Another Good Quote

"How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual... as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of." -- Texas State Representative Suzanna Gratia Hupp

Wonderful things happening in the Montana state government

I love the state of Montana. Although not perfect, it is a wonderful place to be. I say this with apprehension because I really don't want a flock of people moving here and making it the same as many other states. But nevertheless, at considerable risk, I will share the good news. Many new and interesting bills have been introduced, some of them successful (or appearing to be so far) and some not. The right of self defense is an important one and the one that should be least messed with. It is the most basic fundamental right we have. Without which, no other rights can stand. If you can't defend yourself, you can hardly speak up for yourself, publicly worship, fearlessly pursue life, liberty and happiness, or any of the other basic human rights. Every creature under heaven will defend itself the best way it can if attacked. That is how we and they were made. Jesus clearly gave up that right when He went to the cross because He very explicitly stated that He could defend himself with unstoppable force. So clearly He was familiar with self defense. He even implies its use in other passages that I won't get into here. Anyway, recently Montana has sent to the governors office HB246 stating that the federal government has no more right to regulate firearms made, sold, and remaining in Montana than they do any other intrastate commerce. Basically, it is an attempt to regain some state rights. It is sad that we have to work to take back "rights" that can't be taken away in the first place. We also have HB228 which puts the burden of proof back on the state (rather than the victim) in a situation where force had to be used by the victim. Although we lost some cool things in this bill as it has worked its way though the system, it so far has remained a great thing. I am happy to see some state governments stand up to what has become far far too large of a federal government. Now if only we could get them to refuse this stupid stimulus money! Now for something really cool.... check out the Montana soveirgnty resolution here... http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/lchtml/LC1170.htm

Good day my friends!

Update: This is now HR3 and the new link is http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/billhtml/HR0003.htm

I've been pondering......

If a man alone out in the woods speaks out loud, and there happens to be no woman around to her him, is he still wrong???

Couldn't help myself

Look familiar?

This financial crises is forcing companies to make some tough decisions. If things don't take a turn for the better soon..... we may have to lay off Andre.

So Obvious

Ok, I haven't posted anything for awhile so I figured I better do so. Either that or just do away with the blog. Maybe you think that would be the best idea and maybe you would be right. Probably not for the same reasons that I have though. Blogging seems to me to be a real waste of time. Here you have all these people that say they don't have time to do anything productive but yet they have large fancy blogs with new postings everyday. Ok, I won't get into that any further as me voicing these opinions will make some people very upset with me. Probably because they will know it is true. Hey, if you like sitting at the computer instead of facing reality, that is fine by me. It is a free country. Just remember that I have a free speech right too. And believe it or not, your free speech right is upheld by the right to bear arms. If that right goes, your free speech right will soon be gone, along with all your other rights. In this "age of the wimp" it seems so hard for people to understand this. It is easier to just bury your head in the sand and hope all goes well. Our fearless leader and his cronies seem bent on taking this right away (as if a right can be taken away). Their latest reason to restrict us..... Mexico!! Because Mexico has problems with drug cartels getting full auto weapons, grenades, and RPGs, we should not be aloud to have guns to defend and supply for ourselves. How may I ask, is you getting rid of your sks going to stop the Mexican drug lords from getting military weapons that have been illegal for us as private citizens to have for many many years? It is so obvious what the intent of our fearless leaders is. Why is Mexico having problems? Because citizens can do nothing about it! The strict gun laws have done nothing to keep the drug lords from obtaining weapons. It HAS kept the citizens from defending themselves and prevented them from doing anything about their extremely corrupt government. Our fearless leader threatens to do harm to the only bright spot in the economy right now and I predict that if he does, the same will happen to him that happened to ol' Billy boy. If you recall, he lost the house and senate after the first two years. I still have faith in the American way. I have faith that we will remain the greatest country in existence. I have faith that we will stand up for our rights and not let them be taken away. I have faith that despite what I see as a push for socialism and the destruction of the middle class, America will return to their ideals. Lets raise our kids as Americans. Lets raise our kids to make a difference in the country. There is no reason kids have to be indoctrinated to todays world system. Lets do our job as parents and raise them to be what they should be, not what some government system wants them to be. I'll not cave in. Thanks for reading.
