"But all I ever did was work at the Department of Motor Vehicles!"
From Vin Suprynowicz:
It's offensive even having to go to the DMV. Commercial freight hauling may be an excisable activity, but merely traveling on the public roads is a right, not a privilege. From whom did George Washington have to beg the "privilege" of riding his horse from Virginia to Boston in 1775?
A once free people, we only seek to pay "our" taxes and obey the law, jumping through the ever-greater assemblage of hoops set out for us. Yet now we are increasingly lined up, numbered and humiliated by a police state so perverse it punishes only those who try to obey the laws, until we are treated as aliens in our own land, while the invaders receive protection from the police who should be arresting them as they march in our streets with their foreign flags, demanding to have our immigration laws overturned while collecting checks from our government.
Do the bureaucrats really think there will never be a price to pay?
The answer is yes. As things fall apart, they will one day be surprised to find that they are incorrect.

Vin better read his American history (and his law). Driving on a public road is not a right. Sorry legally it is not. Period. Maybe it should be but that is not the case now. As to George Washington paying to use a road, toll roads were common in the founding period. I like Vin, but he's off base here. There are in fact other reasons to beat the 'alien in his own land' drum. His examples are not valid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll_roads_in_the_United_States
We are getting ready for the dispensation of some justice.
Bureaucrats are number one on the list.
Especially the ones at the DMV. And the IRS.

Their "Logic" is that yes you have a right to travel on the public roads, but that there is no right to operated a "motor vehicle" on the public roads.

Wasn't it two years ago that our current low level marxist agitator reminded some other low level marxist agitator that "Don't think we're not keeping score, brother." They, all of them, better remember that we are keeping score.
There is a truism that,
With a free market, you will get ever more choice of ever improving and ever cheaper goods and services.
Whenever that fails to be true, you can be certain that there's a government involved.
WV says: fixedc Very appropriate.
And they fail to also realize that the price they will pay is increasing daily. The amount is staggering.
Funny thing. There was series on CW (I think) about a guy how got tagged to be a bounty hunter for Hell bring in escaped souls (who knew you could escape from hell?)
Anyhow once he had captured the soul and had it safely in a "vessel" he had to turn it in at sort of a "branch office" of hell. Closest on to him was the local office of the DMV.
Who knew it was based on fact?
Two observations about government workers. 1) How many "civil servants" have YOU ever come across who were either . . civil OR servants??
2) Mullins' Maxim: "Those who can, do. Those who cannot go into government work so they don't HAVE to."

Many career bureaucrats are walking, talking mediocrities. For them, the only satisfaction in life is making other people miserable and dominating them in various petty ways. They know that what they are doing is wrong but they enjoy what their position allows them the chance to do. The pay and benefits are a nice bonus though they'd do their "jobs" for free if it meant the opportunity to keep on humiliating people.
Do they think there won't be a price to pay? You assume that they think at all. DMV bureaucrats and others are like children with no concept of object permanence. The consequences of their actions are some abstract concept that exercises no hold on their thoughts and never will until the moment they wake and find a group of their victims shining flashlights in their eyes. Then they will beg and plead and talk about how they were "just doing their job." Too little, too late.

