RANT: How do I acquire this “moral obligation”?
Thursday, April 9, 2009http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=93479
The moral dilemma of today’s statists
A Minority View Walter Williams
Posted: April 01, 2009
*** begin quote ***
There is neither moral justification nor constitutional authority for what amounts to legalized theft. This is not an argument against paying taxes. We all have a moral obligation to pay our share of the constitutionally mandated and enumerated functions of the federal government.
*** end quote ***
Unfortunately, I have to disagree with Professor Williams. I’m even further out on the Libertarian spectrum form him. I can refute his “moral obligation” with two words:
“Lysander Spooner”!
How is it I’m bound by what the DOWGs wrote before I was ever born?
And, that assumes that the Constitution in some way binds the gang in the District of Corruption!
Argh!

RANT: We don’t need gooferment “help”

The End of the “Voucher” Argument
Posted by Thomas DiLorenzo at April 4, 2009 05:09 PM
*** begin quote ***
Proponents of a form of “market socialism” known as “school vouchers” have long ignored the argument that along with government money would come government control of private schools that accept voucher students. This would in turn destroy the private schools, eventually. This argument against vouchers was always unanswerable, but the current antics of the Obammunists should prove once and for all what a hoax it is to call voucher welfare a “libertarian” idea.
*** end quote ***
As a past fan of “vouchers”, I thought they could be useful as a transition mechanism from the Socialistic “School” system we currently have to a Free Market version. Now that we’ve seen the damage the Gooferment can do with its rules (i.e., “mark to market”; “short sale uptick rule”; taxe preferences) and its help (i.e., killing one Lehman but “saving” a competitor AIG; GM; the “bonus” executives).
In short, we just have to close it down! It’s too big, too powerful, and too dangerous.

MONEY: Leaving the American Dollar
Wednesday, April 8, 2009Russia backs return to Gold Standard to solve financial crisis
# – # – #
Anything that moves the world off the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency is going to hurt us. The Chinese alone are holding 5T$. What do they do? Obama’s deficits are 2T$ in 2009 alone. Who’s going to buy that debt?
As always, it’s posterity who is going to be left holding the bag.
What can us little folk do? Buy bullion gold coins, take delivery, and “bury” them at home as part of your “savings”. It’s the only investment option that gets you off the fiat currencies. Read about the pre-WW2 German inflation and the news reports out of Zimbabwe. It’s coming, the only question is when. Obama’s socialism and spending is going to make us all poorer, very quickly.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Gooferment refuses to TARP repayment
Tuesday, April 7, 2009http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123879833094588163.html

Obama Wants to Control the Banks
There’s a reason he refuses to accept repayment of TARP money.
By STUART VARNEY
*** begin quote ***
I must be naive. I really thought the administration would welcome the return of bank bailout money. Some $340 million in TARP cash flowed back this week from four small banks in Louisiana, New York, Indiana and California. This isn’t much when we routinely talk in trillions, but clearly that money has not been wasted or otherwise sunk down Wall Street’s black hole. So why no cheering as the cash comes back?
My answer: The government wants to control the banks, just as it now controls GM and Chrysler, and will surely control the health industry in the not-too-distant future. Keeping them TARP-stuffed is the key to control. And for this intensely political president, mere influence is not enough. The White House wants to tell ’em what to do. Control. Direct. Command.
It is not for nothing that rage has been turned on those wicked financiers. The banks are at the core of the administration’s thrust: By managing the money, government can steer the whole economy even more firmly down the left fork in the road.
{Extraneous Deleted}
*** end quote ***
It’s all about taking the county socialist. He was rated the 100% liberal senator. He has no other skill than manipulation.
We will never recover from this enormous debt he’s putting on our posterity.
Like Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Johnson, and Clinton, he’s taking us where we can’t get back from.
The American Experiment has failed.
Where will the new Revolution arise from?
When do the People again take to the barricades to fight for Freedom and Liberty?
Obama made a joke or threat to the Bankers saying “I am the only think between you and the pitchforks.” I’d take care Mister Politician. When the People get out the pitchforks as few of us my come after the Politicians and not the Bankers.
Beware the Devil’s bargain. And, the gooferment is that devil.

