Behead All Those Who Insult Free Speech

Via WRSA

 Hey, how about one of my heroes, General Loan, to the rescue?  You want to behead us, how about we strike first?

As I posted a few days ago, Payback's a bitch.

A few minutes left to live. 

 

 

Saigon Police Chief Executes VC Officer TET "68

 Saigon Cholon Fighting (Short One)

 Lém was captured and brought to Loan, then Chief of National Police of the Republic of Vietnam. Using his sidearm, a Smith & Wesson Model 38 "Bodyguard", Nguyễn Ngọc Loan summarily executed Lém in front of AP photographer Eddie Adams and NBC television cameraman Vo Suu. 

South Vietnamese sources attested that Lém commanded a Vietcong death squad, which on that day had murdered South Vietnamese National Police officers, or in their stead, the police officers' families; these sources said that Lém was captured near the site of a ditch holding as many as thirty-four bound and shot bodies of police and their relatives, some of whom were the families of Loan's deputy, and six of whom were Nguyễn's godchildren.

Encouraged by President Obama’s and Secretary Clinton’s prostrations before the howling mob, the U.N.’s No. 2 honcho explains free speech:

Free speech is a “gift given to us by the [Universal] Declaration of Human Rights,” said Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations Jan Eliasson during a press conference on October 2nd at UN headquarters in New York.  It is “a privilege,” Eliasson said, “that we have, which in my view involves also the need for respect, the need to avoid provocations.”

Free speech is a gift given to us in 1948 by U.N. officials? Who knew?

The only appropriate response of free-born peoples to such a statement is: **** off, ******.

Free speech is not in the gift of minor Swedish timeserving hack bureaucrats, either to grant or withdraw.

Where is the “respect”, by the way, in “Behead the enemies of Islam”? Under the not so subtle evolution of “free speech” advanced by the likes of Obama and Eliasson, you’ll be shackled by “respect” and “the need to avoid provocations” but kindergartners will still be able to parade around the local park demanding “Behead all those who insult the Prophet.”

In the end, the one-way multiculturalism of craven squishes like Eliasson will destroy our world.
Nuts to him and to the U.N.

As I discuss in my syndicated column this week, the Welfare State perpetuates poverty.

"There are no jobs!" That is what people told me outside a government "jobs center" in New York City.

To check this out, I sent four researchers around the area. They quickly found 40 job openings. Twenty-four were entry-level positions. One restaurant owner told me he would hire 12 people if workers would just apply.

It made me wonder what my government does in buildings called "job centers." So I asked a college intern, Zoelle Mallenbaum, to find out. Here's what she found:

"First I went to the Manhattan Jobs Center and asked, "Can I get help finding a job?" They told me they don't do that. ‘We sign people up for food stamps.' I tried another jobs center. They told me to enroll for unemployment benefits."

So the "jobs" centers help people get handouts. Neither center suggested people try the 40 job openings in the neighborhood.

But some people, like my college intern, don't want the handout:

"I wanted a job. I was told to go to ‘WorkForce1,' a New York City program... Finally, I met with an ‘adviser.' She told me I lacked experience. I know this. I asked for any job she thought I was qualified for, and she scheduled an interview at Pret, a food chain that trains employees. At Pret, I learned that my ‘interview' was just a weekly open house, publicized on the company's website. Anyone could walk in and apply. Workforce1 offered no advantage. Despite my ‘scheduled interview,' I waited 90 minutes before meeting a manager. He told me that WorkForce1 had ‘wasted my time, as they always do.' He said, ‘They never call, never ask questions.' He prefers to hire people who seek out jobs on their own, like those who see Pret ads on Craigslist.'"

Excellent: New England’s Mission of Enlightenment

 

 Lincoln had it in his power to end his war upon the American people in the South and return the two country’s to a peaceful condition. Facing an unpopular war and dwindling enlistments, he resorted to the same incitement of slave insurrection as Lord Dunmore, Royal Governor of Virginia in 1775, did in order to defeat the American colonists bid for political independence. As George III used Hessians against the colonists, Lincoln’s emissaries scoured Ireland and Europe for soldiers kill Americans for bounties and eleven dollars a month.

New England’s Mission of Enlightenment:

“The war grows. It becomes gigantic and absorbs all the insane energy of a notion of [Yankee] peddlers and shopkeepers. Reeling and tottering under the enormous blows of the South, the Northern Emperor has steadied himself by the very weight of the burdens heaped on him…..Curious is that people, curious the whole conformation of the Yankee mind. Crazy with the lust for blood---soulless as the hyena, tearing up the very bodies of the dead---mad with rage at the rich empire torn from their grasp---they fight with blind thirst for blood and spoil, closing their eyes obdurately on the inevitable Fate.

Whipped, disgraced, laughed at; degraded before all the world and stamped as bully and boaster---the Falstaff and Pistol combined, of history---that race essays a last and desperate expedient; decreeing war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt---a war in which a whole people shall fight.

Future ages will stand aghast at the madness which made a Baboon, Dictator---and yielded to the clutch of the grimacing animal the purse and the sword of a whole nation. To a commonplace person the act looks dangerous---but our Northern friends have a wondrous stock of generous and confiding simplicity. It is true that he “bastilles” his subjects occasionally, and the public good requires measures apparently harsh; but then all is for the cause, and the cause is holy---the emancipation of their fellow creatures, and the reestablishment of the glorious Union. The glorious Union is so glorious a thing that all is pardoned in its glorious defender. So the Emperor reigns, and holds the purse and the sword; and his dynasty is established in the “Great City.”

Will his billions of money and millions of recruits do any good however? They could conquer us so easily with 75,000 men we were once told---leaving 25,000 at Washington, not to protect it, but because they we not needed. Two years have brought them opposite Fredericksburg---the path is marked out be half a million graves. How many of the new millions be buried in Virginia? It is safe to say the number will not be small.

