Meridian, ID — Over the past several weeks, unrest around the country has grown due to the now 24 million jobless claims, and politically motivated, arbitrary nature of executive orders from coast to coast. Many people are upset and are expressing that anger in the form of peaceful protests all over the country. Naturally, as with any political statement, it has been crammed into the two-party information separator and has come out a divisive and polarizing hot mess. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. For years, conservatives — who claim to support ‘small government’ — have cheered on the police state, waiving their blue line American flags and shaming those who advocated police accountability. All the while, America’s law enforcement system amassed military-grade weaponry, voted themselves into a protected class, continued to enforce unconstitutional laws, and set the stage for total authoritarian control. When football players started taking knees, even the President of the United States used his pulpit to publicly shame them for daring to speak out against innocent minorities getting beaten and killed by cops. At one point the hatred for police accountability activism became so overwhelming that so-called conservatives took to lighting their shoes on fire after Nike ran an ad with outspoken police brutality advocate Collin Kaepernick. Any time there was a protest against police brutality after one of the countless young black men were killed in this country — many of whom were unarmed and innocent — these conservatives took to their social media podiums and advocated running them down in the streets for exercising their First Amendment rights. In a few instances, they actually did run over police brutality protesters and at one point they even tried to make it legal to to do so! For years, this duality has existed and for years, the right’s establishment-granted role was to unquestioningly cheer on the police state — until now. We now find ourselves in an extremely rare time in which we see outspoken conservatives and those on the right, protesting the police. As governors across the country hand out their arbitrary shut down orders, declaring liquor stores essential while shutting down gun stores, or declaring abortions essential while not allowing knee replacements, Americans started getting angry. Now, they are in the streets as many of them realize the governors’ decrees are but meaningless words without their enforcers—the cops. An entire thread on Twitter this week was devoted to conservatives calling out one of their own who said that cops arresting people for playing in parks, surfing, handing out food, etc., “are just doing their jobs.” Memes of nazis killing Jews flooded the thread with the words “just doing our jobs,” plastered across them. Other prominent conservative voices took to calling cops “tyrants” for arresting protesters and demanding they be fired or find new jobs. It appears, for now, that the right may have finally begun to question the police state they once so adamantly worshiped. All of this came to a head this week when a video of Sara Walton Brady’s arrest went viral. Brady helped to organize a protest over the weekend in which moms would take their kids to play in the park — an act hardly comparable to Rosa Parks, but civilly disobedient nonetheless. Brady was arrested, according to police, because she refused to leave when police demanded the kids stop playing in the park. The video caused outrage across the internet and manifested into a massive act of police accountability. After Brady’s arrest, dozens of protesters went to the home of the Meridian Police Department officer who arrested Brady. The protest was reportedly spearheaded by Ammon Bundy, who as TFTP reported last week, has been planning resistance to the lockdowns. As the crowd grew larger at the officer’s home, his fellow cops helped guard him. “There was a woman at a park with her children and she was arrested!” Bundy screams at the four or five cops standing in the driveway. “Completely inappropriate.” “The people will not allow you guys to do this for very long!” Bundy yells at the cops in the video. “You will not go into the park and arrest people! You will not go into parks and arrest mothers, and you will not go anywhere and arrest us for exercising what our rights are.” The cops seemed receptive to the message and appeared to have an actual conversation with the protesters instead of simply ignoring them. This is a good thing. Naturally, the left is calling the protest in front of the cop’s home, an act of extremism. The same outlet that supported protests when it fit their narrative, now refers to others as “extremists” for similarly flexing their rights. They also attempted to smear the woman who was arrested because she reportedly chooses to abstain from vaccination….the horror. Shame on you HuffPo. I don't agree with the Bundy's on everything but this is bullshit. "Extremist " anti-government views. There is nothing "extremist" about being morally & intellectually consistent. Supporting war criminals, known liars & thieves is extremist @HuffPost! GTFOH with your propaganda! pic.twitter.com/ncLeURw9Nh — Jason Bassler (@JasonBassler1) April 23, 2020 Is supporting the Constitution, even in an instance of a pandemic, really that “extreme”? That is a debate we need to start having right now. The longer the lockdowns stay in place, the more unrest will unfold and a scene far worse than what is happening in New York hospitals is likely to materialize. The good news is that the empirical data is becoming undeniable at this point, which means we may soon see a light at the end of this lockdown tunnel. Just this week, Scott W. Atlas, MD, the David and Joan Traitel Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and the former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center, mustered up the gumption to challenge the widely accepted “stay the f**k home” orders. In an oped at thehill.com, Dr. Atlas claimed that it is now time to stop the panic and end the total isolation. He noted that the previous fearful strategies were based on hypothetical projections, largely revamped and disproved. This Senior Fellow at Stanford University said it is time for our leaders to “examine accumulated data to see what has actually happened, rather than keep emphasizing hypothetical projections; combine that empirical evidence with fundamental principles of biology established for decades; and then thoughtfully restore the country to function.” It is hard to disagree with him.
