Storms this weekend (1/12/12 and later)
Why is it when one points out an evil in this world, or a truckload of minions out to do the bidding of the true selfish henchman behind them...that there are SO MANY human beings who are blinded to the fact that the evil that exists right in front of their faces...just will not see it all for the horror that it is.
They'll say, "oh, that's not whats going on at all. They have a plan to fix the bad things in our lives, and they will take care of us."
Obama phones, anyone? Gun control? Murder by Drone? Innocent people being SWATTED? Children murdered in their classrooms? Innocents being victimized and held up as the REASON
for this evil?
Bull Shit.
Ignorance...selfishness... thoughtlessness...apathy...laziness...and sheer, absolute cynicism and total disregard to the fact...that no human being can be so psychologically damaged and depraved as to kill or maim or destroy the good that is still in the world...yet these drones utter the phrases the minions and the demons in control, and still regurgitate the fowl stench of demonic feces fed them in a global electronic cacophony of around-the-clock mush and code words and brainwashing...in instantaneous global transmission via smartphones, main stream media, worthless glossy magazines, and diets of poisoned food genetically designed to weaken the human body, mind, and soul.
These "drones" (and that's the only real word for them), simply....exist. Bounce from one mini-disaster to another...using one another, or another's things, as a Godless, soulless progression of one's ego and psyche of heartless depravity...not caring who they damage in the process, during their journey towards their own worthless, imagined, and infinitely selfish goals.
There ARE good men and woman out there. Human beings that recognize the mind control, info manipulation, the theft of life savings, of liberty, of freedom. They understand AND remember the basis of the founding of the American nation. They care. And, like myself, they don't like what they see.
Evil reigns supreme. It appears unstoppable. It is overbearing, despicable, ever-increasing. It is pulling out ALL stops to become the new defacto standard of what we used to call "The American Way".
Yet, there are these people...these patriots...these Americans....who also know enough history (both recent and America's founding principles) to know that if nothing is done, that those few...those precious few...the American's of the America that the world used to respect...that REAL Americans dreamed of, fought for, died for, and lived fully for...may truly be lost, following the same downward spiraling path that EVERY socialist, communist, and fascist regime in the last 112 years passed onto the oppressed, ignorant MASSES...killing 200 million humans who would not go along with their expectations...nothing more.
Education...not the mass education of liberal tripe and lies that liberal agenda has placed in our local schools for our children and grandchildren...but the education of singular awareness of freedom and liberty, is what should be on every plate in America.
If you're not well voiced in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, you're part of the problem. If you're not acting on your rights of free speech and the 2nd amendment as codified by our founding fathers, you deserve what you're getting, because you did NOT fight hard enough to keep away.
Something must be done. Something HAS to be done. By you...by me...by the utter strength of every fiber of each of our beings...to stop this hellish hole of lost rights, secret police, and immediate tyranny standing right in front of us...breathing stinking rancid air into our faces, cigar smoke blown up our nasal passages, and being controlled and threatened by government goons with guns held to our foreheads, pointed at our children, our neighbors...who didn't care enough to say "Stop. Enough already. Go fuck yourself, you commie bastard."
Oath keepers have a good idea, but will they have the backbone and wherewithal to stand up for those rights, when facing down IRS, FBI, NSA, UN, and foreign troops, or that new secret civilian army that Obama is now building?
Our own military may be used to forcefully go door to door confiscating our weapons, our food, and our children, to make sure WE comply? Not nearly enough of our soldiers have denied that they would never do that.
It comes down to the individual. You. Me. Everyone we know.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; that is your oath. (slap yourself hard) And that is so you remember it. Rise a knight.
You are not what you were born, but what you have it in yourself to be. It is up to you. Starting now

Written 12/28/12As I sit here on a brilliant but chilly spring morning in rural Wyoming, I'm listening to cable news. All the blather going on and on about the health care bill, and the Tea Party having a huge Sarah Palin-led rally in demoncrat Harry Reid's hometown of Searchlight, Nevada. I just had "The Conversation" with the Census Taker...Iand am reminded (again and again, many times a day) of this original, and oh so timely speech, by David (Davy) Crockett, while he was a member of the US House of representatives in the 1800's.
There is controversy of whether Col. Crockett did actually speak these words in congressional debate, but there is proof in congressional records that he did vote against the very idea that "Not Yours To Give" stands for...that of taking monies from taxes to donate to less fortunate Americans, without the direct consent of those citizens. In other words, the money that Congress was giving..."was not theirs to give".
It's a simple idea, very succinctly stated in the Constitution. The people have delegated to Congress, by the Constitution, the power to do certain things. To do these, it is authorized to collect and pay moneys, and for nothing else. Everything beyond this is usurpation, and a violation of the Constitution. What is so difficult for our representatives in Washington to understand?
Read on. Then, consider the overall ideals referenced in this story. Charity is an INDIVIDUAL right, and can NOT be forced. If it is, then it is taxation without representation, usurpation of constitutional mandates, and outright felonious theft.
Col. David Crockett
US Representative from TennesseeOriginally published in "The Life of Colonel David Crockett,"
by Edward Sylvester Ellis
One day in the House of Representatives a bill was taken up appropriating money for the benefit of a widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in its support. The speaker was just about to put the question when Crockett arose:
"Mr. Speaker--I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased, and as much sympathy for the suffering of the living, if there be, as any man in this House, but we must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not go into an argument to prove that Congress has not the power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member on this floor knows it.
We have the right as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money. Some eloquent appeals have been made to us upon the ground that it is a debt due the deceased. Mr. Speaker, the deceased lived long after the close of the war; he was in office to the day of his death, and I ever heard that the government was in arrears to him.
"Every man in this House knows it is not a debt. We cannot without the grossest corruption, appropriate this money as the payment of a debt. We have not the semblance of authority to appropriate it as charity. Mr. Speaker, I have said we have the right to give as much money of our own as we please. I am the poorest man on this floor. I cannot vote for this bill, but I will give one week's pay to the object, and if every member of Congress will do the same, it will amount to more than the bill asks."
