Assault on US from southern border to explode with 'immigration reform'

To be fair, U.S. immigration policy has been in dire need of revision for decades, although not in the manner that "immigration reform" proponents desire. The politicians who support such reforms want a policy that will lead to an explosive assault on the United States from the southern border.

U.S. immigration policy has been woefully unfair, too lax, and based on numbers that the economy and the society as a whole cannot sustain. Even with the current laxity of immigration, that is not enough for law-breakers who decide to illegally enter the country.

Spotlight on hypocrisy of gun control elites

The spotlight is now shining on the hypocrisy of gun control elitists in public office and in Hollywood as they attack the right of citizens to self-defense with guns while carving out convenient exceptions for themselves.

Two new examples of this hypocrisy are in the news today.

And when will there be justice for the accessories to murder in our government????

Ordeal with law enforcement leads to questions on gun permits

A family's recent ordeal with law enforcement over their concealed carry gun permit has led at least one noted commentator to call for the ditching of the permits and for gun owners to engage in "Constitutional carry" without a permit at all.

Income redistribution to go global?


Income redistribution, unfortunately, has received new life after the total demise of its adherents in the Communist world. With the demise of the Soviet Union and its grip on Eastern Europe, Marxism was exposed as a fraud -- a Utopian ideal that is not based on the real world and is thus doomed for failure at the outset.

Today, however, the notion that what I earn is not mine but belongs to government, which then takes it and doles it out the way they see fit, is seeing a renaissance.

New study debunks common myths on mass shootings

According to a new crime study published by a criminology professor at Northwestern University, most of the commonly accepted talking points on mass shootings are false.

One of the most common of the myths, the notion that mass shootings are on the rise and thus drastic action needs to be taken to stop them, is a narrative created in the minds of anti-gun enthusiasts and mainstream media hacks who have a hidden agenda to disarm the public.

Tyrants who are saying nothing tip their hand


The thing is, though, much to the horror of the tyrants, many "anybody elses" are already involved in the resistance in various and sundry ways. Their worst fear, thus, has already come upon them. While not all may be smuggling or sending magazines into states where they are forbidden, in their own way and using their own skill set they are thwarting the march of the tyrants in this country. And the more the tyrants double down on their plans and tactics, the more widespread and vehement the resistance.

Do not underestimate the resolve and the resilience of a patriot who is determined to secure God-given rights and to protect those rights.

"So, Mr. Martin, why do you write so often about guns and gun rights? What's with the guns?"

When I launched The Liberty Sphere in 2006 I had intended to write about a variety of issues from a conservative/libertarian perspective. I have stayed with that objective.

I write about politics, the Bill of Rights, free speech, free religion, free assembly, and a free press, along with commentary on the modern culture. I have done all of that and still do it, as you will note in my various posts on Gospel music, the Philadelphia Orchestra, conductor Eugene Ormandy, and such.

But I also stated at the outset I would write about guns and gun rights issues.

A reader took issue with the fact that I put so much emphasis on guns. She wanted to know why I do it. Of course, she is a gun control freak, not a rabid one, but enough of one to be considered on the other side of the issue. And she takes offense at my musings on the subject.

So here is my answer.

I am more convinced than ever that if we are to protect our rights as delineated in the Bill of Rights from the growing government tyranny, then gun rights are key. The Founders discovered that they had to have their firearms to shake off the grip of the oppressive British Empire and it's King.

Much discussion has ensued through the years about which was the first right to be embraced by the Founders. One would be hard pressed to prove that it was anything other than gun rights. It was the guns that secured for them all of the other rights.

This, then, is why you will find so much about guns here and in my Examiner columns. Collectivists in high offices throughout the land have launched a coordinated effort to roll back, then register, and then confiscate the guns of the citizens. They know that this is the key to their success...and the key to our demise.

As long as we, the citizens, have over 200 million guns at our ready disposal, it is downright dangerous for collectivists in our own government to subdue us, forcing us into submission to an ideology and lifestyle we deplore. Thus, the collectivist must first get rid of the guns, just as they always have in places where they have been successful -- Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, Communist China, Communist Cuba, etc, etc.

Not only that, but the collectivist believes that government and its oppressive arm, the military and law enforcement, should have a monopoly on firearms. This is another convenient way for them to force us into submission. If they have confiscated our guns and then send the regime military and law enforcement to force us into submission at the barrel end of a gun, then how on earth are we going to resist without being killed on the spot?

At least with our guns we would have a fighting chance. And more than likely we would have the upper hand because the Leviathans have no idea who or how many of us have guns, or how many guns we have, and they have no idea how many of us would actually go to war with them to protect the rights that are supposed to be protected in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.

This uncertainty is exactly what we want. This is precisely where we want them -- so uncertain about the outcome of any government tyranny that they will hesitate about attacking us, and then so uncertain that they will conclude that attacking us is too great a risk to undertake.   

Unfortunately for the Jews of Eastern Europe prior to WW II, Hitler was able to round them up, put them in cattle cars on trains, and transport them directly to their deaths precisely because he had already disarmed them.

Had the Jews kept their firearms and been willing to use them against murderous thugs of their own government, then perhaps the death camps could have been avoided.

This is a valuable lesson for us today.

Thanks, gentlemen

Just a personal word to highlight some friends of note. Over the past few weeks some highly respected and trusted friends of mine have cited articles I have written, passing them along to their readers.

So, a special thanks goes to Pete, David, Kurt, and Mike...and others who are not as well known but are valuable in what they have to say nonetheless.

I have never been a "well known personality" in my endeavors. I am not a "star." Never have been and never will be. The things I have done in life have been largely unnoticed like most people, as my focus has been on the servant role. My calling in life has been to go to places that need a helpful presence, a symbol of hope in a hopeless world. Sometimes this meant being pastor of a church. Sometimes this meant being the musical director for a church. And sometimes this meant an even more specialized focus on forgotten persons in society who often fall through the cracks and get devoured by the vast bottomless pit of despair, darkness, and death.

Christian ministry is not glamorous like it is portrayed on TV as embodied by the big "mega-church" pastors. For the most part I have worked down in the trenches of chaplaincy -- healthcare ministry specifically. And while I have provided specialized ministry to a wide variety of types of patients, my training focused primarily on the subcategory of mental health patients and persons with addictions.

Within this sector of Christian ministry you neither want nor seek recognition.

The move I made away from Christian healthcare to where I am now is a long story that is simply too complicated to recount in any depth. Suffice it to say that I now find myself in a position to write about things I care very deeply about. I have been involved in politics in some way all of my life, mainly behind the scenes. At this stage of life I had an opportunity to carry my thoughts to a broader audience.

And, in order to get your stuff read, you have to promote it. It helps tremendously if others think that what you have to say is important enough for them to promote it too.

This is why my deepest gratitude goes to all of those who have brought attention to these pages and to my articles at The Examiner. Not only is it comforting to know that people will take it upon themselves to do this but that should a massive societal implosion take place I have some friends that I would be honored to stand beside in the fight.

God bless you one and all. And thanks again.
