A nation in decline

A downward spiral as it were.

Immigration. Immigration in times past was a matter of national interest and the nation benefited. Over time immigration became a matter of political interest and the nation suffered.

Legislation. In times past legislation was a national interest. Over time legislation began to be introduced and it was written as a political issue and again the nation suffered.

Laws. There was a time in which legislation became law if not vetoed. Over time opinions became law, opinions made by the unelected, and unaccountable. Also, agencies and departments began to make rule changes, these too are unelected and unaccountable.

Bread and Circus. It no longer matters that the most qualified gets the job. It now matters what is, is not, might be, or was between a person’s legs and the melanin content of the skin. They say the idea is inclusion. Seems to me there is a lot of exclusion going on. Pro-life laws are seen as being cruel to women, yet the ease of abortion is not seen as cruel to the unborn. The criminal is now portrayed as the victim. Punishing the law abiding for the actions of the law breakers.

Some might think the above was written about America. I would ask them if they have ever read the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. If you have and if this were written about America, which chapter would we be in?

Playing out in real time

The government of Ukraine has finally understood something clearly at last. Our founders clearly saw this, those who drafted whatever document that Ukraine operates under should have seen and understood as well.

A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The government is offering to give arms to every citizen who wants one, ID is required. They will be giving citizens “military grade weapons” aka “weapons of war”. Even giving training, as time permits. in weapons use, handling (safety) and tactics. Firearms restrictions are being loosened for private purchase. This may prove to be too little too late. The wolf, or in this case the bear, is not just at the door he is coming through the door.

One question being asked is this. Would Russia have invaded if they would be facing a military and a well-armed civilian population aka Militia? We will never know.

The arming of the civilian population has been covered by the MSM here in America. Even those with an anti-gun agenda. Strangely enough the anti-gun organizations, aka gun control cult, have been strangely silent on civilians having military grade weapons, aka weapons of war. Not just having them but being given to them by the government.

Now I have a question or two. If Ukraine is successful in stopping the Russians and driving them out with the aid of an armed population, will they then seek to disarm their population? Will the Ukrainian government once again put in place gun control measures?

One more question. Will the Ukrainian population who just fought for and defended their country from foreign aggression allow their own government to disarm them?

You can bet your bottom dollar that if the Russians are successful, one of the first things to happen will be a complete and total disarming of the population.

Many in America like to use the phrase “right side of history”. Allow me to use your phrase. The unfolding events in Ukraine prove the Founders correct. They were on the right side of History. Past, Present and yes even Future. This is true no matter the outcome in Ukraine.

Does the deafening silence from the cult of gun control indicate that they may have come to their senses and realized that they have been wrong? Hardly. They are at this moment plotting their next gun rights attack. Even though they are wrong and know it they are too far down this path to say so.

I would tell them to go to Ukraine and witness firsthand the absolute necessity of an armed civilian population, armed with the weapons of war because they at this moment are at war. They are not in a pillow fight. They need and deserve weapons equal to those of the aggressor, I would argue they need and deserve weapons superior to the aggressor. But if they went, they would do their best to tell the Ukrainians they are wrong and do not need weapons of war. They would say that weapons of war do not belong on the streets of Ukraine. Even though the streets of the cities may well become a battle ground. They would say that only the military needs weapons of war, while it is an armed hostile foreign military they are facing. These Ukrainians are in a fight for their very lives.

The way I see the gun control cult is this. You are like the person who feeds the crocodile, you only feed it in hopes it will eat you last. You are willing to surrender but not willing to fight. If surrendering is your thing, fine go ahead. You have a right to surrender, you do not have a right to take me along.

The correct response to the crocodile was to engage and come away with a nice belt, wallet and even a pair of boots.

And this is for the cult of gun control. The difference between you and me and those like me is this. I will defend myself, I will defend my family, I will defend my home, I will defend my State, and I will defend my country should the need arise, I will do all of that and if necessary, I will even defend you. You on the other hand will ask or beg (depending on the circumstance) others to do for you what you are unwilling to do for yourself.

To the people of Ukraine, I wish you all the best.

Will it ever end?

Just read an article in which over thirty democrats had signed onto a letter urging a covid vaccination mandate (proof of vaccination or negative covid test) prior to boarding domestic flights. Look up the article and read the letter.

This comes on top of the recent covid vaccination mandate issued by OSHA that is now been stayed by a Federal Appeals Court.

We are really coming to the time in American history where you will show your papers.

Just for the privilege of having a job you in some places must show your papers. In some places you must show your papers just for the privilege of dining indoors, going to a movie theatre, and various sorts of recreational activities.

Something else is revealed in the letter. They also ask that safety protocols for trains and other popular modes of public transportation be updated to reflect the current “science”. It will not stop with planes, buses, taxis, and trains.

One does have to wonder what is next. It would not be too much of a stretch to think that interstate travel would be next on their list. No vaccine or recent negative test no state-to-state travel. After that?

Now for a little trip back in time to answer the question will it ever end. Who said it and when?

…Will the oppressor let go the oppressed? Was there ever an instance? Can the annals of mankind exhibit one single example, where rulers overcharged with power, willingly let go the oppressed, though solicited and requested most earnestly? …

A bit more.

…A willing relinquishment of power is one of those things which human nature never was, nor ever will be capable of: …
