Securing Liberty

Wayne — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:45:48 -0400

As I contemplate the means to securing freedom once more, searching for the strategic lynch pins necessary for success, I keep returning to the same key components. Few revolutions were concerned with freedom. Most seem to have been about revenge (e.g., class warfare), regime change, and pretenses for even greater tyranny. Two obvious examples of the former come to mind, but only one succeeded. I've written before about the ingredients necessary for success in the American Revolution. What now might we have and what is still missing?

Militias are all well and good—I don't mean just the paramilitary kind but the properly defined kind (every able bodied man...)—but against the fedgov's military, there would be no chance of success except in martyrdom. Martyrdom is great for raising sympathizers but lousy at actually winning. One key ingredient, perhaps one of the most important, necessary for success at securing freedom, is captured in the spirit of Oath Keepers. Patriots would require thoughtful, conscientious, intelligent officers of significant rank to part ways from their evil masters and lead their men in the cause of freedom against domestic tyranny. Only by mass support of their oaths of duty to the Constitutional Republic and not to a despotic, corrupt, and illegitimate fedgov, can any forceful reclamation of liberty have any chance of success.

We have the necessary manufacturing base for materiel support, but protecting it would require not only regular army (that is, formal military) resources but high-end sympathy among those who would launch such domestic attacks. I predict such lines would be drawn between federal police and oath-keeping military (FBI vs. Army, for example). Waco and similar events show us what the federal police mentality is, and their oaths appear to mean little. The fedgov certainly would annex private materiel manufacturers given any provocation, and patriots would need the might to defend against such usurpation.

While American churches have sold their souls to evil, there is still a remnant of believers (some hiding in churches and others just hiding) who can define freedom properly and know what it takes to earn it. I expect the holiness of the cause of liberty to bubble out rather quickly, given the right impetus. Whether or not it would be enough to provide the necessary momentum to the cause and yet still restrain it to moral revolution, remains to be seen.

One of the names of the devil is the Deceiver. He has worked overtime in our present system of government, all four branches, hiding and twisting the truth. We are presented with two parties even though their values are almost entirely common. We are told the courts decide legal righteousness, yet they have become self-appointed lawmakers. The Executive is the largest employer and tyrant on earth (by an order of magnitude), despite its intended role as servant. The fourth branch, never granted as such by the Constitution, is the media. They have become little more than a false prophet to the antichrist that is the fedgov, the <female dog> lap dog that pants at every table scrap offered, attacking patriotic enemies of its master. The general population is still too blinded by the Deceiver into believing these institutions serve the people or are in any way legitimate. These lies must fall away en masse for a popular support of revolution.

Impotent NATO aside, foreign support of an American revolution should be easy to find, since the fedgov has made enemies with everybody, including most of our allies. A cause toward liberty, including a replacement of the almighty fedgov with a weak central government (as was Constitutionally prescribed), should garner cheers from all corners of the globe. I expect patriots will require this support, to secure geopolitical legitimacy, but be careful with whom they ally. Islamic nations, for example, may be among the first to join such a cause, but their ulterior motives are evil and would replace our present tyranny with their own.

One of the toughest hurdles is the value placed upon individual freedom. The American people have been bribed to surrender this value. To pay the price for liberty, we must be willing to lose everything else (except our souls). The deeper we go into the Great Depression 2.0, and the more the fedgov takes away what little we have, the easier it will be for people to see that they have little to lose should they choose to fight for their freedom.

At the root of all these components of a successful revolution toward individual liberty lies wisdom, something in very short supply today. However, it's not dead and gone yet. Given the right conditions and the right leaders, I can foresee a groundswell of support for the wise course of action. The American Experiment may be dead, but death is not the end. Just as the first Resurrection assured us of eternal life, should we accept it, so we can also choose resurrection (over death) of freedom and see these United States restored to their initial glory (and to His).

I pray for the peaceful return of the Republic, but human nature—that is, the evil so thoroughly in control of our governments—will not permit it. To secure peace, we must sometimes endure war. To secure liberty, we must employ defensive force or the imminent, credible threat thereof. It is this lack of credibility of the patriots among the usurpers that will lead us to war.

Demon Pass

paulfranklin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:25:53 -0400

A reader's post to an article by Peggy Noonan's in the WSJ on Deem and Pass published yesterday (3/18/2010) appropriately brings in the relevance of The Declaration of Independence:

"There is guidance for our situation:

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But 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. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

Never before, have we needed the guidance of our Declaration of Independence. Give thanks for the prescience of our Founding Fathers for this day.

The Vote is our bullet, The People's election booth is our weapon to execute our Duty as Citizens in 2010/2012."

"Affordable" Health Care

paulfranklin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:20:35 -0400

The health care legislation reconciliation bill (full text: http://www.opencongress.org/house_reconciliat... allocates $1,000,000,000.00 for Federal administrative expenses for the creation of a Health Insurance Reform Implementation Fund. I know my kids will certainly enjoy paying for this along with the remaining almost $1 trillion in cost for this Obamanation of legislation.

