Life Imitates Hollywood
Many of you may remember the 2002 Stephen Spielberg scifi production of Minority Report, portraying a future society in which the government assured its citizens that certain individuals were “about to commit” crimes and therefore justified “preventive” arrests and prosecutions.
Those of us who viewed the film experienced relief that “our” form of government would never engage in such outrageous practices. Think again gentle reader.
In the southern Oregon community of Medford, a furloughed Oregon Dept. of Transportation employee has been taken into “protective custody” for legally purchasing 3 firearms over a period of two days.
In two days, the man bought a Heckler & Koch .45-caliber universal self-loading handgun, a Walther .380-caliber handgun and an AK-47 assault rifle, Medford police Lt. Bob Hansen said. All of those firearms were purchased legally, with required record checks by the Oregon State Police.
Please note that the state mouthpiece media is dully identifying all of these semiautomatic firearms by their politically correct Pelosi/Feinstein nomenclature.
The identity of the person detained in this swat team operation has not been released. He is being held for a 72 hr. “psychiatric evaluation”. At the end of the 72 hrs. a psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker may have him detained for an additional 90 days. The record of this detention will preclude him from “owning any firearm for the remainder of his life”. So much for the protections of the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution.
If any of you yet entertain the fiction that we live under a government who respects the liberties earned during the unpleasantness of 1775-1783, I suggest you reconsider subscribing to such nonsense and proceed accordingly.

This is very disturbing, but not surprising. It is so easy now to believe the worst about any governmental action; we’ve all been burned too often by the continuous lies at all levels of gov’t.
Oh, BTW- the links don’t work, here or at Fighting—
Thanks for your great contributions to this great blog!

“Come and take them” (or, “Bring it on” or “From my cold dead hands”) indeed. Perhaps the spirit of Leonidas isn’t quite dead yet. Perhaps.

Posted by ΛΕΟΝΙΔΑΣ on 03/11/2010 at 09:51 AM“He was a romantically overwrought petty bourgeois who, under the conditions of a dictatorship, was granted the power to bloodily live out his inclinations. Such a man would only have had his chance in a society which was itself utterly deranged.”

I’ll tell you who said that, and of whom, in a minute, but here’s the point I’ve been hammering over and over:This is how it starts, and it just gets worse and worse as all the petty second-raters start flexing their muscles in an atmosphere of madness emanating from the top, which can only happen when society itself has lost the plot.
Right now, a deranged America has an alien President who does not love “his” country, and whose second-stringers (Eric Holder, Rahm Emmanuel, Nancy Pelosi et al) are beginning to run riot. The only thing that “trickles down” is Attitude. Eventually it filters down to absurdities such as that described here.

And the description above? The great German journalist Joachim Fest, on Himmler (you can be forgiven for thinking it might well have been Obama).Posted by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on 03/11/2010 at 05:19 PM
