Reasonable Regulations

You have no rights...

Land of the free? Who ever tells you that is your enemy! (Zach de la Rocha)
The powerful and corrupt Federal government is a result of the utter perversion of the Constitution. The politicians take the oath to "preserve and protect" the Constitution and violate it with impunity the very same day.

I am considered a radical and an anarchist to say that the Constitution means what it means. I am unreasonable to agree with the founders that, "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. . ."

  • I believe in an absolute freedom of speech.

  • I believe in an absolute right to bear arms, including machine guns and other military ordnance.

  • I believe that all people have a right to full court protection from government prosecution including; due process, a speedy and public trial by jury and warrants based on probable cause only.

  • I believe the federal government has only the powers specifically enumerated, all others belong to the states and the people.

No exceptions, under any circumstances. I will not sacrifice my freedom for promises of security or a handout.

What we have now is an Orwellian dystopia straight out of Animal Farm. Today "no animal shall kill any other animal" becomes, "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause."

In the recent Heller v. D.C. case the Supreme Court ruled that Americans have the right to keep and bear arms, but said the government can enact reasonable regulations. That isn't a right anymore. It is a privilege which can be revoked at any time, at whim. We are no longer equal citizens, but subjects.

The list goes on and on. Our hallowed Bill of Rights is swiss cheese with exception after exception legislated by congress, signed the president, and upheld by the courts.

America is a constitutional republic. Without strict adherence to the Constitution what is left?
