America’s Most Aggressive Defender of Firearms Ownership

 

” I want to provide a context for several of the arguments which are used in the modern lexicon of those who would attempt to separate you from your rights, but first I want to define a term. Many of us who can read the Constitution and understand it’s historical context, have known for a long time that the right to keep and bear arms, was not created by the U.S. Constitution. The Second Amendment says Quote: “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” It does NOT say, “the right to keep and bear arms is hereby created.” The right pre-existed the Amendment, plain and simple.

The Surprising Details About Sonia Sotomayor’s College Past That You Won’t Find in Her New Book | TheBlaze.com

See on Scoop.it – EconomicFactors

Sotomayor’s time at Princeton takes up much of the book, but her account of her alma mater left a lot out, especially her involvement in left-wing politics and an explicitly anti-white club.

Bill McKee‘s insight:

It figures.  This is the sort of racially obsessed personality that Obama attracts.  And hiding her actual background is something that everyone in the Obama administration seems to revel in.  The fish rots from the head down.

Science Fiction and the Dept. of Interior

See on Scoop.it – EconomicFactors

So called “Environmentalists” have taken over major agencies in our government and radicalized our approach to common sense solutions to problems.. and make up problems to expand it’s control, infl…

Bill McKee‘s insight:

This video record of a Congressional hearing a few months ago (which is being kept hush hush by leftist media) demonstrates how radical and evil the policies and policymakers have become in the Obama Interior Dept.  On every front, the Obama administration is intent upon destroying the economic foundation of the USA, using specious arguments to carry out the destruction.. and firing any whistleblower who dares to expose their outrageous conduct and plans.

 

This is today’s American Federal Government… a nest of elitists who are determined to bring America down.

Analysis: Stuck in reverse, Detroit edges closer to bankruptcy

See on Scoop.it – EconomicFactors

DETROIT (Reuters) – At the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, luxury was in the air. Pricey new Bentleys and Maseratis glittered – including a Maserati 2014 Quattroporte with a $132,000 price tag; U.S.

Bill McKee‘s insight:

Detroit:  This is how an entitlement "economy" ends. Badly.  Very Badly.

 

Even now, the municipal "government" leeches insist they are entitled to a bailout by their State and Federal government cousins.  No substantive reason given for the claim of entitlement to yet another entitlement..

Are increased PERS costs responsible for a $500 per student increase in state spending?

See on Scoop.it – EconomicFactors

During his recent State of the State address, Gov. John Kitzhaber defended a proposal to cap the cost of living adjustment for those on the public employee retirement system.

Bill McKee‘s insight:

Funding skyrocketing costs for government schools is compounded by skyrocketing costs for tremendously padded government retirement plans that were ill conceived, at best.  As usual when it comes to government, the problem was masked early on.. kicked down the road.. till now we can no longer kick the can.  The legislators who created the problem have long ago retired, and their replacements are virtually employed by public employee unions now.. so they aren’t about to do what is right.  

 

The best solution is to recognize the error.. go to a system where parents are issued a stipend they can use to educate their children in schools of their choice.  Let private schools unleash their considerable skills.  We would see an immediate improvement in public schools… or else. 

 

As some like to say over and over… the current system is unsustainable.

Court: Obama appointments violate Constitution

Bill McKee‘s insight:

Finally.. Obama "recess" appointments determined to be UNconstitutional by appeals court.  The obvious decision will likely be suppressed in the mainstream lapdog press, but it is good to know that perhaps the courts (some of them) are still willing to abide the constitution.

Assault on IP Rights Should Alarm Conservatives and Libertarians

See on Scoop.it – EconomicFactors

In a piece entitled Crony Copyright, Jordan Bloom celebrates as martyr former Republican Study Committee staffer Derek Khanna, who was recently terminated for publishing a slipshod memorandum indicting IP protections.

Bill McKee‘s insight:

Civilization- Do we support Anarchy, or do we support Order?

Are you entitled to the product of your labor, or should your labor be the property of the State.  Under Monarchy’s, the King owns everything.. even your life.. and most certainly the product of your labor.

 

And yet, there are those who still lust for the property produced by others who demand "ownership and/or usage" without market compensation to the producer – embracing the age old UNcivilized abuse of power and privelege that we can never seem to fully escape. In the mind of the thief, property owned by others is rightfully stolen, if the thief has enough power to take it. 

 

As Government grows and amasses centralized power, it comes to dominate and behaves much like the above described thief.  America should protect at all costs the intellectual property rightfully created and produced by the creator of that property. At the same time, we must be ever vigilant to fight off the compulsion by those in government and business to create "crony" relationships.  Cronyism is a cancer that must be removed at the first hint.

Man, Sex, God, and Yale.

See on Scoop.it – EconomicFactors

Bill McKee‘s insight:

Man, Sex, God, and Yale.  The debauchery of Yale would be hard to believe, if it weren’t so well documented.  The fall from the pursuit of high ideals to despicable hedonism is breathtaking. Read the article..

 

Yale was fashioned after the tradition of European liberal education.  This vision was fulfilled in 1701, when the charter was granted for a school “wherein Youth may be instructed in the Arts and Sciences [and] through the blessing of Almighty God may be fitted for Publick employment both in Church and Civil State.”

 

The "Mission" of Yale as described above has been completely overwhelmed by self described Marxist Atheists … who insist on twisting the beauty and exhileration of freedom and pursuit of Excellence with unbridled license to practice unrelenting debauchery and moral degeneracy.
