HEARSAY AND RED FLAG LAWS

On Wednesday, Nov. 13, Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Illinois) defended the testimony of “witnesses” during the first day of public impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump arguing that “hearsay can be much better evidence than direct.”

“I think the American public needs to be reminded that countless people have been convicted on hearsay,” he added. “Because the courts have routinely allowed and created needed exceptions to hearsay. Hearsay can be much better evidence than direct as we have learned in painful instances, and it’s certainly valid in this instance.”

He doesn’t, however, say how many innocent people have been erroneously convicted of crimes based solely on hearsay evidence. He did not go into how bias and hatred can cause simple hearsay to be used with damning influence.

The major problem with hearsay evidence, and even direct witness recollection, is mindset and objectivity at the time of observance and when testifying.

Rep. Quigley, with his statement above, illustrates the ability of authoritarian people seeking absolute power to make the absurd sound real to people who hear only what they want to hear. Remember, he is a member of the party that denies life until it can be seen outside the womb. Even then, if the mother and doctor involved choose not to accept it, that non-life might be terminated at will.

This is the group-think mentality under which progressive liberals demand adherence from all. If an activist progressive identifies yellow as a color of objection, then we must all eliminate yellow from our everyday lives or be outcast. If yellow ever adjoined one’s intersectionality (past or present) the only remedies are publicly renouncing and rejecting ever showing appreciation or even accepting the color yellow immediately followed by humiliating one’s self with apology or accepting excommunication from society at large.

So, if hearsay evidence is sufficient to incarcerate someone, then anyone who has flipped off another in heavy traffic becomes subject to gun confiscation (display of anger). Red Flag laws, now on the books and proposed, allow anyone to make a claim against a gun owner. With that claim, firearms and other lethal devices may be removed from the accused persons possession until there is an adjudication by the courts. A simple claim, even if that claim was experienced by another and verbally related to the claimant contacting authorities, is now enough to cause a home invasion and confiscation.

Progressives are taking this country from one of “innocent until proven guilty” to “guilty by accusation and innuendo”. They are making our world less safe by making crimes such as illegal entry, hit and run, theft, child rape, assault, battery, fraud and many other crimes into minor misdemeanors. There is no deterrent penalty to prevent recurrence or escalation to greater crimes. However, verbally defending your position against an angry idiot is enough for the police to confiscate all your legally owned weapons until you can prove that the idiot who lost the disagreement and engaged them is the one who should be jailed…and then the case is dismissed without redress for the false accusation.

People with this mindset are the same people who believe that Marxist/socialists will see to it that there is no charge for health care or higher education (aka their control and influence over your child pre-K – grad), that whoever wants to take advantage of the generosity of Americans is welcome to come from around the world and do so. No job, no skills, no education, no problem…it’s all free. And if you act now, the government will pay you $1,000 every month just for being here.

God, please save us!

ANYBODY WHO BELIEVES IT’S THE STUDENTS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BUY A GUN

There’s a lot of attention recently given to David Hogg and a few other “survivors” of the MSDHS shooting of February 14, 2018. However, the high school students are only pawns of the anti-gun movement. Those who believe the students are in charge are obviously mentally ill. Such a belief indicates that they are incapable of rational thought.

Even those indoctrinated in the Marxist/socialist centers, aka public schools, must recognize there is no way for a small group of students experiencing a traumatic event to organize these marches and media campaigns. The permits alone for the marches cost thousands of dollars. This group of students probably couldn’t afford the cardboard on which the slogans are painted or professionally printed. Few, even with the help of parents, could afford to travel to the protest sites like Washington D.C.

So, who’s funding and organizing the students and “their” protests? It’s the same cabal that funded and directed the last administration. It’s the “resistance”, the George Soros (Gyorgy Schwartz) crowd. It’s the billionaire One World government – Agenda 21 – Agenda 2030 – America hating Communists who are leading the mush-minded school kids and dim-witted adults who refuse to comprehend what they ask for.

If you want to control gun violence, keep guns away from the mentally ill, criminals and those who are easily and ignorantly duped; those who are too stupid to know they are being used. Those are not people who should be followed. Quite the contrary; those are people who should be feared because they are easily propelled by people with evil agendas whose violence is a proven acceptable means to their end.

The “education system” has, over the past few decades, taught our children how to be victims and how to follow. The current youth generation is afraid of themselves and can only take in the worst of society. Only a few have the rare capability to think for themselves or see beyond victim hood. Those who do are considered privileged. Choose what you like: (white privilege, class privilege, male privilege, female privilege, gender privilege, race privilege, etc.) and vehemently rail against it, but certainly don’t take the time or make the effort to better yourself for that will give you a contemptible privilege.

So, why do they want to take away our guns? It’s so that a powerful and well armed centralized government can further dictate your existence. It’s the means to the end. The end is Communism; government ownership of all property with tightly controlled rationing of food and all other necessities to the minions who ignorantly followed billionaires’ leadership to destroy their own world.

