index -- Price of Liberty

On January 29, Jeff Jordan, aka "The Hunter" was returning to his home in New Hampshire after visiting relatives for Christmas in Kansas. Unfortunately, his road home lay through the state of Ohio. Hunter was in a hurry to get home, as were so many of us over the holidays, and, got stopped in Ohio for speeding. The trooper claims he saw one of Hunter's mag pouches on his belt and searched Hunter and his vehicle, finding "multiple weapons". (Troopers arrest man with multiple weapons in car, Trooper Finds Weapons Stash In SUV).

This would have been a little noticed story, one of hundreds, of the "another gun nut caught" variety, except for one thing. Jeff Jordan, aka "The Hunter", is a right well known and well loved liberty activist; one of the first "Knights of Non Aggression" at the Liberty Round Table, a favorite columnist at Sierra Times, Doing Freedom, The Price of Liberty and other publications, a friend and supporter of the Free State Project, with his own frequently traveled website,as well as the Safe Skies website, and moderator of the LRT discussion list as well as participant on many other e-lists and forums. As for myself, I know Hunter as a true friend and colleague, always ready to think up "new ways" to "do freedom", in small actions and large; in fact, I had just finished reading one of his latest columns "50 Ways to Leave Leviathan" when the news of his arrest hit my neck of cyberspace.

It has been pointed out to me by readers that I erred in going along with the description of so-called “assault rifles” as being “weapons.” But the term “assault rifles” is a misnomer as well. And this is not by either accident or due to ignorance – these misnomers are crucial to the destruction of our Second Amendment.

Leftist gun controllers mislabel themselves as well. They’re not “controllers,” but rather abolitionists. They even deliberately mislabel their leftist agenda as being “liberal;” it’s not. Liberals are what Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were. And not one of them would support today’s so-called “liberal” agenda characterized by the insanity that demands that all Americans turn their guns in to government, the latter strictly prohibited from enforcing such unconstitutional, freedom-crushing statism by the Second Amendment.

The George Who Lost America, Redux
By Karen Kwiatkowski

Like the vast majority of Americans, I don’t harbor blind, irrational, or any other kind of hatred for George W. Bush. In this, I am in good company with at least 52% or 53% of the population. That’s all it will take in 2004, by the way.

In an era where Wal-Mart shoppers like me have tightened our belt a bit, we can certainly appreciate that, for those who donate money to George W. Bush’s re-election campaign, he is a penny pincher extraordinaire.

I commend the President on his tightwad ways with a political donation. It’s too bad he doesn’t extend this same courtesy to our money otherwise extracted.

Sadly, the cash wrung from already squeezed taxpayers, small businesses and investors through taxes and fees is not treated with the same tender concern by our Great Leader. (Read the rest here)
