What’s the Point Anymore?

The Democrats have recently sold us out – twice in a week – again. They approved at $164 billion spending bill to continue the war they are so against (funny…they could end the war tomorrow by no longer appropriating any money for it but they wont – meaning they actually approve of the war in Iraq) and the House has voted on an amendment to the FISA bill of 1978 that will give the President even more powers to spy on Americans. HR 6304 eviscerates the Fourth amendment to the United States Constitution by allowing the President to engage further in warrantless wiretaps for up to seven days before an actual warrant is sought (completely contrary to what the Constitution requires), gives the President more power to spy on US citizens international communications even if that person has no connections whatsoever to any foreign terrorist. It also provides immunity for all of the telecommunications companies that violated everyone’s privacy rights by participating in the Presidents illegal warrantless wiretapping program.

So what’s the point anymore? Why even bother acting like the US is governed by the Constitution? We need to face the facts – the noble experiment of the Founders of this country has failed miserably. Their attempt at constraining the governments hands with a written Constitution has been shown to be a terrible failure. The failure of the Constitution in limiting the power and reach of the government only further illustrates the abusive tyrannical nature of government. The only solution to your problems is not to limit government but to abolish it completely.

Limited government advocates must now recognize that “government” and “limited” is an oxymoron. There is no such thing as a “limited government” for all governments seek to grow and expand in power. Nor can you have a government that “protects your rights” because they only way the government can “protect your rights” is by first denying them to you in the first place. The coercive use of force must be the sole monopoly of the government in order that it might “protect your rights.” They must steal from you to fund themselves (taxation) and then use their vast means of violence to deny you access to market solutions to your problems.

So let’s stop kidding ourselves here folks. The Constitution is dead and gone and in its place we have the lumbering monster known as the federal government of the United States. A fascist dictatorship that must continue to destroy the dollar, violate our rights and steal as much money as it possibly can. The sad hard truth is that sooner or later the United States will fall. It will either be a violent fall that will usher in smaller states or it will be by means of the peaceful anarchist collapse of the State that will bring about peace, prosperity and freedom to all people.
