Former Representative Walter Jones (R-NC) recently passed away at the age of 76.
Jones will be most remembered for his immense support for the Iraq War. He was such a strong advocate for the invasion that he changed the name of French fries in government cafeterias to “freedom fries” to protest France’s opposition to the war.
But he changed his mind years later.
From Tom Woods:
Plenty of people, with a change in the political winds, have said in retrospect that their support for that war was a “mistake.”
Wow. Big whoop.
Their belated recognition of that “mistake” never seems to have affected their enthusiasm for future interventions, of course.
Jones was the exact opposite.
“I have signed over 12,000 letters to families and extended families who’ve lost loved ones in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,” he said, “and that was for me asking God to forgive me for my mistake.”
Elsewhere he added: “I did not do what I should have done to read and find out whether Bush was telling us the truth about Saddam being responsible for 9/11 and having weapons of mass destruction. Because I did not do my job then, I helped kill 4,000 Americans, and I will go to my grave regretting that.”
…
He told a gathering of Young Americans for Liberty: “Lyndon Johnson’s probably rotting in hell right now because of the Vietnam War, and he probably needs to move over for Dick Cheney.”
Heroic.
Free Speech Forum says
If Pakistan passed a law that said all Americans must pay Pakistan income taxes, no one would obey the law, but everyone would still be a criminal.
Americans need to have this same thinking about US laws now.
Since the USA is no longer a democracy, Americans do not get to choose what laws they want or taxes they have. Americans have no obligations to obey the law. The government now is no different from the mafia.
The elites have gone insane. They will stop at nothing until everyone is dead.
The government is no longer legitimate. There is no rule of law. The government has lost the consent of the governed.
The time has arrived for people to withdraw from the system.
Drop out.
Withdraw your money from banks, buy gold, and use barter.
Do not call the police.
Go underground and work off the books.
Do not pay taxes.
If swearing is illegal, swear.
If baggy pants are illegal, wear baggy pants.
If texting is illegal, text.
If seatbelt use is mandatory, don’t use them.
If loitering is illegal, loiter.
Do not get marriage licenses, birth certificates, gun permits, fishing licenses, dog licenses, driver licenses, or business licenses.
Don’t buy health or car insurance.
Don’t vote.
The government doesn’t obey the law, why should we?
The government is not your daddy. The government is not your mommy.
They can’t kill us all.
The government can murder, kidnap, steal, torture, and wiretap, but you can’t.
Think.
Spread the word.
