The far left has drawn a line in the sand

There is a social epidemic of psychological pathology raging through this country!

Posted by Michael on February 21, 2013 at 9:02pm

There is a social epidemic of psychological pathology raging through this country. It is unprecedented and is further exacerbated by a failing mental health system, socio economic upheaval and the irresponsible mass distribution of mind and mood altering psychotropic drugs which find their way into the average families medicine cabinets and are regularly prescribed to children during their developmental years. Many times these drugs are prescribed without the supervision of a mental health professional. Long term effects of these drugs have not been thoroughly researched and in many cases lead to permanent changes in brain and body chemistry, mania and suicide. The solution for this travesty by the ultra far left elitists who currently rule by tyranny is gun control.

A recent gang associated school shooting in Atlanta Georgia on Thursday February 7, 2013 was stopped by an armed resource officer before any further tragedy occurred, no one was killed and the teen that was shot was later released that day and only received minor injuries. The resource officer did not shoot the perpetrator; another teen student, since he too was armed and was able to disarm the shooter by brandishing his weapon and taking control of the situation. Columbine as well as Sandy Hook were gun free zones. Columbine occurred during an assault weapon ban. Connecticut already has an assault weapons ban. Chicago Illinois has some of the toughest gun laws in the country yet there are 2.58 murders per day. The Chicago Superintendent of the Chiefs of Police attacks law abiding citizens instead of taking personal responsibility for his lack of solutions and failure to fight crime. The truth of the matter is gun bans and criminalizing law abiding gun owners will not stop these tragedies will not curb them and do not control guns or criminals.

This has been proven time and time again not only over recent decades but throughout this century. Despite this obvious and logical truth the ultra far left elitists most of which are surrounded by their own armed security officers who carry and conceal “assault weapons”, default to the failed solution of attempting yet another power grab; the assault weapons ban and for nothing else than to pander to their constituents moving that much closer to total control. They know all well that no government municipal, state or federal governing body can guarantee anyone’s safety, but then again that’s not what this is about.

The elitist left will also create and expose average everyday Americans to what will be one of the most brutal and murderous black markets ever to exist in America: the assault weapons black market. If America is one thing it is resourceful and has great resolve in supplying tangible goods or substances that are deemed illegal, especially when their values increases 20-30 times over night. One only has to look back to the earlier part of the twentieth century to prohibition or more recently illegal controlled substances like narcotics and marijuana. The day they became illegal the profit margins went straight through the roof. Just ask Felipe Calderon about drugs and weapons black markets in Mexico and across the infamous “border”.

The difference is that the “assault weapons” flowing into the U.S will most likely be of Chinese or Soviet origin especially now that there is a unprecedented fully operational AK103 factory (the first of its kind) on North American soil in the country of that great friend of the Obama administration Jugo Chavez’s Venezuela. I am sure it would be much to the delight and candor of the Chinese and Soviets to start sending cases of their own AK’s to over exuberant South and Central American cartel bosses who already ship kilo upon kilo of heroin and marijuana into the U.S on a daily basis.

The caveat to this is Obama, Feinstein and company who do not even know or act as if they don’t know what an “assault weapon” is (which is a combat rifle with full auto capability or a full auto selector switch, which only private citizens with a class 3 tax stamp can own and these weapons are then registered with the ATF) will gladly infringe upon law abiding American citizens with the brazen swagger of any autocratic dictator of the 20^th century, absolute power and suppressive law as they walk through America surrounded by heavily armed guards.

I would not have thought that in my life I would have witnessed rule by tyranny in the United States of America (especially by Blacks and Jews who have suffered greatly at the hands of tyrants) supported by a propaganda machine no less than the likes of the ex Soviet Union or Herman Gerbils Nazi machine. That day is here. Ironically I have never owned what is currently misclassified as an assault weapon, however I have never felt more of a desire than the present to own one, not to protect myself against criminals but to defend myself from tyrannical rule. Based on recent gun sales numbers especially of these and similar weapons it looks like I am not alone.

