They keep forgetting this:
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
There must have been many people served by his food. Why didn’t they gather together in a firing line? What would our forefathers have done? Taking and destroying food? I know the government has an endless supply of money, stolen from the common people, but everything this guy has worked for is taken on a whim. My Gawd people, Americans are no longer Free, because we are not Brave.
Years ago an Amish farmer Stanley ya kid battled with the government for the right to feed his cattle his own grain
The level of evil evident in this story is only possible from government. Demonic.
The guy who GAVE THE ORDERS to administratively detain and then to confiscate his meat must have a serious “accident”, soon. Or the community needs to go 1776 on the whole bunch of them.
But they are gentle, God-fearing folks, so it won’t happen.
So they'll bankrupt him with legal fees, using his own tax money to do so. Is that a "loser pays" state?
