Busy Getting Ready?

I mentioned that I went to the range the other day (and shot the crap out of a Zombie...)

One of the other things I did there was inquire about holding classes there for new shooters.

I was thinking that now that I have passed Directing of the political group to my successor, I'd like to do a little more in my "survivor/preparation/remnant" mode for those interested.

I was thinking I'd use one of the "slow" evenings at the range to bring in 3-5 interested people for a short course of regularly scheduled classes.

My old habit, before I interrupted it to get so intensely involved in political stuff was to go to the range every Wednesday right after work...where it was relatively quiet, and I could plan to meet with friends, and we could all expect to shoot without delay.

However, there were not even two contiguous lanes available last Wednesday...and the boys at the range told me that has become the norm....there ARE no "quiet nights" anymore!

No quiet nights at the gun range. No lull in the parade of people coming to sharpen their pistol skills.


"Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?"


So Mr. Everyday American may not be talking about resistance out loud. But a lot of Mr. Everyday Americans seem to be interested in making sure they can hit what they're shooting at.

With. Guns. They. Own.

In. The. San Francisco. Bay. Area.

Just the sort of tangible evidence of people preparing not to be sheep that is guaranteed to give me real hope!

Is There Hope of a Peaceful Solution?

The writer's name is "Gunny G." It's not me. But considering what he says, he might as well be!! It's in the "Anti-Liberal Zone" *fist pump* , and it's called Is Revolution a Foregone Conclusion?

A Republican government’s main duty is to protect the individual’s right to life, liberty, their private property, and of course, the pursuit of happiness. In this area our current government gets an “F”. Our fellow Americans are being murdered, robbed, pillaged, etc, by illegal aliens and they do nothing. No, they actually DO do something, they write in ObamaKare that WE have to PAY for their health care, thus guaranteeing MORE illegals on the way! Our federal government has become something ugly, corrupt, and tyrannical. They seek to rule over us and this is not only wrong but criminal. They refuse to reform social security, they refuse to prosecute tax evaders like Rangel, Solis, Ghietner, and instead, put them into positions of power. They refuse to implement tort reform. They refuse to allow competition across state lines for health insurance carriers. They refuse to follow the Second Amendment and force us to SUE THEM for our rights! They refuse to follow their oaths of office and that is simply despicable

It gets better...

H.C. Posted this:

I woke up today and was thankful.
Birds (!!!), bugs, squirrels, frogs, fish, sun, trees...all kinds of life around us.
My gardens have had enough rain and look great.
The entire family is healthy.
We have an adequate roof over our heads
and clothes in our closets.
There is good food in the house for us and our pets.
Our 2 vehicles are working great.
Debts are slowly being paid off.
I still speak without fear...as of today.
I can still act as a patriot...as of today.
I still have the rights of a legal American citizen...as of today.
I can still worship my God any way I choose...as of today.
This is my American life.
This is only some of what has been fought and died for.
I refuse to give it away.
I will stand up for it now.
I will bleed for it if I have to.
I will help save it for my daughter who sits next to me.
I will stand up for it so others can have the same.

Answering Anon's Question

Anon left a comment, asking what my thoughts were on the possibility of secession. Those who read this blog regularly, will know that I've written on the subject before, and at some length. But I'd like to take this opportunity to revisit it for Anon...and others who perhaps haven't heard my point of view...I'll be brief.

The difference between any historical "then" and now, is that we've never faced anything like what's going on in our nation today. Ever.

We have a "President" who has every intention of transforming America from the land of the free and the home of the brave, from a marketplace of capitalists and individualists into another failed prison of a "people's paradise"...with a side of racism.

Barack Øbama is a fascist racist. He seeks to control finance, business, medicine, energy and every possible aspect of our lives, because he, the great "enlightened one", knows better.

He is the President of the United States and he despises our heritage, our history, our founding documents, our form of government, our liberty, our rights...and if we're white...us.

He is the President of the United States, the most powerful man on earth... and he is a Progressive/Marxist/Fasist/Racist Revolutionary who believes that it is the right of the "Elite", of which he is a member, to RULE the "common people" who are too stupid to have the right to make decisions about their own lives, because they often make ones not in accord with the wishes of that same elite who....Know Better.

