THE DAY
(if you were never a special person, you are a special person now)
(if you can call an American a 'Day' and take away his civil rights,
what makes you think 'Night' will be any different?)
THE CONSTITUTION DIED
Fighting usurpation of authority since 2006
"So long, and thanks for all the fish..."
No courts, no judge, no
jury? No thanks...
I defect
(and as a citizen, demand political asylum in the
United
States Of America)
Robin Williams in the very fun movie
"Moscow
On The Hudson"
(click on the picture for the entry in the Internet Movie
Database)
"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....

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.
