You know it has been said that ‘The best defense is a good offense’. We examine things around us daily, I hope. Weekly, I know. One of the biggest gripes I think we have is the way things in the city are handled.
Recently, an armed robber was prowling the Marigny area. Finally an armed citizen stopped him. This has prompted me to give my view, if you already do not know it, of the citizen’s role in society.
A citizen is aware of his surroundings. He is active in the world around him. He embodies all of the things that we hope the Minuteman Chronicle is about, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.
What is life? Life is your living existence on this planet. This life is you and your loved ones interacting and relating to one another. You ‘own’ your life. Self- ownership.
What is liberty? Liberty is your freedom. Your ability to think and act for yourself is your freedom.
What is the Pursuit of happiness? In the pursuit we gain knowledge and property. You bought a boat to take the kids fishing is Pursuit of happiness. Therefore, our Property was acquired in the past in the Pursuit of happiness.
You exist in time, Past, Present and Future. If you lose your ‘Life’ you lose your Future. If you lose your ‘Liberty’ you lose your Present. If you lose your ‘Property’ you lose your Past.
Your life, your liberty and your property belong to you. You have the right to protect your belongings from the unwarranted advances of others. No group or individual has the right to take these from you. If they ‘TAKE’ from you then they are guilty of a crime.
Taking your Life is MURDER.
Taking your Liberty is SLAVERY
Taking your Property is STEALING
We live not in a ‘Democracy’ as the media is so fond of trying to sell to the masses, but in a democratic Republic. We have freedom from tyranny written into the very fabric that our laws are written on. Things are being taken from us by a network of misinformation.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb.- Benjamin Franklin
Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government. -James Madison
I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. -James Madison
If total government control equals safety, why are prisons so dangerous?
Let us examine what happened in New Orleans immediately after the storm. The NRA has a website set up www.givethemback.com which they have a DVD for sale about the confiscation of guns from Law-Abiding citizens. I have ordered it as it tells the stories that we will never get to hear otherwise.
If these were criminals, would the Police wave been able to confiscate anything? Police means to clean up doesn’t it? They can’t even find the crack houses if they had neon signs out front.
I watch Dallas SWAT and they are breaking down doors and aggressively taking down these miscreants. Maybe I should just shut up and move to Dallas. Ha Ha Ha.
People have a lot of problems with handguns. I find that hard to believe, because a gun is like a hammer. It is a tool for a specific purpose. The gun is not responsible for good or evil. Cain killed Abel with a rock. Is there rock control legislation?
If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If I have a gun, what do I have to be paranoid about? The police cannot be everywhere all the time. Your safety and protection, the safety and protection of your family are your responsibility. The police will show up later with handy dandy notebooks to write down the historical data. Pray others can arrive in time, or provide for your own defense: Decide.
If you have ever tasted freedom, friend, you know it is purchased not with gold, but steel.

Today's Special
Concealed Carry Saves Another Life:
New Orleans Police said the latest incident of violence in the city was justified after a man shot another man in self defense.
Police said a man and woman were walking down North Rampart Street around 9 p.m. Tuesday night when another man walked up, put a gun to the woman’s back and said “give it up.”
Witnesses said an argument broke out, and that was when the man being robbed pulled out his own gun and shot the alleged robber three times.
Police called the incident justifiable homicide and said the man who shot the robber had a Louisiana concealed handgun permit.
The area the incident took place in, the Faubourg Marigny, has seen a heightened level of crime recently, including a string of bar robberies that plagued the area for weeks.
Police in New Orleans tell us it is a war zone in the city after dark. They have all these parasites running around trying to take advantage of people. The police are first responders to the call for help. Not first responders to the scene. The difference between a Citizen and a Civilian is that a Citizen takes responsibility for his community. He doesn't let parasites over run it and turn things into a free for all. A citizen in Marigny, out for a walk, minding his own business, had to remove a parasite from the gene pool. Thank you good citizen for your support of a moral and upright community. I will let you know once I get more info on this story.

What??
DID YOU VOTE?
OK, so now we need to ask ourselves, Should we start operation Examine the Ignorant Townsfolk? or ExIT for short. I thought maybe we could pull things out of this mire. I thought maybe one person could try to make a difference. Gathering like minded people into a group and spreading the truth all over. Now, I go on tirades and try to inform people but, all I ask is that people examine their world around them. I know many of you do the same, and just ask people to open their eyes to see the truth around them.
After this last election, I do not know if we are capable of stemming the tide of ignorance. ALL of the amendments passed. HOW???!!! Do people not pay attention to how government operates? I mean they just dump more and more of our liberties into the hands of a machine that destroys individuality.
In my short tenure as Captain of the guard I have called up government officials and contacted them through e-Mail and tried to see who will answer me and who feels they are above it all.
For the most part our local State Representatives are good for a call back on a specific issue. But, these are still just your local folks, doing a regular job + holding a state officials office. These, for the most part are the people who think they can make their neighborhoods better through legislation.
City officials cower away from callbacks on issues if they do not know your stand to begin with. These folks are the infancy stage of the State Reps. They haven't matured enough to stand up and take a Citizen asking questions. Most of the time if you do not blindly follow their beliefs, you are too scary to talk to.
Now on to the National level, even the 'Good Ones ' are very busy. They rarely call back or answer their mail. The 'Senior' Senator [at least in LA] has never even acknowledged a contact. I know I heard one time that Ted Kennedy had taken his phone off the hook to avoid calls. The Representatives are better about this, because they are still trying to make a difference. They do get more and more bogged down as time goes on. Take Jindal and Jefferson for example. Jindal is the young hard charger not yet mucked by the system and Jefferson the mired senior who may have cash frozen in his house, literally. But, I think Senators are very much in the machine. They operate in a different world than we do.
Do we cut and run? ExIT the bewildered state? Or do we initiate changes?
IN SPORTS NEWS:
The Saints have sold out the Louisiana Superdome for the season, meaning all 68,354 seats had been sold. This eclipses the previous mark by almost 15,000 and comes one year after some were questioning whether this area could support a professional sports franchise. So, all of the games will be on local television and no individual tickets will be available for any game.
To me, the incredible sales figures show that this community will support a quality product, whether it is a sports team, a school or a restaurant. Now all we need is quality political leadership, but maybe that is asking for a miracle even greater than the Saints winning the Super Bowl.
School Shootings and Violence:
I say arm the teachers. People look at me like I amwheny wwhen I say this sometimes. IÂ’m not saying it is a requirement, but give them the option. I went to public school and had some teachers I have no doubt could use them and did own them. Allow these citizens to conceal carry on the job. It sure would have minimized the effectiveness of the half-wits in Columbine who shot the place up because they were pansies.
Laws don't stop criminals, people do.
On Monday, a 13-year-old student in Joplin, Mo., carried an AK-47 into his middle school and fired a shot into a ceiling. He left the building and was apprehended by police.
This kid was just crying out for attention. He didn't hurt anyone. He wanted to be arrested for some reason. Maybe we need to look at what caused him to cry out.
Compelled to respond to a spike in school violence, the Bush administration is hoping that a high-profile summit will get the word out about safety.
President Bush called for Tuesday's conference after three shooting rampages in two weeks unnerved the nation. Communities in Colorado, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are still grieving.
President Bush's administration attempted to cut $347 million in school-safety grants for states this year. Bush's budget says the program is ineffective. I'm sure this isn't going to accomplish anything. Getting together to talk to the masses about how love and community is what we need, does not stop the idiots who neglect love and community. There ARE bad people, there need to be armed good people.
