Military demands details on soldiers' private guns

"A military commander at Fort Campbell in Kentucky demanded his soldiers give him the registration numbers of any guns they own privately and then reveal where they are stored. The order was stopped, according to base officials, when it was discovered the commander was not "acting within his authority.'" [link]

Now that is just plain scary. What reason would the army need to know who owns guns and where they are stored?

Also, isn't it funny how some things can be stopped when it is discovered that someone was not "acting within his authority"? How about stopping members of Congress who are constantly doing things not within their authority.

A Prime Example of Why He Uses Teleprompters

"...And then it happened. Mr Obama said: “It’s like – it was like the Special Olympics, or something.” And in the instant he said it, you could see a flash of realisation in his eyes: I’ve just mocked the disabled. On live TV." [link]

It is a good thing he was elected for his ability to talk because his policies are going to ruin us...Oh wait a minute, he can't speak either unless it is scripted. Guess we're screwed regardless then

Missouri Governor Stands Behind MIAC Smear Report

"Nixon defends document that equates Ron Paul supporters & people who display bumper stickers with terrorists, says feds will continue to issue similar reports." [link]

Well, honestly if the federal government and others in "power" take this view. Then Claire Wolfe's quote is not longer relevant, because if they think this way about people that know and understand the Constitution then they don't give a damn about anything else sacred in this country.

Administration to Have Farmers Register

How about we take a brief look at a new bill offered up in Congress? Please take a look at H.R. 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009. The above link is the bill as it appears in the House. The bill in the senate is S. 510.

What these bills propose, is that anyone who produces food of any kind and then transports it for sale, must register with the government. Under a new agency dubbed the "Food Safety Administration". There is no waiver, even for those that sale at Farmers Markets. Even worse those that do register agree to federal agents inspecting their property as well as all records related to food production.

What is quite ironic about all of this is that now the Obama's are starting a garden at the Whitehouse. Isn't it nice that since they are rich and have the means, they can grow their own food as a privilege instead of having to rely on their crops for their livelihood?

Just remember there are three things needed for a successful Revolution. Food, health, and money. And as is evident Obama is not starting to try and limit all three. What is he afraid of?

We Need To Ask: For What Purpose?

"President Obama's budget would generate deficits averaging almost $1 trillion a year over the next decade, according to the latest congressional estimates, significantly worse than predicted by the White House just last month...Obama's budget will produce $9.3 trillion worth of red ink over 2010-2019. That's $2.3 trillion worse than the White House predicted in its budget... By the end of the decade, the deficit would exceed 5 percent of gross domestic product, a dangerously high level...White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Friday that the new projections won't stop Obama from achieving his goals or keeping his promise to cut the country's red ink in half within four years." [link]

Given this information I think that it is imperative to ask, if the outlook for this plan is this bad, something that will literally cripple the nations economy, and effect every single American in one way or another, then Obama, what is your purpose? What are your goals? What is your agenda?

Is it not already evident that the best interest of the country are not his goals and objectives, but rather some other socioeconomic political agenda?

Quote for the Day

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... 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

Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth." -- George Washington

Reader Feedback?

I am sure that quite a few people come across this site and think it is completely an anti-Obama site. While for the past month or so the majority of the things I post on here have had to do with Obama and his administration one must look past the people or the headlines. I have been spreading the word about the losses of liberty, freedom, and outright corruption that goes on in the United States. It just so happens that Obama happens to be the one that is pushing and/or allowing for these violations of the Constitution to happen. Had I been blogging when Bush was in office you would have seen the same types of posts. They are both shredders of the United States Constitution and I hold no respect or gratitude to either one. In other words I am and equal opportunity opponent of tyranny and anything that limits freedom.

I now ask you the readers of this blog to tell me what you would like to read about? What stories would you like to hear about? What ideas would you like to see me promote? (As long as they are pro-freedom). I will still continue to do what I am doing, and appreciate the visits from those of you that are regular visitors and your reassuring comments and advice.

Obama Claims He's Responsible, Then Blames Other People

Once again, from the King of Contradiction, the Liar-in-Chief, the Rascal of Rhetoric, OK so you get the point.

