#NetNeutrality and John Adams!

Just what does Net Neutrality and President John Adams have in common?  The measure to turn the internet into a public utility today in a vote by the FCC by a 3-2 vote has 1 key thing in common with the Alien and Sedition acts of John Adam's day.  That is now the FCC will have the say so to start cracking down on users of the internet that are not friendly toward the continuously anarchic Administration under President Obama.  So when you see this blog disappear, your favorite blog, podcast, radio show disappear, you will know that it was due to Net Neutrality.  

#JoeyLogano wins #Daytona500

Joey Logano #22 wins his first Daytona 500 today on a green white checkered attempt that ended when #3 gets into the rear of #24 Jeff Gordon causing a chain reaction crash causing NASCAR to (IN MY HUMBLE OPINION) Inappropriately throw the caution flag on a 2.5 mile track ending the race instead of allowing the front runners shoot it out til the finish line!

My Analysis of the #EKU Bathroom Stall Threat and Response

     "BRINGING GUNS TO HERE 2-11-15 DEAD STUDENTS"  This was the threat written on a bathroom stall in a building on EKU's Campus in Richmond, KY. last week.  Every day since has been one great disappointment after the other.  The handling of this threat from day one has been over blown, and not conducive to ensuring the safety of being on campus.  After a few days, it was announced by EKU President Benson that any student, faculty, staff that did not feel safe coming to campus on 2/11/15 could simply stay off campus.  This has resulted in canceled classes by professors and low attendance in classes.  This has also resulted in giving the deviant writer of the threat everything they wanted.  Fear, disruption, attention, all of these were handed over on a silver platter by inept leadership that were more likely concerned about the liability of not reacting enough more than actually calming fears and ensuring safety.  During this week, I have witnessed at least 5 different police agencies patrolling campus on foot and in their cruisers.  Just what did they think was actually going to be accomplished by being out in plain sight?  Apparently the threat wasn't credible enough for them to be out and about undercover.  What perhaps is more insulting is the declaration that EKU didnt want individuals to provide protection for themselves.  They claim that by doing so while being well meaning would hinder their investigation and ability to provide safety on campus.  Of course when leadership doesn't have to be financially responsible for their decisions, it is far too easy of them to not spare any expense to get what they want.  It seems that not only do President Benson and President Obama share a 400,000 dollar salary, they also share a similar approach to those who would make threats.

     In conclusion, it is a pipe dream for anyone to seriously expect anyone else to provide for your complete protection and well being when you go out into public.  Personal Safety is your own responsibility.  The Police have no legal requirement to put themselves in harms way to protect you.  They are Law Enforcement Officers, not your personal security guards.  Liberals all the time complain about the number of school shootings.  Yet they offer nothing but propositions that have only encouraged the potential victimization of those who have to spend time in that environment.  "Gun Free Zones" have yet to have stopped any shooting.  Its a simple psychology, criminals will most likely act against those that they know will be defenseless when given the choice versus not knowing or knowing that they are armed.

OH and no assassin has been found yet today on campus!

#EKU "Threat Mode" 3:10PM Update

#EKU Campus "Threat Mode" 1030 AM Update 2/11/15

A Rational Student's View of #EKU's Over Reaction to Shooting Threat

     As stated in a previous post, I am what is considered on EKU's campus as an OWL or older, wiser, learner.  I am a non traditional student pursuing my Bachelors Degree.  Being an OWL and a believer of the Conservative/Libertarian political ideology or "Conservatarian" if you will has me looking at this entire threat that is supposed to come to fruition on EKU's campus in Richmond, KY. from a mature, rational, realistic point of view.  For those that do not know, the following was written in big letters on a bathroom stall in the Combs building on campus last week.  "BRINGING GUNS TO HERE 2/11/15 DEAD STUDENTS.  While it is not your typical graffiti garbage that you would find or even the occasional threat written on the walls of a bathroom stall, it is a vague threat.  

     To understand where I am about to go with this, we have to understand the psychological make up of the USA right after 9/11.  We were angry, scared, and blood thirsty for revenge.  We were so blinded by ambition that we lost sight on what actually took place.  It wasn't just hijacked planes that crashed into the World Trade Center Towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.  It was a direct attack on our senses.  Our sense of security, destroyed.  We seemed to have lost that day the notion that we were too big and powerful to be attacked.  But perhaps what damaged us more so than the physical terror attack, than the amount of lives lost, than the financial repercussions of losing the World Trade Center, was how we far too easily gave up our constitutional rights, our freedoms, our liberties.  We fell for one of the oldest political tricks in the book.  We allowed something called "The Patriot Act" to be passed and thought this was going to help us reclaim our security and punish those who attacked us.  But 13 years later, all we have as a result is more debt, more infringements of our liberty and freedom.  We then took a direct hit again when the federal government established the Department of Homeland Security.  Again, we fell for the oldest political trick in the book.  We allowed congress to pass liberty robbing debt accumulating legislation all packaged up with a name that couldn't possibly be debated in the realm of political correctness.  The very attempt would draw sharp criticism in the media, 'How could you possibly be against Homeland Security' just as 'How could you possibly be against "The Patriot Act."  If that wasn't enough, we were then subjected to the creation of the TSA.  This unconstitutional arm of the federal government took over airport security. The TSA introduced to the mainstream the notion that you must be willing to be physically fondled by federal employees in order to prove that you are an innocent civilian merely looking to fly to see Grandma before she dies.  Even little boys and girls and Grandpa's in wheelchairs were not immune to being fondled in a manner that if you or I did that to someone on the street would be cause for us to be thrown in jail for sex crimes and be outcasts of society for the rest of our lives.

