Justice Ginsburg, President Trump, and SCOTUS

19 September 2020

While I disagreed with many of Justice Ginsburg’s positions on her opinions, I respected her. I offer my sincere condolences to her family and pray they find peace.

President Trump should fulfill his duty under Article 2, Constitution of the United States and nominate an Associate Justice to the Supreme Court of the United States. This DOES NOT mean said nominee will be confirmed as this task falls to the United States Senate.

The Democrats cannot stop the Republicans from confirming a Trump nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. This is because Harry Reid (D-NV) did away with the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees when the Democrats held the majority in the United States Senate. This means with a 53|45|2 majority, ONLY the Republican Senators can stop confirmation.

I am seeing much speculation as to how this will play out in the US Senate and the talking heads are throwing several scenarios out into the airwaves this evening and the general consensus is a 50/50 split. With 3 Republicans (Collins (ME), Romney (UT), and Murkowski (AK)) voting with the minority along with the 2 Independents. With a 50/50 count, this means Vice President Pence, as the President of the Senate will cast the final tie-breaking vote to either confirm or reject President Trump’s nominee.

President Trump needs to nominate someone with more than just a passing familiarity of the Constitution of the United States. I would like to see someone like KrisAnne Hall, JD nominated. Someone passionate about the Constitution and understands what “Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States, from all enemies foreign and domestic” means. Not just lip service, but the unbridled passion I know a veteran has, not just for his country, but for his battle-buddy, shipmate, or wingman.

Term Limits, take 2

20 February 2018

Still seeing individuals advocating for term limits and picking some arbitrary number (12 years seems to be the norm here).  I won’t lay out my arguments again, as I believe they stand on their own.  Let me therefore, cast this forth upon the waters of the web and see what returns.

Several years ago, my workplace arranged a visit from Krisanne Hall and she spoke with us for some length about the 700-year history of our Constitution.  Yep, a 700-year history.

See, our Founding Fathers were not just a ragtag bunch of farmers, but were actually learned men.  They fled a monarchy and understood the dangers of a pure democracy.  They also understood liberty and freedom must be protected from those that would subvert it.

There is a vote every two years for your Congressional district, as well as all the rest. If your supposed representative doesn’t represent you, work to get him/her replaced. Encourage family and friends to get to the ballot box (by law, employers must allow sufficient time to vote). Vote your conscious, vote for the candidate of your choice, just vote.  We can do the same with the Senate.  We just need to watch them, keep in contact with them hold them accountable and show up at the ballot box.

I would never tell someone they must vote for candidate A or candidate B, that is not my place.  I do however, tell them they need to be an informed voter.  Learn about the issues, know your candidates’ stand on them.  Look at their voting records (it is a matter of public record).  We the People MUST hold our employees accountable.  And they are OUR employees and if they displease us, we are duty bound to replace them.

I tell the same thing to every person spouting for term limits. The issue is, the Congress of the United States will never limit themselves (duh) and IF a Convention of States is called, there is nothing to stop them from writing a new constitution.  We the People can fix this.  It will NOT be easy and there is no quick fix.  It took us over 100 years to get here and will likely take us another 100 years to correct this.  Do we have 100 years?  I don’t know, but I hope we can institute the changes required otherwise this Great Experiment called The United States of America will fail and we will have only ourselves to blame.

Lincoln once stated: “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

Until We the People take back control, we get the very government we deserve and the type of government the Founding Fathers abhorred.  Remember, we are NOT a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic, if we can keep it.

Term Limits and Why I Oppose Them

10 December 2017

There seems to be a lot of noise coming forth from the masses about the need for term limits for members of Congress.  While in theory, this is good, in practice it actually will hurt.  Allow me a chance to persuade you.

There are 435 Congressional Districts in the United States.  IF we get a Constitutional Amendment limiting the number of terms or years a Representative or Senator can serve, we are effectively abdicating our right to choose who represents us.  IF we allow a Constitutional Amendment, we have allowed the other 434 Congressional Districts a say in who can or can not represent us.  Why should you allow the people of California’s 1st Congressional District to determine who can represent you if you live in Missouri’s 4th Congressional District?  Yes, a Constitutional Amendment would force several Congressmen and Senators into retirement, many who should have retired years ago.

With the passage of the 17th Amendment, We the People allowed the several states to abdicate their protection from an overreaching central government.  As Senators are now elected by the people of the states, the Senate is no longer the representative of the State, but has become a second House of Representatives, just serving a longer term.  Leaving the several states with no protection.  Does anyone truly believe Senators McCain, Schumer, Durbin, Feinstein, McConnell et al would still be sitting members of the Senate if not for the 17th?

