Truth vs. Hysteria

Ancient History

Mug Shot

Here are the headlines copied directly from Drudge, July 14, 2013 - the day after the Zimmerman "not guilty" verdict:

It looks as if the media and our political and cultural "leaders" think we're still living in the land of To Kill a Mockingbird - fiction when it was published in 1960. Some of those headlines are downright disgusting, e.g., AP REPORTER: 'SO WE CAN ALL KILL TEENAGERS NOW?' Hey AP Reporter (reporter?!), the jury saw all of the evidence that was presented in the case. The prosecutor and the defense gave their best arguments. The judge was not impartial, and there is evidence that she was being pressured by the Obama regime, of all things. Traditionally, American jurisprudence has held that a man is innocent until proven guilty. If this is what now passes for impartiality in our government, then Houston, we have a problem.

Even with all the pressure, the jury voted to acquit. In other words, they could not vote with a clear conscience, that George Zimmerman had murdered Trayvon Martin with malice and forethought. Hell, they couldn't even bring themselves to assume, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Zimmerman was guilty of manslaughter. The self-defense defense must have been remarkably compelling.

So no, we cannot all kill teenagers now. But maybe if a hulking grown man who hasn't quite reached the age of 20 starts slamming your head into concrete, and bloodies your nose, with no sign of stopping any time soon, you can shoot him. But you'd better still expect the hassle of your life, and don't expect impartiality under the current regime.

Now if George's name had been Georgia, and if she'd saved her own life by plugging Trayvon with that same nine, then the press, the race hustlers, and the regime would have been presented with an interesting dilemma.

So now that Zimmerman has stood trial for murder and been aquitted:
Apparently the U.S Justice Department has decided to look into the possibly of putting him on trial again for something under 'civil rights' scrutiny law or whatever.
Motivation stemming from screaming people who can't stand the legal system working per law and not happy with the outcome putting political PC (?) popular opinion pressure on high/higher authority to decide and or force the notion now that the feds must prejudge a level of guilt of somekind and then form a super level legal hit squad to again try to drop the hammer of 'justice' on this citizen? My Dad was an ATJA a bunch of times during WWII so he hammered a few things into me growing up, thank you Dad.
If I ever attack someone whatever the lead-up they have the right to defend themselves with deadly force because I might intend to kill them end of story. That's the chance I take in going to ballistic combat with another human being. Martin attacked Zimmerman at some point and died as a result. No one forced him to attack, his choice, his risk, he paid with his life.
Zimmerman took out the threat with deadly force when push came to pull getting his head bashed into the concrete or whatever.
He stood trial for murder and was aquitted by a jury. Gameover. Done.
As far as I am concerned, please correct me if I am smoking crack here but that is the end of it because of a HUGE LEGAL thing called DOUBLE JEPARDY.
OK I'LL SHUT UP NOW.
Good luck to all of us and America these days.

The Only Question You Need

"Which article of the Constitution gives government the authority to do that?"

If more and more people start asking this question, I think most of our worst political problems, in all branches and all levels of government would go away by themselves, almost overnight. When a reporter asked Nancy Pelosi that question about the healthcare bill, her deer-in-the-headlights response was, "Are you serious?" Well, we are serious, and politicians should be afraid to step out of their offices without a credible answer to that question. It is the only "litmus test" that we need.

It really takes so little effort, that it is at least worth a try. The beauty of it is, this really should appeal to honest people from anywhere on the political spectrum.

Uphold and Defend

Big government and bad policy, usurpation of authority not granted in the US Constitution is human nature. Republicans and Democrats are both guilty. We the People must realize that this is not a partisan issue, and demand that all of our politicians follow the Constitution.

The US Constitution is still the official specification for the United States of America.
It guarantees equal justice for all, and protects your life, liberty and prosperity.
Any regime that distorts or disregards its original intent is untrustworthy and dangerous.

Presidential Quotes

The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. ~ Thomas Jefferson

With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators. ~ James Madison

I think we can say that the Constitution reflected an enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on to this day and that the Framers had that same blind spot. I don't think the two views are contradictory to say that it was a remarkable political document, that paved the way for where we are now, and to say it also reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day. ~ Barack Obama

Every word [of the Constitution] decides a question between power and liberty. ~ James Madison

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington

Do You Still Have All of the Liberty That You Were Born With?

Think back to when you were growing up. What things could you do then that you can no longer do now? What things did you have the liberty to decide for yourself that is now a mandate? How many federal, state and local laws were passed since you were born? How many new bureaucracies and agencies have been created since you were born? How many new regulations have they imposed? How many tax increases have you seen in your lifetime? How many new government programs have replaced your ability to do it yourself? (more...)
