You go first

Posted on by

The present Secretary General of the United Nations seems to think that world hunger can be eliminated if the wealthy nations, meaning successful and civilized, send more food and money to the poorer nations, meaning failed and uncivilized. If he thinks that is such a good idea, I suggest he try first by doing this. As I have said many times before if you are a leader then get out front and lead. Sell off the assets of the United Nations, give up his personal fortune, and have all the like-minded Ambassadors and their staff do the same thing and send the money to the poor nations of the world and see how the money is spent. Will they buy food or weapons? Probably weapons, and there will still be no food, they would simply be armed and hungry, hunger would not be solved with that amount of money. A bad idea. Try this idea, divide the money in halves, use one half to purchase food and send it to them, and send the other half in cash. No, that would not work either. They would simply eat up all the food sent to them and buy weapons with the cash, once again hungry but only half as well armed. Another bad idea. Here is another idea, take the money you gathered up and buy only food and send it to them, they would simply eat up all the food you sent them, and in short order would be hungry once again. Waiting, starving and expecting another hand-out. Another bad idea. The Palestinian people are the best example of this, They want their own country, they could have had their own country, all that was required was to recognize Israel. They will not do that. They could be farming their own land and harvesting their own food. But they will not do that. Israel has found away to farm the desert and could have taught the Palestinians to do the same, but no all the Palestinians grow in the desert are terrorists and wait for the world to feed them. There is an old saying, Give a man a fish he eats for a day, Teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime. The countries of the world that are starving have made that choice, or their governments chose that path for them. North Korea is another fine example, they simply blackmail the world into feeding them. They produce and purchase weapons with what little wealth they have and then demand that the world feed them. And finally this the terrorists seem to be better fed than the masses. I have not seen any emaciated terrorists firing their AK-47’s, they all look rather healthy and well fed to me. Now who do you feed with your food programs? Find a better use for the money you spend, actually waste. One other thing about the food given to poor underfed countries, it is a weapon turned on those you intended to help.

The present head and leader of the Catholic Church seems to think that poverty around the world can be eliminated by the process of wealth redistribution. I point this out again, you are a leader, get out front and lead, you go first. Sell off the assets of the church and give up your personal wealth, gather it all up and send all the poor and equal share and see what you get for your efforts. How will they use the money? How soon before they are once again poor? The only way you and the church have so much is because of what, poor people making donations, or was it the wealthy supporting the church. No poor man ever gave another a job. Before you start sending money all over the world consider this it can be a useful tool or a powerful weapon, or put another way a servant or master.

All these “good ideas” of ending hunger and poverty will only bring the world to ruin, or is this what you intend. You can not help them that will not help themselves. No amount of food, money, programs and government interference can fix the problems of the world, the people have to do that. Instead of creating a world of dependence, teach independence. But if you truly believe your ideas will work, you go first and tell us how it worked out. They both stink of communism.

And this, coming back from visiting my mother today, listening to the radio, yep talk radio, I heard the most amazingly stupid thing from the host on the 3pm to 6pm slot. The host was all in favor and supporting the stupid idea that the U.S. Military Special Forces be the one to go to Nigeria and rescue the kidnapped girls. I am constantly astonished by the fact that people who have not even served one day in the military are so willing to send young men and women into harms way. Do this enlist and put on the uniform, follow all lawful orders even if you disagree with them, live the life or shut up.

Another seeminly good idea that will cause unintended consequences

Posted on by

I watched a video recently concerning a planned rally in Gettysburg, at the battlefield, with the plans to show, no prove, to America and the World that Whites are not racists. The races mainly Black and White will “stand shoulder to shoulder” in a demonstration to the world that racism is dead in America. Just think a Rally to prove that racism is dead at the place where slavery was abolished, an appropriate symbol you would think. Seems like a good idea, right? No, it is yet another bad idea. Why do the citizens of America, of all races, have to prove anything to anybody? The first word and indeed the proper title of this country should answer all questions, and prove to the world that we are United, not just the States united, but all of America united.

Even if this rally were to prove to America and the World that racism were indeed dead, what rally would be planned next to disprove the next allegation of an “ism” or an “ist” being leveled against a person. What sort of rally would be needed to disprove as allegation of being a “sexist” when a woman is criticized? Where could it be held? What kind or rally would be needed if a person was labeled a “racist sexist”? Where could it be held? The allegations and personal reputation assaults of being labeled a “racist” or a “sexist” is driven by what? These allegations are most often used by liberals and mainly used when they can not prove their point and begin losing the debate.

Why then does a person have to disprove the allegations of being called and even labeled an “ist” of any sort, or accused in engaging in an “ism” of any sort? Why has the burden of proof shifted from the accuser to the accused? If you label someone then prove it damn it.

