What's a state to do?

Living in California it is really hard for me to point out the splinters in the rest of the nation's eyes when we have some freakishly large redwood logs in ours. So goes our election for governor this year.

Leading on the left we have a liberal retread from the 70's, Moon Pie Jerry Brown. A 70 year old brain dead hippie who gets to circumvent the two term rule because his two term reign ended before term limits here took place. His plan... destroy the free market here faster than "O".  He has personally cost me thousands of dollars over marxist carbon credit offset crap he alone has invented. Also as attorney general he is the poster child for the aclu. Criminals and perverts love this state.


On the right... Oh what a tangle web we.... you get the point. Poizner and Whitman. Poizner is just a thinner Arnold without the accent. And Whitman is the terminator wannabe with a lower voice. Side note... Poizner gave Al Gore $10k for his election in 2000 and was in favor making it easier for the state to raise property taxes. Whitman is seen on tape praising the work of our communist green czar Jones. Said she looked forward to working with him. She did not create ebay as she brags. They simply hired her for the tax break and pr. Meeting payroll means more when it's your money. She's always been put in charge of strong companies... and watched closely by the boards.


Together these three will be spending $10's of millions over the next few months confusing and confounding the masses. This is California... they could confuse this state for a lot less.

If you look at my side bar you'll see an ad I placed for Larry Naretelli for Governor.  I REFUSE to throw my vote away for the sake of party. Thankfully I will not have to. In pasts posts I talked about We the People and how important it is to have a citizen government. Larry is not part of the establishment. Like us, he's part of the foundation.

Check Larry out at naritelli2010.com Read his platform. Common Sense for a confused capitol. The basics... it's as simple as that. But as with parting the Red Sea... it's bigger than us. Recently ICausus endorsed Larry for Governor. ICaucus has taken the lead in national grass root politics to search out those candidates who walk the talk... and know what they hell they're talking about.

The primary is just a few months away. It's all or nothing for me. Time to cowboy up. Remeber, we'll be the first one the nation has to bail out if we screw this up... then again, it may be too late. I'd like to save you from that. So would Larry.

Health Care - Pull for YES vote!...

The Wicked Witch of the West...

She shrieked,"After conspiring centuries it is finally within my grasp. But... you will have to pass this bill... to know what's in this bill." Then as she reached for her scepter, she mistakenly puts her hand into a bowl of water that somehow appeared from nowhere (water was strictly forbidden on the house floor since the reign of the old one began).

As the Wicked Witch of the West's fingers began to shrivel... she looked at the bowl which was inscribed, WELCOME TO MINNESOTA, she cried... "I'll get you Michelle Bachmann... I'll get you..."

New Icons for Repubs and Dems...

Kinda getting tired of the old elephant and jackass thing.  With the beginning transformation of the new Republican party I thought it might be time to revamp their symbols. Franklin loved the Rattle Snake for it's strength. If the Republican Party can embrace the Constitution and return to it's roots, I think the snake is fitting. The Dems on the other hand... no explanation necessary.

What evil knows...

Inalienable...

Saddened and Outraged...

Most have heard about the Chelsea King murder in Southern California. It happened very close to where I live.  Today they found her body. And my heart aches for the King family. As the father of a high school boy, I can not imagine the anguish.

But I am also filled with rage... not only at the maggot that did this but the system that allowed it to happen. We were warned that this boil was a danger and should never go free. Yet he was released after serving only half of his sentence.  They now say he tried this last December at the same park and very well could be the involved in a number of missing teen girl cases in the San Diego area.

Bureaucracy cares more for granting rights to sub humans than protecting it's citizens.

No more.

An eye for an eye. And that includes the judges. politicians and boards that allow this. This is on their hands. Every stinkin one of them.

Gun control and the NRA...

NRA fights for gun control!

My preceding post described the battle at hand with the Supreme Court. One of the links I recommended concerns how the NRA has pushed it's way into the mix. It is interesting that in the last 2A case... Heller, that the NRA argued that the court should NOT be too quick in returning freedom to the citizenry. Yes the NRA fought for keeping much of the gun control that it has helped progressives enact over the last 80 years or so.

Why?