These leftists do not believe in America, their idea of change is to strip us of our language borders, culture and our constitution, to open the door to foreign Nationals of their choice ex. Amnesty to  Latinos but no one else, what about Southeast Asians, Eastern Europeans, Africans there are plenty more illegal’s here from other countries.  They want to establish historical models and practices from European countries that are currently failing and they demonize anyone: Whites Blacks, Jews, etc. who do not want to go back to these approaches which are the entire reason this country even exists in the first place (to break free from Europe).

They feel obligated to appease anyone from a different culture, or foreign National and blindly turn over the reigns of power to them despite lacking credentials. The elected officials not only scoff at the oath they took to protect the constitution they “spit on it” as they spit on any American citizen who challenges their decisions. The NDAA, department of homeland security amassing weapons and ammunition, all resonate the new world order under the Obama wing of the Democratic party the The New Socialist Peoples Republic of the United States.

With the threat of democide looming as the final solution I think the question of the day to freedom loving Americans, (not freedom fearing Leftists or power grabbing Marxists) who still care about their country and for which it stands, is not if you are ready to stand by your beliefs, the question is are you ready to die for your beliefs?

The far left has drawn a line in the sand. Based on their recent actions it is obvious they will do whatever they have to, despite the democratic process, to achieve their goals. Semantics are no longer an option, Republicrats are nothing but an arm of the Democrat party to pacify conservatives into thinking they have representation. It’s no longer about what you can do for your country; it’s about what your country is going to do to you.

The 4 Scandals that are Benghazi

Remember Benghazi

Written on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 by Robert Owen

In history there have been a number of memorable phrases. Two that come to mind are “Remember the Maine” and “Remember the Alamo”. Both are important to the history of our great country. I offer one that is their equal or perhaps their superior. “Remember Benghazi”. That simple call should be a watchword of today’s generation of those that care.

The debacle at Benghazi, not one scandal but four separate examples of the ineptness and shallowness of the Obama regime, should be remembered forever as the absolute low point of American governance.

Scandal number one is the period before the attack. The consulate had been attacked previously to the extent that a hole had been blown through the wall large enough to allow the attackers in. This hole had never been repaired. It was known that there were Al Qaeda groups in the area and that the consulate was in danger due to a secret war in Africa. This war was being run by John Brennan through the White House without the knowledge of the State Department, the CIA, or the Pentagon. The important thing, however, is that the ambassador requested more security to protect Americans and American soil in this highly volatile area.

The requested security personnel were not forthcoming. As I understand it, there are only two people in government that can refuse an ambassador’s direct request. That is the Secretary of State or the President. So the question is by whom and why was that request denied? Secretary Clinton testified. But she shed no light on these questions. Her most monumental statement was “what does it matter now?”. I think it does still matter to many of us. It matters a great deal.

Scandal number two is that during the attack. Ambassador Stevens begged for help. Once again, he was denied. The attack was monitored by two drones overhead. The video link was monitored at the State Department and, it has recently been suggested, by the Vice President. Who knows how many more people in government were watching? The administration is not saying. Our brave people, that were under fire, had laser target designators and were experienced operators. There were F-18s at Aviano AFB in Italy and, early on it was said, an AC-130 gunship possibly at Sigonella NAS in Sicily. Either one, an hour away, could have altered the results of that seven hour battle. So the statement that no support was available will not hold water. Again the same question. Who and why?

This brings us to scandal number three. The cover up. Make no mistake, everybody involved, from the President on down, knew that this was not a mob action brought about by some dumb movie that no one had even seen. They knew this was an all out attack by Al Qaeda or a surrogate. For seven weeks they tried to peddle this implausible story. Even with the help of the ever willing press the story never grew legs. Americans are smarter then our politicians think they are. The American people “got it“. But even to this day the President is claiming the problem was “a little sloppiness in the State Department“. A little sloppiness in the State Department does not account for the deaths of four American heroes. Once again we must ask, who and why?

