Explain why your government won't protect this country from an invasion by illegal aliens ;

How many important acts by your Congress,
President and Courts can you point to that are
not irrational to the point of madness?

Damn few.

And where's all this madness come from?
I contend that the primary source is our fiat, paper
currency, the resulting immorality, and the attempts
by Congress to placate the creditors (robbed by
inflation to serve the debtors) with new special
interest laws that the allow the creditors, by
means other than monetary inflation, to legally
rob their debtors.

If my contention is correct,
what can we do about it?

Not too much right now;
at least, not much on the national level.

Eventually,
we will restore a constitutional
(gold or silver based) monetary system,
but that won't happen until this nation
has first gone through an economic Hell

Those who believe in individual sovereignty don't
doubt for one minute that government has power
over them.

Clearly, the gov-co has battalions of knee-breakers
(cops and military) who are willing to arrest without
warrant, detain or even murder those who resist
gov-co power.

But the issue is not about power-it's about right
and wrong-and more precisely, it's about authority.

A fundamental argument of those who embrace the
idea of individual sovereignty is that the government
may have power, but has no authority over the
individual sovereign except in those limited instances
where the sovereign people (as individual sovereigns)
have delegated some of their authority to the government.

Thus, the issue advanced by individual sovereigns is
not whether the gov-co has "power" over them (any
fool can see that government has enormous power)-
it's whether gov-co has authority over them.

That's an entirely different question as compared
to the MSNBC blurb's reference to "power"
