That's why this whole movement is fishy to me. I know what we're supposed to leave this **** behind as part of the old paradigm. However, I'm starting to think that it's a general disdain of Obama more than it has to do with paying taxes.

You may have a point here. We seem to find it easier to be up in arms and hate people...than to calmly study the Constitution...and the writings and events surrounding the formation of this great experiment...the United States of America. And then to rationally apply the Constitution to the challenges we face. I don't even do this...even though I'm trying to focus on the Constitution. I want this movement to have deep roots...and not just be an angry flash in the pan.
I wanted Pat Buchanan for President in '92...and he was a Republican campaigning against an incumbent Republican President...George H.W. Bush. That was a Republican no no...but I liked what Buchanan had to say...and I didn't like what Bush said and did. But there was little real focus on the Constitution. When Bill Clinton was elected...the Republicans were livid...especially the Conservatives...like Rush Limbaugh. They mercilessly attacked Clinton for 8 years. Much of it was deserved...but a lot of it was in very poor taste. But there was little real focus on the Constitution. When George W. Bush was elected...there were high hopes for a Compassionate Conservatism. These hopes were quickly extinguished...especially after 9/11. But there was little real focus on the Constitution.
Leading up to the '08 election...Ron Paul emerged as a genuine Constitutionalist...and the mainstream media laughed and shut him out...hard. Now that the globalists and banksters are openly taking over...the laughing has stopped...and the alternative media is overriding the mainstream media. People are jumping on the Constitutional bandwagon...and better late than never. Alex Jones rants and raves...and most of it makes sense. But even now...is there a real focus on the Constitution?
Americans don't focus on the U.S. Constitution...in the same way that Christians don't focus on the Teachings of Jesus. Is there a supernatural reason for this? We wrestle not against flesh and blood...but against principalities and powers...and spiritual wickedness in high places. Think about it.
