Who Said This?

Posted on 2013-02-02 by TPOL Nathan

Who said this?

“Absolutely, I mean if you look at the Second Amendment it was that you would have militia to protect yourself in case the government came and attacked citizens.”

“First of all, if the government were to come to disarm you, you would not be able to use an automatic weapon to defend yourself. Let’s be serious. We’re in a world of drones now so the Second Amendment would not help you in that area. It is absurd to try to cite that.”

“People do not have the right to unregulated rights in this country.  And I think that for those that use the Second Amendment [they] are conceding that they have no argument on why you need a magazine with 100 rounds of ammunition or 30 rounds of ammunition.”

Answer: Al Sharpton. Stupid is as stupid does, and it is hard to get more stupid (at least in public and giving the appearance thereof) than this.

Imagine: no “right to unregulated rights”   Seriously, people, why is this man not in an insane asylum so that he won’t hurt other people?  First off, thanks in large part to people like Sharpton, the government DOES come and attack you for no honest reason or purpose: we read about it every day.  As anyone familiar with the history of Philadelphia or DC or NYC knows.  Second, if being “a world of drones” makes the Second Amendment absurd, why don’t all those “nasty folks” over in Afghanistan and Pakistan and Yemen give up?  Because even in a world of drones, adequate weaponry CAN help you defend yourselves and your family and neighbor from being attacked by government or other thugs.  Sharpton’s comments about “unregulated rights” should be enshrined next to his buddy’s comments about Guam tipping over.

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #13-05D: Crash of 2009, Faith, and Fun

Posted on 2013-02-02 by TPOL Nathan

Stupid people – Crash of 2009 – Theft by government
Krugman: No Debt Crisis
(Political Outcast)  Krugman, the liberal economist who has found a home at the New York Times writing columns about how everyone else is an idiot, recently responded to a question on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” about Paul Ryan’s statement on the debt and deficit. Ryan stated that we’re spending a trillion dollars more than we take in, and that if we continue down this path, we’ll have a debt crisis. He said that the debt crisis will be manifested when our financial system has collapsed and our economy has stalled.

But Krugman laughed at such assertions:  “There’s a whole bunch of reasons why that’s not true. First of all… that trillion-dollar deficit is overwhelmingly the result of a depressed economy. And when the economy’s depressed it’s good to run a deficit. You don’t want the government to try and balance its budget right now.”

Nathan: Stupid is as stupid does.  This man is a mirror of the stupidity and idiocy of DC politicians.  Even Ryan does not seem to understand (or is afraid to admit) that we are in a “DEBT” and “DECIFICIT” and “SPENDING” crisis which is beyond solution at this time with politics as usual.  You don’t give an imbecile control of a one-ton car or a submachine gun – or even a 90cc scooter or a bb-gun!

Hoplophobes and Hoploclasts – Government-run, tax-funded schools
Massachusetts: Boy, 5, warned by school for making Lego toy gun
(Fox News)  “A 5-year-old boy in Massachusetts may be suspended after he reportedly built a toy gun out of Legos during an after-school program. Joseph Cardosa, the student, is part of the after-school program at Hyannis West Elementary School,  on Cape Cod, MyFoxBoston.com reported. A few days ago, his parents received a letter that said the boy has received his first written warning for using toys inappropriately, and that upon a second written warning, he will be suspended from the program for two weeks. The boy’s parents, Shelia Cruz and Octavio Cardosa, say the school is taking things too far.” [editor’s note: Ya think? – SAT] (01/29/13)

Nathan: This is one of several stories which illustrate the sheer funk and panic of the educrats and the various hoplophobic groups and people of this nation.  Years ago, I pointed out that the way “gun safety” is taught by 99% of schools and too many people is stupid.  It would be like teaching water safety by making it illegal to let children go into a pool, a stream, or the ocean until they are 18, and requiring that no fountain, pond, pool or five-gallon-bucket of water (such as a fish tank!) be allowed around a school.  but we’ve gone beyond that: this is equal to not allowing a bottle of water to be in school, lest someone might mistake it for a 55-gal drum of water enticing little children to come drown.

Our right to defend ourselves
Arkansas: Senate OKs concealed guns in church
(USA Today) “The Arkansas Senate has passed a bill lifting a ban on carrying concealed weapon in church. The proposal, which goes to the Arkansas House for consideration, would allow churches to decide which, if any, worshippers with concealed carry permits can bring their firearms inside.” (01/29/13)

Nathan: This is total garbage.  Not only is it NOT the business of the Arkansas legislature, but it is not the business of the elders or preacher – even with the trumped up title of “pastor” or “bishop,” to decide.  If the right to keep and bear arms is subject to a property owner’s whim, then so is the right of free speech, slavery, and right to a fair trial.  GOD gives us those rights: no one who claims to be His follower has ANY right to take them away.  If we have someone present on our property that we do not want to trust with a weapon or free speech or anything else, we DO have the right to demand that they leave or forbid them to enter our property, but not to take their freedoms away just because they are on our property.  And when someone is a member of a church (as with a family), it has to be one way or the other.  The entire congregation MIGHT be able to agree (stupidly and insanely) to disarm themselves, but no more.

