I've lived in Canon City my whole life. It makes me sick to think of where this country is headed. The solutions are in God's Word.
End Public School, Taxation

Quality Public Education?

ocarememe

If you’re forced at gunpoint to pay for a service, it might be because that service is substandard. If it’s not substandard at the beginning, it will tend to be substandard as time goes on.  If it wasn’t substandard, they wouldn’t have to force people to pay for it.

We’re all forced to pay for other people’s children to be educated in public school. We all hold up our end of the bargain as only a tiny fraction of property taxes in this country go uncollected within months of the due date. However, public schools don’t need to hold up their end of the bargain as a Michigan judge has ruled.

So just as police don’t have a duty to protect people (like we’re forced to pay them to), schools don’t have to provide quality education (like we’re forced to pay them to). Socialism doesn’t work.

Lavoy Finicum Was Murdered

“Under the Law of God, the guilt is always on those who had drawn first. They are the murderers. In that context, even if he tried to draw, it was legitimate self-defense.

These government thugs must be taken to court and then duly executed. Until they are executed – every single one of them – there will be no justice in this case.

But the blame is on the local cops. It is the local Sheriff who must be re-called, tried, and executed for conspiracy and treason against his constituency.”–Bojidar Marinov

I like what Gavin Seim said, and I share his optimism that someday there will be buildings and roads named after Lavoy Finicum for having laid down his life for his friends. Which is more than you can say for the coward cops who murder people when they see their shadow.

Abortion

Murderers Have No Problem Lying

I saw this story today:

This morning, I received a phone call I’ll never forget. Earlier this week, a young woman had gone to an abortion clinic in Nashville because she wanted an abortion. She told the abortion clinic she was struggling with her decision, but felt it was the best choice.

She was given an ultrasound and told her “fetus was no longer viable” anyway. In other words, her baby was dead. She was given an appointment to come back today because Saturday’s are when they perform abortions and they would then expel the dead fetus from her body.

She arrived at the abortion clinic this morning for her appointment. After several minutes, she ran out of the abortion clinic sobbing. She spoke to a woman outside who was with a pro-life group. The woman told her about me and that’s when they called.

When I got on the phone, it was hard to understand her, as she was crying so hard. She said, “I changed my mind. I can’t do it. And I think they’ve lied to me about my baby being dead. They wouldn’t let me see the ultrasound, so I’m not sure, but I just have this gut feeling”. She wanted another ultrasound.

I immediately called our Nurse to arrange for her to meet them at our Spring Hill Office. After they met, Joanne Glazier Coogan, our Nurse, performed the ultrasound. And, guess what? This mother’s instincts were right. They lied. Her baby is very much alive. This is the reality of abortion clinics. Thank you to the donors of the Pregnancy Centers Middle TN. We saved two more people today. A mother and her child.

Here’s sound advice prompted by that story:

“I want to encourage you to please pray and ask how God wants you to be involved with abortion ministry. I was with this young mother today as she made this phone call outside of an abortion clinic. If there were no Christians there to counsel her when she needed it most, she very well might have gone through with the abortion. I realize that standing outside of an abortion clinic sounds crazy. I get that. Just start praying and asking God to show you how you and your family/children should be involved.”

End Public School

Socialization and Socialism

publicschool

I homeschool my kid. It is a lot of work, but it is the right thing to do as I don’t want to accept stolen money to educate my children, and I think it is the clear teaching of Scripture that it is sinful to send children to non-Christian schools.

Some people think homeschool kids end up dorks, because they missed out on all the socialization that goes on in public school. The problem with that is that there are plenty of dorky public school kids. How do kids learn how to behave like well-adjusted adults? By hanging out with 29 other kids their same age? That doesn’t make any sense.

Like I said, it’s hard work, but he’ll have so many more opportunities  with so much less wasted time. The sacrifice is well worth it.

Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God, Taxation

Theft Is OK Because The School Board Voted On It

This guy is paying $7 grand in property taxes for the school district in $1 bills. At 2:40 he gives a little speech, and the tax collector interrupts him and says the school board are the ones who voted to tax real estate, not her.

So what?

What if a band of thieves voted to rob me. When the guy they send to stick me up says, “Sorry, dude, the band of thieves voted to rob you.”

