GEORGE WASHINGTON STATED

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty teeth.



First Inaugural Address of George Washington...April 30, 1789

The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

The Second Amendment of the U.S. 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.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Abraham Lincoln said:

"In this age, and in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it nothing can suceed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions."

James Madison Declared

The adversaries of the Constitution seem to have lost sight of the PEOPLE altogether in their reasonings on this subject; and to have viewed these different establishments not only as mutual rivals and enemies, but as uncontrolled by any common superior in their efforts to usurp the authorities of each other. These gentlemen must be reminded of their error. They must be told that the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, wherever the derivative may be found, RESIDES IN THE PEOPLE ALONE. (Federalist Papers, No. 46, p.294; emphasis added.)

Obama's Private Unelected Government?

The Obama czars enjoy significant bureaucratic power which is doing an "end run" around Congress and are compensated six figure salaries and some are alleged to tilt so far to the left that some allege are socialist or bordering very close to communism.

They answer only to Obama and he (Obama) has appointed nearly 40 of them. To me this seems to be a government within a government. Here are a few just to give you the flavor of this: health reform czar, border czar, counter terrorism czar, urban czar, global warming czar, domestic violence czar, stimulus accountability czar, Eurasian energy czar, Great Lakes czar, safe schools czar. These czars have never been elected, nor confirmed by the Senate but still have immense over our government and each of us in our daily lives.

Where in the US Constitution are such positions authorized and the President authorized to create and endow these individuals with this power and responsibility without accountability to no one except Obama?

I am truly concerned about what President Obama's agenda is in creating a "government within a government".

What do you think? I would appreciate your insight.

Health Care Bill...onset of Obama monarchy?

With the passage of "Obamacare" thanks to the Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi elitist government you can probably expect the following things among many other unforeseen things to happen in a poorly thought out (probably mostly unread) piece of legislation:

  • tax dollars will be used to pay for abortions; the executive order signed by Obama is not worth the paper its written on and will not stop the largest expansion of abortions that will be seen
  • health insurance premiums will rise by as much as 13% according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
  • small business will be stifled and will reduce jobs or forgo any thought of hiring new people to fill new positions
  • the Federal Government however will GROW by at least 16,000 new IRS Agents (at a minimal cost of $10 billion) to be the enforcement branch of this new piece of entitlement; just what we want, more government on our backs to make sure they get paid or they will fine, levy or I would not be surprised if they would prosecute some and imprison them. I guess this is what President Obama meant by CHANGE and SPREADING THE WEALTH.

So when you go to the polls in November think of these things before you vote and ask yourself is this the direction that you want your country to go? The future of your country, your and yours children's' liberties may depend on your choice.

Administration and leftist congress hijacked and perverted Social Justice?

Social Justice has been defined as the respect for the human person and the rights which flow from human dignity and guarantee it.

Social justice can be obtained only in respecting the transcendent dignity of man. The person represents the ultimate end of society, which is ordered to him: the late John Paul II said,

What is at stake is the dignity of the human person, whose defense and promotion have been entrusted to us by the Creator, and to whom the men and women at every moment of history are strictly and responsibly in debt.

In the Declaration of Independence it states that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No where in this document or in the Constitution does it state also an inalienable right to health care; if the government, with the consent of the governed wishes to create such a legislative policy it may do so if done in a lawful and legitimate matter. If it does so the government does not confer a new human right on its citizens it simply creates a new entitlement program for them. Rights are intrinsic to the human nature of created beings freely given to them by their creator. Words and concepts are important don't confuse political policy with intrinsic human rights or some day you may find yourself in the chains of slavery and subjugation of your government....it is designed to happen slowly over many years so that no one notices it until the chains are firmly placed and locked...and then it may be too late.

Judge politicians and all men not by just what they may say at any certain time in their lifetime but by the actions that they take and if the actions are moral and consistent with our Founding Fathers' principles and documents.

Above all be vigilant and always be aware of liars and stand up to them and call them on their lies...otherwise we may loose this Republic.

ACORN ceases ops...April 1...how appropriate

From materials posted by Personal Liberty News Desk it appears that the very far left and controversial organizing group known as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, President Obama's buddies during his days as a community organizer is going out of business because they are not going to get our federal tax payers dollars any more...well its about time. The official announced date for their closure is April 1st...how appropriate.

ACORN's funding and its reputation was hit hard by several reports of alleged voter fraud and embezzlement and a video which was wide spread.

