Progressives Should Grow a Pair and stay out of Our Freedoms.




Funny how the Minority in this country along with the media try to make the Majority through political correctness feel guilty or try to make it seem that the majority is evil and somehow not normal anymore. 

 As well as  how they try and change the perception of the truth of the American way through the same use of political correctness.

 Progressives should grow a pair and stay out of our freedoms and get over it. 

The kindness of heart is one of the most taken advantage of things.  People by nature find it easy to just say Okay.  They do so with the hopes it will fade, go away or not effect them.  It doesn't and it will not.  It just gets you, a group or an idea taken advantage of. 

And that has brought our nation of the strong and independent down to its knees. 

We now bow before a nearly godless society of dependent people led by a group with a mind set that was never intended to be.  Kindness and love is one thing.  Kindness without accountability is yet a totally different destructive thing to those who are self reliant. 

Kindness and love is a helping hand and a understanding.  Kindness without accountability is a handout and enabling.

These are some good links to better understand the delusion of political correctness. 




Does anyone else remember George Orwell's "1984"? As I recall, it was the restructuring of the language that allowed the government to control the thoughts of the people. Speech codes seek to do the same thing; by removing certain words from our collective subsciousness, they seek to change our views towards certain segments of our population. While the goals might be admirable, the methods are not, and are by no means justified by the final goal.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, political correctness swept over this nation like a blanket of McCarthyism. New phrases were invented daily to replace the old judgmental and politically incorrect phrases that we had been using since the invention of the English language.

If you want to alter your speech habits in order to conform to your vision of political correctness, feel free. But, if you want to alter my speech habits to conform to your vision of what is and is not acceptable, then you have overstepped your authority. As a society, we should resist the temptation to do bad things for what we see as good reasons. We should not walk gleefully into the tyrannical abyss of speech and thought control. I certainly won't.

Are we free? Or ruled by a King

In our goverment, we have to have some sort of an agreement in order to create a law.  We are a republic that has been treated as a democracy.  That democracy through welfare is slowly becoming a socialist state with a touch of Constitutional Monarchy. 

The simplest idea of government is those who rule over people and land.  This could be a small community, village or continent.

SEVEN BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE CONSTITUTION

· Popular Sovereignty- the governments right to rule comes from the people
· Limited Government- the government has only the powers that the Constitution gives to it
· Separation of Power-the Constitution divides the government into three branches:

Congress-legislative branch makes laws

President-executive branch carries out the laws

Courts-judicial branch explains and interprets the laws

· Checks and Balances- each branch of government has the power to check or limit the actions of the other two
· Federalism-division of power between the federal government and the states.
· Republicanism- citizens elect representatives to carry out their will
· Individual rights-The Constitution protects individual rights such as freedom
  of speech, freedom religion etc

Civil liberties are about freedom. They determine what you as an individual are free to do, and what the government cannot do to infringe on your freedom. People often use the terms "civil rights" and "civil liberties" interchangeably, but they're somewhat different. Rights protect you from unfair treatment under the law. Your individual civil liberties are those - inalienable - liberties mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.

The Right to Life


Your right to life is more than a matter of waking in the morning and breathing. It involves making your own choices about how you're going to live. It means choosing a career that's right for you, not one the government has decided you should pursue. Your right to life lets you choose where you want to live and the freedom to live however you like. You can have children, or not have children, or have as many as you like. You can marry, or remain single. The right to life is about personal decisions.

The Right to Hold Property

Your right to hold property is an extension of your right to life. It doesn't mean the government has an obligation to give you property. It means that you have the right to earn income and then spend it however you want. Once you own something, the government can't in the normal course of events take it away from you. Some exceptions exist, such as if you file for bankruptcy or gain the property illegally.

The Right to Liberty

Liberty literally means freedom. Your constitutional civil liberty to freedom allows you to live your life free of government control. Of course, you have to pay taxes and obey laws. But the government can't force you to take certain actions against your will, in the interest of society at large. It can't tell you that you must vote a certain way. You have the right to make up your own mind about issues, including those that affect the whole country, not just yourself.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Your right to happiness overlaps your right to life in some respects. It gives you the freedom to pursue choices that give you pleasure, satisfaction, and self-fulfillment, as long as you don't break any laws in the process or hurt others. The government can't order you to live in a way you don't choose. It can't tell you that you must sacrifice your personal happiness for the good of your country.


