Judge Napolitano: "What if the Constitution No Longer Applied?"

What if the government could write any law, regulate any behavior and tax any event, the Constitution be damned? What if the government was the reason we don’t have a Constitution anymore? What if you could love your country but hate what the government has done to it? What if sometimes to love your country, you had to alter or abolish the government? What if Jefferson was right? What if that government is best which governs least? What if I’m right? What if the government is wrong? What if it is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong? What if it is better to perish fighting for freedom than to live as a slave? What if freedom’s greatest hour of danger is now?


What if?



Got militia?

Sadly the Judge and Jefferson are both right. The time is approaching unless the government can reign itself in.....

Cocked, locked and ready to rock!

Hammerhead Out!

What if...
What if we don't act? More and more of us are knowledgable of what is going on (in reality, what is going down!) Are more and more of us frustrated that others cannot fathom just what it is our government is doing? To borrow a line or two from William Fraser: "Self-education without action merely breeds frustration. As the saying goes, no one should want to be the best informed inmate of a concentration camp."
I sometimes feel that our 'What-if" days are numbered and that more and more of us will be 'I-told-you-so' inmates.

From Jeff Snyder:

"In that fruitful land, the state took about 50 percent of everything the people earned through numerous forms of taxation, up from about 25 percent only a generation earlier. However, this boastful people, who believed themselves to be the freest on earth, retained the right to keep and bear arms. Tens of millions of them possessed firearms just in case their government became tyrannical and enslaved them."

The proper question is not "what IF" - but "what NOW?!"

God help us - and GOD SAVE OUR REPUBLIC~!

I believe Patrick Henry said it best in his speech before the house of Burgess "It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

Patrick Henry - March 23, 1775