Before we get to the fourth scandal, I think that we can get a hint of the why of all this. President Obama led from the rear, as you will recall, in Libya. The country was thrown into total chaos with no obvious leadership. Mr. Obama was desperate to prove he knew what he was doing and that his tactics were successful. He had to prove that Libya was calm and under control. It wasn’t. So a political decision was made and a fantasy story was woven, hoping the results of obfuscation would be fortuitous. They weren’t. Most of us learn as children that these things never work. I guess if you live in your own fantasy world………

So, on to the final scandal. Number four. The facts are simple. General David Petraeus repeated the administrations story after the fact. A few days passed and he admitted to an affair and resigned. Then he rescinded his original story. We will probably never know exactly what went on, but we can make a guess. I’d guess that he liked his CIA post and wanted to keep it. I’d guess that to do that he agreed to support the administration. I’d guess that his warrior’s sense of honor kicked in and he changed his mind. A lot of people went under the bus on this one.

So we must remember Benghazi. Time has passed and the administration wants it to go away. The American people still deserve answers. As usual the main stream media is giving this a pass. Those of us that write because we care, must stay on this story. This is bigger and more important than Watergate. I don’t intend to let it pass. I hope there are others with me.

Wow! Greg Gutfield flattens MSNBC Libtard Chuck Todd

Greg Gutfeld to Chuck Todd: Denying media bias is ‘like denying science’

6:29 PM 02/20/2013

On Wednesday’s broadcast of FNC’s “The Five,” co-host Greg Gutfeld responded to a statement from NBC White House correspondent and MSNBC “The Daily Rundown” host Chuck Todd that it’s a “mythology” to believe the mainstream media are hostile toward conservatives.

“I think that the mythology of the big, bad non-conservative media has gotten into some offices,” Todd said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday. “And so that there’s this fear of, oh we can’t do, we can’t do anything that’s not — it’s sort of this — and I feel like it’s a mythology that now younger staffers believe and then it infuses, and then these guys, they actually believe the spin that’s out there.”
 After complimenting Todd on his goatee, Gutfeld said there was evidence to prove media bias, including studies and anecdotal evidence.

“Nice goatee,” Gutfeld said. “OK, look — denying the media bias at this point has to be like denying science. You’re worse than a flat-earther — you’re a no-earther. Because if you don’t believe in media bias, what else do you believe in? That men once rode dinosaurs? That Bill Maher is edgy? In order to deny media bias, you got to deny studies of voting practices of journalists, which reveal liberal purity; the frothy leftism of the journalistic launching pad that is the leafy campus; the scandals where journalists conspired to smear righties as racist; that journalistic whistle-blowing is always left on right and it’s never the reverse (see Benghazi, as opposed to [Valerie] Plame); the threesome that occurs whenever a lefty shows up on ‘60 Minutes.’”

He went on to say if you deny bias, then you’ll likely believe a myriad of things, including stereotypes about conservatives.

“But I guess if you believe in an objective media, you’ll believe in anything: like a whistle is better than a gun; redistribution beats opportunity; black conservatives are Uncle Toms and female conservatives are scolds; that being born white is racist; that tolerance requires calling terror ‘workplace violence’; that our country’s energy can be found in griffin lint; that the tea party is more harmful than drug lords; that Occupy Wall Streeters were cuddly Muppets; that choice matters before birth, not after; that a border is selfish; that every tenet of the left hasn’t saddled most young Americans with a toxic notion of entitlement without achievement, drowning in disposable culture as China rifles our wallets and our hard drives. But it’s easy to miss media bias. To quote Madge from Palmolive [commercials], ‘You don’t see it my dear, because you’re soaking in it.’”

What are the chances the lame stream media picks up this story?

Columbine Survivor Pens Bold Open Letter to Obama Rejecting Gun Control: ‘Whose Side Are You On?’

Feb. 20, 2013 10:10am Billy Hallowell

Columbine survivor Evan Todd released an open letter to President Barack Obama on Wednesday in which he offers a point-by-point analysis of proposed firearms control initiatives, dismissing them as ineffective and dangerous to Americans’ rights.

