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.
The Way Things Ought to Be

Country Boys Can Survive

This is from barnhardt.biz:

Speaking of masculinity in culture, I am inclined to repeat an anecdote which I have written of here before long ago, but which bears repeating in light of the current discussion of “free speech”.  The bottom line is this:  a healthy culture SELF-POLICES and naturally, swiftly and efficiently quashes that speech which should be suppressed.  You don’t need the government to get involved – the onus is actually on the people themselves to take care of these things.  It’s almost like … SUBSIDIARITY IN PRACTICE, or something.

So here’s the anecdote.  Many years ago in the early ’90s, I attended the annual Threshing Bee in McLouth, Kansas.  A Threshing Bee is very similar to a county fair, and features antique farm machinery (including operating steam engines), tractor pulls, draft horse competitions, booths, a fairway with games, rides and food concessions – a quintessential rural American family event.  One evening we were watching the tractor pull and draft horse competitions, and some drunken idiot in the stands started screaming and yelling all manner of curses and obscenities.  This was in the early evening, and there were families and children all around.  This went on for about 30 seconds, and then spontaneously, about six men out of the crowd without a word stood up, mustered, and discreetly surrounded and confronted the drunk.  One of the men assumed the lead and told the drunk that either he shut his mouth and leave the premises RIGHT NOW, or the men would shut his mouth for him and physically remove him.  They didn’t ask him, they told him.  His only choice was, do it easy or do it hard, but either way, it was getting done.

This is what I’m talking about.  This is subsidiarity in action.  There wasn’t even a need to go summon the sheriff’s deputy who was the on-duty security.  Why?  Because the PEOPLE, in this case a small group of able-bodied men, had not only the ability, but thereby also the duty to self-police and handle the situation.  And because they were actual MEN, with their testicles intact, and not residing in a pickle jar on top of their teevee, or in their wives’ purses, the situation was quickly and discreetly handled.

Because no, drunken trailer trash jackasses do NOT have the “right” to scream the f-word at public, family-oriented events.  Another example of this that comes to mind is, in fact, teevee.  If any of the satanic agitporn trash that passes for prime-time teevee today (think 2 1/2 Men or Family Guy or Real Housewives of…) were to air in ARSH 1957, the era of “Leave It To Beaver”, “Dragnet” and “Gunsmoke”, understand that the American people themselves would have demanded, not just made idle, impotent, five-minute threats about boycotts, but demanded and PHYSICALLY BACKED IT UP that the network and people responsible be held to account, punished, and that it not happen again.  I know it is hard to imagine this today, but it is true.  The culture was still healthy enough to self-police.  Today, we are so far gone and so lacking in any sort of masculine initiative or boundary-setting, that the entire notion of a self-policing, subsidiary social order SEEMS impossible.  And so, tyranny you shall have, until such time as you get off your effete, apathetic asses and restore your balls to their proper position.

The Attitude of Cops

I aspire for my attitude in life to be that I would lay down my life for another–even a stranger. I realize that’s easier said than done. And, that doesn’t mean that I would be unwilling to kill to protect myself or my family. But to give one’s life to protect innocent people is a Christian virtue. Jesus said, “No greater love has any man than this, but to lay down his life for a friend (John 15:13).”

Shouldn’t that also be the attitude of police? We admire those who ran into the World Trade Center while everyone else was running out. But that seems like ancient history at this point. The attitude of the police seems that they are an army occupying enemy territory. Their safety comes first.

On Facebook, in reference to the dangerous situation shown in this video, a former cop said, “Well again, i would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6! Im going home to my kiddos!”

I can’t respond better than Jerri Lynn Ward, “So would innocent people encountering panicky trigger happy cops and they don’t get paid to take the risks that cops are paid for. Your statement convinces me even more that cops are not here to protect us but only to collect a salary and pension. It’s good that someone with your attitude is out of the profession.”

The victim in this video is almost certainly an idiot. But idiots don’t deserve the death penalty. The officer’s safety comes first, even if it costs someone else their life. And this officer won’t be held to the same standard as the citizenry. He gets special treatment. Good luck getting justice for Jerame Reid.

