Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place

We are caught in a firestorm between 2 raging political machines, Democrats and Republicans - both out to enact their agendas over the protests of citizens.

Republicans try to take away our rights under the guise of protecting us and keeping us safe from the bad guys.

Democrats try to take away our rights under the guise of making everything fair for everybody, redistributing the wealth,and  leveling the playing field.

Our Founding Fathers understood this well. In 1785 James Madison wrote, "It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties."

I'm alarmed.