GUNS: Plaxico is sacrificed over “victim disarmament”

Released by Giants, Burress Loses His Football Family
By WILLIAM C. RHODEN
Published: April 3, 2009
*** begin quote ***
A few days after committing the blunder of his life last year, Plaxico Burress sat in a Giants office with a look on his face that General Manager Jerry Reese had never seen before.
Reese had seen plenty — mostly disinterested looks through all the fines and suspensions levied during the course of Burress’s four years with the Giants. The lectures all seemed to go over, under and around Burress, but never seemed to penetrate.
Then on Nov. 29, Burress crossed the line. He accidentally shot himself in the thigh in a Manhattan nightclub with an unlicensed gun he had tucked into his waistband. Burress was charged with two counts of criminal weapons possession. Worse, his recklessness incurred the wrath of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who has made the prosecution of illegal weapons possession one of his pet projects.
*** end quote ***
If we were following that worthless piece of paper (i.e., the Constitution), this would be a non-issue.
The RKBA shall not be infringed!
So, while he may have been stupid or inept, he did have a right to that gun. He did have a right to defend himself. No one addresses the reasons why football players were afraid.
While I won’t get on his jury, one can only hope he gets some “gun nuts” on the jury. Or, some one who’s read the FIJA literature.

GOVERNACIDE: Binghamton victims were un_Constitutionally disarmed.
Monday, April 6, 2009http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/04/06/binghamton-victims-died-seeking-better-lives/
Binghamton victims died seeking better lives
# – # – #
Glen Beck’s site doesn’t place the blame squarely on the politicians who set up the conditions necessary to allow this to happen — victims who were un_Constitutionally disarmed.
Naturally, I left a comment:
*** begin quote ***
Sorry, the Binghamton victims died because of New York State’s unconstitutional victim disarmament, aka gun control, laws. The center had no security. People rely on the “police” that are merely paper pushers. One concealed carry permit in that crowd and we would have a vastly different story. It works. Sprinkle a few “sheepdogs” in among the sheep and everyone is protected. Sorry, but it’s a fact of life. You have to protect yourself and your loved ones. Ignoring the security problem doesn’t make it go away. Even if the police were perfect; they can’t be there when the problems occur. Only a well armed citizenry can be the “police”. Take any of these mass murders and do a mental experiment. If we have, even under these draconian laws, 130 million guns in a population of 300 million, lets ASSUME that 10% of the populace chooses to arm themselves. That means that in the 14 dead, there would be one armed defender. And, in the 30 or so people in the center, there might be three armed defenders. I’m happy to give my fellow Americans — citizen or not — their right to defend their own lives. Just as I would want the same right. Glenn has a long way to go before he’s a “libertarian”. First, he has to put the blame squarely on the gooferment for setting up the conditions for this disaster, and so many others! imho!

WHICH DREW A RESPONSE:
CENTERLEFT said: “You assume that all these gun-toting, would be heros can shoot straight in the high stress situation of a crazy gunman opening fire on a crowd. That would not be my assumption. I feel I would be in as much danger from a stray bullet from a bystander. as I would be from the crazy shooter himself.“
*** begin quote ***
@centerleft No I don’t assume that anyone can shoot straight under stress.
(Humorously, the police are far worse shooters than dedicated amateurs. Just check with any police range officer who will be honest or any cun club open event. It’s scary that we give these people guns. That’s where you should be afraid!)
My assumptiona dn hope is that just the threat of “sheepdogs” mixed in with the sheep will dicourage any would be gun man. There have been several examples of gunman being shot while they reloaded by an armed bystander.
The point is that the police can’t be everywhere. And, We The People are the “police”. See Katrina after the evacuation. It’s our willingness to stand up for what’s right and our fellow human beings that will count.
If I had a Concealed Carry Permit, I’d got o Front Sight for their four day training and spend more time at the range to maintain my proficiency. But, the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee doesn’t permit its “citizens”. See the elite remember the American Revolution.
