Don't Fall For It

One of the oldest scams the Democrats use to con Republicans into tax increases is to promise SPENDING CUTS “some time in the future.” But he future spending cuts never come. This scam was used on Ronald Reagan and George Bush (the senior) that I know of, and it cost Bush re-election. It also gave the Democrats the right to say Reagan raised taxes, too. I don’t know how many times it was used on Bush the younger, but they spent a lot of money and raised taxes a LOT during his administration. It’s like the old “Peanuts” strip where Lucy cons Charlie Brown into kicking the ball, then pulls it away as he kicked it, causing him to fall down. They pull it time after time and politicians on both sides fall for it, almost by rote. They’re trying it right now on the Republicans—and the Republicans are showing signs of falling for it again. (Just common sense)

I'm Gonna Say It Again

 And again and again until it sinks into the feeble minds of all those FOOLS who blame the GUN when some ignorant FOOL takes a gun and kills a bunch of innocent people they find in bunches. We need more people in those groups with “carry permits.” People these “shooters” don’t know are there, who can shoot them before they can kill more than one or two people. Getting rid of guns isn’t going to solve the problem. Guns EXIST. You can’t “uninvent” them. “Bad guys” will ALWAYS be able to get their guns while people who OBEY laws won’t. If Frank DeAngelis, principal at Columbine High School, had had a gun when he “looked around a corner and watched one of the shooters killing people” he could have “put a couple in the head of the shooter” and ended at least that one shooter’s “kill score,” then go after, and kill the other. As it was, all he could do was “hide and watch” as the shooter murdered students and teachers. One of these days we MIGHT find a COMPETENT politician who will realize this and put a stop to “no gun zones,” which are “open invitations” to shooters who want to spray bullets into crowds of people. (Just common sense)

Fool Logic

The very LOGIC used by liberals is foolish. They insist “The rich” (PRODUCERS) stole their riches “from the poor.” How STUPID is that? The poor have nothing to STEAL! But they don’t expect you to notice that. They think we’re as stupid as they are. Their logic is just as silly in everything they want us to believe. And many of us actually ARE that stupid. This is because they pay no attention to politics, preferring to spend their time on football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and their many other pursuits instead of keeping track of what their crooked politicians are doing to them. Meanwhile their politicians are conning them out of their socks and removing right after right as quickly as they can, and they don't even notice. (Just common sense)

"Gun-Free Zones"

Except for those carried by criminals and crazies wanting to shoot everybody in sight, that is. People who obey laws obey gun laws. Criminals don’t. The other day, such a fool murdered 20 CHILDREN, some as young as 5. the day before another killed at least two people in another shopping center shooting. The news media went “wall-to-wall with it. In Denver, at least one radio station spent the entire DAY into the night talking about it. I’m sure this happened all over the country, maybe even the world. And they should, because somebody killing a bunch of CHILDREN is a real tragedy. What did these two shootings gave in common? They were both “gun-free zones.” But what about that shooting last year in a GUN SHOP where the guy shot a clerk and was instantly made into “Swiss cheese” by the rest of the clerks, including the one he shot? It was a news item for a few hours and then “sank like a stone.” Except for the Indianapolis media, nobody was interested in the story. Why? Because the victim was armed and able to defend himself. Even the “anti-gun crazies” shut up about it because this kind of story, where the victim was armed, just didn’t fit their narrative. I’ve always noticed that such shootings didn’t happen at gun shows or anywhere else where everybody was armed, and for a good reason. In “gun-free zones” like schools and the like, they might as well put up a sign saying, “No guns here. We’re defenseless. Come on in and shoot us.”

Yes, such shootings are bad. But trying to eliminate guns to stop them is illogical and STUPID. The GUN didn’t kill these people. The man HOLDING the gun did. If he couldn’t get a gun (doubtful) he’d find something else to use in killing innocent people. Anybody who BELIEVES that a CRIMINAL, who violates the law for a LIVING, will OBEY a law saying he can’t be armed is STUPID. And that includes all those stupid politicians who think so, including our illustrious president . I’m getting very tired of repeating this and having it fall on deaf ears while more and more people DIE because of this rampant STUPIDITY. I’m still waiting for our incompetent politicians to WAKE UP and realize that the ONLY WAY to eliminate such atrocities is to allow as many GOOD people as possible to be armed, including in those ubiquitous “gun-free zones” for self defense so the crazies and criminals won’t be FREE to kill innocent people. It is a PROVEN FACT that where there are MORE GUNS in the hands of innocent people, violent crime goes DOWN. In Florida, where getting a carry permit is easy, the violent crime rate has PREDICTABLY gone DOWN wile the deaths and injuries to armed CRIMINALS has gone UP. In Israel, where EVERYBODY is armed (even school teachers) there ARE no mass shootings. There cannot be more OBVIOUS evidence this is true. But our anti-gun politicians are blissfully IGNORANT of this fact. They’re PURPOSELY ignorant of facts that do not advance their narrative. (Mail.com)

"Let's Deal With Spending Later"

That’s such a common old con I’m surprised politicians still fall for it. Even Reagan fell for it; Both Bushes fell for it. Their FRIEND Clinton fell for it (maybe on purpose). Or should I say their CONGRESSES fell for it. It’s like Lucy and Charlie Brown and the football. Every year she cons him into kicking the football while she pulls it away at the last second, causing him to fall down. It’s a good running gag, but not so good when the government uses it to fool the other side into doing what THEY want them to do. So we allow some raises in taxes, hoping the Damnocrats will agree to lowering spending later. But “later” never comes. They laugh at us for even suggesting it. They think it’s FUNNY that we keep falling for that old scam over and over again. Now they’re trying it again, but this time it’s the PRESIDENT who is making the offer, hoping the Republicans will “fall for it” and they can raise taxes while blaming the Republicans. (Just common sense)

