Enough is Enough what? Freedom? Liberty?


The #EnoughisEnough hashtag belies a Leftist control fixation against the cause of Liberty.
There is a certain dictatorial twang with that little ditty of a hashtag. It’s use belies an underlying false idea of unearned authority over others. That kind of talk is usually heard from parents or teachers in disciplining a child for bad behaviour. In this case that ‘bad behaviour’ was that we have asserted the right of self-preservation by the means we choose. Perhaps they should realise before it’s too late that we are not the subjects of their false moral authority.

It takes a stunning measure of arrogance to arbitrarily decree the limits of a fellow citizen’s common sense human Rights, but the nation’s socialist-Left was out marching last weekend to do just that. Unlike the enumerated rights in the founding documents that protect the citizens from government tyranny. The Left’s new idea of freedom entails freshly minted “Rights” that allow certain groups to autocratically restrain the Liberty of their fellow citizens. These are “Rights” based more on feelings and intent and not anything of substance.

It would seem that mere laws aren’t ‘good enough’ any more. Apparently there is a new “Right” in town that decrees that just the act of possessing an inanimate object that could be a danger to others is now verboten. Not to mention that being free from being scared is also a new “Right” never contemplated in the annals of civilization.

Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news to those who think that feelings are “Rights” or that Liberty is subservient to potential danger. But that isn’t how a representative republic works. For starters, they should look at how the Oxford English Dictionary defines the word inalienable.
Not subject to being taken away from or given away by the possessor.
One may have the certain inalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness endowed by their Creator, but that doesn’t mean that others don’t have them as well. The sword of equality cuts both ways. Merely possessing an object capable of causing death or destruction cannot be a standard by which Liberty is parcelled out. Neither is the false standard of fear to be the mode by which freedom is measured.

To the surprise of no one, criminals across the country are exploiting the chaos to steal guns

In an epic failure of liberty control, the current chaos is giving thieves a perfect opportunity to try and steal some guns. Criminals across the country have been trying to take advantage of the chaos to burglarise gun stores, attempting to break into the shops and steal what they can. This while law enforcement has been busy with the protests and looting that broke out everywhere. Some have noted a decided increase in this type of crime, with the thieves only meeting partial success. Word has it that the ATF has complimented some stores for their security measures that prevented loss of inventory to the miscreants. If anything, this should show that  liberty control  is a fool’s errand since criminals will always find a way to obtain guns. The end result of these policies is that the innocent and even law enforcement are then at the mercy of the worst of society.

Meanwhile, Tom Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee  called for a “recanvass”  of the results of the Iowa caucuses.

It should be noted that  Pete Buttigieg paid Shadow Inc , the Iowa caucus app company, tens of thousands of dollars in recent months. Originally

Gun Confiscation SWATing: Shooting down due process

Image
A new video from the Firearms Policy Coalition highlights the dangers to Liberty and due process posed by so-called ‘Red Flag’ Laws. Gun confiscation SWATing, Extreme risk protective orders or so-call ‘Red Flag’ Laws are all the rage of the Liberty grabber Left and RINO’s these days. It’s bad enough that these unnecessary and unconstitutional violations of everyone’s due process rights are being ‘Rahmed’ through on a state level. But both the US House and Senate have their own versions. The latter co-sponsored by Senator Marco ‘RINO’ Rubio (R-FL) with the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on March 26 . In a case of trying to solve a rare but emotionally charged problem, these will only serve to create an even bigger problem destroying several civil and human rights in the process. We’ve already established that this type of legislation is unnecessary since Involuntary Civil Commitment laws that protect due process rights are already on the books. Thus we hav