     What am I driving at?  Simply this, we must NEVER sacrifice one ounce of liberty for any amount of promised security from government.  Yet even to attend classes on campus during a regular day requires that I sacrifice one very BIG Constitutional right.  That is my Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.  In the Commonwealth of Kentucky, I am permitted by license to conceal carry deadly weapons including of course firearms.  However EKU and other education institutions have decided that they do not want people exercising that particular freedom on campus.  To illustrate how delusional this is, EKU is one of the biggest training facilities in the state for training Law Enforcement Officers.  Also EKU is lucky to have a Kentucky State National Guard facility near by which encourages those seeking ROTC programs to attend EKU.  I often see these fine men and women walking campus in full uniforms.  You cannot possibly tell me that our campus would not be safer if we allowed these people to conceal carry on campus.  One of the biggest reasons in my humblest of opinions and already have been echoed by more than one professor on campus is that this threat is the product of a dense unarmed population as a result of EKU's Weapons policy.  The simple psychology is this, criminals or those seeking to commit a crime, especially for the first time will ALWAYS choose a victim they know is unarmed over one that they either know or don't know to be armed.

     Tomorrow is the 11th which will mark the day set by the deviant who wrote that threat.  Some professors have already called off their classes for tomorrow.  Students have expressed that they will not be on campus at all or at the least be staying in their dorms all day tomorrow.  This was not spurred by the threat.  This was spurred by EKU's President Benson who publicly announced that any student, staff, faculty that did not feel safe coming on to campus on the 11th could stay away without any consequences.  Not only does President Benson make as much if not more than the President of the United States, but with that declaration shared President Obama's affinity for giving in to the enemy, to give in to terror threats.  This will no doubt be repeated by the next deviant who seeks to bring a new wave of fear and a free day off once this even subsides.  Please stay tuned to this blog and make sure to follow me on Twitter @ IrvinePatriot for live updates as I will be on campus tomorrow and documenting any instances where I see constitutional rights violations above and beyond what normally takes place on this campus.  Oh and one more thing, I AM NOT AFRAID, I AM NOT SCARED, I DO NOT GIVE IN TO THREATS!

To #Vaccinate or not to Vaccinate? STOP FREAKING OUT! #measlesoutbreak

As the number of measles cases continued to originate from Southern California, Facebook and Twitter blew up with people from all political ideologies going right to blaming "anti-vaccine" people.  These are people that have chosen to either not vaccinate themselves or their children.  People are saying that those who choose not to vaccinate are choosing to put others at risk.  This is a completely dumbfounded statement when you look at the nature of what is being discussed.  Lets think about it for a moment.  Most likely if you are someone that is upset over "anti-vaccine" people, then you are going to be vaccinated.  If you are vaccinated and believe that they should be forced on other people or otherwise shamed for not getting vaccinated, then what are you really worried about?  YOU ARE VACCINATED! I swear, its like vaccines have become the new race topic.  "How dare you say anything but great things about vaccines" or "How dare you not get vaccinated, what are you anti-science?" 

Has anyone considered that the reason measles even made any sort of comeback in the last week and change is because of Illegal Immigration from our porous southern border?  These people are often unhealthy, unsanitary, and dont come with any documentation to of their health. 

Vaccinations by far and large are a great medical breakthrough of the last 100 years.  But vaccines are just PART of why diseases like Polio basically became extinct in industrious nations.  Sanitation standards whether it be part of the work place, hospitals, home, even our own bodies have changed dramatically over the last century.  Medicine and Doctor understanding of diseases and treatments have advanced dramatically as well.

However, one thing has not changed and that is where diseases are likely to be found.  Where ever there are high concentrations of people living in close quarters is where you will most likely find communicable diseases.  That was the truth 100 years ago and that is where you can still find it today.  Diseases like TB for example are always a risk where you find unsanitary, unhealthy, and cramped living conditions. 

As an EMT-B of three years, I worked in close quarters with patients that had various diseases and illnesses that could easily be spread through air contact or direct contact with bodily fluids.  Thank goodness I also had standards and protocols that called for me to wear Body Substance Isolation gear such as gloves, protective gown, N95 facemask, eye goggles, even SCBA when appropriate.  These protective measures kept me from contracting many diseases from patients that I cared for during transport.

The point I hope you are getting is that I think Vaccinations are great.... But they simply are not the only sure fire cure all means of protecting yourself from diseases.  Simple practices like covering your nose and mouth when you sneeze/cough, washing your hands before eating, after using the restroom, after handling money or other items commonly handled by people, bathing daily, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, staying away from crowded areas/work/school if you are ill and running a fever, using common sense will go a long way in keeping you from contracting diseases.  Vaccinations should be strictly discussed and decided upon by YOU and YOUR Doctor.  Vaccinations should NOT EVER be Mandated by the Government.
