If We the People Were Actually in Charge
By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

Perhaps no greater delusion stubbornly persists from one generation to the next than the idea that governments can be trusted. Sure, they conduct their affairs in secret, spy on their own people, and arm themselves to the teeth — but, by all means, trust them as you would a dear relative. Sure, they steal from productive citizens, manipulate markets, and swell their bureaucratic armies with ever-growing taxes — but, by all means, trust them as you would a close business associate. Sure, they impose their beliefs on our culture, ban the public expression of unfavored religions, and interpose their agents between parents and children — but, by all means, trust them as you might a pastor, rabbi, or priest.

Ronald Regan’s words rang true.  The Gooferment is not only NOT your friend.  It’s your enemy.  And, should be treated as such.

IMHO

Argh!

POLITICAL: Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment

Throw All the Bums Out

By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

The reason is simple: if Marxist globalists get their way, then sovereign U.S. powers will continue to be unlawfully delegated to the U.N., the WHO, and other international monstrosities until some Obama-type tyrant is ruling over us all from Turtle Bay or a stately castle outside Brussels.

*** and ***

Our Union came into existence only because the former colonies were assured that they would maintain their freedom and independence. Had the Articles of Confederation or their successor, the U.S. Constitution, sought to extinguish the individual states’ inherent sovereignties by replacing their discrete political powers with those of a single new nation, then no agreement to form a Union would have ever been reached. The colonies did not fight a war for their independence from an empire only to squander their victory and become part of another empire.

*** and ***

What we need is a movement of people who recognize that nullification is not only possible, but necessary. The problem is that Americans have been forced to choose between two private corporations posing as political parties that do not embrace a duty to protect Americans’ freedom and liberty. That is perhaps the most telling symptom of our current problems. A Union that was formed to protect the people’s inalienable rights and liberties has no political party addressing those foundational concerns on the national stage.  

Perhaps it is time to throw all the bums out, so that we may begin representing ourselves.

Let’s start by repealing the Seventeenth Amendment which “defanged” the States from controlling the Federal (Central) Gooferment.

Sorry, DC — Too Many Americans Remember
By J.B. Shurk 

*** begin quote ***

Conversely, we could boil down all of the various Machiavellian plans being unfurled today by Western governments seeking our surrender into a single order: forget.

 

Forget your history and your ancestors’ sacrifices.

Forget your religious convictions.

Forget your natural rights and freedoms.

Forget the importance of personal liberty, property, and privacy.

Forget the sanctified bonds of marriage.

Forget the unbreakable bonds of families.

Forget the sacred duties of parents.  

 

Forget that forced experimental medical treatments are crimes against humanity.

Forget that climate cultists were warning about global cooling just years before warning about global warming.

Forget that one-world-government types who wish to control all farming methods and hydrocarbon energies have depended on climate models that have been consistently wrong.

Forget that race relations had drastically improved during the last century before the callous race-hustlers re-emerged with new intensity to divide human beings again.  

 

Forget that paper money backed by gold once had value.

Forget that warrantless government surveillance is a sign of tyranny.

Forget that J6 election protesters have been persecuted as “insurrectionists” while Antifa and Black Lives Matter domestic terrorists have been protected from prosecution.

Forget the lies told to justify earlier wars so that new lies can be told to justify the next.

Forget that a government’s legitimacy comes from the people’s consent.

Forget that freedom of conscience outweighs orders to comply.

Forget that censorship is a weapon of oppressors.

Forget that free speech is the hallmark of liberty.

Forget that a person’s life and labor do not belong to the State.

Forget that art, culture, imagination, and innovation all give civilizations enduring strength.

*** end quote ***

In all the chaos brought on our civil society, “We, The Sheeple” must be urged NOT to FORGET!

INSPIRATIONAL: All it takes is one hero to push back — who will it be?

All It Takes Is One Hero
By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

No matter how dark things get, all it takes is one hero to push back. Heroes, after all, are not remembered for following the crowd; they emerge because they run in the opposite direction, often into known danger, and spur others to stop, turn around, and act. It is always the lone voice that inspires a people to rise against the injustices of any age. It is the stubborn persistence of the few who marshal real change. It is the resolute among us who peer at the raging inferno without fear. It is the wise who remember that every waterfall begins with just one drop of rain. It is the hopeful who can look around at today’s chaos and see clearly the opportunity for great change.

*** end quote ***

Who will it be?  

Where are our Patrick Henry’s, Nathan Hales’, or John Paul Jones?

Joe Rogan?  Dave Smith?  Michael Malice?

We certainly need one.

GUNS: “Gun rights are women’s rights, but they are also human rights.”

Gun Rights Make for Good Manners and Safe Nations
By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

No woman on the frontier protecting the family’s homestead was complete without her rifle, and no woman living in today’s increasingly lawless society is complete without the means and capacity to put down quickly any potential attacker, no matter the aggressor’s size.

Gun rights are women’s rights, but they are also human rights. No person — regardless of sex, size, color, nationality, or any other phenotypic reality — should ever be forced into a position where self-defense is not an option. Any person walking down the street should be in near total control over whether that walk will be his last. Police forces, no matter how vigilant or dedicated, do not supplant a civilian’s sacred duty to fight back when pressed.

*** end quote ***

When my sainted paternal grandmother was asked by a social worker if the rifle over her fireplace was loaded, her typically terse response was “weren’t be no good if it wasn’t.”

When the author wrote “No woman on the frontier protecting the family’s homestead was complete without her rifle”, I immediately thought of her as twelve year old new married woman with her thirteen year old husband leaving Germany dirt poor and eventually traveling the Oregon trail in a Conestoga wagon to meet and settle down with relatives in Portland Oregon.  I never got the chance to ask her his she had to use that rifle.  But I have no doubt that she would.

Guess which gay to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Pink Pistol and you’re dead!

Guess which woman to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Paxton Quigly and you’re dead!

Guess which brown person to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Massad Ayoob and you’re dead!”

It’s hard to imagine that the USA disarms women in the hope that it makes them “safe”.  It makes them “victims”.

Argh!

Stupid, stupid, stupid.
