More government thuggery.

Kevin Baker has a couple of posts up about the wonderful job that the gummint, both local and federal, are doing to protect us from..... well, SOMETHING obviously, because they seem to be very serious about doing their job.

Sending storm-troopers into a guys house because he bought handgun ammo? Yep.

Confiscating supplies and notes from the house of a do-it-yourself chemist even though he hasn't broken any laws? Yep.

As Ronald Reagan said years ago, "The scariest words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'" Add the two examples abover to the Idaho man who was jailed by a petty tyrant because he had the audacity to follow the rules and laws of where he lived. At which point do we as citizens start to lock and load? How about we start just shutting our doors in the faces of the thugs and storm-troopers sent by a government that more and more resembles the government we broke away from over two-hundred years ago? Re-issue the Declaration of Independence to the corrupt, blood-sucking shitheels in D.C. It's as valid today as it was back in 1776.
