The 4 Boxes of our Political system.

 This is a repost, but relevant,  I wanted to post something else but was unable to.

 I have commented repeatedly that the people that want to gut our 2nd amendment rights are perfectly happy to let the government have guns and these people whom are statist and believe that the government is all knowing and all doing and is this benevolent master, they have this parent child relationship with the government.  I and many like me view government as a necessary evil and our founders put checks and balances in the system including the 2nd amendment to prevent the government from "getting to big for their britches" to use a southernism. 

 The elitist are pushing the latest shooting and stabbings to try to disarm the American people, especially the middle class, the bulwark against the elitist that would try to rule be imperial fiat.  In a lot of countries, there are the very rich and the poor, there are no middle ground.  in those countries, the rule of law are the same, there is one rule for the rich and one rule for the "great unwashed".  The middle class is a check on the unfettered desires of the 1%ers that do desire to rule because they are "our betters".    I first heard of the 4 post of our political system from a now retired talk show host by the name of Neal Boortz.  After the recent shootings, this is a reminder of what can happen if tyranny disguised as the "caring liberals" makes an appearance.

The 4 boxes of the American Political System.

  I had posted this back when I first started blogging.  I will repost since it is pertinent to today's discussions on government and overreach.   The 4 boxes of the American political system work like this:

      1.    The Soapbox :  I can stand on a soapbox and criticize the power structure and the politicians and not get thrown in jail and sent to a gulag or get asked "Where do you want your remains sent to?"

     2.  The Ballot Box:  I can vote for whomever I want without fear of being thrown into prison for supporting the "Wrong candidate" or being wrapped in a tire and set on fire.

     3.  The jury box:  I can feel confident that the rule of law will apply equally to everybody without regard to station in life. and due process isn't being asked "which ear do you want the bullet?

     4. Cartridge box:  You open the 4th one when the others are threatened and get the first 3 back.

I shamelessly clipped this argument off farcebook after after getting into it with a hippie after the 2nd assassination attempt on President Trump.  Hippies I swear, 

Liberal idiot stridently insists that the AR-15 round is uniquely powerful and terrible. I explain that muzzle energy is the commonly accepted metric for determining how powerful a round is. And that the AR-15’s .223 round has 60% less muzzle energy than the .30-06 and 30-40% less than other common deer hunting rounds.
Liberal idiot then insists that the .223 round is much deadlier because it’s much faster. I explain that the muzzle energy formula takes velocity into account and that the .223 has about the same velocity as most deer hunting rounds and is only about 10% faster than the .30-06.

Liberal idiot then insists that the .223 round is especially deadly because it’s a lighter round (!). Speechless, I start to explain that muzzle energy directly correlates to mass, so a round that’s half as heavy will have half the muzzle energy, assuming the same velocity.
Then I stop, bid him adieu and delete his messages. And hope my IQ recovers by Thursday..
Folks, THIS is the degree of stupidity we’re dealing with. They literally know NOTHING about guns and aggressively refuse to learn even the most basic facts. We can’t reason with people who are intentionally and insistently uninformed. And any Republican Quisling who makes nice with these fanatics should be kicked out of the party.

The American Political system explained in a nutshell...or a box

 I was rummaging through the attic of my early postings trying to find a post that I did about HR4646 the 1% tax on everything financial because it is making noise again in certain areas up in D.C in the name of "Debt Reduction" when I saw this posting that I did shortly after I started blogging.  I figured I would repost it because it is one of my favorite quotes.


Where I work at, we have people that are either legal aliens or naturalized citizens and we got on a discussion on the American political system.   I had for several years used the "box system":

     there are 4 boxes to the American political system:

   The first box is the soupbox, I can stand on it and say anything critical of the government without going to a gulag.

    The second box is the ballot box, I can vote for whomever i want without incurring the wraith of the party in power and having a tire wrapped around me and set on fire.

    The 3rd box of our political system is the jury box, The rule of law applies to all people regardless of socioeconomic status.  The political elite can go to jail as well as John Q public.

    the 4th box of our political system is the cartridge box, you open the 4th one when the government takes the first 3 away and get them back.  the 2nd amendment ain't about duck hunting.

     The United States as with most western based societies have the rule of law, the other places in the world have what is called the rule of man or mob rule, where your civil rights are when they ask which ear do you want the bullet and due process is charging your family the cost of the bullet.   I have been on many other places in the world, I enjoy  the travel and the experience, but it makes me appreciate the U.S.A more so when I return.
