My little peanut snuck up behind me this evening as I was surfing the political blogs, and happened to see a picture of Barack Hussein Obama. She said, "That's Brock Obama. I don't like him." I said, "Me either. Why don't you like him?" She replied, "Because he thinks he can tell everybody what to do, but he can't." I said, "That's right." She continued, "If he tries to tell me what to do, I don't have to do it because I don't have to listen to him - I have to listen to you and Mommy, right Daddy?"
In that innocent comment, I found some wisdom. This man and his regime have no power that is not ceded to him by sovereign people. The federal government keeps handing down
edict after edict, and people continue to behave as if those edicts are binding. But the reality is that they are tenuous. The president and his Czars are in a distant land. We do not encounter them on a daily basis, and their real effect can be practically ignored, even as we must heed the attempt as the threat that it is.
If only all sovereign entities - from individuals, to private enterprise, to cities, counties, and states - would all recognize their sovereignty and exercise it, then the edicts of this government could be neutralized almost as easily as saying, "I don't have to do what you say, because I don't have to listen to you."
