Marine Cpl’s Letter To Sen. Feinstein About Her Proposed “Assult” Weapons Legislation.

January 9, 2013

Senator Dianne Feinstein,

I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.

I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.

I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.

I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.

We, the people, deserve better than you.

Respectfully Submitted,
Joshua Boston

The Government’s continual interventions into the life of individuals is reaching a point where people are starting to push back or threaten non compliance. As Government grows, its tentacles  start to reach more and more areas of our lives. As more people are affected by Government regulations, each individual reaches a point where they decide that they have had enough. It is not the last straw that breaks the camels back, it is the accumulation of all the incremental straws, combined with the last straw that breaks the camels back, this is the law of marginal utility, read more here. Each individual has a different level of tolerance before he will push back against what is pushing against him. (more…)

Fiscal Cliff or Political Theater?

“All the world is a stage and all the men and  women merely players:….Shakespeare.    Remember this quote when analysing anything involving   politics.

Human action is purposeful behavior. Action is not simply verbal preference, it is the individual choosing and acting to reach a particular end. What is the particular end the actors on the “fiscal cliff” stage are trying to attain? If you say making themselves and their political party look good, and making the opposing politicians and party look bad, you have a keener insight into the plot of this play than 90% of the audience these political performers are playing to. This is all about assigning blame for the economic problem we are in, and trying to maneuver into position to take credit for any upturn in the economy, or assign more blame to the other party if it gets worse. What you are watching is not economic reality but political theater. You have to dig below the political surface and look at the underlying economic realities, in order (more…)

Government Intervention And It’s Consequences.

December 5, 2012

I found this video on EconomicPolicyJournal.com, it is by Nick Gogerty at gogerty.com. You will visually see the inflating of the housing bubble caused by Federal Reserve money printing. You will also see the bursting of the housing bubble, a bubble which would have never been created in the first place, if not for the Fed’s money pumping.

A toxic brew of, 1)  Government mandating lower lending standards, 2) the Federal Reserve printing the funding for these loans, and 3) the artificial lowering of interest rates because of this counterfeiting, created mortgages that could not possibly be paid back. Banks got bailed out by the Federal Reserve’s purchase of mortgage-backed securities through (more…)

The Economic’s of Health Care vs. The Right to Health Care.

October 9, 2012

This clip, by Illinois state senate candidate Dr. Barbara Bellar, makes you think about the realities which lie ahead, with the implementation of “The Affordable Care Act” aka. “Obama Care”. She states the reality of the situation, then asks, and we all should have asked, “what could possibly go wrong?” Here is another example of a Government solution in search of a problem, a problem which was created by Government in the first place.

Is health care a right? No! Health care is a good or service, provided in the market just like (more…)
