Liberty Minute October 25 2013

How would Americans react if police from Mexico or Canada were given permission to detain and interrogate US citizens ? and were exempt from American law in doing so?

Were this to happen, the air would be rent with indignant ? and entirely justified ? protests over the affront to our national independence and what remains of our constitutional institutions. It is quite likely that some Americans confronted by foreign police would reject their supposed authority, ignore their demands, and perhaps even mount forceful resistance to them. Again, this would be both understandable, and commendable.

This is why American patriots should understand, and commend, the outrage of Canadian patriots over a border initiative in which American law enforcement officers would exercise enforcement authority and enjoy exemption from Canadian law.

Were these roles reversed, American conservatives would lead the chorus of denunciation. However, in Canada, those opposite is true. Sean Casey, a Liberal Party Member of Canada?s Parliament, points out that the country?s conservatives describe this imposition as the necessary price of increased trade with the US.  Casey insists that Canadians don?t ?want American police operating and carrying guns in Canada. It?s just not right.?

This is something all patriots should understand.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
