I expect anyone who did would receive a “visit” from the EPA’s SWAT team.
These same “Farmers”, “Ranchers” fathers or grandfathers were only too eager to jump in line for the federal price support handouts years ago. Now they don’t like the government snooping around? Cry me a river there Lukey. BTW I don’t like the idea of flying monkey snoopers either and have sighted in at 1000 feet just in case.
The regulators have become yet a fourth branch of government, one that has no check and no balance from the others. They rule essentially by decree and when they come after you no bill of rights limits their power.
They have to be reined in. If you can argue that we need regulators I think it is abundantly clear that we need a bill of rights to limit their power. They can destroy your business with the flick of the wrist, they can bankrupt you at will, they can load you up with paperwork and prosecute you when you fail to keep it up, and there seems to be nothing you can do about it.
Now they are looking for evidence that cows poop in streams, and they are going to try and criminalize it.
I think the sheeple are going to realize real soon why the Food Stamp President and his corrupt administration order an extra 300 or so of the drones for use by other than the military. Combine that with all of the departments initiating their own SWAT and para-military organizations and you can foretell the future. Dept of Education SWAT team, Dept of Agriculture SWAT team, EPA SWAT team, etc.
We are now living in a completely authoritarian society, and well on our way to totalitarian.
The issue is the drones, which are basically run by the military. The Air Force is “loaning” their pilots and drones to the EPA. Because of the advanced high technology (FLIR, etc) of the drones and the ease in which they can be armed, people are naturally unhappy.
How about setting up arrays of mirrors to reflect the sun and prevent their proper observation?
Shoot one down.
Just one of many reasons this Iowan put away the Stars & Stripes this season in favor of the Gadsden flag.
Then, as we were reading the Declaration of Independence yesterday, one grievance struck me as being perhaps the most applicable today:
The Executive Branch (our king) routinely circumvents the Constitution by not only appointing "czars" (bypassing Senate confirmation) thereby erecting new cabinet-level offices, but also endowing its agencies with regulatory authority which rightly belongs to the Legislative Branch (e.g. the EPA and its swarms of officers to harass our people).