Barack Obama and his coterie are evil. They are literally the Dark Lord's minions. They serve the Lord of the Flies. They are Loki's servants. They are tools of the Devil. (Take your choice).

We face the most dangerous time in our country. If we are not alert, if we don't fight, if we don't resist, if we don't decide to risk it all for liberty, he will literally make us into a Banana Republic, just like his buddy, Hugo Chavez, has done to Venezuela - a formerly thriving democracy.

In light of this, secession is not a very radical solution.

I believe that if we don't stop Øbama's agenda, change the balance of power in 2010, make him a lame duck before the end of this year, and boot him out of office under a cloud in 2012...it will end in blood—unless—those of us who refuse to become serfs of an Imperial State are allowed to separate ourselves from the Brave New World Øbama is creating.

There are people who are unwilling to face the reality of this man's depth of evil. It's almost impossible to conceive that this sort of thing could be happening here in America. But if you were listening, and if you are paying attention, there is no other explanation that fits the facts.

To ruin the free market, to ruin health care, to increase debt, to increase unemployment, to increase external dangers from Iran/China/North Korea, to increase taxes during a recession, to pit blacks against whites, the poor against the "rich", the worker against his employer...these are intentional actions—meant to create fear, hate and chaos. They're meant to divide us so that we are easier to conquer.

They can be no other explanation for anyone with even a modicum of common sense, because, none of his programs can possibly do what he pretends they are meant to do. You can't fix debt by spending, you can't encourage competition & excellence & prosperity by bailing out failures, you can't ensure good health by rationing medicine, you can't help the economy by raising taxes, and you can't get people working by destroying businesses and employers.

Even Øbama is not that stupid. This is an intense, serious, prolonged, assault on the security and the prosperity of our nation and its people. Happy, safe and wealthy people don't generally embrace dictators. But frightened, insecure, miserable, sick, hopeless people are much more likely to.

But, it is my belief that no matter how bad things get, there are sections of this country, and citizens everywhere who will not go gently into that good night.

I am one.

As I see it, these are the options:

Option 1)
We stop Øbama and his fascist brownshirts and dismantle the Imperial State (which has been growing while we wolves have been sleeping like sheep - for decades)

Option 2)
We don't stop them and they destroy our Republic and institute a Marxist/Fascist "people's paradise" and they allow those people who resist to leave to secede peacefully and found a separate New America.

Option 3)
We don't stop them and they destroy our Republic and institute a Marxist/Fascist "people's paradise" and they don't allow us to leave peacefully. In which case either a) we fight our way out of his totalitarian state and found a separate, New America; or b) we take the fight to Washington in an actual Second American Revolution and drain the entire Swamp of Vipers.

Restoration, Secession or Revolution. Those are our only options...because government of the people, by the people and for the people is on the brink of perishing from the earth.

I don't how it will come down. I don't know who will make the first move. I don't know which section of the country will finally have had enough. But, because I believe in the American Spirit, I know it will happen if it must. Where will that second shot "heard round the world" ring out?

It might be at my house if they come to take my guns. It might be when they outlaw Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. It might be when they seize your house. It might be when they force a union on employees who don't want one. It might be when the National Guard, or that Marine refuses to fire on fellow citizens or enforce unjust laws. It might be when local police refuse to confiscate guns.

But American Citizens will make a stand. The only question is, will it be peaceful or otherwise.

That's why it's so important we do what we can do NOW, while peace still has a chance. It's by far, the best option. Resistance doesn't necessarily imply violence. And it is definitely time for resistence!

(Okay, so I wasn't "brief"...sue me.)

Timothy Baldwin Writes on the 912 Project site:

Thus, the issue is not who is Sovereign, because we know that We the People are sovereign in the US and that the Sovereigns of each State have never ceded to the Federal government any power not expressly granted to it by the Compact (the US Constitution). But rather, the issue is one of JURISDICTION: in other words, who has the power to act on behalf of and in compliance with the Sovereign? The issue of jurisdiction is so important because it acknowledges that since the Sovereign has "paramount authority" in government, any powers that are granted from the Sovereign to government are to remain within that grant of authority.

