Republic's Founders On Guns & Tyranny---Updated

A.     "No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms"; "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"; "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants";"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria) (President Thomas Jefferson)

B.  "The very atmosphere of firearms any where and every where restrains evil interference---they deserve a place of honor with all that is good.";  "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty teeth";  "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a a fearful master"; "Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected"; And, as still true,  "The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves"; “A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government (Attributed to George Washington).

C.   "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve  it but downright force. When you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined"; "Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?"; "The liberties of a people never were, nor every will be secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them" ;  And, of course, "Give me liberty or death!" (Patrick Henry)

D.     "The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.      (President James Madison)

E.   "To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them."; "I ask sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few politicians." - George Mason (father of the Bill of Rights and The Virginia Declaration of Rights)

F.   "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
- Richard Henry Lee

G.  "A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves ... and include all men capable of bearing arms." (Richard Henry Lee)

H.  "The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." (Samuel Adams)

I.      "A Democracy is like two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch.  A Republic is like two wolves and a well armed lamb deciding what to have for lunch."; And, “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both”. – (Ben Franklin).

====================================

C.A.I.R. As Criminal Organization

The "Council on American Islamic Relations" was an "Unindicted Co-Conspirator" in the anti-terrorism Federal court case (United States v. Holy Land Foundation, et. al.; Cr. No. 3:04-240-P; N.D.TX.). This designation was sustained in spite of appeals and challenges by CAIR.

The basic defendants were found guilty as to over 100-counts.

Recent news clearly demonstrates that CAIR continues its Jihad against our Constitution's provisions for the protection of free speech and the "free exercise of religion" by all citizens.

Mentally Ill, Guns & Constitutional Rights To Due Process

I am becoming more-and-more disturbed  about the far too many politicians, news commentators/reporters, those opposed to the fullest exercise of Second Amendment rights and others of that ilk who loosely  substitute the terms  "mentally ill"  OR "emotionally disturbed", for the more accurate term "dangerous mentally ill" as to those who should not be allowed to obtain firearms.

It is fit-and-proper and legally/constitutionally-sound  that someone should be declared "Dangerously Mentally Ill" only after a fact-based and contested hearing before a judge-and-jury, in accordance with our 1000 year old system of laws and our Constitution. Why? Because to tag any citizen as being "dangerously mentally ill" takes from such citizens as many civil and political rights as a conviction of a felony---And, deserves the same legal protections.  

At this time there are too many government units (eg -- The FBI) who will accept the unverified and non-judicial comments of some (Anonymous?) Psychologist/Psychiatrist/Other-persons as sufficient "Proof" to deprive citizens of a basic civil right.  Even super-sane me (If, and only if,  you accept my self-diagnosis)  once consulted a psychologist, with my wife, to iron out some marital problems---Which smoothing did occur. .

 Should I or some child with home/school problems who sees a school psychologist or some active-duty member of the Armed Forces/Veteran for whom war/other-problems has resulted in s/he seeking counseling, and other like and law-abiding citizens be deprived of a basic civil right without "due process of law"? [I believe we have another, of too many  Federal Laws which provides for both criminal and civil prosecution for "Deprivation of Civil Rights Under Color Of Law" which should deal with and punish those who would do so to those who are not dangerously mentally ill.

The FBI has reportedly placed entire groups of innocent military veterans on the "no buy"  list and that without "due process of law".

April, 2013 Note:  the New York State Police are seizing guns from citizens who are lawfully taking anti-depression medications without any prior “due process of law”. After the death of my beloved wife I took such “meds” for a short time which, in NY, would have led to my being deprived of my rights under the Second Amendment to the Constitution before  my other rights were violated.

My Confesson Of Racial "Prejudice"

Yes, I do hold some "prejudices" about Blacks!

       I am prejudiced in favor of such Blacks as: Professor Thomas Sowell (A 'high school dropout"); Secretary-of-State and Professor Condoleezza Rice (Whose parents were Black school teachers in the South when such persons were not well paid or regarded); Mathematician and business leader Herman Cain; Dr. Benjamin S. Carson; Lt. Col. and Congressman Alan West (A combat hero who destroyed his military career by protecting "his troops"); Mr. Justice Thomas (Who was born in a "Deep South" town without paved roads and without a sewage system to a "farm worker" father and a mother who was a "domestic"); The Great Christian Nelson Mandela; Such less known co-workers of mine as Ralph Jefferson, Jim Foote and Mr. & Mrs. Lionel James; And some personal friends (One of whom was my house guest for over a month). I even favor Mr. Juan Williams, even though he holds many positions very much opposed to mine and attempts to "defend the indefensible" ("Obamacare").
       The central characteristic of those most-excellent persons is that they (By self-disciplined efforts) contribute much, much, more to our nation (And their race) than they take out in very hard-earned rewards.

