Letters to the Editor • Steven Anderson - Checkpoint Arrest
Sick of the Harassing Pastor
I want you to know that I am writing this because I feel passionately about this pastor abusing tax payers money and security with his childish antics against the Border Patrol and other law enforcement officers. These people has a job to do, and they are trying to do it. He is constantly holding up progress through lines and harassing these people. He could protest and not be a problem. However, he has taken it to another level, and he should be found guilty. It\'s disgusting to think that he claims to be a man of God.

they're job is not to beat and torture a helpless man who is by the way a preacher. A man that is begging for his life for these psychopaths to stop beating him and torturing him. But they don't because they are Federal workers, well im a federal employee in the federal law enforcement area, and I even say those bp agents were out of line. Yes I know this case is done and gone but it still upsets me, that men that are payed to protect the USA are here beating up Americans because they exercise there god given right. These stupid bp wannabes did it cause they think they have an " I can do whatever I want and get away with it badge". Doesn't work that way you jackasses.
Steve Anderson abusing taxpayers??? By asserting his constitutional rights as a citizen of the United States? I suppose if you are a supporter of a police state where the "authorities" are always right, even when they abuse their power and are corrupt, and do not honor the law they are sworn to uphold, it would make sense that you would make such an absurd comment.
I may disagree with this pastor's theology, but I do have enough inteligence to realize that the same Constitution that protects him also protects me from unreasonable search and seizure, as well as other basic human dignities! I feel sorry for you because you lack a sense of dignity, so I'm certain you will cooperate without question when one day you are the target of police abuse!
your nandy-pandy, N. Korean wife of some bad phoenix cop-comment makes me glad my woman is alive with Truth and Christ-like intelligence. Stop drinking the media's kool-aide and wake up!!
If you KNEW the course we, as a nation are headed you'd THANK Mr. Anderson for spilling his blood in the name of our Constitution and RIGHTS as Americans!!
Glad to see Brock learned how to add / subtract, now if he could only learn some decent reasoning skills...
author is obviously the wife or something of a cop. she has about the same grasp of the english language as most Leos. America hasn't turned their backs on Leos, Leos have turned their backs on America.
"These people has a job to do..." Typo?
What job is being referenced? Please dear lady, tell us. Some how I do not think that parking 50 or 60 miles from the border will do much to keep drugs out of the USA.
You need to read about the Revolutionary War a bit more. From their pulpits many Pastors railed against despotic British rule. Many of them fought and died for you and your liberties. You need to rethink your attack on this brave man.
Last I read, these check points are UN-Constitutional. What about the oath to up hold the Constitution? Is not that part of the job? Or did they take that part of the oath and trash it? Was upholding the Constitution even a part of the oath?? "We are just following orders" sounds eerily familiar. Oh yeah, the Nuremberg trials.
Do you not realize that to detain anyone, a LEO must have probable cause. What probable cause do these LEOs have for pulling over EVERY ONE?? Hoping to get lucky by pulling over EVERY ONE at a check point is NOT found in what is SUPPOSED TO BE the supreme law of the US, our Constitution. In real life LEO agencies only have authority to go after INDIVIDUALS, NOT GROUPS driving on high ways unless they have probable cause that a group is committing a crime. IF they FOLLOWED THE LAW, they would have to show probable cause for each INDIVIDUAL pulled over at the illegal check points. I find it rather difficult to believe that EVERY ONE driving on the highway is part of a criminal group.
Dear LEO who may be reading this: (DHS, FBI & CIA come to mind.:-) )
Do you not care that you are being used to bring about a fascist state? Do you not care that you are enforcing UN-Constitutional activities by manning check points? Do you not realize that your freedom is being lost as well as ours???? I hope you are not so brainwashed that you cannot see what is going on. If you think that trading your families freedom as well as yours and mine is a good idea...well, God please help these people.
"I was just following orders" is a weak excuse for trashing the Constitution and individual liberties. What the person said about checkpoints will be common place is spot on. You LEOs have a tough enough job without being turned into Benedict Arnolds who betray the supreme law of the USA, the Constitution.
If you can cooperate with the destruction of the USA and not feel a twinge of conscience, then IMO the USA is more lost to the NWO than even I thought. If your pay check is more important than the Constitution...
Once our own citizens in law enforcement are turned on their fellow citizens...
God help the USA !!

You are a fascist troll. Why don't you go over to the Faux News website with the all the other fans of the police state? Eric New
Tanya,
You would do very well in North Korea, They are always in need of the drone mentality. I would gladly pay your way should you go.
Cheers!LoL! "Man of God" Great Men Have ALWAYS fought against Tyranny. Even Jesus lost his temper with the Tyrannical Bankers! "Resistance to Tyrants is Obedience to God" WAKE UP! (I know she won't ever see this, just poppin off at the fact someone so ignorant would write such garbage!)
As you said "These people has a job to do, and they are trying to do it." Yes they may have a job to do but it is not beating up the citizens of the US! Why is that not clear to you! If you were assaulted like he was you would have a different frame of mind.
What is disturbing is the idea by one of the commentators that for the sake of their convenience, we should all just suck up the abuse by 'govt. officials'.
That's not how the freedom thing works. The Pastor is standing up for all of our rights. Good for him!
Amen, sister!
Bah bah bahhh baaahhh bah bah Bleat!
Hi Tanya, the problem is not the Pastor Anderson Holding up traffic it is the border Patrol and their internal checkpoints THAT are not at the BORDER! They are supposed to be patrolling the BORDER. I-8 does not intersect the border so there is no reason for them to be there. The Good Pastor Anderson is doing the right thing and ASSERTING HIS RIGHTS to unreasonable search and seizure. When one mans Rights are usurped then rights of all people are usurped!
