This is a great summation of where we are today with respect to the relationship of the citizen (now a subject) and the state. The people fear the government and we have tyranny. Consider these undeniable bombshell facts revealed over the last several years.
1. The regime used the IRS against its political enemies.
2. The NSA spies on everyone and NSA spokesman lied to congress about their activities.
3. The regime supported Al Queda in Syria.
4. DHS considers Christians, conservatives, and libertarians as high risk for terrorism.

No question about it. The regime has declared war on its domestic enemies. It is our moral duty to fight them at every step by denying them legitimacy, expressing our contempt and withdrawing consent.

If there is a way to bypass or ignore laws and to abuse government power (and there always is) you can be 100% certain that someone within the government is doing it.

What is unusual about this time in our history is that the lawbreaking and abuse of power is open and overt and starts with the president, his cabinet and his ‘Czars’.

Questioning the legitimacy of FedGov, and comparing Obama to Nixon? Not a bad start; I hope this continues and grows. Today’s FedGov is not a friend of constitutional America.

The IRS targeted innocent American citizens and the FBI winked and nodded to them.

Early stirrings of a Police State...

This article makes it sound like Congress is complicit, to a degree, also. Not surprised.
