Justice

Justice is subjective; there are no moral universals (get real realism). Some say kill the killer, which is only eye for eye, derived from Old Testament law, in spite of Jesus; morality of divine command is open to interpretation. "Justice" found by legislative or judicial decree represents naught me! Legislators and their assorted governmental agencies say marijuana is "evil", while I say the Lord calls the green herb good. Presidents go to war utilizing portions of "just war theory"; I call them murderers just the same. The government says "thou shalt not steal", as they take half my check without my consent . . .

"Justice" is about who has the most money or lawyers who have grown quite accustomed to speaking with forked tongues!

Government Doublespeak

The following is simply too good to pass up, here is a copy and past courtesy of Laurence M. Vance:

In George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the government had three slogans emblazoned on The Ministry of Truth building: war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. True, the dystopian society depicted by Orwell existed only in his mind. Yet, the doublespeak that existed in that made-up society has increasingly been adopted by governments – our government.

It is a tragic thing that the U.S. government employs doublespeak to deceive the American people; it is even more tragic that most Americans accept government doublespeak as the gospel truth.

There is no greater instance of government doublespeak than when it comes to the military. Here are some examples:

* Serving in the military: getting money for college from the taxpayers.
* Deploying to Iraq or Afghanistan: occupying a sovereign country.
* The global war on terrorism: a cash machine for privileged government contractors.
* Conscription: slavery.
* Stop-loss policy: backdoor draft.
* Dress blues: government-issued costume.
* Troop surge: escalation of a war we are losing.
* Flying sorties: bombing civilians and their property.
* Stationed overseas: helping to maintain the U.S. global empire of troops and bases.
* Enhanced interrogation techniques: torture by the United States.
* Extraordinary rendition: U.S. sanctioned torture by other countries.
* Fighting terrorism: making terrorists.
* Fighting our enemies: making more enemies.
* Defending our freedoms: destroying our freedoms.
* Insurgents: foreigners who resent having their country invaded or occupied.
* Sanctions: killing children without bombs and bullets.
* Military chaplain: trying to serve two masters.
* Military appreciation service: idolatry.
* Praying "God bless our troops": blasphemy.
* Supporting the troops: supporting foreign invasions and occupations.
* Precision bombing: civilian killer.
* Cluster bomb: child civilian killer.
* Land mine: American IED.
* Terrorist: someone who plants a bomb that doesn’t wear an Air Force uniform.
* Enemies of the United States: countries that oppose U.S. hegemony.
* Enemy combatant: someone turned over to U.S. troops in Afghanistan by someone eager to collect a bounty.
* Axis of evil: countries with oppressive governments that our oppressive government doesn’t like.
* Allies: countries with oppressive governments that our oppressive government likes.
* Anti-Semite: someone who opposes U.S. military intervention in the Middle East.
* Military recruiter: pimp for duped young men who want to sell their services to the government.
* Bomber pilot: long-distance killer.
* Persistent conflict: perpetual warfare.
* U.S. interests: an excuse to police the world.
* U.S. foreign policy: imperialism.
* National security: national police state.
* Collateral damage: the slaughter of unarmed civilians by American bullets and bombs.
* Die for our freedoms: die for a lie.
* War hawk: warmonger.
* Regime change: meddling in the affairs of other countries.
* Congressional supporters of large military budgets: pimps to hook up government and defense contractors.
* Military spokesman: military propagandist.
* Commander in chief: the chief war criminal.

I’m sure there are other words and terms that have been or will be devised or brought to bear to justify the actions of the U.S. military. Reject them, and denounce them for what they are: military doublespeak. [End of quote].

The Green Revolution

Spokanites, rise up to the occasion my fellow God-fearing, freedom-loving, unjust big government hating fellow Americans, and just say no to governmental "social engineers" who strive to make us abide by their corporate-lobbyist informed notions of "right" & "wrong"! We must fight for our freedom to pursue our happiness; we harm not our fellow man, and yet "the man" throws us into their prisons and steals our property and land! Enough! Remember Breckenridge (CO)! The feds say, "no, marijuana is pure evil" (but we have the patent on it by the way), while WA state says, "yes, the green is good for some" . . .: fie upon their incompetent "justice"! Let freedom ring Spokane and outright decriminalize the green! Let us show this nation once more that freedom cannot forever be unjustly constrained, and let the tyranny of tyrants be washed away not with blood but with the beauty of God's green bud! Yeah baby, the green revolution is upon us! Amen.
