Government does too much in the “interest” of safety and public welfare. If they’d leave us alone and concentrate on what the Constitution gives them the power to do we would be in a much better shape.

I’ve been telling my kids for years, “Anytime the government tells you something, ask them why.” Never take them at their word. Make them prove they have the power to do it even if it is a good idea.

We have been an (extra-Constitutional) Banana Republic, for some time. Whom do you propose to reign the leviathan back to its proper scope/place?

The People - whom have been bribed w/ ‘freebies’ using their own $$?, or whom have their votes disenfranchised by illegals/dead/ballot stuffing/etc.?
The Courts - whom use the latest tactic of ‘no standing’? Not even bothering to test vs. Constitution, but based upon ‘case law’
The Executive - whom not, by E.O. and fiat decide which, if any, Laws to enforce...if not creating them outright
The Legislature - whom are too busy bloviating to any camera they can find; whom enjoy salary and perks far exceeding most of the private sector they ‘work for’. Nary a peep otherwise.
The police/armed forced - The former acting as the latter, the latter physically/mentally beaten-down and dejected by ridiculous ROE.

Sorry, my g-parents should have taking to the streets to turn back when they (legally) immigrated. 3 generations later, most couldn’t fathom what REAL Freedom/Liberty would entail, nor living with the consequences thereof.