Self Defense
Florida: Man fatally shot after clinging to top of car for 10 miles
(South Florida Sun-Sentinel)  “Nikki Y. McNeil, 33, was trying to leave an Ocala residence Saturday evening when Lamark D. Tucker Sr., 36, her ex-boyfriend — and father of her three children — took away both McNeil’s car keys and cell phone, according to a news release from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. McNeil then used spare keys to leave, but as McNeil pulled away, Lamark jumped onto the hood of the car and held on while continually threatening McNeil as she drove nearly ten miles, the release stated. McNeil, deputies said, stopped at least twice asking people for help. Finally McNeil fired a bullet once through the windshield which struck Tucker, who was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to the report.” (01/28/13)

Nathan: First off, I believe this was clearly self-defense, but it was NOT necessary except that people refused to help.  Were they obligated to?  No, but it was the right, moral thing to do.  Was there NO one in ten miles in Florida willing to even call for assistance?  No one armed to demand that the man stop?  Of course, this was also the result of stupid choices:  two unmarried people making three children together? A woman that could not – in South Florida – find a sheriff’s suboffice or police station to drive to?  A pair of irresponsible people ruining their own lives and those of three innocent children should be a caution tale for all.

Self-defense NOT – Faith
Woman orders hold-up man out “in Jesus’ name”
(News4Jax.com) LAKE CITY, Fla. – …Lake City police say Derek Lee, 24, entered a house on Lakeview Avenue where the homeowner had 14 women over for a jewelry party.  Police say Lee was wearing a dark ski cap on his head along with a bandana (sic) across his face. He allegedly showed a gun and ordered the women to hand over their money and phones.  One woman who thought it was a party gag pushed his hand aside while laughing saying, “It’s only a water gun.” Police say Lee held the gun to that woman’s head and said, “I’m not joking, I’m going to shoot someone, give me your money.” Jacquie Hagler, who owns the house, says she then put her faith into action. “When I realized what was going on, I stood up and said, ‘In the name of Jesus, get out of my house now.’ And he said, ‘I’m going to shoot someone.’ And I said it again, real boldly,” Hagler said. “Everybody started chanting, ‘Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,’ and he did a quick scan of the room, and ran out the door as fast as he could go.”

Nathan: Thanks to Darryl for this one. Incredible faith, incredible stupidity on the part of the robber, but obviously he figured none of those women would be armed and that he was in a perfect situation.  The point of commenting on this story:  they SHOULD have been armed; someone should have been.  I have discussed this problem with many religious people about this, and am often told that carrying a weapon shows I do not have enough faith in God.  The argument that seems to work best is this one:

We are told to pray for our daily bread and trust in the Lord that He will provide it, but that does not mean we are not supposed to go out and WORK for a living.  We can pray to be protected from robbery and thieves and housefires, and we are to trust in the Lord that we will be (if it is what is needed), but that does not stop us from having and using locks and fire extinguishers – nor are we accused of not having enough faith in God when we buy and use those things.

Mama’s Note: I wrote something about that very thing a number of years ago.

Trusting God – No Greater Love

St. Paul said that those who will not work should not eat. He admonished everyone to live quietly, peacefully, as long as it depended on them. He wrote a great deal about what it means to love your neighbor and the grace of hospitality, charity and hard work.

So, if we “pray for someone,” we are asking God to help them – trusting Him – but if we do not offer anything of ourselves with it, what does it mean? Do we pray and then forget them? Or do we also visit the one in the hospital or the jail or the nursing home? Do we only pray for a family having a hard time, or do we also show up with a box of groceries or to help fix the roof?

There seems to be a great deal more to trusting God than just wishing for everything to be good and ignoring our own part in it. We know that God will provide food, yet we don’t sit around an empty table expecting the food to appear like magic.

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #13-05C: Milk, food fights, and media lies

Posted on 2013-02-02 by TPOL Nathan

More examples of stupid government, theft by government, our “justice” system, “public” schools, and worse crimes against humanity and liberty.

Stupid government – Theft by government
Louisiana: Store chain stopped from selling cheap milk
(Daily Caller)  Louisiana state regulators recently cracked down on a supermarket chain’s weekly promotional deal because it was selling milk too cheaply — which violates state law. The upscale Fresh Market was selling gallons of milk for $2.99 as part of a weekly promotional deal. Louisiana requires that retailer price markups be at least six percent above the invoice and shipping costs of the product.

Nathan: I am SO glad that we have government to protect us from evil scams like loss leaders on milk and other things that save families a few bucks.  Aren’t you?

Nazgul – Government-ruined, theft-funded schools
Arizona: Teen not guilty in food-fight assault
(AZ Family via Freedom’s Phoenix) After reviewing cell phone video and hearing from witnesses, a judge ruled that a teenager involved in a food fight at Horizon High School did not assault a teacher.

Conner Floyd was a freshman when the food fight — a senior prank — broke out in June. He was tackled by a teacher as he tried to leave the cafeteria. That teacher claimed Conner assaulted him. With that allegation and support for the teacher from the school, the teen was charged with aggravated assault — a felony. “I was in defense mode, I was in fetal position, I was shocked… I’m on my back getting hit in my left side right in the gut,” Floyd, who now attends a different school, told Carina Sonn in September…. “During trial the Court heard not only eyewitness testimony but also reviewed the video of the incident and still photos which appear to depict the Assistant Principal kicking Conner while the Teacher had Conner pinned to the ground with his knee dug into his shoulder,” wrote Jason Lamm, Conner’s lawyer, in a news release.

Nathan: So, when are the charges being filed for aggravated assault against the vice principal? And how long will he spend in prison for filing a false police report and false accusation?  Of course… not now, not ever.

Home front: killing children – Culture wars: killing babies
Rep. Franks: Obama Made Case for Ending Abortion at Sandy Hook Prayer Vigil
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: But you must remember, Obama and the rest of the people who want to kill in the womb DO NOT THINK THAT the unborn are HUMAN.  Some would say that anyone under the age of 1 (or 2, or 3) is NOT human: which leads to the result that if this had been a preschool and 20 children died, not 1st and 2nd graders, that they would not have cared.  If they really do care about children other their own elite children now, they certainly don’t care about Afghani or Pakistani or Egyptian or Libyan or Syrian children.  Just like their predecessors (and spiritual ancestors) didn’t care about AmerInd children (“nits make lice”) or Filippino or Cuban or German or Japanese children.

