• random thoughts on freedom, security and peace

  Is it paranoia when you know someone is out to get you?

  A person who seeks security will only find fear.

  Teach a person what it means to live in freedom, and the person will learn responsibility, respect and honor. Lead by example.The political leadership of our government has failed to lead. It's a grassroots effort now.

  After the recent break-in, a new lock was installed on the front door, the third one in three months. Measurements were taken on the windows and bars have been installed. If anyone should be living in a barred room with secure locks on the doors, it should be criminals and terrorists. Criminals should live in fear, not the people. Now where do we string up the concertina wire?

  I have heard it being said that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are "not a suicide pact." Who was the treasonous piece of toiletpaper who came up with that line? The second amendment of the Bill of Rights is for a free people to defend their lives and families, their homes, their fellow Americans, their country, their sacred honor so that criminals will live in fear. The Bill of Rights is the government's guarantee that no one ever has to live in fear. The voices who cry for their abolishment must be held accountable for their treason. They have abondoned their sacred honor and duty to the American people. Though they have a heartbeat, they no more have life in freedom. Let them rot in fear. Security will never be theirs.

  Read them with me:

  Bill of Rights

  Amendment I

  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
  or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
  speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
  assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

  Amendment II

  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.

  Amendment III

  No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house,
  without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner
  to be prescribed by law.

  Amendment IV

  The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
  papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall
  not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
  supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
  to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

  Amendment V

  No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise
  infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury,
  except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia,
  when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any
  person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of
  life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a
  witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
  without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for
  public use, without just compensation.

  Amendment VI

  In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right
  to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and
  district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district
  shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of
  the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the
  witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining
  witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his
  defense.

  Amendment VII

  In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall
  exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved,
  and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court
  of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

  Amendment VIII

  Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

  Amendment IX

  The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall
  not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

  Amendment X

  The powers not delegated to the United States by the
  Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the
  states respectively, or to the people.

  What part does the President of the United States, the Department of Homeland Security, Congress, and the Supreme Court of the United States, the FBI, the CIA, FEMA, and other federal, state and local government agencies and law enforcement personnel not understand?

  I'm a Libertarian. I get it. Do you?
