"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals,one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."
Ayn Rand 1905-1982
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion; the stage where government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."

Manhattan man in court for fishing without license, resisting arrest | KRTV.com | Great Falls, Montana
You'd think the Judge would have dismissed the case.
Manhattan man in court for fishing without license, resisting arrest | KRTV.com | Great Falls, Montana
MANHATTAN - It was a packed courtroom on Tuesday for the hearing of Ernie Tertelgte, a Manhattan man who says he's being wrongly prosecuted for trying to feed himself.
Tertelgte, 52 years old, was arrested on Monday and is accused of fishing without a license and then resisting arrest.
He appeared before the judge via video from the Gallatin County Detention Center, and it was standing room only more than a dozen friends and family members filled the small courtroom.
Tertelgte appeared subdued and respectful before the Justice of the Peace during Tuesday's court session, which went very differently than his court appearance earlier this month, where Tertelgte and Three Forks City Judge Wanda Drusch got into a heated exchange.
Terteltge argued that the court did not have the authority to charge him, citing "natural law."
He told the judge, "You are trying to create a fictitious, fraudulent action." He continued, "I am the living man, protected by natural law."
He then yelled, "Do not tell me to shut up! I am the living, natural man, and my voice will be heard!"
Terteltge then pointed at the flag and said, "That is the Jolly Roger, that thing you call the American flag with the golf fringe around it is the Jolly Roger, and you are acting as one of its privateers!"
When the judge noted that he had pleaded not guilty, Terteltge countered, "I never plead, animals plead, sounds like baaaa, oink oink."
The back and forth exchange continued for a few more moments, and the hearing ended after both the judge and the defendant walked out.
This time, extra law enforcement officers were in court Tuesday and the proceedings happened without any outbursts.
A friend of Tertelgte's told us that he and the others came to court to enforce the Constitution.
William Wolf said, "It's we the people that run this and rule this country, not we the courts, not we the government, and if the people don't start standing up for themselves and for each other, we are going to continue being subjects of this government."
Justice Adams set Tertelgte's bond at $500 and his next court hearing is scheduled for January.

Buffalo's Carl Paladio wants to cull the old RINO's from the herd!
To: New York State
Republicans and Conservatives
From: Carl PaladinoDate: November 18, 2013
Re: New York State Republican Party and 2014 Elections
On Friday I spoke with both Ken Lovett of the N.Y. Daily News and Rob Astorino and explained to each of them my current position on New York State Republican politics. This morning Ken Lovett wrote an article interpreted by the pretenders of the Republican establishment that I have weakened in my position.
Not true.
The facts are as follows:
1. The
upstate Republican rank and file are agitated and frustrated at not being
represented by their valueless elected Republican legislators who also fail to
provide an opposition to the Cuomo/Silver machine. They no longer want
gutless RINO (Republican in Name Only) leaders making decisions for them.
They want representation that promotes their beliefs but instead are given
spineless RINOs who share no common values. The national and state
Republican establishment gave us Mitt Romney, a loser who was fool enough to
side with the 1% against the 99%. Also, in 2010 they tried to deny me the
opportunity to speak at the Convention and then gave us Rick Lazio. The
rank and file spoke clearly in the primary, but the establishment laid down in
the general election.
2. This
coming year the rank and file will choose who they want to be their candidates
for statewide office. Republican establishment leadership will no longer
shove RINOs down their throats. I intend to change the Republican Party
as we have known it with the voluntary or forced resignation of previously
identified RINO County Chairs like Vinny Reda, in Rockland County, as well as
Dean Skelos as Majority Leader of the Senate and Brian Kolb as the Minority
Leader of the Assembly. Their neglect of the values of those who put them
in office and failure to provide legitimate opposition to the State's
Democratic Party machine is unforgivable. Without formidable opposition,
the Democrats produce criminal legislators and liberal regressive legislation
at an alarming rate.
It's time for party leadership at every level to respect those
who put them in office, and to lead, follow or get out of the way.

