“Rightful Liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

The law that is often “but the tyrant’s will” is that affirmative legislation and regulation enacted to wrest control our lives, liberties and estates and fix them under legislative jurisdiction.

In a scathing editorial published August 18, titled, A Flawed Background-Check System, the New York Times takes to task the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the detrimental effect the agency’s inability to conduct accurate checks has had on job seekers. The Times notes that “F.B.I. background checks are widely viewed as the gold standards but are in fact woefully flawed, often based on fallible and incomplete data.”
… However, the Times editorial board had no such qualms about the efficacy of the FBI’s system earlier this year when it lent its full-throated support to legislation that would have expanded background checks for firearm purchasers

The recent editorial’s emphasis on protecting the rights of those simply arrested for, but not convicted of, crimes might also lead one to believe that the Times is a staunch defender of due process. However, in June, a Times editorial argued that those placed on the “terror watch-list” by the same government agency the Times accuses of being unable to conduct a proper background check should be summarily barred from owning guns. Those on the watch list have not necessarily even met the level of scrutiny required for an arrest.

With the Times recognizing the FBI’s background-check system as “woefully flawed,” it is ironic that the paper would advocate for millions more people to be burdened by it. This latest episode illustrates that the Times is singling out which civil liberties it deems legitimate, and that despite a body of historical evidence and the opinion of the Supreme Court in Heller and McDonald, the individual right to armed self-defense protected by the Second Amendment isn’t one of them.

Leftists condemn the FBI’s background check system and procedures as nothing short of tyrannical, except when used against Americans that act on their constitutional duties.

Under a section labeled “Extremist Ideologies” the document states, “In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.”

… it is striking that some the language in this new document echoes the IRS targeting language of conservative and Tea Party investigations. After reviewing this document, one can’t help but worry for the future and morale of our nation’s armed forces

The Associated Press, USA Today, The New York Times, MSNBC, Yahoo News and the Huffington Post were among the media outlets that trumpeted the story of supposed racism, homophobia and anti-Semitism run amok at my alma mater. Throughout the winter, anti-black and anti-gay graffiti, swastikas, and a shadowy figure in a “KKK hood” surfaced on the tiny campus outside Cleveland, Ohio. Black Entertainment Television News decried the hate outbreaks and “KKK sighting.”
…
The orgy of self-flagellation swelled. Liberal grievance-mongers applauded the administration’s decision to shut down classes. Faculty, students and opportunists took to the airwaves and the Internet to bemoan “white privilege,” institutional bigotry, lack of diversity, yada, yada, yada.

… college campuses … most fertile grounds for fake hate

» Common Core: Children Morphed Into Human Capital – Tracking Children By Blood Type, Birth Marks, Eye Color

Underway is the change of the standard ‘Human Resources Management’ to ‘The Strategic Management of Human Capital.’ In the end, the design is that your child becomes “human capital” to enter the “workforce.”
…
The entire program circumvented Congress. Your state or national elected representatives have nothing to do with the implementation of Common Core, although they can stop it now.

…

Some years ago, Outcome Based Education was shot down by parents when they awoke to what was really going on…the tracking of children and “master” planning for society based on creating good little trained monkeys for the workplace. Children are people. We need to stop treating them like widgets being stamped out at a factory.

From the comments:

I see the ruling elites are preparing the future proletariat workers for their menial jobs. Why actually teach them to read, write and do arithmetic? Just give them enough education to fill out a welfare form or a menial job. And of course to vote Democrat forever.

Though Obama may not possess business expertise, he does have one important ingredient that all businesses require: a purpose. Any business organization needs a mission to create a sense of direction and effectively allocate resources. But aims are useful only if they trigger action.
Mission statements of companies describe their overarching purpose and delineate their corporate culture. From the onset of his presidency, Obama has concentrated his aim into a single memorable purpose — to incrementally take down the exceptional United States. And as America’s debt increases and its ability to be strong decreases, Obama’s ideology to alter American exceptionalism seems to be producing the desired results.
…
too many Americans never directly attribute the downgrading of the country to Obama’s regulations, laws, and disdain for the guiding principles of the United State

The New York Times, a faithful shill for Al’s snake-oil elixir, following the wagon from town to town, got an advance copy of the U.N. report and gives out with the “good” news: It’s a “near certainty” that humans are responsible for the rising temperatures of recent decades, and warns that by the end of the century all the little people — small children, midgets and others whose growth was stunted by drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes at an early age — will be up to their belly buttons in salt water. The seas will rise by more than three feet.
The inconvenient truth Al and the junk scientists have to deal with is that temperatures aren’t rising, but falling. In fact, since the early 1990s we’ve had global cooling. It got so embarrassing Al and the junk scientists started calling it “climate change.” Some days it rains, some days it doesn’t and some days it’s a little of both.
…
We were scheduled to see an enormous melting of polar ice by now, but even the ice won’t co-operate. The U.S. Navy forecasts twice as much mid-September ice this year as it measured in 2012.
The only way to deal with the inconvenient truth is to bellow and bawl the convenient whopper louder than ever.
…
When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.”
That’s too bad, because when science and scientists one day discover a genuine crisis, nobody will listen. We’re up to our ears already in snake oil.

Many people are noticing the uptick in young black males attacking, and in some recent cases, killing, white people. One of the connections that joins them all appears just below the surface. Each of these events are connected, and each of these connections are being totally ignored by the media.

A Korean War veteran who has owned a movie theater in central Kentucky for more than three decades is refusing to run “The Butler” due to the anti-Vietnam War stance of one of its lead actresses.

Ike Boutwell, who opened MoviePalace and Showtime Cinemas in Elizabethtown in the 1980s, told the News-Enterprise that in all these years he has not, to his knowledge, let one movie with Jane Fonda play in his theater.
… Boutwell considers Fonda a traitor for her statements and demonstrations against the Vietnam War, leading him to ban films in which she appears from his theater.

“I trained hundreds of pilots to fly, many of whom Ms. Fonda clapped and cheered as they were shot down … I just really think it’s a slap in the face to have a person of treason portray a patriotic lady, Mrs. Reagan,”

Mr. Boutwell will be branded a racist. If this story manages to rise to mainstream levels, the leftist race-mongers that are already making the movie itself about racism will not pass on an opportunity to flash their worn out race cards.

I went to a party recently where someone was bashful to admit that he bought his own place. A room full of renters were ready to give him grief for having the means to pay a mortgage or the certitude and resolve to put down roots in one place.