To fix the Senate, We the People MUST repeal the 17th Amendment.  To fix the House or Representatives, We the People MUST become informed and engaged with our Representative.  When they fail to represent the voters of their district, said voters must provide appropriate feedback.  The same goes for when they are doing what their constituency desires of them.  If they aren’t doing the job you HIRED them to do, work to replace them.  That is why members of the House are selected every two years.  The will of We the People must be heard.  Return the protection to the states from a too strong central government by advocating for repeal of the 17th Amendment.  Will it be easy?  Absolutely not.  Will it be worth it?  I believe so.

Don’t abdicate your RIGHT to choose who represents you in the House of Representatives by supporting a Constitutional Amendment for term limits.  Fight for your RIGHT to select the person you want to represent you.

Jeb was a popular governor here in the Sunshine State and he tried to parlay that into the White House.  I am glad to see him gone, not because he is a bad person, but because I believe he would be a bad president.

Good luck in your future endeavors, Mr. Bush.  But it’s time to leave politics and enter the private sector and fade.  Americans are generally tired of two families right now and you have the honor of being a member of one of them.

An Open Letter to

19 February 2016

Republican candidates for President of the United States.

Gentlemen;

I have watched with some amusement and much disgust at your behavior over the past year.  Here are a couple of observations you and your campaign staffs should attend to, and quickly.

First, at one point or another, while claiming to adhere to the principles of Reagan, you have all violated his 11th Commandment.  To wit: “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”  I don’t really care what makes you different from any other Republican.  I want to know what makes you different (other than the ‘R’ after your name) from the Democrat candidates.  

Second, be specific as to what your administration will do to solve some problems.  Compare your plan to the front runners in the Democratic Party.  Be sure to include what it will cost me.  What will my share of the bill be?  Will this cost me one dollar?  or will it cost me ten thousand dollars.  There is a big difference.  Don’t say it will cost six billion dollars because the average, hard working American taxpayer can not relate to a number that large.  

As one of those hard working Americans that also happen to be a Veteran, what will you do about the scandals at the Veterans Administration?  I believe, as stated by Thoreau in Civil Disobedience, “That government is best which governs least.”  What will you do to reduce the size of government?  How will you get the government out of my and every other Americans life? What will you do to keep the nation safe?  Not just militarily, but economically and culturally.

Might I also be so bold as to suggest you all get out your copy of the Constitution of the United States (you do keep a copy handy, right?) and read it.  Read it to understand what some very intelligent men approximately 229 years ago thought about “Governments are  instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…”  In other words, gentlemen, you are here to serve us, not the other way around.  You, are after all, the hired help.  We the People are tired, frustrated and ready to say “You’re FIRED!”

You Humble Scribe,

Sarge

Still Here

Hang on.  It’s about to get bumpy (well, bumpier anyways).  I’m working on a couple of things, so stay tuned.

The Evil, The Ignorant, The Delusional, and The Children

29 January 2013

Found this at a forum I frequent and the author has given permission to all who wish to repost to do so. 

(Originally posted at DefensiveCarry.com by user Sweatnbullets)  The thoughts and ideas are his, but I took the liberty to edit slightly for grammar and ease of reading. 

 I know some people are going to disagree with the tone of this article. Many people on the same side of the gun control issue as me are going to say that resorting to name calling is not the way to go. But when you look at how effective the same tactic has been used against the pro-gun supporters, it raises question about how efficient and effective our strategy and tactics have actually been. Pro-gun people have successfully been demonized by the anti-gun crowd and that crowd can be divided up into three groups, The Evil, The Ignorant, and The Delusional.

The Evil

The very worse of the three groups are The Evil. These are the people who have been voted in as public servants and who have sworn to uphold The Constitution. Yet, at every opportunity these evil servants have broken their oath and have time and time again voted themselves more power while taking the power away from those that they have sworn to serve. Often these evil moves come from a position of elitism. They believe they are better than the people they serve. They believe they are smarter than the people they serve. They believe they and their families are more important than those they swore to serve. They act as if they are doing what is best for us, all the while looting the people they serve of their rights and their freedoms. They have one goal in mind and that is to grab as much power as they can for themselves and the government they serve……….yes, the government they serve. See, The Evil do not serve the people, they serve themselves and they serve the government. They do not care about the people and to the exact same extent they do not care about The Children. How can The Evil ones care about The Children when they make it more and more difficult for a parent to protect their children, all the while guaranteeing armed security for their own children. This hypocrisy and elitism is the ultimate form of obvious evil.

It is an elitist attitude that reeks of a “I do not care if your children die due to your inability to protect them, but I will assure that my children are safe from the evils of this world” stench.

