Wolves and Sheep
by Andrew Young

***Begin Quote***

Third, millions of innocent Americans are subjected to unconstitutional searches and seizures of their person and property every single day. This happens, of course, at the airports, where TSA thugs force them to take off their shoes, belts, and all metallic objects before walking through a metal detector. As Napolitano points out, these bozos are adept at harassing innocent Americans and spotting harmless objects such as water bottles, deodorant cans, and toothpaste tubes. However, when it comes to spotting things that might actually be dangerous, such as, say, bombs and guns, they have proven remarkably incompetent. Napolitano notes that Department of Homeland Security employees and even a college student were able to smuggle knives, guns, a bomb, and other dangerous objects through TSA checkpoints. Since the publication of Napolitano’s book, the TSA’s own studies have proven it incompetent, finding that TSA screeners missed up to 75% of fake bombs.

If this wasn’t so serious, it would be humorous.

Like the Keystone Kops on steroids.

Personally, I won’t travel by air unless my arm is twisted.

One has to strike back any way one can.

Imagine if they gave a holiday season and NO ONE flew home!

“Sorry <insert favorite family member’s name>, I am not coming home for <Christmas, Thanksgiving, Winter Solstice> because of the Gooferment’s TSA makes it humiliating to fly.”

That would be stunning.

Think the sheeple will do it?

LIBERTY: “voting” doesn’t opt anyone in!

Opting Out Print

People opt in implicitly by voting or taking government benefits.

CONTRASTING

http://www.lewrockwell.com/mcelroy/mcelroy107.html

Lysander Spooner
by Wendy McElroy

*** begin quote ***

Spooner now explains why voting cannot collectively bind “the people” or even a particular individual to the Constitution. A rough listing of the points in his argument is as follows:

* The act of voting can bind only those who vote.
* Most people do not vote in any given election; many people never vote. Therefore, they have not consented.
* To be binding, a vote must be “perfectly voluntary” yet a “very large number” vote in self-defense.
* Taxation is compulsory and many vote only to prevent their money from being used against them.
* Votes for unsuccessful candidates cannot be binding.
* A secret vote provides no legal evidence by which to bind any particular voter to the Constitution.

*** end quote ***

SO … imho … “voting” doesn’t opt me in!

LIBERTY: What kind of libertarian?

Sunday, October 28, 2007

DTOMlib

***You Are a “Don’t Tread On Me” Libertarian***

You distrust the government, are fiercely independent, and don’t belong in either party.
Religion and politics should never mix, in your opinion… and you feel oppressed by both.
You don’t want the government to cramp your self made style. Or anyone else’s for that matter.
You’re proud to say that you’re pro-choice on absolutely everything!

What’s Your Political Persuasion?

LIBERTY: Think she’ll be a victim?

Home on the range

***End Quote***

Now assuming you are a bad guy, would you rather run up against this sovereign individual or that silly girl making vending machine costumes?

Who’s having fun?

Who’s in control of their own destiny?

Who’s intentions will be mistaken?

Note the Cooper’s stance. Not like in the movies.

She’s the progeny of the American Pioneer women!

GUNS: Disguise yourself as a vending machine

In Japan, refreshing ideas for the fearful
By Martin Fackler
Published: October 21, 2007

***Begin Quote***

TOKYO: On a narrow Tokyo street, near a beef bowl restaurant and a pachinko parlor, Aya Tsukioka demonstrated new clothing designs that she hoped would ease Japan’s growing fears of crime.

With a deft motion, Tsukioka, a 29-year-old fashion designer, lifted a flap on the front of her skirt to reveal a large sheet of cloth printed in bright red with a soft drink logo partly visible. By holding the sheet fully open and stepping to the side of the road, she showed how a woman walking alone could elude pursuers – by disguising herself as a vending machine.

The wearer hides behind the sheet, which is printed with a life-size photo of a vending machine. Tsukioka’s clothing is still in the developmental stage, but she has already created several versions, including one that unfolds from a kimono, and a deluxe model with four sides for more complete camouflaging.

***End Quote***

Neat idea.

Lousy solution.

Sam Colt gave women equality decades ago. The smallest frailest woman is more than a match for the biggest brutish predator. The hand gun.

Yup, easy to conceal, easy to operate, easy to be part of that “well regulated” militia the Constitution talks about.

(For the uneducated, by “well regulated”, the dead old white guys meant being able to hit what you aim at.)

So, instead of disguising yourself as Coke machine and hope the thug is NOT thirsty, our threaten female puts her back to the wall, gets into a Cooper stance, puts her finger on the trigger, and announces tot he world in her best imitation of Clint Eastwood “Well punk are you feeling lucky?”.

I don’t know about you but I would be back peddling as fast as I can and wondering where am I going to find clean shorts.

See, our founding fathers understood that the world is a dangerous place. And, we were responsible for our own protection. And, we could do it quite well.

Crime is a direct result of the gooferment’s war on drugs. No war on drugs would mean low cost drugs that meant addict would not have to steal to support a habit. Also, no turf wars.

So, the amount of crime related violence would be reduced.

Allowing those that want to, to pack heat, would take care of the residual. Sprinkle the population with a few “sheepdogs” and the rest of the sheep can go about their business undisturbed.

So dress like a vending machine or stand up like a free person?

“I know not course others will take, but for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

GUNS: They would still be sheep, but they would not be food!

The Parable of the Sheep

***Begin Quote***

The bold sheep knew that the fangs and claws they possessed had not changed them. They still grazed like other sheep, and raised their lambs in the spring, and greeted their friend the dog as he walked among them. But they could not quell the terror of the flock, which rose in them like some ancient dark smoky spirit and could not be damped by reason, nor dispelled by the light of day.

So they resolved to retain their weapons, but to conceal them from the flock; to endure their fear and loathing, and even to protect their brethren if the need arose, until the day the flock learned to understand that as long as there were wolves in the night, sheep would need teeth to repel them.

They would still be sheep, but they would not be food!

r u a sheeple or a sheepdog?

LIBERTY: separate the gooferment from education

Monday, October 22, 2007

Big Brother at school
By Jeff Jacoby, Globe Columnist | October 17, 2007

***Begin Quote***

Thus in a little over 100 years, the Democratic Party – and much of the Republican Party – has been transformed from a champion of “parental rights and rights of conscience in the education of children” to a party whose leaders believe that parents “don’t get to impose” their views and values on what their kids are taught in school. Do American parents see anything wrong with that? Apparently not: The majority of them dutifully enroll their children in government-operated schools, where the only views and values permitted are the ones prescribed by the state.

***End Quote***

Have to separate the gooferment from education. It’s a freedom of religion issue.

GUNS: “empty holster” demonstration

There’s A Reason They Choose Schools
A familiar story.
By Timothy Wheeler

***Begin Quote***

It is encouraging that college students themselves have a much better grasp on reality than their politically correct elders. During the week of October 22-26 Students For Concealed Carry On Campus will stage a nationwide “empty holster” demonstration (peaceful, of course) in support of their cause.

***End Quote***

Hopefully lot’s of people will get the word that they have a Second Amendment RIGHT to defend themselves. No permission needed!

The Buried Legacy of Hollywood Anti-Communism
By J.R. Dunn

***Begin Quote***

A number of anti-communist films were made in Hollywood during the late 40s through the 50s, many of them featuring well-known names and of high quality. Almost none are available today. This is no accident, comrades.

***End Quote***

Interesting that the liberal bias keeps us from a historical perspective. Guess we have to wait for the copyright to run out. In the meantime, we have to fight the race towards socialism.