Hoploclasts – Mainstream media lies
Five common misconceptions about gun mass shootings
(The Blaze) “We tracked 62 mass shootings wherein 5 or more people were either shot or killed from the early 1980’s to now; 41 times pistols were used, 12 times shotguns or some type of hunting-styled rifle was used, and 9 times semi-automatic rifles were used (14 percent),” Hunter told TheBlaze.

“Of the 62 incidents that we were able to track, 42 of the shooters had some kind of mental illness or mental illness history of some kind, 16 of the shooters had unknown or unclear history of mental illness, and only 4 of the shooters had no mental illness history.

“According to the FBI’s website, during the time period between 2007 until 2011, there were 8,967 people that were murdered with knives or cutting instruments; during that same time period, there were 3,918 people that were murdered with either rifles or shotguns,” Hunter told TheBlaze.

“According to the FBI’s website, during the time period between 2007 until 2011, there were 2,918 people that were murdered with blunt objects (baseball bats, hammers, etc.),” Hunter reminds us. “During that same time period, there were 1,874 people that were murdered with rifles.”

“Another gun law isn’t the answer,” Hunter flatly states. “Nationally, there are currently 243 pages of federal gun laws and 480 pages of state gun laws in effect.”

Nathan: I am quoting a lot more than usual from this story, because this is valuable information that lovers of liberty can use to counteract the lies filling the airwaves and the printed pages and web pages today.  People kill other people: they use anything and everything they can.  People can defend themselves against other people trying to kill them, and do so every day.  An eighty-pound child or ninety-pound grandmother can’t really defend themselves against a 250-pound man with a baseball bat or fists. The most effective way to do so is WITH A FIREARM.

Hoplophiles – Hoploclasts
Buy Guns On The Cheap At Gun Buybacks »
(Personal Liberty) Seattle gun enthusiasts, realizing that Americans willing to hand over their firearms for such little money often don’t know what they have, were drawn to a recent gun buyback.

Nathan: Hmm.  This seems like a very good tactic, used with plenty of people and recording equipment to protect against the rage of cops and hoploclasts who will be insanely angry over losing the chance to destroy guns.  I’ve decided that these buyback/destruction events have become to the anti-gun movements what abortion is to the Tranzi “feminist” and “pro-choice” movements: something akin to sacrificing children to Moloch or burying food and treasure with their dead monarchs.  Sick, and so I’m glad to see people fighting back.

Home front – Stupid government
DHS warns of hack threat to network gear
(Reuters via Freedom News Daily)  “The Department of Homeland Security urged computer users on Tuesday to disable a common networking technology feature, after researchers warned that hackers could exploit flaws to gain access to tens of millions of vulnerable devices. The U.S. government’s Computer Emergency Readiness Team, on its website, advised consumers and businesses to disable a feature known as Universal Plug and Play or UPnP.” [editor’s note: The usual DHS over-reaction; sensible users pay attention to what is being downloaded, while their virus-protection programs warn them of dangerous downloads – SAT] (01/29/13)

Nathan: Gee, is DHS getting hard up for ways to prove its relevance?  Not only is this an over-reaction, as Steve T. points out, but it is NOT in their mission statement, and is a bad idea to boot.

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #13-05B: More Stupid

Posted on 2013-01-31 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Winter storms and roads and travel often do not mix, and although state budgets seem to be climbing, and the FedGov demands more and more money – supposedly to provide “essential services” through grants to states and local government for things like roads – more and more services such as snow-plowing and pothole-filling just are NOT getting done. Wyoming legislators seem to want to raise fuel taxes 10 cents a gallon, whinging about their poverty; they are not alone in that. Things are collapsing, folks, and the entire situation is going gradually more and more negative.  We all need to be prepared.

Meanwhile, the stupidity of those around us, especially our “political leaders,” seems to grow as things worsen.  Is there a correlation?

Mama’s Note: Not to mention the fact that every government agency seems to have plenty of money for more guns, ammunition, tanks and so forth… and grand plans in many cases to escalate the war on everything when/if the new prohibitions are issued against certain guns, magazines, and probably other things as they get bolder.

Senate in Action – Stupid people (D)
Feinstein: ‘NRA Is Venal, They Come After You’
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: This is the idiot who puts her finger on the trigger and waves the muzzle of a semi-auto rifle at her staff and reporters, while calling for their ban.  This is the idiot that corruptly ensured that her husband’s businesses benefited from (or were exempted from) federal laws.  This is… an idiot.  Honestly, I’m feeling better about the NRA than I have for a long time – they are still saying and doing stupid things but don’t seem to be quite as bad and compromising quite as much this time.  But I’m not joining up, or allying myself with them.  Even if they do go after Feinstein.  We are indeed fortunate that the Second Amendment recognizes that we have the right to defend ourselves against stupid people like her.

Senate in Action – Stupid people (R)
Sen. Ted Cruz to House GOP: ‘Stop Reading the ‘New York Times’
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: Oh, sure, easy for you to say – you have a higher reading skill level than most of your colleagues do.  It isn’t the READING that is the problem, it is the BELIEVING that is the problem.

The “Messiah” – Islamic wars: Arab Street Front
Obama Recalls His Response to Libya Crisis as One Marked by U.S. Leadership
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: Is he just lying to us, or is he lying to himself as well?

