“I Know My Rights!”

In my last post, I wrote about being on trial, as a defendant, for First Amendment issues. A lawsuit was brought against me by the owner of a string of adult stores on claims that were beyond ridiculous. These claims (surrounding peaceful assembly) all had to do with my rights granted me from the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.
On the morning of Monday, January 12, I appeared in Federal court with my co-defendants, expecting to select a jury and begin this epic trial between good and evil. Instead, what happened was fairly lackluster. The plaintiff counsel called a meeting with our defense counsel and told them, “We don’t have a case.” Essentially, they caved. It was over before it started. All of us involved knew that they never had a case, we just wish it wouldn’t have burdened us for the past 3.5 years; costing us time, money, and being a royal pain in the rear. But, in the end, a victory is a victory and we were happy to stand for the truth, for justice, and for goodness.
The First Amendment rights that you and I (hopefully) appreciate, were upheld. The right to peacefully assemble, the right to free speech, and the right to freedom of religion. Now, in this case, some people have brought up the question about the adult store’s “rights” to perform free commerce and their “rights” to free speech and free press in terms of pornography. Heck, it was even written in their language in the original lawsuit documents! Make it known… the business owner who sued me is engaged in illegal activity, and his business practices are NOT protected by the First Amendment. What?!
You read that correctly… the activity taking place in that store (and MANY others like it all across the country) are engaged in illegal activity. This business, in particular, is guilty of at least two counts: 1. The distribution of hardcore pornography. (A felony in the United States of America.) and 2. The operation of pornography viewing booths. With #1, I bet you didn’t know that the production and distribution of hardcore pornography was against the law! Yep, it sure is. (Here’s the proof.) But why is there so much of it being produced and distributed? BECAUSE THE LAW ISN’T BEING UPHELD! And viewing booths lead to illegal and illicit behaviors and have been outlawed in many states, including the one I was sued in. Without getting into specific details here, we have evidence to believe that there were not only drugs being sold and consumed within these booths, but also lewd and heinous (hetero and homo) sexual acts were taking place, including prostitution. Isn’t it ironic that the criminal enterprise that brought suit against us was (is) involved in much more damaging and negative activity than they claimed we were!
So here’s how this thing ends:
The lawsuit was filed — we went round and round with the courts and their proceedings — we spent time and money — our lives were negatively affected for 3.5 years — and so on. What now? Do we step away from this fight because we were sued once? No! Whether it’s peaceful protest outside of a pornography shop, standing with love outside of an abortion mill, or writing blog posts that expose corrupt and illegal behavior, we mustn’t stop standing up for our rights. Rights give us freedom FOR things, not freedom from things. We have these rights so that we can be free for goodness and honesty, for clean communities, for wholesome businesses with wholesome practices, and free for giving and receiving love. That’s what it’s all about.

A Priest, A Rabbi, and a Lawyer – Civil Liberties Under (Blatant) Attack
Here’s a pretty good video about the HHS “Healthcare” Mandate. If you haven’t seen the previous post from Archbishop Dolan, please click HERE to watch that video and read that post first, then watch this video.
They fail, in my opinion, to really distinguish one of the biggest problems here. Yes, the cover the civil liberty assault well, and
certainly the Rabbi spoke well about this not being a Catholic-only issue, and so forth. However, what they fail to mention is that there is a fundamental difference between what the Catholic Church teaches on contraception, sterilization and abortion versus the idea of “women’s health.” No matter how it is spun, even by medical doctors (OB/GYNs at the forefront), contraception, sterilization, and abortion ARE not healthcare… they hurt women and kill babies.
For those in favor of this mandate, they state issues about, as the press secretary did over and over in his press conference, “increasing access to these important preventative services.” This is their attempt at watering down the mandate so that it seems as though it won’t really effect that many people. This is a lie and is a blatant one at that.
Men – as you see this Priest, Rabbi, and Lawyer doing, you must also do. You must stand against the attacks that are befalling our country, our communities, our women and children, and our Church. This must end.

Self Evident Truths
Representative James Lankford from Oklahoma, just last week, proved to be a great man of virtue, a TrueMan. He successfully stood and presented an absolutely dynamic oratorical argument to the right to life for all humans. For it is self evident, as he and the founding fathers stated, that all humans have these unalienable rights.
His courage to stand and speak these truths, even in the House of Representatives where we all know truth is not something they hold to hard and fast, is a great example. Although most of us will never have the chance to stand and speak in this sort of forum, we do have the chance to stand and speak in the small situations. When confronted with the issue of abortion, we, as men, must stand and defend those without a voice.
Good on you, Mr. Lankford.
GE Knows What’s Really Going On
Although the technology of a 4-Dimensional Ultrasound isn’t brand new, it’s relatively cutting-edge. I’ve seen a 4D ultrasound of my own children, it’s incredible. You can see facial features and expressions, you can make out every movement and can see the chest expanding as the lungs take in oxygen from the mother. In the discussion of embryo, zygote, fetus, blob, tissue mass, etc. this technology should end the discussion as to what’s in a woman’s womb. It’s a human being.
It’s plain to see that even a secular company like General Electric knows that a baby inside its mother’s womb is a living, breathing, moving, (did I mention living?) human being… and still, the laws in America allow for the murder of that child. It’s ridiculous to think that we have technology like this (as if common sense wasn’t enough) but still allow someone the ‘choice’ to murder their own child. Absolutely ridiculous.

Men, sometimes abortion is portrayed as a woman’s-only issue. Not true. As always, we are called to provide and protect, which must start with the defense of the defenseless. The unborn need men to step up and fight for their rights, their well-being and their life. If you need ideas of how you can help, please email us directly at Info@TrueManhood.com.