Browning 7mm A-bolt used looks rough, shoots great!
You are purchasing a well used 7mm A-Bolt.
I don't have any history on it other than it was neglected. The bore is nice and trigger is light and crisp. Shoots great , she just looks ugly.
I took 360 grit and oil to the barrel & magazine to see how deep the corrosion when under the old oil and crud. I figure this was a truck gun. A good Parkerizing and a little wood work and you'll have a pretty firearm. And we all know the better they look, the better they shoot.
Comes with a Bushnell 3x9 model unknown.
Price includes shipping to your FFL

New York six constitutional amendments Nov 5th
On November 5, voters across the state will be asked to pass or defeat six
constitutional amendments appearing on this year’s ballot. Below is the NYS
Conservative Party’s position on each. I fully concur with their stance on
each proposition.
-Carl PaladinoMost of the summaries are straight forward, however the most controversial proposal, asking voters to approve or disapprove casino gambling (Proposal #1), is written to suggest that approval will lower your taxes and provide more money to your schools. It is permitted to present a one-sided view; however, it certainly is deceptive since the language in the Bill passed by the Legislature does not include the benefits the proposal suggests the voters will receive if approved.
The New York State Conservative Party recommends a NO vote on Proposal #1.
For Proposal #2, we recommend a YES vote; Proposal #3 a NO vote, Proposal #4 a YES vote, Proposal #5 a YES vote and Proposal #6 (raising the retirement age of Judges) a NO vote.
Our positions are stated in the following 4-page synopsis of the 6-ballot proposals for 2013.
Synopsis is as follows:
Conservative Party Positions
on 2013 Statewide Ballot Questions
PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE, AN AMENDMENT TO AUTHORIZE CASINO GAMING
The
Conservative Party recommends a NO vote on Proposal Number One.
Authorizing Casino Gaming
The proposed amendment to
section 9 of article 1 of the Constitution would allow the Legislature to
authorize up to seven casinos in New York State for the legislated purposes of
promoting job growth, increasing aid to schools, and permitting local
governments to lower property taxes through revenues generated. Shall the
amendment be approved?
The Conservative Party of New
York State, since its inception in 1962, has promoted job growth through lower
taxes, encouraged localities to lower taxes and believe that schools should
provide a solid education for our youth. The Conservative Party has been
consistent in its Legislative Program calling for the need to reduce taxes and
promote job growth and has stressed if we fail to provide jobs and remain a
high tax state, we will lose our citizens to states with less taxes. The
proposed amendment, while it paints a rosy picture, will not accomplish the
stated goal. Casino Gambling will produce new problems as evidenced in the
areas where casinos are currently located. In 1966, the Legislature told New
York citizens, if they approved the Lottery, their school taxes would be
reduced. Every year school taxes go up, despite the millions people spend on
lottery tickets. It is time to close the money spigot that gives the
legislature more money to spend.
PROPOSAL NUMBER TWO, AN AMENDMENT TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL SERVICE CREDITS TO DISABLED VETERANS
The
Conservative Party recommends a YES vote on Proposal Number Two.
Additional Civil Service Credit
for Veterans with Disabilities Certified Post-Appointment
The proposed amendment to
section 6 of article 5 of the Constitution would entitle a veteran who has
received civil service credit for a civil service appointment or promotion and
subsequently is certified as disabled to additional civil service credit at a
subsequent appointment or promotion. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?
The Conservative Party of New
York State holds our disabled veterans in the highest regard and is cognizant
of the sacrifices made in the name of freedom for their fellow citizens.
PROPOSAL NUMBER THREE, AN AMENDMENT TO EXCLUDE CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
The
Conservative Party recommends a NO vote on Proposal Number Three.
Exclusion of Indebtedness
Contracted for Sewage Facilities
The proposed amendment to
Article 8, section 5 of the Constitution would extend for ten years, until
January 1, 2024, the authority of counties, cities, towns, and villages to
exclude from their constitutional debt limits indebtedness contracted for the
construction or reconstruction of sewage facilities. Shall the proposed
amendment be approved?
