The constitution cannot protect you from government. People like Obama will just claim it non legit. Or they will use it for their own purpose. The "Promote the general welfare" clause can be sickly twisted in anyway. I can claim that I should become dictator of the US on the constitutions authority that I am providing for the general welfare.

Electing "nice" people cant help you either. It has never worked. As the line goes:
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The bottom line is nothing can protect you from the government. You rely on the sheer promise that the government will keep you safe. The funny thing is: the government isn't very good at keeping promises.

Good luck with your government. cheers
 
So what? Try to help us make a better government next time, or go kill yourself.

If you think anarchy is the answer, just wait until some guys with guns get together and decide to take over. Then we'll see how well anarchy protects you.

Anarchy wont protect people. Protection agencies will.

Oh wait, some guys have already taken over and put a gun to my head...It's the government!

Of course not. Its the people that stand up in the defense of the paper that will defend your liberty.

Government can't protect you, it can only enslave you. The government that does not govern, governs best.

Check out the DRO model for anarcho-capitalism. It's not as wild as you think
