"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." U.S. Constitution, First Amendment
"A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." U.S. Constitution, Second Amendment
These two amendments, 1A and 2A, form the basis of our liberty as Americans. In 1A, we have freedom of expression. That is, American citizens can say, study, write, publish, or gather to discuss, as well as present to the government, any fact or opinion they like. The only restriction is that the expression not be physically threatening, as for example yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. With this exception, the government must not abridge any free expression of the people.
The Second Amendment, 2A, also restrains the government. In this case the right to maintain and carry weapons, including but not limited to, firearms, is reserved to the people. The stated reason is to support a "well-regulated militia"; however "militia" may be interpreted, the right to have weapons is based on self defense.
Without the right to self defense, it is hard to imagine why we would need to defend the state. If we did not have a self-evident right to defend ourselves, what else could we defend? Anyway the state is an extension of self, and family, and community. Therefore 2A should be read as a right to bear arms in defense of our selves, families, neighbors, and homeland. State laws typically comply with this reasoning.
Indeed, without a right to self defense, it is hard to make sense of the Declaration of Independence' words, that "life" is an "inalienable right". All organisms defend themselves- that is, if they want to survive.
All men should be able and ready to defend themselves, that is if we want to speak and act freely. Our precious right of free expression, as a free state, relies on the ability to defend it. In brief: guns give freedom.
As for me, in America I have the freedom to burn a Qur'an, or a Bible, or a Flag for that matter; and the right to carry a weapon backs me up. Without weapons, I have nothing to do but submit to the "politically correct"; with a weapon, and with the weapons of my neighbors around me, I can calmly and fearlessly speak my mind.
To those who hotly complain against the right to bear arms, I ask: who protects you? Is it not the thousands of men (and women) who bear arms in your stead? Is it not those unsung and by you unappreciated armies of gun-bearers, who stand and fight, and sometimes die, for you? One of the greater ironies of American life is that pacifists are protected by gun-bearers.
I am speaking of police officers, and air marshals, and soldiers and sailors and Marines, and armed civilians also: all those who do "keep and bear arms", ready to defend this nation and your life. Please take a moment from your pacifistic preaching to remember them, who fight so you do not have to.

Jade Manhood 10.25.10
We wage war as always: against the enemies of our families and friends. Whether against marauding mammoths, microbes, or Muslim hordes, men of honor will stand and face the enemy.
We will not shy or try to hide in comforting excuses. There are no excuses, and few words: for us there is only blood and sword.
Chimpanzee males stay on the ground to face the panther, so that females and young can escape.
Xia, bushido.
A man of jade is already broken, already dead. We have nothing to fear but loss of honor, and we will not lose that. We will stand for truth and righteousness and, like William Braveheart, cry "Freedom!" with our last breath. We regard our lives as belonging to all people, and thus we live beyond ourselves. The man of jade has life without limit.

Jade Manhood
Manhood is controlled agression.
Men define manhood, and male sexuality. Women cannot define us, since they do not have the chemistry to experience our drives. Therefore all statements about what is "normal" for men, advanced by women, are false. Men alone have the power, and the right, to define ourselves, our sexuality, and our place in society.
Feeding, Fighting, and F'mating.
Or, providing, protecting, and "Pollinating"
The rise of feminism, and the loss of male power in the West, is directly the result of male abdication of our place of power. This abdication, which I emphasize is the action of men ourselves, has caused the emasculation of men in the public eye, and at home. The results are disastrous for families and society as a whole.
We cannot even fight a war because the men in charge, who have got themselves drunk on political correctness, are afraid to name the enemy. They call our enemy "terror", and speak of a "war on terror". This is pathetic and unmanly.
First of all, the word should be "terrorism". Secondly, we cannot wage war on a tactic. It is as if we called for a war on ambushes, or on the battle cry "Allah hu Akbar!" We can only fight what we can name, and I am extremely grateful that Leutenant Colonel Allen West (R., FL) is among the few politicians bold enough to name our current enemy: and that name is Islam.
The war we are waging against this militant theocratic ideology, which is absolutely not a religion, is war for the United States of America. Islam openly plans on imposing the Bronze Age code of Sharia law over our enlightened Constitution. It is a war for our wives and children, whom the Muslims openly claim as "war booty". The fate of women and especially female children under Islam is well and graphically documented. We wage ultimately a war for civilization against barbarism.

The Way of Jade Manhood
In about the year 550AD, a man named Yuan JingHao was executed by a jealous and frightened emperor. JingHao's family, the Yuan, had been threatened by the emperor; and the family elders wanted to change their name to the emperor's, in order to mollify him. But JingHao said, "Why should we change our ancient name? It is better to die a broken jade, than to live as a whole clay tile." The emperor heard this, and arrested, then executed the brave man. However, Yuan JingHao's name has come down through history as a man who stood for principle above his own life.
To this day, Chinese people learn the story and the saying of Yuan JingHao. The saying also appears in a Bruce Lee film, The Game of Death. In a place of danger, one of Mr. Lee's body doubles says, "It is better to die a broken jade, than to live a life of clay."
"Broken Jade" is the battle cry of noble men, from the Roman "Mors ante Infamiam" ("Death before Dishonor") to the Zapatista's "It is better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees." In the United States of America, the Revolutionary patriot Patrick Henry uttered the stirring words, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" The state motto of New Hamshire is "Liberty or Death".
Then on Lexington Green, on April 19, 1775, an unknown man "fired the shot heard 'round the world." These words appear in Ralph Waldo Emerson's Concord Hymn, composed in 1836. Emerson wrote the Hymn for the dedication of the Obelisk, a memorial to the Revolutionary Minutemen. The entire Hymn appears below. Please remember those men who gave themselves for the liberty we enjoy.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
