Vote for whom? Two of the same people with different skin color and a different letter by their name? How easy is it to get on a state ballot?

You might note that on this point, I agree.

"What a cruel thing is war, to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and
happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world." Robert E. Lee

Much wiser than his current admirers, wasn't he?

Please by all means do, of course being "underground" makes it a little difficult to recruit sufficient support, but that is fine with me, I hope that you can find the deepest hole available.
History shows it works extremely well. Funny people bring up tin foil hat NSA is searching for you nonsense. I'm too old and too aware of their processes to know that's bullcrap.

You dare to equate the despotism of an monarch with the free will of the people? Frankly such an expression only serves to further demonstrate that you are no better than any other totalitarian movement be it Fascist, or Marxist-Leninist!
We're getting there. When the time comes, it will be very difficult to discern between a pro-government military drone following orders and a redcoat other than, well, the red coat.

If so, then you will have the last laugh in this lifetime. Congrats!

I will be an American, and regardless of my age, physical condition (assuming that you won't get your act together for decades) I will pick up a weapon and defend the Constitution against enemies foreign or domestic and anyone who would willingly subvert the democratic process is in my mind an enemy of the state, be they on the right or the left.
What a coincidence! I will also be picking up one of many weapons to defend the same principles against pro-federal government redcoats who have long abandoned Constitutional principles.

Lee was a Traitor, his property was confiscated and his citizenship revoked. He should have been hung

The more I read this drivel, the more I'm glad the federal government hasn't been as insane (yet) to enlist this type.

Freedom of movement is, as is the freedom to be employed. Technically you cant work without the number(the mark) either.

I'm sure there are other things one is excluded from by refusing the mark as well( a home mortgage, medical insurance, utility services like water, electric, etc.), I just used the driver license as one example.

Perhaps those things arent specifically mentioned in the constitution, but they all affect how one functions within the "society" as a whole.