SEC. 1005. IMPLEMENTATION FUNDING.

(a) IN GENERAL.--There is hereby established a

Health Insurance Reform Implementation Fund (referred

to in this section as the “Fund”) within the Department

of Health and Human Services to carry out the Patient

amendments made by such Acts).

(b) FUNDING.--There is appropriated to the Fund,

out of any funds in the Treasury not otherwise appro-

priated, $1,000,000,000 for Federal administrative ex-

Wyoming balls; Georgia eunuch

Wayne — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:56:00 -0400

Wyoming shows it's got a pair of brass ones.

According to a law signed into effect yesterday by Democratic Gov. Dave Freudenthal, any agent of the U.S. who "enforces or attempts to enforce" federal gun rules on a "personal firearm" in Wyoming faces a felony conviction and a penalty of up to two years in prison and up to $2,000 in fines.

Why is Georgia proving itself a eunuch? Come on guys. You should be ashamed for failing to lead the States in a drive toward American liberty. Of course, GA has never been much of a national leader, nor have they been especially friendly toward individual liberty. I'm disappointed but not at all surprised. Maybe a move to Wyoming is in my future.

Enemy of the States

Wayne — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:08:45 -0500

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. He is the master of deception. The greatest trick the tyrants ever pulled was convincing the nation they were legitimate. Our nation's greatest enemy is the federal government. There. I said it. And I have broken federal law doing so (despite the First Amendment's obvious protections). Our so-called president is an obvious usurper with overwhelming evidence of his illegitimacy. Congress is exempt from all their own rules, violates Constitutional limitations, and ignores Natural Law. The SCOTUS is made up of morons who can't interpret a menu correctly, let alone the Constitution. And it just goes downhill from there.

The FBI and Department of Justice opened an investigation [into ACORN's fraudulent activities]. However, the Obama Justice Department, while noting that ACORN had engaged in “questionable hiring and training practices,” closed down the investigation in March 2009, claiming ACORN broke no laws.

Show me someone who cannot see the fedgov's illegitimacy, a complete farce of a once Constitutional Republic, and I'll show you someone who is either stupidly aiding the enemy or is a knowing traitor to these United States.

Stupid "Christian"

Dave — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:36:47 -0500

A few weeks ago, Elton John was quoted as stating that Jesus was a "gay man." His "reasoning" was that, like gays, Jesus was "loving and forgiving." So, Mr. John has once again publicly demonstrated that he is a moron.^*

Neal Horsley took offense at Mr. John's statement. Unfortunately, instead of responding by demonstrating Christ's love to Mr. John, Mr. Horsley opted to publicly threaten him and call for his death. Mr. Horsley managed to reinforce anti-Christian stereotypes by demonstrating that he, too, is a moron. Not only that, but Horsley was arrested and is facing charges.

Persecution of Christians is on the rise. It's going to be bad enough if we don't provide our persecutors with ammunition! We must act in love, returning kindness for evil. Whether Elton John deserves to die at this point is irrelevant. Like each of us, he will stand before the judge, and he will receive perfect, Godly justice. Our sole concern should be doing whatever we can to ensure that John's judgment will be favorable.

^*Let's have a look at Elton's "logic." He uses an implied syllogism, which can be stated as: "Gays are loving and forgiving. Jesus was loving and forgiving. Therefore, Jesus was gay." I can see a number of problems. First, this syllogism is invalid. If we assume (just for the moment) that all gays are loving and forgiving, this does not preclude that non-gays can exhibit the same qualities. The next issue is that the premise, "gays are loving and forgiving," is demonstrably false. Have a look at how gays treat former homosexuals who choose a heterosexual lifestyle for confirmation of that. Finally, while Jesus did indeed seek to forgive His killers, the fact is that His forgiveness is nullified if it is rejected. If Mr. John stands before the Lord without having accepted His atoning sacrifice, then he will not find Jesus to be forgiving at all. So, it looks like Mr. John is 0-for-3 on the "Jesus is gay" argument. Brilliant analysis there, Elt.

Dog Politics

Wayne — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:13:57 -0500

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365. His meals are provided at no cost. He visits the doctor once a year for his checkup and any other times during the year if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing and nothing is required of him. He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep; these accommodations are absolutely free. He is living like a king and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head: my dog is a leftist!

Government Indoctrination

Wayne — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:59:06 -0500

Public education indeed:

A school district in Arizona has filed a lawsuit against a handful of taxpayers seeking a court ruling that they have no right to ask for public records, sue the district or even complain to anyone about the educational institution's activities.

Just what is so public about government schooling? Taxpayers can't ask for public records. They cannot petition the government for a redress of grievances. They cannot even exercise free speech by complaining. This is what the public schools want.

I really don't know how the evil that is public school can be made more obvious to the morons, so-called Christians included, who suck this teat of poison.
