WHAT IS LAW

Frederic Bastiat (1847)

Simply put, laws are made to protect and keep our rights.

“What, then, is law? Law is the collective organization of the individual rights to lawful defense.”

“If every person has the right to defend-even by force-his person, his liberty, and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly.  Thus, the principle of collective right-its reason for existing, its lawfulness-is based on individual right.  And the common force that protects this collective right cannot logically have any other purpose or any other mission that that for which it acts as a substitute.  Thus, since an individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty, or property of another individual, then the common force-for the same reason-cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, liberty, or property of individuals or groups.  Force has been given to us to defend our own individual natural rights.”

This is the reason for LAW.  Simple as it is, “An individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty, or property of another individual, then the common forced has been given to us to defend our own individual rights”.

THE JUST AND ENDURING GOVERNMENT

No one would have any argument with government, provided that his person was respected, his labor was free, and the fruits of his labor were protected against all unjust attack.

A FATAL TENDENCY OF MANKIND (His Human Nature)

There is a tendency that is common among people that when they can, they wish to live and prosper at the expense of others.  This is no rash accusation.  The annals of history bear witness to the truth of it: the incessant wars, mass migrations, religious persecution, universal slavery, dishonesty in commerce, and monopolies.  These fatal desires has it origin in the very nature of man-in that primitive, universal, and in suppressible instinct that impels him to satisfy his desires with the least possible pain.

PROPERTY AND PLUNDER (Theft over Work)

Man can live and satisfy his wants only by ceaseless labor:  by the ceaseless application of his faculties to natural resources.  This process is the origin of property.   It is also true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others.  This process is the origin of plunder.  When, then, does plunder stop.  It stops when it becomes more painful and more dangerous that labor.

OUR NATURAL RIGHTS

Ted Nugent says,

 “I don’t need a gun permit because my right of self-protection in inalienable and is my natural right”. 

The founders of our constitution believed that government as best was corrupt and at worst was tyrannical.  Our constitution was written to keep government at bay and afford the utmost protections and liberty to the citizenry.  The initial writing of the constitution did not have the bill of rights.  But the inventive George Mason had them amended into the constitution so those natural rights were in written form so that the citizens have rights that the government cannot infringe upon or take away.

Mason’s belief in the freedoms of speech, of religion, and of assembly became the cornerstone of not only our Bill of rights but our society’s conception of what having rights means in America.

When it comes to our GOD GIVEN RIGHTS, or natural law, I think Frederic Bastiat (The Law-1848) says it best.  Below are excerpts from his book “THE LAW”.

“We hold from God the gift which includes all others.  This gift is life-physical, intellectual, and moral life.”

“The creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it.”

“Life, faculties, production-in other words, individuality, liberty, property-this is man.  And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, theses three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it.”

“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws.  On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed for all time that moved men to make laws in the first place.”  

So “What is Law”

“It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.”

“Each of us has the natural right to defend his person, his liberty, and his property.  These are the three basic requirements of life.”

“If every person has the right to defend – even by force-his person, his liberty, and his property, then if follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly.”

“Force has been given to us to defend our own individual rights.”

THE LAW

Frederic Bastiat – 1847

Frederic Bastiat wrote a book or pamphlet about the evils of socialism. How power corrupts and human nature. Below are exerts from his book and how closely they are related to today.

No one would have any argument with government, provided that his person was respected, his labor was free, and the fruits of his labor were protected against all unjust attack.

It is true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others. Thus, the origins of plunder.

Since man is naturally inclined to avoid pain-and since labor is pain in itself-it follows that men will resort to plunder whenever plunder is easier than work.

When does plunder STOP? It stops when it comes more painful and more dangerous that labor.

PC THE BEST FROM ANDY ROONEY

Any TV commentator today who uttered these words that Andy did on ’60 minutes’, would be fired immediately 

At the end of ’60 Minutes’ Andy usually had his own 10-minute segment that, unbelievably, was never censored by CBS. Whether you agreed with him or not, he stated a number of things that most people would not have the guts to say.  He’s probably the only one who could have gotten away with this. May he rest in peace. 

 Andy Rooney once said, “I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.

Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens.  Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door with Al Sharpton in tow.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed.  Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion

I have the right ‘NOT’ to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling. It is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English!  As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn’t die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can’t understand the word ‘freeze’ or ‘stop’ in English, see the above lines.

I don’t think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc, so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don’t hate the rich; I don’t pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn’t stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more.  If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that’s better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn’t take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say ‘NO!’

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don’t pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don’t want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of ‘Political Correctness.’  I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be ‘African-Americans’?  Besides, Africa is a continent. I don’t go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe.  I am proud to be from America and nowhere else, and if you don’t like my point of view, tough shit and leave…”

WHY I CARRY A GUN

I don’t carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to be macho; I carry a gun not to be so.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil; I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see that evil in the World exist.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government, the tyranny and repression it can represent.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry; I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because I know how to take care of my self and the ones I love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me. Police “To Protect and Serve” is an oxymoron: Free citizens must protect themselves because city, county, state and federal law enforcement do not protect you from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens, then call someone in to clean up the mess. 

