Think FBI, CIA, BATF, Secret Service, etc. All these agencies are unconstitutional.

    Agree. That is why we the people need to keeps tabs on these agencies, although I would commend to Joe that the CIA is authorized by the constitution, so long as it operates outside the borders of the United States. The Agency has done some pretty good work that most folks have never heard of. But they have no place in our Republic,

    Power corrupts. That is why our government is established with checks and balances in order to make sure no single branch of government can usurp the power of the others. Of course, attempts to centralize power with hthe Executive branch never ceases -- that's why we need a Congress that is not afraid of the President.

    Absolutely. Vigilante justice is justice that corrupts.

    Having no enabling acts, these alphabet entities are not just unconstitutional (in action, contrary to the principles of individual sovereignty, inalienable rights, and liberty at nature's law), they are non-existent to the de jure States united.

    No, following the path of justice will not corrupt, it will strengthen you. Socialism is the challenge of socialized behavior to create.
     -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown     
    		•  
    Sillik, socialism is antithetical to justice. Socialism challenges individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty at nature's law. Socialism, through its many denominations, creates censorship, illogical dialogue, pain, suffering, poverty, anger, violence, death, war and all else that is contrary to the nobility of man.