Texas is fighting this right now with SB 9. But it seems that there were only 3 NEA votes on the committee vote to move it out. F*%king traitors.
http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/history.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=SB9
This means that not only will Texas driver’s licenses be transformed into a NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARD, but it will also hold biometric and other personal information.
Senate Bill 9, authored by Senator Tommy Williams of The Woodlands, allocates $70 MILLION to the implementation by way of an increase of DL renewal fees. McCraw says that the Department needs $63 MILLION to upgrade equipment.
This will make sure that DPS is able to collect, store, and maintain biometric information, including ALL fingerprints (rather than just the thumb) and facial scans. $133 MILLION over the next two years will also be used to create six “mega centers” to handle the influx of “business.” …
one hundred heads....
Pineywoods Patriot rightly calls out state Sen. Williams who tosses kibbles and bits to the fools every few years, gets reelected and screws us to the floor with few even noticing.
Texans, call,write or email your congressmen now! I did.
Yup, call your congresscritters and state legislators, THAT'LL TEACH EM'. As if. Ilea iacta est.
"one hundred heads...."
would probably get the job done in Ireland. Drop in the bucket in our case.
RKV, have you ever heard of the 9th or 10th amendments-where those powers not expressely granted to the federal or state government are reserved for the American People? That means you have a right to travel... had one until the early 1900s when the Model T came out and the rich decided they'd better have those things registered and controlled.
The rich have had their lawyers register and control us over the past century-any agreeing with the enemy is agreeing they have a right to deny you yours.
Now, what if you burnt your licence and melted down your plates into a hand flipping off with a urn for the melted plastic? You'd be thrown in jail.
If you and yours did that? Same story but they'd call you a bunch of right wing extremists.
If you got a whole neighborhood or the rural equivalent to do that? They'd call y'all a cult and send in the tanks.
Now, if you got a town's worth of people to do it... you'd have an act of mass civil disobedience; and as long as those participating didn't wander off into a jurisdiction where this wasn't going down chances are good they'd get away with it until they called in a Brigade Combat Team.
Now... turn this into a wider spread refutation of the DMV's bureaucrats and their presumed power? Well what could they do? It'd be like the other day-a mass shoplifting at a store, over 30 shoplifters struck at the same time and there was NOTHING nobody could do about it.
The problems are planting the ideal in people's heads and motivating them that this is needed to regain Freedom. And that their lost government their lost Freedom is why they slaves in the first place.
And thanks for the inspiration, I'll expand on this soon.
And this is why some refer to this mindset as 'security theatre'.
If a person comes in with perfect documentation - it actually presents a 'red flag'. Whereas if a person has minor but inconsequential discrepancies - it's more indicative of an 'identity' that actually has history.
My own paper trail likely has an inconsistency very similar to Vin's - but thankfully I haven't been to a DMV office for about 20 years. Though my own license is still valid for another 10 years - I also received an invitation to visit the DMV to have a new photo taken. Since the notice mentioned nothing of any penalty for not getting an updated photo - I ignored it.
Day of the rope will come!
Vin asks: "Do the bureaucrats really think there will never be a price to pay?"
Speech to the Jews of Warsaw in 1939, with war clouds obvious on the horizon: "As if some big enemy came and chloroformed their minds."
The bureaucrats will not pay a price until they are inconvenienced by their own hyperinflation of the dollar. Lots of Americans will stay asleep as their lifestyle is reduced to an arbitrarily low level, as an iron curtain is raised against free trade and free travel, to transform the continental USA into an open-air concentration camp like the USSR and many other genocides. Consider the Argentina collapse that FerFAL writes about. The State is there as always, violently suppressing free enterprise and effective self-defense from criminals, especially themselves. Nothing changed except an increase in the rate of decay to Communism.
What were those rules of gunfighting? Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH? The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get? Weren't there some WWII-era German militia who were bypassed because they weren't willing to fire "first" on Fort Sumter, instead they were waiting for the majority to reject Socialism and back them, which never happened?
I would argue that, by and large, bureaucrats such as the DMV are the LEAST appropriate to deal with. They neither give the edicts, since that is done by the Masters, nor enforce them, since that is done by the oath-breakers. I would expect that all Masters should indeed pay the price at an appropriate time, but do you propose that ALL oath-breakers should also pay the piper, even if they stand down or change to honor their oath? If you won't go there, why go after some DMV bureaucrat who is only trying to make it possible for you to USE the highways in the only way their Masters and the oath-breakers will allow you to do so?
Are some DMV bureaucrats dipshits? Yes, of course. And MOST of them are a result of Affirmative Action. But you cannot simply look at who is eligible for same to determine if they are INDEED "one of them". Many, if not most, DMV bureaucrats are merely doing their best to get your license renewed as quickly as they can in accordance with how they are ordered to do their job. They do NOT make the rules. Those come from the Masters. They do NOT enforce the rules. That is done by the oath-breakers. So WHY in God's name do you want to take it out on the bureaucrats? Are there not ENOUGH others who truly deserve their fate?
For two to three years after Oklahoma City, the government employees at all levels seemed eager to be of service and seemed to be actually working.
Cause and effect?
