Once again, I’M BAAAACK! This time because I’m retired and have nothing but time. My plan is to post at least once a week, hopefully more.
Now on to my subject.
I make it no secret my opinion of liberal Democrats, leftists, flower children, etc. And for the record, those extreme right wing groups that advocate violence first without an attempt to negotiate are high on my list either. Not that I’m against resulting to violence IF the situation dictates. But it better be damn serious.
We watch these black clad groups show up and attack peaceful protestors without provocation. And what makes it worse is LEO has been seen just standing around doing little to nothing. Only when both sides begin the physical clash do they get involved and then it’s too late and they are well outnumbered. And when they do arrest some they almost immediately turn them loose.
The weather and the time of year have kept things quite for now but wait for spring.
Here’s a suggestion. If LEO says they don’t have the manpower to proper protect groups the deputize citizen volunteers. Give them training, equipment, and support in the form of say 1 officer for every 5 or 10 volunteer. And make it clear that abuse will not be tolerated. That it WILL result in prosecution equal to those that confront when on duty. I’m not talking vigilantes; I’m talking about law loving citizens.
The majority of Americans are law abiding citizens who only want to be able to live their lives in peace and safety. The problem has come about because criminals now have more rights the We The People. What good does it do to arrest then release within hours only to have them do it again. As the old saying goes wash, rinse, dry, repeat. We, as a free and liberty loving society cannot continue to exist under these conditions.
What is the source of this? What is the driving force? I say it’s Big Government. Anybody ever heard of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution?
It says “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
What is 10th Amendment in simple terms? The Tenth Amendment says that the Federal Government only has those powers delegated in the Constitution. If it isn’t listed, it belongs to the states or to the people. So how did the FEDERAL government gain all this power in spite of what it says in the Constitution?
Simple.
We The People let it happen. Too many have forgotten, mostly because we don’t teach it in these indoctrination centers the public schools have been turned into, what the Constitution says and is. Imagine the government we would have if we did. A whole bunch of Professional Politicians would be out of business, not that that would be bad thing.
My whole point is We The People need to take back the control of OUR country and OUR government. The problem is a lack of education on this subject and, most of all, a lack of interest on the part of a majority of Americans in getting involved even it’s just by voting. Believe me, Professional Politicians pay attention that.

Thank you for the kind and supporting words. Now that I am retired, retired, retired (Army, private security, locksmith believe it or not) I have decided to try to make regular entries at least once a week. I also write Letters to the Editor in the Rhino Times quite often.
Define young LOL.
No I didn’t. That was one of things I kept saying I was going to do.