Mama’s Note: I’m afraid he’s believed his own lies for so long that he probably has no idea.

Congress in action
Rand Paul: ‘Right and Wrong Have Become Subservient to Hedonism of the Moment’
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: Especially in the Senate and House of Representatives.  But we’ve seen it coming for a long time.

Stupid Government Tricks – Culture Wars: Women in Combat
Joint Chiefs Chairman: ‘We Can Figure Out Privacy’ for Young Ladies in Frontline Combat, Including in Navy SEALS and Delta Force
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: NO, THEY CANNOT.  Once more, this man proves he is a political general.  He may have once been a good officer, but now he is sucking up to the “messiah” and all the Tranzis, and just lying through his teeth and telling them what they want to believe and want the nation to believe.  Parents, as I just told the mother of two, keep your children OUT of the military.  Get them private, personal military training if needed (and it is), but DON’T help them to enlist if you value their soul, their morals, their values, and liberty.

Stupid government – Stupid people – Our right to self-defense
Biden: 1994 Assault Weapons Ban ‘Worked Too Well’
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: YET ANOTHER stupid man, but then, we’ve known that for a LONG time about Uncle Joe, batty Uncle Joe.  And a liar – if he really can tell the difference between right and wrong.  Data from nearly a decade ago showed that the AWB gave a lot of profits to a lot of people but didn’t do a THING for crime rates and protection:  lifting it resulted in reduced crime rates almost nationwide, even in the big ugly urban trash heaps.

Mama’s Note: Indeed, Biden is one scary idiot. The ONLY problem I have with impeaching Obama alone is the fact that this idiot would then occupy the throne. Impeach all of them. That’s the only way.

The Second Amendment: Constitutional Right or a Governmental Wrong?

Posted on 2013-01-30 by MamaLiberty

By Robert Greenslade
© Nitwit Press

The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School has once again thrust the Second Amendment into the spotlight. Supporters of the Amendment claim they have a constitutional or Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Opponents counter that even if that were the case, the federal government was granted the general power to place restraints on the right. Both of these assertions are based on a misconception concerning the intent of the document known as the Bill of Rights.

When the Bill of Rights was submitted to the individual States for ratification, it was prefaced with a preamble. As stated in the preamble, the purpose of the Amendments was to prevent the federal government from “misconstruing or abusing its powers.” To accomplish this, “further declaratory and restrictive clauses” were being recommended. The Amendments, when adopted, did not create any so-called constitutional rights or grant the federal government any power over individual rights; they placed additional restraints and qualifications on the powers of the federal government concerning the rights enumerated in the Amendments.

If the Second Amendment is read through the preamble, we find it was incorporated into the Bill of Rights as a “declaratory and restrictive clause” to prevent the federal government from “misconstruing or abusing its power” to infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms.

Another way to understand the original intent of the Second Amendment is re-write it through the preamble:

“Because a well-regulated Militia is necessary to the security of a free State, the federal government is expressly denied the power to infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear Arms.” (EN 1)

In the author’s opinion, the preamble and original intent of the Amendments has been suppressed by the institutions of government because it would expose their usurpation of power and perversion of Amendments contained in the Bill of Rights.

By advancing the myth that the Amendments grant the American people their individual rights, the federal government has been able to convert enumerated restraints and qualifications on its power into legislative, executive, judicial and administrative power over individual rights. The federal government claims it was granted the constitutional authority to determine the extent of the individual rights enumerated in the Amendments and/or impose “reasonable restraints” on those rights. This assertion is absurd. The federal government does not have the constitutional authority to ignore, circumvent, modify, negate or remove constitutional restraints placed on its power by the Amendments, or convert them into a power over the individual right enumerated in the particular restraint.

A denial of power or an enumerated restraint on the exercise of power is not subject to interpretation or modification by the entity the restraint is being imposed upon. The restraints imposed by the Amendments, which were adopted 4 years after the Constitution was ratified, override the legislative, executive, judicial or administrative powers of the federal government. If this were not the case, then the restraints would be meaningless because the federal government could simply circumvent, modify or remove them. Why would the States have requested and adopted enumerated restraints on federal power, subsequent to their ratification of the Constitution, if the federal government possessed the authority to nullify them?

When the federal government infringes on one of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights it is not violating anyone’s constitutional rights; it is violating the additional restraint or qualification placed on its power by the particular Amendment where the right is enumerated. The distinction between rights and restraints is critical.

As stated in the Declaration of Independence, the American people have unalienable rights that come from a higher source than government or a written document. By acknowledging that people have natural rights, which are bestowed by a creator, the Founders laid the foundation for the principle that government does not have the lawful authority to take away or infringe on those rights. This principle was incorporated into the preamble and structure of the Amendments to secure individual rights from government encroachment; that is why they were designed and imposed as restraints on the exercise of power.

If the individual rights of the people had been created by the Constitution or an amendment to the document, then they would cease to be unalienable because the right would depend on the existence of a document. If the document or a provision of the document disappeared, so would the right. The belief that individual rights were created by a written document has opened the door for the federal government to claim the power to define the extent of any right enumerated in an Amendment. This has transformed constitutional restraints placed on federal power into subjective determinations of individual rights by the institutions of government. By failing to understand the difference between amendments that create rights and amendments that impose restraints on government, the American people are watching their individual rights vanish as they are reduced to the status of privileges bestowed by government because the constitutional restraints placed on federal power are being replaced by government decree.

Opponents of the Second Amendment always try to diminish the right enumerated in the Amendment by asserting that rights are not absolute. This is just another straw man argument because the Amendment is about imposing a restraint of the powers of the federal government concerning a right: not granting a right or defining the extent of a right. In addition, a review of the Second Amendment shows that the restraint imposed by the Amendment does not contain any exceptions.

