Help erect a giant billboard to inform the American people before they enter the illegal checkpoint. click here — http://www.donate2camerafraud.com/

We did our job…now please help and spread this video.

The [u]nited States is a Republic and only democracy loving fools allow their rights to be violated by government.

This video is NOT anti-cop…it’s pro-peace officer.

One of the Border Patrol agents actually said on camera the checkpoint is a joke.

This is NOT about the border, mexicans, illegals or terrorist but more about control.

Meanwhile the actual boder is left wide open and this checkpoint which is known by everyone is somehow going to stop the flow of whatever?? LMAO

Furthermore, how easy would it be for a Cartel to pay off one of these douche bags. Not hard at all.

On memorial day I and the rest of The Phoenix Revolution took a road trip to honor the people that have supposebly died so we would NOT have to go throught checkpoints.

They claimed that SS officers in Nazi Germany were just doing there job as well when they gased and murdered innocent people.

If their job is to violate your God given and Constitutional rights then that is a job they should NOT be doing….Furthermore they cannot plead ignorance. These gestapo are grown adults not children.

Here is the video of our friend and hero Pastor Steve Anderson who was beat and tazed by DPS and Border Patrol for standing up against treasonous NAZI checkpoints.

Do something and pass this video along to others..This is part 3 of 4.

NEWSFLASH the border is 60 miles south and we were on a highway that runs east-west?

Why don’t they do their job at the actual border instead of unconstitutionaly harrasing, assaulting and tazing thousands of Americans on a daily basis.

Special thanks to Renaa, Chuck G, and High Tower (FireZues).

Thank you to all my viewers and donations without it this is not possible!

One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
Martin Luther King, Jr

Part 1, Part 2

I like what these guys are doing generally… but again… there are no “illegals” nor “Constitutional rights.” A person can not (should not) be illegal merely their actions and the US Constitution is a negative rights document. It does not define or give rights.

Memorial Day, when we pretend that we live in a free country because of all the people who were killed in the government’s senseless wars

bile — Mon, 25 May 2009 17:55:26 +0000

The title is from Harry Browne’s “Pay No Attention to This Day.”

Since it’s Memorial Day may I recommend reading Smedley Butler’s War is a Racket (HTML; text).

Pay No Attention to This Day by Harry Browne

bile — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:11:02 +0000

I figure while we may appreciate the ideas behind the Constitution we do need to put the celebration in perspective.

http://www.harrybrowne.org/…

This day isn’t important.

There are far more significant days in the year:

Labor Day, when we pretend to care about other people’s jobs while frolicking at the beach.
Election Day, when we pretend we’re making a difference by voting.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Susan B. Anthony Day, when we pretend to be politically correct.
Memorial Day, when we pretend that we live in a free country because of all the people who were killed in the government’s senseless wars.
Flag Day, when we pretend the government is America.
Veterans Day (formerly Armistice Day, when we pretended that World War I made the world safe for democracy).
National Teachers Day, when we pretend our children are getting an education.
Earth Day, when we pretend that making the government more powerful will make the environment cleaner.
United Nations Day, when we pretend to believe all those inane statements about world peace.

Today doesn’t seem to come anywhere near those days in importance.

You see, today is supposed to be Constitution Day. And no one really cares about the Constitution anymore.

What It Was

The Constitution was supposed to spell out what government can do and what it can’t do. The government’s few legal functions are listed in Article 1, Section 8. It was a revolutionary document, in that no government in history had ever had its duties and restrictions so carefully defined.

Despite frequent violations of the Constitution by the government, the document did its job reasonably well for the first hundred years – making America the freest country in history.

As late as 1887, when Congress passed a bill providing federal relief to drought-stricken Texas farmers, Grover Cleveland vetoed it, saying, “I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution.”

But that was about the last gasp for limited, Constitutional government. Because the Constitution wasn’t self-enforcing, it depended on the good intentions of politicians – something Thomas Jefferson specifically warned against in 1798 when he said, “In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

Michael Cloud put it more succinctly in recent years: “The problem isn’t the abuse of power, it’s the power to abuse.” So long as the politicians have the power, they’ll abuse it. And the Constitution was intended to prevent the politicians from getting the power to abuse.

