Cruz Calls President ‘Dangerous And Terrifying’ – CBS Houston

So few people have the honor to call the President what he is: A lawless tyrant. He rules by diktat. If the same law-by-decree schemes were happening in Venezuela, the intellectually hamstrung idiots who ‘love’ the President would find it easy to see the base despotism.

But they can’t, because it’s happening to them, and they think they like the decrees. Like so many people, they lack all principle when they see a benefit to themselves in being spineless and cowardly.

Senator Ted Cruz is one of the few with a spine and a voice.

On the Degradation of Rights by Attacking the Most Vulnerable Persons | S/V Danneskjöld

On the Degradation of Rights by Attacking the Most Vulnerable Persons | S/V Danneskjöld

Here on the S/V Danneskjöld we value abiding of the law. Above that, we value human dignity and the rights inherent to that dignity.

Problem is, for years I have viewed “Weapons Under Disability” offenses as a sort of prolonged-probation for violent felony offenders who have been released. Similarly, I took a ‘pragmatic’ approach to the ‘mentally ill,’ because, you know, who wants crazies running around with guns.

Well, I’m here to tell you – I was wrong.

It seems clear now that whatever chink in the armor of human rights is exposed to those determined to run them into the ground, that chink will be exploited. Also, one must think of this as a matter of principle.

We do not enslave someone for their entire lives by virtue of their commission of a crime unless they are sentenced sufficiently that they die while incarcerated or supervised. It is unjust to strip them of a human right inherent to dignity upon their release. That’s not to say they can’t lose civic or participatory rights, like voting or holding public office, but owning the means of personal defense is of a different nature.

The same goes for those who have been deemed mentally fit enough to walk free in the public. If a person is not such a danger that they must be involuntarily held in an institution, than they are not such a danger as to be denied their basic human dignity. That dignity includes the right to effectively protect one’s body from criminal violence.

No, there are NO reasonable exceptions to a persons right to be armed – which is why the fourth amendment talks about ‘reasonableness’ and the second simply states “SHALL NOT.”

Read on to see the poisonous filth the government uses to expand its ever-growing need to control its subjects.

USA Today: ‘Voluntary’ Government Checkpoints Spark Backlash – As they Should

1388605762000-XXX-JG-30553-drunkdriving-10-27-2006-jmg438

This is why the exclusionary rule is insufficient to protect American rights. The requirement that I pause even one second on my free travels for this nonsense is a gross violation of my rights.

A new scheme must be devised, based either on very liberal civil lawsuits without any government intermediary, and the elimination of immunity for violations of civil rights, or something else.

Mere exclusion from use in Court has no influence on a government bent on non-judicial intimidation and conditioning.

New Republic: Losing Your Hospital May Not be a Bad Thing

And so it begins:

The Democrats don’t have any intention of fixing Obamacare. Merely of forcing you to lose your doctor and your cheap coverage long enough that it seems normal to you, so that the next degradation of your health services, and your dignity, also seems incremental and not so great a deal.

Before long those unwilling to accept sub-standard government care will have to go John Q to save their families.

This is how it starts, with the lefty opinion-printers softening the slopes.

USA Threat to World Peace? | S/V Danneskjöld

Well Congratulations USA! Voted greatest threat to world peace!!

Normally I’d be inclined to be jingoistic and upset about such a nomination, but given that the US government believes it has an Orwellian and tyrannical right to all the papers, effects and communications of all people on the earth, both at home and abroad; and given that such invasions have longtime been viewed themselves as acts of war, it’s pretty easy to see why people think of the US as already at war with every living human on the planet.

DMV: 75% of Criminal Aliens Fail Written Driver’s Test – CBS Las Vegas

Observation: Failing the written driver’s test corresponds more highly with a person being a criminal alien than failing a Walk-and-turn Field Sobriety Test does with a person being drunk.

I suppose that makes the failure sufficient probable cause for an arrest?

Or do I have that backward.

The Clermont Sun: Paul Pfeiffer: Court deals with citizen’s arrest

r-PAUL-PFEIFER-JUDGE-large570

1.) This issue has nothing to do with citizen’s arrest.
2.) The Supreme Court of Ohio is the body responsible for authoring the rul complained of here.
3.) The argument concerning ‘Uninended Consequences’ of enforcing the rules as written is a ‘pragmatic’ opinion; which is another word for ‘unprincipled.’

On Gay Marriage | S/V Danneskjöld

The state has no role in the consensual personal interactions of adult citizens. Period. The state should not grant anyone a marriage license, gay or straight. Nor does the state have a role in attempting to push or nudge people to make social decisions the state ‘prefers.’ There should not be tax benefits, or differentiated treatment for married persons. Their affairs should be settled – like the affairs of all other people in all other contested matters – in civil court.

I support the right of gay people to get married, just like I support the right of straight people to get married. But I oppose the state having any role whatsoever.

It is the state’s insertion into people’s private affairs that has restricted people’s rights. The solution isn’t to *expand* state involvement into greater numbers and types of relationships, but instead to expel the state from those relationships entirely.

The evil here is government involvement in the first place.
