"We the people" created the government with the ratification of our Constitution. We are the employer and the elected officials are our employees. The Constitution is the rule book that was created to govern the government. The Constitution tells the elected officials what they can do and prohibits them from doing anything that is not specifically delegated to them.
We were to be the master and our government and the elected officials were to be our servants.The government derives its power from the consent of the governed and that power can be lawfully revoked whenever, "We the People" feel that the government has exceeded its Constitutional authority.
As a parent do you need to ask your children permission before you take action. We were born free and independent and we don't need the permission or consent of our government to exercise rights that we granted to us by our Creator.
If the government officials refuse to hear our complaints, we have the authority to alter or abolish the government. We have the power to hold government officials accountable for violating their oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
If you agree with me that the government has exceeded its lawful authority, the time has come for "We the People" to stand up and regain control. Individually we are weak, but collectively we are strong. The best way to repeal unjust laws is for the people to refuse to comply. I do not consent to tyranny and I will not ask permission from a crime syndicate to exercise my God given rights.

Because the US prints all the money they want/need it isn't possible to regain control by withholding taxes. Because the pigs refuse to enforce the laws on the political class, and the political class, in a quid pro quo, protects the pigs from the laws, the only reasonable way to regain control is through a proper application of the 2nd amendment. The aggressors set this standard and we are required to meet or exceed it if we ever hope to restore rule of law.

This is what has to be done... JUST SAY NO, WAKE UP AMERICA time is no longer on our side, If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.
When a Presidential candidate gets 98% of the vote, I will start worrying about the Hitler Germany comparisons, until then, I will focus on the problems that are unique to the United States of America or the federation of sovereign American states(nations).
I am curious Steve, what problems are "unique" in the USA, and don't compare to other times and/or places in history ?
Let me first state the similarities between the United States and other nations. Like other nations, the United States is populated by sinners who are in rebellion against God, because of this, various evils or calamities afflict our society which include big government-a judgment of God. Like other nations throughout history and in the present, individuals have been armed. Like other nations, the United States has tyrants that seek to disarm its armed citizens. Unlike other nations, the United States was founded upon an idea, that governments are instituted to defend an individuals right to life, liberty and property(pursuit of happiness) and when a government is no longer serving this purpose, the people have a right and a duty to alter or abolish such government and establish new guards for its future security and we have a Bill or Rights(specifically the 2nd Amendment) that empowers us to do exactly this. Not only will the tyrants not accomplish disarming Americans, but the harder they try the more evident our purpose as a nation will become, unlike other nations that did not come into existence for this purpose, so when their tyrants persuaded them to disarm themselves, they believed their lies, because they did not have a purpose for remaining armed, as the Scripture says: "Where there is no vision the people perish".
Thanks for the reply Steve but have you considered that our "rights" come from God and that God is the same always and no respecter of persons. So, it stands to reason that any "government" created that does not recognize these God given rights is NOT a legitimate government and not a government at all.
The "government" proclaiming that the sun is cold, water is dry, or that a man can marry a tree or another man, does not make any of these things true. Neither is it true when a government says that people can't defend themselves, talk about whatever they want to talk about, or that their individual bodies belong to the government.
I don't believe that because the USA was established openly on the power of the people's consent and having published the people's "rights" that it is any way unique to any other group of people and their political parasites as everyone has those rights as they can only possibly come from the Creator.
The dictates of a man's conscience with well reasoned understanding of God's truth make him free, not the government.
The USA disregards the Constitution anyway so what could possibly make the USA unique based on your premise in 2014?
This is a lawless society, arbitrary and capricious in almost every way as standard operating procedure. The police are the cause and the exclusive means for the manifestation and proliferation of the corruption of the political class. Without the power of death government is a suggestion.
I believe that the USA is unique in really one way, at least traditionally, and that is the heritage of the people remaining ever vigilant in their suspicion and maintaining accountability of the government. Sadly this has lapsed quite badly as of late.
I do believe that our rights come from God and I agree that we do live in a lawless society. My hope would be that many Americans would come to repentance, which would lead to positive changes.
Steve, If you look you'll see it was Hosea who said "My people perish for lack of knowledge."
Hosea 4 vs 6. People do not receive the right knowledge, by living to be entertained. Speaking of, I checked out the new 501c3 church in town, the preacher said that when men do not accompany their wives to church, they will lack the experience to deal with the adulteress. In the early church, people were excommunicated from the church and handed over to Satan for a season, to help them come to their senses and then received back into the church, now Satan is in the church, not the real church of course, just the churches that are incorporated into the state.