We must make sure they cannot aggress or defend themselves with weapons. They are too unstable and dangerous.

 

I’M CONFUSED

Back in the day when I was growing into a young lad, there were things that we considered right/wrong, acceptable/unacceptable, normal/abnormal or odd. We were taught how to behave and we knew what to expect for improper behavior. Proper, back then, meant with respect and dignity.

Maybe that’s why I’m considered to be conservative on most issues. I like meaningful structure in life. Laws are fine as long as they are applied equally. Undue regulations that restrict the rights and property of all because of the actions of a few should be changed or eliminated, but not violated. Military service helped reinforce the definition of right and wrong. I like knowing what outcome to expect when a particular act is performed…or not performed.

About a decade or so ago, I noticed things changing a lot and rapidly. Some of the changes were/are for the better but the greatest portion of the changes are, in my opinion, not. Progressives began muting logic and language. They call it social justice and necessary for equality for all.

Recent studies have proven that one out of three progressives is just as stupid as the other two.

We can no longer identify people by gender because they may choose (there is now a choice list of 70+, and growing, genders) to be something other than what they truly are. We (Caucasians) cannot wear our hair in dreadlocks or cornrows because that is considered cultural appropriation. Rachel Dolezar can however, because she “identifies” herself as an African. Eating tacos and drinking beer on Cinco de Mayo is all but required for young adult Americans to show solidarity and unity with our neighbors to the South. Drinking beer on Saint Patrick’s Day, however, is stereotyping and offensive to Irishmen persons according to the PC police.

Antifa (abbreviation for anti-fascist) members forcefully and sometimes brutally mandate what we can say, where we can say it and what we must do to meet their socialist goals. They do so through antagonistic behavior and destruction of personal belongings and public property. They claim warrant to physically harm their perceived opponents…just like fascists. Fascism is portrayed by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and controlling the speech of others by any means deemed necessary. Antifa fits the description precisely.

In some cases we are coerced to accept the outlying as normal and in other cases it is wrong to do so. We must stay on Facebook and Twitter to stay in tune with the ever-changing program. What is normal, proper and acceptable right now may not be so – right now.

We are told to accept, welcome and respect people who claim to be Asian-American, African-American, Mexican-American. Inclusion here is but a one-way street. The immigrants are welcome to clique together within cities and towns, segregating themselves from others with a vested interest in the districts.

Where is the community, the integration, the loyalty and allegiance if Asian or African or Mexican is first when describing an American? If they were interested in part of the whole, wouldn’t they prefer being referred to as American? Where is any assimilation when, after 5, 10 and 20 years the “newcomers” speak very little or no English and demand interpreters in every government office to accommodate their needs?

Why is it necessary for a gay person to make it known to all that they love persons of their same sex and bigoted or homophobic when a straight person so indicates their sexual preference?

Contradictions abound in our muddled and remolded society today. Black or gay or Latino conservatives are treated with disdain by those on the progressive left. Wait! Wait! Isn’t it the progressive left who claim to protect and fight for the rights of minorities? Are not blacks and gays and Latinos the minorities for whom the left professes to speak and protect?

When women vote for conservatives, they are demeaned by their all-inclusive counterparts as submissive to the viewpoints of the males of their surroundings. Shouldn’t the progressive left, the protectors of women, minorities and the downtrodden, show more respect for the intellect and independent thought of women?

It just came to me. I’m not the one who’s confused!

LET US FOLLOW THE LOGIC OF THE LEFT

Push back is imminent! The logic of the left decrees that if someone chooses not to participate in, or chooses to claim offense in any way, everybody must respect his, her (or any of 55+ other mind-boggling gender pronouns) feelings by ceasing whatever they deem unsuitable. If we follow the logic to its ultimate conclusion, we see that it boomerangs back upon their very own mandated standards.­

Not everybody chooses to participate in Christmas celebrations – therefore end all public Christmas plays and celebrations

Not everybody chooses to participate in Christian prayer – therefore end all Christian prayer outside of churches

Not everybody chooses to participate in Halloween – therefore end all Halloween festivities in schools and public places

Not everybody chooses to participate in Hanukkah celebrations –therefore end all Hanukkah celebrations except in synagogues and temples.