Based on the video and the alleged voter fraud Congress pulled federal funding and private donors have backed away from the organization.

But will they really close down or simply divide and multiply under a myriad of AKAs (also known as) organizations making it more difficult to track and follow the questionable activities of these new organizations. I suspect that even though the head of the snake has been cut off the remaining parts will still be up to mischief....will any of it be illegal?

Handguns and caffeine

Starbucks Corp. has said its policy of letting in customers with handguns openly carried in states where openly carried handguns are legal will continue. The company will follow the law and not get in the middle between pro and anti gun advocates. So now you can pack heat not only in your cup of joe but on your belt. I bet there won't be many Starbucks stores being robed at gun point...it might prove dangerous to the robbers health to say the least. Also I bet there won't be many "whack jobs" going into Starbucks and opening fire on the customers unless they want to commit suicide by open carry civilians.

Stay tuned to this blog, I will let you know about their policy about states that permit concealed carry when I find out.

Want to bet your life (your family's lives)?

If you feel uncomfortable with sidearms and feel that all the protection you will ever need is your local police force than this article is not for you. You can rest easy falsely believing that at any time and any place the police will come to your rescue and be there to save you and your family from injury or death at any time, night or day, seven days a week all year long....year after year.

If you are of a more realistic mindset and know that only you are ultimately responsible for your and your family's personal safety I recommend that you go to:

Gun fight...Washington D.C....Tuesday

In case after case across this country, in countless courtrooms it has been decided that the police are not liable or responsible for your personal safety or that of whatever property you possess or own. So who is? You are ultimately responsible for your own safety and that of your possessions.

In 2008 the Supreme Court struck down Washington D.C.'s handgun ban. On this coming Tuesday oral arguments will be presented to the Supreme Court to strike down the prohibition against law abiding Chicagoans from owning a handgun and keeping it in their home for self defence. We are not talking about concealed carry but just having a firearm in your home to protect yourself and your family. The case that will be presented is called McDonald v. City of Chicago. Why would anyone want to stop a law abiding citizen from defending his/her life, his/her families lives?

The attorneys general for Florida, Texas, Alaska, and 34 other states have urged the court to strike down Chicago 's gun ban. So have a majority of members of Congress and individual prosecutors from 34 California counties. What is it that these local mayors and small time politicians afraid off...could it be the realization that you, not govenment, are responsible for yourself and your family and that a lot of what they do is superfluous and unnecessary. If you don't have the fundamental right to defend your life you have nothing and the Constitution means nothing if this fundamental right is not upheld.

Similar problems at "The Acreage"?

"The Acreage" a town about 20 miles from West Palm Beach in Florida has been asking Florida officials to conduct more extensive tests to see what if anything may be causing higher rates of brain tumors and cancer among children. Health officials have confirmed higher rates than normal in that area. The local health department has done all it can and the state health department said it would further test the water and the soil.

The Governor, Charlie Crist, said he would seek federal help in the investigation.

According to the surgeon general of Florida the state health department has done all it can.

I know it is an uncomfortable feeling not to have an answer but sometimes that is just the way it is; someday the technology and medical insight will develop to the point that an absolute cause-effect relationship can be determined. This does little to settle the hurt and devastation and loss to the people affected by this tragic occurrence.

Hope floats....where is the CHANGE?

Shortly after President Elect Barack Obama became President Obama he came to Fort Myers Florida. He promised a gathering of about 1500 people at Harborside Event Center the following: "If we want to fully turn this crisis around the starting point is to get people back to work right now."

Well it hasn't happened, now almost a year later, Fort Myers still has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation.....NO CHANGE. The unemployment rate has changed for the worse by increasing 2 percentage points to 13.8%...NO CHANGE EXCEPT NEGATIVE.

The $787 billion economic recovery plan NEVER CHANGED Fort Myers in a positive manner. So much for fulfilling CHANGE promises in a positive manner to the people of Fort Myers. The local failure reflects a expanding national dissatisfaction. His approval rating has dropped to 48% according to Gallup.

President Obama had better listen to the people or there will be a change at the helm of this country following the elections in 2012. He should start listening instead of blaming Pres. Bush and lecturing to the people, his boss, or he will be back in the classroom teaching law.

Haiti aid target of corruption & graft?

As I have often said no good deed goes unpunished; and I suspect that goes double in Haiti. The Cape Christian Fellowship in Cape Coral Florida collected thousands of dollars of goods for humanitarian aid for an orphanage in Haiti. When the donated humanitarian aid landed at the Cap-Haitien airport in Haiti corrupt Haitian custom officials demanded they pay $120 in duties in spite of the materials being labeled "No fees for humanitarian aid". The goods were diapers, baby food, toys and cribs were not allowed to leave the airport until the demand for payment was meet.