Sadly racism and all the other labels used to destroy lives in America are not dead. Why is that you ask? Some people earn a considerable living keeping them alive, people who have lost relevancy in life if they ever were relevant to start with. Constantly stirring the pot, so to speak, blaming other races or sexes for their failures because they were held back, paid less or just plain left behind. This is America you have, or at least had, Freedoms and Liberties like no other place on earth and squandered all of them to listen, follow and believe in someone who used you and are in fact they are the very ones who held you back and prevented you from accomplishing all that you could have accomplished in your life. How you ask? They threw a “pity party”, you were invited, and you came? To think someone like that claims to be a leader.

The “select committee” on Benghazi will cause a fusillade of accusations like no other, but the truth must be told.

The federal government is a powerful and fearsome tool against the citizens, not so much against our true enemies,radical Islamic terrorists

Posted on by

The former Secretary of State did not label and identify the radical Islamic terrorist group Boko Harum a terrorist organization or group, which has now set about kidnapping young school age girls. This group has now threatened to sell the girls on the open market. The excuse that they were not identifying them as a terrorist group because it would draw attention to them and possibly influencing recruitment of more radicals into the group, is absurd. Could this be one of the terrorist organizations that BHO said were only JV? I fail to understand why BHO and his administration fear offending the radical Islamic terrorists. Surely by now BHO and his administration have seen or heard the stories of what happens to children and women under radical Islamic law, girls suffer genital mutilation, boys are raped, women are suppressed, oppressed have no rights to an education or pursuit of a career and are second or even third class humans, falling behind livestock and possessions in importance. Homosexuals are routinely killed. Women who are raped are beaten or stoned to death for the crime of being a victim. What happens to a woman who defends herself and kills her attacker? What happens to the ones with birth defects, or have extreme mental health issues, or are the wrong sect of the state religion when caught by a group of the other sect of the same religion? What happens when they catch a Christian? So much for the religion of peace. BHO and his administration are attempting the make a friend of something they do not understand, or do they. They may be using each other, to some end.

The present Senate Majority Leader wasted no time in labeling and identifying the Patriots who went to Bunkerville, NV domestic terrorists. What would be the benefit of labeling someone a domestic terrorist. The FBI would be free to investigate you. The IRS would surely audit you. Would the NDAA be used against you? The NSA would monitor you, even closer than before. The full weight and force of the federal government would be brought down on you for doing the right thing, when it should be brought to bear on the real terrorists, the radical Islamic terrorists, the true enemies.

I ask this of the liberals in Washington D.C. in general and the liberals in America in Particular, which would you choose for a friend? A true Patriot that stands for right no matter the cost to him or her, or an enemy who when has no more use of you cuts off your head and them begins on your children and grandchildren. Choose one.

I’ll take the Patriots any day, they are with you and will stand by you through “thick and thin” and will ask nothing of you. That is what it means or should mean to be an American.

Unintended consequences

Posted on by

Unintended consequences will always come to light, soon after the good idea, or what was thought to be one, is either passed into law or made mandatory by the administration.

The 18th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished liquor may have seemed like a good idea to some in 1919, turned out to be a bad idea for all. I have thought on and studied this idiotic idea and can not come up with even one thing that would be a positive consequence. First revenue. The government was voluntarily giving up a source of revenue, every thing is taxed in one way or another and most are taxed repetitively. Second unemployment. The people who were employed at the breweries and distilleries suddenly found themselves unemployed. Third more lost revenue. The people who lost their jobs could not spend as they had nothing to spend, thereby effecting the economy of the surrounding areas. How many people lost their jobs, because others found themselves without a job. The truck drivers were not delivering goods to warehouses, stores or establishments, fewer people were going to restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Less delivery trucks were needed, how many in the automotive industry, manufacturing or repairs, found themselves out of work because of decreased demand. Service stations as they were known in those days were effected as there was less demand for fuel. How many lives were effected by lost wages? How much total revenue was lost during this time? The ripple effect of even one industry closing has effects out as far as the eye can see. Fourth the borders to the north and south were not secure then, the same as now. Canada and Mexico were still brewing and distilling, thereby providing a product that was still very much in demand, and profiting greatly from the stupidity of another. Fourth crime. Say hello to “bootleggers” and organized crime and a dramatically elevated crime rate. Fifth the Great Depression. Could the Great Depression have been prevented or lessened to a Deep Recession had the 18th Amendment never happened? Possibly. One thing for sure with the passage of the 21st Amendment in 1933, which repealed the 18th Amendment, a lot of people went to work earning wages, paying taxes and supporting the local economy, just 14 years earlier the 18th amendment seemed like such a good idea. 14 years of lost wages and revenue, for what, government’s good idea!!!!!!!! And finally you caused normally good and decent law-abiding citizens to participate in criminal activity just by enjoying a cold one or two after a long hard days work, just because you had a good idea, or so you thought.

