The Federal Government is NOT the United States
Despite being an absolute desecration of the founder’s concept of ‘United States’, the ‘Omnipotent Centralized State’ has become zeitgeist through our words, our patriotic displays and our teachings.
Why a Tenth Amendment?
Most of the states demanded a constitutional amendment explicitly limiting the federal government to those enumerated in the Constitution. That amendment became the Tenth.
How to Stop the Federal Government
If American citizens are to resist the rush to Obammunism they must first give up on the fantasy that the Republican Party is anything but another cabal of crooks, conmen and clowns, just like the Democratic Party. The only realistic route to freedom, including a restoration of genuine free enterprise, is through the devolution of power away from Washington, D.C. via peaceful secession and nullification, the original American ideals.
Guns, Gold, Secession
The only way to get this oppressive tyrant – known as the federal government – off our back is to break away from it and start anew.
Fascist Temptations
I know the temptation to seek help from the all-powerful federal government, but as citizens in a supposedly free society, we must reject these tactics. Although we may achieve success via these means, such success will only be temporary.
Dear Federal Government: Drop dead.
Dear Federal Government,
Drop dead.
Excuse us. Some may consider such bluntness to be indecorous, but why beat around the bush? In any case, we’ve been around this bush (Bush?) too many times to count already. It’s time to let you know what we really think of you, what we say behind your back, what we whisper to each other when you leave the room.
National vs Local Government
by Clay Barham If you reflect back on how the institutions of governance grew in America, from 1620 to the present, you will see that National Government grew into its present level without much public support. The settlements starting in New England, as well as Jamestown, were small and managed more from a town hall [...]
Cut Government Down to Size!
by Clay Barham Easier said, but it can be done. It starts with the new CEO of the Federal Government, the President, telling all those who work for the Executive Branch there will be no more hiring, except for the military. That means when people die or retire, they will not be replaced by anyone [...]
Limiting Government: A Reorganization
by Clay Barham It is a project long overdue. We know how America runs best, when it worked best and what levels of government are most appropriate. We just need to back up and pare down. I do not know anyone who thinks the Post Office mentality operates any organization better than free people do. [...]
A Rebellion Brewing in Oklahoma
by Walter E. Williams One of the unappreciated casualties of the War of 1861, erroneously called a Civil War, was its contribution to the erosion of constitutional guarantees of state sovereignty. It settled the issue of secession, making it possible for the federal government to increasingly run roughshod over Ninth and 10th Amendment guarantees. A [...]
Limits vs Empowers
by David Smith In response to “The Constitution and the Right to Privacy” The only point that I would add is that there exists a fundamental difference between the Federal Government, which these amendments limits, and the State Governments, which the 10th Amendment empowers. Actually, ‘empowers’ is not the right term because power not delegated [...]
The Longest and Most Costly War in American History
If you are concerned at all about liberty, the economy, the Constitution and the power of the Federal Government – you cannot ignore our longest and most costly war – the War on Drugs. It’s now 35 years after Dick Nixon started this “war” -Â and we now have over 1 million – yes, 1 [...]
Thoughts on Constitution Day: Understanding Positive Grant and Limited Government
Today is a day that’s not celebrated like many other “holidays” in American society. You see, September 17th is Constitution Day – a day that appears to be nearly forgotten in America. Sadly, over the years, people have stopped paying attention to the Constitution. It’s rare to hear people talking about the rules for government [...]
The Statist and the Straw Man: Answering Attacks on Tenthers
The sovereignty movement is feared and ridiculed for its independence by weak minded men who consider themselves intelligent, but are really nothing more than altar boys for the State.
