"The FBI has admitted creating a controversial anti-terrorism flyer that's sparking outrage in conservative discussion groups.
The flyer instructs the reader to report as a possible terrorist anyone who asks why they were stopped by police or anyone who dares to defend "the U.S. Constitution against federal (sic) government."
In an interview, FBI spokesman Ed Hall confirmed the flyer was produced by the joint anti-terrorism task force in Phoenix. But he said it dealt with domestic terrorism: "That flyer was put out two years ago. Someone picked it up and put it on the Internet like it was put out this week."
Hall did admit that the section that states anyone spotting a defender of the U.S. Constitution "should call the Joint Terrorism Task Force" was perhaps a teensy bit ill-advised. "It could have been a bit better foundation worded saying you're not a right-wing extremist if you defend the Constitution ... or if you ask a police officer why they're stopping you," Hall said. "There's some misinterpretation there"

You should also recall that the admonishment of Jesus to the Pharisees regarding the tax made an important distinction for the Christian to remember in considering the relationship between the Christian and the government. Jesus did not merely say, "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's." Jesus said: "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and to God that which is God's." There is a hierarchy that the Christian must obey, and the Christian's first object of obedience must be God, even if that brings the Christian into conflict with the government. The Emperors demanded that the ancient Christians worship them. They refused, yet ROMANS:13 could be interpreted as requiring them to obey. St. Paul did not obey that governmental command, either, yet Paul was the transcriber of the Divinely-inspired ROMANS:13.
