Judge Blackhawk at KeepAndBearArms.Com - Being a good citizen: fiction about a probable U.S. future.
I listened to GOA's Live Fire at noon yesterday, and heard a nice conversation between Larry Pratt of GOA and Angel Shamaya of KeepAndBearArms.com. After listening, I looked at the Live Fire archives, and discovered that the interview with Linda Hamilton was last Saturday. So I listened to it as well. It's here. RealPlayer required.
An echo of (or precursor to?) L. Neil's Bill of Rights Enforcement from kaba:
The purpose of the Bill of Rights being to limit government, I suggest that it be given teeth. The Eleventh Amendment to the Bill of Rights should provide for the preservation of the Bill of Rights by imposing a non-commutable death sentence upon any politician, at any level, who votes for legislation that would limit or infringe upon the practice of the first ten Amendments. -- Tom Kozan, Greeley, Colorado, LP News, June, 1998
Also from kaba:
Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have. -- Barry Goldwater
Mike Shelton at the Orange County Register - Super Jackpot Lotto: I've read descriptions of this idea concerning the Palm County "butterfly ballots.". Mike puts it in cartoon form. Hehe.
Kevin Tuma - Dummies: Cartoon commentary on current reading material for Hitlary and the democratic party.
Dave Winer's DaveNet - Later it will be too late: Dave voted for Gore, though it was a lesser of two evils kind of decision. He points out the deep problem with Socialist Party A's plans for the Florida recount. [script]
This afternoon I caught up on today's press conferences, both sides, and I see a serious problem. The Republican Party has said that it will abide by the results in Florida. If they lose after the recount is complete, late next week, they will concede.The Democrats, when asked the same question, repeatedly, refuse to commit. After enough recounts I'm concerned that the balance will switch to Gore. At that point the Democrats are likely to remind us of the commitment the Republicans made. This will be unfair, and as a modestly intelligent person, I know it.
L. Neil Smith at KeepAndBearArms.Com - Rule of Flaw: L. Neil especially dislikes "Socialist Party A", because they refuse to play by their own rules, or any rules that don't serve their goal of the moment. [kaba]
Of course the reason they offer, loudly, incessantly, for why the rules others follow shouldn't apply equally to them is that there's a "greater cause" to be considered. What they won't tell you is that the "greater cause" they have in mind is seizing absolute ownership and control of your life and all the products of your life. Adolf Hitler slaughtered millions in that "greater cause", so did Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, and Pol Pot. Waco Willie and his culture-genocidal hordes simply aren't about to let a silly thing like the United States Constitution stand in their way, let alone a little statute here and there.Their attitude toward the proper outcome of the election of 2000 is exactly the same as their attitude toward, let's say, the Second Amendment. Despite their egalitarian rhetoric, they hate, loathe, and despise the distributed power that ownership of personal arms bestows on each and every one of We the People, so they want us all to ignore the clearly written prohibition on any government interference with the unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right of every man, woman, and responsible child to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission.
Two new articles in The Libertarian series by Vin Suprynowicz:
- A chance to really clear the air - Vin talks about a the EPA in
the supreme court, hoping that they'll disallow congress ceding its
regulatory power to non-elected bureaucrats.
Obviously, OSHA, the FCC, and numerous other Washington regulatory storm troopers will feel the chill if the court rules that Congress must actually "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper," as required by the Constitution -- not merely give unelected bureaucrats carte blanche to dream them up as they go along.
...
To blithely rule that Congress has the power to "delegate" unlimited lawmaking authority to anyone it pleases would set a dangerous precedent indeed -- didn't the members of the first French republican assembly eventually "delegate" all their powers to Robespierre, and finally to the dictator Napoleon? Didn't the German Reichstag "delegate" all its powers to Chancellor Hitler ... eventually finding so little left to do that it closed down entirely?
- The Parade of Collectivism marches on - Hehehehehehehe. Vin does
it good this time. Did you know that store owners now have to keep a
list of all purchasers of iodine in the People's Republic of
Kalifornia? Yep. Someone might use it to make methamphetamine. Oh no!
I have witnesses: I said early on Nov. 7 "This election will come down to a couple thousand Cubans sending a message to Al Gore about the way Jackboot Janet decided to 'resolve' the matter of Little Elian Gonzales."
Who, by the way -- Elian, that is, not the murderess troll -- will come to America and have his own talk show after Papa Fidel finally becomes the last hero of the World Socialist Revolution to be embalmed and laid out for public view. (The Russians are apparently running out of money to keep re-embalming Lenin. I'm not -- as Dave Barry would say -- making this up. Of course, the Russians are running out of money for pretty much everything, despite the best efforts of the thieves at the World Bank to divert an artery coursing with U.S. taxpayer cash right into the angiogenic tumor which the Kremlin has become, concluding in that secret deal recently OK'd by our point man in the kleptocommissariat, Al Gore, encouraging the Reds to unload all their left-over engines of death on Iran and other friendly powers. Not that I mind a free market in weapons, mind you. I'd just like to know, if the average barefoot goatherd from Zahedan to Samarkand can now buy his own a shoulder-launched heat-seeking missile, why I can't pick one up at Home Depot. Fair is fair.)
Russ Howard at KeepAndBearArms.Com - Why I voted for Gore: Mr. Howard volunteered to help out his local republican party. They asked him to drive a 92-year-old blind woman to the polls. She instructed him to vote her ballot democrat down the line. Turns out she was a democrat. She claimed that the republican party called her. Continues with a long tirade about vote fraud by the democrats. [kaba]
Hal Turner at Sierra Times - Blood in the Streets?: Some people are apparently really angry about voter fraud. Interesting what happens when folks finally learn about what's been going on since time immemorial. My take: The problem isn't voter fraud. The problem is voting. The entire concept is broken. [sierra]
While Gore supporters are holding protests in the streets, Bush supporters are buying bullets at gun shops. In the three days since the U.S. General Election, ammunition sales throughout the United States have jumped an astonishing nine-hundred percent (900%). Americans are furious over massive, blatant and widespread vote fraud by supporters of Al Gore and many are openly talking about "blood in the streets."
David-Layton Wilson - Declaration of Sovereignty, Independence, and Allegiance: The Arkansas Republic secedes from the union. Interesting document. No signatures. [kaba]
