The Individual vs. The Collective


A man is not saved from eternal death by the will of the collective, only by the blood of Jesus and his own personal acceptance thereof.

A man is not fed or clothed by the work of the collective, but by the sweat of his own brow.

Neither does a man give of the fruit of his labor to another via the collective, rather of his own free will and determination.

A man does not rest from his work by decision of the collective, but of his own choosing.

A man does not owe the collective anything; there is nothing to "give back".

A man is held responsible not for the deeds or misdeeds of the collective, but according to his own merit.

No man belongs to the collective, each is his own person.

"Society's needs come before the individual's needs."

~Adolf Hitler

"Individual liberty is individual power, and as the power of a community is a mass compounded of individual powers, the nation which enjoys the most freedom must necessarily be in proportion to its numbers the most powerful nation."

~John Quincy Adams

Arming the People at Large

"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
~Alexander Hamilton

ST. LOUIS — A city alderman frustrated with the police response to rising crime called Tuesday on residents to arm themselves to protect their lives and property. ~AP

Charles Troupe is a breath of fresh air to the lungs of our people; a government official that wants the people armed. A civil servant that doesn't want absolute authority, and one that gives heed to the Constitution and its framers' advice.

The state of affairs in St. Louis is appalling; the police have all but given up. They've put 911 on an automated answering-machine. Now, that's bad.

"The community has to be ready to defend itself, because it's clear the economy is going to get worse, and criminals are getting more bold." ~Troupe

The legislatures of our local governments should understand the principles here; normally, the opposite is done.

Of course, Troupe has found opposition, amongst whom is St. Louis criminologist Richard Rosenfeld.

"Much of the problem is free and easy access to guns. This hope that by putting guns in the right hands will have an influence on criminals is a false hope. There's no evidence for that."
~Rosenfeld

Mr. Rosenfeld, you might want to explain your opinion to the Holocaust survivors, violent crime victims, and the families of hostages that are taken and killed everyday all over the world.

Any man, woman, or child that espouses such un-American sentiments about disarming American citizens should be bitterly ashamed.

To Execute the Laws

"The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials."
~Washington Post

"Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."
~Posse Commitatus Act

"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power."
~Reasons for Separation, U.S. Declaration of Independence

Beating Swords into Gift Cards

It appears as though the practice of "turning in" guns for worthless stuff has again returned to America.

Well, just south of Los Angeles, anyway. (There's a difference.)

From Compton, Calif., via CBS2.com:

"Authorities gave $100 gift cards to those turning in firearms and $200 for assault weapons.

The gift cards were redeemable at Best Buy, Target, Home Depot and Ralphs supermarkets."

"Saturday's event was at a Ralphs supermarket, 280 E. Compton Blvd., where the weapons were collected by sheriff's personnel and volunteers at a booth set up in the parking lot."


"The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons.
They are left in full possession of them."
~Zachariah Johnson
Virginia Constitutional Ratification Convention, 1788

The Adoption of Socialism in America

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."
~Norman Thomas, American Socialist Party Presidential Candidate

"My name is Barack Obama, and I approve this message."
~Barack H. Obama, First Socialist President of these United States

The Jayhawk's Quarry

I have started a satellite blog comprised of all of my latest hunting pictures.

You can link to it via the words The Jayhawk's Quarry to the right.

It is still a work in progress, so you can expect some changes in the near future.

Thank you.

Pumpkin and Pecan

Those are the names of the two turkeys that George W. Bush, incumbent President of the United States and leader of the free world, pardoned.

Yes, he pardoned two turkeys while two men who engaged in the felonious act of protecting our border sit in a prison cell.

If you will remember, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, the two border agents that were imprisoned for shooting a drug runner, are still wasting away in jail.

Yeah, remember them?

In my opinion, there are a few high-ranking people that should be serving time in their stead.

Johnny Sutton, the filthy attorney that sent them to prison, also gave the drug runner freedom in exchange for his testimony. This should be considered a criminal act, and Sutton should at least be disbarred, if not imprisoned.

George Bush and Johnny Sutton have been friends since the 1980's, and Sutton has even received appointed positions and nominations by Bush.

Yes, wonderful Christian Conservatives all.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ramos and Compean, we won't forget you.

Media Ignorance

Having seen all the stories that the mainstream media has reported about suicides, bombings, and the latest celebrity "news", am I alone in my disgust that they haven't mentioned the Berg v. Obama case?

Is it too boring to discuss the fact that Obama's qualifications for the highest office in the land are being challenged by an attorney? Is it too trivial to note that the case is going to be heard by the Supreme Court? Is it so mundane that it doesn't even bear mention?

I found this video which fully explains the case.



This should be international mainstream headline news, yet there is complete silence. Why?

(Notice: The above video was made before the elections. Forgive the horribly secular music; I don't like it either.)

unCivil War Poll: Results

The tally is as follows:

Civil War: 5
War for Southern Independence: 19
2nd War for American Independence: 8
None of the Above: 1

So shall it be written, so shall it be done.

I am, however, curious. Who voted for "None of the Above", and what did you have in mind?