Demanding that motor vehicles get better fuel mileage has had unintended consequences. Less revenue for the government, as less fuel is purchased, less highway taxes and less other taxes are paid. Less money is available for road repair, resurfacing or just plain improvements. The expression of “infrastructure decay” began shortly after government demands for increased fuel economy. People are still buying fuel, but motor vehicles getting better mileage combined with the constantly increasing prices has made the dollars go less distance, in other word words the cars are going farther on shorter roads. The demands on automakers to increase fuel mileage will soon if not already have a detrimental effect on safety, yet another unintended consequence. The vehicles are getting better fuel mileage, buying less fuel which leads to paying less highway taxes, using the highways and the highways and roads are needing repair. Now What? You want to place toll booths on the interstates. Where will the money come from to build the toll-booths up and down the many interstates? If there is no money for repairs, where will toll booth construction dollars come from. Will you steal it out of some other pile of money? Will you simply borrow it from some foreign government? How will you pay the many people who will be hired to support another money grabbing operation, after all they will surely be employed by some government agency? Will you claim that these jobs were created to repair the infrastructure of America? Then there is this “good idea” you have, highway usage taxes paid at the time of purchasing fuel. How the hell will you figure that? Will a lighter vehicle pay less than a heavy one, after all lighter vehicles cause less wear and tear. Or do they, their sheer numbers cause a lot of wear and tear. For me to get to town I use a combination of the following, a private road, that I alone maintain without any of your infrastructure dollars, a county road, cross over another county road and a state road, the last three are paid for with fuel purchases. How much more do you want? You should have thought about the loss of and less revenue, before demanding better fuel mileage. But that would have required thought, but you are incapable of that, so you would have paid tax dollars for a study or a commission to do that for you. Think about this many states get a lot of revenue from motor vehicle tags, people will stop making trips of less importance and may even eliminate the second or third car, having the unintended consequence of states losing revenue because of less motor vehicle registrations. Fewer vehicles on the road means less fuel purchases, thus compounding the problem and on and on it goes. What tax or fee will you seek next to make up another shortage that you alone caused? You are not capable of thought on your own, therefore you are unworthy to lead, you are too proud to follow, so do us all a favor and just get the hell out-of-the-way and let the private sector fix this and all the other unintended consequences you have caused, give them room and let them go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On your stupidity on gun control. You were never about controlling crime, you are about citizen control and making law-abiding citizens as dependent on government as your voluntary slaves are. The population of Americans that own firearms do so and the reasons run the entire gamut, from just to piss you off, self-defense, hunting or just to collect and preserve a piece of history, maybe an heirloom. Think on this for a moment. People do hunt, the money used to purchase licenses from the states for hunting are used to by various agencies within the state for wildlife management, and in some that is their only source of revenue. Again how many people would their jobs that depend on hunting? How many jobs depend on hunters? Gas stations, restaurants and even some large chain stores, not to mention entire industries that support hunting, clothing and the like. Not only that how many jobs would be lost in the firearms manufacturing industry and those that support it, manufacturers of ammunition and the like, and the ones that depend on it, shop owners. Who would occupy the empty buildings? Did you not learn anything from the 18th Amendment. Our economy is fragile, bordering on if not already in another recession, and the loss of an industry as large as the firearms industry would send us into another depression, even larger than the last. Say hello to crime again. As I said you are about population control not crime control, this path you are on will do the same as the 18th Amendment did, make criminals out of normally law-abiding citizens. As for me you will have to want to take it more than I want to keep it. The criminals will always be criminals and will seek the easiest victim or target.

I did not mention Benghazi, the IRS, Fast and Furious, Obamacare and the rest because of one important thing they all have in common. There were no unintended consequences in any of them. BHO and his administration knew exactly what they were doing and did not care about the consequences. This is best demonstrated by the demands and actions of the “elected” current leader of Afghanistan, he demanded money, a sort of “tribute”, for each “civilian” killed by military actions in that lovely country, and he was paid. He as a responsible leader should have done his best to protect the population by ensuring their safety, but instead he viewed them as a positive cash flow, and did nothing to ensure their safety, while he held up in a palace that was more of a fortress, safe and secure. There have been reports that he may be “coming to America”, Afghanistan might be unkind to him. But if he comes, will he be alone, or will many, many friends come with him? I close with this concerning the payments of “tribute”. Three important things about Libya, the airstrike that killed an armored vehicle occupied by insurgents, the theft of equipment at an American supply depot, unguarded of course, and finally the murder of 4 Americans, where after over 20 months not a single person responsible has been captured or killed. Did the administration pay a “tribute”?

