Contrary to a widely circulated e-mail, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has not signed any UN small arms treaty. She could not have done so, in fact, because no such treaty has yet been negotiated. As we noted in the item below from last November, the UN Arms Trade Treaty will be drafted between now and 2012, and even if signed would not take effect in the U.S. until it was ratified by the Senate.

Obama revives talk of U.N. gun control

Obama revives talk of U.N. gun control.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton first announced on Oct. 14 that the U.S. had changed its stance and would support negotiations of an Arms Trade Treaty to regulate international gun trafficking, a measure the Bush administration and, notably, former Permanent U.S. Representative to the United Nations John Bolton opposed for years. Two weeks ago, in another reversal of policy, the U.S. joined a nearly unanimous 153-1 U.N. vote to adopt a resolution setting out a timetable on the proposed Arms Trade Treaty, including a U.N. conference to produce a final accord in 2012.

Arms-control bureaucrats at the United Nations and dozens of allied NGOs (that's non-governmental organizations in non-bureaucratic lingo) have been busy for two decades talking and negotiating among themselves to produce an international treaty regulating the sale of small arms. A U.N. resolution adopted in October calls upon member nations to negotiate the matter and finish writing a treaty by 2012. The United States voted for the resolution, which was adopted almost unanimously.

California Remembers How CHP Participated in Mass Confiscation of Firearms

Fellow Californians--while Congress enslaves our children with socialist environmental and health programs, remember California Highway Patrol's participation in New Orleans mass gun confiscation - body-slamming an elderly lady to take her revolver, as in this video:

Remember the occupation of churches, troops going door to door with M-16's (not at low ready but POINTED IN), troops ruefully contemplating the need to shoot fellow Americans, etc., as in this video:

NRANews.com recounts the injustice in this video:

A test run for the main event, perhaps to suppress opposition to global governance?  Before 2005, only a "right-wing nutjob" could be worried about mass gun confiscation.  Well, it actually happened and elite institutions have done a pretty good job of keeping you from finding out.

Who among us supports socialism in word and/or deed?  In revolutionary times, Americans came up with a humane (no permanent injury) way of punishing British loyalists - TAR AND FEATHERS.  Short of resorting to violence, how can WE (individually, locally) at least shun these socialists and deny them position and power to enslave our children?

Could my daughter become President?

Ayn was born shortly before Helen became "naturalized" but "natural born" citizenship may follow that of the father:

Defining Natural-Born Citizen - The Federalist Blog.

Therefore, we can say with confidence that a natural-born citizen of the United States means those persons born whose father the United States already has an established jurisdiction over, i.e., born to father’s who are themselves citizens of the United States. A person who had been born under a double allegiance cannot be said to be a natural-born citizen of the United States because such status is not recognized (only in fiction of law). A child born to an American mother and alien father could be said to be a citizen of the United States by some affirmative act of law but never entitled to be a natural-born citizen because through laws of nature the child inherits the condition of their father.

Fr. Sirico on Pope's Caritas in Veritate (Love in Truth)

WSJ: #articleTabs%3Darticle.

This encyclical is a theological version of his predecessor's more philosophical effort to anchor the free economy's ethical foundation. Much of it stands squarely with a long tradition of writings of a certain "classical liberal" tradition, one centered on the moral foundation of economics, from St. Thomas Aquinas and his disciples, Frederic Bastiat in the 19th century, Wilhelm Roepke, and even the secular F.A. Hayek in the 20th century. It also clearly resonates with some European Christian democratic thought.

A round up of commentary on the new encyclical was published yesterday on the Web site of Catholic World Report. CWR asked “a group of leading Catholic intellectuals to reflect on the encyclical, its place in the larger body of Catholic social teaching, and Pope Benedict’s vision of a well-ordered and just society.” Those who contributed included J. Brian Benestad, Francis J. Beckwith, Father Joseph Fessio, S.J., Richard Garnett, Thomas S. Hibbs, Paul Kengor, George Neumayr, Tracey Rowland, Father James V. Schall, and Rev. Robert A. Sirico. Here’s what Rev. Sirico had to say:

'Global warming is baloney' signs put the heat on Burger King | World news | The Guardian.

A row between the fast food giant Burger King and one of its major franchise owners has erupted over roadside signs proclaiming "global warming is baloney".

MIC says it does not believe Burger King has the authority to make it take the signs down.

RealClearPolitics - On Guns and Climate, the Elites Are Out of Touch.

Many years ago, political scientists came up with a theory that elites lead public opinion. And on some issues, they clearly do. But on some issues, they don't. Two examples of the latter phenomenon are conspicuous at a time when Barack Obama enjoys the approval of more than 60 percent of Americans and Democrats have won thumping majorities in two elections in a row. One is global warming. The other is gun control. On both issues, the elites of academe, the media and big business have been solidly on one side for years. But on both, the American public has been moving in the other direction.
