Once again, JJ Johnson hits the target dead center. A MUST READ.

It's been bothering me for a long time, and perhaps now is the best time to get it out on the table. It's this tired, worn-out label of Anti-Government. We're all sick of being labeled that from the left. But I'm even more sick of watching people trip over themselves trying to defend a charge that doesn't even exist.

Anti-Government is the term used against a pro-constitutional citizen when there is no other negative label they can think of. It's usually done by the State-Sponsored Media who work under the rule that "if we say something enough times, people will just believe it," even if it makes no sense whatsoever.

...

There is no law that says a person must be pro- or anti-government. These days, there are few reasons to be "pro-government." Think about how many people have tried in just the last 10 years to "work within the system" only to find themselves "de-virginized" the next day. This should be an important lesson for those who like to use that term. But more important, think about how and why so many people now meet the "anti-government" criteria.

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances there is a twilight when everything remains
seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all
must be most aware of change in the air - however slight -
lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
--Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas

You think he's good in print, you ought to hear him speak in person; He spoke at the Brass Roots rally in Lansing Michigan, and all 8-10,000 of us were dead quiet while he spoke.

I think that most people who are labeled as anti-government are misunderstood. The correct label should be anti-bad government.
 
I'm not anti-government.... just pro-constitution. Those who claim that I'm anti-government are infact anti-constitutionists.

The debate is not about guns,
but rather who has the ultimate power to rule,
the People or Government.
