“Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.” James Madison

“Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” President John Adams

“I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.” Thomas Jefferson

“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.” -President George Washington

“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.” -President George Washington (This is true, here in pacific northwest, lots of gun owners, very little crime compared to the rest of the nation.)

“The Constitution shall never be construed… to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” -Samuel Adams

“The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. ” -Samuel Adams

“Who are the militia? are they not ourselves?… Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American….” -Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb 20, 1788

“I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” -Thomas Jefferson

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” -Thomas Jefferson

“Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln

“The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.” James Madison

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” Patrick Henry

“The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops..” -Noah Webster, An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms… disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” -Thomas Jefferson

“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” -James Madison

And for those of you who are blind and believe our government does not tyrannize it’s people, just look to Waco, and Ruby Ridge. Any government capable of doing such things can not be trusted.

By posting this comment I am exercising my First Amendment rights as guaranteed by the United States Constitution, which more or less seems to have been repealed by all these homeland security laws, patriot act, etc. I suppose I will be investigated for making my pro-constitution post. But folks, I think you will see great parallels in history between the rise of Nazi Germany, and our post 9/11 country. Remember that Hitler, too, was elected by the people… And that our country is adopting the same tactics used by the Gestapo.

I will leave you with a couple more quotes…

“He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave.” Andrew Carnegie

“A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.” Senator Barry Goldwater

“Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” -Ibid

“McCarthyism is Americanism with its sleeves rolled.” -Senator Joseph McCarthy

(If only we had a few more senators like Goldwater and McCarthy, our nation wouldn’t be in such bad trouble as it is.)

After 4 months of threatening extortion letters from my wonderful city government, I was contacted by a law firm to collect the debt. I was informed that I either pay the $180 or face civil action to include legal fees which could run as high as $1500, have a LIEN placed on my house, my vehicle (any vehicle) impounded, my driver’s license suspended and, oh, they would also see to it that my credit rating was severely harmed as well.

Well, since my plan to sell my house and bug out to some place far away from here fell thru with the Fed-induced recession, I was forced to pay the extortionist money to this God-forsaken hell hole of a city. All for simply being a safe driver and trying to avoid an accident. It doesn’t matter what you do or say, if they get you on camera, they’re going to get your money. After all, THEY have ALL the POWER! From now on, I am slamming on my brakes at EVERY light with a camera at it in hopes of causing a rear-end collision. I will then SUE THE HELL OUT OF THIS CITY FOR CAUSING ME TO DRIVE IN FEAR OF FURTHER EXTORTION!!!!! Nuff said? On with more police state news…

About 3 months ago, I was driving with my girlfriend to Dominick’s to get 25 gallons of reverse-osmosis water at around 11:30 PM. We were out and I won’t drink the tap water in this city. This is the irony of the situation because as I was sitting at a RED light, with my seat belt on and my girlfriend doing the same in the seat next to me, one of Chicago’s “finest” pulls up to the red light approaching from the other direction. Tapping her brakes, she proceded to drive through the RED light. Disgusted at this sight, since I had just forked over $180 of my hard-earned money for doing MUCH less, I glanced to my left with that same disgusted look on my face. I suppose this offended my master, because she immediately made a U-turn and pulled me over (I was STOPPED – at a RED light, mind you…). With their guns drawn, they approached my car screaming to show my hands.

In shock as to what was happening because I had done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG, I complied, and they opened my driver side door. I was told to get out of the car and I was immediately handcuffed. When I asked her why I was being handcuffed, she replied, “It’s for my protection.” Hmmm… You’re the ones with the guns and I’M the one being cuffed? OK, Ma’am… whatever YOU say! After being questioned as to where I was going and where I was coming from (ahem…. “Your papers, Please!”), I was accused of being a cocaine user and having been down to the 10th precinct in the past.

Now, being a law-abiding citizen, 4 year veteran of the US Army, college graduate, and self-employed health fanatic, I have NO idea where the 10th precinct is and have NEVER in my life done cocaine. In fact, I’ve never been handcuffed (against my will, anyway) in my entire life, and I haven’t done ANY drugs whatsoever since 1998 when I had a bad experience with pot at a Christmas party. So suffice to say, I was completely baffled as to why I was being treated in such a manner.

My entire body was searched as was my girlfriend’s, and they did a 4th amendment-defying search of my entire car as well–all without asking for my permission, mind you. Finally, the female “law-enforcement” officer who had pulled me over actually recognized me from a party about 8 months prior that we had both attended via a mutual friend and un-cuffed me. They had a good laugh and I was on my way. I was shaken at the time and felt it in my body as I trembled driving away. But, in retrospect of the entire situation, I am enraged at the shear number of laws that were broken, not by me, but by those who have sworn to protect and serve me and who are paid by my tax money.

And it’s only getting worse. There will be nearly 300 red-light cameras in this city by year’s end, the street sweepers are now affixed with ticket and revenue generating cameras on them so police no longer have to write tickets, and there will soon be camera vans driving the “Rush Hour” traffic lanes nailing illegal parkers one by one in a split second–and most likely one minute after the rush hour starts. Orwell was so prophetic and so spot-on about everything he wrote. Is it any wonder why you can’t get 1984 on DVD in this country. Nope, it’s NEVER been released on DVD in America. Ever wonder why?

It’s time for the APATHETIC, INTELLECTUALLY LAZY people of this once-great country to come together, come to the REALIZATION of just what the hell is REALLY going on here and fight the power like they’ve never done before. Because if we don’t do it now, while we still have SOME semblance of a constitution in place as our “law of the land” it will be too late once it is suspended and our rights have all been taken from us by the criminals who control the reigns of power in this country…. and the world! As for me, I AND my tax money are SO OUTTA here once I can get my house sold!

10-10-2008 is the trinity of perfection

10-10-10 and three days later will be 33

Try to stay safe, these bastards have something planned for the little people. No doubt they will be safe, the ones with the real control anyway.
