Consent To Be Governed

[Wake-up!]

Men (sorry ladies, no women were present) far wiser than today's so-called leaders instituted a governing body to protect their, and our, unalienable human rights. Those governing bodies derived their powers from the consent of the governed. Some 240 years after the fact, just when have any of us consented to be governed by the elitists in Washington DC? Or Topeka, for that matter?

Just something to think about; when have you consented to be regulated as you/we are? I have never given blanket consent to be governed. I doubt if anyone has. I can think of only three instances in my life where I have consented. 1) I signed enlistment papers and spent six years of combined active and inactive military 'duty'. At the end of six years I was discharged from any further military governance. 2) I have a State Driver's License that I signed. That signature acknowledges consent to be governed by the rules of the road. That is all it consents to. 3) I bought a home and property in a small community. I believe the Real Estate Contract I signed is my consent to be governed by the local ordinances in place at the time of purchase. (The issue of Real Estate Contracts versus Alloidial Title to property is a sticky wicket, and possibly another post.)

That's it, outside of several private employment contracts I've signed over the years where I agreed to an employers' terms and conditions. When have you consented to be governed?? And why do we obey regulations we have not consented to? What would happen if many of us simply told those in power, "We do not consent to be governed"?

Since 1865, the Fed's have claimed ownership of us.  That's the Republican party thinking to this day. 

Secession, gun rights and nullification are not favorite Republican topics to defend.  When Ron Paul spoke of liberty, it was contrary to the Republican doctrine too.

This country needs more Jeffersonian Democrats.

Why do we need politics at all?