Put another way, the States can no more grant authority to the Federal government against the will of the Sovereign--the people--than the Executive branch of the Federal government can give to the Judiciary branch the powers that we the people granted to it alone. To deny that such a grant exists or conversely to ignore the limitations placed on the governments by the Sovereign is to suggest that tyranny is a lawful act and that it must be complied with. America's founders would have considered such a political theory to be treasonous. Do we the people think so seriously of the matter? According to recent events, the answer to this question will likely be answered sooner than later.

Beware the Sheeps' Fangs...

Naturally, all generalities have exceptions.

And I must admit, my insistence that we THROW ALL THE BUMS out of Congress will negatively affect some whom we would rather keep.

Here is one of those...at least insofar as he proposed this: Congressmen Who Vote for Government-Run Health Care Agency Should Be Its First Customers

Hard not to love a guy who gets it.

CNSNews.com) – Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) introduced a bill Monday that urges members of Congress who vote to create a government-run health insurance agency to give up their own comprehensive health insurance plans to join the new the public option they advocate for others.

The bill, H. Res. 615, says members of Congress who vote for a government-run health care bureau should become the inaugural customers of government-run health-care.

“That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that Members who vote in favor of the establishment of a public, federal government run health insurance option are urged to forgo their right to participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and agree to enroll under that public option,” the resolution reads.

Fleming said he offered the non-binding resolution after he found out that under both the House and Senate proposals, members of Congress and other federal government employees will not have to participate in the planned health insurance exchanges for at least five years.

After five years, they still do not have to participate in the exchanges if they do not want to, while every other American must have a plan that conforms to the government’s rules, Fleming added.

Of course, this good man cannot be allowed to stop our campaign to clean out the Vipers, by voting EVERY INCUMBENT OUT of Congress. The very nature of the outrage that Fleming is protesting proves beyond doubt that they have to be purged.

After we teach them a lesson, we can return the good ones to office, having taught them all that they actually do work for us — and that those words are not just a rhetorical convention used to placate the slumbering sheep.

Among what politicians believe is a meek and sleepy herd of sheep, it turns out there is a pack of ravenous wolves...who are on their scent.

And We Are Coming!

We Are Not Laughing

Democratic Leader Laughs at Idea That House Members Would Actually Read Health-Care Bill Before Voting On It

I don't care who you are. I don't care what side you're on. I don't care what planet you're from, or what snakes you handle to honor your gods...this is not okay.

It isn't irritating or annoying, or outrageous. It's unthinkable. It's oath-breaking. It should be actionable.
It should be treason. It should carry the death sentence.

And this cocksucker is laughing about it.

How is it possible that people entrusted with the faith of their fellows, and charged with the defense and protection of the Constitution, can so disrespect both to the extent that they would willy-nilly pass bills that will profoundly affect the citizens and the nation, without even knowing what they are committing them to?

They are passing LAWS; laws to be enforced by the violence of the State if they are disobeyed. They are creating laws and regulations that could cost people their freedom, their fortunes, their lives, their livelihoods, and they can't be bothered to know what they are?

This Congress is changing America from a Republic of Free Citizens to a nation of Serfs ruled by an Imperial State...and publicly jokes about its ignorance of the documents that are effecting this destruction, and establishing this slavery?

I am not laughing. Indeed, I am uncharacteristically quiet. I am beyond rage and raving.

This is deadly, silent fury.

It is impossible that Free Men should tolerate this.

Hercules had to clean out the Augean stables. It was a big dirty job. But not bigger and dirtier than cleaning out Congress. It's time to drain the shit-hole that is Congress (and the entire Federal Government) and restore our Republic...

Can I Make a Suggestion?

Every time the GOP hits you up for money, say "Sorry, NO", and tell them you will donate to SARAH PAC instead, and "thanks for the reminder, I haven't send this month's donation in yet!"

And tell them you'll be working to get every Republican...as well as every Democrat incumbent thrown out of office in 2010, because the Republicans are just as arrogant, distant, corrupt and Imperial as the vile Democrats. And because they're more worried about their jobs and their popularity in the DC Swamp than they are about their constituents or their country.

Tell them we're sick to death of spineless pseudo-conservatives, who talk the talk on the campaign, but don't walk the walk when the chips are down.

