Try Googling or BING searching this phrase: "Why Capitalism is better than Communism" and see what comes up in your search. Page after page of the opposite including, but not limited to, college "essays" with titles like: "Communism is better than Capitalism."  I read that one. Or, I should say, LABORED through that one. MADNESS!!!! The degree of ineptitude, misguidance, blatant indoctrination is more than overwhelming. It's staggering. This young mind who wrote that piece (of trash) endeavors to paint a bright and rosy picture of how "everyone is equal in Communism" and how "even surgeons are equal to peasants" because "the government runs everything" so there is no "evil competition" and what this young mind omits is that there is competition. You know who competes in Communism? Those who wish to run the government of a Communist nation. You want to talk about "evil competition" do you? Sure, there are "elections" in Communist nations but you go to North Korea and try to start a new party of the people, by the people and for the people and declare your candidacy and you will feel the point of "evil competition" speared right through your heart, my friend. 

Can't happen here though, right? I'm just a "crazy and insane rightwing nutjob" for thinking Communists are in our schools, government and media, aren't I? If I were at the port where the Titanic departed for the U.S.A. in England in 1912 and I told people "hey, that ship is capable of sinking, you know, right?" what would have happened to me? Clubbed, bagged, tossed in to the drink and four blokes would have been off to the pub to toss back a few pints giggling at the "crazy and insane nutjob" I was for making such a statement. Who would have had the real hangover? 

Capitalism is not perfect. It's flawed. ALL THINGS ARE. That's why the United States Constitution was written in the first place. People...human beings... are flawed, and we make mistakes, become greedy, and become power hungry. Hence the document that ensures three branches of government -- so that no one branch can become more powerful than the other -- created by a compact of the states and people as the final arbiters of THEIR creation. Or, so we thought. I don't believe the Founding Fathers and Framers of the Constitution ever envisioned a spineless Congress, a President who cries "racism" or "war on women" or "evil 1%" whenever a legitimate criticism of administration failures is voiced. I don't believe they envisioned a court system stacked with idealogues and activist judges. I don't believe they envisioned a media system that either blatantly lies, or blatantly omits the truth. 

We have automobiles, technology, the very device you are reading this post on, space travel, deep ocean exploration, air planes, medical devices and medicines, and so very much more because of two things: the United States Constitution and free market capitalism. Period. What are the cornerstones of our freedom and our free Constitutional Republic,  whereby we elect our neighbors and friends to enact new laws that spring from common sense justice and necessity, or REPEAL unjust laws that spring from CRONYISM, or (even worse) unjust laws that spring from hatred of our way of life and a desire to "fundamentally transform it" into something it's not? (Hmmm; where did I hear that before?)? There are two cornerstones to our freedom and way of life: God and family. 

I love this nation. Many have given their lives for it on the battle field. Others have given their lives for it sitting in their office not suspecting a plane would crash into them. Still some more gave their lives or limbs attending a marathon not suspecting those who used their tax dollars would build pressure cooker bombs to pay them back with not a "thank you" but an "allahu akbar" stab in the back. And it's not just we Americans under attack. Israel, Jerusalem, many other western civilizations are also being attacked, murdered, and maligned with smears and falsehoods and it gets even worse (see a DAILY log of world-wide atrocities at "thereligionofpeace.com"). Ever see the birth rates of Americans, or Europeans compared to Muslims? YouTube that right now and if your jaw doesn't drop you weren't paying attention. Muslims and Marxists, joined at the hip, and if "crazy, insane, nutjobs" like myself and many millions more are not successful in defeating them then the "evil competition" they engage in will not produce a better product we have all come to rely upon for necessity, and they will not compete in peace for your vote to represent you and your interests in a governing body built by God and family but they will ram you, rip out your sides, and you will find yourself deeply under the same pressure that the Titanic now silently reaps on the bottom of the ocean floor. 

I hope and pray I am just a "crazy, insane nutjob." From the bottom of my heart. I really do.

"I just don't like guns," she said.  This was in response to a comment I made about a rifle match I had participated in last week.

But what does this comment actually MEAN?  

"I just don't like fireplace pokers."   "I just don't like hammers."  "I just don't like cars."  "I just don't like bathtubs."  

None of these sentences make any sense whatsoever, and a person who made those statements would receive, at the very least, blank looks of astonishment.   Yet each of the named items is responsible, each year, for far more accidental and intentional deaths -- both in raw numbers and in per-capita numbers -- than firearms.  

The misconception -- a result of a LONG campaign to impugn firearms -- runs so deep we don't even see it any longer.  A gun is a piece of metal, or metal-and-plastic, with NO WILL OF ITS OWN.  