Conservative versus Liberal logic

Posted on by

Today I spent the tidy sum of $1,623.16 on a tires, shocks, struts and an alignment on a truck that is over 14 years old with well over 300,000 miles that on a good day only gets 17 mile per gallon.

Conservative logic. My truck has been paid off for well over 12 years and still runs great but the paint is a little faded and chipped in places. Why would I replace something that still works and is dependable? I bought it as it was being unloaded from the car hauler, other than 1.6 miles they are all my miles, even smoked in it on the test drive before signing the papers, sure shocked the salesman.

Liberal logic. I could have saved myself $1,623.16 in repair costs. I could have bought a new truck that would have come with new tires, shocks, struts and would have already been aligned, plus it would have fresh new paint and as a bonus it might get 20 mile per gallon. Just think I would have a new truck with a warranty, new parts and would get better gas mileage and would only cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $48,000. I could probably get 0% financing for 6 or 7 years saving a ton of money on interest, and I would buy gas less often.

Conservative logic. How long would I have to drive a new truck making monthly payments and only getting 3 miles per gallon more than my old truck that was paid for just to get my $48,000 back? By then it would surely need new tires, shocks, struts, alignment and no telling what else. Then what, by another new one? Using liberal logic I sure could save a lot of money on repairs, but I sure would be in debt forever. As long as mine runs and remains dependable I will continue to drive it and save me $48,000 in the mean time. Who knows it may last me a lifetime, think of the money I save using Conservative logic.

Liberal logic. There IS NONE!!!!!!!

Conservative logic. Do not wait until something is broken to fix it. Fix or repair something that is breaking. It costs less in the long run. Broken things can cause collateral damage, drastically raising the cost, possibly to a level that can not be affordable.

Conservative advice. Fix our breaking country.

Try it.

Try it.

What will happen when dawn breaks over Washington , District of Criminals?

Posted on by

Monday morning should prove to be an interesting time in Washington, D.C. to say the very least. BHO who was probably planning a golf outing, Friday’s revelations may have upset his plans. Maybe this is his “humpty dumpty” moment, but again he has had since Friday to prepare for Monday. He is going to need a really big distraction to avoid what is surely coming. But, who or what will provide cover? Which one of his minions will “fall on the sword” for this one, if needed? Something on a grand scale will be needed to draw the media attention away, no you won’t need to draw the media away they support you enthusiastically and even help spread your lies. You will need a way or reason to delay or prevent the congressional hearings in the House of Representatives that may already be planned. What event could cause America, the ones that want and demand answers, to become so distracted as to lose interest. Could one of you “friends” take it upon him or herself to cause a distraction for you? Could an event be staged that would place Washington, D.C. on lockdown? Yep, that would buy you another day or two, but would be obvious as hell. Could the daily press conference be cancelled or postponed? Yep, your mouthpiece could even call in sick, again obvious as hell. Could your “big money” friends cause a big sell-off on Wall Street in turn causing a run on the Banks? Oh yeah, now that would buy you a lot of time, again obvious as hell, the stock market was doing splendidly. Could Malaysian Airlines flight MH 370 all of a sudden turn up in a satellite photo in a country that is hostile towards the West, being loaded with a nuclear weapon or any weapon of mass destruction, and ready for flight? Now that would require some serious explaining. You could announce that the nuclear waste dump was on fire and would have to evacuate many thousands of square miles of the west. Nope already had that one, wasted it. The BLM could descend on Bunkerville again, with different rules of engagement, after all some of the people who Harry claimed to be “domestic terrorists” are still in the area. That would require a lot of explaining also. There are endless possibilities that could provide a distraction and buy time, but eventually, as your favorite reverend said, “the chickens have come home to roost”. My advice, “man-up” tell the truth about Benghazi and all the rest, then “just let the chips fall where they may”, you do it don’t send a mouthpiece. I’ll be getting up early regardless.

Proving grounds, their uses and lessons learned

Posted on by

The World and even America has turned from modernization and civilization to becoming the proving ground for ideas.