If firearms owners continue to use terms like “constitutional right” or “Second Amendment right” to describe the right to keep and bear arms, the federal government will continue to violate the restraint and assert the power to impose general restraints on the right. In order to begin correcting the perversion of the document known as the Bill of Rights, supporters of the Second Amendment need to use the term “Second Amendment restraint” to describe the purpose and effect of the Amendment.

By using correct terminology, supporters of the right to keep and bear arms can change the dynamics of the debate. For example. What would be the response if the firearms community made the following statement when discussing the issue: “We do not have a constitutional or Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We have the right to keep and bear arms and that right was secured from federal encroachment by the additional restraint imposed on federal power by the Second Amendment.” Not only is this statement constitutionally correct, but it could also transform the debate into a teachable moment that goes beyond the Second Amendment.

The preamble to the document known as the Bill of Rights is the key to resurrecting the original intent of the Amendments. Since the stated purpose of the Second Amendment was to place an enumerated restraint on federal power, that government does not have the general authority to impose restraints on the right enumerated in the Amendment because the Amendment placed a constitutional restraint on the federal government.

Endnote 1-The word “because” can used at the beginning of a sentence to introduce a dependent clause. The first part of the Second Amendment is a dependent clause because a well-regulated militia is dependent upon the people’s right to keep and bear arms not visa versa. Therefore, it is, and would have been acceptable to use the word “because” at the beginning of the Amendment This change maintains the intent and sentence structure of the Amendment but makes it read in a manner that is more in tune with modern sentence structure.

Hoploclasts – Stupid people
Virginia lawmaker who brandished AK-47 in session is disbarred felon
(Daily Caller)

Nathan: This thuggish politician (a Democrat, as it happens) has a rap sheet a gangbanger would envy, had to be asked to take his finger off the trigger as he waved it around, and had to have violated multiple laws.  His actions can be, in my opinion, considered threatening and therefore terroristic – if a soldier can be arrested for two stray 9-mm rounds in his first aid bag, just sixty miles away, and if a grade-schooler can be detained and interrogated for three hours without her parents because she had a Little Pony bubble-gun.  This man belongs in prison and not in the House of Delegates.

Stupid people
Ob-gyn journal urges mandatory screening of women for abuse
(CNSNews.com) This power-trip behavior by men, according to the Feb. 2013 issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology, includes explicit attempts to impregnate a partner against her will or force her to have sex against her will; control the outcome of a pregnancy by forcing its continuation or abortion; and sabotaging birth control methods by “hiding, withholding, or destroying a partner’s oral contraceptives; breaking or poking holes in a condom on purpose or removing a condom during sex in an attempt to promote pregnancy; not withdrawing when that was the agreed upon method of contraception; and removing vaginal rings, contraceptive patches, or intrauterine devices.”

Nathan: Funny, eh?  At the same time as ONE batch of idiots claims that women are fully capable of ground combat: as tankers, infantry, and field artillery, another group says that they are so weak and require so much protection that special procedures must be created for medical services to protect them from their “partners.”  Frankly, most men immorally interested only in “getting a piece” are the MOST worried about their “female partner” getting knocked up, NOT “trying to promote pregnancy.”  This strange twisting of worldview into some sort of frantic action fantasy shows the psychology of this society and the “medical profession” as it decays into nothing but a government bureaucracy dedicated to maintaining a political clientele and power.

The “messiah’s” minions – Nazgul
Court: White House NLRB Appointments Violated Constitution
(CNSNews) On Jan. 4, 2012, Obama unilaterally named three people to the National Labor Relations Board (NRLB). The Senate—by a unanimous agreement of all 100 senators—had said that it was in fact still in session that day and not in the recess. — Yet despite the Senate’s unanimous declaration that it was in session, Obama unilaterally determined the Senate was in fact in “recess” on Jan. 4, 2012 and that he could therefore use the Constitution’s recess appointment power to directly appoint his three choices to the five-member National Labor Relations Board, thus denying the Senate its constitutional power to confirm or reject them. —Obama’s action was challenged in federal court by Noel Canning, a Pepsi distributor. The company argued that when the NRLB ruled against it in a dispute decided in February 2012, the board did not have its legally-required quorum of three members because Obama’s three recess appointments were not constitutional.

Nathan: It seems to me, as an outside observer, that this man willfully and intentionally violated the Constitution, broke the law of the land, and in addition, was incredibly disrespectful of Congress.  It would, to me, appear that we have an impeachable offense and that the President of the Senate (also known as the Vice President) should have this man arrested and stripped of all powers while the House approves a bill of impeachment and sends it to the Senate, which should be able to speedily find him guilty and remove him from office, since at least two-thirds of those currently in that body were there when he tried this smarmy little lawyer’s trick of his.

Mama’s Note: Leaving Biden on the throne, of course. That might get very interesting, as all of the big city “mayors” and other heavyweights jockeyed to push him around.

Three strategies to block gerrymandering of Electoral College
(The Nation, by John Nichols) “As Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus promotes one of the most blatant assaults on democracy in modern times — a scheme to gerrymander the Electoral College so that the loser of the popular vote could win key states and the presidency — the number-one question from frustrated citizens is: What can we do about it? After so many assaults on voting rights and the electoral process itself have been advanced, it is easy to imagine that Priebus, Karl Rove and their team could get away even with so audacious an initiative as the rigging of presidential elections. Priebus is counting on precisely that cynicism, as well as the neglect of the story by major media, to enable the plan to have Republican legislatures and governors in key swing states (Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin) arrange for the distribution of electoral votes not to winners of the popular vote statewide but to the winners of individual congressional districts.

