Vermont Persecutes Gold Buyers & Other Government Seizures of Freedoms 3-4-13



Liberal government is all about taking your freedoms. Some of the latest invasions on individual rights are hitting coin dealers (or those who deal in precious metals) in Vermont as they are forcing all transactions over $1000 to take a photo of the customer, record the license plate number, and hold all precious metals for 30 days so they can track down any criminals before they are melted down. Coin dealers in the ultra-liberal state were already required to have a license if they were dealing more than $50,000 a year.

This bill was passed due to the increased number of precious metal thefts since the prices reached record numbers in the past few years. A lot of collectors and customers of precious metals believe, as I do, that gold & silver are a great hedge against Obama’s wavering economy. Once the dollar is worth next to nothing (and it’s getting there fast with the record spending) precious metals are going to be valued even more.  They are the universal currency and always have been, so it’s wise to get in while the getting’s good.


If you are a coin dealer or precious metal buyer in Vermont with a large number of sales, you will now have trouble with cash flow as the gold and silver must sit in your safe until the 30 day mark just in case someone might be selling stolen goods. This is a flagrant infringement on the rights of anyone not only buying gold and silver in that state, but also selling. You will be guilty in the eyes of the law until you are cleared after law enforcement goes through all of your information. You will most likely be put on some list as a suspect of sorts.


It always baffles me how so many liberals go as far as protesting in the streets when the government decides to invade their privacy and gets into your bedrooms and personal lives. Honestly, I feel the same way. The only difference is that I choose to vote for candidates who will honor my right to privacy (as much as you can hope for in this broken system). Voting Democrat is akin to giving your rights to any privacy away, as long as the lawmaker deems it valid.

Liberals used the Sarah Palin “Death Panel” remarks as a source of scorn, saying that she was just “ginning up” issues to strike fear into the hearts of “paranoid” voters. It’s funny to remember that, and so many other examples, when Obama and his disciples went on a massive fear campaign last month, saying the Sequester would cause such massive cuts that we would all be suffering. Disabled children kicked out into the streets, cancer patients denied treatments, Head Start programs ending across the country, and, of course, illegal alien criminals released from prison were just a few of the fear tactics the Democrats used to bully Republicans into striking a deal. Thankfully they didn’t give in. (It was a first for them.) But the fear tactics are something Obama is well versed in but the Main Stream Media only lets it slide when liberals use them.

However much the Democrats and their media lapdogs lashed out at Palin for the Death Panel comments, it really has proven to be a valid issue in countries with socialized medicine. Great Britain recently denied a drug that was proven to work to keep breast cancer at bay, saying it was too expensive. There are often waits of many months for people needed major surgeries. Many procedures that are proven to be effective are usually voted down by these “Death Panels” because it is no longer your decision whether or not to get a certain treatment. Now, you are the government’s property. It’s a lot easier to become a slave than it is to get free. That’s something that liberals would disagree on, but they shouldn’t complain when the government tells them how to act in their bedroom if they are so willing to give up all other rights.