       I am prejudiced against: Those Blacks (eg Jessie Jackson, Cornel West, Al Sharpton, Julian Bond, Jeremiah Wright, Leonard Pitts) who poof up their incomes and over-developed senses of self-worth by stirring up what remains of racial distrust in the USA; Those Blacks (eg Eric Holder and B. H. Obama) who are very active in attacking the provisions of the Bill Of Rights and the basic structure (ie Separation Of Powers) of our Republic;  Those Blacks who support Islam (Either as members of the "Nation Of Islam" or more orthodox groups) which is aimed at the destruction of democracy and real civilizations and which support is Treason as defined in Article-III, Section-3 of the Constitution; Those parasites  who maintain the "rap" and "hip-hop" sub-culture, which glorifies abuse of women, murder and other horrors;  Such outright thugs and criminals as Cystral Mangum, Tawana Brawley,  Trayvon Martin, those who "play the knock out game"; And, others well known to you.
       The central characteristic of those horrid persons is that they take, by overt crimes or more indirect means, from other people and give so little (If anything), as includes the reputation of other Black

On Lawyers

Attorneys & GNP

It appears that the usually billed "services" of attorneys are included in the USA 's Gross National Product along with those of dentists, physicians, landscapers and other independent craftsmen, legitimate massage therapists , and other like persons.

But, what do attorneys produce? Oh, there are some who defend the innocent, prosecute the guilty, insure a fair criminal or civil trial, arrange for the proper distribution of the property of those who have died and, sometimes, bring people closer together than otherwise.

But, too many (Most?) of attorneys in the USA feed off the overly complex laws and government regulations inflicted on the People; Laws-and-rules that they, for the most part, created by lawyers as members of the Congress and other legislative bodies, as well as the administrative agencies that they dominate. Of course, they properly also control the remaining, judicial, branch of government (Although there are other models for oversight of the judicial process.)

We should ask the following questions and reflect on them and the probable answers.
1.. What part of our GNP is "services by attorneys"?
2. How does that compare with today's economic powerhouses of Japan , India and the People's Republic of China ?
3. How many words of laws and regulations are in-effect and put-into-effect in the USA each year VS. those other nations?
4. Would the People of the USA be better off if Attorneys were barred, by Amending our Constitution, from being Members of the Congress? (And allowing the Several States to do the same for their Legislatures?)

Farmers, Assembly Workers, Whores & Lawyers

Farmers produce the food we need and some we only want; Assembly workers produce our autos (Buy American!) and the many other things we need and want; Medical staff output is less concrete, but healing is both needed and useful; Hotel workers (Hire ONLY citizens and legal immigrants!) do useful work in meeting our needs; Even whores provide a service (And STDs!) which some appear to want---If not need.

For the most part, what do attorneys "produce"? Well, as legislators (Most such are attorneys) they produce laws---Which they are hired to interpret as judges, consultants, etc.. In some way they help maintain paper industries; But, their "production" can not be eaten or used to shelter us from the elements or provide joy-or-pleasure (Who, other than some very greedy people, ever gets such from attorneys?).

Oh yes---Some maintain that lawyers protect the innocent and defend the rights of all (In many cases threatened only by the actions of other attorneys). Yet, what part of this nation's wealth is used for such laudable causes and what in self-serving "lawyer business", the generation of fees for illusions being the primary thrust of too many (Most?) law firms.

It might be well to reflect on the fact that attorneys rule (And, misrule by tyranny) our courts, dominate our legislative bodies and are well on the way to controlling, by overly complex laws and regulations, our governments' executive branches.

In fact, you might ask what part of our GNP is actually the empty production of law firms as opposed to such very advanced (And "under attorneyed") nations as Japan or the newest, 5,000 pound gorilla in the world's economy, the “Peoples Republic Of China”?

As for myself and whenever all other factors are more-or-less equal, I always vote for a non-attorney VS. a lawyer. I encourage all to do the same!

For the good of the nation, we should really pass US and State constitutional amendments which would (Five-years after passage) forbid any attorney from being a member of the Congress or State Legislatures.

Give Respect To Mohammed--Islam's Ideal & Model Man

We should join Muslims in honoring Mohammed (rihf), Islam's ideal and model man!

After all, he was a murderer, bandit, liar and treaty-breaker and, among other things, the perverted sexual abuser of a nine-year-young girl-child.