Why do these people put themselves to the trouble of coming down to get themselves killed? Did they always hate us, as Randolph of Roanoke used to think and say, and be regarded as a snarling cynic for his pains? Do they really love the Negro, and actually think that the old government was an empire, and not a Federation of Sovereigns? Do they honestly believe that Virginia became a province when she declared herself a “free and independent State”---or abdicated her God-given sovereignty in ’88 when she signed the Federal Constitution? If she did, her act is null and void. For no generation can barter sovereignty, and divest their posterity of that priceless treasure, any more than men can decree their grandchildren to be bondslaves. The very thought would be sacrilege. For the sovereignty of States like human freedom is the gift of God, not of man, and sacred.

They are going to turn the slaves loose on us. They are making black regiments. The last device of hell is openly employed---the arming of slaves and incitement to servile insurrection. The civilized world has protested in the name of God and man against this enormity---has branded it as the most colossal crime of which a government can be guilty. But Europe is very far off, and the Washington government has not much character to lose. So it enrolls its Negroes---it invites its colored friends to resume their freedom; without unnecessary violence, if possible; but to resume it.

The Chasseurs D’Afrique are already enrolled; and a regiment is on the soil of Virginia---at Winchester. This advanced guard of liberated warriors is supported by reserves of Dutch, Irish, German, and other foreign patriots who fight upon the broad principle of eleven dollars a month and rations. They, like their master at Washington, have little doubt that the worn out and cowardly race of the Old Dominion will yield to them without much fighting; and that “booty and beauty” will crown their virtuous exertions, and reward them for all their hardships and privations. Worthy gentlemen! Picturesque mixture of slaves and jailbirds---of Dutch and Irish and Negroes and Yankees!

The “great New England race” descended from the “Pilgrim fathers” famed in song and story is in its mission of enlightenment and civilization to the barbarous nations of the South. They come as of old, in the early days, with the peaceful arguments of the sword and musket---and if these mild instruments of persuasion fail, they have ironclads and rifled hundred-pounders to speak further in their behalf.”

NC: Beware Of The Energy Conservation Code ‘Tsunami’

 

 I received an email of anguish from a friend of mine who is in business creating small and mid-size storage / warehouse type buildings. His business is local. His problem: A new edict from above on NC State building codes.

This building code was passed by the legislature in the State, but did not originate there. It was created by the Building Code Council and based on the International Code Council. Within this construct is something called the NCECC ( North Carolina Energy Conservation Code) that regulates energy conservation in new construction. This NCECC edict was funded by the Federal Department of Energy (DOE). The book on this 2012 Building Code can be bought here. The first line of the description states: “The 2012 North Carolina Building Code is based on the 2009 International Building Code.”

Can you tell where this is going? The mandates in this NC 2012 Building Code, according to my businessman friend, are draconian. One example he gave to me was the requirement for higher cost, higher temperature containment insulation for even the simplest buildings such as he creates for his customers. Why is that draconian? Because it causes costs of these buildings (using a pun) to go through the roof!! This prices out some of his customers. Either he eats the increase or the customer eats it. Both ways, this is bad for business viability. (stating the obvious) Could the marketplace decide this on its own? Yes. Could there be options? Yes. But no….the Code is a mandate. Building and Construction businesses will have no options. They are told what they must sell. Customers are told what they must buy.

State Dems Introduce Bill To Effectively Kill Concealed Carry

Freedom Outpost

VERBATIM

Bill Patmon and Ted Celeste, two Ohio Democrat State Representatives are co-sponsoring a bill, HB595, which would essentially reverse the current law.
According to the bill it is

“to generally prohibit a person from having a firearm on privately owned land or premises unless the person owns, controls, or resides on or in the land or premises, has permission of the owner or person who controls the land or premises and, if the land or premises is rental property, of the tenant when required, or is the tenant with respect to those premises.”

It “applies to any person, including a concealed handgun licensee.”
The current law allows a person to carry concealed on private property unless there is a sign that prohibits law-abiding Concealed Carry Weapon permit (CCW) holders to stay out. The new bill would now require CCW licensees to obtain permission from any and all properties that they would step foot on with their weapon.

It would also require non-tenants on rented or leased property to also obtain permission before venturing onto property with a firearm.

With this piece of legislation, one could not enter a business, a residence or any private property with their weapons unless they had obtained oral or written permission from the owner to do so.
Why would this effectively kill concealed carry? Consider that a person might visit more than a dozen different homes and places of business during the day. Also consider the fact that it restricts the Constitution’s Second Amendment right to not only keep but bear arms.

Persons and businesses who agree with CCW being allowed on their property or place of business could provide blanket authorization in the form of a sign posted on the property, but it really is unnecessary considering the law of the land, the US Constitution provides that right in the first place.
Rep Patmon had already submitted further legislation earlier this year in June that would

“prohibit any person from storing or leaving a firearm in the person’s residence unless the firearm is secured in safe storage or rendered inoperable by a tamper-resistant lock or other safety device if the person knows or reasonably should know that a minor is able to gain access to the firearm and to provide criminal penalties if a minor gains unauthorized access to a firearm not so stored or rendered inoperable.”

My question to those of you in Ohio is “Why are you putting up with such people are your representatives?”

With the shots fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, the War Between the States officially began. Railroading would play a key role in the Civil War, providing logistical support and carrying munitions, supplies and troops to each side's respective armies in the field. Lacking the financial power and the more standardized rail system of their Northern counterparts, Southern-held railroads relied heavily on the ingenuity of their railroad men to support the troops. A typical Confederate consist featured an assortment of commandeered railing stock bearing the names of a variety of Southern railroads.