We're Being Ruled By Morons

That’s what Rush Limbaugh says, and he’s right. The morons who are “ruling” us now mostly think collectivism (socialism) is the way we should go, and they’re wrong (but you'll never convince them of that). Socialism, in its many forms, (communism, socialism, Fascism, Naziism, Progressivism) has failed each time it has been tried, eventually. Those that still exist are dependent on the others loaning them money from what they have left. They DEPEND on the earnings of the free market to give them money to steal and soon run out of “other people’s money” and collapse. If Obama succeeds in making this country into a socialist state, it, too, will fail when the world runs out of “other people’s money.” We are the LAST great free market and when we succumb to the socialist swindle, there will be nowhere for them to go to steal the money they need to keep going. (Just common sense)

Some People Should Die

Others don’t even deserve to have ever LIVED. One such is the man who murdered his own SISTER (after murdering his own grandmother and spending time in prison for it), then set his own house on fire to lure UNPAID firemen (who only do good, and don’t even get paid for it) to his home so he could kill them. The only reason he only killed TWO of ythese “good Samaritans” is that an off-duty policeman showed up and stopped him, making him commit suicide. The liberal media didn’t report that, because it doesn’t fit into their anti-gun narrative. Others are Islamic terrorists, who only LIVE to KILL people who don’t believe exactly as they do; another is the shooter who murdered 20 innocent CHILDREN who has never done him any harm, and all the other shooters who lately have PROVEN to me that we need to not only have the RIGHT to keep a gun and carry it without restriction for our own protection, it needs to happen, NOW. The “anti-gun fanatics” decry that, saying, “Who should we allow everybody to be armed? That would just create a “wild West atmosphere” where more people will be killed.” Not so! And a stupid statement, at best, because it’s a proven fact that where “gun laws” are the tightest, the easier guns are to get illegally.

Anybody who WANTS a gun, for good or evil, can get one easily, NOW. And it’s much better for responsible people to be armed, so as to defend themselves and make illegally armed criminals DEAD. Robert Heinlein said, “An armed society is a polite society” and the “wile west” proved it. Bad guys who misused their guns were soon DEAD, making gun misuse a disappearing problem. Yes, there would eventually be some gun killings—in self-defense more than for any other reason. And that’s a GOOD thing, for it quickly thins the ranks of ILLEGALLY-armed criminals. Some people are only still alive because it is ILLEGAL to kill them. Some of those people are the liberal media who consistently MIS-report, or do not at all report stories that would tend to prove their anti-gun rhetoric false. But even if I DID have a gun “legally,” I wouldn’t kill such people because it is ILLEGAL to kill them and I am a responsible human being. The kind of person they don’t understand. They think if people were allowed to carry their own guns, that people would be shooting each other with wild abandon, all over the place. And they’re WRONG. Responsible people don’t do that and they don't understand that.

These people are FOOLS and shouldn’t be allowed to be in a position to REPORT the news. But we have a First Amendment, which is just as important as the Second, which they’re trying their best to eliminate. Frankly, if they EVER get rid of the Second Amendment, they should do likewise with the First, at the same time, because the First made it POSSIBLE to get rid of the Second. When you talk about getting rid of the First, they whine about it, all the while trying to get rid of the Second. The fact is, the Second Amendment is there ONLY so we can defend ourselves from IRRESPONSIBLE people who do not OBEY any laws, let alone ones that say they can’t be armed while they commit their crimes. It’s not there for hunters, though it DOES protect them, as well. The “toothpaste is out of the tube.” Guns EXIST. They cannot be “uninvented.” So we have to DEAL with them logically. Making laws against them is NOT logical. It not only does not work, it causes more people to be KILLED by those unscrupulous criminals who will ALWAYS be able to get them ILLEGALLY. (Just common sense)

Coulter: "Tax Rich LIBERALS"

And she’s right. Rich liberals aren’t the “job creators” of this society. They’ve mostly already MADE (or inherited) their money and are not affected by Obama’s “tax the rich” swindle. So what we need to do is start taxing rich liberals! There would soon be a bigger holler about that than there has ever been about anything else. Unfortunately, that’s taxing the same money more than once. Oh; I forgot. They already DO that to everybody. I’ve never made a dime that wasn’t taxed at least six times on several levels. But never on money I HAVE, not money I’ve MADE. The already rich liberals don’t care if those who are still EARNING their money are taxed at a higher rate. They will benefit the most from socialism, which will PREVENT people from becoming rich. (Ann Coulter)

Beating It to Death

I know the mass shooting in Connecticut is a major tragedy, having ended so many lives, particularly of those small children who can’t have done ANYTHING to have hurt the shooter. But, as with the Columbine shooting and all the others, the news media “beats it to death” until we are TIRED of hearing about every belch uttered by ANYBODY that has ANY connection to the shootings. Three days after the Connecticut shooting (as this is written), I STILL can’t avoid more and more stories about really tiny things connected with it on every station I turn to. It’s disgusting. It’s as if there isn’t any other news in the world. Some of those shooters do it for the notoriety involved, and the fact that the media "beats it to death" makes them very happy. It's now Christmas day and there have been several more mass shootings since, including the one in New York, where a guy set a house on fire to draw firemen, then opened fire on them, killing two, before he killed himself and most likely his own sister, as well. I don't know who he is, and I don't care. On that somber note, I want to wish everybody a MERRY CHRISTMAS! None of that "Happy Holidays" crap here. Any celebration of the birthday of Jesus Christ ought to carry His name, whether you believe or not. This will be the only post today, as I celebrate Christmas with my family. (Just common sense)

What FOOLS They Be!

