"...Isn't it odd that a nation built on the concept of protecting the individual has found so many ways to attack them?"

No not at all. It makes perfect sense. After all, in light of the rule of law, it is the only method of supplanting republican form of government with tyranny. It certainly has worked to a very high degree to date.

In fact, outside of full blown overt outright police state/Marshal law being instituted and implemented, there is really was no other viable method in our time and circumstances that could be effective in undermining our Liberty with the subsequent results of a coup of this here constitutional Republic from the inside out.

Consider the truth. We live under a system of rule and indenture, where we who observe the rule of law, who pay the bills, keep by our very own examples of decency and conscience, the entire leviathan together. It is our faith, belief in something larger, grander, better than ourselves, that which makes us the great society we are, that this is all that stands in the way of the hordes and their elites. The inherent power of the sovereign contained in this reality is something that must be understood. It must be.

Understanding this truth is the sprout of recourse that grows into the tree of Liberty.

Which in all if you give it a good think, unquestionably leaves it to ourselves to redress such crimes of tyranny and restore Liberty virtue and principle as the driving force in our lives culture and government.

There are certainly none who is coming to our rescue. We of the people have been left out to hang in the breeze. It is to ourselves we must look and depend on. Look inward, but look outward also. It is this that we must come to terms with.

The details of tyranny do not matter any longer. It is here, it exists in every facet of our lives. It is understanding the choices before us. I think many have made the choice of what they will, can, or are doing, on a gut level, an instinctual plane. It is understanding this choice that is the crux of our Liberty and the restoration of it.

This statement of truth below is paramount to understanding something profound about us as a people of Liberty:

It is not ours to restore the power of the Constitution. It is ours to show them the wrath of America without the protections the Constitution offers them.

Let them restore it to find refuge from us.

– TL Davis

Aside from the fact it is the defining statement of our time, it defines the profound nature of who and what we are. There is inherent in this, the understanding of those choices we have before us.

The Tyranny breathing down our throats is like a leech. And like a leech, killing its host is not in its best interest. The idea for the leech is to get its host used to being almost bled dry, leaving just enough blood for its victim to keep up the supply of sustenance the leech can not function without.
For the leech the key here is keeping its victim from the truth, the truth the victim does not need the leech. It is the exact opposite. But shhhhh! don't tell the host that.

Its like the protections of The Constitution.

What protections?
