Elitist gun control

So, now the big flap is that certain poor legislators who have been "given permission" to carry their concealed weapons in the Capitol have had their "privilege" revoked because of supposed changes in security procedures.
Wow! How interesting that this is an issue when said Legislature is engaged in trying to further infringe on our constitutional rights by outlawing the open carry of unloaded weapons. PERIOD!
Keep your eyes on that issue.  It will continue with the usual moves of creeping socialism. i.e., deprive the citizenry of ANY means of defending their rights when pressed by an oppressive government.
Yes, I said oppressive.
How can anyone possibly look at the state of affairs our government has created for us in this day and age without realizing where the path is headed.
History is replete with examples of such "high-minded" examples of political double speak and the "big lie" wherein the ruling class/party/regime says they are trying to "protect" the populace when actually they are trying to protect their privileged selves.
Statistics from the Federal government (FBI and other sources) prove, beyond a shadow that gun control, as defined by Liberals, creates a high crime environment for the average citizen.
It also removes one of the checks and balances built into our system by the Founding Fathers to protect our citizens from said overbearing government and/or above mentioned "privileged selves".
The Second Amendment is quite clear about its purpose.
To protect the freedom of the people by allowing them the means to defend their rights, their selves, their property and their very freedom.  Guns!
Those Liberals who claim their is no need for citizens to be armed because the Police and the Army are there to do so, have ignored the Supreme Court ruling (I regret I am unable to provide the cite) that clearly states that the police have NO RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT ANY PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL, IN ANY WAY.
And history is full of examples of police agencies joining in when the time comes to start openly enforcing the oppressive regimes pogroms or crackdowns.
The progression can be slow or it can be fast, but the evidence is there for those who will see.
The New World Order has no room for honest citizens who are armed and willing.
Although, apparently, there is plenty of room for criminals, whose 5th Amendment rights allow them to lie on government forms required for purchasing guns in order to avoid incriminating themselves.
There is also plenty of room for Terrorist and/or Pirate types around the world to keep and bear arms.
Why, ?
Because NWO requires Boogie Men to wave at us to keep us in line and pay for more "police protection".
At the ordinary citizen level, everyone knows that police are report takers and follow on investigators, there is no "protect" involved.
But, if a citizen holds political office, or runs a major corporation, Protection with a capital P.
And you know that is true.
Apparently the big push is beginning.  Even tho', many years California voters passed a proposition to specifically prevent "any further infringement" of our Second Amendment Rights by the government of California.  by a 2 to 1 margin. And the Legislature promptly buried it.  It just disappeared, helped along by Roos-Rpberti way back when.
Pay attention, it is happening.

Changes is attitudes

Well, I have been hearing it all over again.
People are starting to realize just what has been happening to the country. And to them.

So, they are watching what the "representatives" are doing and how little attention they pay to the wishes of the "people", they are so busy doing the Political thing.  Spending money that isn't theirs., shipping other people's children off to stupid wars for no particular reason except profit for some megacorp and/or the latest human rights crushing dictator/despot that they can buy.
 I will continue watching and listening to see just how much the people can take.
Me I have been pissed off about it since the 60's.. Some things I just can't let go.  Hell, I am still pissed off about Kent State.  (Look it up, you will be too.)
Not to mention all the others brave men and women who stood up to be counted and got shot/lynched/burned up for their trouble.
And how about the latest travesty.  Supreme Court of the United States, the last line of defense for the people against the State just handed a verdict that released the state from liability in a case where the State, i.e. the prosecuting attorney, willfully and with malice aforethought, hid evidence and committed other crimes to put a man in prison for a rape he DID NOT  commit.
This man, this innocent man, served 18 years on the charges, that evidence in the hands of the state, at the time of the trial, proved he did not commit.
Yet, the Supreme Court declared that the state was NOT at fault.
Well, then..... who was?
Really!   What happened to ..... well, we all know that right is irrelevant when it comes to collecting from our government.
They are always right.  Historical precedent.  See George V, Quisling, Hitler, Amin, Mubarak, Qaddafi, the list goes on. 
Phew!  That was a load off.   I am sure there will be more later.  Rx

Serfdom... Now!

F.A.Hayek, author of "The Road to Serfdom"

Serfdom is where we are. We should just admit it and get on with the next step.
Articles in today's paper in Sacramento.

