Ninety-Two Year-Old Woman Murdered

A ninety-two year-old woman has been murdered in Atlanta. She lived in a high-crime area and when a gang started trying to break into her home of 17 years, she began shooting at them. She hit 3 of them, but not fatally, before they kicked in the door and murdered her in cold blood. These murderers usually wear badges while they commit their atrocities. This is just business as usual for "our noble drug-warriors". Murdering Americans to keep Americans safe. Is this what we want America to be? It is time to take the power away from the armed murderers of the DEA and local militarized narcotics agencies. The report on CNN Headline News made a big deal about the fact that the murderers were "alert" at the hospital. Who cares? They killed a woman. The "authorities" call the shooting "justified" because she shot at them first. If they had been obeying America's highest laws (the Constitution and the Bill of Rights) in the first place, she would not have needed to shoot at them. I only wish she had been a better shot with a more effective weapon.

Prejudices; Old and New

Back when I erroneously thought of myself as a conservative I held racist views and beliefs. I never really thought about it other than feeling it was required. After all, it is obvious that the races are different, and that means one must be better, right? Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Then there was the conservative requirement to dislike or even hate homosexuals, although some claimed to only hate the homosexuality, but to love the "sinner". It didn't look that way to me. I have seen the destruction of this deviant mindset within my own family.
After waking up to my own "libertarianism" I realized that my only enemies are those who actively try to enslave me or those who sit aside and pretend that all is well while governments the world over try to crush individual liberty. People are not defined by their skin color, their religion, or their sexuality. They are defined by their actions. Behave as a friend and I will treat you as a friend. Not everyone is a friend, however. Those who work to implement the US police state have declared war on me, my friends, and my family. This has led to a new prejudice in me. Anyone who wears the badge of government in any form is assumed to be an enemy until or unless he or she proves otherwise. I suppose it is unfortunate and possibly wrong for me to feel this way, but look who is forcing the fight. I do not ask for this. All I ask for myself and others is freedom from coercion. Government refuses to play nice.
