Government Without Consent Lacks Legitimacy

 Why? Why would those in positions of power forsake freedom as a rallying cry when no other word better signifies who Americans are, what they have done, and what they will do in the future? The answer is that the American government has become no different than the English one it overthrew - intoxicated by its own power to such a degree that it has deluded itself into believing that control over those it purports to govern is its by right.

In turn, individual freedom and the voluntary consent of the governed that only freedom can maintain have been abandoned, so that a cumbersome government bureaucracy may rise, beholden to none.

The present task for the American government is to lull the public back to a state of narcoleptic dependency, divert their attention with mass propaganda, intimidate them into apathetic compliance, and ratchet up displays of force.

At no time did the American people provide their consent to these radical changes.

At no time did the American people relinquish their inherent prerogative to determine for themselves when their government has acted beyond its delegated powers.

At no time did the American people lose inalienable rights that cannot be vitiated through government decree.

Without any vote or consultation with the American people, D.C. transformed a limited and sharply defined central government into an amorphous blob beyond ordinary citizens' control.