Atheists have always felt “left out” during Christmas celebrations because they had nothing to celebrate. Christians celebrated the birth of Christ, Jews celebrate Hanukkah, blacks celebrate Kwanzaa, whatever THAT is, and many other religions celebrate what their own beliefs dictate. So atheists have come up with their own reason to celebrate during Christmas season and called it “Human Light,” whatever THAT is. They say it is an “alternative to supernatural religious beliefs.” Why do we need an “alternative to supernatural religious beliefs?” If they don’t want to believe in ANY religion, organized, or not, then don’t. But don’t spend a lot of time and money to STOP others from acting on THEIR beliefs. Atheism has become a religion in itself and jealously guards its beliefs. That’s okay. Just LEAVE US ALONE! (The Blaze)

Media Ignores Obama's Union Violence

Union violence is rampant in Michigan because the governor signed a law preventing the unions from FORCING workers to join a union or give it money anyway in order to get or keep their jobs. They say it’s just “workers voicing their anger,” but it’s not. It’s UNIONS “voicing their anger” (with the support of the "president") at not being able to victimize workers who would rather not belong to a union. But the media is “tuned into” Obama’s wishes, which are PRO-union. So they don’t say anything about the violence the unions commit, while trying to MINIMIZE that which occurs. It’s DISGUSTING to me the way the media today “cherry pick” the news they will cover so as to advance the agenda of this (or any other) administration. Like the story about the aide to Sen. Melendez who is an illegal alien and a sex offender they kept from us until AFTER the election because that news might have hurt Obama. It might interest you to know that I had to read well into the SECOND paragraph in this story to learn Menendez is a Democrat. (U. S, News/NBC News)

Criticized For Common Sense

Perennial NRA VP Wayne LaPierre spoke common sense and has been vilified for it by the ignorant people who think the way to self defense is to DISARM themselves and hope the illegally armed criminals will leave them alone, a forlorn hope. In his press conference the other day he said what amounts to one thing: “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to oppose him with a good guy with a gun.” There is NO other way. When such a shooter starts shooting, what do they do? Call for somebody with a gun to oppose him. Unfortunately that doesn’t work, because the nearest good guy with a gun is usually at LEAST ten minutes away while an armed and trained EMPLOYEE of that school or shopping center is RIGHT THERE; a lot closer than the nearest cop. Such shooters can kill a lot of people in the first couple of minutes while the cop drives to the scene. That supposed NRA member who cut up his NRA membership card on television is STUPID. He has no other answer to this problem, but he condemns the answer the NRA gave him out of IGNORANCE.

Nobody else has a viable answer, but THEY criticize LaPierre for providing the ONLY viable answer there is: at least ONE PERSON at every school, unknown to the shooter, with a gun, trained and ready to oppose would-be mass shooters. Such people can’t offer their own solution, and criticize LaPierre’s solution out of IGNORANCE. Yes, a UNIFORMED cop at every school would stand out, and become the FIRST TARGET of a would-be shooter. But a teacher or other staff member people are used to seeing around, but who don’t know are armed, CAN stop a would-be shooter by killing him before he can shoot a lot of people. John Lott, author of “More Guns, Less Crime,” has PROVEN that more guns in the hands of responsible people who are trained in its use, can, and DOES reduce crime, wherever it has been tried. On the other hand, it has been PROVEN beyond doubt that “gun-free zones” are an OPEN INVITATION to people who want to come in and murder masses of people. The only answer our government offers is MORE GUN CONTROL and that doesn’t work. The literal definition of INSANITY is to do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. That’s all they can offer, yet the world seems to accept it. (The Philly Post)

Paul Harvey Was Right 47 Years Ago

“If I were the Devil, I’d keep on doing what he’s doing.” This video is only about 3 minutes long, but it tells you exactly how it is, TODAY. And he lists everything that’s being done TODAY by the liberals. Talk about being prescient! I could understand somebody saying these things today, but it takes somebody who really knows how to judge the world to say this 47 years ago. I have always been a Paul Harvey fan, and I’m very sorry he is dead. The world has lost a real “seer.” (Paul Harvey)

Anti-Gun Lies

Some time ago, the liberal magazine “Mother Jones” did a “study” that showed that in not one case had a multi-victim killing been stopped by an armed citizen. Only one problem: that’s a lie, told by simply ELIMINATING all shootings that were stopped by a gun in the hands of a citizen. Not reported in ANY news source is the fact that in Portland, there was a man there who had not noticed the signs saying that mall was a “gun-free zone” and carried his licensed gun into the mall. Everyone wonders why this shooter committed suicide after killing only a few people while firing a lot of shots. What nobody reported is that while reloading, he saw this man taking aim at him and committed suicide. In Colorado Springs, Colorado, a shooter coming into a church to do a mass killing was shot by a lone armed woman the church CLAIMS was a “security guard,” but who was in actuality simply a parishioner who happened to be armed and was asked by the church to “act as a security guard” while there. Other cases are: The Mayan Palace Theater in San Antonio, TX where an off-duty cop shot the shooter, preventing any civilian deaths; A Winnemucca, NV restaurant shooting where a licensed gun owner killed the would-be mass killer before more than two were killed;

The Appalachian School of Law, where two armed students stopped a would-be mass killer and captured him before he could kill more than a few people; In Santee, CA, a “trained campus supervisor (an off-duty cop bringing his daughter to school) “threw down” on the shooter, holding him for the cops after he was only able to kill two fellow students; At Pearl High School in Mississippi, the principal armed himself from his car when a student started killing his fellow students and held him for the cops after only two deaths; In Edinboro, PA, a student starts shooting up a restaurant gathering of students, and is stopped by a shotgun-wielding restaurant owner. By contrast, shootings at other places where NO GUNS are allowed report many deaths. In another case, a man tried to shoot up a GUN STORE and was made into “Swiss cheese” by the store employees and their customers. This sounds like “Mother Jones” is LYING to support the “anti-gun” agenda. Other anti-gun freaks likewise LIE when they release the “results” of THEIR phony “studies.” The lesson to be learned here is that these people don’t hesitate to LIE to  support their agenda, so never believe ANYTHING they tell you. (Ann Coulter)

"Mall Shooting!" "Ban Guns!"

