Restitance is No Longer Futile -- Now it is Outright Illegal

An Indianapolis court has just ruled that citizens have no right to resist when a cop tries to enter their home -- EVER. That's right, whether the police entry is legal or not you cannot resist. If you do, you will be violently subdued, arrested, and criminally charged.

In support of this ludicrous ruling the court said, "We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence." Against public policy? Incompatible with a constitutional right to be free from unreasonable governmental intrusions? These justices are out of their minds. They simply could not be more wrong on this issue. Both public policy and that damn Fourth Amendment explicitly allow citizens to resist illegal entry into their homes. Even a stupid child would understand that.

I, for one, will not tolerate these kinds of blatantly incorrect readings of my rights. If the courts get it wrong as they surely did here, we as citizens must resist. We are morally obligated to throw off such tyranny. If anyone tries to enter my home illegally I WILL RESIST. I promise.

Tyranny is the New Freedom

I am seriously considering writing a book about the true tyranny that has taken over this country. And why not, with a readership as large as this blog has (3 confirmed subscribers) the market is already in place. Levity aside, it really is time for this country to wake up to its state of servitude.

I have said it before and I will say it to my dying breath, taxing income is tyranny. There is no getting around that fact. To add to that I will declare that government prohibiting the free movement and expression of its subjects (citizens is no longer the appropriate term to describe Americans) is further proof of the tyranny we endure.

We cannot speak publicly without first obtaining a permit from the government. That permit always includes a fee and limits the time and manner of our speech. Needing government permission to speak is hardly an earmark of a free country.

The same is true for movement. To travel, even small distances, you need a license from the government (with its accompanying fees) to drive, your car requires a license and its ownership taxed, the gas you need is even heavily taxed. Once you get in your car the taxes and government control continue. You are required to wear a seat belt under penalty of law, even if no accident occurs, and I can't count how many other government taxes and controls are hidden in the production, transportation, and sale of the car itself.

Try accessing a national park and you will have to first seek government approval and pay a tax. In Utah, there are actually roads you cannot go at all unless you ride the government bus. No personal cars allowed? When did that happen? I paid for that road and now I can't even use it. Tyranny at its best.

Want to ride a bike to get around the government permission issue and you will be sadly surprised. Many, if not all, municipalities require you to license your bike. Many also require you to wear a helmet whether you want one or not.

Now let me point out just how absurd the government micromanagement of its subjects has become. In Philadelphia the police are now spot-checking your car to see if you locked it and they are fining you if you don't. If you are not outraged by that then it is too late to write my book. What free people would allow government agents to randomly check their door handles and then fine them for not locking the door? None.

I will lock my door if I choose and I will leave it unlocked if I choose. ITS MY CAR! Anyone who thinks the government should have a right to check my door is mentally unstable. Sorry, Fourth Amendment, you are no longer needed. And then to add a fine? Who would support such an oppressive control? Only a tyrant, that's who.

Its Time to Wake Up!

This is it. This is the final wake up call. If these stories do not terrify you into action, nothing will until it is too late.

First, The IRS, that's right, the IRS, will administer Obamacare. Who trusts this to go well? I, for one, will never pay another dime in federal taxes if the IRS ever actually gets the power to decide my health care.

Next, state governments are already circumventing your Constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. Pandemic bill allows health authorities to enter homes, detain without warrant. Remember the disastrous results of the same type of "emergency powers" after the hurricane in New Orleans? It's about to get far worse. Under this bill the police can force their way in and force you to be innoculated or quarantined against your will. There are fines and criminal penalties for your failure to comply, at least.

And, finally (if only it could actually be finally) Obama is seeking the power to seize the Internet at his discretion and without so much as an explanation. Obviously, only Democrat Presidents will have such a power. Once a Republican gets into office this power will somehow become unconstitutional even though it was somehow not unconstittutional before.

That's it. Your terror update for today. Oddly, I now fear the United States government more than any terrorist group anywhere. Blowing up somehow seems fun compared to our sure to be brutal future.

It really seems odd to me that the most benevolent country in the world is so easily turning into a sadistic fascist dictatorship. I have had enough change Obama. Its time to change it back.
