Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I've fallen down on the job. I haven't been posting like I should. Well, hopefully, I'll be able to form some coherent thought soon. Every time I think about that Feinstein creature, I just.......AARRRGHHH!!!!
Well, Have a good day. May the luck of the Irish be with you.

No time for a real post...

Blogger's been a real pain the last couple of days or so, hence, no new posts. Right now, I'm short on time.
I will say that the White House needs to do something about our borders. It's a damn shame when citizens have to do a job the government can't (or won't) do.
I speak of the minuteman project.

No real post for today.....

I'm feeling overwhelmed by governmental stupidity....

It's my web space, and I'll blog if I want to....

About any damn thing I want to...
The 1st amendment is as sacred to me as the 2nd. They can have my keyboard when they pry it from my pasty, sun-deprived fingers, as my weakened eyes peer feebly at the sunlight pouring in through my shattered front door.
Anyone who voted in favor of this abomination is an enemy of the people, and should (at minimum) be cast out of office.
The FEC can kiss my ass. What I write is none of their business. If I want to support a candidate with my blog, I will. If I want to stand up as yet another voice to remind the world that Hilary Clinton is a troglodyte, I'll do just that. And nobody in Washington , D.C. will stop me.

Some thoughts on the war on drugs....

The "War On Drugs" has been the root cause of our governments erosion of The Bill Of Rights. It is pointless, wasted effort, and a failed attempt to legislate morality. Simply put, it doesn't work. Go to your local high school, and ask the students there which is easier to obtain, tobacco, or crank. They will undoubtedly give the answer that crank is by far, the easier of the two for them to score. The reason for this is that tobacco is legal, and therefore strictly regulated. Shopowners make consistent efforts not sell to minors, because big daddy government imposes strict penalties for sale to minors. Same case with alcohol.
Back when I was in high school, everybody had pot and crank for the weekend parties, but beer and hard liquor was darn hard to come by. We couldn't buy it on street corners, we had to find somebody sympathetic to our cause.
The war on drugs, as well as the war on guns, have racism as their root cause. White men were afraid their women would be lured to opium dens, where they would sleep with Chinese men. Tales of Negro men driven into a fury by cocaine were the sensational media stories of the day.
Having said that, if you're growing weed, knowing it's illegal, it's just plain stupid to be running a chop shop on the premises.
Law Dog, how many times have you caught drug users or people with warrants due to expired reg, or busted taillights, etc? If your state is remotely similar to CA, I'd bet on the answer being often.
If you're doing something you know is illegal, fair or not, infringement on liberty or not, it is up to you to avoid being caught. This requires that you not do stupid stuff.
If I were to decide not to get my CCW, and carry despite that, because it is my right, I certainly wouldn't be driving around with expired reg, nor would I be causing public disturbances, or any of a hundred other things I have seen tweakers do which caused them to be arrested.
My own family has been torn by drug abuse. My sister (now 37) has lived with my parents since she was 26. The last time she held a job was when she was 26. Her husband and 3 children live with them as well. My sister and her husband choose to use crank, rather than be productive members of society. My mother and father enable this behavior through their finacial support. After 10 years of watching my parents being pulled into a hole, I chose to diassociate myself from my family. My daughter will never see her grandmother, grandfather, or aunt again. She will never have the feelings of embarrassment I have had my entire life when looking at my family.
In contrast to this, is my former Gothi (equivalent to a priest) . He is a recreational pot user. He smokes every morning and every night, as well as some occasions between. He is a pillar of the community, and holds down a full time job outside of the church. To speak with him, you would never know he uses.
Myself, I don't see the attraction, and I have no sympathy for those like my sister. I feel users should bear full responsibility for their actions, just as alcoholics do if they mow someone down while driving.

It seems clear to me.....

What our Founding Fathers had in mind.

Seems as though some of our Congresscritters have trouble with reading comprehension.

The McCain-Feingold Act....

Sucks, and is completely at odds with the basis of our Constitutional Republic.
It has inspired me to start a blog. Which I really needed to do anyway, for the purpose of rants on other government infringement on Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. Notice I did not say Constitutionally granted? The Constitution merely affirms and enumerates certain rights. Nobody grants any rights to a free man.
More to come later, on McCain-Feingold, as well as views on some other pet issues of mine.
