The Neutering of a Father

On Thursday the 7th, 2016 in Brooklyn, NY, a group of young men – thugs really – gang raped an 18 year old woman. As heinous as this crime is, the story itself is much darker. It has been reported that

one of the teens threatened the father with a gun, ordering him to leave. When the father left to get help, that’s when investigators said the teens took turns raping his daughter.

This is the result of gun control. This is what happens when the government takes away your second amendment right. According to the Far Left Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, New York has some of the strictest gun control measures in the nation. The state maintains a database similar to the national one Barak Obama has recently proposed. In addition, it can take up to six months to get a license to even purchase a gun. Storage laws require that firearms are locked away when not in use, and laws require that all firearm sales to be processed through a licensed dealer. One cannot even purchase ammunition without passing a background check! These are but a few examples of the draconian laws which the state of New York has in place, but they did not save this young lady from a lifetime of torture as she will carry this experience with her to her grave.

These thugs, all of whom are under the age of 18, did not obtain a gun purchasing license. They did not purchase the firearm through legal outlets. They did not obey any laws to obtain it. Yet as all criminals do, they came to have possession of a deadly weapon. The father,  in obeying the hellish state laws, did not have a firearm. When he and his daughter were cornered, one of the thugs pointed a gun at his head and told him to leave. Although many of us would debate his decision to do so, it cannot be argued that he was unarmed and not in a position of strength. As he left to get help, his daughter was gang raped by the four teens. When the father finally returned with the police, the men were long gone. As the saying goes, the Police are only minutes away...

In addition to the trauma that this young woman must endure for the rest of her life, her father must live with the shame of not being able to protect her. A father should be trusted as the ultimate guardian, especially when it comes to his daughter. I cannot fathom the horror he must feel at not being able to do the one thing all men are hard wired to do – protect their loved ones.

If this man had been carrying, I guarantee you that he would have at least fought back. Yet these thugs knew he was unarmed. They knew that they had the upper hand. They knew that the father was impotent to protect the apple of his eye.

Guns do not kill people. Guns do not commit crimes. Evil people do. Unfortunately in some situations, the only way to stop those who wish to do you or your loved ones harm is through deadly force. The rabid Left is as much to blame for this young woman's rape as the rapists themselves, for they took away the victims' ability to defend themselves.

At the same time, these rabid Leftists want the United States to import thousands of so called “refugees” from Islamic lands. There are already numerous reports from all over Europe where these wolfs in sheep clothing are causing untold harm to the native citizens. Rapes, thefts, violence, and all other sorts of crime are being committed by these Muslim “refugees.”

Saudi Arabia and other gulf states will not accept the “refugees.” Why not? Because they know that Islamic cells have planted terrorists among them, and that no background check of any kind will reveal who has intentions to cause harm, and who is simply fleeing war. It is also interesting to note that the refugees are not coming solely from Syria, but from all over the Middle-East. They do not come with the intent to assimilate to their new hosts' culture, but to live off the fat of the socialist nations' welfare.

In America, the Left want us disarmed while we are being invaded. The Left wants us neutered to the point where we can no longer protect ourselves or our loved ones. The Left salivates at the thought of the destruction of Western civilization and the dissolution of our beloved nation. It is beyond time that we stand up and shout, “No!” We must disobey – peacefully, all orders by the elites that are contrary to our Constitutional rights. The truth is, those who have the power in this nation surround themselves and their families with armed body guards, and barricade their mansions with brick walls topped with razor wire. They are protected. Their loved ones are protected. Yet they could care less about us. Those who are in power only have the power that we give them. Its time to take that power back. Its time for us to protect ourselves and our families. Its past time to say, “Enough!”

Lock and load!

Military Police in Civilian Life

Folks, this is kinda scary.  It seems that the Air Force lead a raid against a gun store today in search of "stolen material" that supposedly isn't related to weaponry.  Regardless of the reason, the military has no purpose what so ever of policing civilians.  The rule of law has been broken, and this worries me.  Is this just a "fluke" thing, or are we going to see more stuff like this in the future?

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV)- We're learning more on why the U.S. Air Force raided a local gun store Friday. They say it wasn't guns they were looking for.

An official from the Air Force is speaking to Action News about that raid. New information clarifies that this may have been an inside job, and the penalties could turn out to be very severe.

It was an afternoon that rocked businesses near Dean Martin and Flamingo. Local and federal law enforcement agencies swarmed in and served search warrants on Citadel Gun and Safe.

New information gives us an insight on the massive raid that up until now, authorities were tight lipped about. Turns out it was the Air Force Office of Special Investigations that led the raid.

"They went in there and did in fact find stolen air force military property that was stolen from Nellis Air Force Base," says Linda Card with the Air Force OSI.

Metro lent a hand as well as the FBI, ATF, and ICE. The recovered material though would not have posed a danger to regular people, says the Air Force.

