The push for freedom is an individual concept that is now outdated. The new shift should be towards a stronger society which requires responsibility.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404364171980059051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762223684746484243.post-48545547418945414962016-03-27T04:56:46.603-07:002016-03-27T04:56:46.603-07:00My little nitpicking side wants to say that the ch...My little nitpicking side wants to say that the challenge was not made of the BP but of 2 worker bees who were granted qualified immunity (which for me is dumbfounded decision).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404364171980059051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762223684746484243.post-41998688887225950982016-03-27T04:55:14.408-07:002016-03-27T04:55:14.408-07:00I have been thinking about this case.

I wonder can you file a new lawsuit for the same incident but instead of dealing with qualified immunity issues of the actual offenders that you go after those that trained the individuals and the organization itself.<br /><br />If I remember, your lawsuit only was against the agents involved with the detention. A new lawsuit aimed at the training and the organization can (or should) include changes in the prayer for relief section.<br /><br />This take on the lawsuit would address the inability of the organization to follow previous judicial instruction (s).<br /><br />Just wondering,<br /><br />Joseph BachAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404364171980059051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762223684746484243.post-51838023439335349202016-03-26T02:50:43.496-07:002016-03-26T02:50:43.496-07:00Don't want to back up your comment, Robert?

It saddens me that we are at the precipice of the end of America as a once strong and proud nation. I see and hear a lot of people wanting to raise arms, but as one comment here replied, this country is now militarized. I am afraid that if we were able to band together we would be in prison and or slaughtered. Does this mean I am ready to lie down and play dead. No, but I be ready and pick my battles where I see a chance to be a American, for that is what I am, 110%.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432538060210783026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762223684746484243.post-2216668996282770102016-03-22T03:36:06.376-07:002016-03-22T03:36:06.376-07:00Thanks for your comment, but I hope you're not...Thanks for your comment, but I hope you're not serious about revolution being a potential solution. If so, I'd recommend you put that "option" out of your mind. Not only would any group be facing the most powerful military and surveillance state in history (and growing more powerful everyday as the DHS domestic army and police are increasingly militarized), but you'd also have to consider that faithful public servants in the military would be constitutionally obligated to follow orders against those would dare to dabble in revolution. Article 1, Section 8 of our Constitution gives the Congress power to call forward the militia itself to suppress insurrection and the President would be in charge of that militia according to Article 1. But beyond these two points, have you considered what a successful revolution (which will never happen except in what-if scenarios) would look like?<br /><br />What would replace what exists now? Would it be a restoring of the Republic and our government's mischief restrained by constitutional chains? Hardly. The American people do not care about such things. Sure, you can find a couple who do and you can find even more who don the term "patriot" and sport "III" tats and who use buzzwords but do not actually value liberty or our Republic, but those people are but the tiniest fraction of the American people. So how do you think that would work out? What comes next? A government of the people, for the people, and by the people? Good luck with that. What would result in this fiction of a successful revolution would be fascism with different faces.<br /><br />No, we are proper fucked. Because Americans don't care about liberty or their rights or the rule of law regardless of who they vote for in the puppet show, or whatever political-football-team they cheer for. The one thing that unites Americans across the political spectrum is their fascist desire to use government force against others to make them bend to their will (be it disarming Americans because somebody finds it offensive for somebody other than government to have weapons, or be it somebody who would ban mosques because they find their religious preference offensive). You think these people, after the massive bloodshed and this country be ripped apart and the fascist boot being more overtly stamped upon the faces of your neighbors is going to lead to something better? Not a chance.<br /><br />Sorry, but revolution is not a solution. It's not an option.<br /><br />This nation will never be free until the people of this nation, with their amazing access to information and history, take time out of their Fantasy Football League and have the character to honestly think about the world around them, the courage to follow the truth where it leads, and to develop the principle of freedom. But, having been out of the nest where their parents failed to educate their children as good Americans, that ain't gonna happen. And the cycle continues as these human hamsters have their own litters. With each generation history becomes just a fuzzy story you once heard but didn't pay attention to. Like the spoiled children of great men, Americans on the whole today are a disgusting lot with a staggering lack of character. There is some truth to the saying that we get the government we deserve.<br /><br />Americans are too ignorant and unprincipled to be free. The people of this nation will have to re-live very difficult historical lessons if there is any hope of learning from them. If I am reading the tea leaves correctly, the lesson is coming. And it's going to be ugly. It already is to those who pay attention.<br /><br />At any rate, should you make the poor decision to dabble with revolution you can count me firmly out. I shudder to think of the fascism that would replace our current system in the fiction of a successful revolution. Revolution is not an option.<br /><br />Nope, we're proper fucked.PickYourBattles.Nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448529287854593110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762223684746484243.post-3523546278719735342016-03-21T20:54:08.969-07:002016-03-21T20:54:08.969-07:00Rick, I live in AZ and frequently travel down to s...Rick, I live in AZ and frequently travel down to southern Arizona and have to deal with these checkpoints.