FORMS OF GOV.
Democracy......... The most common in the Western world is called democracy. In democracies, all of the people in a country can vote during elections for representatives or political parties that they prefer. The people in democracies can elect representatives who will sit on legislatures such as the Parliament or Congress. Political parties are organizations of people with similar ideas about how a country or region should be governed. Different political parties have different ideas about how the government should handle different problems. Democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

 Monarchy............A monarchy is a government ruled by a king or a queen who inherits their position from their family, which is often called the "royal family." There are two types of monarchies: absolute monarchies and constitutional monarchies. In an absolute monarchy, the ruler has no limits on their wishes or powers. In a constitutional monarchy a ruler's powers are limited by a document called a constitution.

 Aristocracy............An aristocracy is a government by the "best" people. A person who rules in an aristocracy is an aristocrat. Aristocracy is different from nobility, in that nobility means that one bloodline would rule, an aristocracy would mean that a few or many bloodlines would rule, or that rulers be chosen in a different manner.

 Dictatorship...............Under a dictatorship, the government is run by one person who has all the power over the people in a country. Originally, the Roman Republic made dictators to lead during time of war. The Roman dictators (and Greek tyrants) were not always bad. The Roman dictators only held power for a small time. In modern times, a dictator's rule is not stopped by any laws, constitutions, or other social and political institutions. After World War II, many governments in Latin America, Asia, and Africa were ruled by dictators. Examples of dictators include Idi Amin, Muammar al-Qaddafi, and Gamal Abdul Nasser.

 Oligarchy............An oligarchy is a government ruled by a small group of powerful people. These people may spread power equally or not equally. An oligarchy is different from a true democracy because very few people are given the chance to change things. An oligarchy does not have to be hereditary or passed down from father to son. An oligarchy does not have one clear ruler, but several powerful people. Some past examples of oligarchy are the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Apartheid South Africa. A fictional example is the dystopian society of Oceania displayed in the book Nineteen Eighty-Four. Some critics of representative democracy think of the United States as an oligarchy. This view is shared by anarchists.

HORSES AND BAYONETS

Troops DO need horses and bayonet's

Last night without Romney even mentioning horses or bayonet's, the pres mocked Romy's complaint about the size of the Navy fleet by comparing ship numbers to horses and bayonets.

The Presidents mocking comment threw the spotlight on fighting techniques-because both bayonets and horses have remained important parts of U.S. Military right up to the present day.

Bayonets are still an integral item of military equipment.  Bayonet instruction remains part of basic training for Marines and was part of Army training till 2010.  At which point the Army now calls Correct use of a knife, but does not disuse the fixing of bayonets.

The military is equipped for a knife fight and when on the ground, in buildings and in close combat. It is important and saves lives. 

Four years ago, a British soldier won the Military Cross after using his bayonet to kill a Taliban militant, having ordered his platoon to affix bayonets. 

Horses are less important to modern methods of fighting, but have not been phased out.


In 2001 the first U.S. troops to enter Afghanistan did so by riding into the country alongside America's allies in the Northern Alliance. 

For many members of the special operations teams the remote desert landscape did not allow them to use more common methods of transport. 

All you have to do is read the books our soldiers have written, the accounts of battles, and you'll visit first hand how important these to items in our inventory truly are. 

Despite what might have been suggested through mocking, both are still used as tools of battle and allow our troops to survive, fight and live to this day so they can come home to their families.

Something is Wrong.......This is not America

People are messed up with there thinking.....

You know, I'm dumb founded.  Have been for a few years now.  It seems like everything that is normal is wrong, everything that is right is now a sin and people are complaining about their on lazyness.

I often wonder why people don't love this place we live as being blessed to do so and thankful of our founders for establishing a land of liberty not found in the rest of the world.  I believe it's because we have become ungrateful, spoiled children that thinks we are owed everything

When this country was founded, if you ate you grew it. If you you had shelter, you built it. If you were in danger, you protected your self.  You had communities that would trade with each other the things you needed.  If someone was hurt, sick or disabled, that community would help out.  People came together under a common cause and depended on each other and what they deemed was their god. 

