THE DAY

THE CONSTITUTION DIED
Tx Roadkill Logo
Fighting usurpation of authority since 2006
"So long, and thanks for all the fish..."

No courts, no judge, no jury?  No thanks...

"Crime is crime, aggression against rights is aggression, no matter how many citizens agree to the oppression.  There is nothing sacrosanct about the majority; the lynch mob, too, is the majority in its own domain."
~ Murray Rothbard

The Lynch-Mob Mentality - At least Salem witch hunters gave pretenses of trials before burning their fellow citizens at the stake.  Article by Glenn Greenwald.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."
   ~ C. S. Lewis


Never lose sight of the foundations of our country....

OK, "For What It's Worth" here goes...

As an American Citizen,
the only authority people have over you is that which you willingly grant them.
The State may have certain authorities over individuals,
but only those specifically designated to it by The People via their representatives.
Any other form of authority is an agreement.

Remember: It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Remember: Some peoples' daily task is simply to annoy you...
