July 4 Warning: American Gestapo Ahead

Every July 4, we retreat to fireworks, feast and festival in celebration of an independence that is rapidly becoming little more than a memory. Our ancestors declared their independence in 1776 from a tyrannical, overbearing government.

The independence claimed by the authors of the U.S. Constitution helped them create a government expressly prohibited from becoming tyrannical and overbearing, by limiting its power to certain enumerated responsibilities.

Those limitations have long been ignored, and the current government makes no apology for its overbearing tyranny.

Just as American independence was foreshadowed by a tea party in Boston, America’s new independence is foreshadowed by tea parties across the nation. There is more evidence that a new declaration is being drafted.

Currently, 36 states have approved or are considering some form of state sovereignty resolution. Several states are following Montana’s example, enacting laws that defy federal intervention. More than a dozen states have enacted or are considering legislation that prohibits the federal government from imposing a mandatory National Animal Identification System. These are symptoms of a society that is dissatisfied with the long train of abuses government continues to inflict upon it.

Law enforcement has been patrolling the roads for the last 6-8 months heavily. LOTS of municipalities are taking a lot less tax revenue, so they are going back to the old stand by, traffic tickets. Combine in with that July 4 weekend and you get a bunch of cops watching the road. I travel for a living and in Texas and Louisiana, the cops have really been out since December. And yes I got a ticket for doing 72 in a 70. Guy was writing when he got out of the car. Nothing to do, but take it and pay it. Just another cost of doing business.
