Starbucks' HomoNazi Marriage Holocaust is a Holocaust of the Family

Starbucks' recent announcement (story here) that its support for legalizing same-sex marriage is "core to who we are and what we value as a company" has sent shockwaves through Christian America (coffee-drinking, tea partying, or just plain angry at globalist norm changing aimed at the families keeping America free).

Starbucks' brand of homonazi fascism on the subject of marriage is disturbing given what is known about the prevalence of homosexuality among the Nazis in Hitler's Germany (story here).  (Sometimes I wonder about the folks at calgun.nuts, up in the Bay Area!)

Keep gulping down this corporate fascism, and you will end up with no food for your family, let alone coffee.

Are you familiar with the Ukrainian Holodomor, the artificial Soviet famine killing about ten million Ukrainian nationalists?  You may not know about it because the schools ignore it.

Dare call it the "Ukrainian Holocaust" and a commie lib will scream at you for cheapening the term "Holocaust" - and they are right in a sense: the killing is not quite as direct.  But it's still an intentional act resulting in a killing (or two).

Ditto the "Abortion Holocaust" which kills millions of children in this country.  (Again, you are technically correct if you say the term "Holocaust" is cheapened because yes, the killing is less direct.)

Now we have the "Marriage Holocaust" perpetrated by Starbucks, which appears to be part of the globalist attempt to change norms of behavior in America, norms which keep America free with families strong enough to resist the growth of government, families strong enough to feed themselves and defend themselves.

[Families are why the Soviet Union fell.  Because of my wife's family, growing up in Ukraine, she recognized the mandatory recycling programs and the like (e.g., bringing newspapers every week to her school, School No. 40) were all about control and propaganda, and her father was able to stand up to the local union.]

You say I'm cheapening the term "Holocaust"? 

Everyone (even the homosexual) has a right to marry someone of the opposite sex.  The institution of marriage as defined for eons is essential to a free society and more particularly, is a benefit to women and children.

Lives depend on it.  Freedom depends on it.  Change the definition of marriage and you CHEAPEN it.  Instead of an institution focused on procreation (or adoption if necessary) and family building and the future, it becomes just one more hedonistic heresy of the here and now.

Starbucks, quit cheapening the term "marriage" and reverse this insane policy!

 

California Governor Signs Handgun Open Carry Ban, Now Long Guns Considered

Gov. Brown just announced here that he has signed AB 144, the ban on the open carry of unloaded handguns, despite his earlier statements admitting there is no need for such legislation.

The movement to protect Second Amendment rights in California now appears to be looking at the open carry of long guns as a means of expression.

Open carry is ultrasound for the Second Amendment.  Concealed carry is concealed speech.

More Than Half of Declaration Signers Were Lawyers. What we Need is Less Big Law and Litigiousness.

A little known fact is that more than half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were lawyers.  Our problem these days is not that we have too many lawyers.  A free society needs lawyers because this is earth, not heaven.  Present-day Japan, for example, has few guns and few lawyers, but is not a very free society.  Beware of those who would use force or restraint to create heaven on earth (Joe Stalin: "Let's kill all the lawyers").

The main problem we have these days is too much litigiousness--for example, too many Christians suing other Christians.  This problem is perpetuated by Big Law pushing special-interest legislation and using their influence within mandatory state bars to stifle the efforts of smaller law firms (for example, trust attorney) to provide more efficient planning services, minimizing the need for such litigation.

Saying we have "too many lawyers" is like saying we have "too many guns" - you are the weapon, your lawyer is just a tool.  Use your lawyer for defense only, and only to the extent necessary, not to ruin.  He who lives by the law, will die by the law.

No lawsuit is filed without a plaintiff, and as for costly and tumultuous probate court, the heirs of those who plan need not pay for the errors of those who don't.

AB1810 Long Gun Registration Heads to Floor

NRA-ILA :: Two Anti-Gun Bills Pass Committee, Head to Floor in California.

AB1810 would establish a registration system, similar to the one currently in place for handguns, for all newly-acquired long guns. Under AB1810, the make, model and serial number of the firearm as well as the identifying information of the purchaser would be recorded and kept on file by the California Attorney General’s office.

5th state exempts guns. Is Washington noticing?.

South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds has signed into law his state's version of a Firearms Freedom Act that first was launched in Montana. It already is law there, in Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming, which took the unusual step of specifying criminal penalties – including both fines and jail time – for federal agents attempting to enforce a federal law on a "personal firearm" in the Cowboy State.

WND: State exempts guns from federal regs.

The state of Montana has drawn a line in the sand, challenging the federal government to decide whether to follow the U.S. Constitution with a new gun law that exempts from federal regulations any gun, gun accessory or ammunition made in the state and intended for use there.

Utah OK's Loaded Weapons in Cars (Without Permit)

Deseret News | Utahns oppose new gun laws, poll shows.

Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. sided with the Legislature Monday, signing both new statutes into law. The two bills, HB357 and SB78, make changes to current gun laws to allow loaded firearms to be carried in vehicles without the necessity of a concealed weapons permit, and require businesses to allow loaded firearms in vehicles parked on their property, or, in lieu of that, provide for secure storage of firearms.

NRA-ILA :: Major Victory for American Workers' Right to Self-Defense

NRA-ILA :: Major Victory for American Workers' Right to Self-Defense.

Today, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously in support of allowing employees to store legally owned firearms in locked, private motor vehicles while parked in employer parking lots. This decision upholds NRA-backed legislation passed in 2004. “This is a victory for the millions of American workers who have been denied the right to protect themselves while commuting between their homes and their workplace,” said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. “This effort was aimed at skirting the will of the American people, and the intent of legislatures across this country while eviscerating Right-to-Carry laws. This ruling is a slap at the corporate elitists who have no regard for the constitutional rights of law abiding American workers.”

Senate and House Agree on NICS Improvement Act

Link: NRA-ILA :: In The News.

After months of careful negotiation, pro-gun legislation was passed through Congress today. The National Rifle Association (NRA) worked closely with Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to address his concerns regarding H.R. 2640, the National Instant Check System (NICS) Improvement Act. These changes make a good bill even better. The end product is a win for American gun owners. Late yesterday, anti-gun Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), failed to delay progress of this pro-gun measure. The Violence Policy Center, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and other gun control and gun ban groups are opposed to the passage of this legislation because of the many pro-gun improvements contained within. The NICS Improvement Act does the following to benefit gun owners:

NRA Effort Not Feudal in Spreading Castle Doctrine

Link: SunHerald.com : Castle doctrine lauded by gun advocates.

The "castle doctrine" law removes the requirement that residents must first seek a safe retreat from an intruder before using deadly force. Similar laws have passed in 20 states in just two years, thanks to an intense lobbying effort by the National Rifle Association.

LaPierre re guns locked in parked cars: What's This Judge Thinking?

Wayne LaPierre responds to Oklahoma judge's strained interpretation of workplace safety rules. Link: What's This Judge Thinking?.

You want to talk about a case of judicial activism? A judge in Tulsa, Oklahoma, recently ruled that a state law that allows employees to keep their legally owned guns locked in their car while they're at work violates federal law. But to reach that strained conclusion, the judge had to engage in some pretty bizarre legal readings. He relied on the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which requires employers to minimize workplace risks. I don't know about you, but thinking that a legal gun owner is automatically a "workplace risk" because she wants to be able to drive to and from work safely is just crazy. If a parking lot is considered part of the workplace, and OHSA dictates that employers minimize workplace risks, then shouldn't these employers be required to ban cars from their parking lots? After all, in 2004 there were 42,000 people killed in car crashes in this country. How on earth could these employers let these vehicles onto their property without any regard for the safety of their workers? Now I'll admit, that's a pretty weak argument. But not nearly as weak as the judge's ruling. Here's hoping the state of Oklahoma will appeal this decision.

Constitutional Impact Statement: Remedy for Congressional Constitutional Contempt

Officials, high and low, routinely swear allegiance to a constitution they don't really understand.  This might help them come up to speed.

Link: Congressional constitutional contempt - - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper.

In each new Congress since 1995, Rep. John Shadegg, Arizona Republican, has introduced the proposed Enumerated Powers Act (HR 1359). The bill, yet to be enacted into law, reads: "Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. The failure to comply with this section shall give rise to a point of order in either House of Congress. The availability of this point of order does not affect any other available relief."

Under this possible ordinance, it is likely that purchasers will be forced to present identification and submit to fingerprinting simply to purchase a box of ammunition to hunt or go to the range.

Law would make Minutemen guilty of 'domestic terrorism'

Link: WorldNetDaily: Law would make Minutemen guilty of 'domestic terrorism'.

A. An individual or group of individuals commits domestic terrorism if the individual or group of individuals are not affiliated with a local, state or federal law enforcement entity and associate with another individual or group of individuals as an organization, group, corporation or company for the purpose of patrolling to detect alleged illegal activity or to individually patrol for the purpose of detecting alleged illegal activity and if the individual or group of individuals is armed with a firearm or other weapon.

You mean, like this?  The groups I participated in were well armed (especially during the July '05 incident) but there was a third group (Friends of the Border Patrol) I did not participate with because that group's rules limited carry to LEO's only.  Predictably, that group ended up being assaulted by a mob, resulting in injuries and theft of membership lists, etc.  The border is a dangerous place.  (And as jimmyb of Conservative UAW Guy reminds us: free speech isn't free.)

Small arms such as a single-shot deringer, a semi-automatic pistol, .22 revolver, a bolt action rifle, a modern military type rifle, heck, couldn't even a simple knife be considered a potential check on government, or at least on those who govern? Looking at history it would appear to me that small arms are quite capable of being a “check” on those who govern.