This proposal first went into
effect on January 1, 1962 and has been renewed repeatedly since then. The
Conservative Party does not approve of government entities separating out
certain debts from their constitutional debt limit as it does not give a true picture
to its citizens as to the total indebtedness of the locality, therefore we
cannot support this proposal.
PROPOSAL NUMBER FOUR, AN AMENDMENT TO SETTLE DISPUTED TITLE
IN FOREST PRESERVE
The
Conservative Party recommends a YES vote on Proposal Number Four.
Settling Disputed Title in the
Forest Preserve
The proposed amendment to
section 1 of article 14 of the Constitution would authorize the Legislature to
settle longstanding disputes between the State and private entities over
ownership of certain parcels of land in the town of Long Lake, Hamilton County.
In exchange for giving up its claim to disputed parcels, the State would get
land to be incorporated into the forest preserve that would benefit the forest
preserve more than the disputed parcels currently do. Shall the proposed
amendment be approved?
The State Constitution
generally forbids the lease, sale, exchange, or taking of any forest preserve
land. The proposed amendment would allow the Legislature to settle 100-year-old
disputes between the State and private parties over ownership of certain
parcels of land in the forest preserve by giving up the State's claim to
disputed parcels. In exchange, the State would get land to be incorporated into
the forest preserve. The land exchange would occur only if the Legislature
determines that the land to be conveyed to the State would benefit the forest
preserve more than the disputed parcels do.
PROPOSAL NUMBER FIVE, AN AMENDMENT TO EXCHANGE LAND
TO NYCO MINERALS, INC.
The
Conservative Party recommends a YES vote on Proposal Number Five.
In Relation to a Land Exchange
in the State Forest Preserve with NYCO Minerals, Inc.
The proposed amendment to
section 1 of article 14 of the Constitution would authorize the Legislature to
convey forest preserve land located in the town of Lewis, Essex County, to NYCO
Minerals, a private company that plans on expanding an existing mine that
adjoins the forest preserve land. In exchange, NYCO Minerals would give the
State at least the same amount of land of at least the same value, with a
minimum assessed value of $1 million, to be added to the forest preserve. When
NYCO Minerals finishes mining, it would restore the condition of the land and
return it to the forest preserve. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?
As with proposal number four,
the State Constitution generally forbids the lease, sale, exchange, or taking
of any forest preserve land. NYCO Minerals is a producer of wollastonite, a
mineral that has industrial importance worldwide. In the United States,
wollastonite is mined in Willsboro, New York and Gouverneur, New York. This
proposed amendment would allow NYCO Minerals to expand and explore for the
mineral, keep people employed and still protect the forest preserve.
The
Conservative Party recommends a NO vote on Proposal Number Six.
Increasing the Age until which
Certain State Judges Can Serve
The proposed amendment to the
Constitution, amending sections 2 and 25 of article 6, would increase the
maximum age until which certain state judges may serve as follows: (a) a
Justice of the Supreme Court would be eligible for five additional two-year
terms after the present retirement age of 70, instead of the three such terms
currently authorized; and (b) a Judge of the Court of Appeals who reaches the
age of 70 while in office would be permitted to remain in service on the Court
for up to 10 years beyond the present retirement age of 70 in order to complete
the term to which that Judge was appointed. Shall the proposed amendment be
approved?
(Additional information on
other side)
Currently
a Justice of the Supreme Court is eligible for three additional two-year terms
after the present retirement age of 70, this proposal would allow them to serve
an additional 4 years while also allowing a Judge on the Court of Appeals to
remain in service for up to 10 additional years. The Conservative Party
acknowledges that citizens are living longer and healthier lives; however,
there is no imperative need to keep judges on the bench for extended terms
while electing new Supreme Court Judges. A Court of Appeals Judge is appointed
and we strongly believe the citizens should elect all judges and be responsible
to the citizens, therefore we reject extended the term of the Members of the
Court of Appeals.