"It did not include weapons, guns, explosives of any kind, bombs, nothing like that. It was basic stolen military property," says Card. Read it all

  It also worries me that a gun shop was involved.  We know how liberals feel about the 2nd amendment... was this part of a scare tactic?

Corruption Within the Ranks

I am by no means an anarchist.  For a nation to survive, it needs to be guided by rational laws, enforced in every situation. That enforcement falls to the men and women who wear the badge - to "enforce the peace."  Yet what happens when those who enforce the law begin to act like bullies?

My Views on Foreign Policy – a Deeper Examination

A couple articles back, I wrote about a local Town Hall event where those who attended met Chick Heilson. In it I mentioned my opinions of the event, and why I would not support him. First off, let me be clear that I consider him a far better person for office then what we currently have serving. However, there are some positions that he has taken which I simply cannot support. One of them is his position on foreign policy. Concerning it, I said:

As well, his stance of being friendly with all nations but in alliance with none is, in my strong opinion, dangerously isolationist and unwise. That position may have served America well before the 20th century, but in today’s world of faster then sound travel, mass communication and weapons of mass destruction, American cannot afford to “go it alone.” As well, America must actively support the few remaining free nations in the world. To not do so will ultimately bring destruction upon the world and America herself.

This afternoon, I attended a local gathering of Patriots for a class on the Constitution. It occurs every Thursday from noon to 1pm. Today’s lesson centered on foreign policy. While our founding fathers were quoted (such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and others), no strict Constitutional law was. It was more of a meeting based on a particular version of conservative opinion. In this one instance, I am going to have to disagree with what was presented. The following will be my reasoning as to why.

George Washington’s farewell address covered a few different issues. The first, and primary, would be his explanation for refusing a third term to office. Another issue concerns the conditions of the Union and his encouragement to the members of such. Yet another concerned Patriotism and conduct towards other nations. It is regarding his comments on what we now call “foreign policy” that I wish to pay particular attention.

Many people such as Ron Paul point out a comment Washington made concerning how the United States should keep a neutral position towards other nations. Washington exhorted us to not favor any particular one, but to:

Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all.

He also stated:

In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated.

Washington’s reasoning is sound and wise. Yet one thing is never mentioned concerning his farewell address. People are quick to bring up his exhortation to stay neutral, but fail to mention his other exhortation. He stated:

`Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; - emphasis mine

George Washington knew that there would come a time where it would be impractical to remain completely neutral. There would be times when America would have to remove herself from her “isolationist shell” and form alliances. Yet even with that he warned:

Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establishments, on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.

As well:

The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be inferred, without any thing more, from the obligation which justice and humanity impose on every nation, in cases in which it is free to act, to maintain inviolate the relations of peace and amity towards other nations.

During his time, weapons of mass destruction were unknown. Travel was done either via foot, horseback or ship. Mountain ranges and oceans were true boundaries that were difficult to overcome. In a very real sense, the world was closed off. The United States itself found it’s eastern and southern boundaries protected by the Atlantic Ocean. To the west and north were vast landmasses - not heavily populated. Neutrality was an excellent stance, and one that America should attempt to adhere to, as much as possible, in this day and age.

Yet the dawn of the 20th century brought about an industrial revolution. Suddenly, ships that were powered by the wind (and sometimes coal) now were able to access diesel fuel. As such, the capabilities of ocean going traffic increased immensely. Motorized vehicles soon found themselves dominating horse and train travel. Then, the aircraft was invented.

Almost 100 years later, America’s involvement in the first World War is still a topic of debate. It revolves around whether or not America should have joined with the allies. Some propose the case that our involvement only increased the duration of the war and it’s casualties. Others proclaim that it was a necessary “evil.” Regardless of current opinions, the facts are that America did indeed join in this war.

After the war, the United States found itself entering the Great Depression. This was a very trying time for the country, and it’s resilience was tested in a way never before experienced. Yet her strong citizens persevered. America, however, did remain active in the world arena of politics.

Yet world politics were changing. Fascism was raising it’s ugly head in Europe, and Communism was finding a foothold in Russia. Japan was experiencing it’s own industrial revolution and was fast becoming a power to be acknowledged.

Technology was advancing in leaps in bounds. Aircraft were becoming faster and more powerful. Battleships soon became national symbols of pride, and Germany advanced submarine technology. Suddenly, the world was much smaller – and more dangerous.

Germany, still hurting from it’s loss in the first World War, was looking for a way to regain it’s national pride. It wanted to expand it’s territory, and at the same time, remove “undesirables.” In 1939, it launched a blitzkrieg offensive, effectively starting World War 2.

During this time, Japan was seeking to increase it’s military and industrial power. Yet, as it is an island nation, lacked the natural resources for this to happen. So Japan began to look elsewhere and laid it’s eyes upon China. It too launched a military campaign of conquest, and committed many horrible atrocities against the Chinese.

