Wounded Knee...
From Bubba.
A Lesson to be Learned on the Anniversary of
Wounded Knee
December 29, 2012 marks the 122nd Anniversary of the murder of 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
These 297 people, in their winter camp, were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms “ for their own safety and protection ”.
December 29, 2012 marks the 122nd Anniversary of the murder of 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
These 297 people, in their winter camp, were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms “ for their own safety and protection ”.
The slaughter began AFTER the majority of the Sioux had
peacefully turned in their firearms . When the final round had been fired,
of the 297 dead or dying, two thirds (200) were women and children.
Around 40 members of the 7th Cavalry were killed, over half cut down by friendly fire from the Hotchkiss guns of their overzealous comrades-in-arms . Twenty members of the 7th Cavalry were deemed “National Heroes” and awarded the Medal of Honor for their acts of cowardice.

We do not hear of Wounded Knee today. It is not mentioned in
our history classes or books. What little does exist about Wounded Knee is
normally the sanitized “Official Government Explanation” or the historically
and factually inaccurate depictions of the events leading up to the
massacre on the movie screen.
Wounded Knee was among the first federally backed gun
confiscation attempts in United States history. It ended in the
senseless murder of 297 people.
Before you jump on the emotionally charged bandwagon for
gun-control, take a moment to reflect on the real purpose of the
Second Amendment ---- The right of the people to take up arms in defense
of themselves, their families, and property in the face of invading armies
or an oppressive government. The argument that the Second Amendment only
applies to hunting and target shooting is asinine. When the United States
Constitution was drafted “hunting” was an everyday chore carried out by men and
women to put meat on the table each night, and “target shooting” was an
unheard of concept, musket balls were a precious commodity in the wilds of
early America, and were certainly not wasted “target shooting”. The Second
Amendment was written by people who fled oppressive and tyrannical regimes
in Europe, and refers to the right of American citizens to be armed for defense
purposes should such tyranny rise in the United States.
As time goes on the average citizen in the United States continues to lose personal freedom or “liberty”. Far too many times unjust bills are passed and signed into law under the guise of “ for your safety ” or “ for protection ”. The Patriot Act signed into law by G.W. Bush, then expanded and continued by Barack Obama is just one of many examples of American citizens being stripped of their rights and privacy for “safety”. Now, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is on the table, and will, most likely be taken away for “ our safety ”.
Before any American citizen blindly accepts whatever new
firearms legislation that is about to be doled out, they should stop
and think about something for just one minute --- evil does exist in our
world. It always has and always will. Throughout history evil people have
committed evil acts. In the Bible one of the first stories is that of Cain
killing Abel. We can not legislate “evil” into extinction. Good people
will abide by the law, defective people will always find a way around it.
Another thought, evil exists all around us, but
looking back at the historical record of the past 200 years across the globe,
where is evil” and “malevolence” most often found? In the hands of those
with the power ---- governments. The greatest human tragedies on record
and the largest loss of innocent human life can be attributed to governments.
Who do governments target? “Scapegoats” and “enemies” within their own
borders…but only after they have been disarmed to the point where they are no
longer a threat. Ask any Native American, and they will tell you it was
inferior technology and lack of arms that contributed to their demise. Ask any
Armenian why it was so easy for the Turks to exterminate millions of them,
and they will answer “We were disarmed before it happened”. Ask any Jew what
Hitler’s first step prior to the mass murders of the Holocaust was --
confiscation of firearms from the people. Wounded Knee is the prime example of why the Second Amendment exists, and why we shouldn’t be in such a hurry to surrender our Right to Bear Arms. Without the Second Amendment we have no right to defend ourselves and our families.

Confrontation...
Via David.
I
frequently hear people talk about confrontation. How we deal with
confrontation, in fact, is generally considered one of the defining
points in someone’s personality. Does someone shy away from it? Do
they run toward it? Are they comfortable in conflicts, can they resolve
them? Sometimes people will use phrases like “non-confrontational”
or “peaceful” to describe themselves in a positive light. “I’m very
non-confrontational. I can get along with everyone.” In this brave new
world of political correctness and buzzwords that we use to dance
around issues that we disagree with, tolerance is the new integrity.
Except…there
is no integrity in tolerance for the sake of not hurting feelings.
There is no honor in being non-confrontational to the point of
cowardice.
Read the rest here. It's good. And the truth.

Solzhenitsyn...
“And
how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if
every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been
uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when
the...y
arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their
lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step
on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had
boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes,
hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly
have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of
Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We
didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real
situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Challenging eligibility...
From Red Flag News...
Supreme Court opens door to another challenge to Obama eligibility on February 15th...
Chief Justice John Roberts Schedules A Case Regarding Obamas Forged IDs to be Heard in Conference Before the Full Supreme Court.
The case titled Noonan, Judd, MacLeran, Taitz v Bowen provides a mountain of evidence of Barack Obama using a last name not legally his, forged Selective Service application, forged long form and short form birth certificate and a Connecticut Social Security number 042-68-4425 which was never assigned to him according to E-Verify and SSNVS. Additionally, this case provides evidence of around one and a half million invalid voter registrations in the state of California alone.
More from Huffington Post: Taitz's case argues that Obama is using false identification, a fake last name, a false Social Security number and forged birth certificates, and Selective Service applications to run for president. She originally filed the lawsuit against California Secretary of State Debra Bowen (D) in her attempt to prevent California's electoral votes from being counted and to prevent Vice President Joe Biden from counting the electoral votes earlier this month.
A federal judge in California dismissed this case last week. Taitz likened her current case to Watergate.

Free man...
"I am a free man, regardless of what set of ‘rules’
surround me. When I find them tolerable, I tolerate them. When I find them
obnoxious, I ignore them. I remain free, because I know and understand that I
alone bear full responsibility for everything I do, or chose not to do."

Strange bedfellows...
Christie is obviously a typical politician trying to win the vote of Democrats in his home state of New Jersey. The ends justify the means, I guess. I hope that people are smarter than that :)
What a douche.

Schooled...
I think that Mr. Morgan should be the national spokesman for all people who believe in unrestricted gun rights. He's got it down.
Thanks, David.