The problem with this attitude is the fact these elitist hypocrites are the ultimate evil in this world. They want to convince The Ignorant and The Delusional they care about children being killed when in fact they are actually creating a situation where even more children can possibly be killed. Most politicians are educated and know the history of America, The Constitution, and the historical evils tyrannical governments have perpetuated on its people. Far more children have been killed by tyrannical governments than by mentally ill people with assault weapons. Those numbers would not even be close. But once again it is not about “for the children” it is about using a tragedy to grab the power and when the public servants grab power for themselves, inherently that obtained power goes to the government. The Founding Fathers put The Second Amendment in place to protect the people from a tyrannical government and our public servants know that. A vote for gun control from our public servants is a vote for a tyrannical government, a vote against the Constitution, and a vote against our children. This is an undeniable evil and this evil is being perpetrated right now in this country. I am not saying there is going to be a genocide committed against the people of this country tomorrow. What I am saying is things are being put into place here have been put into places in the past that has led to a number of the most heinous genocides that this world as ever seen. These are historical facts and if you do not believe them you may want to do some research on gun control and the genocides that have followed. If you cannot rattle off at least five genocides of the past that followed strict gun control, your knowledge level may need a quick update. The information is out there for those that actually want to find it. Obviously, The Evil cannot do this all on their own, they need help from a very large group of useful idiots. These useful idiots can be public servants, the media, and the public at large. They may or may not fall in the category of The Evil because they may not be smart enough/knowledgeable enough to understand the evil they perpetrate. But even so, they are still on the side of evil and the tools of evil. These people fall into two groups, The Ignorant and The Delusional.

The Ignorant

The word “ignorance” is not an insult. Every one of us is ignorant about something. The Ignorant can be ignorant in many forms, but inside of this topic the three greatest forms of their ignorance comes down a lack of knowledge of America History, American Government, and World History.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” George Santayana.

The Ignorant have their ignorance used against them. But that can be curtailed by gaining the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions. The Evil want The Ignorant to remain ignorant so they can keep using them as the tools of evil. If The Evil can convince The Ignorant The Founding Fathers were bumbling buffoons that did not understand the advancement of technology, then The Ignorant can be convinced The Founding Fathers did not see the advent of assault rifles. If The Evil can convince The Ignorant The Second Amendment had nothing to do with making sure that the people can protect themselves from a tyrannical government, then The Ignorant would not mind Americans being disarmed. If The Evil can convince The Ignorant that just because the government disarmed its people does not make it a tyrannical government, then The Ignorant would not fear having Americans disarmed.

Ignorance can also be taken advantage of when crime statistics of disarmed societies are not spoken of. There is not one case of guns being taken and crime statistics not climbing. Criminals fear an armed public and as soon as it becomes a crime to own guns or to use a gun in self-defense the criminal element ramps up its attacks on the unarmed law abiding people. These are all facts that can be found if The Ignorant wants to move past being used as the tools of evil.

The Evil prey on The Ignorant. They lie and they deceive. They use and they abuse. The number of ignorant, throughout world history, that have helped The Evil commit unspeakable forms of brutality and genocide on their own people is astounding. Imagine the pain and the guilt of that betrayal. Imagine believing that you were doing the right thing (for the children) due to ignorance, only to find that you were on the side of evil all along and many more children paid with their lives due to your ignorance. That reality would have to be a fate worse than death. This is possibly happening right now in this country, things are being put into motion that can possibly lead to a tyrannical government ruling this country with an iron fist. I believe this to the extent that I am concerned about even writing this article.

Ignorance is not a curse, ignorance is not a death sentence, ignorance is something that can be eliminated with an open mind and the search for “the truth.” The Ignorant are like the undecided voter. They are the ones that will be the deciding factor in this gun control issue. They are the ones who will decide the children’s fate. Do we throw the baby out with the bath water and put into motion the likelihood of America turning into a tyrannical government? Or do we look at the facts of gun violence against the children and understand that a mentally ill individual with an assault rifle is not near the threat level of The Evil and a tyrannical government.

The Delusional

While ignorance can be educated, The Delusional cannot. The Delusional are those that do not deal or live in reality. They are the ones that believe that all guns can be rounded up and that would be the end of the threat against our children. They believe a “gun free zone” should extend throughout this country and that is the only answer to gun violence. This level of delusiveness completely baffles and escapes me. It is as if there is a form of mental illness that perpetuates a utopian dream that will simply never be part of the human experience. Man has perpetrated evil on man throughout the history of man and that is not going to change any time soon. The only people that comply with gun control laws are the good people. Evil people will not comply (and that is why the evil public servants have excluded themselves from the gun control laws.) That would mean the vast majority of the people that still had guns would be evil people. What part of this do they not understand? What level of delusiveness would you have to be in order to believe such obvious impossibilities? Are they really so blinded by their delusions and their lack of rational thought they are unable to see the facts of gun confiscation throughout the world, the effects on crime soaring, the historical governmental abuses, and genocide?

