Amash denounces armed protests in Michigan

[Sammy]

He's my congressman and I smelled a rat with him a long time ago with his pandering to progressives at town halls. That he would say we should "work with" the governor is unbelievable. She's a raging commie who, while shutting down all health care in our state said that abortions had to continue because they're "life sustaining". She rules by executive order. The woman needs to be in prison and he wants to work with her.

Justin Amash doesn't get it. The Progressive left is our enemy & they are destroying our country since the 60s.
He drives me crazy when is trying to pander to them.

There is no right/left here- just a bunch of neo-whatevers telling you what you want to hear. It's all a ruse to keep us fighting each other instead of looking at the man behind the curtain.

Libertarianism is a right wing ideology. The Problem is that the left (Neoconservatives) control the republican Party we just need to take over the Republican Party & expel them.

No, it isn't a right wing ideology in the sense of what constitutes today's "right wing". Classic conservatism, or going even further back to Jefferson's time, classic liberalism perhaps, but not what passes for "right wing" ideology today = Israel and wars and bible, but I repeat myself.

I'm not intimidated by them, until the time comes when I have to be stopped at a "health checkpoint" in order to show them an "immunity card" that I refuse to carry along. They'll be the ones brandishing guns to enforce an unethical edict of the State. And that's the point. Guns are deterrents, and we all have every right to carry them in whatever way we deem appropriate.

I have no intention of carrying any papers or getting any immunization.

Of course you have the right to carry any gun any way you choose. But is that always the smart choice?

Always? No.

Now? Absolutely. In fact, if we hope to avoid the totalitarian nightmare TPTB have planned for us, I'd say it's absolutely necessary.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Some of y'all should just admit that you're not libertarians, just run-of-the-mill Republicans. Libertarians are -not- a subset of the GOP, even though many held their noses and worked through the GOP as part of Dr. Paul's campaigns. We experienced how the GOP "welcomed" us by beating up elderly members, stealing vote ballots, shutting down state conventions when we were winning, driving around buses full of delegates for hours so they couldn't participate in the RNC, etc. Being so obsessed with bashing progressives, instead of trying to find common ground and offering positions that may appeal to them, just means you watch too much Fox News, read too much Breitbart and should just admit to being generic Republicans instead of libertarians.

Never said I was a Libertarian.

And we already tried that and got stabbed in the back.

Progressives are a plague, the politics of the new Bolsheviks and Jacobins are death.

The only response to them is utter rejection and opposition...fuck them...I have no common ground with these people.

And how do you intend to avoid that?

Wouldn't it be more desirable to make it clear you will resist now, loud and clear, in a public display of armed defiance, surrounded by fellow patriots, than shooting it out with a SWAT team alone in your underdrawers at oh-dark-thirty in your living room?

Mistake number 1. Unless you support the statist quo.

Learn it, live it, and pass it on.

No quite yet, I still have hope this whole virus nonsense will blow over soon as more people are pushing back against it.

Oh I'm too smart to get swatted. I'm always one step ahead and never let the government know what I am up to.

Don't worry if it gets bad enough, I am firmly one of the 3%. I just don't make a show of it.

That made a lot more sense 12 years ago when most Republicans were pro-war and pro-drug war.

Now Republicans are more anti-war, the left mostly doesn't care about war, the left supports the war on drugs and Republicans are largely for legalization of herb.

So the political climate has shifted drastically, and now the left is the clear, true enemy of liberty.

Police are an part of a free society. In fact, protecting rights with law enforcement and the military is the whole reason for government existing.

Nope..
Police (Control Enforcers) are an Authoritarian Construct..

ARE COPS CONSTITUTIONAL?
https://www.constitution.org/lrev/roots/cops.htm

The Framers contemplated law enforcement as the duty of mostly private citizens, along with a few constables and sheriffs who could be called upon when necessary. This article marshals extensive historical and legal evidence to show that modern policing is in many ways inconsistent with the original intent of America's founding documents. The author argues that the growth of modern policing has substantially empowered the state in a way the Framers would regard as abhorrent to their foremost principles.

I am not a constitutionalist. And some random guy on the internet bloviating means nothing to me. I Googled Roger Roots and his credentials are graduating from a law school that is barely accredited. https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/roger-williams-university-03180

An opinion which does carry weight is Ayn Rand's. Here is what she said about the police.

A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man’s self-defense

The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals;

I always point out how Trump and the GOP are LOADED with Bolsheviks and Jacobins (more appropriately labeled Jesuit cryptos posing as whatever gets the agenda done) but you always glide right past that proven fact. BOTH PARTIES are loaded with them and are playing a false duality game of 2 wings of the same bird, particularly at the talking-head level.

A candidate that appears to not be beholden to that game emerges, who may be playing a real 5D chess game, yet we're right back to "those Dem Bolsheviks" statements. You do realize that talking heads on the tv aren't necessarily representative of all people, right? I swear, the collectivism that oozes from some of the comments on RPF these days makes me question who the real collectivists are. It's almost like you've never actually tried to find common ground but are instead content to take media accounts of your "opposition" at face value and never try.

Apparently,, just another petty Authoritarian..

 

[fcreature]

Wait, people here still care about this clown?

We learned Amash's true loyalties when he threw his support in the shredding of the Constitution, and more importantly our god given natural rights, in an effort to destroy a politician he simply didn't like.
