Why I Do This

lifted from rushlimbaugh.com
Dear NSA,
The reason I am writing this blog is because I have grievances with the federal government; and while I do write my representatives from time to time, I feel like the only federal government entity that listens is you (not that I expect you to respond). Yes, I'm aware that drawing attention to myself can invite trouble from powerful people, but I learned a long time ago that pretending to ignore a bully doesn't work, neither does ignoring the Fed.

I have political opinions that are unpopular and against the ideas of the current administration. So far no one has been able to convince me I'm wrong.

I'm watching the rights I enjoy being threatened, reduced, and taken away. My freedoms of worship, self defense, privacy, and many others are being repressed with seemingly every new law and regulation coming down the pipe.

I used to be afraid to say anything, but I've been afraid so long, that I'm sick to death of it. If I'm going to continue to have unpopular ideas, then I can either be silent and a slave, or I can be vocal and a target. Frankly, I'd rather be a target.
