Seems pretty clear that “US Law” is about creation of impediments against individuals and obstacles to business (ref David’s post) …
Yet the general government acts in violation of the US Law:
“WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The Treasury Department auctioned $56 billion in new debt Tuesday and Wednesday, enough to take the U.S. over its federal debt ceiling when the three- and 10-year notes settle on Monday.” … Source
So when do we say “enough” ? We are surrounded and intimidated, pressed for surrender by Washington DC, much as the US Army was surrounded and threatened in the town of Bastogne during WWII.
… McAuliffe realized that some sort of reply was in order. He pondered for a few minutes and then told the staff, “Well I don’t know what to tell them.” He then asked the staff what they thought, and I spoke up, saying, “That first remark of yours would be hard to beat.” McAuliffe said, “What do you mean?” I answered, “Sir, you said ‘Nuts’.” All members of the staff enthusiastically agreed, and McAuliffe decided to send that one word, “Nuts!” back to the Germans. McAuliffe then wrote down: “To the German Commander, “Nuts!”

I keep looking for examples of courage and resistance while I search my soul for reasons to respect my government.
While I haven’t found any reasons to respect government in recent years, I have found one steadfast example of courage and resistance.
Thank you, David DeGerolamo … I hope more of us RESIST
I hope more of us RESIST also but it appears easier to cower in fear than to stand up for principles. This will change in the future once more people draw the line in the sand.