He recently outlined why he fervently disagrees with the gun control policies that have been proposed in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. TheBlaze interviewed Todd earlier this week and subsequently detailed how his experience being shot back in 1999 has shaped his views on the issue.

The letter, which speaks directly to the president, covers a number of key facets in the gun control debate.

On universal background checks, Todd expresses his fears that “universal registration can easily be used for universal confiscation.” Additionally, he says his belief that assault weapons bans are ineffective and argues that the first law did little to stop violence when it was in effect from 1994 until 2004; he cites Columbine as a prime example.

“It was during this time that I personally witnessed two fellow students murder twelve of my classmates and one teacher,” he writes. “The assault weapons ban did not deter these two murderers, nor did the other thirty-something laws that they broke.”

Of particular note in the letter is the survivor’s insistence that Obama’s proposed regulations impede the rights of Americans and endanger them by capping magazine sizes and restricting the types of guns that are available to law-abiding citizens.

“Why would you prefer criminals to have the ability to out-gun law-abiding citizens?,” he asks the president in the text. “Whose side are you on?”

Read Todd’s open letter to Obama, below.

–

Mr. President,

As a student who was shot and wounded during the Columbine massacre, I have a few thoughts on the current gun debate. In regards to your gun control initiatives:

Universal Background Checks

First, a universal background check will have many devastating effects. It will arguably have the opposite impact of what you propose. If adopted, criminals will know that they can not pass a background check legally, so they will resort to other avenues. With the conditions being set by this initiative, it will create a large black market for weapons and will support more criminal activity and funnel additional money into the hands of thugs, criminals, and people who will do harm to American citizens.

Second, universal background checks will create a huge bureaucracy that will cost an enormous amount of tax payers dollars and will straddle us with more debt. We cannot afford it now, let alone create another function of government that will have a huge monthly bill attached to it.

Third, is a universal background check system possible without universal gun registration? If so, please define it for us. Universal registration can easily be used for universal confiscation. I am not at all implying that you, sir, would try such a measure, but we do need to think about our actions through the lens of time.

It is not impossible to think that a tyrant, to the likes of Mao, Castro, Che, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and others, could possibly rise to power in America. It could be five, ten, twenty, or one hundred years from now — but future generations have the natural right to protect themselves from tyrannical government just as much as we currently do. It is safe to assume that this liberty that our forefathers secured has been a thorn in the side of would-be tyrants ever since the Second Amendment was adopted.

Ban on Military-Style Assault Weapons

The evidence is very clear pertaining to the inadequacies of the assault weapons ban. It had little to no effect when it was in place from 1994 until 2004. It was during this time that I personally witnessed two fellow students murder twelve of my classmates and one teacher.

The assault weapons ban did not deter these two murderers, nor did the other thirty-something laws that they broke.

Gun ownership is at an all time high. And although tragedies like Columbine and Newtown are exploited by ideologues and special-interest lobbying groups, crime is at an all time low. The people have spoken. Gun store shelves have been emptied. Gun shows are breaking attendance records. Gun manufacturers are sold out and back ordered. Shortages on ammo and firearms are countrywide. The American people have spoken and are telling you that our Second Amendment shall not be infringed.

10-Round Limit for Magazines

Virginia Tech was the site of the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. Seung-Hui Cho used two of the smallest caliber hand guns manufactured and a handful of ten round magazines. There are no substantial facts that prove that limited magazines would make any difference at all.

Second, this is just another law that endangers law-abiding citizens. I’ve heard you ask, “why does someone need 30 bullets to kill a deer?”

Let me ask you this: Why would you prefer criminals to have the ability to out-gun law-abiding citizens? Under this policy, criminals will still have their 30-round magazines, but the average American will not. Whose side are you on?

Lastly, when did they government get into the business of regulating “needs?” This is yet another example of government overreaching and straying from its intended purpose.

