There Is No Political Solution

I would argue that the ultimate inversion has already occurred. This means the “election cycle” is merely bread and circuses: an illusion of freedom for the masses who continue to believe.

But don’t we still have control over our local elections? And if we elect constitutional Sheriffs in most Counties, we could recover.

It is a DREADFUL mistake for Americans to place ALL their hopes on the presidential election. Particularly when all of the candidates for the nomination have been vetted by the other side. Except perhaps for Trump. But he doesn’t seem to have a clue about what our Constitution says.

I expect then it begs the question….

Why NOT vote?

After all the minor effort it takes these days to vote would seem to be of some benefit if for no other reason than to show these tyrants we are actually paying attention. Keep in mind, as I have sated before, one does not have to vote for any candidate who is unwilling to stand up for liberty. If no suitable candidate is listed then leave that portion blank or better yet write in a candidate.

Lastly, making the small effort to vote does not stop anyone from taking other actions they feel are prudent.

Right, voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. What I’m suggesting is that we recruit & support candidates for local office and for our State legislatures who are not evil at all!

David I can find no disagreement, in my post, with your position on voting for evil. Please refer to this quote from my post…

” If no suitable candidate is listed then leave that portion blank or better yet write in a candidate.”

I did not vote for McLame, Robme, nor several other candidates in the last few elections and there is a strong possibility there will be more write-ins on my ballot than votes for those listed.

That being said there were a couple who deserved my support and got it. To be honest many will not be afforded my support next year but I still plan on casting a ballot.

So what happens when one stands up and they come to arrest him for not following an illegal act from the almighty government? Is there any illusion that the person would be removed from that position to make an example of what happens when an ant stands up to a grasshopper?

Two Points:

1.The Colonials “resisted with manly firmness” the King’s invasions on the rights of the People (Declaration of Indep, 7th para). We are cowards today. Americans must man-up! My constant call is: WHERE are the manly men?

2. Nullification isn’t as scary as the statists have intimidated Americans into believing.

For one thing: The feds have been bribing the States to collaborate with the fed usurpations -- States get federal grant money for signing on to unconstitutional fed programs. eg., I’m told Tennessee got 1/2 a billion dollars for signing on to common core… hundreds of unconstitutional programs States sign up for to get the fed grant money.

The question is whether the American People will stop electing state legislators who sell them out to the feds for fed grant money. They’ve been sucking up every fed $ they can get….

The feds are not the bad guys in this…..

1. Yes and secession is also mentioned as a right in the Declaration of Independence. We see how that was met in the 1860’s when manly men stood up.

2. What happens when the federal government comes to enforce the criminal acts that they pass as laws? What happens when they send in agitators to stir up trouble for that state or local government?

The reason I ask is because, it is not that easy for a sheriff to say no. Not only is he going to feel it from the state level but also the federal level. The powers to be are just going to say, your right, we will correct our ways and leave you be. So what happens when a man stands up and feels the pressure? It did not happen with England or the US government in the 1860’s.

Neither would I offer a criticism of those liberty minded individuals who choose to refrain.

If and where possible I would hope that those who choose not to fill out a ballot would offer their thoughts on how to address our dire situation. It is not that others are excluded but, speaking for myself, it makes me especially curious regarding those who refrain from voting at all.

My dear Friend,

But we can elect County Sheriffs who will organize huge Posses to defend us.
And we can elect State legislators who will say “NO!” to federal funds with their strings and who will refuse to submit to unconstitutional federal dictates.

I’m working on this issue -- get it done as soon as I can.
