Topic: General politics
We are in the age of legislators and courts ignoring Constitutional restrictions that WE placed on them. Law is the problem. It's taken almost two months to wrap my mind around it. Here it is.
Our Founders realized the evils of Democracy and law, King, Corporation and Church all in bed with each other. They left England and the Evils followed them, leading to them winning an impossible war. Theres no way the Colonists should have won, but they did. Its the "In God we Trust" thing.
This Nation is based on INDIVIDUAL Freedom and Rights, but now we have laws that infringe on those rights. Why should I not be able to possess a knife or gun in a public park. It IS my park, after all. How is it that the Constitutional restrictions on Law got all twisted up and put backward?
First, what is law? The first incidence of law is in ancient Israel. Israel tended to get into some mischief that displeased God, so God set down some rules and laws.
Whats critical about these rules and laws is that, in contrast to modern times, the laws were about relations between/among men, and basically just that - mano-y-mano. If I dug a pit and your cow fell in it and died, the State Prosecutor did not come in and charge me, I simply made it right with you by replacing the cow, and maybe putting a sign near or a cover on the pit. Government did NOT INTERFERE WITH FREE EXERCISE OF RIGHTS.
Read the 10 Comandments, where do they say to do anything? Theres a serious misconception in modern religion that the Commandments are rules to be followed - "works" when in fact, they are exactly the opposite.
This system does not lend itself to small groups of elitists grabbing power and control. Israel made the mistake of taking on a king like her neighbors, and thats when it all started going downhill. The "GOVERNMENT" got involved. When people give over power to a "government" then they have not lost something, they gave it away.
Along came Alexander the Great of Greece who invented a particularly rotten form of Government called Democracy. Certain subversives in America are pushing the idea that America is a democracy. They usually hang out in universities and on Public TV. Democracy was, as coined by Alexander, as a benevolent dictatorship based on taxes. As he and his army went across the lands of the Medes and Persians, he conquered cities and promised to leave them more or less alone as long as they paid him taxes.
Sound familiar? It sounds like the ROT in Washington DC (district of corruption).
TO make a long story short (you can read about the various legal codes through history on your own) our legal system is now attacking the Constitution(s) and some of it is deliberate, some accidental.
Laws are subordinate to the Constitution because the Constitution created the system of Government from which the laws come. The first dangerous idea is that the Constitution is law. It is not. Read it.
Laws as God designed tell people how to deal with each other. Laws as subverted and manipulated in modern America cause Government interference in that process. Car A runs into the back of Car B and theres an accident report by the Police, insurance companies, maybe a Court hearing. A whole big system of people MAKING MONEY and FEELING IMPORTANT where the owners of A and B should just work it out. If they have a fist fight and call it good, then theyve worked it out. If B fixes A's car, then they worked it out. But this isnt good enough for the dictators in Gubmint, they want to control it all.
In some areas, making law is useful and necessary. Example- a motor vehicle speed limit. Once upon a time, there werent enough motor vehicles to be a big problem, but once they became common, and accidents began to cause property damage and injury, it became wise to establish speed limits. These limits dont mean much unless:
1 .) people agree among themselves to observe them and be responsible for their actions
2.) the "speed limit" is somehow 'enforceable' (notice I didnt say "law" VERY critical distinction)
So if B was speeding and hit A, and B refuses to be responsible for his actions that damaged A, then A has a recourse at LAW to use the power of the People through their Legislature and Courts systems to FORCE B to take care of business.
Thats great. It works. Until the system gets greedy and arrogant and starts treading on areas it is FORBIDDEN to tread on.
Second Amendment, for example.
Its one thing to regulate speed limits, there is no enumerated RIGHT to drive 100 mph in a car.
THERE IS AN ENUMERATED RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. To possess an "arm," REGARDLESS OF ITS TYPE.
Certain subversives have ignored the Constitutional restrictions on their authority and restricted, at law, the Right to Bear Arms. This they are FORBIDDEN to do. They have lots of games and excuses to do so:
1.) they define "Arms" as only firearms, where no such restriction exists in the Bill of Rights or Constitution. "arms" are anything one can use to defend self and Nation.
2.) "Safety and protection" - both are smoke screens for bleeding heart subversives to pretend they can ban weapons and make Society safer. Unacceptable, because it usurps the Constitutional restrictions on them, and is PROVEN to make things LESS SAFE. The proof is in the DATA.
The basic law problem is that Gubmint has RUN OUT OF THINGS TO MAKE LAW ON (Gods laws were good enough for God, why arent they good enough for us??) in areas where they are not Constitutionally restricted, and are intruding on Constitutional protections. Like anyone else, they have jobs which send them on power trips and make money, and they think they must do something.
