Stand Your Ground Movement, Part III
Submitted by cchumita on Fri, 06/15/2007 - 00:15.A Movement That Needs To Coalesce Nationwide.
By John Longenecker
It’s Not About Crime Anymore. It’s about anti-crime policies that don’t work, but for officials and specific industries.
Anti-crime policies drain sovereignty out of the home like gasoline companies drain money out of your budget.
The Stand Your Ground movement began as a pro-household / pro-individual legislation addressing when persons face grave danger, including the criminal and civil penalties imposed. Many of these were recognized as unproductive, as nothing more than social engineering to the gain of those who wanted to make money or political prestige on the tragedy of others. This sort of trading on human tragedy is not only un-American, but can be traced to one party. The political party which proposed that we understand the criminal, to believe that he/she must somehow have a reason for crime, or that criminal acts were nothing more than a mistake, that poverty is good, is the sum of the Democrat party’s portfolio of achievement. It is they who accuse the Conservatives of no compassion, of being uptight, of being greedy, racist, extreme and intolerant, but it is they who wish to silence opposing views in order to enforce these imposing, unnatural controls.
The Stand Your Ground movement is an answer to the lies; it brings choice. The Stand Your Ground movement is the comparison for any citizen to make in determining our way of life in America. The Stand Your Ground movement is a self-defense move using the American values of due process and follow-through. The Stand Your Ground movement is a single voice saying enough!
The Stand Your Ground movement began as a Florida ruling called The Castle Doctrine in regard to personal self-defense in time of grave danger. The Doctrine said that a person’s home is their Castle, and recognized the home as consecrated and properly untouchable. The Castle Doctrine actually recognizes the persons of the household, its real thrust. Naturally, then, the later extension of the Castle Doctrine which recognizes the person outside the boundaries of the home is an affirmation of that value: the persons, the family. Naturally.

History from the Barrel of a Gun
By Gerard Valentino
Those on the left try to paint the history of humankind as a constant evolving process of refinement and increasing levels of civilized behavior with all major advances discovered by the scientific method. They also try to paint war as barbaric and only useful to cover upcoming administration scandals or, if a Republican president is responsible for using force, as a political game to be played regardless of the damage it does to our soldiers fighting overseas.
Despite the left’s claims to the contrary, however, the history of freedom is intertwined with the history of warfare, and in particular the history of the firearm. War spurred most of the major scientific breakthroughs in the fields of medicine, engineering, flight, metallurgy, communications and physical fitness. Even today many of the technological breakthroughs we take for granted like Global Position Systems in cars were perfected for use by the military.
Most of the key battles for freedom were only possible because of private ownership of firearms.
