Liberty Nuts Called To Duty For Independence In 2009.

Posted by John Longenecker on Sunday, December 21, 2008 1:45:25 PM

A new e-book summons liberty purists to edify and invigorate the electorate in a new media blitz.

_____________________________________

   This is long overdue. As of today, December 22nd, I’m launching my e-book to summon other liberty purists who know Sovereignty and Independence to reach the rest of the electorate.
   Isn’t this being done already?
   Well, sort of. Most new media do a great job of spotting the issues, exposing boondoggles, as I say, stating the outrage, but even some of the best analysis from our favorite pundits amounts to only news analysis and commentary, and carries only about one-third of what is really needed in mustering the liberty spirit in the electorate. The result is that we wind up talking to each other. For all the new media, including the very best of Talkradio, we get the feeling that we've been preaching to the choir.
   America is waiting to hear what we do about it. That would be more than citing law, more than U.S. History, more than what’s at stake – that hasn’t worked; it will be a connectivity to the home in a whole new content of understanding. The liberty purists understand it as Original Intent; For some, it's too close to skipping a generation.
   Are you a Liberty Nut? Are you a member of the Choir? Do you feel called to get involved if only you could connect? Are you a purist who knows the truths and spirit of what Sovereignty and Independence are really all about and how to get them back? Even if you can’t carry a tune, you can still sing the music of Independence. Even if your song is only one note, you can spread the concept among seven different media.
   And that’s only the beginning. Visit www.LibertyNut.com for more information.
   2007 and 2008 were a stunning awakening for most Americans that our government was way too big. This was as predicted by the Constitution Nuts, the Preparedness Nuts, the Gun Nuts, the bloggers and commentators who sounded like they were only complaining. O, to be simply independent from our servants once again.
   Liberty in America is still a concept some here have never known, and it’s getting worse. Independence won’t come from waiting for our officials to get it. It will come only from a more-than-grassroots movement of the Sovereign, and the purists who have been warning of these hazards are the best thought leaders likely to show the way back home.

Another School Shooting As Sheriffs and Chiefs Vex Their Greatest Ally.

Posted by John Longenecker on Sunday, December 07, 2008 12:50:19 PM
Refusing to renew current concealed carry permits until applicants can show cause frustrates thousands. Not to mention that this is not where crime is fought.

By John Longenecker

Of late – as if not every single week these days – too many law enforcement Chiefs Of Police and Sheriffs are opposing concealed carry and second amendment rights on their own initiative. As with Orange County, California, more and more Sheriffs are demanding of their Concealed Carry Citizens that they show cause for their CCW renewals. Can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys? How do they determine who is officer candidate eligible? This is, of course, vexing and actionable, and citizens so affected need to file official complaints and demand compliance with the law to wipe out this nutty idea of having to show cause for the exercise of a civil right. Sheriffs who introduce requirements not stated in the law must stand down and remember who they work for.
   As we know, 2A is the lethal force which backs our citizen authority as supreme in our system, and freezing more citizens out of the process is an interference with the exercise of that authority. It is in this concept that non-gun owners are beneficiaries of gun rights efforts. Examples of further such interferences are boondoggles such as anti-crime policies which mandate all citizens to comply with greater intrusion, personal tracking and other unreasonable mandates. This is not where crime is fought. Crime is fought by the alliance of citizen and law enforcement, not by the exclusion of the citizen. I don't know how belligerent the new administration will get on takings of weapons across America in missing this point, but the fraud of coaxing people or frustrating people to disarm and thereby increase crime statistics is well underway.
   Instead, citizens are buying more guns, not in anticipation of confrontation with officials, but in the reasonable expectation that officials will continue to do the wrong thing in handling crime just as they've done the wrong thing in handling money, only worse. It's likely to come in the form of further frustrating victim rights, interference with our own reasonable use of force, defiance of laws already in place for self-defense, and new mandates which never touch crime, but criminalize or restrain you, the non-gun owner. It's important for every non gun owner to understand how gun laws profoundly affect them on so many non-gun issues. Americans are buying more guns and becoming gun owners because they have come to realize that we are on our own. Citizens are the Sovereign under our system, and this mistaken idea that officials are the Sovereign in America is killing the country.  Any rule that states that we have to show cause for the exercise of such a right must be litigated.
   Armed citizens, by their omnipresence, very ably impeach nearly all of the ineffective so-called anti-violence policies, inside law enforcement and outside law enforcement, and officials work harder to crush the very idea of reasonable resistance purely to hide this rather obvious fact. This alone impeaches the need to show cause.
   As further evidence, this insistence doesn't seem to afflict all of law enforcement management, where their better advice elsewhere is to arm the citizen, not disarm them. In more than forty states, the reports of how violence is handled makes a lot more sense for a community than the vexing policies of the major cities do. They disagree with their brother officers who demand you show cause and in their own jurisdictions, see the citizen a little differently. Why? Given decades of appraisal and half a chance, the right to carry states have shown that the armed citizen plays a vital role in control of violence, as an ally of law enforcement, and why not? This is in part because of their on-scene presence, and in greater part in the fact that citizens have all the authority they need to stop a crime in progress. Those Chiefs and Sheriffs supporting concealed carry know it, they affirm it and employ it in building the relationship in the interests of their community, and they have safer communities. How's that for oath of office and doing the right thing?
  Bloodless as it may at first seem, the boondoggle of disarming Americans in every way of disenfranchisement and corruption is quite bloody as violence escalates for lack of resistance in authority, namely our own. Losing your home, your credit, your reputation to corruption is just as bad for the country as violence has been from corruption. The career ladder of presiding over crisis has got to shift to presiding over prosperity and liberty once again.
   It can be done. More to come.