That’ll be the cry; mark my words. The anti-gun fanatics ALWAYS “blame the guns” whenever some crazy goes out and shoots some innocent people. But the gun didn’t go crazy, a PERSON did, then picked up the gun. The gun didn’t do anything but what it was DESIGNED to do. We’ll either find out the gun was legally bought by a guy who “had no priors,” or ILLEGALLY by either somebody too young to own a gun, who is already a criminal or a known crazy. They won’t admit that gun laws can DO NOTHING to stop people who are DETERMINED to kill people from doing it. If they can’t get one legally, they’ll go out and buy one ILLEGALLY in a back alley somewhere, out of another criminal’s car trunk I really get tired of making this argument and being ignored, while honest people (including me) are kept from owning and carrying the means to their own self defense while criminals go about carrying their illegal guns hunting us. I’m still waiting for a politician, ANY politician, to answer the question, “What makes you think a CRIMINAL, who breaks laws for a LIVING, will OBEY a law that says he can’t be armed?” (Huffington Post)

TSA: "We're doing Our Best"

TSA: “WE’RE DOING OUR BEST”:  If this is “their best,” it leaves a LOT to be desired. The TSA in Texas detained a little, 12-year-old crippled girl with degenerative bone disease for more than an HOUR because they “detected fertilizer,” which could have been “explosive residue” on her. Nobody even THOUGHT to check the WHEELS on her wheelchair, which might have rolled through some fertilizer somewhere. Apparently, they’re too STUPID to do that. Did they think this little crippled girl was REALLY a threat? The local TSA “top dawg” gave them his cell phone number when he was called in and promised to come in and personally walk her through the system in the future every time she came through. Nice gesture, but way too late to make this innocent little girl feel better. (Mail Online)

Fool Calls Fox Anchor "Fathead"

Author Tom Ricks (who’s that?) Called Fox anchor Jon Scott a “fathead recently after  Scott suddenly ended his interview with Ricks after Ricks said Fox was “overhyping” the Benghazi incident and acting as a “wing of the Republican Party.” Fox said he later apologized and I believe them. I watch them regularly and have NEVER caught them in a lie. I watch them because I got tired of watching the media fawn over Obama and his “band of thieves” and “select” the news they WILL cover so as to please Obama. His claim that Fox “overhypes” the Benghazi incident is the words of a FOOL. That incident CANNOT be emphasized enough. Not until the people responsible for the deaths of FOUR embassy people have been made to accept responsibility and take the consequences. That’s how liberals try and discredit the ONLY news outlet that tells the WHOLE story, not leaving out things the liberals don’t like. And that’s what ALL liberals hate (not just Ricks) about them. Actually, it is NOT Fox that “makes things up,” it’s the entire liberal media. I can PROVE that, Ricks cannot prove his contention. This fool should SHUT UP. He should stop telling LIES about one of the ONLY network that brings us ALL the news; not just the news that doesn’t make Obama mad. (The Blaze) It’s the second item, Scroll down.

What Was Different in the Forties?

In the forties [when I went to school –RT] there just WERE no school shootings like the Sandy Hook school shooting that claimed the lives of 20 small children and six adults. There were NO such shootings then, and it was not unusual for children to actually bring guns to school with them. Those kids often used those guns to provide food for the table.  Then they made a law against it and opened the floodgates. Writer Dave Kopel wrote about that very thing. “Kopel says that for most of America’s history ‘it was not uncommon for students to bring guns to school.’ He cites a column in which John Lane reminisces about his youth in the 1940s and 1950s, and says that he ‘attempted to find a school shooting from that era,’ but ‘came up empty.’ On the following page Kopel goes further, passing on the claim that ‘before the 1990 [Gun-Free School Zone Act], there had been only seven shootings at an American school in the previous 214 years,’ and that ‘in the 17 years following the GFSZA, there were 78 such incidents.’ ’’ Something’s wrong here. without such laws, there were NO such shootings, and after that law was passed there were 78, compared with only SEVEN in the previous 214 years! The difference is such shooters now KNOW there will be NO GUNS in schools so they are PRIME TARGETS. That’s the difference. (Student Activism)

"It Didn't Work, Let's Do It Again!"

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is a DEFINITION of insanity. So General Motors, now run by Obama’s government, is coming out with a new electric car, even though nobody wanted the Chevy Volt and they’ve shut down the plant that made them (until Obama orders it open again in spite of lack of customers). This new one isn’t a “hybrid” with a backup gasoline engine. When it runs out of power, the driver is just out of luck and had better be close to a plug. Oh, yeah, Obama “saved” the auto industry all right! He keeps pumping money into it so it LOOKS like it’s doing better. Watch out, folks! We’ll soon be the “Union of Soviet Socialist America.” That’s what Obama is going after. (Chevy Spark)

"Gun-Free Zones"

Except for those carried by criminals and crazies wanting to shoot everybody in sight, that is. People who obey laws obey gun laws. Criminals don’t. Yesterday, such a fool murdered 20 CHILDREN, some as young as 5. the day before that, another killed at least two people in another shopping center. The news media went “wall-to-wall with it, too. In Denver, at least one radio station spent the entire DAY into the night talking about the Connecticut shooting. I’m sure this happened all over the country, maybe even the world. And they should, because somebody killing a bunch of CHILDREN is a real tragedy. But they don't need to "beat it into the ground." What did these two shootings gave in common? They were both “gun-free zones.” But what about that shooting last year in a GUN SHOP where the guy shot a clerk and was instantly made into “Swiss cheese” by the rest of the clerks, including the one he shot? Was the shooter planning on shooting everybody in the store? It was a news item for a few hours and then “sank like a stone.” Except for the Indianapolis media, nobody was interested in the story. Why? Because the victim was armed and able to defend himself. Even the “anti-gun crazies” shut up about it because this kind of story, where the victim was armed, just didn’t fit their narrative. I’ve always noticed that such shootings didn’t happen at gun shows or anywhere else where everybody was armed, and for a good reason. In “gun-free zones” like schools and the like, they might as well put up a sign saying, “No guns here. We’re defenseless. Come on in and shoot us.”