Nathan: This is a commentary, but it is news and about news.  The reason I’m including this is because the hypocrisy of the Democrats is worse than ever in this.  Nebraska is the only state that currently has such a system, and the Democrats have praised it over and over again as a wonderful example of getting around that nasty Electoral College.  Now that the GOP has found this idea, it is suddenly evil – stealing our votes.  Garbage.  I believe the entire idea is wrong; it destroys one more vestige of the dead Republic.  (Indeed, I think not only should a presidential candidate get a majority – not just a plurality – of electoral votes, but should also carry a supermajority of states: three-quarters.  If none does, ALL the candidates should be disqualified and the election done over again.  but that is dreaming.)  Why cannot people see through the lies and hypocrisy of BOTH old parties?

Whitewashing the past – Bogus heroes (or Stupid people)
Note to a childhood hero
(The Libertarian Enterprise by AX Perez)  “Dear Dr. King, Thought I’d let you know how things have gone in the 44, nearly 45 years since you’ve passed. The good news is that state supported racism is a thing of the past in the United States. I would also like to inform you that your example inspired other people to make a stand and peacefully seek respect for their rights. … The bad news is that the bureaucrats have seized control of the enforcement of the laws enforcing what you accomplished. Instead of being judge by the content of one’s character or achievement, one must prove they are of the correct race and gender to meet quota, then they may compete based on ability, assuming someone doesn’t decide to come up with another politically determined criteria.” (01/21/13)

Nathan: This is a real disappointment, coming from one of TLE’s stable of writers especially.  ANY Libertarian who believes that Martin Luther King Jr. was a lover of freedom or liberty, or anything OTHER than a communist, is so incredibly blinded – if not just plain STUPID – that they should not be allowed to write for ANY “libertarian” publication and should be publicly branded as a dangerous hypocrite.  King’s efforts led DIRECTLY to this result that Perez so decries, as they were intended to do.  His writings make this clear; those who knew him who are not trying to establish his deity, know it.  He was a dangerous man and as much a danger to the nation then as his “disciples” are today. And besides, “state-supported racism” is NOT gone from the United States: it has just changed from racism against minority blacks to racism against majorities (Anglos) and other minorities (AmerInd, Asian-origin, etc.).  The state is still evil, just in another way – and just as King wanted it.  To give Perez the benefit of the doubt, MLK was a “childhood hero” – time to put away childish things however, and it is childish and naive to think that MLK is a hero or a supporter of liberty.

Self-defense – Stupid people
Great-Grandmother Fires at Thug 11 Times After Brazen Mid-Morning Robbery in Detroit
(The Blaze.com)

Mama’s Note: How in the devil did she get a “permit” in Detroit? And she obviously needs some serious training and range time. Eleven shots and she has no idea where they went? YIKES.. Thank goodness nobody innocent was hurt – though if her characterization of her fellow passengers is accurate… maybe they should be.

Nathan: As the story says, this is no advertisement to visit Detroit.  The good guys are as dangerous as the villains!  Of course, the kid that tried to rob her was incredibly stupid to try, just looking at her.  And her actions are also – very stupid indeed.

Pop Quiz for Anti-gunners

Posted on 2013-01-28 by MamaLiberty

Absolutely sterling… print off these “questions” and offer them to anyone who wants any sort of infringement on our self defense rights. Could start a real discussion, once in a while anyway. I intend to post this all over the place. Oh, and how many of those questions can WE answer accurately? I had to look up two of them.

Media and Politicians Firing Blanks
by Brian Wilson
(LRC)

Have you ever fired a gun? (NB: water, cap, BB, paintball and fingers
are not acceptable)

How many guns have you seen become violent? If your answer acknowledges an individual is necessary to operate the weapon, why, then, are you using the term “gun violence” and not “human violence”?

In 25 words or less: What is an “Assault Weapon”? Be specific

(Extra Credit: From Columbine to Newtown, how many involved “Assault Weapons”?)

What is the difference between a “magazine” and a “clip”? Use both in a sentence.

Is a .223 cartridge more or less powerful than the predominant rifle cartridge used by American fighting men in WWII?

(Extra Credit: What was the caliber of the predominant rifle cartridge used in WWII?)

If you had to choose, would you prefer to shot with a .22? .223? 30-06? 00Buck?

(“None of the Above” is an understandable but unacceptable answer)

Why is a black gun more dangerous than one made with differently colored components?

If black guns are bad, isn’t that racist?

How does a bayonet lug make the “assault rifle” more lethal?

(Extra credit: How many drive-by bayonetings occurred in the US last year?)

To the nearest 100,000, how many Assault Rifles are made of Nerf?

Within 10,000, how many times a day do law-abiding gun owners prevent a crime without firing a shot?

Approximately how many gun laws (State and Federal) are in force in America today?

With so many laws already in force, what are the compelling reasons to believe criminals and mass murders will obey the new ones?

If faced with a home invasion, would you want to be holding your phone or your firearm?

Asteroid-Mining Project Aims for Deep-Space Colonies
(by Mike Wall, SPACE.com Senior Writer)  A new asteroid-mining company launched Tuesday with the goal of helping humanity expand across the solar system by tapping the vast riches of space rocks.

MamaLiberty wrote: The sooner, the better.

Nathan: Incredible, eh?  That an actually company would be formed – and ALLOWED to form – that intends to spread this evil disease called humanity across the planets and vast depthiness of space!!!  Senator Feind-swine, you have got to stop wasting your time on banning guns and concentrate on making it illegal for humans to go out and despoil the universe.  What do ya wanna bet that they are going to go out there and mine METAL and use it to make guns!?