During this time, Great Britain went to the defense of it’s ally, France, as the German war machine continued it’s unstoppable advance. In a secret pact, America agreed to supply England in it’s war effort. While doing this, it also imposed sanctions on Japan. America would not support it’s brutal war on China.

In response, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941. This action brought the United States fully into the war. During which, many nations were freed from the grips of dictators.

During World WW II, technology advanced in leaps and bounds. Jet aircraft were finding their wings in the sky, and the power of the atom was realized. America emerged as a world super power with a robust economy and large military force. Some say that the war actually helped rescue America from the Great Depression.

As well, the return of Israel as a nation became a reality. While during the purges of Hitler and Stalin many people of differing backgrounds were slaughtered, it was the Jews who bore the brunt. The vow of “never again” became the rally cry of Jews throughout the world. After thousands of years, the nation of Israel was reborn with the United States being the first country to recognize it’s right to exist.

Most people are aware of the history since then, so I do not feel it necessary to delve into it. Suffice it to say, technology advances have continued to increase in leaps and bounds. Space is no longer an unattainable goal, while the power of the atom was fully realized. The sound barrier was broken, and with the advent of electronics and the information age, it is now a common occurrence to communicate with others from the far side of the world.

Yet with all of this has come increased dangers. We no longer live in an isolated society. Weapons of Mass Destruction are, unfortunately, a reality. Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East and is constantly under attack. Islamic fascism has reared it’s ugly head and seems hell bent on world domination. With all of this going on, it is fool hardy for the few remaining free nations to “go it alone.” This, I feel, is what Washington was referring to when he commented on America staying neutral for as long as she was at liberty to do so. America is no longer at such a liberty.

Though in truth, we should cut ties with the United Nations and NATO. We should not have our soldiers in over a hundred different countries acting as a police force. We should not be surrendering our national sovereignty in any form, be it militarily or economically. Yet to leave countries such as Israel to fend for themselves is criminal.

As well, it is very unwise to think that we can be friends with all nations. A common saying in personal relationships is that you can never make everyone happy all the time. This also includes international relations. The Islamic threat is very real, as well as threats from rogue nations such as North Korea. China is as a dragon that has woken up, and Communism is still a very strong threat. We must not think that through dialogue or the giving of “gifts” that we can obtain their favor. Indeed no. As the world is no longer isolated, free nations must band together for survival. To do so otherwise will ultimately lead to the demise of America and freedom herself.

This is what we need!

My last entry, which caused an exodus of subscribers from my blog, was very blunt. In it, I chastised Americans for not doing more for their freedoms. I also chastised military personal for allowing dictatorship to take over. I won't back down from these charges. In fact, I'll go further.

Why are we in the position we're in today? Because Americans as a whole are lazy. Since the 60's, we gave up our parental rights when we allowed the communists in public schools to raise our kids. Now that's come home to bite us. Those kids and their descendants are now the ones in power. That is why B.O. doesn't have to worry about protests. Every year, thousands of communist clones in schools are suddenly eligible to vote. They can't think for themselves, and are too concerned with immediate gratification then with long term consequences. Parents, you have yourselves to blame.

Yet it is not too late! If parents can stop worrying about paying for all these big toys such as boats, expensive cars, mansions and the like, they can start putting their focus back on their children. A good way to start is by home schooling. Give them a better education they could ever hope to get in a public institution, and in addition, instill your values in them! If you are in a situation where it is simply impossible (no matter what sacrifice you're willing to make), then join your school board. Speak up and don't let these communists ruin yet another generation of children! For those of you who have grown children, it is still not too late to talk to them and show them the meaning of patriotism. Explain to them hard work, dedication, family values and let them know that having sex outside of a committed relationship will only lead to destruction!

As far as the military goes, well there are those who will stand up for freedom. They are known as the Oath Keepers. Their mission statement follows:

Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, reserves, National Guard, veterans, Peace Officers, and Fire Fighters who will fulfill the Oath we swore, with the support of like minded citizens who take an Oath to stand with us, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God. Our Oath is to the Constitution.

Recently, as reported on reviewjournal.com and referenced by Drudge,

"The whole point of Oath Keepers is to stop a dictatorship from ever happening here," Rhodes, a former Army paratrooper and Yale-trained lawyer, said in an interview with the Review-Journal. "My focus is on the guys with the guns, because they can't do it without them.

"We say if the American people decide it's time for a revolution, we'll fight with you."

Orders their members will not obey - orders that they encourage all military, police and firemen to disobey are as follows:

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.

2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people

3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.

4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.

5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.

6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.

7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.

8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control."

9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.

10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

America, we need parents to actually begin to care about their children. We need military, police and firemen to stand up for what is right. We need civilians who are willing to sacrifice all for Freedom's Cause. Are you up to the task?
