Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact— and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of the Court’s claimed power to create “liberties” that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves

A day of recoging WILL come to the left, and when it does, I will smile gleefully. And I think that day wont be long off.

God is still on His throne and in the end, His opinion will be upheld.

It’s OK folks.

Like free market capitalism, self government is a failed 18th century experiment.

Humans are not meant to be peaceful, enlightened, self-determinant individuals. We are meant to use force against one another to dominate and skew systems and resources in our favor.

That is the way it went for thousands of years. That is the way it will continue. Although, it is fun to reminisce and to think of what might have been.

On the plus side, this opens up our options to own nuclear weapons, etc. Just because the Founding Fathers didn’t specifically mention them (just as they didn’t mention homosexuality), that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a “natural extension” of the right to bear arms.
