First Responders

There seems to be some confusion about the role of "First Responders" and what they actually do.

First Responders are:

Police
Firemen
Medics

Responders come to the scene after a disaster.

They do not PREVENT disasters.

The confusion arises from the common motto of Police Departments: "To Protect and Serve". Regular folks expect the police to "Protect" them....in what might be called a "Pro-Active" way; when, in fact, the role of the police is almost entirely "Re-Active", responding to something that's already happened.

See, it's right there in the name: "RESPONDERS".

Responders respond, Protectors protect, the responders show up after there are dead people.

What people expect of the police is actually the mission of a Security Team: to prevent disasters.

Some rich people, famous people, important people, elected people have security teams.

Regular folks don't. It's up to each of us to be our own "Security Team".

And that's just what Øbama and the progs will prevent us from doing if they can get their way.

Just look at what they're doing to the military recruiters....

Quote of the Day

"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed; where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. Few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once!"

WTF Did He Say?

I'm not sure I have the words to describe the profoundly deep level of idiocy this pencil-neck represents.

California Police Chief says, "A Gun is not a Defensive Weapon".

One is almost rendered speechless. 

And some people actually doubt that Liberalism is a Mental Disorder....

"The trick question the Progressives will be posing at the SOTU speech: How many children must die before you will lay your guns and your freedom at Obama's feet?"

That's some powerful rhetoric, right there! Damn, that's good. I think this perfectly framed question should go viral!

What's in a Name

I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed by the onslaught of evil raining down on us from Øbama's essentially illegal government.

I literally can't figure out what to do because I am being punched from so many directions I can't catch my breath or clear my head enough to get my bearings.

Every single thing the Imperial State does needs to be fought, addressed, resisted, exposed.

How the fuck do we keep up with all that?

How do we not get drowned in the torrent?

 I'm pretty smart. But I like things simple. And the current confusion has been making me crazy, ineffective, crippled, brain-locked.

(okay, quitting smoking might have had something to do with it, but it's been over 2 and a half years now....I think I need to move on from THAT excuse!)

Anyway, I think I've found my way.

When I tell you, you're going to say...."well, duh, GUNSLINGER!"

Yeah...it's the Second Amendment.

It's the one that guarantees the rest—that in fact guarantees liberty. And at ALL costs, we need to keep our guns—all of them—our ammo, our right to defend ourselves against an out-of-control government—you know, pretty much the one we have now.

I get that there's a lot more going on in the country than the Emperor and his minions trying to disarm us...but I just can't focus on it all, and trying to is making me frustrated and feeling like an inept & inadequate loser. I've gotta focus on the thing that seems most important to me. One thing that I can work on, and maybe actually make a difference.

And hope that others will specialize in other areas that need to be addressed.

Like the Industrial Revolution:   Division of Labor.

Hey, it's the best I got.