Selling to Criminals

Mr. President, these are your words: “And finally, Congress needs to help, rather than hinder, law enforcement as it does its job. We should get tougher on people who buy guns with the express purpose of turning around and selling them to criminals. And we should severely punish anybody who helps them do this.”

Why don’t we start with Eric Holder and thoroughly investigate the Fast and Furious program?

Furthermore, the vast majority of these mass murderers bought their weapons legally and jumped through all the hoops —  because they were determined to murder. Adding more hoops and red tape will not stop these types of people. It doesn’t now — so what makes you think it will in the future? Criminals who cannot buy guns legally just resort to the black market.

Criminals and murderers will always find a way.

Critical Examination

Mr. President, in theory, your initiatives and proposals sound warm and fuzzy — but in reality they are far from what we need. Your initiatives seem to punish law-abiding American citizens and enable the murderers, thugs, and other lowlifes who wish to do harm to others.

Let me be clear: These ideas are the worst possible initiatives if you seriously care about saving lives and also upholding your oath of office. There is no dictate, law, or regulation that will stop bad things from happening — and you know that. Yet you continue to push the rhetoric. Why?

You said, “If we can save just one person it is worth it.” Well here are a few ideas that will save more that one individual:

First, forget all of your current initiatives and 23 purposed executive orders. They will do nothing more than impede law-abiding citizens and breach the intent of the Constitution. Each initiative steals freedom, grants more power to an already-overreaching government, and empowers and enables criminals to run amok.

Second, press Congress to repeal the “Gun Free Zone Act.” Don’t allow America’s teachers and students to be endangered one-day more. These parents and teachers have the natural right to defend themselves and not be looked at as criminals. There is no reason teachers must disarm themselves to perform their jobs. There is also no reason a parent or volunteer should be disarmed when they cross the school line.

This is your chance to correct history and restore liberty. This simple act of restoring freedom will deter would-be murderers and for those who try, they will be met with resistance.

Mr. President, do the right thing, restore freedom, and save lives. Show the American people that you stand with them and not with thugs and criminals.

Respectfully,

Severely Concerned Citizen, Evan M. Todd

Why can't liberals understand what the 2nd amendment means to real Americans?

Sheriff Warns Of “Second American Revolution”

http://www.teaparty.org/sheriff-warns-of-second-american-revolution-20436/

Milwaukee County law enforcer urged his citizens to arm themselves
(Info Wars) – A Milwaukee County Sheriff has warned that a second American Revolution may be sparked if unconstitutional gun laws are enforced by police and sheriff’s department officials.
Sheriff David Clarke recently urged the citizens he serves to consider learning firearm safety because of “a duty to protect yourself and your family.”

In a message posted on the Sheriff’s website, Clarke wrote “I need you in the game, but are you ready? With officers laid-off and furloughed, simply calling 9-1-1 and waiting is no longer your best option. You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back; but are you prepared?”

“Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there. You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. We’re partners now. Can I count on you?” the message urged.

Speaking on the Alex Jones Show yesterday, the Sheriff hit home his opinions on the gun control proposals that are being pushed via presidential executive orders.

“First of all, to me that would be an act of tyranny. So the people in Milwaukee County do not have to worry about me enforcing some sort of order that goes out and collects everybody’s handgun, or rifles, or any kind of firearm and makes them turn them in.” Clarke said.

“The reason is I don’t want to get shot, because I believe that if somebody tried to enforce something of that magnitude, you would see the second coming of an American Revolution, the likes of which would make the first revolution pale by comparison.” the Sheriff urged.

Like Alex Jones, Sheriff Clarke also recently appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, in an interview that was clearly set up by Morgan in a failed attempt to demonize lawful gun owners and push the idea of strict gun control. During the broadcast Morgan said that Clarke’s plea regarding citizens arming themselves would “turn Milwaukee into the Wild Wild West”.

“This has nothing to do with violence reduction because the type of violence that we’re talking about, that I see on the streets in the Milwaukee area on a daily basis is not even committed using the weapons that the left is trying to ban.” Clarke told Jones’ listeners.