Personally, 

I carry a gun because I’m too young to die. 

I carry a gun, and in my prayers, that I never am required to use it.  

I carry a gun because not having one is when I will need it.

I carry a gun because it is my God Given Right to be a free human being. 

I carry a gun because I am responsible and accountable for my actions.

I carry a gun in case my family, myself, a citizen’s harm can be avoided.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY PLEASE DON’T THINK FOR A MOMENT, THAT THIS COULDN’T HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY ALSO  !!!!!!

  In  1929, the Soviet Union established gun control: From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

  ———————–

  In 1911, Turkey established gun control: From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

  ———————–

  Germany established gun control in 1938:From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

  ———————–

  China established gun control in 1935: From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

  ———————–

  Guatemala established gun control in 1964: From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956: From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

  ———————–

56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control.

  ———————–

England & Australia instituted gun control. Home invasion, armed robbery, muggings and crime in general skyrocketed. 

Gun control affects the law-abiding citizen. With guns, we are ‘citizens’; without them, we are ‘subjects’. During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the World!  If you value your freedom.

PROVE ME WRONG

I WANT TO BE QUESTIONED

Are we all convinced that there is no hope.  The system is rigged.  I have better hopes for the American voter, but said voter needs to be active.  Not physically but mentally.  The populist needs to get educated on the CONSTITUTION.  They need to fully understand it and hold our elected representative to account for their miss deeds.   How do you hold them accountable for such if you are unaware of their violations!  Congresses own voting records on current and past legislation deems them unfit to serve.  This is not my opinion but in written form in the OATH OF OFFICE.  If everyone out they’re fully understood Article I, the 12th amendment and article VI, the Oath of Office and subsequent codes, everyone would be shocked at the violations congress makes.  (Read my OPED post for a good understand of the Oath of Office and the SCOTUS 1803 Marbury v. Madison).    I know congress will not hold themselves accountable as that would be going against the members of their club.  Both sides of the isle are to blame.  Our only resolution is through our VOTE.  Vote based on their INTEGRITY, THERE OATH OF OFFICE, and be dammed regarding legislation.  If we vote OUT violators of THE OATH OF OFFICE, and install representatives with integrity to hold to the constitution and its articles we may have a chance.  If not, I feel we are doomed.

Once you give up you values, integrity and morals, 

everything is easy

PA AND THE VIOLATION OF THERE CONSTITUTION

The Pennsylvania Democratic Party sued their own – bringing a lawsuit against the Democratic Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Kathy Boockvar.

State Democrats sought a three-day extension for mail-in ballots, making valid all ballots postmarked by November 3 and received by November 6 at 5:00 p.m.

In addition to allowing for the mail ballot extension, the Keystone State’s high court nearly bastardized the need for a postmark, ruling that ballots “received within this period that lack a postmark or other proof of mailing, or for which the postmark or other proof of mailing is illegible, will be presumed to have been mailed by Election Day unless a preponderance of the evidence demonstrates that it was mailed after Election Day.”

Section 12. Power of Suspending Laws
No power of suspending laws shall be exercised unless by the Legislature or by its authority.

AMENDMENTS

15. HOW CAN THE CONSTITUTION BE AMENDED?

Amendments to the Pennsylvania Constitution may be proposed in either the Senate or the House of Representatives but must pass in both by a majority vote of the members elected.

Three months before the next general election, the proposed amendment is published in at least two newspapers in every county. After the election, the amendment must again be approved through a majority vote of the members of the General Assembly. The amendment is again published and voted on by the entire electorate. If passed by a majority vote, the amendment becomes part of the Constitution.

No individual amendment can be submitted more often than once in five years, and when two or more amendments are submitted at once, they are voted on separately (see Article XI, Section 1 ).

16. WHAT ABOUT IN AN EMERGENCY?

The procedure to amend the Constitution is simplified somewhat when a major emergency threatens the safety and welfare of the Commonwealth. An emergency amendment can be proposed in the Senate or the House of Representatives at any regular or special session and must be passed by at least two-thirds of the members of both legislative bodies. The proposed amendment is then published in at least two newspapers in every county and is then voted upon by the electorate at least one month after being agreed to by the General Assembly. If there are two or more emergency amendments, they are voted on separately (see Article XI, Section 1).

PANDEMIC NUMBERS

The number of deaths cannot be accounted for

As reported by the CDC… Here are the US deaths by year and the change from the previous year

Year 2017 2,818,503 Americans died

Year 2018: 2,839,205 deaths (20,702 more than the previous year 2017)

Year 2019: 2,855,000 deaths (16,300 more than the previous year 2018)

The year of the pandemic…

Year 2020: 2,913,144 deaths (57,641 more than the previous year 2019)

BUT WAIT: There were zero deaths from Covid-19 during 2018, and 2019 and the jump from 2019 was only 57,641?

The news media has reported that COVID is responsible for 400,000 + deaths. Shouldn’t the 2020 number be a hell of a lot higher?

So, the question becomes: How many people died OF COVID and How many died (of other causes) maybe with some COVID symptoms but not necessarily from COVID and attributed to COVID numbers.
