. . . of Baby Murder<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 June, 2017<\/p>\n

How does a legitimate government tolerate<\/em> the murder of innocents?<\/p>\n

How does a legitimate government take tax money and pay for the murder<\/em> of innocent without resistance from the citizens?<\/p>\n

Why do you continue to honor and support such authority?<\/p>\n

These are the questions that need to be answered in order for anyone who expects to continue his citizenship in the United States and pay due taxes to support such a government.\u00a0 He cannot in good conscience continue to pay for crimes against humanity even though a benighted Christian generation has been paying such for 44 years.<\/p>\n

These are revolutionary questions.\u00a0 And they go to the heart of our national claim to be a nation of law and order with\u00a0 liberty and justice for all.\u00a0 There is no liberty for those in the womb and there is no justice for those who defend them. But there is damnation aplenty\u00a0 for those who have raised neither their voices nor their fists for the deliverance of the innocents.<\/p>\n

Taxation was the target of our forefathers who fought not for such a high cause as the right to life but waged a war over the claim for participation in their destiny through a representative form of government. \u00a0Something comparatively trivial – manner of rule – was the issue.\u00a0 Nothing to do with life and grave injustices to humanity.\u00a0 They wanted political relief.\u00a0 There was no holocaust, no innocent lives were being taken.<\/p>\n

States’ rights was the issue in our War between the States.\u00a0 The “War of Northern Aggression” was indeed a war for the authority of the federal government over the states. \u00a0Liberty for black slaves was a benefit in the long run, evolving albeit through a segregated society over after many years.<\/p>\n

In a century the\u00a0benefits of political liberty – the sovereignty (and freedom) of the states – has been lost as authority has been centralized in the federal government. \u00a0Lost is the Law (of God). \u00a0There is no clearer an illustration of the blatant usurpation of authority than that assumed by federal government’s judicial branch in what is known as the Roe v. Wade<\/em> “decision.”<\/p>\n

Decree is the more accurate term.\u00a0 Or, to borrow a term from the then-contemporary rival country, the “Godless communist Soviet Union” – \u00a0a “ukase.” \u00a0The laws of all 50 states were abolished by the stroke of a pen.\u00a0 Our Court czars overthrew States Rights and the power of the presumably balanced federal government was consolidated in the Supreme Court which is now our final authority inasmuch as the other branches have bowed in abject submission unequivocally – yes, \u00a0even to the most absurd and blasphemous judgments.<\/p>\n

Refuse taxation?\u00a0 Revolt?<\/p>\n

Never in our history were there better grounds.<\/p>\n
