Cats, Guns, and National Security

Be it one human or 200 million humans involved in political decision-making, human nature is the flaw in any government instituted among men. "Democracy"--generically speaking, meaning the practice of popular voting by the general population as the means of setting the course for a community or society--seeks to maximize the impact of human nature in governance. If human nature is so susceptible to propaganda that all the money spent on political campaigns makes a difference, then this form of government is not simply flawed (as are all things among humans), but in fact ultimately counterproductive in pursuing the legitimate purposes of government as outlined in the various governing documents produced down through history. Thus, say what we will when we weigh strengths and weaknesses of different forms of government, a conclusion not reasonably deniable by anyone (and libertarian arguments to the contrary deny human nature, and thus are NOT reasonable) is that "maintain...

In 2013, people were buying ARs at inflated prices for investment. One of my best friends had a $1200 offer sight-unseen through a third party for a homebuild AR not worth $600. It was only ARs--and thus done as a collectors' effort, not a preparatory one--as is evidenced by how AKs, other AWs (legal term), and other arms were decidedly NOT subjected to the same race to buy. The funny part, and I said this at the time, is that the legislation being feared then would have made their collected items worthless, save for Fair Market Value, and only transferrable to the government (no collector sales, no trades, no inheritance). Those people buying were the arrogant stern-voiced know-it-alls too stupid to pay attention and realize it wasn't like the 1994 ban. Had it passed--and I suspect they hoped it would--they'd have had their financial asses handed to them. And I would have laughed. Today, people are in some cases smarter, as the buying rush includes non-AWs. Some folks are...

Below is a writeup--edited only at the end, with indication--I sent out in 2008 (Wikipedia article cited has since been edited), long before it was clear Barack Hussein Obama would ascend to the pResidency. It addresses a phenomenon I saw then on the conservative/Right, and one which, though taking a certain reprieve in 2016, had resurfaced. Twelve years have both refined and sharpened my own perspective, which will be discussed at the end. Please read with all of that in consideration. ====================================================== Some of you might remember an ABC mini-series called, "AmeriKa", about a Soviet takeover of the U.S.  Basically, the series is set 10 years after a combination of military defeat and internal Soviet-sponsored coup leads to Soviet control.     However, there is an additional component to the conquest of America (and one a bit surprising to hear coming in the mainstream media).  Without going into boring detail, I would like ea...

Dems can't run a legitimate Presidential campaign anymore. In 2008, they played the race card to elect someone not meeting the Natural Born Citizen qualification (his father was not a U.S. citizen). And this year, they seek an election "win" that is nothing more than attempted steal by demonstrable fraud, using media bias and intimidation of judges and other officials. Definite grounds for States to deny recognition of Harris/Biden regardless of what happens January 20. People should tell their State legislators and governors to apply the Federalist 46 model from the Founders for resisting the sort of federal tyranny that the imposition of an illegitimate President/Vice President would constitute.
