"The federal government has suspended door-to-door interviews in the area where a U.S. census worker was found hanged from a tree in rural Kentucky," writes Sarah Netter at ABCNews.

"The FBI is investigating whether Bill Sparkman, 51, was the victim of anti-government sentiment. His body was found near a cemetery in Clay County Sept. 12 with the letters 'Fed' scrawled in his chest," says Netter.

"Predictably, the usual suspects are suggesting that Rush Limbaugh threw the rope over the branch and Glenn Beck tied the knot," notes Confederate Yankee.

"The only problem with this theory," writes CY, is "lack of evidence, lack of evience, and lack of evidence."

CY suspects "that when they do find a motive, it will have very little to do with politics and quite a bit to do with him stumbling across marijuana farming, meth labs, or moonshining."

That seems fair enough. We await further investigation.

Meanwhile, let us not glide too quickly over the phrase "anti-government sentiment."

Millions of Americans today are pro-liberty, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, and pro-Declaration of Independence. They stand at the strategic center of what makes America America.

Theirs is a "yes" that is about respecting choice, self-determination, freedom, and dignity.

But this is also a "no." Not a "no" to "government," but a "no" to tyranny. The "sentiment" is anti-slavery, not anti-government.

As our Founders understood, there is a difference between self-government in community with a Creator who endows all of us with "certain unalienable rights," as opposed to oppressive government that imposes a train of un-Constitutional abuses from an increasingly alien and inhumane establishment whose political headquarters are located in Washington, D.C.  

Protect life, protect freedom. Love of neighbor in community with our Creator challenges each of us to do both. Evil-doers and slave-masters may not like it, but let love and justice roll down anyway.
