You Owe Them Nothing – Not Respect, Not Loyalty, Not Obedience – Kurt Schlichter

Now it seems we actually have a new social contract – do what we say and don’t resist, and in return we’ll abuse you, lie about you, take your money, and look down upon you in contempt. What a bargain!It’s not a social contract anymore – American society today is a suicide pact we never agreed to and yet we’re expected to go first.I say “No.”We owe them nothing – not respect, not loyalty, not obedience. Nothing.

Sultan Knish: The Right to Happiness is the Antidote to Tyranny

Modern revolutions are solution-based. So are modern governments. Redistribute the wealth. Power to the workers. Put X in charge. Strengthen Laws Y through Z. Impose your will on everyone else.

Independence Day!

I’m a vet. Took the oath then. Took it again when hired in a government job. Taken the same oath twice. Never been relieved of said oath. To misquote Thomas Paine, my job is to protect my country from my government. That’s why the oath is to the Constitution, not the government.

Sultan Knish: A Socialist Les Miserables in Venezuela

Venezuelan socialists used the familiar language of claiming that subsidies and free services were human rights. “Health care can’t be privatized because it is a fundamental human right,” Chavez once claimed. That should sound familiar. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have said the same thing.

But Venezuela’s universal health care has no actual medicine. Hospitals have no running water or soap. Victims arrive with gunshots and aren’t treated until they settle their bill. Babies die routinely.

Japan’s top court has approved blanket surveillance of the country’s Muslims | Asia | News | The Independent

However, the presiding judges did not make a judgment on police profiling and surveillance tactics which a lower court had upheld as “necessary and inevitable” to guard against international terrorism.

Exactly what needs to be done here. Islam and Muslims are threats to life, freedom and security anywhere they congregate.
