“Never forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t let him do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.”
—Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith, Hope, 2001”
Hold on to the Constitution; for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world
“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution; for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.”
—Daniel Webster
We’re kind of thinking of it as a tech ‘surge’ – Obama Admin. Did they not understand the Mythical Man Month?
“We’re kind of thinking of it as a tech ‘surge,’” an HHS official told POLITICO.
One wonders if the “geniuses” in charge of HealthCare.gov are experienced in software engineering or software design. They need to read the classic on Software Engineering/Computer Science/Computer Engineering, the Mythical Man Month.
The summary: Fred Brooks, then at IBM, added more programmers to a project falling behind schedule, a decision that he later concluded had, counter-intuitively, delayed the project even further. This concept is nearly 40 years old and is a staple of most good major Computer Engineering/Computer Science programs.
Does the media not care? No, they are just buying the stupidity coming from Washington hook, line, and sinker.

“It’s time for someone to act like a grown-up in this process,” former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu
“It’s time for someone to act like a grown-up in this process,” former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu argues, faulting Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and tea party Republicans in the House as much as President Barack Obama for taking an uncompromising stance.
Sununu is right, someone has to act like a grown-up and take the credit card away from the spoiled teenager before the child runs the debt up so high that the responsible adults can no longer have a chance at paying it back. Someone has to act like an adult and protect freedom from the irresponsible children who want something for “free” at the expense of liberty.
Sununu and others are showing their true colors here. Governor, freedom is something that is worth fighting for.
“Good morning everyone” at 1PM, October 1, 2013 President Obama from the White House
President Obama started out his speech just now with “Good morning everyone” at 1:01 PM Eastern, October 1, 2013 President Obama from the White House.
The rest of the speech was just as accurate.
We are at one of the most dangerous points in our history right now. Every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War. Sen Harkin
It’s dangerous. It’s very dangerous. I believe, Mr. President, we are at one of the most dangerous points in our history right now. Every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War. Sen Harkin (D).
Freedom vs Slavery. Control by the few of the many. Constitutional freedom vs authoritarianism. It does harken back to the Civil War, Sen Harkin. Senator, how does it feel to be on the side of the slave owning authoritarians?

Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles. Ayn Rand
The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

Deputy Jimmy Drummond was caught on dash cam video brutalizing a family.
Drummond followed the son home because the officer claimed he was speeding. As other family members approached the scene, they were all beaten. Sadly police are no longer public servants and the brutal ones are no longer the exception to the rule. The “public serpents” are all about power and money.
