So now the postal service is going to capture and sell your information?
Back in the 1870’s, stage coach robbers used to get super stiff 20+ year sentences if they opened up the US mail sacks during a stage coach robbery. So most of the time they left the mail sacks alone during the robberies.
But I guess the postal service is not subject to the law like the rest of us…
According to this article, adult takers outnumber makers almost 2-1.
And we wonder how the Democrats manage to stay in power…
It is very simple:
If you believe, as our founders did, in the supremacy of the individual, YOU are a TERRORIST.
If however you bow to the supremacy of the state, you are a PATRIOT.
You have to give the progressives a lot of credit for having subtly but completely reversed the definition of terms enroute to a wholesale takeover of the country and utter subjugation of the entire population.
Here is the article:
For the first time in my life I actually felt sorry for Michael Bloomberg when I read this article.
This is the man who wants to disarm everyone in America but travels with a large armed security detail for himself.
This is the man who knows better than everyone else and feels that he should be making the decisions for you about how large your soda cup should be.
I suppose, then, that it stands to reason that his high self-opinion and self-deception would carry over into spiritual matters…

May God open his eyes and grant him repentance unto life.
I thought this was a funny article on so many levels. Enjoy!
I was mildly incensed by this Wall Street Journal editorial that appeared in this morning’s paper. Here is a member of British parliament trying to school us Americans on how we should feel about Edward Snowden:
I sent the following letter in response:
Always nice to hear from the British, but they didn’t understand Americans then and they don’t now. We value our freedom and privacy above the “security” that the NSA claims to provide. And yes, the NSA’s unwarranted search, seizure and storage of our emails and phone records is in fact illegal according to the
fourth amendment of the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. The question of whether Edward Snowden is a hero or a traitor hinges on your
perspective: whether you are a private citizen disabused of your constitutional
rights by an overreaching, secretive and unaccountable government; or whether
you are a representative of that same government, using the NSA to help you
cling to power over the very citizens you are supposed to serve.
Since it is Friday, I’m trying to keep on the sunny side of life. Never mind the sad state of affairs we find ourselves in when the police are so emboldened as to pull this guy over in the first place…
But it is so nice when overreaching authoritarians get put in their place. They too quickly forget that they serve us. Instead they feed off of us and collect vast revenues by systematically “shooting fish in a barrel”. Then they want us to pay more tax dollars to hire more policemen to do ACTUAL police work.

Just received my Jury Duty summons. If I were on trial, I would definitely want a good, intelligent group of my peers (i.e. other middle-aged parents and business owners, etc.) making the final call as to my guilt or innocence.
This fact makes me want to serve as a juror.
At the same time, I bristle at the “summons”, which is on their schedule, not mine, and I bristle at the fact that my business is going to lose a ton of money while I am detained and unable to run it.
If they’re only gonna pay minimum wage (40 bucks a day or whatever) for jurors, then they should only be entitled to minimum-wage level talent.
I found this article that was interesting about this subject:

What do you all think?
To me, a disarmed soldier is the ultimate oxymoron. Apparently soldiers on military bases in our country were disarmed by Bill Clinton’s administration in 1993. All part of his famous “first 100 days” that caused Americans to wake up and sweep Democrats out of congress, thus forcing slick Willie to “play nice” during the balance of his tenure. How dumb is it that our own soldiers are SITTING DUCKS in our own military bases?
I enjoyed this opinion piece from today’s Wall Street Journal
