The United States of America is about to start a civil war. This is no joke. Congress is trying to pass bill that would allow the United States military to arrest American citizens on American soil without probable cause and without any consideration of any other Constitutional requirements.
You want the right to due process? Not in America!
You want the right to be secure in your private affairs? Not in America!
You want the right to a jury trial? Not in America!
You want any freedom at all? Not in America!
You want a righteous uncorrupted government? Not a chance in America!
This is Congress declaring war on the American people. If you are not already armed and willing to fight these tyrants then you are already dead. And if this total usurpation of the entire Bill of Rights is not enough to trigger a civil war in this country then nothing will.
By the way, for those who think there is a two-party system in this country, check this out. John McCain co-authored this bill.
And one final point. This type of tyranny is why the oft-ignored Third Amendment is so CRUCIAL to the survival of this country. Not allowing troops to be quartered among us is the core of every other right guaranteed by the Constitution which -- if anyone is keeping score or waiting for a sign -- is now officially hanging by a thread.

Secret Service -- What Rights?
The Secret Service recently interrogated a Tacoma seventh-grader because of a Facebook posting he wrote. Several things are shocking about this story.
First, the boy was 13-years-old. Is the SS so incompetent to really consider any 13-year-old a credible threat to the President?
Second, the SS is surfing Facebook looking for postings. If there is such a thing as freedom of speech then nothing posted on Facebook can be considered an illegal threat. If the laws against threatening the president are to be taken seriously they cannot be so inclusive as to ban all discussion or criticism of the president. SS, you do not have the authority to silence American citizens.
Third, the SS conducted the interrogation without first informing the parents of the accused child and without ever obtaining a warrant. This is false arrest at a minimum but I would argue that because the SS never contacted the parents this detention rises to the level of kidnapping.
Fourth, the reason for this federally sanctioned kidnapping is not that the SS actually thought the child was a threat to the president. The SS simply wanted to interrogate the child about his parents and their opinions of Obama. Privacy and constitutional rights be damned.
Listen, the SS does not need to interrogate our children to know where we stand. If they want my opinion of Obama for example, they only have to ask. I have never been apologetic or shy about my constitutionally protected opinions. I will say it loudly and clearly. Obama is the epitome of evil. He is a pawn in a long-standing progressive machine that seeks to destroy this country as we know it. And please realize that falsely arresting and illegally interrogating my children (who are represented by counsel) won't change my opinion or intimidate me. Though it would open a massive can of worms.
Come on SS. It used to be your job to enforce and respect the rights of American citizens. When did your purpose change to oppressing and abusing us instead?

Obamacare is Not Even Arguably Constititional
Government mandated health care violates the United States Constitution.
Government mandated health care violates my First Amendment right to freely exercise my religion since it forces me to pay for abortions and to redistribute wealth against my will both of which violate my religious beliefs.
Obamacare violates my Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms since it will be used to infringe on those rights (forcing me to disclose ownership, storage practices to doctors, etc.) under the guise of health care. This one actually already happens at my kids pediatrician, it is just not forced yet.
Obamacare violates my Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable governmental intrusions. Indeed, my entire medical history and condition will be at the government's fingertips and CONTROL.
It violates my Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate myself in criminal matters. Anything I say to a government owned doctor will surely not be private.
It violates my Eighth Amendment right to not have cruel or unusual punishments be inflicted upon me. For government to determine what care, if any, you will receive is certainly cruel and unusual. Moreover, the threat of criminal penalties and imprisonment for failing to fully participate in government controlled health care is also plainly cruel and unusual. The punishment does not even remotely fit the crime which should not even exist.
Government mandated health care also violates the Ninth and Tenth Amendments which EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT the federal government from infringing the rights of the people that are not specifically enumerated. Those rights include my right to choose my own health care, to not have my wealth redistributed against my will, to not have my health care rationed, to keep my medical conditions private, and to live in a free market as the founders intended.
Remember, the Constitution is an enumeration of powers granted BY THE PEOPLE to the federal government. Nothing in the Constitution even arguably grants the government the power to force the people to purchase anything against their will, especially under the threat of criminal imprisonment.
What about the commerce clause you ask? The commerce clause does not provide any authority for government mandated health care. It merely provides a mechanism to assure uniformity in interstate commerce. The Supreme Court has gone way too far with interpreting how much regulation the government can do but forcing people to purchase a government operated and controlled commodity IS COMPLETELY UNPRECEDENTED.
Never before throughout all recorded history has a government ever had laws in place that punish people criminally for merely existing.