The Way Things Ought to Be

Proper Border Policy

I’ve loved politics since I was a kid. I loved Ronald Reagan. I started watching Rush Limbaugh’s TV show when I was in high school and then his radio show ever since. I’ve noticed along with many other Christians that the Republican party isn’t really all that conservative. Many don’t talk conservatively, and most of the rest of Republicans who may talk conservatively don’t walk conservatively.

As I’ve studied the Bible, I’ve also come to the realization that some of the policies that are considered conservative still aren’t biblical. As Christians, we need to stay biblical. That is why I’m posting these videos that make the case for opening international borders completely.

Christians are people who have submitted to Christ as Lord. That means that we do what He says to do, and believe what He says to be true to the best of our ability. The Bible talks about having open borders, and that settles it for me. Check out these videos that are very eye opening.

Justice Served In Spite of Another Ignorant Cop

This cop is a joke. He completely fabricated a charge out of thin air. He’s paid to enforce the law, but he doesn’t even know what the law is. He should be charged with fraud for every paycheck he has accepted.

There’s good news on this one though. Here’s how this case turned out, quoted from the faith-freedom.com website mentioned at the end of the video.

Initially, when the men were arrested, the CHP officer stated that it was illegal to “preach to a captive audience.” After the defendants were placed in jail and upon learning that no such penal code prohibits preaching to a “captive audience,”  the officer issued a citation for “impeding an open business” with threats or intimidation under Penal Code Section 602.1(b). However, the DMV was closed at the time the men were there, and they were standing at least 50 feet from the entrance.  So, the district attorney again changed the charges, claiming trespass, after the government realized the business was not actually open and, presumably, saw the video showing no threats or intimidation.

On August 13, 2013, we won the case when the judge ruled in our favor before we even had to put forward any evidence. The DA did not meet his burden of proof, and our clients were found Not Guilty.

They have filed a federal lawsuit and I hope they end up costing the state a lot of money.

Fair DUI Flyer for Colorado

Fair-DUI-FL-Flyer-1

Above is the Fair DUI flyer for Florida. See the previous post for how it is used. I noticed a change in the strategy since the last time they used it. Previously, they held the license, registration and insurance up to the window. This time, they put it in a bag and dangled it out the window. I didn’t think much of it, but a commenter on the video asked the question and was told that Florida has changed the law in the last few months to say that you have to hand the documents to the officer.

I found similar laws in Colorado. Hopefully, I can have the people at Fairdui.org review the flyer and they can post it on their website for Colorado. Here is what I’ve found so far.

42-2-115. License, permit, or identification card to be exhibited on demand

(1) No person who has been issued a driver’s or minor driver’s license or an instruction permit or an identification card as defined in section 42-2-301 (2), who operates a motor vehicle in this state, and who has such license, permit, or identification card in such person’s immediate possession shall refuse to remove such license, permit, or identification card from any billfold, purse, cover, or other container and to hand the same to any peace officer who has requested such person to do so if such peace officer reasonably suspects that such person is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a violation of article 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 of this title.

(2) Any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense.

———————————————————————————

42-4-1707 (6) If the defendant does possess a valid Colorado driver’s license, the defendant shall not be required to execute a promise to appear on the penalty assessment notice or on the summons and complaint. The peace officer shall not require any person who is eligible to be issued a summons and complaint or a penalty assessment notice for a violation of this title to produce or divulge such person’s social security number.

Arrests Threatened

This is one of Jeff Gray’s most viewed videos, even though it was only posted a few days ago. Everything he did was perfectly legal.

However, two evil, statist Florida sheriffs have threatened to arrest anyone who tries it in their county.

“I challenge him…to please come to Lee County and drive around,” Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott said. “Eventually he’ll find one of our checkpoints and he’ll try his luck. He’ll go to jail.”

“It’s about doing the right thing and we are trying to do the right thing to protect the public and keep drunks who kill people off the road,” Gualtieri, Pinellas County Sheriff, said.

“The deputy can’t assess the person. And, if you can’t assess them, you are obstructing the investigation,” Gualtieri said.

“Just because you dangle in a bag with your drivers license, insurance card and registration out the window doesn’t mean you’re not drunk.”

I emailed both sheriffs and asked them to add me to their checkpoint notification list. Give me liberty or give me death.
