A Thousand Wacos, A Thousand Ruby Ridges

The Supreme Court of the United States has officially declared that you do not have a right to own property, despite the protection of the Fifth Amendment, using the flimsy excuse that "just compensation" can be determined by the municipality that wishes to steal the land from its rightful owner.

This decision, I believe (and in some ways hope, despite myself) will lead to a thousand Wacos and a thousand Ruby Ridges.

Here is my vow and I hope that all of you who read this will take a similar pledge and stand by it:

I vow that if a government entity attempts to take my property from me, for whatever reason, I will stand firm and protect my property with words, physical force, and even with force of arms if necessary. I will not relent in my protection of my property until I have received a fair settlement, the government entity wishing to take my land has relented, or my dead body is plowed under by their bulldozers.

I hope every other property owner in this nation will take a similar vow and back it up by owning and knowing how to use a rifle. The Supreme Court does not speak for the people of the United States of America! Show them that!

I do so vow!