Federal Agents Hunt for Guns, One House at a Time
I told you this was coming. Door-to-door illegal searches of homes for firearms. Who needs more restrictive gun laws when you have the BATFE?
Read the article here: Federal Agents Hunt for Guns, One House at a Time
These searches raise two serious issues. First, federal agents are violating the law. Yes, I know no actual law still applies to the American government but at least they could pretend like they used to do in the 1980's. Coming to your home after purchasing a firearm or ten is explicitly prohibited by numerous laws and by the at least four Constitutional Amendments. Damn that Constitution again. It almost mattered for a minute there.
Second, the agents are wearing plain clothes. Gangsters wear plain clothes too. And scam artists too. If a person wearing plain clothes came to my door and asked me about what guns I owned my reaction would be to panic. I would assume I am being robbed in a home invasion robbery and I would draw my weapon to defend myself. The most logical reason ANYONE would come to your door and ask about your guns is to rob you. I would not even believe they were federal agents, badges or not, since these searches are so patently illegal.
Prediction: These illegal searches will lead to disaster. They will lead to confiscation of legally purchased and owned firearms, false criminal convictions, and in some cases where people defend themselves thinking they are being robbed, death.

Direct Taxes Will Set America Free
America is not free. Anyone who disagrees with me please challenge me on the issue. There is not one single aspect of your life that is not controlled, approved, or taxed by your government in some way. That is intolerable oppression.
The problem is apathy. No one pays attention to these controls or taxes so either no one cares or they do not even know it is happening. As long as people feel free it does not matter to them that they are not. And, America fosters apathy rather than defeats it. Education, media, and the courts are all controlled by liberals who have carefully crafted these institutions over the decades into creating a mindless populace. Most "conservative" sources have even started leaning left in the last few decades.
My solution to this apathy is really simple. I propose an amendment to our federal Constitution that requires the government agencies who tax us to tax us directly. No more bundling taxes into your phone, power, water, and cable bills. No more withholding from your paycheck. No more financing sales tax into your car payment. No more concealing taxes into the price of gas and cigarettes. Under my solution, all taxes must be billed directly from the responsible government agency.
Think about the aftermath.
Within only two or three months after receiving dozens of bills for dozens of taxes from dozens of different government entities this country would revolt. Many would be unable to pay their monthly income taxes because they are so oppressively high and hardly anyone would buy a house or car knowing that a lump sum tax bill is immediately due.
More importantly, Americans would be paying attention. Imagine the accountability this Amendment would create. Every penny in tax increases would be immediately felt and people would become far more attentive to all government actions.
Would anyone at all even tolerate taxes at their current rates if they had to see them and pay them separately? No way.
If we want to be free we have to end apathy. Our Constitution should encourage awareness and require governmental honesty. If they want to tax us into destruction make them do it openly.

Hillary's Appointment to Secretary of State is Illegal
According to the media and your Congress Hillary can serve as Secretary of State even though the United States Constitution says she can't.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081211/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/clinton_pay
I have said it before and I will say it again, the Constitution is not hanging by a thread. IT IS DEAD. The Emoluments Clause prevents Hillary from serving. Period. Congress justifies ignoring the Constitution on the grounds that they lowered Clinton's pay. That is not what the Constitution says. It completely bars her.
The Media love this blatant violation. Notice that the headline of the attached article redirects your attention from the illegality of the appointment to her salary amount. They totally gloss over the illegality of Congress' action. Then, in the text they call the Emoluments Clause "obscure" as if that somehow means it doesn't count.
Reagan refused to appoint Orrin Hatch to the Supreme Court based on the Emoluments Clause. He understood and upheld the Constitution. Plus, he probably knew Hatch was a power hungry bonehead, but I digress.
Apparently no one else cares about that irritating Constitution. Why don't we just burn the damn thing already? Its ashes won't have any less meaning that its now "obscure" and totally meaningless words.
