Well, they're some of the everyday people you see on the street and if you weren't paying attention to detail, you'd miss them. But there's always some sort of little, identifiable oddity that lets them stand out. Even though they may appear to be homeless, they're not, and almost without exception, they claim to be believers of peace. The first thing they announce to you in conversation is, "I don't believe in confrontation." Thus the following expressions are usually of "Anti war." Conveniently forgetting they're standing on the graves of a million or so fallen warriors that made it possible for them to be as free speaking as they are.
They aren't all dressed like bums of course, some may be lawyers,doctors, Indian Chiefs but seldom small businessmen. The difference is, you can't be a successful, independent small business operator without need for confrontation along the way. Consider it necessary self defense. It's part of life in a "free" Society such as ours. It comes with the territory, you might say.But most of the "Conscientious" Objectors can afford to take the non-confrontational attitude because of one thing; they're supported in one way or another by a Gov't., be it city, Municipality, County, State or Federal. The people at the top of the chain through grants, loopholes in the tax system or subsidies. The people down the ladder a little ways are supported by the jobs that are in turn, paid for by grants and subsidies afforded them by again, the "Confrontational" Taxpayers in the private sector. The truly "productive" dollar folks, including of course, the productive workers needed to do what Gov't is expected to do.
The group I criticize, as a whole are connected to a different philosophy. "Non productive Taxpayer dependence" in one way or another. Be it a grant to study the carpenter ants on the San Juans or someone who has learned to survive on the welfare system.
The other thing they've learned to do is, although they find every reason to abuse and deny the Constitutional rights of others, such as the Marxist/Socialists do, demand the freedoms allowed every American by way of the Constitution itself. Flag burning, rioting, restricting religious freedom in Public schools, voter fraud, carrying "Peace" signs and draft dodging when it comes time to serve their country in a time of need.
My point being, Freedom isn't free! Keeping it free sometimes requires "confrontation" with the perpetrator, whoever it may be.
So, in order to have the best of both worlds, at no threat to themselves, they get away with it at the cost of the people who have fought and died to maintain it.
However, instead of just not participating in the cost of the freedom we enjoy and staying silent as they should, they go a step further and interfere with the process that is required to defend our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Does that make sense to you? Is this a time to "Remain silent if you have nothing good to say," as the Socialists so often say? Or should we, as a Silent Majority and earnest voter, turn the tables and apply it to them with whatever means it takes to Constitutionally shut them up?
Is this a conundrum? Should we ask Barack Hussein Obama?
"Freedom Moochers" for sure, if you ask me!!! Then again, who's asking me? Just sayin'.
