I finally 'get' Obama : He does not accept human nature !

While touting the stimulus bill as a success in keeping 25 police recruits in Columbus, Ohio:

Calling the latest job losses astounding, President Barack Obama said Friday he will not accept a future marked by a recurring cycle of Americans forced out of work due to economic woes


In other words, economic cycles.
In other words, business cycles involving rising and falling values, either as commodities or services.
In other words the human desire to raise prices (or your wages) to make more money, and drop them to keep business in a downturn to survive.

"The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property
and in their management." --Thomas Jefferson
One of the prices of capitalism and property, is the sine wave of cycles.

There is only ONE WAY to overcome human nature.
SOME KIND of force. Ultimately just one kind. Ultimately.
And that sports fans IS the reason the 2nd Amendment exists.

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. "

PS on stimulus success:

The recruit class was laid off in January before they could even start walking the beat. Mayor Michael Coleman, a Democrat, blamed city budget problems.

But last week Coleman announced that the Justice Department had told the city it would get $1.25 million in stimulus funds to cover the officers' salaries through Dec. 31.

Breann Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for Rep. Pat Tiberi, one of eight Ohio Republicans who voted against the stimulus, noted that the money that saved the recruits' job will run out next year. Coleman hasn't said how he'll pay the officers' salaries after that.

Gonzalez said Tiberi "is thrilled" that these officers were hired, but that the question of how to pay for them will confront the city again come January.

In other words the city of Columbus is TOTALLY dependent on the federal govt rather than ADAPTING to the needs of falling tax revenues, because business and personal incomes are falling. An absolute Rx for failure.

Epa you bring tears of joy to my eyes sniff sob the 2nd amendment sob honk the true genius of it honk sob blubber it will only be needed when it's existance is threatened.

John Adams:

Here every private person is authorized to arm himself, and on the strength of this authority, I do not deny the inhabitants had a right to arm themselves at that time, for their defense, not for offence.
As defense attorney for the British soldiers on trial for the Boston Massacre. Reported in L. Kinvin Wroth and Hiller B. Zobel, ed., Legal Papers of John Adams (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1965), 3:248.

To see that the people be continually trained up in the exercise of arms, and the militia lodged only in the people's hands.
Marchamont Nedhams, reported in Adams', 'A Defense of the Constitutions of the Government of the United States of America 3:471 (1788); Adams wrote there that "[T]he rule in general is excellent".

George Mason (oh this is good for our times):

[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually. . . .
At Virginia's U.S. Constitution ratification convention (June 14, 1788), reported in Elliot, Debates of the Several State Conventions 3:380.

Like this by Noah Webster:

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.

GUN UP! GUN UP! GUN UP! The Redcoats really ARE coming