Yes, such shootings are bad. But trying to eliminate guns in order to stop them is illogical and STUPID. The GUN didn’t kill these people. The man HOLDING the gun did. If he couldn’t get a gun (doubtful) he’d find something else to use in killing innocent people. Anybody who BELIEVES that a CRIMINAL, who violates the law for a LIVING, will OBEY a law saying he can’t be armed is STUPID. And that includes all those stupid politicians who think so, including our illustrious President Obama. I’m getting very tired of repeating this and having it fall on deaf ears while more and more people DIE because of this rampant STUPIDITY. I’m still waiting for our incompetent politicians to WAKE UP and realize that the ONLY WAY to eliminate such atrocities is to allow as many GOOD people as possible to be armed, and carry their guns concealed.  including in those ubiquitous “gun-free zones” for self defense so the crazies and criminals won’t be FREE to kill innocent people. It is a PROVEN FACT that where there are MORE GUNS in the hands of innocent people, violent crime goes DOWN. In Florida, where getting a carry permit is easy, the violent crime rate has PREDICTABLY gone DOWN wile the deaths and injuries to armed CRIMINALS has gone UP. There cannot be more OBVIOUS evidence this is true. But our anti-gun politicians are blissfully IGNORANT of this fact. They’re PURPOSELY ignorant of facts that do not advance their narrative.

What Stupidity!

 This artist depicts Obama as the “Crucified Christ.” How STUPID is he? Can’t this person see that Obama is DESTROYING our economy by his prolific spending? It pains me to know we HAVE such stupid people in this country who have the TALENT to produce such a painting. This kind of thing shows just how far the fools running this country into the socialist ground have come in conditioning people that their fool policies are rational and proper. Damn! (Todd Starnes)

A "Turning Point" In Gun Control

Damn, I hope not! That would be STUPID. That’s what they are now saying of the mass shooting in Portland, Oregon. Like a LAW will stop people like this shooter from STEALING the gun he used to murder at least two people at that mall. As I predicted, they want to ban all “assault weapons,” using this as an opportunity to advance their agenda, and without knowing just what an “assault weapon” is. They seem to forget that people who want to do such things WILL get a gun if they have to buy it illegally or STEAL it. The “toothpaste is out of the tube.” Guns exist, and you’re not going to be able to UN-invent them. If they exist, people WILL be able to get one. And if they can’t, they’ll use something else such as a sword, as did yet another would-be mass murderer recently. (Just common sense)

I'm Not A Conservative

Though conservatism in America is close to what I am. Neither am I a liberal, and never could be. Liberals, for the most part, believe stealing from a person who PRODUCES something and giving that stolen to someone who DIDN’T earn it, for whatever reason, is right. They believe EVERYBODY should get an “equal piece of the pie,” whether they earned it, or not. Conservatives believe the exact opposite. So do I. But some conservatives are ardent Christians; I’m not. I believe in a supreme being that “orders this universe.” I’d be a fool not to. This universe, in all its wonder and complicated interconnections, did not come into existence by chance. But I may or may not believe He takes the form you believe in. A supreme being capable of creating this universe doesn’t have time to worry about whether or not people believe in or worship Him. We are a "by-product" of His creation. Does that make me bad? Some people who do NOT believe in God want to vilify me for my beliefs, or lack thereof.

Some who do not believe in God want to vilify me for believing in a supreme being who may or may not be THEIR God. How can I hurt anybody for not believing the exact same way they do? Muslim extremists want to KILL me for the crime of being an “unbeliever.” That is the sign of a FOOL. I am a “rational individualist.” I give no credence to the wishes of ANYBODY who wants to control my life or my actions. I make MY OWN decisions and jealously GUARD the ability to do so, unhindered, either by liberals OR conservatives – or anybody else.  Conservatism is but a label one person applies to another to use in judging him (or her). Liberalism likewise. Liberals don’t want to be judged. But every person MUST judge others in order to know how to deal with that person. We are judging each other daily. It’s part of life. Refusing to allow judging is a means of not being held responsible for their actions without reprisals when they are judged to be inimical to good order. It is my right to judge others, though it is not necessarily my right to take that person to task for my judgment of him (her). (Just common sense)
TR UC

Department of Business

Obama wants to appoint another new cabinet member; the Secretary of Business. What the hell FOR? All such a "secretary" can do is make regulations that PREVENT good business. That shows me Obama knows NOTHING about business. As if I didn’t know that already. He has never held a job outside of government from the time he was a “community organizer” to the day he BECAME president, his salary has ALWAYS come from a government job, either appointed or elected. And he’s never DONE anything really important—nothing anybody but the moochers ever wanted. That’s his voting bloc: MOOCHERS; those who don’t want to be bothered EARNING a living and would rather the government paid for their living, instead. The people who don’t care if he destroys the economy of the country as long as he keeps the “goodies” coming. “That's right, he knows he has a problem with American business and naturally, he thinks there is a government solution. This shows how tone-deaf he is, how ignorant he must be of how business works in America and what American businesses want from Washington.” They want nothing except to be LEFT ALONE to do their business.

