With federal enforcement numbers dropping by as much as 90% in the last 6 years, it should be obvious that the feds have a resource problem. When enough people and enough states refuse to comply – there’s not much the feds can do to force their so-called laws, regulations, and mandates down our throats.

Calling these United States the “land of the free” is ignorant of what actually qualifies as a “free people” – at best. Or a dangerous state of denial that will only make things far worse in the long run. Wisdom and insight from Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Dickinson, Mercy Otis Warren, Thomas Paine – and Lysander Spooner.

Centralization of power, standing armies, an elected king – would lead to a mighty empire, rather than a land of liberty. That’s what Patrick Henry warned about in his 2nd speech during the Virginia Ratifying Convention – June 5, 1788.
