Many will regard my refusal to subsidize a lawless federal government as the act of a madman or a fool. In truth, at times I have doubted my own sanity. As for being a fool, I plead guilty without hesitation. I confess to having long believed the world needs principled fools. Historical evidence abounds. America’s very existence required 102 fools in search of religious freedom to leave their homes, cross a perilous ocean, and brave a hostile wilderness in 1620. Its survival as a free nation was secured 156 years later when 56 liberty-loving fools placed their heads in a British noose by signing the Declaration of Independence. Will posterity validate my poor imitation of their inspired folly? While awaiting the answer, I invite you, the reader, to visit my New Guards For Liberty web site at www.newguardsforliberty.com. Its goal is to form a fellowship of volunteer Constitution Enforcement Officers (CEOs) to protect and defend our nation from the eternal threat to freedom posed by unconstrained government power.