The NRA needs gun laws to stay in business. It needs membership dues to pay for it's mega million dollar headquarters and lush payroll. IT IS A BUSINESS that needs an oppressed citizenry to remain in power. Very much the same way that progressives need the oppressed to be able to thump their chests and claim they are here for them.

The saying is we can know who they are by their actions. What they argue tomorrow will not go unnoticed. Please, instead of boasting "I'm the NRA", it's time to proclaim, "I'm an American!"
Who is looking out for who? More to come...

Our Founders on Trial!

Our Founders on Trial - McDonald vs Chicago
The Supreme Court tomorrow will hear arguments in what possibly will be the most important case regarding our Bill of Right for our present and future generations.  While some may call it a second amendment case on the right of an individual to keep and bear arms, it will also decide whether or not states and localities may put restrictions on the fundamental rights granted by the Constitution. In other words, they will decide, can states circumvent and thus make irrelevant the Bill of Rights. Can rights be chosen or disregarded based upon the whims of current politicians?
Please pray for those jurists that honor our founders and believe in the sanctity of our laws. For interesting read regarding these topics please visit more at Reason.

According to Vermont

It is lawful to carry a firearm openly or concealed provided the firearm is not carried with the intent or avowed purpose of injuring a fellow man. No permit is needed. 


A right not exercised soon needs permission. Carry on!

My radio personality can beat up your radio personality... he says so!

You know what's amazing... after 10 years of talk radio, I'm starting to listen to music again.

Levin,"blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Beck!"

Savage, "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Rush!"

Rush, "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah O'Reily!"

Dudes... who are we fighting... each other? Get a grip and a spine.


Really, the only hosts I have not heard are Beck and Hannity trying to rip a new one... in the same side. Why?

WHY?

Because maybe... ego?

This is war. Keep your eyes on the enemy.

I do not agree 100% with any one, even if they claim they are fighting for the cause. They are mere men and women. Human. Trust...         but verify. But the battle at hand is not with each other. If you think it is... what's that saying?... Join or Die!

And      this      battle      is      worth     DIEING FOR!

Read, Listen and Pray! The fight starts with... YOU!

This guy is an idiot!

You know when you go to Drudge in the morning and in the first few headlines Harry Reid's name shows up... The conservative movement grows a little more stronger. Nevada, Nevada, Nevada. Well I guess I can't talk. My state gave you all Pelosi. (PS, that was from the central part of the state).

Ole Harry yesterday... on the senate floor stated that "when men are out of work (no doubt because of the republicans...) they tend to be abusive".

Is this guy an idiot or what?

Wait...

This guy is an idiot!

First thing Harry. Men are not abusive. Regardless of employment, debt, football commercials or any other crap you can come up with. These are not men. They're scum. Even with a job, those of the male chromosome that are abusive, lack the 'balls' to be real men. Scum like taking advantage of those they consider beneath them who don't or can't fight back. Kinda like the current leadership on the Hill.  When they don't get their way they do it anyways and tell us, "It's for your own good".  The thing is... we're learning to fight back and we realize our country is better than this and them. No more abuse.

My concern now...

by Reids' own dribble... I guess many in politics will be abusive starting this November. Personally I would put them all on a watch list and warn their families now.

Mike Huckabee rips CPAC. Who is Huckabee?

 Gov Huckabee skips CPAC 2010 citing "It's not the event it once was."
“CPAC has becoming increasingly more libertarian and less Republican over the last years, one of the reasons I didn’t go this year.”

JUST ANOTHER BITTER OLD GOAT!

Conservative/Libertarians are the only ones who can save this country. Not some retread socialist republican. Our founders stood for Libertarian principals and the constitution. Not the neocon rhetoric stench coming from guys like this (and Romney). Bigger and bigger government they strive for (and have accomplished). Yes todays CPAC is not like the good old days.. that's what got us where we are today. This year there were actually people with their eyes WIDE open and not accepting the same old elephant crap from the establishment!

Sing with me...

"Turn out the lights, the (old Republican) Party's over...

And the new party has just begun!"

Dont Tread on Me!... wait, it's too late. Prepare to be bitten!

CPAC follow up...

