The legend of El Dorado

First there was Ruby Ridge, then there was Waco. Now there’s El Dorado, Texas as the latest site of excessive government force being used against private citizens.

Now, I’m not Mormon or fundamentalist Mormon, and I’m certainly not in favor of polygamy. (One wife is enough, thanks!) But El Dorado is sure to soon join the ranks of Ruby Ridge and Waco, as well as what the Janet Reno-led ATF did in Miami to Elian Gonzoles all those years ago. The same overuse of force is evident.

It’s a classic tale of an overbearing government using children as a sheild and excuse to attack people of an odd faith and impose their will on them. All the cameras and fiber cable in the world won’t change the images of an excessive force raid El Dorado’s “FLDS compound.

The black helicopter conspiracy theorists will be all over this one for decades to come.
