Since of the recent event in Colorado and then the idiotic suggestion proffered by Mr. Bloomberg (Mayor of New York City), and the multitude of article that have come out in virtually every side of the discussion, the following stands so tall among the others that those others are not worthy of comment.

The following article, which can be found at…

The Other (not so) Thin Line

Gary Hunt

Outpost of Freedom

July 5, 2012

There is a very thin line between what we believe to be our rights and what the government believes our rights are.  Unfortunately, that line continues, either by police action or court decisions, to move against us, allowing even greater power and control over our lives by the government.

There is another line that we might want to consider, though this line tends to…

July 4, in the Year of our Lord, 2012, and, of our Independence, 236

As we enter the 236th year of our Independence, perhaps it is time to reflect upon that which was achieved so many years ago, and, what has transpired since that time.

It was just a month before that when the Continental Congress had suggested that all of the colonies create new governments.  Two colonies revised their…

There were limitations of, and grants of, authority given to the federal government. And, by the Tenth Amendment, those powers not granted were…

February 23, 2012

A while back, I wrote an article, The Three Boxes, about the loss of both ballot and jury boxes, tools intended by the Framers, which allowed the people a degree of protection and redress against usurpation of un-granted (unconstitutional) powers by the government.  A comment I received regarding that article was the proclamation, "We…

When Johnny Comes Marching Home...

December 22, 2011

The well known song, :When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again", a song of praise and gratitude that gained popularity in this country during the Civil War, derived from an Irish anti-war song ("Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye") from about 1820.  At the end of both World Wars, the song came back to us as our victorious soldiers returned from Europe, and in the Second, Asia.

Utilizing factions for political purposes

Factions

Factions are rather interesting, though often ignored by most, in the world we live in.  Factions are "somebody else", and we, individually, have no part in them, except those that we are a part of -- though we don't really see them as factions, only…

So, we have established that "rights" were not conveyed by the Fourteenth Amendment, only "privileges and immunities".  Or, have we?  Of course, to this point, it is only words and omission of words that can lead us to that conclusion.

Understand, however, that the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and early legislation was written so that all could understand what was…

In the first part, Justice Taney [Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who delivered the Decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1856)], speaking from the past, explained who was, and, who was not of that class of people known as "We the People.  Recapping that post:
