Why Is Democracy Such A Bad Thing?
by Doug Newman

***Begin Quote***

It has often been said that, in a democracy two wolves and a sheep take a majority vote on what’s for supper, while in a constitutional republic the wolves are forbidden on voting on what’s for supper and the sheep are well armed.

Gun Control = The Final Solution = Back to the Bronze Age
by Andrew G. Eggleston Sr.

***Begin Quote***

Gun control laws are akin to welcoming us all to the Bronze Age of survival, where the biggest, strongest, and most aggressive, take control and keep control. Without Sam Colt’s equalizer women again become property, men again have to carry large swords and knives to protect themselves. Sweat and blood-soaked battles like occurred inside the Roman Coliseum would become the only means of protecting ourselves, and would eventually encompass our children. Communities would be forced again to form militia to protect themselves from roving bands of looters. All of this would of course be in vain because the criminals who outnumber the finger-men (police) more than ten-to-one would be just as well or better armed than the “peacekeepers”. Only the private citizen suffers under such legislation, becoming disarmed victims. Once that happens the only thing left to the citizen, is to choose a side, police or criminal, to protect and defend their persons and chattels. But that discussion is a whole ‘nother subject, we call it “Civil War”.

***End Quote***

Yup, Sam Colt was right. The handgun makes the weakest women stronger than the most powerful man. Just as the cross bow polished off the Knights of the Roundtable, so to the “girlie gun” put the bad guys in their place … … with a new appreciation of the Second Amendment, in jail, or six feet under. Any of the three is equally fine with me.

LIBERTY: Government Divides, Families Unite – Pope Leo XIII saw it coming

Government Divides, Families Unite – Pope Leo XIII saw it coming
by Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., Senior Fellow in Economics

 

***Begin Quote***

This brings us to Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIII’s masterful document that kicked off modern Catholic social teaching. Americans are inclined to read this document simply as a defense of private property and the right to form independent trade unions. But thinking carefully about the family reveals a deeper meaning. Rerum Novarum is a protest against the tendency of the state to absorb all functions and institutions of society into itself. “It is not right,” Leo insists, “for either the citizens or the family to be absorbed by the State; it is proper that the individual and the family should be permitted to retain their freedom of action.”

Beginning with the French Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century and culminating in the Bolshevik Revolution at the beginning of the twentieth, revolutionary social movements have attempted to give the state complete jurisdiction over every aspect of society. Part of the statist strategy has been to redefine social institutions as mere collections of individuals. Rerum Novarum objects: “Although private societies exist within the State and are, as it were, so many parts of it, still it is not within the authority of the State universally and per se to forbid them to exist as such. For man is permitted by a right of nature to form private societies.”

In the days of the Kings, the Church was roughly equal and sometimes protected the the People. Now there is no effective counter balance to the Gooferment. It’s has destroyed education dumbing down the people, destroyed the Church with the help of pedophiles, and spent the country into poverty. So who will be the People’s champion? Where will the opposition to the new tyrants come from?

New Hampshire?
