States Should Tell Feds To Take A Hike
May 8, 2014 Commentary, Political
The federal government holds states hostage to federal tax dollars. It works like this; the states collect tax money and send it to the federal government, then the federal government doles it out to the states.
This paradigm makes states dependent on the federal government and leads to coercion on the part of the feds.
If the federal government makes the speed limit 55 mph then any state that does not comply has highway funds withheld. If a state does not do what the federal government dictates with regard to health care then Medicare funding is withheld.
See how it works? They take money from the states and then force the states to comply in order to get any of it back.
The newest case of extortion comes from the federal government in regard to the state of Indiana. That state had the audacity to drop the Common Core standards. For those unfamiliar Common Core is billed as a way to teach for better results when it is really a mumbled mess that dumbs down students and teaches them to be dependent on government. Common Core will not prepare students to compete in the modern world. Common Core is indoctrination to the left’s view of things.
The federal government has told Indiana that it must prove that its standards are just as challenging as Common Core or its federal funding will be in jeopardy. It should not be hard to show that any program is just as (or more) challenging than Common Core but since the feds will decide there is no telling if Indiana will make the grade (pun intended).
[note]The only challenging thing about Common Core is making sense of it.[/note]
So Indiana faces losing federal funding for education. Considering there should be no federal funding of education (not in the Constitution as a federal concern) perhaps it is time for Indiana to take a stand.
Ideally the state would stop sending all federal taxes collected to the federal government until the feds left the state alone but that would cause problems for the citizens who pay those taxes.
[note]Technically, employers collect federal taxes on income and send them to the IRS so states would have to force employers to send the taxes to the state for disbursement. Might be a difficult task but it could be done. Any federal tax the state collects directly and sends to the feds could easily be withheld.[/note]
Perhaps Indiana should determine what amount of money the feds have been “providing” for education, determine what percentage that is of the total taxes paid in, and deduct that percentage from the amount sent to DC.
Indiana can tell the feds that the state is withholding the funds and will use them as it sees fit.
The same could be done by states that are forced to comply with some transportation related federal mandate (like speed limits). The state could collect the federal gas tax and hold it in escrow until the feds capitulate.
Force the federal government to stay in its own lane and stop infringing on the states.
Perhaps all states should start withholding the percentage sent to the federal government for unconstitutional programs and spend the money internally without it having to pass through DC. The Tenth Amendment is there for a reason and until states start pushing back the federal government will continue to infringe.
Time to castrate the federal government and bring the power back where it belongs; to the states or the people respectively…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

A Good Guy With A Gun
May 8, 2014 Political, Second Amendment
A security guard at a McDonald’s in Baltimore (the city that bleeds) shot a man who fired at him inside the restaurant. It is not clear if the security guard was working at the McDonald’s (a sad statement about our society) or there to order a meal. In any event, someone shot at him and he returned fire. The would be murderer is in the hospital and will be charged with attempted murder when he is released. His name will be released at that time.
The security guard was armed as part of his job. He was allowed, under Maryland’s restrictive and unconstitutional gun laws that bar the average citizen from carrying, to carry a gun.
His job saved him and others because if he were some regular Joe he would not have been able to defend himself.
This is how Maryland works. It has a lot of programs to help people like illegal aliens, welfare queens and other Democrat supporters but it refuses to follow the Constitution so that law abiding, not otherwise restricted, people can carry a firearm.
[note]Disarming people is the best way to enslave them to tyranny[/note]
It is fortunate the guard was there (whether he worked there or not) because if he had not been people might have been killed. A criminal does not care about the law so gun laws do not affect him (want to bet that the guy who did this was not allowed to have a gun). Gun laws only affect, AND HURT, law abiding citizens.
Maryland should move to be a Constitutional carry state where people who are not otherwise prohibited (felons, mentally ill) can carry a firearm either concealed or open. If one passes the comprehensive background check (yes, contrary to what liberals tell you, this is required) then that should be sufficient with regard to carry.
Maryland will likely never get to that state because it involves freedom and Maryland is not free at all though, ironically, one of the nicknames of the state is The Free State…
The least Maryland should do (and likely will not without court pressure) is to remove the good and substantial reason to carry a concealed firearm.
Maryland is run by liberals particularly in the city and counties surrounding Baltimore and DC. These places are full of liberals who are enslaved to the government. They vote for liberals so they can keep their hands out to receive the fruits of other’s labor.
If Maryland were truly a free state then people could carry firearms which, in turn, would lower the crime rate. Criminals do not like to face armed opposition. The gunman in the story probably did not expect to see an armed guard. If he had known an armed person was inside he would probably have picked an easier target (and there are plenty of them in Maryland).
Things will not change until the population votes out the liberal cretins who have enslaved the people of the state and as long as liberal politicians plunder from earners to give to the gimmiedats there will be no such vote.
Is it any wonder that Maryland is third on the list of states people (47%) want to LEAVE?
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Oath Takers Practice To Break Oath
Feb 12, 2014 Political
The Ohio National Guard has been preparing for civil unrest and the target in their training was the right wing extremists who believe in limited government and support the Second Amendment. This alleged group of bad guys was to release a biological weapon to show their displeasure with government.
Documents from an Ohio National Guard (ONG) training drill conducted last January reveal the details of a mock disaster where Second Amendment supporters with “anti-government” opinions were portrayed as domestic terrorists.
This is not unusual training for our government because it views those with conservative views as terrorists. Those who disagree with the radical agenda of the progressive regime are labeled terrorists. Those who believe in the Constitution and believe in FOLLOWING that document are labeled as terrorists. The Obama DHS put out a report that called those on the right, veterans and various others who believe in small government a threat.
The guard did use a liberal group as its enemy in a previous exercise but an uproar caused them to apologize. It looks as no such apology will be given to the lawful citizens portrayed as the enemy.
I am not sure how many National Guard members would try to disarm or target Americans for their lawful beliefs but I am sure there would be a few. They would find that they are severely outnumbered and outmatched. They ought not forget that millions of the people the government has labeled as a threat are veterans who are trained as well or better than the current members of the guard.
I would hope that these people would remember they took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and not a particular person and that they would turn on any leader who gave an order to use force on fellow citizens who were not breaking the law.
I hope this for their sake and for the sake of the country.
Though as I look at it I have to realize this was all a phony scenario. The group involved was supposed to be a bunch of right wing educators releasing a biological agent.
The educational system is full of liberals. It would be tough to get enough “right wingers” from a group of educators to have an effective fighting force. And using weapons on people who disagree with a point of view is the trademark of the progressive loony left.
Nonetheless, portraying patriotic Americans as terrorists is dangerous and can only further divide this nation.
Such is the world under King B. Hussein Obama…
Cave canem!