We dont need any more laws. We have enough, thank you very much. What we need are unpaid Legislators and etc to remove the incentive to make laws, especially the STUPID laws that WA State makes like "you cannot wash your OWN CAR IN YOUR OWN DRIVEWAY. Unenforceable, in a work, thus invalid. I KNOW LEOs have better things to do.
There is an un-obvious problem in law called 'selective enforcement.' Some laws, especially that point out the legal systems UTTER FAILURE to control and deal with crime (which proves it cannot thus is useless and ineffective) such as traffic laws. Police often "use" speed limits (for example) to then have the ability to look into a car and see if someone possesses some drugs or a gun. They are not able to deal with the important issue (stopping criminals from selling drugs) so the speed limit is used for other purposes. The system is unable or unwilling to deal with real crime (gangs for example) so loitering laws are enforced, which are UNCONSTITUTIONAL in that:
1.) they infringe on our right to Freedom of Assembly
2.) are often only applied to certain people (suspected criminals) in unequal enforcement.
The danger is when the People think thats OK - its the dangerous "ends justify the means" philosophy. Hitler used that one.
When a law is made, its a law, it must apply to ALL, not just a selected group that the system doesnt like. This becomes very dangerous when other Rights are ignored such as the Right to Bear Arms, and the Gubmint tries to deprive law-abiding Citizens of firearms when theyve done nothing wrong. ITs not about "firearm," its about "personal property." Guns one day, taking your car or house the next.
The second danger to the 'its someone elses problem' (unequal enforcement to someone else) is that the much more dangerous idea of loss of rights of others such as right to speedy trial or 5th Amendment - too many Americans have fallen for the notion that criminals have no rights, and they do, especially since they are NOT criminals until having been found GUILTY.
The PD shoots a car thief dead in the streets, and the foolish cry "he had it coming." No, he didnt, he had a TRIAL coming to determine guilt or innocense, not a highway EXECUTION. IF the tables turn, and YOU are the target, ESPECIALLY FOR NO GOOD REASON, you'll not go for that Coleseum mentality ever again (reference to feeding Christians to the Lions in the Roman coleseum for entertainment).
Several States have made UNCONSTITUTIONAL laws (which are then of no effect) such as 'concealed carry," which is by nature STUPIDITY, if its CONCEALED, then its not visible and thus unenforceable.
Since the Gubmint has been proven utterly incapable of stopping crime and violent attacks of A upon B (God couldnt/didnt even stop that - think about that one...) which are ACTIONS, they are now going after the OBJECT. Since law cannot stop someone from using a gun to shoot a gas station attendant and taking the money, the Law wants to eliminate guns. More stupidity since:
1.) Possession of Arms is an enumerated RIGHT
2.) gun control has resulted in crime ridden CESSPOOLS like Chicago and Wash D.C. (District of Criminals)
A bullet-resistant vest is a personal possession. It is far more a defense against a gun than a gun. A gun is more an offensive tool as defensive, except for the psychological implications. (if a criminal knows I have a gun, hell go somewhere else). There are States Laws speaking toward a vest as an offense if used to defend someone in the process of, say, robbing a bank. The purpose of the vest in that case is to attempt to prevent a PD from stopping the robber by shooting him, thus the vest somewhat becomes a criminal tool.
Such a law is basically Unconstitutional and becomes flagrantly so when the bleeding hearts attempt to outlaw a vest in total. Just like gun laws, this deprives Citizens of their possessions that may especially be used for defense of Self and Nation.
SO, our entire Legal system has become corrupt. Youll not be concerned until they come for YOUR things? Youd better be concerned now!
The less obvious problem yet is that this gun control crap, just like a myriad of other laws, are NOT from the US, they are from the UN. These gun control laws are a result of the UN campaign for small arms disarmament, just like laws concerning Federal lands and water rights come from the Communist UNs policy and beliefs that 'all the Earths resources belong to all people' (paraphrased, it gets the point across). CLM wrote about this topic extensively.
EDIT: This just in: Obama/UN disarmament:

Whats the solution? Stop making laws. Start eliminating laws. Unpaid Legislators, Councilmen. Everybody armed as in Kennesaw GA, where crime was more or less ELIMINATED. You tell me what the answer is - incremental change for the better, or partial collapse and reformation. I dont know. I personally pray night and day that the world economy collapses so that the entire system and its money go down the drain, and daily life becomes an individual pursiut of happiness without Gubmint and Corporation. Such a collapse would be ugly, but sometimes the cure is worse than the cause.
In the mean time, WRITE LOUDLY AND OFTEN to your Legislature, Judges, Senators and Reps. Tell them we will not tolerate attacks on our Constitutions and Rights.
