The Supreme Court May Finally Do Something Right!

[Radar]

The founders, much like Ron Paul, myself, and other libertarians instituted a government that derives limited powers from the consent of the governed. Government may only have those powers that we have as individuals, to grant to it. Governmental power may not exceed the rights of even a single individual.

In other words, if I don't have a right to do something, I can't grant that power to government. The animation shown by the ISIL says that we can ask others to defend us and our rights. This is why we elect people. We give them a limited number of powers that are derived from our rights. We say that we will allow the government to create a military to defend all of us, we elect a mayor and entrust him with creating a police force, etc.

The Constitution is a libertarian document, and our government is most certainly not abiding by it. Government was always meant to be very small and to only do a few things for us. It was never meant to be all things to all people. It was never meant to handle things like retirement, healthcare, education, charity, etc.
