I've lived in Canon City my whole life. It makes me sick to think of where this country is headed. The solutions are in God's Word.

The Real Issue

This is a 1:38 video where the border patrol agent did nothing especially harmful. The driver didn’t answer any questions but didn’t get his window smashed in. All’s well that ends well, right?

But here is the issue. Americans have the right to travel freely through this country without being harassed by the government. This guy is wearing a taxpayer-purchased uniform and is costing Americans at least $40,000/year with benefits–probably much more.

He is a drain on American productivity. He produces NOTHING of value. He is only a drag on the economy. That would be one thing if he were off in a cubicle in an office somewhere not bothering people. But he has the gall to think that it’s the right thing for him to do in life to harass people who are doing valuable things with their time.

People doing useful things for our economy have to slow down from 65 miles per hour to talk to this loser. That costs gas and time. Sometimes there are lines waiting to talk to these dorks. The whole thing is a travesty and a waste.

Christians who are employed by the border patrol should be encouraged and offered assistance to find a more productive line of work by their churches. Those who refuse to quit working for that agency should be placed under church discipline.

The videos where these agents beat and arrest someone are reprehensible, but what is just as wicked is when a law-abiding American has to pull over and talk to these idiots even if it’s only for just a few seconds.

Mini Tyrant Building Inspector

So, maybe the building inspectors across the country are friendly people with abundant common sense. That’s not the case in my experience in the two counties I’ve worked in. They are individuals on a major power trip with arbitrary and shifting standards who feel no need to do anything that actually makes sense.

Currently I’m trying to sell a house where the attached garage was converted into living space a long time ago–there is reason to believe it was 1972, but no one knows for sure. In any case, it was long before I bought the house, and Ray Charles could see that. The buyer’s appraiser said the square footage doesn’t match the county’s records. That is, when they finished the garage, they didn’t get a building permit.

So, now to sell the house to this guy, I have to jump though government hoops. I went to Caesar’s mini-tyranny office this morning and the government leeches there didn’t know what to do and I asked if maybe they could just write a letter saying there is no procedure for inspecting 40 year old work. They refused to make a decision and said call the main tyrant who would be in this afternoon.

I called him and this is an individual who’s probably never worked a real day’s work in his life. He told me He’s going to assume I did the work and he’s going to expect it to be up to today’s building code. I asked if all the drywall is going to have to be ripped off so he can see the wires and insulation. He said hopefully he can see enough just by opening the electrical boxes, but it’s possible the drywall will have to be removed.

Not only that, but I can’t get a permit as a homeowner, because I don’t live there. All the work is done, but I have to get someone who has run the tyranny gauntlet and has become a licensed contractor to get a permit.

I’ll tell you right now, there is zero chance that I’m letting a government agent on a power trip in that house. Nothing good will come from a government agent poking around my property. Ronald Reagan says it best:

The Bible makes no room for the government to enforce building codes. This could all be done privately. It is already done privately with Underwriter’s Lab inspecting a lot of the stuff we buy. But as it is the government has to give me a permit so I can sell to someone getting a government-backed loan and the government gets to tax every step along the way. We live in a wicked society that thinks that if there is enough government control, nothing bad will ever happen again.

Those who give up their freedom to gain security are worthy of neither.

Abolish The Police, Police Abuse

One Bad Cop?

So there’s one bad cop in this video. There’s a bad apple in every bunch, right? But watch all the good cops stand up to him and protect an innocent citizen from his abuse, and make right what the one guy wronged.

Another One-In-A-Million

People tell me that it’s only a one-in-a-million thing to be abused by police. If there are 300 million Americans, that means that only about 300 stories of abuse would have occurred. I wouldn’t be surprised if I have 300 posted on this blog. And probably only at best are one in 10 videotaped.

So here’s another one-in-a-million guy who was simply hanging out on the sidewalk and got arrested.

Why Keep Posting Bad News?

I had a conversation with someone, and I told them that I tell my children not to talk to the police. She was a bit taken aback by that. A lot of people still look at police as beneficial to society.

I told her that CPS and police can go to school to talk to your kids without your knowledge (another reason to homeschool your kids). I mentioned that one girl has been held hostage at a hospital for months.

She told me the odds of government abusing people like that are similar odds to winning the lottery.

That’s why I need to keep posting stories and videos of police abusing people. It’s not a rare thing for the police to trample people’s rights. Jeff Gray has had his rights abused dozens of times, and he has it all on video. Personally, I came within moments of being arrested for exercising my First Amendment right to free speech on a public sidewalk once, and have been harassed to varying degrees several times. Maybe I should play the lottery.

Try searching Youtube and see if police abuses are rare. Some of my favorite search terms are:

police shoot unarmed

police wheelchair

police elderly

Just with those searches you’ll have to spend several hours searching through egregious instances of police abuse. Sometimes, the cops are disciplined, sometimes they’re fired. Rarely are they prosecuted and jailed; the district attorney and the police are on the same team.

So, I will keep posting about government agents abusing people, because it can happen to anyone. It has happened to me. And only because Americans are so ignorant of our rights do we not realize that every checkpoint is an affront to liberty. Every traffic ticket we receive where there is no victim is an un-biblical affront to liberty. We’re all victims of police abuse, it’s just that most of us haven’t thought about it.

The Border Patrol Is Evil

These border patrol agents are communists. I can’t believe they think they can treat people like this or that it even crossed their minds.

The founding fathers went to war for a fraction of what we endure and no one seems to care.

What is it going to take to wake people up?

The whole story is that there was a trace of marijuana odor–enough to cause the dog to alert–and the driver was in handcuffs for an hour and released without charges.

The issue is that Americans can’t even drive down the road without being harassed by dirtbags on a power trip.

The United Police States of America

The founding fathers of this country declared independence because of unjust taxes, and being forced to quarter British troops, among other reasons. The battle of Lexington and Concord took place because the British were trying to seize weapons.

I believe the colonists had the right to defend themselves. The taxes were unjust (because there is an absolute moral standard for justice), and they were right to fight for justice.

Watch this and tell me this is not much worse than what the colonists were facing in the 1770s.
