Stossel special "Illegal Everything" on Fox News (tube added)

[Anti Federalist]

Only question I have is the one guy who had been selling lobster tails for thirteen years and the feds put him away for six years out of a more than eight year sentence ,for lobster being in bags and not boxes. What kind of prosecutor or judge would take that , and give that ? I would take that as a personal declaration of war on me by them and would have to continually retaliate until the end of time , just out of principle.

Feds have been handing down draconian sentences like that in the commercial fishing world for years now.

A small, unrepresented political minority that is easy to shove around, and also fiercely independent, so their will needed to be broken.

"You don't have to worry if you don't break the law"

You are a criminal, it's just at this time the government is allowing you to walk free.

That lobbyist deserves to be shipped off to Somalia.

That was a terrific special! Anyone running across this thread who hasn't seen it yet really should take the time to.

And, is it just me, or is Stossel becoming even *more* libertarian now that he knows he has to take up the slack at the network from the firing of The Judge also?

Stossel has always been solidly libertarian. I've never had a problem with any of his reports. He plays the devil's advocate when interviewing people he agrees with, but it's obvious those aren't his views

Six years would not break me , but it would be way more than enough to formulate all my plans .

John Stossel's Illegal Everything - Time To Take The Country Back

It is pretty sickening what corporations and government have done. This is along the same lines of Ron Paul's warnings. We need to push back NOW!

 

[BuddyRey]

This one deserves a bump!

This one deserves a bump!

Right on. I tivo'd it and just watched it; that was one of his better pieces (in my opinion.)

I love how that lady prosecutor straight up said that she would compromise those escort's freedom for a demonstrably incorrect ideal and the Bush guy outright lying.

Three Felonies a Day is the story of how citizens from all walks of life—doctors, accountants, businessmen, political activists, and others—have found themselves the targets of federal prosecutions, despite sensibly believing that they did nothing wrong, broke no laws, and harmed not a single person. From the perspective of both a legal practitioner who has represented the wrongfully-accused, and of a legal observer who has written about these trends for the past four decades, Three Felonies a Day brings home how individual liberty is threatened by zealous crusades from the Department of Justice. Even the most intelligent and informed citizen (including lawyers and judges, for that matter) cannot predict with any reasonable assurance whether a wide range of seemingly ordinary activities might be regarded by federal prosecutors as felonies.

With every new law or regulation a new government parasite is born. Sometimes multiple parasites; often whole litters called departments.

 

[Keith and stuff]

VA farmer Joel Salatin is on!

Yeah, that was great. He gave a 70 minute speech at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum on Saturday. He was very entertaining and informative.

 

[Danke]

So sad. People don't know how to fight this shit. These laws don't apply to people involved in the private sector.

 

[sidewalk_pounder]

We're all very fortunate that libertarian-minded John Stossel is on the job and giving favorable coverage to Ron Paul at every opportunity. One of his best recent videos is here: http://youtu.be/X1i2GyZB8Rs (Difference Between Streamlining the Military and Isolationism).

That was great.

Yeah, I saw it live, and BOTH of those self-righteous assholes had me barking at the TV in frustration... which is pretty much usually only reserved for the GOP debates, lol.

The LEAP guy was talking about dogs and kids getting killed and innocent people getting terrorized on accident, and the Czar rationalized it based on outright lies. And then that fucking prosecutor who wants to utilize the state to "save" the sex worker girls by LOCKING THEM UP IN CAGES? srs? fuck off (...literally, go get laid or something and get your statist dong out of everyone else's business... the only thing you want to "save" is your shitty ass job and perception of yourself and all your righteousness).

Really great show. Thanks for sharing.