Geithner: Remove Debt Ceiling

Let us spend ALL your money! That’s how he thinks we can solve our debt problems: borrow more and more without limit. I wish I could do that without ever reaching the END of my credit. This is the level of intelligence displayed by Obama appointees. This guy in particular, was appointed to run the IRS, even though he owed thousands of dollars in back taxes, himself. No wonder he thinks the path to economical solvency is to borrow more and more. Damn, what INCOMPETENCE this reveals! He said the recent effort to stop the increase in the debt ceiling was a “political ploy” for “political advantage.” Wow! This guy is REALLY stupid! (The Blaze)

Blame the Gun, Not the Man

That seems to be the thing to do these days. When something happens, ANYTHING, involving a gun, people blame the GUN, not the man holding it. What they refuse to acknowledge is that a gun cannot hurt ANYBODY if there isn’t a PERSON holding it and pulling the trigger. I get so tired of hearing about situations like this, where a black thug argued his way into an open door to a CLOSED convenience store and attempted to INTIMIDATE the clerk. He got in his face, not an inch away. Then without warning he punched the clerk in the face while his buddies pulled their guns. The clerk, frightened for his life, pulled out his own gun and shot the thug, leaving him in critical condition. This should be the end of it, except for the jailing of the thugs involved. The cops, after watching the security tape, declared it a “self defense” action.

The thug’s father, however, wasn’t so charitable. Notwithstanding the fact that his boy was the aggressor, along with his armed friends, he (and others in the neighborhood) are demanding the clerk be charged and sent to prison for defending himself from several armed and obstreperous opponents. I guess he thinks his son was in the right in his unprovoked attack on this clerk, backed up by his armed friends. The clerk (so far) will NOT be charged, but he has lost his job and probably will have to move away to avoid retribution by other thugs in the neighborhood. The clerk is white while the thug is black, which makes it worse. I’m on the clerk’s side, which will cause people to call me a racist, no doubt. But I think the racism is on the black side for thinking ANYBODY who shoots a black man should be punished, even if he WAS the victim. Frankly, I’d have punched the thug as soon as he got in my face so closely. (Last Resistance)

Using the Race Card (Again)

I wonder what excuse the Obama administration would use for UN Ambassador Susan Rice LYING to the public when the truth was KNOWN if she wasn’t black? Calling people RACIST when they aren’t has been used so much that nobody even BELIEVES it any more when they pull out the race card. I’ve been called racist many times for telling the TRUTH about a black person or refusing to bow to the liberals and their “PC speech.” These people really have a low opinion of people’s intelligence to think we would still believe this “racist lie.” (The Blaze)

We're LIVING "Atlas Shrugged"

I hate to have to write this again, but it is necessary. I’ve read Ayn Rand’s landmark “Atlas Shrugged: many times, and each time I do, I see something new in it. You need to read it. The last time I saw Barack Obama in the “head of government” whose policies led to the demise of society through the STRIKE of the men of the mind” who got tired of having the fruits of their ideas and labors STOLEN by men who could not come near to their creativity and industry. Men who merely wanted to take advantage of their minds and bodies for their own good while leaving the people who CREATED things to languish in the sure knowledge that their labors and ideas were being STOLEN by lesser men. Long ago I learned about the MOOCHERS who only wished to live at the expense of others, the LOOTERS (in government) who stole the means for that end, and GAVE what they stole to the moochers. And who was it they stole from? It was he PRODUCERS of society; the people who CREATED the ideas and new products and suffered the PUNISHMENT meted out by the looters for their excellence.

Obama is doing exactly the same things those LOOTERS did when he proposes (and insists on) taxing “the rich,” whose ideas and labors MADE them rich and “redistributing (their) wealth” to “the middle class” who did not earn it and do not deserve it. Taxing the rich does NOT improve the economy. If you took every dime EARNED by the rich this next year you could run the federal government for about ONE MONTH; and you could only do it once because “the rich” would soon learn there was NO INCENTIVE to earn a lot of money because it would be STOLEN from them by the GOVERNMENT. So they would simply stop earning money the government could tax. They’d either stop earning or figure out ways to AVOID the high taxes the government proposes—as they did when the top tax rate was close to an insane 100% before Ronald Reagan lowered it to a less insane level and created one of the biggest, longest lasting BOOMS in our history until the liberals destroyed it by “fiddling with” the economy to get elected.

They passed a law (The “Citizen’s Reinvestment Act of 1976”) that REQUIRED lenders to loan money to people who could not repay it—something that caused the country’s biggest banker in “Atlas Shrugged” to “zero out” his books and disappear, becoming the first “producer” to do so, and beginning the “strike of the men of the mind” that is the basic premise in this book. Obama is doing the same things, only by taxing these people at an unfair and higher rate than the rest of us, thus STEALING the excess and REMOVING the INCENTIVE to produce rather than (as in the book) forcing them to "sign over" the rights to their property. It’s only a matter of time before the “producers” stop producing and the economy goes completely to hell. It is already halfway there and Obama and his “band of thieves” are claiming the recession is over so when things get worse they can blame “the rich” for it. I’m an old man and won’t have to live through most of it, but my children and grandchildren and their descendants will.

What I see for the future is a “Socialist America” where, like in the old “Soviet Socialist Russia,” the shelves will be empty and the “state” rules everybody’s life with a “strong hand” while PREVENTING free market activity until it, too, fails as the Soviet Union did because socialism RELIES on the earnings of those who WILL work. We’re already seeing the beginnings of that with all Obama’s THOUSANDS of new regulations that are STIFLING business while he taxes them out of existence. He believes socialism is the way to go and he is IGNORANT for that belief. But he has conned his way into power with the MOOCHERS as his voting base. I really thought he would be voted out of office in 2012 as people with more intelligence prevailed. It didn’t happen. The MOOCHERS, who only want a “free ride” and don’t care about anything else, re-elected him and in the next four years he will be working HARD to destroy our way of life and impose SOCIALISM upon us. And unless we can IMPEACH him for his crimes (such as standing by and watching while our ambassador in Beghazi, Libya was murdered, then lying about it later) we’re stuck with him, at LEAST for the next four years—and probably more if he manages to get the constitutional prohibition against his re-election for a third term lifted, which I’m sure is one of his target actions. (Just common sense)

This Is "Peceful" Islam

Murderous Muslim cowards shot and killed six “suspected” informants on the streets of Gaza, then (unemployed) mobs stomped and spit on the bodies. One body was strapped to a motorcycle and dragged through the streets with his pants around his ankles. Where were the “authorities” while this was going on? Doesn’t HAMAS claim to be “the authority” there? They SAY all Muslims don’t sympathize with such savage murders. But they never seem to have a problem “drawing a crowd” to kill and maim people who disagree with them and brutalize the bodies even after they’re dead. These are the people we’re (with the Jews) fighting. They’re murderous FOOLS and cowards and need to be shot on sight. Some of the people in this crowd stomping on the bodies were CHILDREN! These are their own people! What would they do to us if they could? (Bare Naked Islam)

Obama Is Destroying Us!

