Illegal Government Shut-Down By Stompy-Foot Democrats: Just Like Hillary, We're All Above the Law Now!

THE NEW ANTI-CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

"A man's rights rest in three boxes: the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box."--Frederick Douglass, 1867

It's no surprise that after 7 & 1/2 years of a Castro-Lite administration, the House Democrats are acting like the legislature of a Communist Banana Republic that their party has become. Except the public voted for a Republican House, so this has the odor of a beer-hall putsch, mixed with stale bong-water.

Ted Cruz used the rules for his Government Shutdown. Democrats are breaking the law to shut down the House unless they can repeal the Second Amendment by gutting the 5th Amendment:  "No person shall be...deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."

Allahpundit:

"Not 24 hours ago, Senate Democrats had the chance to vote on a bill that would have given them the core of what they want, namely, DOJ power to block gun purchases by anyone on a terror watch list. All they had to do was make a simple concession to due process by requiring the feds to go to court and show their work, proving to a judge within three days of the attempted purchase that the person on the list was actually dangerous. Too many innocent people have been put on watch lists erroneously to grant the federal government power to strip them of their rights with no judicial safeguard. That was the Cornyn bill; it died in the Senate, 53/47, when Democrats refused to give it the 60 votes it needed for cloture. The left killed the bill only because it provided due process to gun owners. Even the ACLU is aghast."...........

These are the people who worry about voting rights of poor people on welfare if they're asked for ID (yet they had to have ID to get benefits!). They stay up all nights worrying about the Iron-Clad Rights of Gitmo Detainees...but your Due Process Rights are a mere technicality subject to Barack Obama's whims.

They might as well repeal the First Amendment, too. That's because when Mateen was refused weaponry at the gun store, he got on his cell phone and used his Free Speech rights to further his terrorist plot in Pashtun--we'll get the sanitized translation any minute now. If only we had Phone Control, we could have listened in and saved many lives.

And we could repeal the Sixth Amendment, too. The FBI could have stopped him cold when they questioned him, if only they could have searched his house without a warrant. We need Privacy Control. Midnight searches save lives, too.

It's not about terrorism. Democrats are fighting so hard because an armed citizenry stands between them and their dream of a full-on One-Party State, the Socialist Utopia.

In other words, the Second Amendment is working JUST AS IT WAS DESIGNED.

The House rabble is hiding behind John Lewis, who once stood up for Civil Rights, but is now sitting down against them. How quickly he forgets:

"A second prominent lawmaker said Friday that he's been subjected to extra security at airports because his name appears on a list designed to prevent terrorists from boarding planes.

Rep. John Lewis, D - Georgia, a nine-term congressman famous for his civil rights work with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., has been stopped 35 to 40 times over the past year, his office said. ...

Lewis contacted the Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security and executives at various airlines in a so-far fruitless effort to get his name off the list, said spokeswoman Brenda Jones.

Instead, Lewis got a letter from the Transportation Security Administration that he can present to ticket agents indicating he has cleared an identity check with the agency. But the letter warns he might still be subject to extra security checks before being allowed to fly.

Other airline passengers have been given similar letters after they've complained to the TSA.

The letter given to others reads in part, "While TSA cannot ensure that this procedure will relieve all delays, we hope it will facilitate [a] more efficient check-in procedure for you."

Jones said Lewis' office has been contacted by another man named John Lewis seeking assistance from the congressman because he, too, has faced extra screening.

Lewis is frustrated by the experience, Jones said.

In one incident, security officials took "every single item" out of his luggage, she said. Another time, after he was allowed to board, security officials questioned him at his seat."..............

If that's how they treat a Congressman, what do you think it will be like for the average peasant?

But John Lewis is not the only one with Civil Rights experience.

Condi Rice:

[Birmingham, Alabama, 1963] ..."[A]fter the first explosion, Daddy just went outside and sat on the porch with his gun on his lap. He sat there all night looking for white night riders.

Eventually Daddy and the men of the neighborhood formed a watch. They would take shifts at the head of the entrances to our streets. Occasionally they would fire a gun into the air to scare off intruders, but they never actually shot anyone. Because of this experience, I'm a fierce defender of the 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms.

Had my father and his neighbors registered their weapons, Bull Connor surely would have confiscated them or worse. The Constitution speaks of the right to a well-regulated militia. The inspiration for this was the Founding Fathers' fear of the government. They insisted that citizens have the right, if necessary, to resist the authorities themselves. What better example of responsible gun ownership is there than what the men of my neighborhood did in response to the KKK and Bull Connor?"

The event that seared its way most powerfully into Rice’s memory was the 1963 bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. She heard the blast. Rice recalls the terror she felt as an eight-year-old. “These terrible events burned into my consciousness,” she remembers. And, as America shook its head in disbelief at the murder of four girls, Condi was mourning the two she knew personally--including Denise McNair, her kindergarten classmate. “I remember more than anything the coffins, the small coffins, and the sense that Birmingham was not a very safe place.“
 Armed with a shotgun, her father joined the other men of the black community in night patrols to keep the KKK out of the neighborhood. It was in the crucible of that experience that Condoleezza developed her opposition to gun control and came to value what she sees as the Second Amendment guarantee of the ”right to bear arms.“

"I also don’t think we get to pick and choose in the Constitution. The Second Amendment is as important as the First Amendment. My father and his friends defended our community in 1962 and 1963 against white nightriders sitting there armed. And so I’m very concerned about any abridgement of the Second Amendment. I am a Second Amendment absolutist."
