Vote!

I put up a poll asking what people think of the Second Amendment, and as of Tuesday, one person has voted. No, it wasn't me.

With the poll numbers being so lopsided, (1 vote: 100%), I decided to extend the end date for the poll.

Please, for the sake of my dignity and the dignity of this blog, vote!



[UPDATE] Due to technical issues, I've had to eliminate the poll. I don't know what I'm doing. Is there a comp tech in the house?

America: 1776-1984

The Supreme Court is going to rule Monday* on whether or not the Constitution counts anymore. Of course, we can make an educated guess on how they’re going to rule.

Interestingly enough, they chose to wait and rule at the last minute before the summer dismissal to rule. I would imagine that most of them will be out of the country. Smart move on their part.

We can expect quite a big response to this. Some will be whining about it, but I'm sure most will be defending the decision. The Brady Bun--…er…Campaign will probably be parading in the streets, but only if they get a permit to exercise their First Amendment Right.

Free Speech is a privilege, not a right. Otherwise, why would you have to get a permit?

Freedom against unreasonable searches and seizures is a privilege, not a right. Otherwise, why would the Strike Teams break into houses after natural disasters and take away any protection against looters or ask to see your papers at unlawful roadblocks, for no apparent or lawful reason.

Powers delegated to the States or to the people are privileges, not rights. Otherwise, why would the Federal Government -- among other things -- remove thousands of National Guard troops from border states, while the state legislatures beg them to allow the “National Guard” to “Guard the Nation”.

So, why should the Second Amendment be any different?

[UPDATE] 6/26: The Supreme Court has ruled against the D.C. Gun Ban. Huzzah!

Has it Become Destructive of These Ends?

I never like to just post a link to a story, but I feel that there is a time and place for everything.

I would only like to say that this is sensitive topic that no one seems to care about, which makes it all the more serious.

And I feel words alone cannot describe the sobering emotions that things such as this bring into one's mind.

Never in America?

Sooner or Later, God Will Cut You Down!

David Rockefeller, the man many would call “American Capitalism incarnate“, wrote this in Memoirs, (p.405): “For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” (Emphasis added for those who skim through quotes)

Unfortunately for true freedom loving Americans, the House Committee on Un-American Activities expired in 1975. Otherwise, he should be investigated for conspiring with foreign entities to overthrow the Constitution, and then imprisoned.

And by the way, what does he mean by “conspiring with others”? What others? This is a truly astounding quote, as it is an admission of there actually being a group of other people trying to bring down the United States of America.

But what is this group?

In 1954, David Rockefeller instituted the group known as Bilderburg. This group first met in The Netherlands at a place named Hotel de Bilderburg.

This is a closed door organization, with the members taking an oath of secrecy (they like to call it “an understanding“, a term also used by the Bohemian Club), though some details of each meeting are leaked by the aides of the high ranking officials.

So what is discussed at these annual meetings? Sports? Book of the Month? Or maybe major foreign policy, internal policy, and monetary policy?

What’s wrong with that? I’ll tell you what’s wrong: Did you vote for the Kings of Spain or Sweden? How about the Princes of Wales, Orange, Liechtenstien, or Denmark?

Don’t you think that the little matter of state sovereignty might slightly be infringed when foreigners whose names you can’t pronounce and you’ve never even heard of are telling your government what to do about everything from traffic laws to trade relations?

Did you even hear that 150 of these people were even meeting in the same hotel in Chantilly, Virginia? Why not? Haven’t been keeping up with the news?

Well, it seems the Mainstream Media decided not to cover this little happening; it’s not big enough for a slow news day. They’ll talk about surfboarding ducks, but not about a hundred or so major political heads and policy makers staying at the Westfields Marriot in Virginia to hold a secret meeting.

If they even caught wind of a possible secret meeting between Lost producers and Paris Hilton at a Motel 8 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, they’d beat down the door to get in. But not 150 kings, queens, presidents, and such. BORINGGGGGG.

Bilderburg: Web Search it! You can find a complete list of attendees here at Wikipedia.

Just Shoot Me

Many moons ago, Glenn Beck said that if someone put a gun to his head and asked who he was going to vote for, he would answer Mitt Romney. Glenn Beck’s stand-in Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo said that if someone put a gun to his head and asked “Obama or a third Bush term?”, he would answer Bush.

I wish I could be a stand-in for Glenn Beck, if not for any other reason than to say: “If someone put a gun to my head and said: ‘Obama, McCain, or a third Bush term?’, I’d say ’Shoot!’

Please observe strict gun safety rules when handling any firearm. The moderator wants Ron Paul to be President, and he advocates writing Ron Paul's name in, as his name will not appear on the ballot. The moderator watches Glenn Beck regularly, even though Mr. Beck can be a bit of a Neo-Con at times. The moderator does not nescesarily like his stand-in Pags, as he is boring and not as amusing as Glenn. If you would like to link to this article you may. Restrictions apply, results may vary.

State of the Republic Announcement

"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right – a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit." ~ Abraham Lincoln, (speech in Congress January 1848).

This defines the American ideology of absolute freedom. As the farmer of old tossed the reigns of his plow horse about his back and shoved the plow through the sod, so does mankind bind himself to his government. As it is man’s prerogative to plow his fields, it is also his prerogative, as it says in the Declaration of Independence, that:

“...when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

As I see it, the Declaration of Independence is our nation’s “official reason of existence”, and if the truths in said document be not truths, then we have no right for existence as a nation. But if it be so true, and if God has favored our cause for absolute freedom, then the Constitution, as the supreme law of the land, must be followed, and that according to God’s word.

But a matter has arisen regarding the portion of the Constitution know colloquially as the 2nd amendment; some feel that the law should be changed to fit their own personal opinions. This would be disobedience to God, because He says to submit to the higher powers, and the powers don’t get any higher than the Constitution in this country.

Now, every state in this Union of States has a "state constitution", each one being unique.
Some state constitutions have guarantees that if the state legislature voted to leave the Union, they could do so. When such a thing was pulled off in the 1860's, though, it was met with absolute hostility, and the most insane war this nation has ever seen ensued.

Now, the Sovereign State of Montana is threatening secession if the Supreme Court of the United States of America rules against the United States Constitution. More than forty politicians, including the Secretary of State, are saying that secession would be their response, because Montana’s statehood hinged on the 2nd amendment when it first became a state.

This, I feel, is the best response that any state in the Union could give to tyrannical despotism.
No bloodshed, no civil riots, just a quiet bowing out.

But what do you think?

Take the poll on the right side of the screen, and if your answer isn’t there, or you want to explain your answer, please place your comments on this post.

[UPDATE] The poll has ended in a tie.