Not everybody chooses to participate in hunting and shooting sports – therefore over tax and over regulate all private handguns, rifles and ammunition…tightly restrict when and where shooting may occur

Not everybody chooses to honor the flag, our national anthem or our men and women in uniform – therefore eliminate all representations of pride and symbolism related to our country

Not everybody enjoys fast food – therefore over tax and over regulate fast food restaurants until banned

Not everybody enjoys sugary drinks – therefore over tax and eliminate all sugary drinks

Not everybody enjoys jungle gyms – therefore ban all jungle gyms in schools and parks so that no child has access to them

Some children (+/- .02%) are injured when playing on teeter-totters– therefore ban all teeter-totters in schools and parks so that no child has the ability to enjoy them

Not everybody who has goldfish feeds their pets on time – therefore ban gold fish to prevent inhumane treatment

Not everybody enjoys pork products – therefore ban all pork products

Not everybody appreciates dogs – therefore ban all dogs

Not every young girl looks like Barbie – therefore ban the sale of all Barbie dolls

Not everyone believes in truthful history – therefore eliminate all visions and vestiges of history from the earliest record to current times…allow only emblems of glorious events and eras

Some people believe all animals should live an unrestricted life and die a natural death – therefore demean every person who wears clothing made from hides and those who eat meat

Some people are offended by differing opinions – therefore take FOX News off the air

 

Thus, using the logic of the left…

Not everybody chooses to participate in Gay marriage – therefore we must end all Gay marriages.

THE POLITICAL CLASS, ACADEMIA AND THE MEDIA vs. “WE THE PEOPLE”

I recognize that those who most need to read this and other like articles are the least likely to do so. It destroys their implanted narrative and thus must be rejected outright without review or consideration.

It doesn’t take a mental giant, or even an semi-intelligent public school graduate, to see there is a movement afoot to destroy the United States. Unfortunately, most of the imbued high school graduates and certainly the products of many four year colleges are so indoctrinated with “free” and “equal” and “diversity” and “acceptance” that critical thinking and reasoned observation is not within their purview. They cannot see or accept economic, social or political reality and cannot recognize what they are conditioned to bring about.

Today’s scholars, professors and teachers are bred on the disciplines of Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx. Marx predicted that the internal class struggle of a capitalist society would produce self destruction resulting ultimately in a socialist society. He professed socialism or an ideal classless society such as communism would result. Alinsky popularized the thinking of Marx and directed the initialization of his philosophy.

Alinsky alleged that the best method to effect change is to first create chaos of the highest order. He became the figurehead of the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and 1970s and is the mentor of the liberal journalists, teachers, professors and politicians (the reporters, guides and governors) of today.

Many of our current and recent generations, seduced by the authority of their “educators”, see only the initial and seductive stages of the socialist and communist doctrines. They have been drilled with the notion that these economic and political creeds result in global and total equality; everyone prospers from the efforts and production of the collective. The poverty and starvation that decades of submission to these philosophies is not admitted in the indoctrination. Only the ultimately infeasible Utopian representation is offered and revered.

From the chaotic state, the masses will accept any change to calm or abate the state of turbulence. That change comes in the form of socialism and ultimately communism. A soothing transition from capitalism and democracy might be termed Democratic Socialism; the first step to authoritarian dominance.

Each leader among the disciples of these philosophies believes he or she is the one to make the transition complete and viable. Every one who has tried has failed and each society transformed has suffered. The chieftains of the attempts often die under unexpected and mysterious circumstances only to be followed by stronger figures. The proles of these regimes toil endlessly for their meager existence while the elite governing class becomes enriched.

*Note the referral to two classes of these “equality for all” socio-political comradeships. This, in itself, illustrates a major contradiction to the professed uniform prosperity.

Without direct and personal incentive to produce and prosper for one’s self and family, there is little reason to work at capacity for others to benefit. Feudalism does not enhance the wealth of society. It drains the wealth from it.

I refer you to the totalitarian reign of the former USSR. For those with less historical background or initiative to do the research, read the current news coming out of Venezuela. Both of these nation states passed through the stage of Marxism, into socialism and into autocracies whereby the masses became starving chattel of the dictators.

Capitalism and democracy may not be the best forms of economy, government and civilization for it, too, is flawed. However, it has proven to be among the best for the greatest majority within. We, the U.S., are now at a negative point of transition away from personal responsibility and reward to that of dominance and submissiveness. With each new entitlement easing the need for self reliance, we move closer and closer to the proven failures of totalitarianism.

The United States is now in a hybrid state whereby public welfare is surpassed by government give-away programs. Charitably helping the infirm and incapable through public support is beneficial to a social and civilized community. However, making the lazy and sedentary comfortable and dependent with luxuries such as internet service, cell phones, monthly stipends, housing allowances and other benefits robs them of pride and incentive and allows the government to lord over them. The passive recipients democratically vote for more of the same not realizing they are electively contributing to their own servitude and that of their descendants.

The anarchists we see in the streets today are only ignorant players, for the most part. They falsely believe they are contributing to constructive societal change. Some are paid to organize and engage in protests and riots as suggested by Alinsky; to create chaos. The rest are dupes acting ignorantly, or on partial information regarding the projected outcome of their participation. Most are oblivious to the historical mistakes of multiple attempts to alter the social order. They are unaware of their contribution to totalitarianism.