“They are not using assault rifles, they are not using high capacity magazines, they are not buying their ammo over the internet. The criminals couldn’t care less about a background check, so that tells me that this is ingenuous.” he added.

“If they were serious about violence reduction, they would get behind me… and join me arm in arm in calling for longer periods of incarceration for repeat career criminals who have demonstrated over and over again that they are going to get a hand gun, that they are going to get a firearm and perpetrate violence.” Clarke noted.

The Sheriff added that a recent a Sikh temple shooting in his County a few months ago was perpetrated by an individual who passed a firearms background check.

“My understanding is the creep in Aurora Colorado who shot up the theatre, also passed a background check.” Clarke said. “This isn’t about background checks, of which the overwhelming majority of gun transfers go on anyway.”

“This is about attacking the Second Amendment, it’s about going after the wrong crowd.” The Sheriff posited.

Asked why he believed such strict measures were being pushed by the Obama administration at this time, the Sheriff pointed toward a general push for increased governmental control over society.

“Government control cannot go on as long as people have some sort of ability to say ‘hey wait just a doggone minute’.” The Sheriff told listeners. “That’s what the government fears, they don’t really fear the criminals, they support the criminals. What they fear is a law abiding person.” he added.

“Read the Declaration of Independence, it’s right there where a law abiding people say ‘enough is enough, you are exerting too much influence in our lives, this is tyrannical and we’re going to stop it,’ that’s what they are worried about.” he concluded.

Will you allow the government to take away your constitutional rights?

As I read this blog post I must have experienced a half dozen emotions.  I read it slowly and gave thought to every passage.  I realize that many Americans - perhaps even most - I know I even live with one or two - will laugh this off and say "this isn't the 1700's".  But think abou the prescience of our founding fathers who had enough forethought to costruct a document that would provide citizens of this great nation with recourse should the government that supposedly serves us, turn tyrannical and begin stripping us of our constitutional rights.   I for one will fight.

This is certainly a long diatribe but well worth your time to read it.  At the very least, you will learn that our government is not a "democracy", but a "constitutional republic".  Oops.  You already learned that without reading the blog post.  But still plow through it so you will have an understanding WHY the founding fathers created a constitutional replublic and not a simple majority-rules democracy.  There are also some very profound quotes from some of our country's finest patriots.

If they come for your guns, do you have a responsibility to fight?

Posted by crashaxe on February 19, 2013 at 6:44pm in Tea Party

Pretty good essay, from a guy that cares.

If they come for your guns, do you have a responsibility to fight?

Food for thought in this great debate.

This man has put down on paper what many people are thinking but are too cautious to express openly. I hope it never comes to what he is advocating but I can certainly see where the possibility exists.

God help us all if it ever does happen.

P.S. - Here is what Wikipedia has to say about the author:


Dean Garrison (born 1955) is a contemporary American author and crime fiction novelist. He was born in Michigan, grew up in the Indiana, Illinois, and Texas, and received his B.A. degree from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. Garrison is a Crime Scene Technician in West Michigan. His research in the fields of crime scene investigation and Shooting Reconstruction are widely published in forensic journals under the name "D.H. Garrison, Jr."

Subject: If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight?

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Dean Garrison

I feel a tremendous responsibility to write this article though I am a little apprehensive. Thinking about the possibility of rising up against our own government is a frightening thing for many of us. I am not Johnny Rambo and I will be the first to admit that I do not want to die. The reason I feel compelled to write this, however, is simply because I don’t think the average American is equipped with the facts. I feel that a lot of American citizens feel like they have no choice but to surrender their guns if the government comes for them. I blame traditional media sources for this mass brainwash and I carry the responsibility of all small independent bloggers to tell the truth. So my focus today is to lay out your constitutional rights as an American, and let you decide what to do with those rights.

About a month ago I let the “democracy” word slip in a discussion with a fellow blogger. I know better. Americans have been conditioned to use this term. It’s not an accurate term and it never has been a correct term to describe our form of government. The truth is that the United States of America is a constitutional republic. This is similar to a democracy because our representatives are selected by democratic elections, but ultimately our representatives are required to work within the framework of our constitution. In other words, even if 90% of Americans want something that goes against our founding principles, they have no right to call for a violation of constitutional rights.