The Ukraine has provided the latest proving ground of ideas. But why, was it intended to test ideas to be used here in America? The Ukraine as a “democracy” has had a very short life since the collapse of the U.S.S.R. The protests against an abusive and corrupt government, began as just that a protest. How did a protest turn so violent so fast? The same as it has always been done, agitators were introduced. What was the “final straw” by the government against the people? We will never know that answer. What was the original intent of the protests? We will never know that answer, either? The reason we will never know the answers is simple, they no longer matter and were never reported on earnestly. But they do matter and should be reported on. The protests in The Ukraine did not begin with the burning of buildings. One thing for certain, is that if they had originally intend to overthrow the government, they had no plan for what comes next. The federal government missed one important thing, The Crimea, they never even thought that a country would voluntarily rejoin with Russia as a subject country. This one thing changed the whole “game”, The Ukraine is so destabilized it also too may be lost to Russia. Now The Ukraine has an “interim” government. Where did they come from and how did they get appointed? Were they appointed by the people or were they selected by outside influences? Are the people satisfied with the new government? By the reaction of the people I would say that they are not. The Russian Pro-Separatists as they have been labeled are the catalyst provided by intervention. But who are they? They were first claimed to be Russian soldiers, turned out they were not Russian at all. Now the violence has spread throughout the country and will surely spread to neighboring countries. At what point will the “interim” government be forced to declare “martial Law” and who will decide for them? Time will tell. This proving ground is still providing lessons and those may prove to be catastrophic for America and the World. At some point Russia will step in either because they chose to or were left no choice.

While the “Crisis in The Ukraine” was developing and receiving 24 hour coverage, what similar event was unfolding here in America? Federal government over-reach, Bunkerville and The BLM. What was the reason for the sudden aggressive action by the BLM, the case has been in court and ongoing for years? What was the intent of the BLM, after all they are an arm of the federal government? Does the federal government have the answers to the questions above concerning the Ukraine? You bet they do. Was Bunkerville a test? You bet it was. Did the federal government get what they wanted? Yes and No. They now know that some in America will “stand their ground”. Did they set off a string of protests where instigators could be used to escalate the protest into violence? No. Will the federal government try something else? Definitely. What will they try next? That depends on the proving grounds. Is the media complicit in this? You bet they are. They have turned regional news stories into national news, if it fits their true agenda. This is best illustrated by the number of national news stories about firearms being used in citizen on citizen acts of violence. Is there a sudden increase in shootings, or just an increase in reporting? There may be the occasional report of a knife or similar implement being used if there are enough victims or if the act is brutal enough. The firearm use will be reported on if even there was only one victim. The use of a firearm in the act of self-defense will never make national news, and only get a short, if any, mention in regional news. People are murdered everyday around the world with many items other than with firearms, some are even murdered with hammers and other common items used in daily life but these acts will never make the headlines. One has to ask why, the answer is simple, their true agenda, they pick and choose.

The federal government has been “provided” with, and have even “provided” themselves with many other proving grounds to test their ideas and theories.

Libya was handed to BHO compliments of the E.U., our government had no “beef” with Libya or it’s dictator, yet we attacked. The rebels and insurgents were armed to fight against the government forces of the dictator. The dictator was overthrown and killed, a temporary government of sorts was put in power, again by who. Who are these people are they Libyans or are they some convenient surrogate? The federal government even established diplomatic relations with the new temporary government, even set up a diplomatic mission and embassy. Then the Ambassador and three other Americans were murdered. The administration and even BHO claimed it started as a protest over an internet video, knowing that it was a terrorist attack. The lie and the cover-up of the lie are just now coming into light, but I know that this will only serve to reveal all of the other ugly truths about the lies and will expose what else BHO and the administration are hiding. What was promised to the Libyan temporary government? What did the Libyan government promise in exchange for help? Other than weapons, what were they given? The lesson learned from this proving ground is the following. You can take a country from it citizens and give it to whom ever you choose.

Syria is a great proving ground. The masses attempting to overthrow an evil dictator, even better it is a dynasty, passed down from generation to generation, much like North Korea. The protests began peaceful enough the people making demands on government, then for some reason or because of outside influences the protests became violent. The rebels, insurgents or what ever you want to call them have been battling with government forces for over two years, and even come close yet. When the news broke that chemical weapons had been used in Syria, which incidentally was the “red line” that BHO had drawn in the sand the insurgents expected an immediate response from BHO. My position on the use of chemical weapons, the correct term when a weapon is used by the military is deployed, was that the insurgents were getting their “asses” handed to them , they deployed the weapons and blamed the government forces. This was the beginning of BHO using the expression “there will be consequences”. BHO could have done in Syria the same as he did in Libya as just ordered an attack, but he wanted help or a promise of help from the E.U. in return for his actions in Libya, the E.U. said no. BHO was stuck, he went to congress for approval. Then Putin and Russia stepped up in defense of Syria after all Russia has a Naval base in Syria. This proving ground provide the following lesson. Do not try to intimidate a country that has a big and powerful ally. Have you noticed lately the increasing trend of “pissing off” our friends and allies. Is BHO trying to alienate us and leave us alone with no friends to help should we have difficulties? Think about it.

