The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and peace, and covers with its shield of protection all classes of men, at all times and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of men that any of its great provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of Government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism…. U.S. Supreme Court

Some argue that we already live in a police state, and Congressdoesn’t have the foggiest notion of what they’re dealing with. Soforget it and use your energy for your own survival. Some advise thatthe momentum towards the monolithic state cannot be reversed.Possibly that’s true, but I’m optimistic that if we do the rightthing and do not capitulate to popular fancy and the incessant warpropaganda, the onslaught of statism can be reversed.To do so, we as a people will once again have to dedicate ourselvesto establishing the proper role a government plays in a free society.That does not involve the redistribution of wealth through force. Itdoes not mean that government dictates the moral and religiousstandards of the people. It does not allow us to police the world byinvolving ourselves in every conflict as if it’s our responsibilityto manage a world American empire.But it does mean government has a proper role in guaranteeing freemarkets, protecting voluntary and religious choices and guaranteeingprivate property ownership, while punishing those who violate theserules – whether foreign or domestic.
