Absolutely superb! You can go and listen to Scott Ott's interview with him here. Unlike Scott, I agree with Beck and, although I'd have to sort out a lot of personal commitments first, I'd be ready to go to jail with him in defiance of any government and to stand up for the idea of freedom.
Update: Your welcome, yes and I hope so too, but it'll take a lot more than just me.

Nothing against Scott, but he was playing far, far out of his league.
ReplyDeleteEvery police-state action you see is a direct result of the Constitution. The Constitution includes a provision for the amount of water your toilet can be flushed with and what type of light bulbs you can use and even what type of plant you can grow in your closet. These types of tyrannical actions were foreseen by the same generation of men whom signed this meaningless* piece of paper. Yet 200+ years later this country is still throwing generations believing this piece of paper will save them from their bleak and again foreseeable futures.
*It only took 'meaning' when men used violence to ensnare the free upon it.
I am right behind you behind Billy. He is uncompromising in a compromised world and puts my weak life to shame. He himself is not going to lead a revolution but he is a revolutionary for all the best that has been lost.

ReplyDeleteI agree with the gist of that, in Beck's sense of the Constitution being a counter-revolutionary act, but I would suggest to you that America's current plight is actually a *very indirect* consequence of the establishment of federalist principles. But yes, one end of a very long consequential chain.
Blogdog: thank you.
"The Constitution includes a provision for the amount of water your toilet can be flushed with and what type of light bulbs you can use and even what type of plant you can grow in your closet."
ReplyDeleteNo it does not. Federal Over-reach, a tainted Judiciary and complacent Citizens provided those and other outrages.
We gave it up long ago.
ReplyDeleteJust playing out the string.
Beck gets it.
The constitution either authorized those abuses and overreaches, or has proven powerless to prevent them. Six of one; half-dozen of the other, IMO.

ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as a self-enforcing document, political or otherwise.

"...Federal Over-reach, a tainted Judiciary and complacent Citizens provided those and other outrages."
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. This point is deserving of all the light it ever gets.
"There is no such thing as a self-enforcing document..."
Of course not, but was there anything essential to the continuing defence of American liberty in the provisions for the Federal Government that the people in those thirteen colonies could not have seen to themselves through voluntary agreements?