Today, we have become spoiled.  We do not depend on our selves but gladly take from those who do.  At one point in history this was called lazy, deadbeat, and shameful.  Today, it's called social justise. 

When a gov taxes people that work and work hard to build their dreams because they have the freedom to do so, and then they have it or at very least a large part of it taken away through taxes to give cell phones, food, shelter, ect and ect. to those that just sit back and complain that life is not fair...  well, it's pretty much isn't.  Never in world history has it been, ever. 

We are the only country in the world that allows people freedom to do what they want, when they want, and how they want.  However, the problem with this now days is the gov has passed so many laws and taxes that it restrict business, (large and small)  in such a way that it is difficult to grow, hire people and prosper.

With that said, the gov has as always prospered off the backs of others freedoms and has given and created a voting base by giving that hard work of others to people that don't, can't, will not work.  They have created a social justice society rather than a equal justice society.  Or rather taken our county toward a socialist type on the back of political correctness.  What was once right is now wrong and what was once wrong is now right.

Now, you may say... I can't get a job.  The economy is bad.   YES!!!  This is true.  The gov cannot created jobs, free people do.  What the gov can do is get out of the way like they have since our beginnings, let people created ideas that allow those people to hire.  What the gov has done is creat laws, taxes, rules and regulations that have pretty much shut down the ability to even be able to be prosper.  So what's the point. 

The most prosperess times in our history is when they stepped aside and let us the people built, discover, create, hire, think and take care of ourselfs.  But that's kinda hard to do when a gov raise taxes, gives people free stuff, spends more than they steal from us and borrow's money on the china credit card system. As well as hire 15m gov IRS agents to be sure they get our money. 

Wake up people, this is not a free stuff society.  It's a free society that is being transitioned to a social cry baby, help me help me, this is not fair, Tom's got more stuff than I do society.

July the 4th, Our Birthday!!


America, referring to the United States, is officially 234 years old on July 4, 2010.

Sometimes we get wrapped up in the fireworks displays and other activities on the Fourth but we must take time as individuals to understand the true meaning.

The Fourth of July is a national holiday and it represents what our founding fathers went through in declaring independence. Our forefathers took enormous risk in creating and signing the Declaration of Independence and the Fourth of July is a celebration of that action.

It was the beginning of OUR nation when the Declaration of Independence was signed by brave individuals who stood and declared we want to be free. ( Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776), the Declaration of Independence was/is the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty.

The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke and the Continental philosophers.

**What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in "self-evident truths" and set forth a list of grievances against the King in order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country. **

How much power to allow the central government was the reason for the Constitution.

During the debates on the adoption of the Constitution, its opponents repeatedly charged that the Constitution as drafted would open the way to tyranny by the central government.

Fresh in their minds was the memory of the British violation of civil rights before and during the Revolution. They demanded a "bill of rights" that would spell out the immunities of individual citizens.
Thus we have our freedoms to this day because WE ARE PROTECTED from the gov in order to retain our liberty.

The Fourth of July should not only be a celebration of our independence of over 200 years ago but also the recognition that freedom does not come free.

It takes individuals who stand up for our right to live and the freedoms we enjoy to keep those freedoms in place. We are living in a time that our gov is growing into the same monster that made the birth of this great nation possible.

Do everything you can to keep your birth right. And everything you can from a gov once again putting its people in a state of enslavement to its gov.

The principles in the Declaration of Independence and those written into the Constitution are what this country is about.

It is only right and fitting that we honor all military personnel at these celebrations and let them know we appreciate their sacrifices and the sacrifices of their families.

TO WE THE PEOPLE!! Let us celebrate and remember how we have the freedoms we enjoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY......NOW GO EAT A HOTDOG AND A BURGER.

People-the bedrock of American Freedom


The Bill of Rights were written to highlight those rights enumerated to "the people", not to the government. It is illogical to even think that any of the 10 amendments were written to describe a "right" of the government.

The constitution was written to set the powers of the government, the 10 amendments were written to address the shortcomings of that document. Those amendments were expressing the rights of the people that the government could not take away. Those rights are expressly important because they are powers that are exercised to counter the power of the government.
