We have a fascist system. It’s a terrorist regime.
Didn’t start with Obama, either. He just feels less need to hide his feelings about the American system we were promised. But at all levels, our government is a boot smashing our face.
Correct
Right out of one of you books, good God...
A friend of mine had a small fire on his property. The State Fire Marshall happened to be a mile or so away, saw the smoke and called the local FD and rushed over.
My friend wouldn’t let them on the property (gated).
Fire Marshall issued a citation.
Friend let it go to court rather than just paying.
Because the FM couldn’t prove or determine who STARTED the fire, the judge threw it out.
It’s the human fallen response to the problems caused by fallenness. Even when the Mosaic law was given, Moses first gave the people a chance to confess they could never keep laws. They insisted oh yes they could... and God proceeded to show them it wasn’t that simple. And if even God’s laws can’t be kept how much less people’s?
Once more, the grace of God is needed. The answer to this sounds oddly screwball — “EVANGELIZE” — but it’s the only one that will really work. We have much worse problems than trash nazis.
And if they were Illegal Aliens they would have been given a pass on everything, especially driving.
I think it is high time for citizens to require a two thirds rule on all levels of govt to pass rules or laws.

Except for the feral government and its agents.
He should have put a US Flag on the debris pile. Then he could have burned it without any trouble.

Never heard of a $250 seatbelt fine in Florida ....
"You're three degrees too hot," he said.
"So what?" I said. "I like a hot shower."
I thought he was joking (silly me). He said he wouldn't wait around for the hot water heater to cool down, or for me to adjust the mix at the faucet; he told me he was placing an administrative lien on the house, meaning we could occupy but no further permits would be issued on the property until we were in compliance.
It was all I could do to keep myself from punching that idiot in the head.
There's a husband, ex-husband, and wife all living together. Am I understanding that correctly?
Arlo Guthrie wrote a song about something like this... a long time ago.
Most people have no idea what a free country would look like or feel like.
There are free countries out there but most of them are only accidently so. This country once aspired and worked at being free but those days were over long ago. Most of us either only dimly remember or never experienced it.
The closest thing to a free country in the modern world is a country whose government is dysfunctional, unambitious, and mildly corrupt. Find one and you’ll find your freedom in the chaos and messiness of a society whose government is incompetent and easily bought off.
Show me the man and I will show you the crime he committed...Berria@NKVD.
So that the local police officers don’t have to empty their own trash baskets, nor perhaps even lift a finger to clean the floor, our city spends $183,433.22 in budgeted funds each year to pay for two full time janitors, one of whom is the supervisor, and two part timers who work mostly for the combined 9 weeks of vacation that the two janitors rack up each year. This does not include any off budget expenses, such as retirement or benefits, which would double that number.
When I brought this up during a city council meeting, one of the council members laughed it off. ‘What, you want someone who earns $45 an hour to do something that could be done by someone for less than half that cost?’
Yes, I want the person who’s earning $45 an hour to get off their rump and walk their trash to the trash can, recycling bin, composting bins. I want them to occasionally pull out a mop and clean up a mess. Now if they want to pool together their money and have someone come in one a week and do that stuff for them? More power to them. Even if the city did it for them, the cost would hardly top $5,600 a year.
They can’t have all these lavish luxuries and additional employees without stealing more from citizens. And that’s where all these additional fines and penalties come from - massive waste of taxpayer funds at every level.
Oh, and as for the city councilman? He lost his reelecton bid as the video of his laughing was spread through the town. The police chief even carried out his own trash for 5 days - this year’s preliminary budget raises the cost to $212,000 for cost of living raises.
“You know,” Mike said, “I didn’t have the first clue it was illegal to burn certain items. I actually violated some county EPA regulation.
...
I would like to know what he burned.
Won’t take too long before mildly corrupt becomes wildly corrupt.
We would see it in a land whose people and officials alike (the form of government matters surprisingly little) are looking to God with their hearts and where all agree that the love of God precedes everything else. And not some formalized verbalized love, or even one that requires attendance at a church building, but one lived in the entire way that a society lives.
Our problems are a warning sign that heaven has allowed to arise.
