First Amendment Under Fire

A city in Florida is actually fining a man $500.00 a day for posting the words of the First Amendment on his building.

Florida city 'spitting in veterans' faces'

Most of you will find this a little funny but I, for one, find it terrifying. Think about what a government would do if it is willing to fine someone for displaying the very words of our Constitution that protect his right to speak. The irony is almost unbearable. How far would such a government go under the cover of night? How far would it go if it gets away with this garbage?

You should fear any government that would oppress its people in bold defiance of the very document from which it derives its power. This is funny on some level, but it is far more terrifying on the surface. No truly free country would even consider this kind of oppression, let alone actually doing it openly and flagrantly.

Hopefully, the tyrannical arrogance of Clearwater Florida will be defeated rather than spread to other city governments.

This kind of tyranny is why I started this blog and it is why I shall never allow my own voice to be silenced. Indeed, the harder any tyranny tries to silence my voice, the louder it will become.

Good Bye Security and Freedom

IT'S HERE!!!

The FAILED assault weapons ban is back. Is anyone surprised? No. I thought not.

One funny part of the article is the reason for re-instituting the ban. MEXICO. Seriously, Mexico.

"Mexican government officials have complained that the availability of sophisticated guns from the United States have emboldened drug traffickers to fight over access routes into the U.S."

That is one of the funniest things I have ever read. Mexico is complaining about American guns flooding into Mexico. Am I the only one who gets the irony here? A country that is so corrupt that its criminals flee by the millions and commit crimes in our country and THEY are complaining that it is our "sophisticated" guns that cause crime in their country???

Where am I? If this is not Bizarro World then I am either lost or certifiably insane.

You Now Owe Obama $62,000.00!!!

The Obama stimulus package will cost the average taxpayer $62,000, if you paid it today.

Considering that the stimulus package is only the tip of the Obama spending iceberg and that you are repaying the stimulus money over time with interest, a paltry $62000.00 looks silly in comparison to the real cost.

Obama has literally enslaved you, your children, and your grandchildren.

Even setting aside the ludicrous uses of the stimulus money, the sheer amount of your personal burden should outrage you. If not, nothing will.

California is Stealing from its Own People

California is stealing taxpayers' refunds!!!

This is fantastic. First of all, most people who get refunds are really getting a windfall. For them not to get that windfall is just simple justice. For those who actually paid some taxes and they are being deprived of their rightful overpayment, that is simple injustice. The simple reality here, however, is that income taxes are the epitome of injustice. Indeed, taxing a person's income is not simply unjust; it is evil

What really matters here though are those withheld refunds from the people who did not even pay taxes. Those people, the serfs with their greedy, lazy, unwashed hands out, will be the source of the any civil unrest over this issue. Their outrage for not having other peoples' income redistributed to them will cause outrage. There will be some outrage over the stolen overpayments too but those people are hard-working, family oriented, and clean themselves they won't riot over the issue. They will sue however.

My predictions if California actually holds these refunds for a year or more.

1. People whose "refunds" were actually more than they paid in taxes will gather and demonstrate and possibly even riot.
2. California will change its tax code or pass some other law allowing it to keep the refunds permanently.
3. Even after passing a law to allow it to keep the refunds permanently, California will still give "refunds" to those who who never actually paid taxes. It is only the actual overpayments of those who paid that will be kept. Redistribution of wealth will NEVER shrink. Duh.

One final point. Income tax is theft pure and simple. But, when the government violates its own oppressive and confiscatory laws like California has done you know real tyranny is right over your shoulder.

Gun Owner Licensing H.R. 45

I warned you that gun owner licensing was coming. Well here it is.

http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=4329

It is time to choose. Will you license yourself with the federal government and be subject to revocation, harassment, confiscation, imprisonment, and death? Or, will you refuse to license and risk the same?

Buckle up people; I smell a war.