If you are religious you might choose to think of it this way… Say that members of your congregation decide that mass fornication is a good thing. Do they have the right to change the teachings of your God? The truth is the truth. It doesn’t matter how many people try to stray from it. Did I just compare our founders to God? In a way I did, but please note that I am not trying to insult anyone. For the purpose of the American Government our constitution and founders who wrote it are much like God is to believers. It is the law. It is indisputable.

Our founders did not want a “democracy” for they feared a true democracy was just as dangerous as a monarchy. The founders were highly educated people who were experienced in defending themselves against tyranny. They understood that the constitution could protect the people by limiting the power of anyone to work outside of it much better than a pure system of popularity. A system of checks and balances was set up to help limit corruption of government and also the potential for an “immoral majority” developing within the American People. We have forgotten in this country that we are ultimately ruled by a constitution.

Why is a democracy potentially just as dangerous as a monarchy? Let’s look at something that Benjamin Franklin said because it answers that question more fully and succinctly than I can.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. - Benjamin Franklin

Even 230+ years ago our founders were perceptive enough to realize that democracy was a dangerous form of government. How so?  Because the citizens of a country can become just as corrupt as any government. We have seen evidence of this throughout history. Ask Native Americans and African-Americans if this population can become corrupt.

I think in 2012 we are seeing evidence of what Franklin was trying to tell us. Just because a majority of people may support certain ideas it does not mean that those ideas are just. In simple terms, just because most Americans love our president and voted for him, it does not mean that he has the power to go against our constitutional rights.

Next I’d like to review the text of the second amendment. It is very clear. This is the law of this land. So when Senator Feinstein or President Obama talk about taking your guns, you need to think about something. Are they honoring their sworn oath to uphold the constitution?

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.

This is a pretty clear statement. The fact is that it took 232 years for the Supreme Court to even rule on this amendment because it has never been successfully challenged. In 2008 a case of Columbia v. Heller the Supreme Court ruled that a handgun ban in Washington D.C. was unconstitutional. One also has to take this into consideration. The Supreme Court supports your right to own guns. If you want to research this decision further you can start here.

For those who try to debate the spirit of the 2nd amendment, they are truly no different from people who will try to take Biblical quotes out of context to try to support their immoral decisions. The founders were very clear on the intent of the 2nd amendment. Let me share a few quick quotes here:

The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -Thomas Jefferson

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … >From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. - George Washington

The Constitution shall never be construed….to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. - Samuel Adams

I could find hundreds of quotes like these. This country was built on the right to bear arms. It was built on the rights of an individual to bear arms, regardless of what his government or neighbor happened to think. This is crystal clear. Ironically the people who voice their opinions against this right have their free speech protected by your guns. Without guns in this country, all other amendments become null and void, simply because “We the People” will lose our power of enforcement.  We need to keep this in mind as our “representatives” try to push gun bans. I don’t care if 99% of people are in support of gun bans (which is far from the case), it is a violation of our constitutional rights, plain and simple.

A constitutional republic protects the rights of the individual even when their ideas are very much in the minority. If I were the only person in America who believed in the 2nd amendment, I would still be within my rights to call upon it. You would all think I was insane and possibly celebrate if I was gunned down, but in the end I would be the only true American among us.

Our framers were very clear on this. If my government comes to take my guns, they are violating one of my constitutional rights that is covered by the 2nd amendment.  It is not my right, at that point, but my responsibility to respond in the name of liberty. What I am telling you is something that many are trying to soft sell, and many others have tried to avoid putting into print, but I am going to say it.