Seriously: And the more the merrier!  How many companies, how many people, can we get in space and away from the nastiness here?

Mama’s Note: I WANT TO GO!

Nathan: Again, duh! (Sadly, too many people who call themselves “libertarian” do not understand this.  It is a difficult and sad issue that divides us, but there is a huge difference between accepting that some people are so amoral or immoral as to kill their own child and actually encouraging, promoting, and paying for them to do so.)

Technology and stupid people – Liberty
New Service Allows People to Text Strangers Using License Plate Number
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: Interesting technology, big implications for privacy, good possibility of people getting into arguments on the highway or street, violence, and home invasion.  Sounds like something the fedgov wants to push.

Mama’s Note: I can see some interesting “unintended consequences” here. What if you are driving someone else’s car? They may not be amused to get the messages. Such technology would probably be no problem, as long as one could block it. Personally, I don’t know how most people have time for all that stuff. I can’t keep up with my email as it is.

Stupid government
EPA continues to damage economy AND environment
(Daily Policy Digest) The EPA refuses to rescind the ethanol mandate and has set production to increase from 13 billion gallons this year to 36 billion gallons by 2022.

By 2022, the nation’s entire corn crop would be devoted to ethanol production. Advances in cellulosic ethanol, which is made from wood chips, switchgrass and other sources, could reduce demand for corn.

Nathan: I have NO objection to making ethanol out of corn or whatever else, PROVIDED (a)  That is not MANDATED by stupid government agencies, and (b) That is not SUBSIDIZED by stupid people in Congress or legislatures.  Until those things end, like wind-farming for power and solar-power systems and much else, the economic damage triggers environmental damage, and we lose out.

Congress in action – Culture wars: women in combat
McCain: ‘Women Are Already Serving in Harm’s Way’
(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: Yeah, it’s a tough world.  So why make it tougher.  Look, people, it is about MORE than just whether some women can be as tough, as strong, as fast, or as mean as men: it is how we are hardwired (except for maybe those ‘alternative lifestyle types’ out there) to treat women and respond to a threat made to women.  We saw it in the SovUnion during the Great Patriotic War, we’ve seen it in the various Israeli wars, we saw it in the Indian Wars here in the US.  This is more than social engineering – it is social demolition engineering.

The “messiah” – Stupid ideas
Obama Wants 100,000 American Students to Study in Communist China

Nathan: Hmm, might speed up the assimilation process?  Oh, I know, the one-child policy is hurting China and they need immigrants.

Mama’s Note: I don’t know what is going on with this, but the bottom line for so much of what Mr. Obama “wants” is that it is none of his damned business to start with. It doesn’t matter WHAT he “wants.”

Mama’s Note: This is an excellent article regarding Hillary and her bombshell remark during the hearing. The Obama Simulacrum from the National Review.
A couple of days later, it fell to the 45th president-in-waiting to encapsulate the ethos of the age in one deft sound bite: What difference does it make? Hillary Clinton’s instantly famous riposte at the Benghazi hearings is such a perfect distillation that it surely deserves to be the national motto of the United States. They should put it on Paul Krugman’s trillion-dollar coin, and in the presidential oath:

Mama’s Note: Oh, you might be surprised!

Hoplophiles
Poll: 96% want no change to “constitutional right to bear arms”
(Fox News)

Nathan: This is an “unscientific poll” for readers (and presumably viewers) of Fox, but shows a very strong amount of support.

Mama’s Note: We know polls are not much use, but the questions here are fairly neutral and the result is encouraging.

Nathan: Yes, they are. But I suspect we will see 2 or 3 “polls” contradicting this within a few days.  At least this poll does not give the false idea that “gun rights” are something GRANTED by the Constitution.

Culture wars: killing babies – Stupid people
Catholic hospital says ‘a fetus is not a person’
(Digital Journal) Denver – A Catholic hospital embroiled in a lawsuit involving the death of twin fetuses is arguing that they should not be held responsible for the death of the unborn children because “a fetus is not a person”

Mama’s Note: They can’t have it both ways…

Nathan: Hmmm.   Sure they can – these are their LAWYERS speaking: two faces, two mouths.   Stupidity due to duplicity and hypocrisy or due to hiring the wrong kind of lawyer (can a lawyer REALLY be moral? that is, and not make his living driving a taxi?), or just due to stupidity?  I suppose that there COULD be a chance that they are doing this to point out the hypocrisy of the law and the legislature(s) and governor(s)/president who did these laws?  Naah, that would be silly to think that.

Home Front – Stupid politicians
How a Northern GOP Governor Could Revive His State and Party
(Conservative Action Alerts) Like many Republican governors, Pennsylvania’s Tom Corbett is in a precarious situation in 2013. President Obama’s reelection gives nearly all GOP governors daunting odds for winning second terms in 2014. If they can’t break with the libertarian-economic groupthink and big-bank interests that have led the Party of Lincoln to near ruin, they will be voted out of office.

Nathan: Setting aside the fact that the “Party of Lincoln” NEEDS to be ruined, the funny idea that ANYthing the Republican Party has proposed comes close to libertarian thinking on economics is a clear indication THIS writer has drunk the Kool-Aid.

Libertarian Commentary on the News #13-04C: National Panic Spreads on Guns

Posted on 2013-01-27 by TPOL Nathan

Self-defense – Government-run, tax-funded schools
Guns already allowed in schools in many states
(NBC News) More than a third of the states already allow teachers and other adults to carry guns to school. In most cases, all you need is the equivalent of a note from the principal — you usually don’t even need law enforcement approval. NBC News reviewed the firearms and education laws in all 50 states and found that 18 of them allow adults to have a loaded gun on school grounds, usually as long as they have written permission.

