  • Wisdom of the American Founders

    A careful analysis of U.S. history reveals that virtually every serious problem now confronting American society can be traced to a departure from the sound principles taught by these great statesmen. ---Jay A. Parry, National Center for Constitutional Studies

  • CANNOT HALF-HEARTEDLY SUPPORT CONSTITUTION

    I am not partly for the Constitution, and partly against it; I am wholly for it. I disdain the character of an uncommitted man. I am committed, fully committed to the constitution. And i am committed against everything which, in my judgment, may weaken, endanger, or destroy it. And especially against all extension of executive power; and any attempt to rule the free people of this country by the power and the patronage of the government itself. --- Daniel Webster

  • Liberty Requires Property

    The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. Property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist. ---John Adams

  • First Duty of Citizens

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens, and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. ---James Madison

  • To Whom Does Freedom Belong?

    God grants freedom only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it. --- Daniel Webster

Personal Self-Protection, at Home and on the High Seas

Posted on April 17, 2009 by selfevident1

Though not directly a part of my personal prosperity prime for the day, I think the topic of personal self-defense is increasingly critical in our world. The recent pirate hostage situation off the coast of Somalia is a prime example, but this topic goes right into the living room of every single household in America, as well as every single church, and every single school. In short, every public and private gathering place on earth requires personal self-protection. To delegate this to government in any way is weak and immoral, and, frankly, costs too many innocent lives.

Though I disagree with the pseudo-journalistic bias of the reporter in this video clip, I thoroughly loved and enjoyed the discussion by the two guests. Please take a look and tell me what you think.