1. State legislature here in Sacramento has gone on with the usual, normal and everyday wrangling over what to do with our money, while doing its very best to ignore those pesky "Tea Party Nuts" who have been insisting on spending CUTS.  Said legislature is proceeding with a business as usual approach in basically deciding how much more or our money they are planning to take from us and spend on stuff we mostly don't want anyway. (But who cares about what we want?)
2. We are still getting daily reports about young Americans getting killed or maimed in a country nobody here really cares about one way or another.  Fighting to establish Democracy in a tribal culture that has been in existence for literally thousands of years and basically has no interest in changing except just enough to keep the checks going through.  Anyone from Afghanistan who is really interested in freedom and democracy already lives here or is en route.  Because they know it is NOT going to happen there.  
3. In addition to Afghanistan and Iraq, BO is now getting his toes wet in Libya.  "No boots on the ground" sounds a lot like "No new taxes" from a few years back.  And what is with getting permission from the Frigging U.N. rather than our own congress.  Since when do we need U.N. permission to do anything? Creeping Socialism is no longer creeping.. It is going full bore.  
So, to fall back on the words of the framer of the Declaration and the Constitution... Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Tyrants and Patriots."

Freeloaders

Freeloaders are an abomination upon society, and yet, they are part and parcel of the Entitlement generation created by creeping socialism.
They are everywhere you turn and even in your car on the way to YOUR JOB, where you, hypothetically, bust your butt trying to EARN your daily bread.
They permeate society, government, industry, the courts.
A true Libertarian society would, at least, decimate their ranks to those who are actually in need and direct them to private charities and other traditional source of assistance.
Instead of running the Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me scam on government agencies and in the streets of America taking honestly given charity away from those who are in need.
Plus, they create and foster greater cynicism on the part of the general public when said public learns the depths of their laziness, duplicity and greed.
Screw 'em all. Give to a decent charity, like the Salvation Army or the Red Cross, who have the highest ratio of money to the public and smallest of money to administration of said charities.

INNOCENTS BETRAYED -- Just say NO to gun control

CranioColonic Displacement

There are a couple of guys that hang out at the corner of Capitol Park in Sacramento who are obviously hippies or Viet Vets. (Right age bracket anyway) And they are exercising their right of free speech with signs aimed at traffic.
Not the usual "Hi, I'm homeless and/or lazy so give me money" signs. Political opinion signs.
Good for them. Use that First Amendment. Express yourself.
But, OMG!
These use the swastika under a list of conservative organizations or persons. i.e. Palin, Tea Party, the list goes on.
I understand how the ill informed and undereducated might hold low opinions of those groups or persons, but to equate them with Nazis.
That is far beyond the pale.
It also negates the import of any other messages these individuals might wish to convey to the average motoring public in downtown Sacramento.
Such as "end the war", "bring our boys home". which I am in agreement with, although for different reasons and thought processes.
These two gentlemen are long haired, not a bad thing by itself, overweight, over 50, and expressing irrational opinions. Altogether not a combination guaranteed to engender sympathy or agreement in the few moments the average driver has to scan the signs full of opinions and slanders directed at the conservative right.
Anyway, sometimes, ya just gotta wonder. Rx

Hayek, economist and oracle

F. Hayek, is one of the greatest minds in Economics.
His "The Road to Serfdom" is an illustration of the state of the world and America today.
We, the citizens, have become serfs.
We have little or no choice about the rules, regulations and laws that are enacted to rule our daily lives.
We have absolutely no choice or voice about the extreme taxation that burdens us virtually into oblivion.
We are at the mercy of thugs, crooks, police and, even worse, politicians.
Politicians are the visible portions of the new aristocracy that runs the country to suit themselves. Recent developments on the national front illustrate this beautifully.
Thugs and crooks exist in a kind of limbo where they emerge to take from us, similar to politicians, our possessions, our money, our very lives and they return to that space where they hide to emerge at their leisure.
Our courts are riddled with "pragmatists" and "realists" who would rather make a deal than actually go to court for a conviction. Plea bargaining is the modern way.
Meanwhile our prisons are costing millions in tax dollars to keep drug USERS in prison. While the real criminals like dealers, importers and the like who can afford attorneys walk around scot free.
The thugs and crooks who actually end up doing time, see it as a vacation with three hots and a cot. And they spend their time learning the next way to steal from you.
The University of San Quentin, where they teach Burglary 101, Identity Theft for Fun and Profit, Kidnapping Made Easy, and, of course, Torture for Enemies and Victims.
Read history. Man has been here before, and apparently will be here again in the overall scheme of things.
But, we are concerned with RIGHT NOW.
We just have to survive this cycle as a nation and a people. We can do it.