CPAC chose Ron Paul... the problem I see with this is... Mitt Romney was second. Can this no better describe the divide in Republican Party. Black and white. Truth is, CPAC is a conservative convention... with republicans attending. Romney, like McCain and Huckabee... they are not conservative. Look at Mitt's state. I live in California and I sure would not consider Massachusetts as an upgrade. BIG GOVERNMENT and ENTITLEMENTS!

If Washington, Jefferson or Adams were running for office today, they would be total outcasts. Wackos. Nutty constitutionalists... LIBERTARIANS?... As insane as that... Ron Paul guy.  EXACTLY!

Welcome to the Revolution!

Ron Paul Wins CPAC Presidential Straw Poll

Crazy... Yes!
But he is a PATRIOT!

The Revolution has begun!!!

Bill of Rights... unless it's raining!

I missed his show, but Bill O'Reily stated that the feral government (I know it's misspelled but I decided to leave it)  has every right to suspend our constitution and the Bill of Rights in case of an emergency.
?
Isn't this the most important time to preserve these rights?

Let's see... a natural disaster happens... no law enforcement available... we are on our own. But keep your mouth shut and turn in any guns you may have...
...
...
Since my son reads this  I will keep it to pg13

HELL NO and JUST TRY!

O'Reily, you Neo Con Ass. You stated on your show that I did see (which will probably be the last for a while) that the feds have every right to do whatever they want to in an emergency. Sorry bub... they don't. They serve us.
They serve us!
He stated the Supreme court can step in to protect us if when the president oversteps his authority. Please. It takes 5 years and 100 lawsuits and a thousand attorneys to even raise an eyebrow. And the Supreme Court is not the final word. Three CO-EQUAL branches.  Spend a little more time reading books than writing them.

He dissed the Oath Keepers. He dissed us as free Americans. And he is an idiot.

It's not the Bill of Suggestions...
it's the Bill of RIGHTS!

and to defend it... 
"we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

BETTER THAN A THOUSAND

A large group of Taliban soldiers are  moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand-dune say, "One Marine is better than ten Taliban."

The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune whereupon a  gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then  silence.

The voice then  calls out, "One Marine is better than a hundred Taliban soldiers."

Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a  huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again  silence.

The Marine voice calls  out, "One Marine is better than a thousand Taliban."

The enraged Taliban commander musters a thousand fighters and sends them over the dune.  Cannon fire, rocket blasts, and machine gun fire rings out as a huge battle rages.

Then silence.

Finally one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander,  "Don't  send any more men, it's a trap. There are two of them."

Feds Warn: Snow Costs Taxpayers $100 Million A Day...

As I see it we will save $1.3 Trillion if Washington closes for the rest of the year. Finally, 'Change' I can believe in. Now lets see if we can shut Sacramento down...

The Dogs of War

A friend at work loaned me a copy of  "The Hurt Locker" about an IED squad in Iraq. Powerful movie. Reinforced my belief on the failure of the US trying to be everything to everyone. We need more drones... for another article later. Anyways I came across this awesome site  "Woman Honor Thyself" with a great story. Read it here.  The Dogs of War

Enough Said

Marbury v Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176; 2 LE
60 (1803) reveals that "All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."

Miranda v Arizona, 384 US 436, 491; 86 S Ct 1602; 16 L Ed
2d 694 (1966) reveals that "Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no legislation which would abrogate them."

Norton v Shelby County, Tennessee, 118 US 425, 442; 6 S Ct 1121; 30 L Ed 178 (1886) reveals that "An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; creates no office. It is as inoperative as though it had never been passed."

West Virginia State Board of Education v Barnette, 319 US 624, 638; 63 S Ct 1178; 87 L Ed 1628 (1943) "The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no election."

City of Oak Ridge v Diana Ruth Brown (Tenn. Ct. App., Case No. E2004-01574-COA-R3-CV, 2005 WL 1996620, 19 August 2005 lv app den 2006) reveals that a law is unconstitutional which forbids what the U.S. Constitution allows
 
Last I checked the law of the land is the Constitution and it tells us we have the right to bear arms. If it infringes upon our Constitutional rights, IT IS NOT A LAW and we have no obligation to it.

