Daughter Needs A Whipping
If a daughter of mine sent me a note like this I would find her and give her the whipping she never got when she was young: “Hi mom just to let you know you’re a real f***ing winner aren’t you you think you’re so cool and you think you caught me throwing up in the bathroom after eating an egg frittatta, yeah sorry that you have problems now and you need to harp on mine because i didn’t and i actually took a s*** which i really just wanna s*** all over your face right now because it looks like that anyway, anyway i f***ing hate you and um I’ve written you off so don’t talk to me, don’t do anything I’m blocking you from just about everything, have a nice life, bye mom” This is what results when wimpy liberals fool people into not punishing their kids when they’re young. They get a kid who has no sense of personal responsibility and no respect for anybody, much less their parents, This is a quote from the note left by phone from Rachel Canning after she SUED her parents for not supporting her after she turned 18. She ignores the fact that they are not RESPONSIBLE to pay for her needs after she becomes an adult. Frankly, the court should have thrown this out without hearing it because it is a frivolous suit and baseless. (The Blaze)
And guess Which Cities?
Many American cities have more gun violence than do entire countries. And guess which cities it is? The ones with the tightest anti-gun laws, like Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, etc. and guess who runs ALL those cities? DEMOCRATS, of course! These figures show conclusively that the gun laws they have made not only don’t work, they CREATE more violence and kill more people. But the fools making these laws aren’t listening. Their minds are made up, so don’t confuse them with facts. What we have to do is start electing intelligent politicians who know what they’re doing, and don’t just “make laws” to make it LOOK like they’re “doing something.” All we have to do is that. But WILL we? (Policy Mic)
Thinking In the Right Direction
In Chicago, they're STARTING to think right. Yes! Chicago’s top cop is now saying “tougher sentences would make fewer gun victims. That’s right! He says Kevin Johnson wouldn’t have been on the street to be shot; he’d have been in jail, and so would the shooter. But he’s right, in a way; both participants in that shooting WOULD still be in jail if the sentences for gun violence had been longer because just before the shooting, BOTH were in jail for OTHER shooting incidents. At least in Chicago, they’re STARTING to think in the right direction for gun laws. What they don’t say is that both participants are gang members. So why don’t they make better laws to control gang activity? (Huffington Post)

Useless Law
The Brady Law, named for Reagan’s Press Secretary who was wounded in the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, has been completely useless as a means to reduce gun violence. They CLAIM that their law prevented 2 million legal gun sales, one million of which are supposed to be felons. But this ignores the several million ILLEGAL gun sales made by criminals to criminals in alleys, with illegal guns sold out of the trunks of their cars at inflated prices. These people continually ignore these factors and think LEGAL gun sales are all that count. Criminals usually don’t get their guns from legal sources. They seek out these “back alley” gun sellers who don’t require adherence to any law and buy there. Otherwise, they simply STEAL their guns. Therefore, laws such as the :”Brady Law” do NOTHING to reduce violent crime. But anti-gun fools ignore that, even though they know it. (Investor’s Business Daily)
"I Will Not Comply!"
John S. Cinque, a “fed-up Navy veteran,” told lawmakers, “I will not comply” with your silly gun laws. He asked them if those laws would have done ANYTHING to stop the killings at the Sandy Hook school. And after a lot of hemming and hawing, one legislator, Connecticut State Rep. David Yaccarino (a REPUBLICAN, no less) answered, “Probably not.” Then Yaccarino went on to say, “We have an obligation to do our best to protect public safety.” Which caused Cinque to “go off” on them, saying, “I’m a 30-year public servant, 20-year career fireman, OK? United States Navy veteran, upstanding citizen all my life, three children — and with the stroke of a pen from the ivory tower with the gold top, you’ve decided to create me to be a felon. A class D felony for doing absolutely nothing wrong.” For which he got a standing ovation. They freely admitted their laws would DO NOTHING to stop such as Sandy hook, and then insist that they “have an obligation to do our best to protect public safety.” So why don’t they DO that, instead of making laws they KNOW would not help? But then preaching truth to anti-gun fanatics falls on “deaf ears.” (The Blaze)
"The Cold War Is Over"
That’s what our fool of a president thinks, and he’s dealing with Putin based on that fantasy. The truth is, the “fall of communism in Russia” was a Communist scam known as “two steps forward and one step back,” leaving them with one step advanced, while we feel good that we “forced” them one step back. Gorbachev told his parliament, “Don’t be concerned about ‘perestroika” or any of that. It’s just a sham to put the Americans to sleep,” or words to that effect. And it worked. Most Americans (and almost ALL our politicians) think communism IS dead in Russia. What they don’t notice is that the SAME PEOPLE are STILL “in charge there, and their system is SOCIALIST, which is just a different form of COLLECTIVISM. Their president today was a top KVD officer under the Soviets and still operates the same way. He is working as hard as he can to “return Russia to “its former (communist) glory.” His actions in the Ukraine are all part of that effort. And Obama is either too stupid to figure that out, or he is a “co-conspirator” in making this a communist country. That much is completely obvious to those of us old enough to see it, and who have paid attention all these years. (Just common sense)

