Hit piece on RP4409
Here is a nice hit-piece on fellow patriot RP4409. I typed up a lengthy response but it hasn't been posted yet.

Look, I'm no fan of the U.S. Border Patrol. Or of checkpoints. Or of police power in general. I think anyone familiar with this blog knows that.
But it's a tribute to both Obama-hating pastor Steven Anderson and to his Ron Paul-y supporters at the RP4409 YouTube site that they actually make me feel a sort of reluctant sympathy for the U.S. Border Patrol and Yuma cops and AZ DPS and anyone else who has to deal with these wackos.
Anderson, of course, is the Tempe Bible-thumper who wants President Obama to die like a salted snail. He's also the guy who ministers spiritually to liber-tard-ian Christopher "AR-15" Broughton, who wore an assault rifle to where the Prez was speaking outside the Phoenix Convention Center August 17.
RP4409? That's the title preferred by Jason Shelton, RP4409's creator. RP likely stands for the man that he and Freedom's Phoenix's Ernie Hancock worship like a demigod: Congressman Ron Paul. The number 4409? Well, Shelton's told some folks that this stands for the 44th President -- Barack Obama, and the year, 2009.
Pastor Anderson, Shelton, militia pimp Hancock, RP4409, the liber-tard party, et al., are so intertwined with each other that you'd practically need a Venn diagram to understand how they overlap.
Take this incident that allegedly took place August 5 at a Round Table Pizza parlor in Yuma. As you can see in the video above, the 4409 crew approached two lunching Border Patrol agents, and asked them if they are American citizens and have the i.d. to prove it.

All Stephan Lemons knows is
All Stephan Lemons knows is hit pieces. His articles are like a 12 year old girls high school gossip column.
He writes for The Phoenix New Times (a free, crappy liberal advertisement paper). They have so little money that there are usually only two articles in the entire paper and the rest filled with adds for strip clubs.
By the way, 4409 and Ernest Hancock have said to me, they DO NOT endorse Pastor Anderson's comments about Obama.
And also, neither 4409, Ernie or Anderson are apart of the Libertarian Party (as Lemons claims). Anderson isn't even a "small l" libertarian!
What a hack this "writer"
What a hack this "writer" is! If he did even 10 seconds of research he would know RP4409 stands from Ron Paul meetup group # 4409. It has nothing to do with Obama (who wasn't elected yet) and it was founded before 2009.
I love the 4409's videos! They are always entertaining and inspiring.
Actually RP4409 stands for,

Google let's me down again. But why 09 when the election was in 2008?

I've got the balls... I just wish I had the time and money to devote. Unfortunately I have to spend 40+ hours and 7 hours each week commuting to and sitting at work. By the time I get home and feed the animals, myself and pick up the house, I have to go to bed so I can do it all over again.
I want the time to be able to be an activist.
