Boston Has Come Full Circle

We have come full circle from 1775. Boston police are proposing that they be allowed to search homes for guns without needing a search warrant. This is a return to the tactics used by the British crown in their attempt to crush freedom in "the colonies". As The Bill of Rights is under under increasing attack by urban political machines and national politicians, this latest threat to our freedom comes in the womb of our nation's conception. A post birth abortion, as the p.c. crowd would call it. Where is the respect for the 4th Amendment? The 5th Amendment? Or the 2nd Amendment? Politicians are seeking to increase their power by ignoring our God given rights as recognized and enumerated in The Bill of Rights. Government does not "give" us our freedoms or liberty, government must be forced to recognize our freedoms and liberty. Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, and all other founding fathers understood this which is why they passed The Bill of Rights. This is why The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the United States of America, and The Bill of Rights were all written in the common language of the day. They did not use "legalese" because they wanted these documents to be understandable to each citizen of this free republic. All the citizens understanding these world changing documents would serve to keep government from becoming tyrannical. The people hold the rights and the power, only when we abdicate our rights and power can government succeed in taking over. Government is like the ocean's tide, always trying to take away our freedom one grain of sand at a time until, like a barrier island, we have no beach/freedom left.
John Adams would be nauseous to see his Boston now.
