Right Wing Socialism
by L. Neil Smith
In the final analysis, there are only two political "philosophies"
in the world, comprised, as Robert Heinlein suggested, of "those who think that people
should be controlled, and those who do not". The latter sort are called "individualists"
and the former are called "collectivists".

Buddy, Can You Spare A Dime?
by MamaLiberty a.k.a. Susan Callaway
Charity has always been a big part of American life, an important part,
so free will giving goes on at impressive levels, even with the economy in such a mess and
so many people either out of work or unable to find a job at their former pay—or anywhere
near it in some cases. Those who are wise, of course, examine carefully those charities they
choose to support and often must make seriously painful choices.

Review: Star Trek Into Darkness
by IL Fettucinni
The great day arrived (5-16-13) for the premiere of Star Trek Into
Darkness, the second of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek sagas of Kirk, Spock and Bones at the
start of their careers in Star Fleet. We went a full hour early for the 2 PM showing at
the Barkley Theater in Bellingham, WA in case there might be a huge line. Alas! We could
have come at the last moment because I counted exactly 33 souls in that matinee performance,
no doubt hardcore Trekkies all.

Gun Owners: Freedom Lovers or Cry Babies?
by Paul Bonneau
Adam Kokesh has come up with a project, an armed march on Washington
D.C., and inevitably the Fudds and other assorted crybabies have come out of the woodwork.
It's enough to make a strong man puke.

Neale's Weekly Gun Rant Volume 10
by Neale Osborn
So now pediatricians are lying to try to get guns banned. Though they
seem to be lying carefully. "Where there are more guns in the United States, there are
more people dying," happens to be a blatant lie, as outlined in the Pew study outlined
in Rant #9. Gun crime down 49%. Non-fatal gun violence down 70%. Firearms free violence down
72%. Gun ownership UP across the nation. 37 states now cannot refuse to issue a concealed
carry license unless you are a felon. 4 states now do not require ANY license to carry concealed.
3500 children drown each year. 500 die by gun. Ban the swimming pools first, pediatricians. THEY
aren't Constitutionally protected.

EDITORIAL MATTERS
NOTE: We are late on account of computer problems and home office
network problems and Internet problems. After an hour on the phone
with 1-800 help me! I said, "Going to bed now, thanks for trying"
and did. This was about 5:00 AM. Slept a good night, got up,
took a long shower, ate a leisurely breakfast, and got to work
on the networking problem. I fixed it by turning everything
off, unplugging everything, plugging it all back in, and
turning it on. And it worked. Fookin' computers! No wonder
us programmers turn old before out time (and forget about
after our time!)! Anyway, later on today I'll try fixing
the desktop, or else use it for shotgun practice, I haven't
decided which. Enjoy!
I was looking at myself in the mirror a day or two ago. And I
happened to turn sideways. Yep, looks like the baby's due next week.
But, I'm not female! That's a POT BELLY! So I get to do the "eat
less, excercise more" thing for a while. And I can't wear
yellow-orange or school children will think I'm a bus and try to
board. Ah well, there is always something.
And this word about Thought Crime:
The most famous biologist in the world, James D. Watson, was forced
to retire from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 2007 because of a
factually accurate remark to a British journalist about low IQ scores
among African blacks. In 2006, Larry Summers, president of Harvard,
had to resign after a series of attacks that began with his
empirically well-informed remarks about gender differences. These
are just the most visible examples of a corruption that has spread
throughout American intellectual discourse: If you take certain
positions, you will be cast into outer darkness. Whether your
statements are empirically accurate is irrelevant.
"In Defense of Jason Richwine;
His resignation is emblematic of a corruption that has spread throughout
American intellectual discourse."
by Charles Murray

To which I will point (again) at something John Locke said:
Love of truth necessary.
He that would seriously set upon the search of truth ought in the
first place to prepare his mind with a love of it. For he that loves
it not will not take much pains to get it; nor be much concerned when
he misses it. There is nobody in the commonwealth of learning who
does not profess himself a lover of truth: and there is not a
rational creature that would not take it amiss to be thought
otherwise of. And yet, for all this, one may truly say, that there
are very few lovers of truth, for truth's sake, even amongst those
who persuade themselves that they are so. How a man may know whether
he be so in earnest, is worth inquiry: and I think there is one
unerring mark of it, viz. The not entertaining any proposition with
greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant.
Whoever goes beyond this measure of assent, it is plain, receives not
the truth in the love of it; loves not truth for truth's sake, but
for some other bye-end.
—John Locke, Essay concerning Human Understanding, Book IV,
Chapter 19 ("Of Enthusiasm")
Say, Gentle Reader, do YOU love Truth for Truth's Sake?
Finally an important message from Our Publisher, L. Neil Smith:
Latest
info on Adam Kokesh
According to the Philly Police at the 9th District
Adam Kokesh
of
AdamVsTheMan
has been moved to a "Federal Detention Center".
Number is 215-686-3007
When Googled I also found:
FDC PHILADELPHIA
FEDERAL DETENTION CENTER
700 ARCH STREET
PHILADELPHIA, PA 19106
Phone: 215-521-4000
Fax: 215-521-7220
E-mail address2: PHL/[email protected]
HOWEVER someone else has also found this address:
FDC
8201 State Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19136
Phone:(215) 685-8580
He was allegedly taken there because they could not get Positive ID
on him.
No one knows what charges he is supposedly facing. Witness say he
was taken captive for standing to close to people smoking cannabis.
The ACLU, who ought to be up to their necks in this are hiding under
the bed, as usual, instead. I don't know Adam Kokesh, but I've long
been an admirer, and I'm going to do whatever I can, no matter how
microscopic it may be, to help him in this time of tyranny.

It appears that Mr. Kokesh has taken a lot of guff from the more
timid people in this "Freedom Movement". Explain that to the guys
at Bunker Hill, eh?