Does she not like freedom?  --We owe our freedom to guns.  The muskets and rifles of the Revolutionary War; the rifles of the Civil War and the Spanish-American War; the Tommy Guns of World War I; the more sophisticated rifles of World War II, Korea, Vietnam... would she have preferred we remain subjects of King George?  Have been overrun by Hitler's troops?  Successfully invaded by Imperial Japan?  

Does she not like public safety?  --The police, National Guard, Border Patrol, and state militias (yes, they still exist), and other groups, are all armed.  Should a police officer have to try to arrest a drug dealer with only a stern countenance as his protection?  Don't be absurd!

No.  The actual indication and actual implication here is that firearms do not belong in the hands of law-abiding citizens.  This could NOT be more wrong.  History shows us, time and again, that when the methods of self-defense are ONLY in the hands of government agents, the inevitable result is INCREASED public violence and murder -- far too often at the hands of the government itself.  

Please see the video "Innocents Betrayed" by the organization Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership -- it is available free on YouTube.  Here is one link:

Ownership of firearms is an essential support of our inherent and unalienable right to life:  what right can you have to your own life without the right, the power, and the duty to protect that life from those who would steal it from you with violence?

A dislike of "guns" -- as though they were independently-willed entities -- is just silly on the face of it.  

"War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory.  I love only that which they defend..."  (LOTR; The Two Towers)

As my earlier post stated, mankind has invented numerous ways to commit evil.

If today's explosions in Boston turn out to the caused by firearms powder, there will be calls to ban the sale of powder.

If high explosives, those already are not available for sale -- yet still, people have been killed and many others seriously wounded.

THE PROBLEM OF EVIL PERSISTS REGARDLESS OF THE SPECIFIC METHOD USED.

It is the problem of EVIL which needs to be addressed.  That must be done with moral education, with ethics, with religious training, with philosophy, and -- first and foremost -- with two things admitted.

1.  Evil EXISTS, has always existed, will always exist until the world is made new (NOT by the actions of humanity, ever).

2.  Moral relativity is itself EVIL because it seeks to excuse evil "if we only understand; it's their way, their culture, it's just different, it's just as good, who are we to judge."  NO.  

We may not judge intentions or hearts; we MUST judge ACTIONS.  Murder is wrong.  Murder in the name of re-education, in the name of G-d, in the name of ideology -- is still wrong; is still evil.

That evil is not mitigated on iota if it is committed with a shoelace; it is not worsened by being committed with an IED.  Evil is Evil is Evil.

Mankind has a streak of evil; Alexander Solzhenitsyn said the line runs through the middle of each human heart.  

That is the proper place to fight the battle against evil.

 It is a defining characteristic of evil intent to make emotion-laden pleas to solve the WRONG "problem," thereby giving greater power to those whose intent (self-known or not) is itself drawn from evil.  

We have many laws against murder; yet still murder persists - the passing of laws has done nothing to end this crime.  Men can be murdered by many means, and mankind has devised ways to commit this crime on the one, the many at once, at close quarters, at a distance, by proxy, in person, with sanctimoniousness, with hatred, with callousness, with greed, with covetousness, with utter disregard, with insanity, with cold logic, with tools, with hands, with refusal to admit the danger presented by the insane, with refusal to admit the right to protect self -- and with weapons ranging from sticks and stones through common household implements and more.  

It is neither the TOOL nor the METHOD that is evil; rather it is the desire to murder, and the act itself, that are evil.  A thousand machetes and bazookas in the possession of a "Mother Theresa" is a danger to no one, while a strong shoelace (garrote) in the hands of a murderous thug is a danger to everyone in the vicinity. 

We are still embroiled in a so-called "debate" about firearms.  They are being called "evil" -- when they are merely a tool.  They are an incredibly IMPORTANT tool for defense of self, family, society, and country.  Without firearm ownership by civilians we would still be subjects of the British throne.  We may have had the mainland invaded by Japan during WW2.  Countless, countless innocents would be dead at the hands of thugs and evildoers had they not been able to defend themselves.  

So WHY the attacks on the legal ownership of firearms?  The EVIL purpose of of going after the emotion-laden easy target (pun intended) for purposes antithetical to what is claimed.  

"If it saves one child!" is the cry -- yet if saving children were really the intent, we would instead hear calls promoting the training of teachers and administrative staff in legal concealed carry and defensive shooting techniques.  Emotion-laden, factually inverse, arguments whose purpose is really to do more evil.