Nathan: If true (and NBC is one of those outlets which has lied a lot in the past), this still shows a need for education and panic-control.  We have SO many laws on the books, it is not a surprise that even people like Gov. Rick Perry don’t know what their own state law says – and you can bet that most of the principals in Texas schools don’t realize THEY are the signature authority to arm their teachers or staff.  But that still leaves 32 states, plus DC and other territories, where it IS illegal by federal law and/or local laws.  And of course there is the bias that school administrators have: hoploclastic and hoplophobic as they are (see my column summarizing just how fearful and paranoid they are over bubble guns and Nerf guns), how many WOULD?

Mama’s Note: And STILL, the only real answer is to eliminate government “schools” and return the responsibility for education – and safety – to parents and their voluntary communities.

Hoplophobes – Hoplophiles
Gun Appreciation Day leads to five gun show shootings
(Digital Journal) A portion of the American population celebrated Gun Appreciation Day by attending guns shows across the country, resulting in some of the attendees perhaps appreciating paramedics and first responders more than guns, at least temporarily.

Thanks to MamaLiberty, her comment: Fraudulent headline

Nathan: Very much so.  There is nothing to indicate (1) these rather stupid people would  NOT have attended the respective gun shows and (2) that these accidents would not have happened anyway, if Saturday had not been “Gun Appreciation Day.”  As Mama Liberty and myself and others had pointed out when plans for this “nationwide event” were announced, the primary result would be an opportunity for gunowners to be attacked and reviled.  This is certainly the case: it is almost certain that NONE of these five shootings (fortunately no deaths) would have been reported in the news, locally much less nationally otherwise.  The April 19th “National Shoot-Out” where everyone is encouraged to go outside at a certain time in the evening and fire three shots into the ground (or three firecrackers, or a recording of three shots) is an even more foolish event, which will scare too many already-fearful people – thus enhancing the hand of too many politicians.

Mama’s Note: Indeed… and far too many people are incredibly stupid enough to fire a gun into the air. What goes up, must come down. With friends like these…

Home front – Tyranny
Economic Freedom Declines in America for Fifth Straight Year
(Wall Street Journal and Heritage Foundation via Daily Policy Digest) Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada, Mauritius, Denmark and the United States all lost ground in this year’s index of economic freedom…

Nathan: Are we shocked?  Surprised?  Confused?  No, we LIVED through it: the EPA, the DHS, the USDA, the USDI, the FDA, the White House; all the usual culprits whittled away for another year at our freedoms, our liberties, our prosperity.  They WON and we LOST.

Abominable Act (ObummerCare) – Crash of 2009
U.S. Health Care Spending Growth Continues at Slow Pace
(American Enterprise Institute via Daily Policy Digest)  The year 2010 marked the lowest rate of annualized personal expenditures on health care since the National Health Expenditure Accounts statistics were first calculated in 1960…

Nathan: This does not, apparently, include insurance costs.  Of course, since we are still in a depression, no doubt part of this is that we DON’T have the money, and we know every dime the insurance has to pay out will show up in the premiums next year.  And we figure we’ll need every cent we can get.

Mama’s Note: It also doesn’t include all of the “free” or subsidized medicine and services involved. And none of the dollar amounts have much to do with the actual “health” or “care” obtained by anyone. The people so eager for more government control of medicine and the economy are about to learn the hard lesson that no amount of subsidy or “insurance” can guarantee actual care, let alone competent and appropriate care.

More lack of self-defense
New Mexico Teen Kills Five in Home
(9News.com) A 15-year-old boy fatally shot two adults and three children at a home near Albuquerque, authorities said Sunday. The teenager was arrested on murder and other charges in connection with the shootings Saturday night at the home in a rural area 10 miles southwest of downtown Albuquerque, Bernalillo County sheriff’s spokesman Aaron Williamson said. …Each victim suffered more than one gunshot wound, he said. …Investigators also were trying to determine who owned several guns that were found at the home, one of which was a semi-automatic military-style rifle. Authorities declined to release details of any conversation that the 15-year-old had with investigators. The teenager was booked on two counts of murder and three counts of child abuse resulting in death.

Nathan: The media has a lot it is trying to push, obviously.  So does the Sheriff.  If the weapon used was NOT the “military-style rifle” then why mention it?  Do the media or the sheriff’s officer think the rifle controlled the mind of the killer?  And why not murder charges for the three children, just “child abuse resulting in death” charges?  Does New Mexico (or the Bernalillo Sheriff) not consider children to be human any more?

Mama’s Note: The ongoing obsession of politicians and LE with the kind, size, owner and source of the weapon, rather than the resolution of the crime, is an ongoing crime itself.

Hoploclasts – Hoplophobes
Colorado: Telluride looks into tigher gun controls
(9News.com) Telluride town officials are looking into whether they can tighten gun-control ordinances without running afoul of state and federal laws. …The council had passed a resolution endorsing tougher federal regulations and Mayor Stu Fraser was among mayors nationwide who signed a letter urging President Barack Obama to pass stricter regulations. … Carnevale says he wants the town to go further.

Thanks to Deb for this one.  Her thoughts:  local nutcases don’t like freedom.

Nathan: we always knew that Telluride was “that” kind of a town.  They want the freedom for their sex, their pot and other drugs, their “alternative lifestyles” but they want the peons to be under their control.  They use armed police, armed guards, surveillance, and more, but only the elite can have these things.  The rest of us must be kept under control.
