“Post 911 we became a federal security state. “
I’m thinking blindness is no excuse but the handwriting on the wall was evident long before 911. Just look at the blatant violations of the United States Constitution from the date of ratification.
Frankly 1913 is a pretty bad year as a reference just in the twentieth Century. Graduated Income Tax, Federal Reserve, and top it off with the Seventeenth Amendment which deballed and dehorned Sovereign States of the Union.
States, in the form of Governors Legislatures and elected County Sheriffs are the only legal form of government that stands between “We the People” and out of control Federal Government. When those three allow themselves to be blackmailed and bought off by the Fed, it is “We the People” who are paying for it in more ways than one.
Actually, that statement was by “central_va” that I was responding to, so will include her/him in this.