Tell them we're not fucking moderates and we won't support Democrat-Lite masquerading as "Republicans". I'm looking at YOU Newt Gingrich and John McCAin! And I mean, is ANYONE less exciting that Mitt Romney? By all means, let's have another Bob Dole moment.

And that until they purge the party of Progressives, they can count us, and our support, and our votes, OUT!

Remember, the latest hit piece on Sarah Palin, in Vanity Fair, was fueled by John McCain's campaign.

As a reader at American Thinker opined:

"...how long before the CONSERVATIVE CANNIBALS come crawling out of the woodwork in force? Those who call themselves Conservatives, those who tell you how much they respect Sarah Palin, and those who then drag out a laundry list as long as their arm telling you all the many reasons why she's a worthless, ignorant pile of trash?

Beware. With "friends" like this, we don't need enemies.

Let's not be battered Republicans, staying with an abusive party who we keep hoping will change if we just "love" them enough!

Sarah Palin has now been 'vetted' as thoroughly than any politician in recent memory; maybe more so than Hilary? Obama has not had one item of his considerable baggage looked at. The Vanity Fair article was the final inoculation to Sarah's poli-immune system.

She is now freed up to be a conservative guided missile aimed at the weak, pasty, fat liberal underbelly. This is gonna be a lot of fun seeing Sarah do the circuit blowing up all the Obamacrat pretense as she goes along.

The leftards will certainly not lay down and roll over, they will fight more visciously than ever. So pass the popcorn and "Lets get ready to rrummmble"!

This is a comment on the American Thinker post: Sarah Palin Breaks the Mold Again.

No matter what she does, she will be a star. The Slobbering Cult Media and the oily Progressives have tried to destroy the Beauteous Sarah, and have failed, in spite of their wishful thinking.

Note that she says she will be helping and campaigning for "good" people, no matter what party they belong to.

I endorse it!

Hey Congress - You're Fired!

You Can Take Action NOW!

As voters, we face a prodigious challenge in the coming elections. The challenge itself has been with us for decades, and for decades we have failed to step up to it. Yes, the blame for the failed policies of the past lies squarely on the shoulders of the American voter – not George Bush. Likewise, the failed policies of the future (now being formulated in Washington by the Obama coalition as a doubling down on the failed policies of the past) are directly the responsibility of - yes - the American voter.

How, with the best of intentions, have we gone wrong? Certainly we can point to having been hornswaggled by politicians and special interests, but we are a self-reliant people and most of us are not inclined to blame others for our own mistakes. We must examine our failed voting policies of the past and correct them. And we must do it before the next general election. Most of us are truly frightened by what is happening in Washington D.C. There is no time to waste.

The Lesser of Two Evils voting policy: This is the excuse we use when voting for borderline (or outright) criminals for public office. This rationale generally favors the incumbent as “the devil we know” vs. “the devil we don’t know”. This voter policy is directly responsible for negative campaign advertising. Voters almost universally don’t approve of negative campaign advertising BUT IT STILL WORKS. It works because it succeeds in planting the notion of greater evil about one or another candidate and political operatives know we will select the lesser of two evils. So long as this voter policy is in place the political operatives will be able to outmaneuver us. The major failure of this policy is that it promotes incumbency (the devil we know). Incumbency fosters the proliferation of unholy networks of public servants, lobbyists and political operatives (the parties) within which favors are done by the public servants and favors are paid for by the special interests. These are subtle exchanges, usually unlikely to be prosecutable in a court of law. If no politician could serve even a second term, these networks would deteriorate, there not being sufficient time to form them into stable, robust cabals.

The Straight Ticket voting policy: This policy simply applies the “Lesser of Two Evils” policy to slates of party candidates. Voters who tend to favor the Democrat platform vote for Democrats and vice versa. Because the voter now only has to make one decision, rather than many, it is a much more efficient path to political Armageddon. Similar to negative campaign advertising, this policy leads to a continual demonization war each party against the other. We now have rancorous political rhetoric bombarding us every day even when there are no elections in process. The consequence of this voting policy is incumbency squared. The parties are the promoters and the facilitators of the unholy networks within which wealth is transferred from special interests to politicians and, through legislation passed by the politicians, from the American voters to the special interests (guess who makes a profit on this). Parties almost always renominate an incumbent, so this voting policy practically guarantees high levels of long-term incumbency.