Egypt is by far the best proving ground to date. The Arab Spring gave the world Egypt. The protests started like all others peaceful, then because of some event or outside influences they turned violent. The President of Egypt, think of him as you may, was a good ally helping to keep peace and order in the Middle-East. BHO said that the people have spoken and Mubarak had to go for the good of Egypt, a country that had been stable for years and held the Muslim Brotherhood at bay. Mubarak gave up power and the force his government held at bay for years was unleashed on Egypt. The brotherhood made life in Egypt unbearable on the Egyptians, the Egyptian military told the newly elected president, who as it happens was a muslim brotherhood leader, to get things right and gave him a time limit to get it done. Morsi the elected President, and leader of the muslim brotherhood, did not heed the warning. The Egyptian military arrested Morsi, removed him from office and took control of the Egyptian government. BHO and his administration went “nuts” demanding that Morsi be restored to power and the rightful and duly elected Egyptian government be re-instated. Lesson learned from this proving ground. Do not let the Military be large enough to remove you from power. Did you notice that not long after the Egyptian military removed Morsi from power, BHO and his minions began the plan to reduce the size of the U.S. military. Since the muslim brotherhood was rounded-up, contained and tried for crimes against Egypt and sentenced to death, all of them, BHO and his minions have said very little in regards to Egypt. Egypt may even realign with Russia, lost another friend and ally. What was the brotherhood promised by BHO for him to be such a steadfast supporter? What did the brotherhood offer to BHO for his friendship? We may soon find out.

Afghanistan though began as a noble effort turned into a proving ground for advanced weaponry. Who or what countries now possess those weapons? Who or what are their intended targets? Who got sold out?

You were wrong again, you will try again and on and on it goes

Posted on by

An open letter to Liberal Politicians in particular, and all politicians in general, even the aspiring ones.

Don’t get me wrong, I admire persistence, but not stupidity. Another shooting in a gun free zone, there are and will be arguments about whether or not an armed citizen could have stopped the shooter, that is the wrong question. The question here is why do you support and encourage criminal acts such as these? The fact of the matter is that you give the criminal everything that is needed in one neat package, victims with no means of defense, and yet you somehow avoid the blame. Do I think that every citizen should be armed? Absolutely not is my answer. The people should be making that choice for themselves, you have no right to make it for them, one way or the other. Unless prohibited by law, everyone that wants to keep and bear arms should be able to, after all the Constitution doesn’t disallow it and the Second Amendment is only a guarantee that the federal government can not infringe upon the right, but again that law is already with us and the criminals break that one, the next one will fare no better. No matter how many laws you pass and enact the only effect you will see from your efforts is continued criminal behavior. Your gun control efforts only provide a greater number of victims. Why are there so many victims? The answer is government provides them. Law abiding citizens obey the law, criminals do not. If you truly believe that guns are so evil why do you seek to enact laws that disarm the civilian population while at the same time seeking to provide more and better arms to law enforcement and the military? If guns are so evil, why do some of you own firearms? If guns are so evil, why do you have an armed security detail? Why are you constantly attempting and sometimes enacting legislation that only effect the lawful and never the unlawful? You see yourselves as leaders, but you do not have any idea what a leader is. Let me spell it out for you. A leader does just that they lead, and they lead from the front, setting the example. Show me that you are a leader, on your gun control measures, turn yours in, get rid of the armed security detail, enforce the laws on the books and really get down to the business of punishing criminals, then we can sit down and talk. As a matter of fact, do this with all your legislation, if it is such a good idea, be a good leader, you go first. No you will not do that, there will always be something hidden in the fine print that leaves you an out. One final question. What are you so afraid of? While I wait for the answers to the questions above, consider this, tell the truth to the people. I know full well that the answers will never come, the same as I know that you will not tell the truth to the people. Permit me to do this for you, I will tell them the truth which will provide the answers. The legislation you enact is not about providing a service or fulfilling a need, it only to control the population, continue to grow government and promote the culture of government dependence, while at the same time insulating yourselves and padding your wallets. The real and ugly truth is that you do nothing to control crime, if crime was eliminated you would have no further need to continue arming law enforcement. You seek to continue the march towards a Police State as the new America, where only the police, military and criminals have weapons, but where do you fit into this, you are not law enforcement and you are not in the military, only leaves one option doesn’t it. You will enact a law giving you law enforcement powers, that is a scary thought the law makers as the law enforcers. I seem to remember a country somewhere and sometime in history where the law makers were the enforcers, no wait, there have been many of them. They all had one thing in common, a really high mortality rate, seems the population had no means of self-defense. In the end there may only two kinds of people outside of government, victims and criminals, the criminals will be divided into two groups, true criminals and the former law-abiding citizens that you and your efforts have forced to become criminals because they would not and could not allow themselves or their families to become victims. The victims will be the victims of the true criminals, just as it has always been, they will never be the victims of the law-abiding, just as it has also always been. There will be only one kind of person inside government and since you seek to have all of the weapons you can not be the victim, leaves only one option doesn’t it. I leave you with this, you are not special, you have been entrusted with a special job, one that was never meant to be a career, you are a politician not a Statesman, you are a public servant not the master of the public, name calling is a sign of a weak position and is usually done by children on the playground when they lose, you have no right to make your opinion and views the law of the land, you have no right to exempt yourself from the law, America is great and special because of the people not the government and lastly America belongs to the people not the government.

