"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force;
like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master."
- George Washington

The very essence of government is violent force. It is evil. All throughout history, government has served as the oppressor, an organization of hate, and as a tool of the most brutal tyrants.

Government corrupts, abuses everything in its path, and wastes the wealth of its citizens. It sponsors inequality, confiscates private property, regulates the behavior of individuals, and persucutes crimes a mere pittance to its own. Then just for kicks, it debases the currency so it can steal yet more of its citizens wealth.

Yes, certain governments are worse than others, and America has been the best!  But it's quickly changing in front of our eyes, rapidly too, as we continue to be blinded by love for the State.

Mao Zedong:

The power of government comes out of the barrel of a gun.

In the following video, Pastor Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, AZ, exercised his 4th Amendment rights at a Department of Homeland Security roadblock.  What came next ... is brutal. Please watch for yourself.

More violent than your worse nightmare at the height of the Cold War, this was the cold, brutal act of a totalitarian regime.

This can't go on folks! It has to stop now!

It's time for conservatives to reclaim our defense of the individual, and our resistance to the State! The only other choice we've got ... bend-over for our Masters ...

This ain't no dress rehearsal folks!  It's the real deal.

God help us all.

"He that would make his own liberty secure
must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty
he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."

Pastor Beaten, But Supreme Court Grants Agents Exception to Obeying Constitution:

An Arizona pastor – Tasered, bloodied by broken glass and sporting 11 stitches in his head – claims his injuries came from being stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint 75 miles inside the U.S. and then being battered by police for refusing to allow agents to search his vehicle.

The incident earlier this week highlights tension between constitutional rights, the issue of border security and a controversial Supreme Court ruling that grants an exceptional level of police authority near the Mexican border.

Pastor Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe claims he did nothing to deserve his eventual arrest and believes that when he refused to allow the search of his car he was simply standing up for his Fourth Amendment rights, which protect him against unreasonable search without a warrant.

Anderson further questions why the Border Patrol is allowed to stop and search cars at a checkpoint along Interstate 8, 75 miles inland of where the highway nears the Mexican border at Yuma, Ariz.

"I was in the United States! I had crossed no international border!" writes Anderson in commentary accompanying a video he made about his experience.

"I didn't have any drugs; I didn't have a human beings in my car," he claims in the video itself. "Why is this happening in the United States of America?"
