A guy on Facebook posted this:

The position he takes is that he’s protecting our rights. That is one of the public relations talking points of government, but it doesn’t really work. If they’re really concerned about our rights, why do they force us to pay them? Why do they violate my right to private property in order to protect my rights?

The whole system is fundamentally flawed. They’ve built this enormous edifice of government and law enforcement on weak and shifting, self-contradictory sand (to borrow an analogy from Christ).

I’d much rather they didn’t exist, and I’ll protect my God-given rights myself, or by paying someone voluntarily, if it becomes necessary. It makes no sense that the government coerces me to protect me from coercion. They need to find a new way. Might I suggest the biblical way? Anything else will lead to these self-contradictions.

It’s hard to respect the heart of those who rob me blind so they can pretend to be my defender.
