Our nations trained professionals don't live at my house...thank God. I'll defend myself.

The Liberal left either doesn't know, or doesn't want you to know that the cities with the highest incidence of gun crime also have gun bans.The cities where citizens are known to own hand guns have a lower crime rate...coincidence?

Why not include the basic right to be "let alone"? Why not include the right of "Privacy"? Because if we did that, the government would have very little to do...and they don't like that.

Liberty lives in the hearts of Patriots... if we could only convince the "Loyalists"

What a novel idea...we should suggest it to the District of Criminals. Nawww, that might mean an end to payoffs and lobbying, they'll never go for it.

No such thing as self imposed limits by the state. The limits must be imposed by "We The People" And enforced by the same...

It would seem a mixed message. It implies that the state actually wants to help someone and then states that we have been imposed upon with commands and interdictions. I call BS on the fist part and say BS TO the second part.

Socialism is a cancer on a healthy society. The "Greens" are actually the "Watermelons". Green on the outside and RED on the inside.

North Americans became so prosperous due to their ability and natural inclination to produce and be innovative. A socialist welfare / warfare state replaces that with complacency and laziness, by removing any incentive to improve our lives through our own efforts. Nowadays those of us who work just to "survive" criminal levels of taxation are the very ones paying for those who don't work. We're running on a hamster wheel.

Mike, in all honesty I wasn't really thinking in terms of honest charity or relief work. I suppose I was focusing on government bureaucrats whom I despise. Genuine community work is a different matter altogether and one that comes naturally to good people who actually care. More power to them.

Archer...further to your thought - Corporations are by all definitions "psychopathic".

Home schooled children are in a natural environment with their natural parents who are their natural teachers. As opposed to small insignificant people trying to be big important people by telling everyone else how to live...according to them! And we sure as hell would get along better without bureaucratic "do gooders" imposing themselves into every single little aspect of our lives. I think this quote stands very well on its own.

Looks like yet another pompous ass telling the rest of us what is good for us. The whole "Nanny State" idea is so completely repulsive I could just barf on my shoes. Or better yet...on Murphey's shoes. :)

Well that stands to reason, coming from a "National Socialist Dictator". The fact is, when individuals are able to meet their own needs, they are of the greatest benefit first to themselves and then society in general. We aren't "ants" after all....

If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other. ~Carl Schurz ~

We do need to defend ourselves and our neighbors from ANY aggressor. For that we need to be armed. Gun Control is about "control" its not about "guns". An educated, affluent, armed society is difficult to control...ergo: the education system, taxation and "gun control".

Archer, I stand corrected. But its still a short walk.

We've been divided into "Right" and "Left", Black and White, Wealthy and Poor. We've become a society of "Group Rights" rather than Individual Rights. A system of anger and envy, a people divided. Always remember, we're run by a well organized and united minority of the political and corporate elite...while they keep us as divided as they can. I simply refuse to play their game anymore.

What we do have is a government of LAWS that is also a government of despotism. What we NEED is a government of justice...not "laws". Here is what is planned under Martial "law". http://www.libertyforlife.com/jail-police/us_concentration_camps.htm

Sadly our nations are now run by bureacrats with an agenda of stonewalling your every effort. Turning us into nations of "permit holders". An education policy of divorcing children from the authority of their parents and to recognize the state as the ultimate authority. A graduated unapportioned tax system keeping you poor and under control. Big business "regulated" by government. (fascism) A fiat (counterfeit) currency. Laws for the sake of enforcemnet turning individuals into criminals.... Damned straight the system is broken...or working beautifully depending on how high up the ladder you happen to be. In either version...the whole thing is run by gangsters, not statesmen. Stalin would be so proud.

Is it time to exercise that right yet?

I would take this a step further..."Its the highest duty of every patriot to keep his goverment in check." I don't know who said that.

Non Intervention as opposed to World Cop...what a concept.

My guess is that George probably wasn't in favor of a Welfare / Warfare state.
