Second Amendment

Today the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) is hearing argument on the scope of the second amendment to the US Constituion. At issue is whether the amendment protects an individual right without restriction or whether it protects a collective right of the state. Although plain language, plain reading, and consistency with the rest of the constitution requires an interpretation that anyone but a Democrat or a Lobbyist can deduce, we note that the version of the amendment used ion all the news coverage is incorrectly reproduced:

To wit:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”. This rendering does not even make grammatic sense and is relied upon by opponents of the individual rights theory.

The correct rendering, taken from the Bill of Rights in the National Archives, is as follows:

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

Very plain.

DId OBL Win?

We face a unique situation in American history - to wit: Bib Laden attacked us in an attempt to destroy the US based on our infidelness. Afterwards, we have traded our liberties and our defense to a repressive state organization (sound familiar) and he now has a hundred thousand United States citizens and our children treated like inmates? We are pushed around in every conceivable manner by state organs (and Democrats) at least as repressive as the Taliban.

He has made his point.

Election Absurdity

The most apalling aspect about the upcoming election in November is that there should be a contest at all.

No one I ever speak to has any patience for the other side, let alone the commitment to vote for it.

According to polls, there are a lot of people out there who have evidently never read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the "Federalist Papers," or "Democracy in America," yet every one of them has a vote that is just as good as yours.

The Constitution

"The Tenth Amendment is not to be left up to the federal government to interpret for itself. The essence of our Constitution is that power must not be allowed to define its own limits."

Doctor Clyde Wilson

Ethics in the News

Another Public Official (D) is going down in flames. After campaigning on “ethics”.

Now he is trying to back and fill and kick up dust and avoid resignation.

Within 48 hours the Senate Republicans will call on the State Speaker to commence impeachment if he does not resign.

We believe that we are about to see a gubernatorial impeachment in New York….

For the (R) side, let's review the Larry Craig situation.

He denies being gay. Yet he was charged with soliciting gay sex in a bathroom and pled guilty to a lesser included charge in order to avoid a scandal – he claims in a moment of stress.

The hidden facts are that he was the person who spearheaded the move (later derailed by democrats) to bring Janet Reno, FBI, and ATF to accounts for Waco.

Reasonable doubt? Perhaps they finally found a way to frame him and ruin him? Who can say for sure?

The Proper Candidate

When Andrew Johnson ran for the Senate in 1855 he heard that his life had been threatened at an upcoming appearance. When he took the podium he pulled out a pistol and laid it on the table in front of him. "Fellow citizens," he said, "I have been informed that part of the business to be transacted on the present occasion is the assassination of the individual who now has the honor of addressing you. I beg respectfully to propose that this be the first business in order. Therefore, if any man has come here tonight for the purpose indicated, I do not say to him, let him speak, but let him shoot." In those days we elected a higher type of man.

A quote timely once again...

"Watching the unfolding political debate, it occurs to me that liberals feel the same way about truth that Dracula feels about sunlight."