Banning, limiting, and confiscating firearms from the law-abiding is the intention.  No law will stop a criminal from obtaining guns -- look at every place where they have imposed harsh rules; gun crime and GENERAL violence increase dramatically.  Contrast this with places where firearms ownership is REQUIRED - Switzerland, Kennesaw GA, and others.  Not only done gun violence decrease, but violence of ALL kinds decreases.  

If we wish to protect our children, we will REQUIRE firearms ownership and training - not seek to ban it.

Always, always, always, history shows us that governments disarm the population in preparation for despotic regimes wishing none to obstruct their nefarious and evil plans.

Think, those who may assume I am calling the current administration despots and tyrants -- would you have wanted these same proposed measures to be instituted by the -previous- administration?  I did not think so.  

The organization "Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership" has some excellent articles and videos; I recommend them highly.  Look for www.jfpo.org, and search on YouTbue for "Innocents Betrayed."

Excellent article; well researched and well written.

I must weigh in on the evil done today in Connecticut; children, barely more than babies, looking forward to Santa and presents and vacation -- brutally killed, along with their teachers.  They are now in Heaven and beyond my poor hopes and wishes for them.  

Tomorrow we face the most important and momentous election this country has ever faced. 

Tomorrow we choose whether this Constitutional Republic - this great experiment in government being subordinate to the People - dies under the heels of tyranny, or we get four more years to retreat from the cliff-edge and turn back to our Founding Principles.

We have done everything that WE can do in preparation.  We have put up signs (and replaced them when they have been stolen or torched), prayed, donated to candidates, fasted, posted on Facebook and Twitter, talked to our friends and neighbors and colleagues.  Now it is in God's hands. 

There is a part of my mind that is terrified; that the extreme leftists will steal the election by fraud; that they will urge their "useful idiots" (to use Vladimir llyich Lenin's term) to riot; that we will be stuck with an anti-US Senate that will stymie all attempts to undo the damage of the last four years... you can fill out this list as well as can I.

There is yet another part of my mind, though, that is at peace and is not frightened at all.  Determined, but not frightened.  If this election does remove the current administration, our work has just begun. 

The Democrat party has been completely subsumed by anti-American Progressives (see books by Pestritto and Shlaes for a history of the Communist-influenced, Communist-idealizing Progressive movement) - but the Republican party is not far behind!  Both parties at the national level are too corrupt, too entrenched, too enamored of their own power ever to be trusted.  They must eventually be dismantled - or taken over from inside, as FreedomWorks is attempting to do, and reconstructed.

Yet even more fundamental is the need to re-learn who we are as a people -- what our Founding Principles were, WHY those principles were chosen (and they were indeed chosen, and very carefully and thoughtfully), and why those principles are still the very best hope of this country and indeed of humanity. 

Those principles are stated in the Declaration of Independence.  The Constitution is an attempt to make a working structure out of those principles.  It is not a perfect document (nothing written by mankind ever could be) - and yet, it is the BEST document of its kind ever written. 

We must, as a People, study those principles once again, and return to them.  We can only return to them if we understand why and how they were chosen; why and how they are still pertinent; why and how they are still essential. 

Tomorrow -- please vote.  Vote for the restoration of the Republic (executive and both legislative houses federal), for the restoration of states' rights (executive and both legislative houses state), for true Hope in this land.

The day after tomorrow -- that is when the REAL, hard, work of restoring our Republic will begin.  It must be founded on principle, even as the writers of the Declaration and Constitution worked from principle.  Else whatever we build cannot and will not stand.

November 5th:  A day to pray and fast for deliverance from the evil which seeks to destroy us.

November 6th:  Election Day.

November 7th:  First a day to give thanks for all we have; joys and trials, friends, family, work.  Then time to roll up our sleeves and start the Restoration.

On this Constitution Day, we have a disgusting example of government agencies run amok, stealing substantial property from an innocent older couple, and destroying their livelihood.

This is exactly the type of tyrannical action our Constitution is supposed to prevent.

Today is Constitution Day; a day set aside by Congress to honor and remember our Constitution.

This is still the only country on earth founded on the principle that power is sovereign in the people, that our rights come from our Creator, and that the only legitimate purpose of government is to safeguard those rights.


Celebrate by remembering the inspired work of our Founders.  Read one or more of the articles on this site.  Watch one or more of Michael Badnarik's Constitution Class videos on YouTube (beware; they're like potato chips... just ONE more...).  Read any article on Publius Huldah's blog.  

Remember to give  thanks for living in what is still the free-est country on earth.  

Commit yourself to restoring the principles of freedom, justice, and individual responsibility that are the cornerstones of our Republic.
