You couldn't possibly know what my "base point" is.
I'm sharing what I observe out on the streets.
I understand how many would not like what I described. However, what it is is what it is.
OSHA is not welcome in many circles, nor DEA, nor BATF, and I do see a tendency in small jurisdictions to dislike anything that comes out of DC.
Specifically, if the INS came in and told everyone to watch out for illegal aliens THAT would create another grassroots underground railroad.
Interestingly, the folks who don't warm up to the mandates from Big Brother in WashDC are more hip about the Amendments, about the flag, more likely to go to church and to know the Pledge.
Best way to love America is to stay the hell out of big cities.
That last sentence was an editorial, of course.

I was stating my base point, i.e., the reason I thought the article worth posting.

I may not like a lot of what they do, but I still follow the law to the best of my ability. If I want to change the system I group with others likeminded and we try to change the system. I DON'T like a lot of the things the feds do, but the only power they have is the power we the people give them from our lack of involvement. By posting here and alerting others, grouping with people locally, and voting we can stem the tide and get back to where we believe we should be. Will it ever get bad enough that we blatanly break the law to overthrow an opressive regime? Perhaps. But that time has not yet come. These officers have a duty to uphold the law and enforce it's rules. It is for a jury to decide if the law applies. They need to do their job.