The Transformation

But by the end of the 1800s, too many Americans had lost their fear of government and politicians. The introduction of government schools had made it almost certain that most children would never learn the importance of binding down government with the chains of the Constitution.

And so government was transformed in the public mind from a necessary-but-dangerous evil into “the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else,” as Frédéric Bastiat described it.

More and more, the Constitution became a political toy, to be tossed about, invoked, ignored, or misrepresented – whatever suited a given politician’s agenda at any given moment.

The income tax amendment in 1913 hammered the final nail into the coffin of limited, constitutional government. Now the politicians had not only the authority, but also the unlimited revenue, to do whatever they wanted. It seems very, very unlikely, for example, that Americans would have been dragged into World War I if the government hadn’t had the unlimited revenue to finance it.

Even the Bill of Rights – which eliminates all ambiguity by spelling out specific things the government may not do – was relegated to second place behind the needs of politicians. By the first World War, the Supreme Court had decided that the words “Congress shall make no law . . . ” don’t really mean that “Congress shall make no law . . . ” They mean only that the government must have a “compelling interest” in doing something. Not surprisingly, the government employees on the Court almost always decide that the government does have a compelling interest.

Where Do We Go from Here?

Those conservatives who still care about the Constitution say that it should be taught in the schools. As though government employees will emphasize the original purpose of the Constitution in restraining government. Instead, they’ll give snap quizes on such weighty questions as “How many years in a Senator’s term?” or “Who appoints the Supreme Court justices?”

If the American people are to learn the importance of limited, Constitutional government, we have to teach them ourselves.

But people aren’t interested in academic lectures on constitutional government. They’re far more interested in their own lives – and rightly so.

That’s why repealing the federal income tax is our best tool. We can offer them the reward of never paying income tax again in exchange for giving up any unconstitutional federal programs.

The next time you want someone to understand the importance of the Constitution, try approaching him this way . . .

If we repeal the federal income tax and yours is an average American family, you’ll have at least $10,000 a year more to spend or invest. What will you do with that money?

Will you put your children in a private school, where they can get whatever kind of education you want for them?
Will you help your favorite cause or charity in a way you’ve never been able to do before?
Will you start that business you’ve always wanted, plan a better retirement, send your children to college?

All you have to do in return is to restrict the government to the Constitution – giving up whatever pittance unconstitutional government provides to you personally.

If you try this, you may be surprised to find that the Constitution isn’t such a hard sell after all.

And maybe someday Constitution Day will mean something again.

Libertarian National Committee Passes Pro Ron Paul Resolution

bile — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 04:08:12 +0000

http://www.lewrockwell.com/…

In a move most unusual for this body, the Libertarian National Committee just adopted a resolution encouraging Ron Paul to seek the Libertarian Party presidential nomination. The LNC is meeting in Charleston, SC this weekend.

The resolution recognized Paul’s standing and history with the Libertarian Party. It also recognized a renewed passion that Paul has ignited across America.

From the resolution:

In the event that Republican primary voters select a candidate other than Congressman Paul in February of 2008, the Libertarian National Committee invites Congressman Ron Paul to seek the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party to be decided in Denver, Colorado during the Memorial Day weekend of 2008.

The motion was raised by former Congressman Bob Barr and approved unanimously by the board.

In a related motion, the Libertarian Party voted to authorize the use of their Ballot Base database application in support of the Ron Paul campaign in New Hampshire. This motion passed unanimously, as well. The vote also allows Libertarian Party presidential candidates to utilize Ballot Base in states which have a Libertarian Party primary.

This isn’t entirely surprising given the overwhelming support for Dr. Paul among the Libertarian Party but it’s a very interesting situation. My guess is the Paul campaign is cringing right now about it. This will most likely only be used as ammunition against him by others in the race.