An open letter to Business Owners.

Do you have the right to refuse service? Absolutely. Do you have the right to refuse access? Absolutely. Do you have the right to post a no firearms allowed sign at you Business? Absolutely. Do you provide an endless supply of victims? Absolutely. Will I do any commerce with you or your Business? Absolutely NOT. Now, this may be your own business or you may simply be the manager of a national chain that has a no gun policy. You may not in your private life be anti-gun, you chose to work there and in order to keep your job you must follow company policy. Unless you are moocher there is an understanding, you don’t work, you don’t eat. But, if this is your own business and that is your personal policy, for what ever reason, religious or political, you need to set the example, you are supposedly a type of leader. Do you post the same sign on the front door to your home? No, Well, why not, are you afraid that it will invite criminals into your home? You invited them to your business. Regardless, if there is a no-gun policy at your workplace, there are many resources available, courses of instruction if you will, that teach self-defense without a firearm. You could find these courses and offer them to the employees instead of leaving them totally defenseless. My point here is to teach Self-Defense and stop this stupid and dangerous practice of “shelter-in-place”. It is much harder to hit a moving target. I am not saying or even suggesting that someone run headlong into a hail of fire, or the path of a slashing knife or whatever the criminal chose as the tool of their trade, what I am saying is that there are already tools available at the workplace that can be deployed as a self-defense weapon, no one knows of them. Why, because they were never taught, so teach them, or have a professional do it for you and the criminals will never see it coming, force must be met with force, overwhelming if possible. The question of the ages is this, if you truly hate guns, why do you constantly call someone with a gun to your gun-free zone that has one, or are they welcome because they have a gun and a badge. The reason you had to call them in the first place is that you denied someone the same thing that they bring with them and you even advertised it inviting trouble. And finally this, you deny a law-abiding group which is the people who choose to exercise their Constitutional rights from your place of business and the liberals cheer you on. But if you deny a group that is on the approved government list of those that must be protected, even if just placed on the approved list, or give money to a cause that you support or supported at sometime in the past that was not, but is now is on the list of those needing protection, the same liberals that cheered you on for denying one will demand your head on a silver platter if you deny the other. I leave you with this, if you deny me any of my God-given rights or any rights guaranteed by the Constitution I will not be a faithful customer of your establishment, if on the other hand you do not impede or infringe on my rights I will be a faithful customer. I don’t mind paying extra for the same goods and services and will do so gladly. The one thing I will not do is give up any of my rights, God-given or otherwise to save a little money. I may even suffer a horrible fate, but it will not be because I was denied the means to defend myself.

They never intended to, their goal is to disarm the lawful.

A “perfect storm” is on the horizon. Part 2 of a series

Posted on by

This series of posts will address the conditions that have, will and are occurring in America, they are in no particular order, all are important. Some will be based on fact. Some will be based on possibilities. Some will be based on opinion. Some will be based on my life experiences. Some will be based on my interpretation of events. Some will be based on a combination of all. If you are reading this post, you will have to decide which is which and you must arrive at your own conclusions. Some of this post and subsequent posts in this series will cause you to do some research on your own.

The continued erosion and assault on the Bill of Rights. The First Amendment, most often refered to as Freedom of Speech, but it consists of so much more than just Freedom of Speech. It also prohibits the establishment of a “state” religion while also allowing the free exercise of religion. It also allows for the Freedom of the Press, the Right for the People to Peaceably Assemble and allows petitions for the redress of grievances against government.

As to the matter of Freedom of Speech, rulings from the Courts have had and will continue to have a detrimental effect on Freedom of Speech as has BHO, his Administration and Congress. It seems that now-a-days Freedom of Speech is allowed only if no one is offended, and even that distinction gets “blurred” and depends on who gets offended and who does the offending. The liberals on the left and right seem to get and are getting leniency when they say something that may seem to some people as being out-of-line. The conservatives get no leniency for anything they say. To further complicate the Freedom of Speech issue we now have “hate speech”, “inflammatory speech” and “slurs” it has even been ruled that a slogan or a design on a tee-shirt can be speech and therefore can be controlled if someone gets offended. The politicians and the courts have set about dividing, separating and yes even segregating speech the same as they have done with America. There is no longer Freedom of Speech in America, because speech must be controlled.
The liberal Secretary of State mentions Israel as Apartheid as is given a “pass” claiming he could have chosen a better word, no he said exactly what he meant, he is a politician. Politicians read from prepared speeches and remarks or a teleprompter. My question to this politician’s WTF were you thinking moment is, Just who the hell is Israel oppressing or suppressing, they hold out a hand in peace only to have it slapped away by yet another unprovoked muslim extremist attack.