Poster Comment: OK - so the race card didn't need to be played in order for Matt to make his point - plenty of innocent whites are terminated with extreme prejudice. That said - it's encouraging to see some small pockets of resistance.

A more accurate description would be: Ammon Edward Bundy, who led the 2016 occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and is the son of rancher Cliven Bundy, who was the central figure in the 2014 Bundy standoff. But they can't use that because it would show just how anti-government he is.
No. She refused to vaccinate her child in kindergarten.
Just that phrase "anti-government" is prejudicial. I will bet you all I own that he is not, there are very few who are anti government. What people are, is for restricted/limited government. Something along the lines Tommy Jeff, and George WA were all about.
THIS IS A TAG LINE...Exercising rights is only radical to two people, Tyrants and Slaves. Which are YOU? Our ignorance has driven us into slavery and we do not recognize it.
Is that a quote from the NY Times? But they can't use that because it would show just how anti-government he is Yeah - it sure looked like the scary militia types were out in force there. I must have missed all the "Don't Tread On Me" signs and the Confederate flags. However I did see a peaceful group of - what 20-30 soccer moms and dads? I suppose a lot of them renegade "anti-government" folks are movin' to the suburbs these days. I heard some of them moved to Arlington Road
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Why does the media call this extreme behavior? When Antifa/anarchists/enviros/socialists do doxxing and/or visiting Tucker Carlsons house it is a side note without the adjective of "extreme" "leftwing radical" etc. I know the answer, but it is worth noting.

When Antifa/anarchists/enviros/socialists do doxxing and/or visiting Tucker Carlsons house it is a side note without the adjective of "extreme" "leftwing radical" etc. Yep - I wondered the very same thing. Mark Zuckerberg: Lockdown Protests Are ‘Misinformation,’ Facebook Will Ban Organizers “We do classify that as harmful misinformation and we take that down,” confirmed Zuckerberg, while at the same time saying that it’s important “that people can debate policies.” Yet - Antifa pages are still up and running. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. However I did see a peaceful group of - what 20-30 soccer moms and dads? Misterwhite -- are you/were you or those in your circle LE? Are you at liberty to share why your position is so...authoritarian in the extreme? Authoritarianism is NOT about "Freedom"; It's far more about CONTROL. And frankly, fascism. I'd vote for you as Most Enigmatic Poster. I may be wrong, but I'm going to speculate on your past: My assumption: You despised the Anything-Goes hippy-movement and never could forgive it or them. As a result they were the "kill-switch" that forever shoved you way to the other end of the Freedom Spectrum.
I and my fraternity traveled to Kent State right after the 1970 shooting to show support. So there's that.
Who were doing what? Protesting the enforcement of a law they previously supported? Change the fucking law!
If the shoe fits. Wiki describes him as "has participated in, and had links with various related movements, including anti-government activism ... and the sovereign citizen movement (which holds that people are answerable only to their particular interpretation of the common law and are not subject to any government statutes or proceedings). But maybe you're right. Anarchist is probably a better description. "Something along the lines Tommy Jeff, and George WA were all about." Yep. They even created a document giving the people power to change the laws. Armed insurrection was not part of that document.
EXACTAMUNDO on all your points! Yes, The Media... Their #1 mission is as "front line troops" to support their brethren s' WAR ON TRUTH, DECENCY, & FREEDOM. Because these Totalitarian-Fascist-Commie control-freaks actually expect the REST of us to fall in line and buy their bullsh** Upside-Down World, of course our opposition to surrender is considered "extreme." I wonder if these Liars and Hypocrites understand how truly despised and distrusted they are? "When Antifa/anarchists/enviros/socialists do doxxing and/or visiting Tucker Carlsons house it is a side note without the adjective of 'extreme' 'leftwing radical' etc." Yup. Conspicuously and totally omitted by the Fake Media is the actual truth as you indeed noted. It's no different than devils calling angels "LIARS!," is it?
Of which side?
Constitutional changes require 2/3 Congressional approval, don't they? So YOU change it if you wanna play this Stasi Game. What part of "abuse of power" and "unconstitutional overreach" don't you understand?
Ha ha.
That's YOUR shoe, pal. Gummint Tyranny is what The Founders' 2A is all about. Look it up.
So...you're chuckling because you showed up in black uniforms and red/white armbands?
Government tyranny? Bundy was grazing on federal land (ie., land belonging to all of us) and not paying grazing fees.
Chyeah, right... So it's your contention that THE reason the gummint sent out an army after Bundy was exactly to enforce "grazing fees," eh? smh Btw -- THAT LAND DOES NOT BELONG TO WE THE PEOPLE; It is stolen from us by the so-called Elites. (don't take my word for it -- after you re-read the USCON and 2A, look over a map of the "Federal Land" that's been confiscated from STATES.)
