Armed Citizen

"They make a rout about universal liberty, without considering that all that is to be valued, or indeed can be enjoyed by individuals, is private liberty." -- Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "As the organized Left gained cultural power, it turned into a monster that found perpetual victimhood, combined with thought and speech control, the most efficient way to hold on to that power. Suddenly it was the Left, the protector of liberty, that was setting rules about what could and could not be said or even thought." -- Tammy Bruce (1962-) American radio host, author, and political commentator Source: The New Thought Police, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have...

Our Founding Fathers said that these 28 Principles of Freedom must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. Adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5,000 years. 1.  The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law 2.  A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong 3.  The most promising method of securing a virtuous and morally stable people is to elect virtuous leaders 4.  Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained 5.  All things were created by God, therefore upon Him all mankind are equally dependent, and to Him they are equally responsible 6.  All men are created equal 7.  The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, NOT PROVIDE EQUAL THINGS! 8.  Men are endowed by their Creator wi...

Today is July 4th, a time when most people get a paid day off, trips to the lake are planned, and grills are fired up for delicious bbq's.  Everyone waves a flag and we usually go watch fireworks.  This day is more than that.  Most of us know that, and most of the people I call friends recognize that what we celebrate on the 4th of July was an impossibility and was unfathomable at the time.  That the upstart state representatives, that had formed the loose Continental Congress, would have the gall to declare that the people here on this continent had the right   to " dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them ...". Wave the Flag of our Nation, but know why it is important and teach your children why we respect the Flag and all it represents.  Let them know what it represents.  Let us honor ...

"The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters." --   Frederick Douglass Who is or was Frederick Douglas?   He was an escaped slave, who later became an Abolitionist, an author, and the editor of the   North Star   and later the New National Era These penetrating words were spoken by him in an address on West India Emancipation (4 August 1857) But these were not words taken out of context.  Not did he only preach about freedom on one occasion.  Frederick Douglas was outspoken and a fine orator.  He had been a slave, who understood a thing or two about being just out of arms reach o...

A CAPITALIST MANIFESTO On the 150th anniversary of the Communist Manifesto, Merrill Matthews Jr. and Morgan O. Reynolds of the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis have drafted a similarly patterned Capitalist Manifesto -- defining the ramifications of private property rights and the right to contract. Here are the highlights of their program to end the welfare state and restore individual liberties: •Reaffirmation of the right of individuals to rent, sell or use their property however they peaceably choose, so long as they do not impinge on the rights of others. •A flat income tax set at the lowest rate compatible with fiscal restraint, and abolition of all inheritance taxes and restrictions. •A guarantee of the property rights of all immigrants and dissidents. •Withdrawal from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank -- and abolition of all credit monopolies. Their manifesto also calls for restoration of market prerogatives by divestiture and dece...

February 11, 1988 Thank you very much. It's great to be here tonight, and I'm delighted to see so many old friends. And now let's get right to it. First, there's the INF treaty. How do you think I felt when Gorbachev called a week and a half ago and asked me if our first group of on-site inspectors could be the Denver Broncos' pass defense? (Laughter.) And then along came the House vote on Contra aid -- I felt so terrible, I nearly called Dan Reeves and John Elway to tell them what a rough week I'd had. But seriously, while the Denver Broncos are all terrific athletes and people, each one of us has to congratulate the Washington Redskins. Believe me, the House action on the Contra vote was a missed chance at a victory for peace in Central America. It's great to know there are some people in Washington who play to win. And believe me, I'll be getting back to that topic in a few minutes. By the way, something odd happened just before I got here tonig...

Dirty Secret No. 3 in Obamacare by Chuck Norris (more by this author) Posted 08/25/2009 ETUpdated 08/25/2009 ET Ever heard the saying "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"? That's true for any of the 1,000-plus-page versions of Obamacare.I've informed you in previous columns of two dirty secrets in Obamacare. Dirty secret No. 3 is the sin of omission. It's what the health care bill doesn't say that will bite you in the end. In 1,000-plus pages, there's surprisingly sparse coverage or complete avoidance of a host of necessary issues. I would cite pages in the bill, as I've done in my other articles, but there aren't any covering them. These are questions that need specific answers by the Obama administration, as well as by each of our representatives: --What would the child development methods and values used in training parents during home visitations be? --To whom or what would the national committee that would oversee the entire heal...

Like many of you I suppose, I have been watching the news accounts of the protests in Iran with fascination. Here are a people who despite the risk to life and limb are coming out by the thousands to protest the kind of regime that has kept them down since the late 70's. First thing is that the election is not the real issue. The so called 'opposition' leader is only slightly different in his policies than the entrenched supreme leader and the so-called re-elected president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. What is really going on is that Iranians are at the point of no return. There have been reports for the last several years that there has been a huge western influence in Iran. Many Iranians have come to the united states to pursue their educational goals. While it is true that many stay and become successful here in the U.S., the majority end up back in Iran. They have seen the freedom that we have here and long for it at home. The feelings of wanting true freedom exploded when Ahm...

I first read this letter after a friend turned me onto the Glenn Beck websight where it was republished after being read on the air. I think this brave patriotic American speaks for many of us patriots out there. Please read; ------------------------------- I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views an...

When this nation was struggling with how to stand strong in the world shortly after earning it's freedom at the cost of much blood and sacrifice, there were many differing ideas on how to do this. First of all, each of the thirteen colonies was a sovereign nation in and unto itself. But it was only through banding together for the cause of freedom that they were able to secure that right for themselves and hopefully their posterity. What was the single greatest fear of the founding fathers? It was that the individual colonies, now states, would lose the ability to take care of their own and that someone else, heck, anyone else might try and take some of their rights away. So many many bright men hatched together a constitution. This was a constitution declaring the natural rights that belong to all men. They then painstakingly went through each part of each type of government that had existed on the earth till then and came up with our Nations Constitution. It simply acknowledg...