According to Cape Coral pilot, David Beauvois, "the government is so corrupt...what they really need to do is get the American military here to regulate like they do in Port-au-Prince." He also said that customs agents have been known to take the aid and keep it or sell it. The aid eventually did make its way to the orphanage after a multitude of hassles with Haitian officials and self appointed "officials?". If this is going on in just one part of the country you can imagine what the scale of corruption and graft is nation wide. Be careful to whom you donate money or goods too; make sure the charity is large enough and has enough clout to avoid this type of extortion.

Veterans Administration spying on you?

Under federal law, anyone who is "adjudicated as a mental defective" is a "prohibited person" who may not possess or receive firearms. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) interpretation of this has applied this term "prohibited person" to veterans and
family members who receive VA benefits, but who are unable to manage their own financial affairs.
For almost 10 years the VA has reported these financially challenged individuals and their family members to the FBI for inclusion in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This list is used to screen for and deny firearm purchases to these "so called" "prohibited persons". In a word they denied these people their Second Amendment Rights by interpreting what they considered a "prohibited person" is.
In Sept. 2009, the VA issued another directive to its regional offices, ordering staff to report potential (yes I did say potential) "prohibited persons" to the BATFE, where investigations could result in criminal (yes I did say criminal) prosecutions of GIs who were in combat, other veterans and family beneficiaries. Now they not only took away your Second Amendment Right but opened you up to criminal charges and incarceration. I thought we were fighting a War on Terrorism but apparently it included GIs, veterans and their family.
Finally after multiple complaints from the VA's own employees, legislators, and other organizations safeguarding our civil rights the VA rescinded this policy.
To safeguard our freedoms we must be eternally vigilante about individuals or agencies within our own government from slowly eroding our freedoms and their subtle and sometimes not to subtle attack on the Constitution of the United States of America. Be warned!

A Father's Day Present

Being a parent does have its rewards. I received this note some years ago from one of my children and though personal thought it should be shared with other parents that may be going through a hard time.

"Dad,
Happy Fathers Day!

There are so many things that you have taught me over the years and still do to this day.

I am so proud to have a father like you. I do my best to follow the examples you set. You are a great man with a heart of gold.

The most important things you have taught me is that family is everything and how to truly love.

You have always been there for me when I needed help or guidance even when I was not deserving of it; and that has taught me what true love/family is all about. So thank you for all you are and what you have taught me. I love you so much...you are my hero.

Signed ?"

So all you parents out there don't give up; you never know what good you may be doing even if it is not said right away.

The Second Great American Revolution Continues

The most important thing that Scott Brown's historic victory over Martha Coakley in Massachusetts proves, among many others, is this:

At this time, right now, in America, the liberal BS of the Democrats and their cronies in the media can't stop this Second American Revolution in spite of their lies and distortions of the truth; the American People have awakened to their tactics of deceit and lies and special deals for votes and will no longer tolerate it. The charisma and trust that many Americans believed to be an integral part of the persona of then Senator Barack Obama has all but vaporized into non-trust of a majority of Americans in now President Barack Obama...they are angry (outraged) and feel that they have been hoodwinked and sold a bill of goods they don't want. President Obama has lost a large part of the trust that many Americans had in him...and that trust has to be regained by actions not words scripted by his liberal democratic handlers. If he is straight with the American people he might, just might stand a chance of getting re-elected in 2012.

According to an Associated Press Article out of Washington "Americans quickly realized they have elected "the most radical leftist ever to serve as President of the United States."

Americans now realize that all of Obama's talk of "transparency" and "accountability" has only created conditions for a level of political sleaze, corruption and back-room wheeling and dealing far worse than anything Washington has seen in a very long time.

Americans have finally seen the hypocritical smooth talking rhetoric and the actual performance of President Obama; they have seen and now have had enough.

