Bailouts, Stimulus, any Tramps of the Bill of Rights

Liberty?

The other day I had a moment with my son. Most today think that only the educated, politicians of our day under stand the "founding." Yet in the innocence of a 9 year old boy, Liberty was the ONLY thing he could comprehend. Freedom to breathe, freedom to choose, freedom to strike a deal based upon His will, not law. I hope I do not fail him and his brother, in leaving them with a place this is true. At least more true than the day I entered this world. They will be riflemen at a young age, may they never need to use that skill. They will be taught some lessons of Jefferson, Locke, Blackstone, King and others, may that knowledge never be tested. They will be shown that Liberty in any amount is worth fighting for, may they never have to fight for it.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." -The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

Honor, Duty, Sacrifice

Today I was watching Blackhawk Down, and thought it would be a good time to explain a little bit about Honor, and Team to my son. As I began to explain the actions of Randy Shughart & Gary Gordon, I found myself choked up to the point of being rendered "speechless."

From time to time if I need a reminder of true sacrifice, or a model of honor I review the stories of the 3,467 recipients. I encourage you to read some of them here. We all need heroes, and inspiration, these are some of mine.

Argentina (continued)

On Friday FerFAL posted another blog about the collapse of Argentina's economy and liberties. I have written before about how his writings have changed my views on life. It is refreshing to read his resilience and first person perspectives. That posting along with the Reverends post on the American Depression version 2.0, got me thinking WTF are we not seeing as a country. I realize that if you are reading this i am most likely preaching to the choir, however we need to become clear, and resolute in the education of others beyond the "blog community". Recent response to Mike Vanderboegh's letter was appalling in my humble opinion, he was absolutely right, direct and most frightening, possibly prophetic. Our republic is failing, being burned to the ground by banks, with a federal stamp of approval. Attempt addressing these problems of economic, domestic and foreign policies by ALL peaceful means, but also consider these words:

In all honesty I do not agree with Malcolm X on a lot of things, but as they say even a broken clock is right twice a day. Inform for change today or there will be blood tomorrow.
