I guess you guys just don't get it. Citizen = slave and slaves have no protection other than what the master wants to give them. People does not equal citizen. If you believe you were born a citizen you better think again. The 14th Amendment states: All persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are United States citizens. What does subject to the jurisdiction thereof mean? Do you even know what the term person means? Tell me how anyone is born a citizen? I was born a man on the land. Citizenship is a choice and if you chose to be citizen then you chose to be subject. Subjects do not have constitutionally protected rights, only civil rights bestowed upon them by there master. Wake up people!!
If you chose to be citizen you have contracted as slave. It's all about contract.
First - Welcome to OCDO. Do you OC? Whaddya carry?
Being called a "Man" is supposed to man something other than just male. You were NOT born a man, you were born a drooling helpless male infant like me and it was someone else's responsibility to raise you, to feed you, provide for you, to teach you HOW to hopefully one day become a man of your own actions.I've known many adult males that I would not call a "Man" in my 43 years on earth.
Time doesn't make you a man...your words and deeds do!
Being a "Citizen" is supposed to mean something too, other that just having been born here. And it did mean something before the IRS effectively made us all slaves to the government. Todaythe word "citizen" it has two meanings. The modern usagethat hascome to meananyoneborn in the USA. IMHO, that only makes youaRESIDENT. I've also met many peopleborn and riased here in America that I would not call "Citizen".
Accordingly, being born in America shouldn't just make you a citizen...your words and deeds should!

Once upon a time,being a citizenmeant so muchmore thanbeing born and residing here in America and God willing, one day we will return to those values and ideals that made us once great.It's more than just living on this land under our Stars and Stripes and calling ourselves "American". It doesn't begin and end at the voting booth. It's taking PART in the government, voicing your words,both condemning and praising those in government that deserve it either way, standing watch OVER the governmentensuring it doesn't go astray. That's the problem, too many selfish people today curl up in their homes and do NOTHING but whine, whine, whine and the wonder why the country is where it is today. When was the last time you attended a town hall/town council meeting? Wrote your representatives on something you felt strongly about? Met your representatives?
Like it or not, we are a nation of laws that are proposed, discussed, legislated and then adjudicated. Don't like the laws? You don't have any right to break them, but here in America we CAN CHANGE THEM. Let your legislators know. Tell THEM, not us. Everyone lives under some form of law, be it the laws of God, the laws of manor the inescapable law of gravity. The laws of God and gravity we can't do much about, but the laws of man that affect our lives and our freedoms for the short time we're here ARE our responsibility. Being an American Citizen is a RESPONSIBILITY and it is hard work. Freedome isn't free by any stretch of the imagination.
I've traveled around the world and seen many things and I can assure you, we have it so much better than anyone else. Are we perfect? Hell no! But we are the best! We can be so much better and closer to the dream that was envisioned 232 years agoif people - CITIZENS - act responsibly, take a stand andhold government accountable TO THE PEOPLE.
Hope to see you here more often...this is fun!
Have a great weekend and God bless!
