WRSA: 'Where Are the New Ellsbergs?'

Western Rifle Shooters Association presents a highly informative and thought-provoking piece today on Daniel Ellsberg and his disclosure of 'The Pentagon Papers' during the Viet Nam War, and the lack of modern-day Ellsbergs to step forward and decry what law enforcement and military personnel are being forced to do in today's political climate.

Here is an excerpt that should sufficiently heighten your sense of curiosity:

As this country lurches along its deteriorating path in the greatest long-term threat to American liberty since the 1861-1865 Recent Unpleasantness, where are today's Ellsbergs?

I am both unsuprised and yet still appalled by the law enforcement reactions to Mike's recent "Choose Whom You Will Serve" essay. I worked with enough local, state, and Federal law enforcement types during my career to know which way the bulk of those folks will turn come Der Tag.

On that large majority, I will waste no more breath. They have made their choices and so must live with the consequences for themselves and their families, as must I.

But as to the remaining LEOs who do not use their badge and their position as a club against their fellow citizens, I must ask:

If Ellsberg had the courage to do what he did, why haven't you done the same?
