To socialists, communists, and far left liberals, freedom is anethema to their sense of order. They see freedom as too chaotic and unpredictable. There’s no telling how much of their agenda a free people will sidestep or reject outright.
Membership in the EU cost the British much of their sovereignty.
The Brexit is a rejection of an outside, overriding authority beyond The People’s reach. In many important issues their membership in the EU made moot The People’s votes for members of parliament.

For a very long time in America, the executive branch has been gathering power and centralizing control through executive orders and agency regulations making moot The People’s votes for senators and representatives.
“The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.”
— from the 1943 US Supreme Court decision
— WEST VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION v. BARNETTE, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)
It’s not the critic who counts. It’s not the man who points out where the grown man stumbles, or how the doer of deeds could have done them better; the credit belongs to the man who actually is in the arena, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement, but who, if he fails, fails, while doing so greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

So next time you’re listening to the talking heads remember that they are just observers/critics flapping their gums. Very few of them know more than you. You are just as good as they are at evaluating what someone says or does.
If you take the time to listen to or read what someone says, instead of only listening to commentary, you will be better informed.
… enough about your family, friends, and coworkers to get a gun, get trained, practice, and carry it concealed?
If we halt wire transfers from US accounts to accounts in Mexico (a huge source of wealth and a stimulus for the Mexican economy) much of the Mexican government’s incentive to move their people North would vanish.
They send people North. Those people work or receive welfare, and they wire some of it to Mexico. There should be an audit of the receiving account numbers. How many wires are going to the same account?
PEOPLE !
obama is a traitor. Some of your neighbors voted for him TWICE ! Get in their faces !
All the signs were there: his drugs, his crimes, his outright lies, his past, his ties, his heroes, his mentors, his quotes, his book – they ignored all of it. So many red flags and yet they voted for him. What does that make them?
The boldness and fanaticism of obama’s minions are accelerating. Who knows what will they do with his quiet endorsement in the time he has left? We know he will disavow their actions and enjoy what they accomplish.
I know the nature of everything they are attempting – they are working against American freedom. Our foes all over the world are enjoying the show.
And, at the end, who will he pardon and release into our society?
We blame you, liberals ! We know who is at fault.
There are crimes being committed to elect another false American, hillary. The honesty of the election process has been shattered. Why? Because a thorough investigation by a totally Republican government (with no DOJ to run interference) will expose corruption at many levels (even among the Democrat-lite party, the GOP). The people will demand it.
… the hate-preaching, murder-preaching mullahs must go, wherever they are. Without them there are no soldiers, no suicide bombers, no Boston Marathon bombers, no World Trade Centers collapsing, no London transport bombings …
The mullahs, who face no threat, keep churning out terrorists faster than the world can kill them. We need to hit the mullahs. The ignorant muslims that flock to their call are harmless without them.
The muslims do not value life. They value obedience to the will of Allah. They bring their teachings here. Happiness is not a goal. Getting along with us is not a goal. There are places in Great Britain and America where non-believers dare not go. Sharia law is being established wherever they can get away with it.
They come here with no intentions of becoming Americans. They are establishing a support network for the fighters that are coming.
They are open about it. They tell us all the time. We are watching it happen.
Kill those mullahs.
The liberal media, obama’s propaganda arm, is floating the idea of Gun Confiscation to gauge the response.
Anyone who says that totally disarming the American people through gun confiscation is not the liberals’ goal is lying. It’s their dream. They’ll start out with a very specific list of ‘unnecessary’ firearms and categories of people. Get everybody used to the idea. Get them to think. “I don’t have one of those. I’m not one of those people. I have nothing to worry about.” Then the list will be expanded to include more owners. Incrementalism. Divide and conquer.
We can’t let it start. Period.
Consider creating calling trees in your communities to summon the armed assistance of your neighbors to interfere and prevent the confiscation. Send the agents back where they came from empty handed, disarmed, and unharmed if they cooperate.
The obama administration and his followers are dreaming about the crime they will commit against the American People. They will scream that any armed response by The People is a crime.
The major fundamental changes they want for America will be much easier to enforce against our will, and they will fear no consequences, if we can be disarmed.
Keep your weapons ready and near. Be ready to answer the call.
there would be people who would try to expand the powers entrusted to them. They KNEW that those in power would whittle away at the freedoms of The People.
The Bill of Rights must be honored by those we elect or The People will eventually have to use force to set things right.
It’s on our minds now.

“The blessed Religion revealed in the word of God will remain an eternal and awful monument to prove that the best Institutions may be abused by human depravity; and that they may even, in some instances be made subservient to the vilest of purposes. Should, hereafter, those who are intrusted with the management of this government, incited by the lust of power and prompted by the Supineness or venality of their Constituents, overleap the known barriers of this Constitution and violate the unalienable rights of humanity: it will only serve to shew, that no compact among men (however provident in its construction and sacred in its ratification) can be pronounced everlasting and inviolable, and if I may so express myself, that no Wall of words, that no mound of parchmt. can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the one side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other.” – George Washington, fragments of the discarded draft of First Inaugural Address, April, 1789
Some people think the 2nd Amendment is about repelling invaders. They say the government has that covered.
But, the Founding Fathers and the Framers of The Constitution wrote frequently about their fears and intentions and those letters have been preserved.
“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”
— George Washington
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”
— Patrick Henry
“To disarm the people…[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them.”
— George Mason
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.”
— Noah Webster
“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
— Samuel Adams
“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.”
— Richard Henry Lee
“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.”
— Thomas Jefferson