The question is, “Can we formulate a voting policy to break this cycle of voter failure?”. The answer is certainly “Yes” (else we are certainly doomed). Term limits you say? That is not a voting policy. That is an appeal to the legislature to pass a law to save us from ourselves. How pathetic is that? Not to mention the impracticality of it. Do you expect the U.S. Congress to ever pass a law that would derail it's gravy train? The unholy networks have been enormously profitable for most members of congress; and, although many of them will say they support term limits, the legislation itself will never, ever happen.

The Reboot Congress Voting policy: Just a few weeks before the election of 2008, Congressional approval hit an all time low of around 12%. One would therefore expect the reelection rate for sitting congressmen in 2008 to have been quite low, but in fact it turned out to be 94%! The last time the congressional reelection rate was below 94% was 1994. The lowest reelection rate in the last 50 years was in 1970 – 85%. Maybe we just love to hate these folks. In any case we have consistently empowered them to take advantage of us.

“And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable pre-eminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters? It will not be the wise and moderate, the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your government, and be your rulers. And these, too, will be mistaken in the expected happiness of their situation, for their vanquished competitors, of the same spirit, and from the same motives, will perpetually be endeavoring to distress their administration, thwart their measures, and render them odious to the people.” Benjamin Franklin

We MUST say to these people, loudly and clearly, “You're fired!”. The successful voting policy is easy to implement. It requires no research, no soul searching. All the information needed to do it is printed right on the ballot. Simply do not check the box for an incumbent. If by this policy the American voter can limit Congress to a reelection rate of 75% in 2010, that will be enough to shatter the confidence of Washington D.C. And it will reverberate throughout the country at every level of government. If we can achieve a reelection rate less than 50%, that will be total victory. Yes, if we follow this policy, we're going to elect some scoundrel challengers who may be worse than the deposed incumbents, but they will know they are likely to be one-termers if they don't win our approval. Ultimately of course, we will have to adopt a different policy we'll call “the greater of two goods” - the sooner the better. But for now, as voters, we need to take drastic action.

YOU CAN TAKE ACTION NOW by clicking here and notifying your congressman of his/her term limit.

With Progressives, it Never, Ever Ends

I'd say you're not going to believe this. But you will:

Now Congress is moving to limit the penalties on riskier borrowers, who have become a prime source of billions of dollars in fee revenue for the industry. And to make up for lost income, the card companies are going after those people with sterling credit.

Banks are expected to look at reviving annual fees, curtailing cash-back and other rewards programs and charging interest immediately on a purchase instead of allowing a grace period of weeks, according to bank officials and trade groups.

“It will be a different business,” said Edward L. Yingling, the chief executive of the American Bankers Association, which has been lobbying Congress for more lenient legislation on behalf of the nation’s biggest banks. “Those that manage their credit well will in some degree subsidize those that have credit problems.”

Press Release from Tea Party Patriots

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tea Party Patriots

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and others owe 1.2 Million Tea Party Patriots an Apology.

The American people deserve better from their Elected Representatives and are beginning to demand It.

Among the political class it has apparently become acceptable, and even fashionable, for American politicians from the President on down to mock the citizens they represent. In a development that can only further denigrate the discourse necessary to any effective democracy, politicians and the "serious" news media are now mocking citizens regularly and with impunity. Supported by mainstream journalists on MSNBC and CNN, who themselves use sexual slurs on national television to mock and attack the same citizens, the politicians openly demonstrate their feelings of superiority over those they were elected to represent. They now candidly express their disdain of a significant portion of the American population without the threat of reprisal by the mainstream media.

