Still a free country?

Under the guise of knowing what’s best for you, the government requires that you do all manner of intrusive things like wear a seatbelt. Few argue the sense of wearing a seatbelt. It saves lives and lessens injuries. Under that logic, the government can and should also force you to wear a helmet, fireproof suit and maintain a flotation devise (in the unlikely event you have to make a water landing) in your car. Oops, I shouldn’t have given them any ideas.

Though dead for now, the Libs want you to have to register your guns. It’s the same as registering your car they whine. It isn’t. Besides, the only reason you have to register your car is so that the state can make money off of the transaction. If it were for any other purpose, the ONLY time you’d have to do it is when you bought the car.

And if you don’t think every freedom the Libs want to wrangle from you is for political reasons check out this bit of scatterology from the mind of the Lib. Libs will claim that every gay marriage from one state must be recognized by other states because of Article IV Section 1 – the Full Faith and Credit Clause in the constitution:

Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.

Now if anyone tries to apply the exact same logic to concealed carry laws, the Libs predictably go nuts. Wait, they already were nuts. They go ballistic. Nice pun Lex. Thanks.

But the fact of the matter is concealed carry laws are an infringement of the 2nd Amendment:

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Concealment laws are an infringement on the right to BEAR ARMS. I can hear even the neo-cons saying, “Oh, come on! Be reasonable.” I am. I don’t know why I can’t legally throw a revolver into the glove box of my auto while on a cross country trip without having to worry about 50 different laws pertaining to that constitutionally protected activity.  I happen to think that the people who want to infringe on that right are UNREASONABLE.

But one by one we let the “we know better” crowd have their way on these “common sense” issues. And before you know it freedoms are gone like a beautiful sunset, never to be seen again.  Sadly 50+% accept it. It's as if we're setting up our own pre-crime units. Can't carry that gun, you might use it.


There is a means by which to amend the constitution. It is a long and difficult process by design. That’s why Libs prefer to use the 9th Circus Court. All it takes are three wildly Liberal judges to reverse the constitution, an election, a law enacted by the duly elected representatives of the people. Then every hare brained idea the Libs come with is touted as “common sense” by a lazy and complicit LameStreamMedia.

On a different note, the PC police are now going after free speech.
I was driving like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour 2 to pick up my Chinese take out box with extra fortune cookies from the Love You Lin Time No $h!t GI Chinese carry out in order to get home in time to see the almond eyed, yellow mamba, Jeremy Lin, lay a Kung Foo arse whippin’ on the Miami Heat – provided they’ve fixed the chink in his armor.

There! I got every one the Asian American Journalist Association’s taboos on Jeremy Lin coverage into a single sentence. Uh oh, here comes the boss to fire me.
