As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Heartland Institute,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Rep. Rangel: Law abiding citizens just shouldn’t have to carry guns.
Reporter: But, you’re protected by guns all over the place here at the Capitol.
Rep. Rangel: Well, that’s a little different. I think we deserve… I think we need to be protected down here.”
– Rep. Charlie Rangel (D), New York City
(If this isn’t hypocrisy at the highest level, I don’t know what is.)

My Commentary: Silly peasants. Guns are for the elect, and their mercenaries!

(note: though I previously shared a slightly different version of this artwork in June of 2017, within my post, “To the State, No Lives Matter…,” I still felt compelled to offer up an alternative commentary when I saw it again, due to the recent anti-gun push triggered by the latest school shooting, here in the States)

Morally Defensible Reasons Not to Pay Taxes in America

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “I Don’t Trust the Government,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Stockhold Syndrome: a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. Nathaniel Friedman (@freedarko): There is no morally defensible reason to not want to pay taxes and I’d even say if you don’t like taxes you’re immoral and maybe evil”

My Commentary: War on Drugs. Police brutality. Victimless “crimes.” War on Terror. Drone-bombing innocents. Wars of aggression. Empire-expanding imperialism. Overthrowing sovereign nations. These are just a few reasons to rightfully Withdraw Consent from a corrupt government (although this is precisely when one first discover their inability to legitimately opt out of even a portion of this State-Sponsored crime-spree, illuminating the fact that taxation is just a clever form of THEFT)…

“Good news! The government said if we just give them our guns, they’ll keep us safe.”

My Commentary: We’re saved!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Free Thought Project,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Police received over 20 calls warning them about death threats and violent behavior from the Florida shooter, Nikolas Cruz. Maybe if they called and said he had marijuana, they would have kicked down his door, raided his home, and arrested him for being in possession of a plant”

My Commentary: Sadly…

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Liberty Hangout,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Never forget. On February 19, 1942, the President of the United States authorized our government to incarcerate Americans simply because they looked like the enemy. More than 110,000 American citizens and immigrants of Japanese ancestry were forced to give up their homes, businesses, and ways of life. It was one of the worst civil liberties disasters. #DayofRemembrance | DayofRemembrance.org“

My Commentary: “No one needs an AR-15, nor a 30-round magazine!”

Keep clinging to your Utopian delusions, and the historical illiteracy that fuels it, Statist!