"President Obama has mastered the art of employing rhetoric that makes it sound as if he's doing something uniquely virtuous and heroic when in reality he's doing stuff that political leaders often do. [That would be lie for those of you who haven't figured this out yet] We've seen this with the way he touts bipartisanship while being unwilling to offer real compromises or the way he proclaims he isn't hiring lobbyists when he actually is..." [link]

Glad to see this is starting to get more and more coverage. Eventually he will end up destroying his own credibility. Just wonder if he will do this before he destroys the country?

Forced to Volunteer?

There is currently a bill that has passed the House. The "GIVE Act as it is affectionately known. You can read a summary here, or the full version here.

"...the bill's opponents...say it could cram ideology down the throats of young "volunteers," many of whom could be forced into service since the bill creates a "Congressional Commission on Civic Service. The bipartisan commission will be tasked with exploring a number of topics, including "whether a workable, fair and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the nation." [link]

Now don't get me wrong, I feel that if you want to give back to your community that is a wonderful thing. By all means go ahead and do what you feel you must do. The part that concerns me at this point (aside from the cost) is the mandatory service requirement. This has not been fully hashed out yet, but it could be a possibility. The main problem with this requirement is a little thing called the 13th Amendment. You know the one that abolished slavery and states: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

That part about involuntary servitude is a real deal killer there, or should be. Of course when you have an administration and a congress that don't give one damn about the United States Constitution who knows what they will enact or force the American people to do.

Check Your Trees

"The Federal Reserve sharply stepped up its efforts to bolster the economy on Wednesday, announcing that it would pump an extra $1 trillion into the financial system by purchasing Treasury bonds and mortgage securities...The action makes the Fed a buyer of long-term government bonds rather than the short-term debt that it typically buys and sells to help control the money supply." [link]

Does anyone else wonder where this money comes from? If any of you out there have money trees in your yards, or on your property, I would advise checking them daily. I think the Fed might be using civilian money trees to tinker with the economy.

Obama Received "Bonus" From AIG and Other Oddities

"Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are - Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama." [link]

I almost have to believe that someone is making all this up and we are all just part of a really big parody skit. There are some other clues out there that point to Obama being one of the best comedians ever. I mean anyone who gets praise for being such a wonderful orator and then thanks himself in a speech due to a teleprompter mistake... Or speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi posting very odd and out there videos on youtube. No seriously she posted a video about her and two cats on capital hill. I could not watch it all, very strange to say the least.

And He Claims He "Supports" the 2nd Amendment

"...Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology. The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots...Pilots cannot openly speak about the changing policies for fear of retaliation from the Transportation Security Administration. Pilots who act in any way that causes a “loss of confidence” in the armed pilot program risk criminal prosecution as well as their removal from the program." [link]

All this coming from the man who supposedly "supports the 2nd Amendment". We can see even more attacks against our freedoms if we only look. How about this: "...renewing and making permanent the ban on so-called “assault weapons...", or even this, "Department of Defense has decided to no longer sell empty, once-fired cartridge cases as surplus to companies that polish and reload those empties... If you can’t ban the gun, dry up the ammunition supply. That seems to be the popular theory about what is behind this change of policy. My colleague, David Codrea, also weighs in on this controversy here." [link] **

Yes, make no mistake about it, our rights are coming under attack, and not just our firearms rights but nearly every other right we hold sacred and cherish. Keep visiting here or go back and read some of my archived posts. Visit the links I have up, visit the blogs I read, you will see a picture forming that there is in fact an outright assault on our rights. Now is the time to start pushing back.

**You can rest a small bit, but now long. Word has just come in that the DOD has rescinded their orders to scrap once fired brass. Seems like quite a few freedom lovers and 2nd Amendment supporters got the word out and started rattling the right chains loud enough.

Label Me a "Terrorist"!

Yep you read that right. According to a new report by a "government agency" I am now a terrorist. I guess considering what they say though, I should wear this label proudly, and I guess I will. Read the report. If you are interested in becoming a "terrorist" yourself follow some of the guidelines in this report as well as visiting and promoting the following sites, and videos. For the videos you can click on this or on this one. Pretty sure both with get you labeled. Also make sure that you buy merchandise and support the views put forth by these videos and the report mentioned at first.