Stealing is stealing, even if it’s the government. The tax collector lady and the school district are no better than the band of thieves.

One way a regular guy can contribute to the thievery is by buying municipal bonds. Muni bonds are a way for government entities to raise money, by having people lend them money and paying back the money with interest later. Of course, the only significant source of income most government has is taxation. So by buying muni bonds, you’re relying that the government will continue stealing from people efficiently enough to pay you back. It’s lending money to the band of thieves. We need to stop cooperating with them in any way we can.

Abolish The Police, Conversation, Police Abuse, Power Trip

Might Makes Right, Right?

Might does not make right. The only possible source for moral authority for government comes from it acknowledging and submitting to Christ as King and Lord. But as this country has rejected Christ, its only claim to authority comes from the barrel of a gun–from threatening violence against those who don’t obey.

Sadly, even reformed Christians are taking part in this. Below is a conversation on a Facebook group of reformed Christians. I wonder what it’s like to enforce the unjust, unconstitutional laws of a nation under God’s judgment.  The following comes from a friendly conversation where a guy asked the group what tool people use most often at their job. A lot of people named various tools and testing equipment or computers. A lot of pastors said they use the Bible most. Out of a couple hundred responses I saw two cops say they used their gun most.

Here’s the rest of that conversation.

The founding fathers declared their independence because the standing army the king placed in the colonies. But we just put up with people like Andrew being willing to kill those who might run a stop sign, smoke in a public place or not pay their taxes.

Are There Really Pro Second Amendment Cops?

bm

Bojidar Marinov says:

Folks, don’t make foolish mistakes. If you think that a sheriff who supports private gun ownership is “pro-Second-Amendment” because “people should be safe,” you don’t understand reality, and you don’t understand the Second Amendment.

Reality check: The purpose of the Second Amendment was NOT to give safety to individual citizens against criminals. That has never been the point, and has never even crossed the mind of the Framers to establish that as a special right. The purpose of the Second Amendment was to DENY SAFETY TO GOVERNMENT AGENTS against individual citizens, when those government agents cross the line.

Thus, when a sheriff says you should have a gun to defend yourself against criminals, he is still not “pro-Second Amendment.” He will be “pro-Second-Amendment” only when he says that YOU SHOULD HAVE A GUN TO SHOOT COPS WHEN THEY BREAK THE LAW. This was the specific purpose of the Second Amendment, and if a Sheriff doesn’t say it explicitly, he is NOT “pro-Second-Amendment.”

So be wise and informed, and don’t fall for statist propaganda, even if it comes from your local beloved Sheriff.

This Guy Makes A Lot of Good Arguments

The following is taken from page 127 of “Government Indicted” by Marc Stevens.

“But taxes are the life-blood of government, and their prompt and certain availability an imperious need.” Bull v. United States, 295 U.S. 247; 55 S. Ct. 695; 79 L. Ed. 1421 (1935).

This idea is constantly reinforced. You’ll get notices from tax agencies about all the good things done with taxes, e.g., infrastructure, social security, aid to Israel, tsunami relief, etc. You then have two political parties relentlessly arguing about what the booty should be used for: conservatives argue the booty should go to law enforcement and the military, and liberals argue it should be for welfare and other social programs.

We fall for this and start arguing with one of the sides, even campaigning for the lesser of the two evils so the booty will be spent wisely. We also vote, which again reinforces the bond caused by the trauma of being controlled, manipulated, lied to, threatened and robbed. It reinforces the idea that we are somehow connected to the abusers; after all, we voted for the president and congress.

Let’s compare this frank admission from John Marshall, a supreme
court attorney and famous Mason, to the Bull quote above:

“That the power to tax involves the power to destroy;”
McCulloch v. Maryland, 4 Wheat. (17 U.S.) 316, 4 L.Ed. 579
(1819).

“But taxes are the life-blood of government, and their prompt
and certain availability an imperious need.” Bull v. United
States, 295 U.S. 247, 259; 55 S. Ct. 695; 79 L. Ed. 1421 (1935).

Let me get this straight: the “life-blood of government” is the “power
to destroy.” Nice admission; always good to see the occasional honesty from a gang of madmen.