And the people who can do something about it are asleep. The Republicans are afraid to do anything, though they sometimes TALK a good game. They should be doing what is necessary to IMPEACH him before he finishes the job. But they won’t. they haven‘t got the guts. They sit in “closed meetings” and whimper while Obama tells them, “Ah wun; so we’re gonna do it MAH way.” They let him do it while telling us it isn’t their fault. But it is, because they won’t do what is necessary to put a stop to his machinations. Obama lies unmercifully about them and do they “set us straight?” Nope. They just keep their mouths shut and hope it won’t be all that bad. They sit around and argue about the cause of our problems when they KNOW it is Obama and his schemes. Obama keeps saying we “need to ask the rich to pay a little more” and other liberals say “we need to ask EVERYBODY to pay a little more. Fools like Bob Beckel (The Five) say we’re so interested in ANYTHING that is anti-Obama we can’t think of anything else while the rest of the cast scoff, but don’t even suggest anything better that we can do to stop him. (Just common sense)

Egypt And Iran Gang Up On Israel

It’s not just HAMAS and Israel fighting; it’s Iran and EGYPT “ganging up” on Israel And the Islamic terrorist President of Egypt is calling the RETALIATORY strike that DESTROYED most of its longer range rockets “Israeli aggression.” What FOOLS they are to thin the world will believe that crap they spout? The newer, wider-ranging rockets CAME FROM Iran and were shipped across Egypt to HAMAS in Gaza, specifically do HAMAS could use them to MURDER innocent Israeli citizens. If I were the Israeli leaders, I would not “play around” with any of them. I would INVADE Gaza, WIPE OUT HAMAS, “root and branch,” then go after Egypt and Iran, putting their current regimes out of business. Israel has been “playing their games” long enough. Israel needs to GET RID OF their enemies, once and for all. Knowing the New York Times, I’m surprised they even RAN this story. They usually IGNORE information in Israel’s favor. (New York Times)


I am LIVID every time I hear ANYBODY talk about “the Israeli aggression against Palestine.” In the first place there IS no Palestine, (The name was "settled" on them by Egypt during the "Camp David Accords” after Israel won the "Six-Day War").  and nobody ever mentions the Palestinian aggression against ISRAEL! There is a strange SILENCE in the liberal media about the THOUSANDS of rockets fired into ISRAEL by HAMAS, an Islamic PALESTINIAN terrorist organization! They are living in Gaza, an area Israel GAVE BACK after they won it in the "Six-Day War. What’s WRONG with these people that they can’t see what is right in front of their faces? Israeli is NOT “the aggressor” in this situation, and no matter how many times people like the Islamic terrorist President of Egypt says so, they can’t MAKE it so. What FOOLS these Islamic terrorists are to even THINK we would believe this TWISTING of the truth! Israel needs to simply DESTROY HAMAS by killing ALL its leaders instead of “TALKING” to them. Their rockets are much better aimed, and they know the HAMAS address. DO it! Egypt’s Islamic terrorist president says, “Israel’s aggression will end, today.” I don’t know if he means an agreement will be made or that his forces will ATTACK Israel—a little like one bully supporting another. Israel won the Gaza Strip in its “Six-Day War,” where it defeated Egypt and several other Arab countries (at the same time). If Egypt’s president means it intends to “go to war” against tiny Israel, he should remember who won the last one. (Mail.com)

How Hypocritical!

The Palestinian Authority was completely silent about the rocket attacks on Israel by HAMAS, then calls Israel’s housing plans “war crimes.” How easy it is for fools like this to “indict” their enemies with lies and misrepresentations when the press will NOT correct them. We’re getting into the same rut in this country when the American liberal press refuses to report on Obama’s latest outrage while criticizing anybody who says anything against him by calling them racist. (The Blaze)

Why Won't He Admit It?

Why does Obama absolutely REFUSE to admit the existence of Islamic terrorism and terrorists? Why did he see to it the words “Islamic terrorists” were removed from the report about the murders of our diplomats in Benghazi, Libya? Did he do that for the same reason his AG refused to prosecute Black Panthers who were clearly attempting to intimidate voters into voting Democrat in 2008 because they were “his people?” Are the Islamic terrorists “Obama’s people?” It couldn’t be clearer that he SYMPATHIZES with the Islamic terrorists. But is he actively SUPPORTING them? Why did he refuse to strengthen security there, even after SEVERAL previous attacks, thus condemning people to DEATH?