Israeli Open Carry

Israelis (and the Swiss) are not afraid of guns. They are an armed people, ready, willing, and able to defend themselves and their country. 


There, when a Muslim goes, well, Muslim,  he is typically shot to death by someone within seconds of screaming "Allah Akbar" rather than being surrounded by lawyers and politicians demanding  his Miranda rights.

Unlike indoctrinated Americans, paralyzed by fear and political correctness, Israelis understand that people, not guns, kill people. And there are bad people out there wanting to do harm,

They also do not have a second amendment because it is so out of the question to them not to be able to defend ones self.  The phrase "inalienable rights" are God given not man granted.

Can it happen?

Washington DC, USA (AP) - USA on Thursday executed two men accused of involvement in an anti-government group, as the public prosecutor announced that new death sentences have been issued against opposition activists involved in protests over November's disputed presidential election.
The two men, who were hanged before dawn Tuesday.
State run media MSNBC depicted the two as part of the protest movement, a sign of how the government has lumped together many of its enemies with the political opposition amid its postelection crackdown. The media's depiction of the executions may aim to intimidate the opposition ahead of new street demonstrations expected in August.
In a further move likely aimed at cowing protesters, USA's prosecutor announced that five people have been sentenced to death for involvement in the most recent major demonstrations, on September 11 for protesting the change from Patriots Day to the state mandated Day of Service. That day saw the worst violence of postelection crackdown, with at least eight people killed in clashes between the new UN police force brought in by the president and protesters with thousands arrested and relocated to an undisclosed location.
***************
I have changed this story from an execution that did happen in Iran this week. God bless the patriot regardless of nationality.

YOU LIE!

Mr. President... You Lie!... You're also an ASS!

Last nights donkey show by the tel"O"prompter guy was a real work. He definitely played it up to his barnyard animal friends for sure. But one thing that seems to be getting the most notice is his chastising of the Supreme Court DURING his state of the union speech. Now lets see... it's inappropriate for a congressman to call out the president for lying through his teeth, but ok for the self appointed king to mock a CO-EQUAL... CO-EQUAL branch of the government because it throws a monkey wrench in the progressives road to domination.. I still don't believe he was ever qualified to teach constitutional law. As my last post quoted... he failed lunch.

God protect the sane members of our Supreme Court.  I hope none commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back.

Hitler Finds Out Scott Brown Won Massachusetts Senate Seat

Interested?

Patriots. I salute you all. We who believe in Constitutional freedoms and the fundamentals of our founders, are at a point in history that will either have our children and grandchildren saying thank you for preserving our republic, or.... asking us why we didn't do more. I KNOW I WILL WANT  TO TELL THEM I DID EVERYTHING I COULD. But what will that be?

As with Common Sense by Thomas Paine, we all have the ability to make an impact in the world around us. For some it is by the printed word.  For others it is by design and visual. Making a statement is our goal. Changing the hearts of the misguided is what we hope to do. But how? How can we have an impact in this fight for freedom?

If you go back and review this blog, you will know my heart. Our founders, by the hand of God, gave us the greatest country the world has ever seen... period. As citizens, it is up to us to preserve. We write on our blogs, we talk to those that will listen. But in the end, where does it lead? What impact does it make in the world?

DontTreadWear.com

As a graphic artist over the last 10 years I have seen what design can do. Images, even simple graphics can have a huge impact. Look at what a simple word like "Change" did for that Barry guy. But also look at what "Dont Tread on Me" has done in return. The powers of be have rendered it as domestic terror.  Do you think they are afraid? Just a  patriotic flag of our history. Why are they worried? Because they know the meaning and the impact words can have on their progressive movement.

DontTreadWear.com

I believe that we can have an impact. I believe that we can make a difference. This is the year that we can change the world. Not for something new. But back to our foundation.

 My goal is to promote our founders. Promote our history. Promote  our future.

THANK YOU!!!

