I call myself a "Constitutional Anarchist." It is a bit of an oxymoron, but this entire society is a bit of an oxymoron, no?
I am a voluntaryist. I fully believe the destiny of humanity is in SELF GOVERNANCE. It is how our Creator INTENDED for us to live. Then evil bastards invented governments and money and religions to keep us enslaved, body, mind and spirit. I know in my heart that one day, humanity will throw off the shackles of MILLENNIA of lies and live as free as the other creatures of this planet.
I am a realist. That day is not today. There are still MANY people who cannot understand that they already self govern. If they can get their mind around the fact that they are not murdering because they CHOSE not to murder rather than because of any "laws" they often cannot grasp that it is true of everyone else around them. They will point to the rare exception, the truly black-hearted murderer and insist we need squadrons of cops and platoons of soldiers and Congresses of baboons to be safe from that handful of thugs. It is for their sake that I am willing to compromise at the Constitution.
If I were to be so blessed as to be "protected" by law enforcement who were enforcing the Constitution, what a happy little anarchist I would be! If all our military might was spent only DEFENDING our nation from threats to our Constitution, how quickly would peace overcome the planet? If those Houses on the Hill actually held fast to their oaths to the Constitution I think every Non-Aggression Principled voluntaryist on the planet would find the situation acceptable.
My efforts to self govern are not hampered by law enforcement that TRULY serves the Constitution (nor by Christians who TRULY serve Christ.) The only conflict an anarchist has with statist authority is the notion that their authority is genuine, and so they may deprive the anarchist of their liberty in the interest of enforcing codes and regulations. A statist authority who was defending my "Constitutional" rights (I hate that phrase, it defines them, it does not grant them) would feel no need to pull me over, demand my papers and extort money out of me for not having my seat belt on...
I know, you are saying "Sure, but that kind of cop, preacher, soldier, politician does not exist." Well, we can change that. I happen to know a former soldier who is willing to delve into politics for the cause of agorism. Now I do not expect to win over , he is pretty hard core lol! But I would like to see those of us who are willing to try to use political channels to rein in some tyrants start to stand and be counted. Stand quietly for now, not quite time to really get rowdy but we need to start finding each other.
The other day I posted a slideshow of my husband and I during the Ron Paul 2008 campaign. In 2012 I almost stayed home, but I could not turn my back on Dr. Paul. I worked my butt off for him, and my work was effective enough that again, he took the time to personally thank me.
In 2020, I will do all I can to elect the first Not President of the United States, Mr. Adam Kokesh.
I am asking for your help. I am not talking about waving signs or going door to door, although I will do that. I am talking about getting involved NOW in the Libertarian Party, so that we may have a real shot at making even greater changes than we did with Ron Pauls campaigns.
After 2008, I felt defeated by a media and political system that just shit all over one of the finest men I have ever met. After 2012, I felt irritated with my neighbors who fell for the lies again. But now Trump... Puppet? Maybe, but he sure makes the right enemies... and the important thing is he was NOT Clinton, and that was CLEARLY who was "supposed" to be elected. My neighbors woke up... it can be VERY different in 2020 if WE make it different.
Of course, we have to have a totally different kind of politician, don't we? Well, Adam is just that. I think it is worth shooting for the moon. My husband and I are willing to go to the convention this fall but we will need a little financial help. We are NOT asking for any kind of donations, I am just putting out a feeler here...
If I were to post something to promote Adam say, once a week maybe? What kind of REAL support would that garner here, and could we possibly earn enough steem dollars to make the trip? The Hippie says she will cover the farm, can get the time off work, it is money that holds us back and steemit looks like a possible solution.
What say ye, my friends and followers? Would you help us support Adam by upvotes and resteems? I do want to say I have met Adam in person, looked him in the eye and asked him hard questions. I do not agree with him on everything, but I trust him, and I will go out on the political limb for him. I believe he is cut from "Ron Paul" fabric with the youth and vitality to be a long term soldier in this fight.