The very fact that he works so hard to discredit ANYBODY who questions his citizenship without EVER showing any proof he is tells me he IS our first “foreign-born president.” But is he a Muslim or just a Muslim sympathizer? In any case, he’s a con man who CONNED his way into the presidency, counting on the fact that MOST Americans pay no attention to politics until just before an election and then make up their minds on the basis of what LYING ads tell them. And he conned his way into re-election by LYING about his opponent in any way possible for TWO OR MORE YEARS. Our president is at least a CRIMINAL and at worst, a MURDERER. I wondered if Clinton was a murderer, but I can be SURE about Obama. (Just common sense)

Obama is a FOOL

Or he’s the “worst con man alive” and is doing everything he can to ruin this economy so he can make this country into “Socialist America” with himself at its head. Everything he does carries us further toward the “Fiscal Cliff” so he can claim that "the free market doesn’t work, let’s try socialism" (He doesn’t tell you that socialism has NEVER worked, anywhere it has been tried, and it has been tried many times). Of course, he won’t put it that way: he’ll just talk about “sharing the wealth” (that some people EARN with people who DON’T earn). He’ll talk about “taxing the rich" (who are the people who make this economy work, making all the profits that are the LUBRICANT that keeps the “wheels of progress" moving, and who create ALL the jobs that create new wealth). He says you can “tax and spend” our way to success (when you can’t, and he KNOWS that). He KNOWS you can’t raise taxes in a recession and hope to improve the economy (he has SAID so) but he does it, anyway. He tells us (lyingly) that the “recession is over” and when we offer a solution he doesn’t like he accuses us of “extending the recession" while it is HIS policies that do). He is one of the biggest impediments to economic progress there is, and we will be well rid of him if it ever happens. He'll work just as hard to keep it from happening. (Just common sense)

Obama: Gun Enemy

Many people think Bush was a bad president; mostly because of the LIES the Democrats told about him. They did the same thing to Sarah Palin before she even had a chance to BE president. A DAY after Obama was re-elected, he signaled his willingness to sign that infamous UN treaty that could STRIP us of our right to self defense and to own and use the means to it, gun ownership. The first step toward a DICTATORSHIP. Step one toward DISMEMBERING our constitutional protections. If he succeeds, then he will go on to the next protection: the right to speak against your government in public. Meanwhile, blue-helmeted FOREIGN troops will come to your door with their OWN guns to take yours. Since he no longer has to worry about being elected again, he can DO such things. The same idea was “floated” in the Bush administration, but was soundly REJECTED. I have my own problems with George Bush, but all in all, he was NOT a “bad president”—and I DEFY anyone to PROVE to me that he was (Hint: “single-issue” people don’t even bother).

Many liberals think the important thing about Obama is that “he cares.” He DOESN’T. He cares ONLY about things that advance HIS agenda. Example: the Benghazi massacre being a terrorist action did not advance his agenda so he (and all his lackeys) lied about it until they could no longer do so. I think one of the things that will destroy this free republic is people who won’t even LOOK at something put out by an outfit with “Freedom” in its name. "The right to control your guns is not open for debate or for negotiation. It is a sovereign right that no foreign organization, including the United Nations has the right or the authority to undertake, because a president gives the go ahead. When any president decides to destroy the nation’s U.S. Constitutional rights afforded to its citizens, which he has sworn to uphold, he no longer has the authority to represent the nation’s citizens. He must be impeached!" (Freedom Outpost)

Our Leaders Are Incompetent

Does anybody wonder why we always seem to be in financial trouble, among other kinds of trouble? Why we seem to be always faced with “panic mode” decisions at the last minute? Such as the “financial cliff dog-and-pony show” Washington is putting on right now? It’s because our “leaders” are “infected” with the “collectivist bug.” They seem to think the way to solve all out problems is to “redistribute wealth.”  We’re in a damn serious financial mess now because of the liberals “fiddling around” with our economy, since, but not starting with, the Community Reinvestment Act of 1976 which FORCED lenders to loan money to people who could not afford to pay it back, one of the biggest non-government “redistribution” of the wealth of EARNERS to NON-EARNERS in recent memory. It was a law that was BOUND to cause an economic implosion sooner or later.

They started Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to “buy up” all those “poisonous mortgages” to “keep the lid on” until they needed to “let it loose” to win an election. That time came just before the 2008 presidential election. They (liberals in our government) “shut down” Fannie and Freddie for a while, taking the lid off the effects of that law and cause lots of foreclosures just in time to blame the Republicans for the economic crash that ensued. It worked. Obama and his “gang of thieves” were elected in a “bloodless coup” and have set out to make this country into a “socialist republic.” But they went too far and lost control of it. So they “re-instituted” Fannie and Freddie in hopes of putting the lid back on, with as much money as they would ever need, coming form the taxpayer. THAT didn't work and we're STILL in the recession they created, and which they insist is over. “Throughout all of this mess, for some reason, liberals have latched on to the belief that income redistribution is the key to U.S. economic success.

“It seems that if the underclass makes more and the upper class makes less our economy will flourish at historic levels and, like manna from heaven, money will just fall from the sky. Our fiscal problems will vanish.” But that’s WRONG, and shows their INCOMPETENCE clearly to those of us who pay attention to what politicians do. Now they’re merrily spending more money than there IS while giving “handouts” to everyone they think can help keep them in power. The problem here is “income redistribution,” a collectivist (socialist) notion that will eventually GUARANTEE our economic demise and cause us to sink into collectivism. This is not a problem to us, alone. Politicians all over the world are similarly pushing collectivism and, predictably, their citizens are suffering the consequences. Greece, for example, is completely broke, as are many other European countries that are PRACTICING collectivism (socialism, communism, Fascism, Progressivism, which is communism under another name). (Last Resistance)

Business Council a Sham

Increasingly, everything in Washington is a silly “dog and pony show” designed to make us THINK they’re doing something. Obama’s “Business Council” fits that description. The last meeting of this “council” was in January 2011, which tells you how important it is to Obama’s plans for private enterprise. Obama spoke from a teleprompter (which he needs to be able to “take a dump’) and everybody else made “prepared remarks.” Nobody was listening to anyone else (They were probably playing games on their "Smart Phones"). Then they all went home and kept on doing things the way they’ve always done them. Of course, Obama made his usual stupid promise to “victimize” the rich, ignoring the fact that everybody there was a rich businessman.. (Penn Live)
