Rand Paul: “I think Republicans will not win again in my lifetime........
Via avordvet
........unless they become a new GOP, a new Republican Party,” Paul said evenly. “And it has to be a transformation. Not a little tweaking at the edges.”
Paul remained noncommittal about his own speculated presidential ambitions, but said he believes people “from both parties” would rally to a candidate that said “we just need to turn over on all this” and advocated issues like term limits, reading the bills, and single-purpose bills.
The senator expressed little interest in the formation of a third party.
“I think that … you can transform a party,” he maintained. “…I’ve worked for a third party candidate, a guy that was my dad. It’s very difficult. The laws are set against you.”

Expert: Child euthanasia a 'logical progression'
When Belgium, on the heels of the Netherlands, passed a measure in 2002 legalizing euthanasia amid fierce opposition, it limited the practice to adults.
Now, 12 years later, after an emotional debate, Belgium’s parliament Thursday voted to make the European nation the first in the world to remove age restrictions on euthanasia.
Americans should take heed, warns a leading opponent of the so-called “aid-in-dying” movement, Rita Marker, who believes activists in the U.S. who helped pass assisted-suicide laws in Oregon and Washington state are similarly monitoring the political winds and moving in incremental steps toward laws with little or no restrictions.
“Belgium is just a poster country for where this goes,” Marker told WND in an interview.

NC: Ain’t that Amerika?
Via LH
A paramilitary team operated by North Carolina’s Wilson County Sheriff’s Office recently executed what was described as a “high risk search warrant” on a narcotics suspect. The members of the “Emergency Response Team,” clad
in black armor, bucket helmets, and balaclavas, found what “nearly a
pound of marijuana” – which could be the yield from a single healthy
plant – and a single handgun.
A photograph taken by an embedded correspondent for the Wilson Times newspaper showed two of the masked SWAT operators in full military regalia. One of them bore, ‘mid snow and ice, a tactical shield inscribed with a strange device – “Defender.”
To those not of an Orwellian cast of mind, it’s not clear what or whom the stormtroopers were defending. Peace officers don’t dress that way, nor do they conduct military-style raids to arrest people suspected of non-violent offenses. Perhaps most importantly, peace officers don’t wear masks to hide their identity from the people they are supposedly protecting.

NC: Bear Creek Arsenal
So Just Who Is Bear Creek Arsenal …. Here's The Story…
Bear Creek Arsenal is owned and operated by the Moore family. They have a long history here in our North Carolina not only as master machinist but as shooters, armorers and craftsmen.
Until now Bear Creek has been mostly known behind the scenes in the firearms community for making custom barrels, complex receivers, and high end private label rifle parts for builders across the country.
More recently, their sister company, Moore's Machine, introduced a base level AR-15 to the market. This is a rifle that we carried for a while, stopped carrying, and then re-introduced after extensive testing and becoming comfortable with their newly found level of consistent quality. After being re-introduced, they were a huge success!
Recently, in their ongoing effort to produce the finest rifle possible, the Moore family has taken the entire MMC operation and moved it to their dedicated custom facility at their Bear Creek Arsenal location. At Bear Creek Arsenal, each rifle is built from the ground up on dedicated equipment and under the direct oversight and quality control of the Moore family themselves.
Since we re-introduced the MMC rifles in late 2013 the quality has always been good, but now under the new Bear Creek Arsenal banner, we think it is even better.
Buyers will notice a nicer finish, smoother lines, higher quality markings, and a more professional fit and finish than ever before. They feed as smooth as glass and the accuracy rivals that of many custom guns.
We are convinced that these are the best bang for the rifle buck of any gun in America! For shooters, by shooters, that is Bear Creek Arsenal.

John Podesta, key player in administration’s regulation drive, also helped UN develop radical new global agenda
Via Jeffery
John Podesta, the former Clinton Administration chief of staff who is spearheading President Barack Obama’s aggressive strategy of government-by-regulation, has also been helping United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon with an even more ambitious job: setting the stage to radically transform the world’s economic, environmental and social agenda.
That effort—a colossal and sweeping form of global behavior modification--is supposed to get a new kick-start at a special U.N. summit of world leaders to be convened by Ban in New York City on September 25.
Its supporters hope that effort will end next year in a new international treaty that will bind all 193 U.N. members-- including the U.S-- to a still formless “universal sustainable development agenda” for the planet that will take effect in 2020.

[The] constitutional
security for `the right to keep and bear arms’ implies the right to use them …
This is the only remedy suggested by the Constitution, and is necessarily the
only remedy that can exist, when the government becomes so corrupt as to afford
no peaceable one. The people have a legal right to resort to this remedy at all
times, when the government goes beyond, or contrary to, the Constitution. And
it is only a matter of discretion with them whether to resort to it at any
particular time.