The only other group of people that would still have guns would be the good people that are willing to go to jail for the rest of their lives in order to protect their loved ones/children.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

I am pretty sure the delusional do not understand the above quote due to their obvious lack of rational. But, what we are talking about is a willingness to do anything to protect our loved ones and especially The Children.

I am sick and tired of The Evil, The Ignorant, and The Delusional using “for the children” as their excuse to destroy America. It is you…….The Evil, The Ignorant, and The Delusional that perpetrates and perpetuates the evil that endangers The Children and The Grand Children. Do not come at me with your outright lies, your fabrications, your agenda manipulation, and your politicizing of a tragedy to further your evil intent. You can preach your lie “for the children” but there is only one side of this fight that is truly about The Children and it is not the side of the Evil, The Ignorant, and The Delusional.

Where do you stand?  I stand for the children.  I support having trained, armed individuals in the school hallways, classrooms, and playgrounds.  I don’t want to hear of another school shooting, but I am afraid it will happen.  Maybe not today or tomorrow, but it is just a matter of time.  And I hope whoever is in the school when it happens has the means, training and will to stop the threat by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Tax Cuts for Dummies

17 September 2012

I have seen or heard the following several times over the last couple of years.  This is the first time I have seen it attributed .

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.  If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this…

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing

The fifth would pay $1

The sixth would pay $3

The seventh would pay $7

The eighth would pay $12

The ninth would pay $18

The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20″. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).

The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).

The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).

The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).

The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).

The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, ”but he got $10!”

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too.  It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”

“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

David R. Kamerschen, Ph.D. – Professor of Economics.

If you look at those numbers, you will see that of the 10 men, in round numbers, 40% of them pay nothing for their beer.  10 % pay only 1% of the tab, in this case a dollar.  10% pays about 3%, 10% pays 7%, 10% pays 12% of the total.  If you’re keeping track, we now have 4 men or 40% of the people paying approximately 23% of the bill.  When you add the ninth man into the mix, you have a breakdown like this.  40% are getting “free” (at least for them) beer, 50% are footing 41% of the total bill.  Do the math and see for yourself.  The tenth man, representing 10% of the beer drinkers in this little club, who has done well for himself, is footing 59% of the bill for the 10 men.

Now, take a look at the “tax” break they receive when the owner of this fine establishment decides to give them a discount and see that the guy who gets the biggest “break” is drinker 5.  He now pays nothing.  A 100% discount on his portion of the tab, he drinks for “free.”  You will notice that the discount goes down greatly from there.  Drinker 10 only gets a 16% discount on his portion, though it does garner him the biggest in real dollars.  However, if you work the percentage of the tab, he is now paying a touch more than 61%.  He is actually paying MORE as a portion of the tab, not less.

I hear people talking about making the “rich” pay their “fair share” when it comes to taxes.  Take a look at the percentages above and do some of the math yourself and see who is actually paying the bills and who is just along for the “free beer”

Everything matters…

From our founding to today, I don’t think there is a more important time than right now.  We, as I have said before, are at the crossroads and this upcoming election will determine whether we become wards of the state or remain free men.  We currently have a government that wants to control every aspect of your life from the moment of conception to the moment of expiration.  They get to decide who is born and when you will die.

” The only thing required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.” -Thomas Paine

This nation was brought forth by men who believed in Liberty.  Eighty seven years later, they fought a war to preserve it.  We have defended it when it has mattered at places with names such as The Alamo, Midway, Ardennes, Sicily, New York, Washington DC, and over the fields of Pennsylvania.  It is now time for other Ordinary Americans to stand up and be counted for Freedom.

If this was a revolver

They would have expended half of their ammunition.  But since Libs don’t like guns …

Boston mayor vows to keep Chick-fil-A out of city | Fox News.

Seems the mayor of Boston needs to re-read the Constitution of the Commonwealth again.  Article II states:

It is the right as well as the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons to worship the Supreme Being, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe. And no subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained, in his person, liberty, or estate, for worshipping God in the manner and season most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience; or for his religious profession or sentiments; provided he doth not disturb the public peace, or obstruct others in their religious worship.

His (dis)Honor Thomas Menino wants to prevent a private business from opening a location in Boston because of the strongly held Christian beliefs.

Mr. Mayor, shame on your for attacking a business that would bring jobs to your community.