It is IMPOSSIBLE to change laws and behavior of government, when well over half of it that controls behavior is instituted and policed by bureaucracies that are not elected, or laws that are not voted on by officials. The vast majority is written policies by agencies that have no business being in business in the first place. Each individual in the US is a sovereign. In a Kingdom, the King is the sovereign. All power flows downward from him. In the US we were set up as sovereign citizens WHO LOAN our power in certain circumstances to elected officials. We haven't given them away, they are on loan and we still can exercise the exact same powers that we loaned to them. For instance, if a man reaches into your car and attempts to take your car keys, you pull your .45 out and kill him. It doesn't matter that you could flee. Would the police be told to run away? Then neither should a citizen. Again, the best government is as close to Anarchy as possible and still maintain order. We are way past that

EXACTLY !!!

You mean, "It is IMPOSSIBLE to change laws and behavior of government" to suit you. Ever occur to you that the laws and behavior of government are just fine with the other half of the country? They think the system works. Moot point. Trump is changing those laws.
No? You have proof it was for some other reason or do you just have a theory? A conspiracy theory.
Misterwhite: "You have proof it was for some other reason or do you just have a theory? A conspiracy theory." misterwhite posted on 2020-04-25 10:57:35 ET Bwaahaa!! Playing the "Conspiracy Theory" Card: Cover to lie and license to blindly dismiss all the evidence and truth in the world Misterwhite -- Are you also going to consider the siege and murder at Rudy Ridge as a "conspiracy theory"? Will you also claim another "conspiracy theory" in the case at Waco, where a US military operation (INCLUDING ARMOR) was ordered to burn down a private building/home, and murdering innocent women, children, and men?
Why don't you try and answer questions and address rebuttals without deflections and red herrings? Jeremiad: "It is IMPOSSIBLE to change laws and behavior of government, when well over half of it that controls behavior is instituted and policed by bureaucracies that are not elected, or laws that are not voted on by officials. Misterwhile: "You mean, "It is IMPOSSIBLE to change laws and behavior of government" to suit you. Uh, no. Jeremiad means exactly WHAT HE SAID and the truth of the matter: 1) Laws NOT enacted by Congress and/or enforced by UN-ELECTED BUREAUCRATS by fiat are NOT LEGAL, nor CONSTITUTIONAL. 2) Unlike you, the kind of "behavior of government" and laws WE expect are LEGAL, MORAL, CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS, enforced and authorized by the DULY ELECTED. The biggest issue here seems to be your default position to oppose and disrespect US Constitution and it's lawful, legal application. That position, my friend, technically supports the same Anarchy that you claim to despise.
Second request: If it wasn't for grazing fees then why?
They are legal and constitutional if Congress gives them the power to pass them. If you want to argue that Congress shouldn't give them that power, I agree. "Unlike you, the kind of "behavior of government" and laws WE expect are LEGAL, MORAL, CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS, enforced and authorized by the DULY ELECTED." It appears to me that the kind of "behavior of government" and laws YOU expect are those you agree with. If you disagree, you call them illegal, immoral and unconstitutional.
Rich. I'd rather just debate facts and opine, but you insist on playing the 'King of the Stonewall Mountain'. Why demand the obvious answer from me on the above -- while casting schools of red herrings and deflecting answers to MY questions? According to WHOM (and by whose order) was Bundy chased around like a "MOST WANTED" with an army of federal agents and arrested? Do you know the answer to either? Are you able to answer just one question AND defend the reason(s) why you defend unconstitutional, unauthorized law so staunchly? I'd appreciate it.
Yes, I know all about the legality and constitutionality of Congressional Law and execution thereof. The keyword here is "IF". Badges, Boots, and Guns (instead of constitutional law) is FASCISM & ILLEGAL. What you seem to support are un-constitutional law and abuse of power by both elected AND un-elected authoritahs. It appears to me that the kind of "behavior of government" and laws YOU expect are those you agree with. If you disagree, you call them illegal, immoral and unconstitutional. Yes yes -- you've already played this ""behavior of government" card with Jeremiad. It is hereby REJECTED. (Due to your blatant misinterpretation & understanding of the US Constitution, the "legality" of authoritarian overreach, abuse, constitutional violations, and misappropriation of authoritah & power.)
That "half" of this country might "think the system works" or is content with its "behavior" is irrelevant. What matters is whether the government (local, state, federal,military, LE) are all "behaving" within their legal, constitutionally authority, and its representatives acting accordingly. I'm sure "half" the country (as well as Government "leaders") are also ok with dismissing the letter of the USCON, confiscating wealth that isn't theirs, and shuffling around laws that circumvent required congressional approval. Trump is changing those laws. The President is NOT King.
Fine. Give me an example and if I can show you that the government (local, state, federal,military, LE) are all "behaving" within their legal, constitutionally authority, then you promise to STFU. Deal?
The protest was reportedly spearheaded by Ammon Bundy, who as TFTP reported last week, has been planning resistance to the lockdowns.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
