Tyranny comes in many forms.

Seizing bees with state-sponsored violence.

SWIFT said...: Why would anyone want to live in Illinois? This, coming on the heels of the Illinois farmer persecuted for selling raw milk to club members. (A jury acquitted him on 3 of 4 charges.) The Departments of Agriculture, both Federal and State, are acting just like the jack-booted thugs of the ATF. SWAT teams, confiscation without due process, withholding evidence, fabricating evidence, and the usual perjury. Is this still America?; May 25, 2013 at 2:20 PM

As the article opines and asks, the fundamental genesis is the usurped power over two party contracts. The Founders did not hand over power to regulate commerce among the people of the several states. SCOTUS basically amended the Constitution through the judiciary on that front - an unconstitutional act in and of itself lets remember now, that even the heights judicial review has been taken to is in violation of the Declararion itself. For the COURT is NOT where givernment authority resides. That POWER rests with the PEOPLE via CONSENT.

We never CONSENTED to every bit of commerce and everything possibly affected by it (or lack of it) being a function of government - for to do so eliminates the vast majority if the rest of the protections the checks and balances that the Constitution was to provide. How can the right to keep and bear arms remain unmolested when government claims 100 percent authority over every SALE and PURCHASE? The reality is that we have no rights whatsoever in the eyes of today's government. Via the bastardization of the so called commerce clause, the Republic itself was destroyed.

Tyranny is already upon us and has been our entire lives. So open has it become that one need only look at Illinois to see it clearly. This example, the one you offer and look even to the NRA going NEUTRAL on legislation regarding usurpation of a right long denied here (the right to carry). Several hundred bucks in poll taxes, preconditions galore, a long list if banned "places" etc etc and the "advocacy leadership" goes NEUTRAL??? They are ALL bought and paid for brother, and until PEOPLE stand up to both government AND the "advocacy" groups, our "rights" will continue to be denied us. Note that the Chicago Way now openly dominates the federal level and is championed by half this country's people. Note also that in McDonald we had a CHANCE to save the Republic but that the NRA jumped in at the last minute to stomp P or I in order to stop dead that revival. Many want to avoid admitting it, but the NRA is HARMING this nations people and IMHO doing so on purpose. At this point, folks would be wise to buckle down and prepare for the inevitable watering of the tree of liberty. Think about it - there isn't one right left that government doesn't just plainly ignore. Interestingly it is reporters now being assaulted openly - but it ain't like we didn't warn them.......; May 25, 2013 at 6:02 PM

We have become a nation of fools and fearful idiots..
We dont deserve our Liberty.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
