Political Wildfire

"Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting."
--John Creasy (Man on Fire)

Judge Nap observes that there is a political wildfire spreading throughout the land. If not ignited, it was certainly stoked by Edward Snowden.

At first glance, the flames appear to be public backlash against the notion that the federal government can indiscriminately spy on the citizenry. Upon further scrutiny, the fire reflects pushback against the suffocating size and scope of central government.

It is spreading because more people are waking up to the reality of obtrusive government every day. They are waking up because it is their liberty that is being compromised in the name of State power.

The more this wildfire grows, the harder it will be for Statists to put out.

Truly, this blaze has to be the Statists' worst nightmare.