Obama Using IRS Again
Feb 11, 2014 Political
King B. Hussein Obama the First has again violated the Constitution by issuing orders that directly contradict a duly enacted law. Obamacare was passed by DEMOCRATS in Congress and signed into law by DEMOCRAT Obama and the SCOTUS rewrote the law to allow it. That law has set dates for things to happen but things are not going well with Obamacare and Democrats are worried they will lose the Senate in the next election.
So, King Obama pushed certain employer mandates past the next election so that the mindless people will forget about the problems and the certain disaster and vote the loveable Democrats back into office. By the way, these are the same delays Republicans wanted and Obama and Reid refused resulting in the Democrat shut down of the federal government.
[note]Keep in mind the disaster of millions losing jobs and/or insurance will not be prevented. It will just be delayed until after the election. Once they are back in office the mess will occur and there will be nothing you can do about it. Vote them out this November and put an end to this insanity.[/note]
The problem is Obama’s edicts do not comply with the law. As the Executive he is not allowed to change laws.
The edicts affect businesses that employ certain numbers of full time employees. Obama’s henchmen at the IRS have been tasked with intimidating these businesses not to fire people because of Obamacare. Well really they are intimidating them into NOT claiming it was because of Obamacare.
The smart employer knows that if he has to comply with the law if he has 100 employees then he can avoid the law by firing enough people to get below that threshold. The IRS will force businesses to swear, under penalty of perjury, that it did not fire people to avoid Obamacare and its mandates.
The numbers deal with full time workers because the law already allows for employers to avoid Obamacare for part time employees (fewer than 30 hours per week).
So the goon squad at the IRS, fresh off illegally targeting conservative groups, will now force businesses to swear that they are not dumping employees because of (or to avoid) Obamacare.
This is insane. Employers are free to hire and fire people for whatever reason they want. There is no need to let the government know why.
But since the IRS will be used as the enforcement arm and since members of Congress refuse to stop the lawless Obama (particularly the jelly spined Republicans) businesses will likely have to comply or face the wrath of an unleashed IRS.
But wait, what will stop a business with too many employees from reducing hours of those workers so they fall below the 30 hours required to provide insurance? A smart business owner could very easily reduce hours until the number of full time employees is below the 50 or 100 level and thus avoid the Obamacare mandates.
Reduced hours means less pay (which is probably why Democrats are pushing for a minimum wage increase. Well that and buying votes) but does that matter if you are trying to run a business without going bankrupt from Obamacare (in addition to the numerous other government regulations)?
Yep, if I owned a business I would fire employees who voted for Obama. If I faced the IRS goons and could not do it I would reduce the Obama voter’s hours to under 30. The law is specific about the hour requirement.
Then again, the tyrant King has not followed the law as of yet so I suspect that once he figures this out he will issue new orders for the IRS.
[note]The reality is the Democrats do not want businesses talking about firing people because of Obamacare. They know it will happen but if it is discussed they might lose more votes so they are using the IRS to issue a sort of gag order. Fire people and swear it was not because of Obamacare so then you can’t go out and say it was…[/note]
Voters need to strengthen the Republican numbers in the House and retake the Senate (with a big majority) and this will put a stop to Obama and Harry Reid and their destruction of the country.
It will also give us the numbers needed to impeach the King.
But only if they grow a spine along the way.
As an aside, Obama and I have something in common. He sees fit not to follow the law. So do I…

A Song For All The Gun Grabbers Out There
Jan 23, 2014 Second Amendment
This song is to the point and it asks the question; “Who the hell gave you the right to take my guns from me?” In America the Second Amendment is there to protect a preexisting right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. It is not about the military (addressed elsewhere in the Constitution) and it is not about hunting (not addressed at all). The reality is the Founders fought a bloody war against the ruling nation to gain independence. That ruling nation was oppressive and even tried to take away firearms, an act that was not well received.
We fought to gain our freedom and now we must continue to fight to protect our freedom. Ronald Reagan said Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
That generation is now and we are in real danger of losing freedom (much of it has been lost already). Listen to the song and think about the law abiding who do no wrong and would never use a firearm to hurt someone without just cause. And then think of criminals who do not obey the law and ask yourself if any gun law will stop them.
You know the answer.
Well, who the hell gave you the right?
Here is an example of tyranny.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
