When Government Ignores The Law, People Should Ignore The Government.

Missouri Secretly Shares Entire CCW List With Feds Against State Law

This sort of casual disregard for the laws that are supposed to restrain it has become so commonplace, that I submit that our government has lost all legitimacy and forfeited the right to have any power over us.

It doesn't matter what laws we pass:

Congress ignores the law requiring it to pass a budget.

The President ignores

1. Laws governing secured creditors during the auto bailout
2. Law saying he can only make "recess appointments" when the Senate is actually in recess, and that only the Senate gets to determine when it's in recess.
3. The War Powers Act
4. The Immigration Act

Corruption of political parties is so endemic in Chicago, New York and Washington that it ceases to be remarkable

Government funds are doled out to "invest" in companies that are, coincidentally, owned by the President's bundlers and donors.

Ambassadorships are parceled out as rewards to supporters regardless of qualifications.

Laws are set aside for the elite -- it's OK for David Gregory to possess a 30 round magazine in D.C., because clearly, as an elite media reprentative, he's no danger to anyone. I wonder if a similar explanation would work for me (of course not).

I could go on for pages.

I obey the government only out of fear, not respect. I know I'm not the only one.
