The Founders on the Source of Rights and an Essential Reading List

Rights Are Not Gifts from Government. They don’t come from a constitution, a bill of rights, or any document at all. Natural rights come from your creator and are inherent to your humanity. Even civil rights are built upon this foundation. The founders and old revolutionaries widely embraced these principles. Starting with the Declaration of Independence, … Read more

How Do You Ban Something Constitutional?

In the comments of a recent post on attempts to ban guns at polling places, a reader asked what seems like a pretty simple question:  How can one ban something that is constitutional? Here’s the short answer to that:  You ban it, let people bitch while they get used to it, and then move on … Read more

Imagine, if you will…

Imagine, if you will, a government funded by user fees instead of by taxes.

Are you being defended? The defense department can send you a bill for that. Is Congress doing something for you? It can send you a bill for that.

My DNA is my Permit

I used to be on the fence about the idea of ‘intellectual property rights’ until, by chance, I heard a comment from one of the leaders of the Swedish Pirate Party:  You know that something can’t be a right if it expires.

It’s America That’s Exceptional, Not Americans

I was recently talking to a friend who moved from Israel to America about 30 years ago.  He’s been building a career, raising a family — basically living the American dream. He said that one of the reasons he wanted to come here was that he grew up hearing about ‘American exceptionalism’.

Locke’s third chapter is on the State of War. It is an expository on the concept presented in the previous chapter regarding when one individual broaches another’s right to life, liberty and property. In the Of the State of Nature, we learned that one person broaches another’s natural rights he declares himself an enemy to … Read more

Whose rights are they

Natural rights. What are they? How do you know what they are? Where do they come from? Whose rights are they and what is governments role with regard to them?

Has a REVOLVER. Shoots Intruder 5 times. Hits six times. He’s still moving. Know what the problem was?

Revolvers are what the gun grabbers wish to reduce us to – if even that.”

While the weak-kneed gun grabbers are all thinking that eliminating guns is the answer comes this story that should make themselves grovel in front of this lady; from Loganville, GA:

A woman hiding in her attic with children shot an intruder multiple times before fleeing to safety Friday.

The incident happened at a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around 1 p.m. The woman was working in an upstairs office when she spotted a strange man outside a window, according to Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman. He said she took her 9-year-old twins to a crawlspace before the man broke in using a crowbar.

But the man eventually found the family.

More has come out since then – she was in a closet with her kids in the attic and was on the phone with her husband when Mr. Scumbag broke in (her husband was the one that called 911).  Just like those teachers in Sandy Hook (and yes, since the Progressives decided to “not let a tragedy go waste” and make it political, I am perfectly fine in “returning fire”).  Just like Adam Lanza, this scumbag man forcibly broke.  No, he wasn’t there merely to burgle the place – if so, he would have been in and out without looking for a conflict.  No, his purpose was to hunt her and her kids down.  Evil personified.  A man against a woman and two little girls – as the Libs say, as the FEMINISTS say, a power inequality existed.  The three females were about to be toast, just like those first graders.  Yet, Progressives believe in their heart of hearts (and tops of their craniums) that they can “perfect” even an evil scumbag of a man.

Oh wait!