Also visit these sites and be active/contribute and you can guarantee that the powers that be will notice you: the Libertarian Party website, one of Ron Paul's sites, and Chuck Baldwin's, Constitution Party's website.

Also, visit all the blogs on my blog roll. They are all freedom lovers and are no doubt labeled as "terrorist". And since I am at it, I might as well add some images to really set me apart from the rest of the "terrorists", you can click on the images for their history.

My Individual Protest, or Bottling Day

Several weeks ago I wrote a piece about the small everyday things a person can do on an individual basis to "thumb their nose" at government. In this post I talked about legal ways to keep from paying certain taxes. One of the things I discussed was making your own beer or wine to keep from having to pay "sin taxes" on alcohol.

Well I have made a pledge to myself that I will no longer buy any form of taxed alcohol after Kentucky's new alcohol tax goes into effect. Several weeks ago I bought a beer making kit and all the necessary tools to go along with being able to set up home brewing for personal enjoyment. Today will be the day I bottle my first batch of beer. If all goes well, not only will I have "thumbed my nose" at government and refused them some of my hard earned money, but I will also have picked up a new, enjoyable hobby.

I urge each and everyone of you to find some small way to make a difference yourself. Very rarely in human history have vast changes come quickly. More often than not the changes come very slowly and over a period of time. Start doing your part to erode what authority you can however you can.*

*I do not recommend that anyone do anything illegal to do this, there are plenty of ways to subvert authority and government in perfectly legal ways. All you have to do is have a little imagination and determination.

What is Freedom?

Recently I have had several emails asking me to define just what I mean by freedom. At first I thought this to be a joke or an attempt to lure me into some sort of philosophical argument. However I discovered it to be neither upon replying to those emails. It seems there is quite a bit of confusion about what freedom is and what it entails, so I thought I would post a blog piece about my view(s) of freedom in order to clear up the confusion.

First off it would probably be easiest if I gave a definition of freedom. I found the following to be to my liking: the right to do what you want without being controlled or restricted by anyone. I would like to add that here it is important to note that the "anyone" does not necessarily mean an individual, but can also refer to and entity such as a government agency, or the government itself.

Here is where some people start to get confused. On taking this definition literally it means that I have the right to: take, hit, steal, etc... from anyone, that is not necessarily correct and I will explain. As a human I have the freedom to make those choices if I so choose (it does not mean they are the right or the correct choice). However I must be ready to assume any and all responsibilities/consequences that come my way as well for acting in such a manner.

Freedom as defined by myself and quite a few freedom loving folk around the world quite simply is allowing us to do what we please with our lives, as we see fit, when we see fit, without any outside interference; so long as we do not infringe on the rights/freedoms of others. That last part is very key to our philosophy as a whole. We would not be very good proponents of freedom if we tried to force our will onto others, however we will not stand for others forcing their will upon us either. This may sound confusing, and sometimes at first it is. However you can look at it this way any attempt to subvert, destroy, or limit our freedoms is taken as a sign of force and will/could be met with force itself.

Simply put we/I do not care if you only want to wear one sock and one shoe to work, with a necktie around your arm, and have four or five spouses. That is completely your business, it does not harm us in any way. However attempt to tell us that we cannot own firearms, brew our own beer, drive our gas guzzling SUV's and you will be put in your place quickly.

Freedom is not easy and not for the faint of heart. With freedom comes incredible responsibility and self reliance. However there are great rewards in being truly free and rewards that we feel are worth fighting for. We will not give up our fight for freedom. True freedom that is, not this pseudo-freedom that is plastered across America right now. True freedom would be to repeal all income taxes, repeal nearly every single gun law ever written (quite possibly the only true gun law should be the one that makes it illegal for violent criminals to own guns, and the strict law that enforces it), stop the war on drugs (didn't prohibition teach anyone anything), and follow the Constitution of the United States to the letter.
