I am very excited to announce that I have taken activism on the road in conjunction with We Won’t Fly and Occupy Philadelphia to bring the Philly Liberty Lobby to the city of brotherly love.
We will begin on Friday with a Don’t Strip Our Rights event at 5PM at the Philadelphia airport! You can learn more and/or join the event here on Facebook. Nicholas Voluntaryist Shankin and I will be will be engaging in scantily-clad public outreach to address the violations of natural rights committed daily by the TSA.
Then, we shall begin work on #OperationFeedTheHomeless.
Here in Philadelphia, there is a city proposal on the table that would require people to obtain a permit before feeding the hungry outdoors. #OperationFeedTheHomeless is an effort to bring this issue to light through non-compliance while at the same time helping those in need. We hope to feed hundreds of people in need throughout next week at a city council meeting (date TBA) as well as at various other events in Philadelphia.

Under current law, attorneys must be members of the N.H. Bar Association, which requires them to serve the court first before a client or the law, which is a conflict of interest. HB 1474 would allow attorneys to opt-out of their membership in the BAR, and thus serve their clients and justice without regard for the requirements of the BAR or the Court system. Such a change would likely improve the BAR, as it would have to make changes to keep and attract attorneys as members.
Please e-mail HouseRepublicans@leg.state.nh.us and ask House Republicans to support the committee’s OTP recommendation on HB 1474.
I attempt to take conversations to their logical conclusions. If Person A makes an absolutist statement it in the least leaves ample room for questions posited as “devils advocate” and likely brings to light questions never before considered, that upon further scrutiny, causes Person A themselves to admit that flaws exist in their argument.
Over the past week when conversing with Keene police employees about their stance on the possible acquisition of a BEARCAT armored vehicle, some noted that “it’s free” – essentially saying that since it is to be provided via a federal Dept. of Homeland Security grant it’d be erroneous to turn it down.
Overlooking the fact that the federal government (like government at any level) must first steal or print what they spend, my immediate follow-up to such it’s-free-so-why-not-take-it statements is to question the point at which they’d say “no thanks.”
What would Keene “authorities” do if they were offered other military hardware, such as a drone? Sound far-fetched? Not so. Fortunately, as the story below demonstrates, at least some comic relief can be had from this escalation of the police state thanks to the rampant be-afraid-of-everything mindset peddled since 9/11 (hey – any excuse to grow the size and scope of the State, right?)
For those of you who read the blog earlier today, I posted a video with text containing a critical error, and I intend to redress it. It errantly read, “David R. Meader voted for the BearCat” when in fact he voted against it. I’m sorry David. I’ll be making another video which I hope will make up for my mistake. I’m sorry readers. I’ll be more careful to review my posts in the future.
Tonight, the People have reported hearing folks have conversations against the BEARCAT over dinner at local restaurants. This morning I heard one at Timoleon’s, where an older gentleman said to another at the counter, something like, “Looks like they’re going to shove the BEARCAT down our throats”.
