>I consider myself a defender of individual rights, I'm against interference by the federal government.

>I doubt either side will change course. It is a confusing position to stand for what I believe the constitution allows, and against the government that refuses to protect these rights, even taking steps to remove our rights.

If you expand your thinking, this is exactly why the Constitution is such a beautiful thing. There are no people, there is no government. There are only three branches, with empty seats. We elect people into and out of those seats. We can, and we have had to drain the swamp before. But it is not ever necessary to destroy those empty chairs. You just get rid of the evil people who sit in them.

So, that, is why we defend the Constitution, and not the government people so to speak. That is why NO MAN is above that beautiful law that creates the very chair of the presidency, and all others.

Without the Constitution, we are patriots to nothing, not one single chair exists. WITH the Constitution, we have the right to overturn the swamp rats that have taken up residence, as patriots must do.

The citizen owes allegiance to no person, president, legislator, justice of the Supreme Court, or otherwise. The Citizen is free to love his fellow citizen, and the Constitution that creates the nation.

Clean up is pretty obviously in order. Feel good Patriot.