The time for speaking in code is over.  If they come for our guns then it is our constitutional right to put them six feet under. You have the right to kill any representative of this government who tries to tread on your liberty. I am thinking about self-defense and not talking about inciting a revolution. Re-read Jefferson ’s quote. He talks about a “last resort.” I am not trying to start a Revolt, I am talking about self-defense. If the day for Revolution comes, when no peaceful options exist, we may have to talk about that as well. None of us wants to think about that, but please understand that a majority cannot take away your rights as an American citizen. Only you can choose to give up your rights.

Congress could pass gun ban legislation by a 90%+ margin and it just would not matter. I think some people are very unclear on this. This is the reason we have a Supreme Court, and though I do not doubt that the Supreme Court can also become corrupt, in 2008 they got it right. They supported the constitution. It does not matter what the majority supports because America is not a democracy. A constitutional republic protects the rights of every single citizen, no matter what their “elected servants” say. A majority in America only matters when the constitution is not in play.

I just wrote what every believer in the constitution wants to say, and what every constitutional blogger needs to write. The truth of the matter is that this type of speech is viewed as dangerous and radical or subversive, and it could gain me a world of trouble that I do not want. It is also the truth. To make myself clear I will tell you again. If they come for your guns it is your right to use those guns against them and to kill them. You are protected by our constitution.

Most of the articles I am reading on the subject are trying to give you clues without just coming out and saying it. I understand that because certain things in this country will get you on a list that you don’t want to be on. I may well be on that list. This blog is small and growing so I may not be there yet, but I have dreams. I also have my own list of subversives and anyone who attempts to deny my constitutional rights is on that list.

I am not the “subversive” here; it is the political representatives who are threatening to take away my inalienable rights. If they come to take my guns and I leave a few of them wounded or dead, and I somehow survive, I have zero doubt that I will spend a long time in prison and may face an execution. But I would much rather be a political prisoner than a slave.

If I go down fighting then I was not fighting to harm these human beings. I was simply defending my liberty and yours. It is self-defense and it is what our country was built on. We won our freedom in self-defense. We would not be ruled by a tyrannical government in the 1770′s and we will not be ruled in 2012 by a tyrannical government. There is no difference.

This is a case of right and wrong. As of now the 2nd amendment stands. It has never been repealed. If Feinstein or Barack have a problem with the constitution then they should be removed from office. They are not defending the constitution which they have sworn an oath to protect. It is treasonous to say the least. They would likely say the same about me, but I have the constitution, the founders, and the Supreme Court on my side. They only have their inflated egos.

I am not writing this to incite people. I am writing this in hopes that somehow I can make a tiny difference. I have no idea how many of my neighbors have the will to defend their constitutional rights. 2%? 20%? I am afraid that 20% is a high number, unfortunately. When push comes to shove many people may give up and submit to being ruled. I believe that our government is banking on this.

What I do know is that this country was founded by people who had balls the size of Texas and Patriotic Americans take shit off of no one, especially our own government. For evidence of that, you might research the Revolutionary War. My question is how many Patriots are left?

I would hope that our officials come to realize that, regardless of our numbers, we still exist because they are calling Patriotic Americans to action. They are making us decide if we want to die free or submit to their rule. I cannot tell you where you should stand on that. I do know that it may make the difference between living a life of freedom or slavery.

You must start thinking about this because I believe that the day is coming soon and I personally believe it has already been planned. Not all conspiracy theories are hogwash. They may throw down the gauntlet soon and my suggestion is that you prepare yourself to react.  I mean no disrespect to our elected officials but they need to understand that “We the People” will not be disarmed. If they proceed then it is they that are provoking us and we will act accordingly. We are within our rights to do so.

For those who are in support of taking the guns, you need to ask yourself a very important question, and I am not just talking about the politicians, because if you support them, you have chosen your side.

Are you willing to die to take my guns?

Through regulations, taxation, inflation of the money supply, trade restrictions, and tethers on private associations, government itself is nothing but a massive drain on prosperity. The situation has become deeply dangerous for the future of freedom in America, with young people unable to find jobs, opportunities being destroyed in sector after sector, banks and corporations living on the dole, and so many regulations that we are living under something nearly as egregious as Soviet-style central planning.

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him --- better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford
