Tolerant and Inclusive: Man Pretending to Be A Woman Talks Liberty and Rights, But Threatens Lawsuits If You Disagree With Him

UPDATE [11.25.20]:

Yes, indeed, Gina Roberts threatens Republican Women Federated Groups if they do not toe the lie and accept his delusion:


ORIGINAL POST:

Gina Roberts bullies women who do not agree with his delusion.

He got into an extended discussion on Facebook some time ago, in which he went out of his way--yes, HIS--to justify his decision to pretend to be a woman and make everyone else go along with the fraud.

Just to recap, here he celebrates getting elected President of the Escondido Republican Women Federated:


When I questioned him about this, here are the responses that I received from him:



A man pushes this lie that he is a woman.

He then claims that this is "pro-rights" and "pro-liberty". Really.

Of course, I had more words to respond to that:



Notice that in order to enforce his "right" to use a women's restroom, he has "3 or 4 organizations to file and fight the lawsuit for me."

So, this man pretending to be a woman, who claims that he is pro-rights and pro-liberty, is all about using the force of government and legal bullying to get his way and make everyone expect the lie that he is a she.

Really.

Oh, and it gets better--or worse:


Earlier in the above thread, Gina played the "Christianity" and "Jesus" card, as though to make me feel bad for speaking the truth and calling out Gina's behavior. That did not work. I cited Jesus' own words during His earthly ministry, in which he outlined clearly and completely that God made them "male and female." God did a good job, and there is no reason for anyone person to push back on this:

"Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?" (Isaiah 45:9)

Gina tried every effort to shame me and threaten with lawsuits, but I am not intimidated by this.

Of course, this is not the first time that MR. Gina Roberts has brought up lawsuits and legal action:


For the longest time, people have rebuffed concerns from people such as myself about this LGBT agenda. They would tell me "Arthur, just live and let live. This has nothing to do with you. What do you care what two consenting adults do in private, or whether a man wants to pretend that he is a she?"

This is the reason why. The above examples are reasons why. This nonsense, this fraud is corrupting our culture, and teaching people to embrace lies and endorse delusions. This hurts children. This makes public spaces unsafe and insecure. This promotes laws and undermines the fundamental fabric of trust and truth which is essential for men and women to dwell safely and live freely.

This LGBT agenda is a political force that demands and demands, all while claiming to be tolerant and inclusive. This is not tolerance. This is tyranny, and it must be rebuffed and rejected full-bore and outright.

Contact the Escondido Republican Women Federated, the California Republican Women Federated, and the National Federation of Republican Women, and DEMAND that the Escondido chapter remove the man pretending to be a woman, or demand that leadership strip the charter away from the federated group entirely.

Where Friedman Made a Mistake in Regards to Free Markets

Milton Friedman was a brillant economist, well-read and informed academic.



He brought forth a number of incredible, essential arguments to defend free enterprise and domestic economic liberty for businesses large and small. Don't get me wrong--I am all for free enterprise. Domestic economic freedom is an absolute must in any country, so that individuals can enjoy the highest standard of living possible.

BUT ... there is a place for government intervention in a number of issues.

1. Tariffs play an important role in securing the national security and interest of a country.

2. Illegal immigration and mass immigration are a bane for any country. No group of people, no mass movement of people should be permitted to overrun a country and complete change the contour and constitutional character of the nation.

This video exposes what the problem became for Milton Friedman's free market views--and Friedman himself admitted to the failure of one of his many tenets.

Check out this video from Reason Magazine here.

Friedman was convinced that the people of Hong Kong, China, elsewhere would rise up and oppose the taxpayer-funded subsidies for national businesses.

However, that never happened. Authoritarian regimes do not listen to the people whom they are supposed to care for. They do what they want. subsidize whatever businesses and interests they please. The pro-tariff arguments are stronger in these cases. Granted, tariffs can amount to a tax, but that only occurs if individuals purchase the goods from the other countries.

If authoritarian countries are subsidizing their goods and dumping them into other nations to undercut their industries, tariffs have to be imposed.

Friedman's argument in "Free to Choose" was not satisfactory for dealing with this problem. If a country lowers its tariffs in the face of countries with cheaper goods based on nationalized policies of currency manipulation and subsidies, the businesses in our country will fail and falter.

This problem occurs in Sub-Saharan countries, as well, in which Western nations offer a bunch of goods as "charity." For example, many countries will send in a bunch of free shoes to help an impoverished area. What happens, though? The local merchants go out of business, because they cannot compete with free."

Hence, the need for tariffs. The same idea is pervasive around the world. The United States was right to enact key tariffs to protect local industries against predatory policies from other countries. Open borders and open international markets can become problematic when these concerns are not taken into account.

Breaking: Ventura Candidate Sues to Restore Citizen Right to Run for County Office


Press Release Jan 10th, 2018

Court battle to restore citizens right to run for the public office of elected County Sheriff.
The County of Ventura, at the expense of the taxpayers, has filed it’s reply to our brief, and we have filed our response. The case is now fully briefed.

The County, chose to not even attempt to rebut our argument that the CA Legislature has no authority to impose a ‘ballot requirement” over what is specified in our CA Constitution. The CA Constitution is quite clear in Article 1 Section 7(b) A citizen or class of citizens may not be granted privileges or immunities not granted on the same terms to all citizens.” The CA Constitution calls for the ‘election of county sheriffs’. There are no ‘qualifications’ as to who may run as all adult citizens have the right to run for all public offices.

The County failed to even attempt to rebut our citing of three different cases that confirm that it is the right of the citizens to run for public office.

The County refused to even attempt to rebut our citing of Baca v. Los Angeles that confirmed that not even a  ballot initiative can impose a requirement on the elected office of County Sheriff.  

 The County refused to attempt to rebut our citing of the Colorado case that an elected Sheriff may not be ‘required” to be ‘certified” in way other than to be elected to be the County Sheriff and receive the compensation for that office.



 The County tries to argue that a case filed by a presumptive write-in candidate, who acted as his own attorney, who argued a vague right to have his votes be counted as a ’free speech issue”. The County’s only argument , that they make over and over… is that the County Clerk, Mark Lunn, has a legal responsibility to carry out the law. We do not disagree, we only argue that the ‘law” is unconstitutional.  We now wait on a trial date: Without wanting to seem overconfident, we are however extremely confident that we will prevail. No doubt the County will appeal to the State Supreme Court. We will prevail, the County just wishes to continue to deny the citizens their right to run fro ALL public offices and vote for the candidates of THEIR choice. The County BofS seems most willing to spend ALL of our tax dollars to pursue this.

 We expect that this ruling , s the law was Statewide, will result in the Court finding that ALL County Sheriff elections results as invalid. Expect 58 statewide County Sheriff elections with public citizens on the ballot!

 For more details refer to previous press releases, of contact me.

In Liberty,

Insanity: Two "Transgender Men" Allow Child to Choose Gender

This is insanity on a level I have never seen before.

Transgenderism is not only a mental disorder, but it is child abuse, in that adults are not taking charge to do what is best for children, but instead are not providing neither guidance, nor wisdom, nor answers to do what is best for the child.

This is just sickening, and I am at a loss for words:

So we have two women who are pretending to be men.

These men somehow have custody of a 2-yr old child. They are pretending to be male, but are actually female, I guess ...

And they want their daughter (I think she's a she, or what?!) to choose whether to be a male or a female ...

This is horrific idiocy. When will this insanity stop?!

LGBT Non-Discrimination Has Created Discrimination Against Natural Law and Decency

From MassResistance:

What Has Sexual-Orientation Non-Discrimination Wrought?

Three upscale hotels in downtown Cleveland host depraved BDSM event.

By Amy Contrada
May 18, 2018
CAUTION: Graphic content.
In the last decade, there’s been an explosion of “gay” BDSM (homosexual sadomasochist) events hosted by upscale big-city hotels.  Truly, it’s out of control
During this last weekend in April, a depraved orgy dubbed CLAW (Cleveland Leather Awareness Weekend) is taking over three downtown Cleveland hotels: the Westin, Hampton Inn, and DoubleTree. 
Based on the workshop descriptions and items available for rental, many of the conference rooms, hallways, and private rooms may be spattered with blood, ejaculate, feces, and urine.
The CLAW organizer admits that the weekend is just one big orgy. Here’s his description:
The draw is it's a bunch of masculine men in leather and gear, cruising for sex … we have a huge vendor mart, about 35 workshops and discussion groups on various things like BDSM skills, community and peer groups…  we do a big showcase, a runway kind of thing on Friday night featuring the vendors and just some hot young guys…  It's a live auction, right in the center of the lobby on Saturday night, of these three young men who have each had their cock cast in silicone — medical grade silicone, by one of our sponsors SquarePeg Toys [which sells anal fisting dildos].  And so it's an auction with these nice looking guys and you actually get to take their cock home with you.
A “gay” website describes a similar BDSM event, “International Mr. Leather,” held at the Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago in 2015:  
The entire hotel is converted into a pleasure dome, with all sorts of kinky happenings, over the course of the weekend.  The lobby becomes a buzzing, high-end leather bar, with the mild scent of rubber and rawhide lingering in the air. The ballrooms turn into dance parties, and the hallways are converted into cruising grounds.  The whole building transforms into something resembling a bathhouse (but with nicer carpets and lighting)…  A room at the hotel costs much more than the typical bathhouse, but that was the biggest difference between the two.
“Gay” bathhouses are infamously linked to the spread of AIDS and other diseases, but about 70 continue to operate in many cities in the U.S. Now, some upscale hotels are (at least temporarily) turning into bathhouses. Where are the CDC and local health departments when we need them?
BDSM-affirming research admits that BDSM participants have a high rate of mental disorders (25% have attempted suicide; about 40% suffer from anxiety and depression), twice the incidence of Hepatitis C, and ten times the incidence of HIV/AIDS as the general population.
In other words, major corporations are knowingly allowing their hotels to become public health hazards – both for the event participants, and the innocent guests who follow. These hotels will never be clean again. Traveler beware!
How have we arrived at this low point?
Ever since homosexuality was declassified as a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association (in 1973) – for political, not scientific, reasons – open depravity has been growing like a malignant tumor.
Then came state and local laws, plus corporate policies, demanding “non-discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation” – a term undefined in the law. Applied to public accommodations (such as hotels), these laws result in the defilement of public places affecting all of us.
While sexual orientation is referenced in laws, it’s intentionally left undefined. Sometimes, a specific perversion not to be protected (such as pedophilia) will be singled out in a statute, but what exactly sexual orientation does include is not spelled out.
Ryan Anderson at the Heritage Foundation notes:
SOGI [sexual orientation/gender identity] laws could … have serious unintended consequences.  These laws tend to be vague and overly broad, lacking clear definitions of what discrimination on the basis of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” mean and what conduct can and cannot be penalized.  These laws would impose ruinous liability on innocent citizens for alleged “discrimination” based on subjective and unverifiable identities, not on objective traits…  Under SOGI laws, acting on … [religious or moral] beliefs in a commercial or educational context could be actionable discrimination.
The Supreme Court recently gave the BDSM community a huge green light in the 2013 ruling, Lawrence v. Texas. Sodomy and related perversions conducted in private were no longer to be considered criminal (though still not declared a “fundamental right”).
Justice Scalia noted that ruling was “a massive disruption of the current social order.”  Homosexual sodomy (and its variations) is not a fundamental right because it is not “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition.”  Scalia declared, “there is no right to ‘liberty’ under the Due Process Clause.”
Yet in the current legal environment, SOGI anti-discrimination laws are used to protect sodomy in all settings, not just private homes.
But where is the legal definition (or ruling) requiring these filthy sadomasochistic practices be protected under the umbrella of sexual orientation?
The pro-LGBT Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law quotes as authoritative the definition of sexual orientation from the Yogyakarta international law conference (2006):
Sexual orientation is understood to refer to each person’s capacity for profound emotional, affectional and sexual attraction to, and intimate and sexual relations with, individuals of a different gender or the same gender or more than one gender.
How can that cuddly description possibly include the abusive practices that go on at a BDSM event: fisting, scat (feces play), rimming (anus licking), felching (sucking ejaculate & feces from the partner’s anus), electric shock play, watersports (urine play), puppy play, master/slave, erotic asphyxiation, “authentic crucifixion,” the Rack, whips, lashes, chains, ropes, mummification, saline injections in the genitals, metal rods in the urethra, sex toys (including fist-shaped dildos), live demonstrations, XX-rated video and costume sales, nude parties, etc.
You can see CLAW’s workshops here.  Brace yourself. Some workshops will take place in the hotels, some in nearby “gay” bars and “dungeons.”  And the attendees will practice their skills in their private hotel rooms. You can be sure that the follow-up cleaning will not adequately sterilize these public accommodation spaces. Yet local health authorities are hands-off.
Too many have been duped to believe banning such events would be discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. And the sexual radicals are using the vagueness in the law for all it’s worth. So, we see unbelievably degraded “workshops” taking place in upscale hotels all over the country.
Who will challenge CLAW given that it is an IRS 501(c)3 approved group?  CLAW describes itself as a “national leather charity.”  As of 2018, it had donated $800,000 to radical LGBTQ groups, including those focused on youth (GLSEN, PFLAG, and various LGBT youth centers). Other recipients of CLAW funds are the Chicago Leather Archives & Museum, pride organizations, National LGBTQ Task Force, National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, Woodhull Foundation, various “LGBT rights” advocacy groups, Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, HIV-AIDS groups, leather groups, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, etc.

Online advertisement for the CLAW event. Note actual bloody lashing.
The fact that CLAW funds youth groups, GLSEN, and PFLAG shows that these people are grooming our youth. This is not hyperbole.  In May 2009, the Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ Youth (an official government agency) held its annual “Youth Pride” parade and fair. Ending the day was a queer prom at Boston City Hall where teens were greeted as they entered by “Mr. Boston Leather” handing out his “business” card (with information leading them to leather groups).  Too many young men especially are being seduced by social acceptance of this depravity.
The corporations allowing these events – MarriottHilton, and other hotel chains – ought to be ashamed.  They are allowing their properties to be polluted while keeping this fact from the public.
The slippery slope is real. It is time to overturn SOGI non-discrimination laws.

MassResistance: Baker Gets Burned, Pro-Family Scott Lively Forces Primary

In a win for the pro-family movement in uber-liberal Marx-achusetts, MassResistance members and speaker Scott Lively wow-ed the Mass GOP crowd during their convention and forced incumbent RINO Governor Charlie Baker into a primary.

This is YUGE.

Keep in mind, everyone, that you are talking to a life-long Republican who wants Republicans to win. But there is no value in having a Republican in office when they sell out the principles on which they ran for office. Even worse, when an incumbent undermines the foundational principles of our Judeo-Christian culture, he hurts everyone.

I really admire that MassResistance is fighting the culture wars and doesn't spare their outrage for either party. Elected officials must work for the best interests of the people whom they serve. That has not been happening in Marxachusetts for the last thirty plus years, and it's time to Make Massachusetts Great Again.

That includes forcing the governor to respect natural law and natural rights, which Baker threw away to make nice with the liberal loonies running Beacon Hill--and who cares if he dressed down the Corner Office!

Go Scott Lively Go! Check out the report from MassResistance:


Scott Lively upends Mass. State GOP Convention – gets 28% of convention vote for Governor!

Forces primary race against incumbent (RINO) Republican Charlie Baker!

Overcame massive campaign by establishment to stop Lively.

Also at convention: Huge pro-family wins in other major races.

May 2, 2018

Scott Lively during his speech before the Mass. GOP State Convention. It was a barn-burner! [All photos and video by MassResistance.]
In what can be considered the greatest Massachusetts pro-family victory in many years, Pastor Scott Lively shocked the GOP establishment (and the liberal media) at the Massachusetts State Republican Convention of the 2,300 delegates, held on April 28 at the DCU Center in Worcester. Lively clinched an official nomination for governor by receiving 28% of the convention vote against the current GOP governor, Charlie Baker, who is running for re-election. Lively will now run in a primary against Baker on Sept. 4. He accomplished this despite a massive effort by the GOP establishment to keep him from getting on the ballot. His speech before the convention (see video below) was a barn-burner that went right at the Governor.

Lively's supporters made themselves very visible.

A lot of Lively supporters also word "Make America Great Again" hats to show their support for President Trump -- whom Baker distances himself from -- along with "Governor Lively" stickers.

A terrible RINO as Mass. Governor

Over the last four years, Governor Charlie Baker has become beloved in the liberal press, but has been a nightmare for the GOP conservatives. Baker is enthusiastically pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, anti-Trump, and brags about “working across the aisle” with the Left.
Just of a few of Baker’s outrages:
  • He released a campaign video supporting “gay marriage”.
  • He filled much of his administration with liberal Democrats.
  • He signed the transgender “bathroom bill” into law.
  • He raised over a million dollars to unseat conservative members of the GOP State Committee
  • He announced that he would provide funding for Planned Parenthood if they lost federal funding.
  • His state budget included $1.4 billion to fight “climate change.”
  • He refused to meet with Vice President Pence when he was recently in town.
  • And much more.
All the while, Baker has been openly hostile to conservatives while friendly to liberals of all stripes.

Lively jumps into the race

Many remember that Scott Lively also ran for Governor four years ago as an Independent. He received only about 1% of the vote. But he got his feet wet, participated in some candidate debates, and a lot of people got to know him.
Back in December, Scott Lively announced that he would run against the Charlie Baker – this time as a Republican. Massachusetts needs conservative principles, and the Massachusetts GOP needs to be sent a strong message, said Lively. (See the website.) He was quickly welcomed by Republican activists across the state.
But getting on the Republican ballot is not easy. Besides getting the state-mandated 10,000 signatures, a Republican candidate for statewide office must also get at least 15% of the votes of delegates at the annual GOP convention. Many have failed at that. The GOP establishment is known for using sleazy tactics to keep conservatives off. Four years ago Mark Fisher barely squeaked by after the establishment tried to cheat him out of votes, but MassResistance videoed the count proving he actually made it. (Our video ended up costing the GOP $240,000 to settle Fisher’s subsequent lawsuit over it.)

Huge effort to keep Lively from getting 15% of the convention vote

Both the Baker campaign and the Mass. GOP establishment wanted the Governor to avoid having a primary opponent, especially someone as articulate as Lively. But they also knew there is great dissatisfaction and anger at Baker from conservatives.
So the Baker campaign embarked on a large, expensive campaign to persuade delegates to vote for him – or at least reject Lively by simply “blanking out” the ballot. Mailings, phone calls, personal pressure, etc. – including a vicious under-the-radar effort to discredit and demonize Lively personally. It lasted right up until the vote at the convention. We have rarely seen anything like it. More details on that coming up.

The Baker campaign had dozens of campaign workers in green shirts (with "18" on the back) with clipboards, to buttonhole delegates they believed were voting for LIvely.

The Baker army really worked the crowd.

A barn-burner speech by Lively

When it came to giving their convention speeches, the Governor spoke first. It was a fairly standard (and boring) stump speech, re-tooled a bit for the more conservative crowd. He talked about what he considered his accomplishments over the last four years and how he differed from the Democrats who control the state. He claimed credit for the economic turn-around. He never referred to Lively, either directly or indirectly.

Lively's banner that hung over the convention hall proceedings.
Then Scott Lively spoke. He was on fire (being a pastor helps with that)! He held nothing back. He lit right into the Governor. He talked about the terrible failings of the current administration and its liberal direction. When Lively talked about his support for President Trump he got loud cheers from the audience. He talked about his conservative vision for Massachusetts compared to the RINO-like GOP establishment. As his banner at the convention says, Lively is "Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Business, and Pro-Trump." He exhorted his supporters not to “blank out” their ballots, but to vote boldly!
VIDEO of Scott Lively speech before Mass. GOP Convention
NOTE: We are fixing the flicker problems. New version being uploaded!


Not happy campers. During Scott Lively's speech, State GOP Chairman Kirsten Hughes (left) and National Committeeman Ron Kaufman were not enjoying themselves.

But most of the delegates seemed seemed spellbound as Lively's tore apart the GOP establishment and talked about conservative values.
When the votes were counted – this time electronically, by an outside firm – Scott Lively shocked the Baker people and the establishment by getting nearly 28% of the delegates’ votes. They were visibly stunned.

Almost immediately after the vote, Gov. Baker (second from right) exited through a back door of the DCU Center.

The liberal media reacts

Within hours the major Massachusetts newspapers had articles posted about Lively making the ballot. One could tell that the reporters were seething under the surface. The Boston Globe’s State House reporter continued to call Lively a “fringe candidate.”


The other major pro-family victories at the convention!

According to the GOP Convention rules, the candidate who gets more than 50% of the delegate votes becomes the official “endorsed” candidate for that office in the primary. That can be important! If there are several candidates who get at least 15% but no one breaks 50%, they keep voting until someone gets over 50%.
Besides the Governor’s race, there were two offices where there were multiple candidates: Attorney General (to run against incumbent Democrat Maura Healey) and United States Senator (to run against incumbent Democrat Elizabeth Warren).
The anti-establishment wave was definitely felt:
For the Attorney General primary, Jay McMahon, a strong pro-family, pro-Second Amendment candidate won the endorsement, against Dan Shores. Jay is the real thing!
For the U.S. Senate primary, Geoff Diehl won the endorsement (after multiple floor votes) against John Kingston, an anti-Trump millionaire businessman, and Beth Lindstrom, a RINO from the Romney administration who was the favorite of the establishment. Geoff is currently a State Rep and one of the few who doesn’t sell out his conservative principles to the GOP leadership. He co-chaired the Trump-for-President campaign in 2016.

MassResistance table at the convention!

This year MassResistance had a table at the GOP convention. And we didn’t hold back, either. Of course, we were prominently selling our book, The Health Hazards of Homosexuality.But to reinforce the point, we were also selling our bare-knuckled “culture war” stickers.

The MassResistance table.

Our stickers (and book) were quite popular!
We didn’t anticipate was that our stickers would be quite popular, particularly with the younger crowd! Even some employees of the DCU Center bought some. We get the distinct feeling that people are tired of mealy-mouthed pro-family groups – and are looking for real culture-war fighters!

What would a GOP convention be without an LGBT table? This one was opposing the upcoming Mass. ballot question to repeal the "bathroom bill" that Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law last year.

What this means

For Scott Lively to get on the primary ballot against a sitting Governor – and getting over a quarter of the GOP convention delegates’ votes – is the Republican establishment’s worst nightmare. Dr. Lively is intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable on all the issues, a powerful speaker, and rock solid on everything pro-family and conservative. We’re not holding our breath for the Governor to agree to debate Lively in the primary.
Plus, Scott Lively doesn’t bend. That’s why the grassroots delegates like him – and why the liberals and RINOS hate him so much. They are often very hostile to what Lively has said or written, but when challenged they ultimately can’t claim that he’s factually incorrect.
Scott Lively is not simply “working the system,” but is taking the fight directly to our opponents. This is what should be happening across America (and beyond). The time for fearful, mealy-mouthed conservatives is over. We believe that Scott Lively represents a winning culture-war strategy. This will be an interesting summer in Massachusetts!

Keith Hardine: Want More Gun Control? Encourage More Self-Control

WANT MORE GUN CONTROL? ENCOURAGE MORE SELF CONTROL
By Keith Hardine 
Self Defense Consultant 

On MSNBC Live-2/22/18, at 9:48am ET DANA LOESCH (at CPAC) said: 

“I want you to all ask yourselves where are the stories about how 38 states submit less than 80 percent of criminal convictions to the background check system? It's only as good as what's submitted to it.



The murderer in the Charleston shooting was able to pass a background check even though he was a prohibitive gun possessor, because as former FBI director James Comey said, “They made a mistake. It was a paperwork error.” In Sutherland Springs, this mass murderer was able to go and mow down a church full of people why? Because the Air Force did not report his conviction.

* Source: At CPAC, Dana Loesch Demolishes Hypocritical, Gun-Grabbing Media, & Two-Faced Politicians.

I think that the same argument of bureaucratic incompetence applies to illegal immigration regarding Sanctuary States like California, where many local, and State Officials continue to pass legislation to “shield illegal aliens, including those criminally convicted, from federal detection and deportation while giving them new rights and benefits. And most controversial are measures like California’s SB 54, barring local law enforcement agencies from detaining people for the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if they are arrested only for a minor offense and otherwise eligible for release from custody.”

Our institutions of Government are becoming more destructive, rather than protective of these ends. In California, Progressive-Liberal logic says that teachers are not allowed to shoot back if under attack, and criminals face no mandatory sentence enhancement for using a gun in carrying out an attack. Governor Jerry Brown did this at the same time that he signed Assembly Bill 424, making it illegal for teachers to be armed on K-12 campuses for self-defense. Senate Bill 620 removed the mandatory enhancement for using a gun to commit a crime from the Penal Code and placed it at the total discretion of the judge presiding over the case, and there is no telling what the outcome of that might be. One might as well conclude that the California legislature and Governor Brown have made it illegal for teachers to be armed in schools for self-defense.

The ChicoER confirmed that, “...on the one hand Brown and the Legislature make it more difficult for a teacher to protect children against gun-wielding criminals, while on the other they reduce potential penalties for gun-wielding criminals.”
* Source: Gov. Jerry Brown Signs Bill Removing Penalty for Using Gun in Crime | Breitbart



The policies and laws just mentioned do not reflect our Founding Principles described in the Declaration of Independence—“that to secure these [Unalienable] Rights Government are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” I see neither Unalienable Rights, nor “the consent of the governed” being secured, or even being considered in any public policy that Democrats and some Republicans are pushing today, other than maybe a handful of conservative Republican caucus members, and  President Trump, who doubled down on his suggestion that “arming teachers could help prevent school shootings.” 

On Thursday, 2/22/2018, he added that “those trained to use firearms should receive extra pay” as well. THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA, AND A SOUND ONE IN MY VIEW! WHY? Because THE RIGHT OF SELF DEFENSE IS THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE, WHICH CANNOT BE ABROGATED BY ANY HUMAN LAW OF SOCIETY! 

James Wilson, a Supreme Court Justice appointed by President George Washington himself, a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution—I have no doubt—would have agreed with President Trump on this one. Wilson emphasized that:

  “In a state of Natural Liberty, every one is allowed to act according to his own inclination, provided he doesn't transgress those limits, which are assigned to him by the Laws of Nature..." 

Even the apostle Peter exhorted Christians in 1Peter2:13-17 to “use your freedom NOT as an excuse to do evil,” but to “Fear God,” and “respect the king”—or those who are upholding our Constitution, (Article IV, Section 4, & Article VI), which represents the supreme law of United States.http://biblehub.com/nlt/1_peter/2.htm 



Teachers, who consider themselves subject to “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” and receive the proper training ought to step up and encourage more self government in our youth, which will come through a greater understanding—as stated by George Washington—of how “to defend their own Natural Rights of life, liberty and property; to discern and provide against invasions of them; to distinguish between oppression and the necessary exercise of lawful authority…to discriminate the spirit of liberty from that of licentiousness – cherishing the first, avoiding the last; and uniting a speedy but temperate vigilance against encroachments, with an inviolable respect to laws” that do not deprive good citizens of their Natural Right to Self Defense.

Wilson taught that because Natural Rights are based on Natural Law, they exist prior to Government. And human nature doesn’t change. It is because mankind is depraved that their needs to be available the means for good citizens to check aggressors who seek to destroy their Natural Rights. Protecting these Rights is the state's most important responsibility. But in no way does the state possess the absolute right to deprive citizen’s of their Natural Right to resist the aggressor.

California MassResistance Statement on Taiwan Supreme Court Ruling on Gay Marriage

This judicial tyranny from the Supreme Court of Taiwan affirms that this is the only means by which LGBT agitators can force their perverted vision of "marriage equality" onto this or any other country. For the last fie years, the homosexual-transgender lobby has long understood that the only way to ensure the passage and accept of "gay marriage" would have to go through the judicial system. The arbitrary arrogance of supreme courts has overruled the will of people and natural law countless times, and has become the final means of imposing this unnatural, immoral travesty on individuals.

For two decades, LGBT forces in the United States relied on the ballot box and the initiative process to impose a radical, unacceptable redefinition of marriage. Even in liberal California, the majority of voters rejected gay marriage and enshrined the natural, proper definition of marriage through a 2008 initiative vote. When those efforts failed, they launched federal lawsuits to undermine the will of the voters and the well-being of the community. One lawsuit filed against California's pro-family initiative Prop 8 ended up throwing out Prop 8 on procedural grounds.



The disastrous United States Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015 affirmed that judicial bullying based on political correctness, distorted renderings of the United States Constitution and the fundamental definition of liberty would carry the day. Now this horrid reality has inflicted the Taiwanese government.


Both natural affection and moral recognition throughout human history proves that marriage is an institution defined by one man and one woman. Children understand the need for a mother and a father, and societies as a whole thrive based on the necessary institution of family. Numerous studies in sociology, epidemiology, and psychology have affirmed the importance of natural marriage and the nuclear family. This matter is too great, and abuse by judicial authorities, is too great for pro-family activists to ignore. It's time for pro-family forces to ensure judicial restraint or if necessary, civil disobedience to uncivil a cultural shift as "gay marriage". The threats to life and liberty will only grow worse for the Taiwanese people following this disastrous decision.
