While I have not changed my beliefs on the illegal, immoral policies and actions of the state, somehow, in the past few months, I have, in the opinion of some readers, changed political affiliations. When I was writing of the illegal wars of the warfare/welfare state, I was often asked to leave the country, called a traitor, a coward, and accused of being a commie liberal. Now, since I have attacked the illegal, immoral actions of the welfare/warfare Obama administration regarding the Second Amendment, I am accused of being a fascist and questioned as to why I supported Bush and his torture of "enemy combatants," and the Patriot Act.
To many Americans, calling the state on its many crimes when their chosen candidate/party is in power automatically places one in the enemy camp. Freedom, liberty and the Constitution have been swept away in the flood of party politics. Nowhere is the folly of allowing party politics to frame the debate on freedom better illustrated than in Lew Rockwell’s newest, The Left, The Right, and the State.
The belief that an answer to the problems now facing this country can/will be found in Washington, D.C. is totally insane. Washington is the home of criminals, those who rob with a gun, and those who rob with unconstitutional laws and regulations. Begging/lobbying either to change their ways is madness. At least, the criminal who robs with a gun does not claim to be a public servant and doing so "for the children."
It is my belief, our last chance at subverting the criminality occurring within the federal apparatus known as the federal government is the reclaiming of the rights of the people and the repudiation of overreaching federal tyranny as defined in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution. This movement, which is now gaining a foothold in many states, is referred to as the State Sovereignty Movement.