On the morning of the April 15th Tea Parties, the American public was informed on national news by one of the President's economic advisers, Jared Bernstein, that the President was "unaware" of the Tea Parties taking place in over 850 cities across the nation! On April 29th, the President informed a Town Hall meeting in St. Louis that he had just now become aware of the Tea Parties, but only from "certain news channels on which I'm not very popular." He referred disdainfully to the one million plus Patriots who came out in legitimate and constitutionally protected demonstrations of free speech on April 15th as "folks waving tea bags around..." While he collects royalties (last year about $2.6 million) from his books, "The Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams From My Father", the President has the audacity to imply that we the people have nothing legitimate to say about high taxes, wasteful spending and corporate bailouts. The President also seems to believe that it is appropriate to mock millions of Americans who are expressing their opinions publicly in a peaceful manner. Perhaps he feels that by mocking the Tea Parties and the Patriots who attended, that he can marginalizes them. But we know that real Patriots cannot be marginalized, and that they will continue to make their voices heard in ever greater numbers," says Elsie Gufler , San Mateo County Tea Party Coordinator and Tea Party Patriots National Leadership Council Member.[*]

This sort of condescending approach to the Grassroots is a hallmark of politicians all across this land. We, the Grassroots are mocked by the President as "folks waving tea bags around"! Discussion of our legitimate complaints and concerns is avoided through the use of derogatory and condescending rhetoric. We've heard similar rhetoric from the Speaker Nancy Pelosi who says the Tea Parties are an "Astroturf initiative," and "contrived events backed by those who like tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans." Rep. Jan Schakowsky (IL), called people who attended the Tea Parties "despicable" and "shameful," "corporate interests" and said the events were created by "Republican lobbyists and politicians". At every level, the President and the majority of politicians nationally refuse to discuss the issues head on, and refuse to acknowledge the fact that a huge, non-partisan, Grassroots movement has coalesced around limited government, fiscal responsibility and lower taxes. As politicians, they are simply interested only in taking and spending more and more of our money, and in leaving our children to inherit the burdens of their excess. They mock, deride and oppose anyone who objects to what they are doing!

At this time, the President, and all other politicians who demeaned the protestors, Speaker Pelosi (CA), and Rep. Schakowsky (IL) included, owe 1.2 million Patriots an apology. If our politicians are truly interested in dialogue with the people they claim to represent, such a dialogue must begin with respect for the citizens of this country. That show of respect will begin when the politicians acknowledge that mocking and demeaning well-intentioned, peaceful Tea Party Patriots who love their country is the height of arrogance, and a terrible mistake. The American people deserve better from their elected representatives, and they are beginning to demand it!

*Elsie is the organizer I worked with on the San Mateo County Tea Party. You can see why I like her. We're planning the next one, scheduled for July 4th.

This is extremely important. Some refuse to believe that the Army would ever be used against the populace, but things have never been like they are today.

We face unprecedented threats from external and internal enemies, and all it will take is one big "incident" for this government to move to grab more power that has ever been even contemplated in our history (except Woodrow Wilson).

I know something is going on here that is very bad. I sound like a Militia Nut...and a conspiracy theorist, but I think the movement of this government for more and more power, the Treasury demanding power over private industry, the whipping up of the Mob at private citizens, the public extortion of them, the coordination of Parties-Unions-ACORN to put on a passion play to distract us from huge bungling and nation-changing actions being taken by Obama et al.

And importantly, the weakening of Posse Comitatus in the last years, and the Army being readied to "help" in national emergencies...

...this matters.

My Hero!

Citizen Activists

I went to an organizational meeting yesterday for a Tea Party to take place locally on April 15.

In the Leftist Paradise of the San Francisco Peninsula I expected to find three people huddling in a broom closet... in the dark.

But I was surprised by a very nice turnout of people anxious to "do something", who have "had it" and understand how bad things are, and and that if we don't do it, nobody will. The leader of the group told us that she was fielding calls all day in response to her posting info on the event. She's confident that there will be hundreds of people in attendance.

You can find info about Tax Day Tea Parties in your State here: Choose Your State

Most Americans are more conservative than Leftist...and if we just communicate with each other, and organize ourselves, we'll be the biggest "special interest group" in the country—but we can't just sit around and bitch [damnit!] we have to do the work.

I'm not a joiner and I'm not a big activist, but if we're going to save our country, I'm going to have to do it anyway. The Founders dedicated their lives to bring America into existence, and many since have given their lives for its defense and survival. Whether I like it or not, whether I'd rather be doing it or not, it's my (our) turn to do whatever it takes to make sure we don't let this wonder of history, the noble American Experiment perish from the earth.