As to the matter of a “state” religion. America has had one for a long, long time. The “state” religion is Atheism. The preacher is “politics”. The altar is “big government”. The pews are “government dependence”. The building is “corruption”. In this religion everyone is taught that all ills are cured with money, and any offense can be overcome with money, if it is enough money.

As to the matter of the free exercise of religion, that may soon be a thing of the past, depending on your chosen religion. The courts and politicians will make that decision. The process began with the slow and steady removal of God and Christianity from public schools. The rulings by the courts concerning what is speech has tied Freedom of speech with Religious expression. The Cross that we Christians use as a “symbol” of our religion has been in the courts already. The latest was a piece of metal recovered from the World Trade center in the shape of a cross, it did not matter that is how it was found, what mattered was what it looked like and someone’s interpretation of what it resembled. The excuse that it made life hard for atheists to look at everyday, causing distress in their lives. Religion and Religious symbols are under attack, mostly from the left, these are the same people who claim that they stand for choice and tolerance. They themselves are the most intolerant of all, and as for choice they are good with that if your choice and theirs are the same. If a preacher gives a sermon on life in America, and offers a special prayer for a political candidate, will the IRS descend upon the church. At this point in our government, that will depend if it is a liberal or a conservative candidate, choose wrong and surely they will come. What about church members and their views? If the IRS does descend on a church and remove the tax status will the church survive? There is no Freedom of Speech in Church, unless the church is “favored” by the administration, and the IRS is the enforcer. The Sermon on life in America and the special prayer could lead to many different charges and allegations. If a person claims offense to the sermon or prayer, it can be hate speech, inflammatory speech or a slur, and not only could the IRS come calling it could also bring the DOJ visiting, again depending on if the church is “favored” by the administration.

As to the matter of Freedom of the Press, you were granted freedom, nobody said you had to accurate or honest. Are you operating as the Founding Fathers expected? The answer is a resounding NO! But what the hell, the 16th president imprisoned many before you for printing, representing and believing in the other view and opinion. I figure that many of you are still in shock over that time in history, and not wanting to suffer the same fate, you simply print and believe every thing BHO says or does and any dissent is buried in the back and is usually very small and never repeated. The only time you grow “a pair” is when a republican sits in the White House, which is odd considering the 16th president was the first republican. Surely you do not think that a liberal, tolerance preaching, pro-choice and democratic president would retaliate against you, do you?

As to the matter of peaceful assembly, permits are required, and usually granted if your group is “favored” by the administration, “not favored” need not apply.

As to the matter of Petitions for the redress of grievances. The politicians famously said we simply did not understand, and government knew better. There is no petition for the redress of grievances, it is not allowed. Even the town-hall meetings were a joke you did as you always have and will do, and that is that you do exactly what you want. You will never have to live under the rules and laws you impose on the citizenry. This part was written at a time when Statesmen and not politicians occupied the governmental offices. The holding of Town-Hall and Commission meetings do exactly what their intended purpose was, and that is to give the “illusion” that government cares and wants input from the citizenry before action. In truth the government has already decided and will change their minds only if the path they have set will jeopardize their continued quest for more government control over the life of the citizens and the power it gives them.

The First Amendment is the only one of the Bill of Rights that guarantees any Freedoms. Freedom is not Free, as a matter of fact there is nothing free in this world, someone somewhere in time paid the cost.

The people of America should be celebrating and rejoicing in the fact that we do enjoy Freedom of Speech even in this day of government intrusions, restrictions and division, especially because someone long ago paid the price for you to have that right. The government did not give you the Right to Free Speech, the First Amendment simply prohibited government from abridging the Right. Like all other rights, if you do not exercise it you will lose it. The internet of today gives the people a platform from which to exercise that right. I wish to thank WordPress for giving me that platform. I also wish to thank the readers.

The following is based on my belief, if you do not share it at least be tolerant of it. Just a bit of free speech and religious exercise.

Grace and Salvation are mine, because Jesus Christ, whom I accept and claim as my personal Savior, paid the cost on the Cross for my sins before I was even born. Think about that for a moment. I get to go to Heaven and it cost me nothing, but acceptance of Jesus Christ.
