Blogline of the Day – Race, mobocracy, and the diminishment of the Rule of Law

Have we indeed passed from having a government, populated by civil servants, that is supposed to be a tool wielded by Citizens?  To one where the Sovereigns are now increasingly becoming the subjects of Civil Masters who wield the levers of power of Government for their own good?  Emphasis mine:

What the prosecution and subsequent trial demonstrated is that a spineless governor and a prosecutor who has set their eyes on higher political office can and will financially ruin you and put your liberty in jeopardy for grins. We have passed into that twilight of the Republic where we are no longer citizens but rather subjects of a bureaucratic juggernaut at the service of mob rule that will cheerfully kill you and impoverish your family if it furthers the careers of those in the bureaucracy.

That is what we have seen unfold in Seminole County, Florida over the past two weeks.

…This is where we’ve come. From a nation founded on the rule of law. Where one of our founders, John Adams, successfully defended the soldiers accused of the Boston Massacre to one where the governor of a state cooperates to set aside the rule of law in favor of the rule by mob.

We should all go to bed terrified over what we have become.

Yes, we are being fundamentally transformed – partially by those whose intent is to do exactly just that and by a bureaucratic behemoth that just does that simply because it is a behemouth?  And yes, there are increasingly larger numbers of people, who remember what duty, honor, courage, responsibility, promises, morals, and God once meant – that one was expected to act and live “on the High Road”, who are now saying that the Black Clouds of Tyranny are gathering faster and faster.  And are wondering if they are next?