Ideal Model For/Of Homosexual Lobby

The ideal for/of the "homosexual lobby" IS a: Hispanic surnamed, Black, Lesbian/Bi-Sexual, sex-changed, "female", who physically attacks meat eaters, substance abusing, dishonorably discharged military vet, parolee, with one leg, a glass eye, a very repulsive skin disease and bad breath, who is now unemployed after being fired from "her" prior position as a Priestess within a San Francisco Satan-Worshiping congregation for being "too evil"and was previously expelled by the University Of California-Berkeley (Political Science Major) AND from all local political organizations and Mosques for being "too radically leftist" or too violent

Gun Buy Back Programs

There have been a number of “Gun Buy Back” programs sponsored by various churches and government units.

There is no evidence based on such research as is “reliable and valid” and with a “high level of confidence” (If, and only if, you do not know the meaning of those term, look them up!) that would support any position that such programs reduce the criminal misuse of guns.

There are some “hints” that some have sold “junk guns” to obtain money to obtain modern firearms. Since such “buy back programs” do not ask for ID, there is no way to determine if any of those sellers were or become such criminal mis-users.

The question also arises: “Are the gun buyers in violation of those laws, regulations and rules which must be obeyed by gun stores?”.

From A "Right Wing Gun Nut"

Commentary from Paul R. Beane on KFYO radio on 1/24/2013:

Good afternoon, I'm Paul R. Beane and I'm your right wing gun nut.

You know me and fellow gun owners are responsible for all the carnage in our streets and our schools.

Never mind that Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my entire collection of firearms; Most of which I have owned since childhood when I saved my pennies and nickels in order to purchase them and each and everyone is in perfect working order.

It is the responsible gun owners of today that are being blamed for all the shootings.

Obama calls us the right wing gun nuts, clinging to our guns and to our religion.

But lets take a little closer look. The Fort Hood shooter, a Muslim, and a registered Democrat.

The Virginia Tech shooter, he wrote hate mail to George Bush and his staff and was a registered Democrat.

 

The Aurora Colorado theater shooter was a staff worker on the Obama campaign and took part in Occupy Wall Street .

He was a progressive liberal and guess what? A registered Democrat.

 

The Newtown , CT (nb Sandy Hook School) shooter hated Christians and was a registered Democrat.

 

The Columbine high school shooters were too young to vote,

but both of their families were progressive liberals and registeredDemocrats.

 

And one more thing:

Not a single one of these killers were members of the National Rifle Association.

 

So I have got it figured out how to make this country much safer;

leave the guns alone and lock up all the Democrats.

Truth, Fiction, Jefferson & The Separation Clause

         "Him and his wall of separation between church and state---such claptrap! Such a wall serves only those who want to keep God on the far side of it, so they can divide up the nation without interference." . . . "Mark my words, when a government pretends that it is the highest judge of its own actions, the results is not freedom as  Jefferson says, but chaos and oppression.  When he shuts religion out of government, when men of faith are not listened to, then all that remains is venality, posturing and ambition." (A).

        The quote provided above are from a work of fiction (A). It is a criticism of President Thomas Jefferson's views on his proposal for a  wall of separation between church and state as expressed in a private letter to one religious congregation.  Although Mr. Jefferson's views on citizens, liberty and arms agreed with those expressed by other "Founding Fathers" (B), that separation view was very different from such examples provided by George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation (C) and President John Adams (D)  on religion .
         An honest review of the History of the First Amendment provides evidence that it was intended to limit only the new national government from establishing such as State Religion as was: The Church of England in England; The "Kirk" in Scotland; The Lutheran Church is much of Europe; The Catholic Church in the balance of Western Europe; The Orthodox Churches in most of Eastern Europe, where the State Religion of Islam did not prevail, Etc..  The basic proof for that position is that some of the original States maintained "official churches", in fact and in law, to as late as 1833 (E). 
       Some very famous and insightful persons (F, G & H) have noted the value of fiction (Lies?) to bring out the truth.
       One fact that is stranger than fiction is that the Supreme Court Of The United States allowed the modern mis-interpretation  of the "Separation Clause" to be written by a once active member of the KKK and special hater of the Western branch of the oldest Christian Church.
       Of course, SCOTUS has, from time-to-time, been dominated by those high priests  who like other Hierarchs, Ayatollahs and the like wish to destroy all true religions to make the Law the USA's "State
Religion"(I).     
      The honest and studious citizen might reflect on some of the changes since Mr. Justice Black issued his infamous decision:  Effective destruction of the letter and spirit of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution and diminishing of Federalism; A steady and accelerating set of attacks on the other provisions of the Bill Of Rights (Especially Articles I, II, IV, V &VI), A steady movement from reasoned liberty, to "license" to full blown perversions; A concentration of power in the Federal Executive including rule by Executive Orders and Administrative Rules rather that Acts Of Congress and the massive arming of civilian bureaucrats much more loyal to their political bosses than the still traditional loyalty of those in our Armed Forces to the Constitution.   Perhaps, the solution lies in Thomas Jefferson's better views on arms and the People (B).