Palin "Sly as a FOX"

A left of center friend of mine (Truth101) recently ran a post titled "Sarah Palin - Stupid as a FOX". Naturally a title like that will stir the natives... and I think it's now approaching 100 replies. Dang, I'm lucky to get 5. Not to worry. I was able to fend them all off. :)

His title though is inaccurate as to the true saying. It is "Sly as a Fox". Hunters picked this foe because of the challenge and the likelihood of their(the hunter's) defeat.  Farmers built their hen houses to repel this enemy whose craftiness exceeded many a builder.  And  now the conservatives have not just Sarah... but other "We the People" Americans ready to reclaim the country of our founders. And the progressive sit back and howl... "they're all just stupid tea baggers."... and apparently we're just stupid pickup truck owners as "O" the fearless one yelped about this weekend in ole Mass.

If you get a chance, go to the post and read the replies against her. Illiterate, evil, stupid and brainless seem to be the rally cry. Even "so called conservatives" are quick to point out why this mother of five doesn't represent the elite who they believe should rule and lead. Talking points from this group come strait from SNL and since it is from NBC it must be fact. Words from Tina Fey became facts. Yet when you disprove the allegations, they always have their fall back chant "SHE QUIT AS GOVERNOR!" Facts matter not but let's compare the whole thing of job responsibilities and ignoring your elected job...

When Sara Palin came on the scene it was just over 2 months from the election. Yes left, just 68 or so days she was away from her state. The lieutenant governor took over the day to day concerns. Now look at the chosen one. He started his run for POTUS about 2 years before that. Wait a minute. He was elected to serve in the Senate... not to run full time for another office.  "But...but... but... he's the chosen one so it's not the same."  Really? He collected his check for an entire 2 years while spending about 5% of his time being Senator. Yes, McCain did the same thing. My feeling is if you are going to run for office for more than 6 months you need to step down. BOTH PARTIES. But that's on my wish list.

They still say she quit her office she was elected to. Yes.  But she put the state before her needs and knew the position she was in after the election would hurt Alaska more if she stayed. The establishment had her in their sites.  She had accomplished her energy plans of the gas line and knew her lieutenant governor to be an honorable replacement. She knew away from Alaska, she could make a greater impact in our quest for the return of citizen rule. So instead of retreating, lets just say she stepped back to reload. She put country and Alaska first.

Whether she runs or not in 2012, she is a sly fox that one. She continues to be a thorn in the progressive side. And she will continue to serve the country she loves until she decides to step aside. Not by the handlers of the current ruling class. Get use to her.

My hope... Palin/Bachmann 2012

Makes me smile!

The Greatest Living President...

I will be the first to admit "I DO NOT KNOW IT ALL!"

Yet

I'm learning... and reading.... and listening to all.

I recently heard a name I had never paid attention to, though I am sure he has been in the news many of times. The man above is Czech President Vaclav Klaus.  And except for not being an American... he has the heart of our founders in every sense (even in his love for a good ale it seems!)
While the last 100 years or so we have been running away from our founder's vision of freedom and inalienable rights, this man has been pushing his country towards them. Google him... read, learn, study and pass it on. BTW he thinks Al Gore is an idiot. He already is my hero!

"Privatization of the state-owned economy is not yet on the agenda. We cannot do it immediately; my colleagues would not agree to it. But we must put all forms of ownership on an equal footing immediately and let different types of ownership compete with the state firms."

True Love

What can I do...

What can I do?

With the start of the new year and my first post of the new decade, I wanted to plant a seed. Sometimes we look at the country around us and ask what difference can I make. As "We the People" great changes are going to come about at the end of this year. That is, unless a 'crisis' materializes and our liberties are stolen. But closer to home, what difference can "I the Citizen"   make? What can I have a role in?

Simple answer...  you can have a HUGE role.

There is a term that most have never heard of. There is a term that lawyers and judges alike despise. There is a term that some will say you have no right to. But... there is a term that YOU and I have a constitutional right to.

Jury Nullification

We are a country based upon laws. We are a nation built upon rights. But what happens when laws are written that diminish these guaranteed, inalienable rights?  Who is the final protector of our freedoms? Politicians?... Judges?... the Supreme Court?

No. The protector of our freedom is still where or founders placed them... with We the People.
The 'Jury' is that protector. And you and I are the jury. You and I have not only the ability to protect our liberties, but also the duty. PLEASE CHECK http://www.fija.org. The Fully Informed Jury Association. "The authority of the jury is the right that protects all other rights."

Read... Research... Study... 
and then...