  • They have had enough of Obama's crusade to force a multi-trillion-dollar health-care "reform" on America, replacing private healthcare with a government-run system that will empower federal bureaucrats to make life-and-death decisions about your medical care.
  • They have had enough of the out-of-control spending on bailouts and "stimulus" that have sent the federal deficit soaring to $1.8 trillion for 2009 alone - and even higher down the road - threatening to bankrupt our nation, destroy our currency, and impoverish our descendents for generations to come.
  • They have had enough of the outrageous threats to investigate and prosecute Bush-era anti-terrorist agents and officials for the heroic work they did in keeping our country safe - while giving self-confessed terrorists like 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Muhammed a civilian trial and affording him the rights of a US Citizen and paying for his defense attorneys.
  • The have had enough of Obama's proposed tax hikes and tax "surcharges" to pay for all his spending programs that will drive U.S. tax rates higher even than the welfare -state economies of Europe.
  • They have had enough of appalling rogue's gallery of crooks, cronies, tax cheats, and political big spending leftists that Obama has appointed to the highest levels of government - while firing or abruptly "retiring" official govenment watchdogs who have blown the whistle on his cronies and their schemes.
  • The have had enough of the endless procession of unelected "czars" President Obama has appointed -- 32 at last count -- to bring one sector after another of our economy and government under his direct control.
  • They have had enough, in short, of how President Obama and his allies are rapidly destroying so much of what has made our country prosperous and free - while arrogating to themselves a degree of power that would make Hugo Chavez blush.

What about YOU HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH?



REMEMBER WHEN YOU VOTE!

The Revolution has begun!

It takes a while to anger and disappoint and disgust the segment of the United States that is composed of conservative democrats, independent voters and republican voters but it appears that the Democratic Party and President Obama's CHANGE has done it big time and in about exactly one year from his inauguration into office. Yes, I believe a Revolution is about to take place, a Revolution in the voting booths all around this country and all those politicians that have rode on the backs of political machines had better take note; they are going to be judged not on what the machine tells them to do but on what their constituency tells them. The American voter is finally getting smart and is not just listening to what politicians SAY but what they DO after they get into office. They will be judged on their performance; no free rides anymore.

The victory of Republican Scott Brown over Martha Coakley in Mass. marks the third statewide loss in a row for the President's Democratic Party. It also gives the Republicans the 41st vote they need to block controversial legislation in the Senate. The Democrats would need a super majority to pass legislation...this is very, very unlikely to happen.

So congratulations America on starting to take back your government, your rights and your elected Representatives and Senators and keep a very close eye not only on what they SAY but what they DO.

A paradigm shift is in the wind and the velocity is increasing.

Deadlines..and..Chicken Little

Iran is giving the United Nations and the West warning that unless they accept Iran's counter proposal in one month it will produce react0r fuel at a higher level of enrichment on its own.

Now if this is the game they want to play, "Chicken" fine; we should say nothing except thanks for sending us your mandated demand to us. The only thing Iran is good at is fomenting terrorism and playing chicken with the UN and the West. Again not a word should be spoken for that month. When that period of one month is over, we and our allies should go, at our chosen time, with the largest air strike we can muster and incinerate the known production and research centers that are contributing to the production of nuclear weapons.

After it is over we should again say nothing and say "what air strike" just like their President said "what Holocaust, it never happened." When they start to rebuild their nuclear production facilities then do the same thing...that's how to really play Chicken. Would not take to long until either the regime was overturned or they learned how to play a more honest game with the UN and the Western Allies.

Words accomplish nothing with this regime; the only thing they answer too is power and its use.

Soon there will be regime change in Iran

Theocracy may soon be on the way out like the Shaw of Iran exited many years ago following a surging uprising of the everyday persons of the middle class of Iran. They have seen the evils of a previous tyranny and a current theocracy and they don't seem to like either. I believe they want a secular government like Turkey or the United States. I believe it as gone beyond the time for talk and is now the time for the United Nations and the United States to , in a very tangible, way to help the masses of Iranians get the kind of government that they so badly want...after Iran, (the Imams), get the atomic bomb it will be to late and only really bad options will remain on the table to consider by conservative Arab, European and Western countries. Act now or the future will only get worse.

Seven murdered on CIA Director Leon Panetta's Watch

Seven CIA employees including the chief of the CIA post, a mother of three, were murdered, blown up, by a militant Islamic jihadist. This was on CIA Director Leon Panetta's watch. If it was you or I who was put in charge of a project of importance in the civilian sector and we failed on an equivalent degree we would be looking for a new job. But political ally of President Obama continues at his job as though nothing has really happened. They both say a few kind and appropriate words about the killed and injured individuals and then go on about business as usual. I do believe that an incident like this one deserves the dismissal of Director Leon Panetta, with prejudice. Get someone who can DO THE JOB, not one of your buddies. The President needs to "get real" and not run a "Chicago Style" machine in the White House.