Mass Killing in Communist China
You can’t get a legal gun in communist China, but terrorists killed 27 people—with knives, before the cops arrived and shot them down. Which just goes to prove you don’t need a gun to kill a lot of people while the cops are still COMING. Do you think if just one of these people or one who was just there had a gun that the results would be different? As in all cases, the “bad guys were able to kill a LOT of people before the cops could even GET there. And that’s true here, as well as there. But don’t try and convince the anti-gun fanatics of that. They have a way of “tuning you out” when you try and tell them truth. They’d rather pursue their illogical gun laws than do anything REAL about gun violence. (The Blaze)
Worse Than Bloomberg
I thought New Yorkers couldn’t find a worse mayor than Bloomberg. I was wrong. Bloomberg only wanted to get rid of large pops, transfats and guns. DiBasio wants to get rid of the very people whose money pays for all his liberal giveaway programs, the “rich.” He freely admits the “rich” pay 30% of ALL taxes paid, that they do most of the charitable giving that is done. But he wants to “get rid of the golden goose that lays the golden eggs.” That’s not logical. But then, liberals are not known for their logic. I guess New Yorkers are just prone to electing people who will make life miserable for them. They’ve done it many times. About the only exception recently was Rudy Guilani, who, while not a “conservative,” per se, has shown himself to be much smarter than the average New York mayor. (New York Post)
Unconstitutional Efforts
Liberals (on both sides) continue to make unconstitutional laws to prevent honest, responsible people from having the means to self-defense against ILLEGALLY armed criminals. Some people say they’re just stupid. I don’t believe it. They know most of their laws are unconstitutional, but they think they can “sneak it by” the Supreme Court, or enforce it on unsuspecting people UNTIL it is DECLARED unconstitutional. Otherwise, they pass laws that make guns useless. Banning certain ammo is one way. Another is banning high capacity magazines; or forcing people to put their guns in “hard to open quickly” gun safes, making them useless for self-defense against a criminal, who already has his illegal gun in his hand. They do their best to “get around” the Constitution. (Just common sense)

Found Not Guilty
Tell me again how people with a lot of money and “connections” can’t “get away with murder.” She was found not guilty of driving while impaired while she was “driving while impaired.” The just didn’t believe she was impaired. “She crushed up some Ambien, she took it, and she was driving while impaired, barely awake, but she wasn't.” The jury said, "No, she didn't mean it." It wasn't because she was a Kennedy! “No, no, that had nothing to do with it.” It was a brilliant defense. She said she was on the way to work. Nobody gets drunk on the way to work (Ya THINK?)! Nobody takes Ambien on the way to work.” They DON’T? What kind of stupid people don’t think drug abusers and drunks do stupid things? If she wasn’t Robert Kennedy’s daughter, she would be in the deepest, darkest dungeon they could find. (Rush Limbaugh) And if you don’t believe it because the source is Rush Limbaugh, the jury is not the stupid ones.
Answer the Damned Question!
I’ve asked the same question of anti-gun politicians all over the country. And to a man (or woman) they can’t answer it. The question is, “What makes you think a CRIMINAL, whose whole life is dedicated to breaking the law, will OBEY a law that says he can’t be armed?” They either ignore it and walk away (one even called security to get rid of me) or start calling me names (labeling me) such as “gun lover.” Then some ask me if I’d like for EVERYBODY to be armed, as they walk away. If I had been given a chance to answer, my answer would be “yes.” If illegally armed criminals could not generally depend on their intended victims to be unarmed and thus, an “easy target,” maybe some of them would go into other, less dangerous “professions.” If these ignorant politicians would just CONSIDER an answer to my question, maybe they’d wake up and realize that disarming EVERYBODY is NOT an answer to gun violence. But they don’t, and continue to make stupid laws that make us all “easy targets” for illegally armed criminals, while accomplishing nothing else. (Just common sense)
We're Livintg "Atlas Shrugged"
Midas Mulligan (weird name, that, but Ayn Rand was prone to using such names) was the biggest and richest banker in Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged,” the story of “men of the mind” going “on strike” against the looters and moochers who were enslaving them and their inventiveness. They were being PUNISHED for being “achievers.” Mulligan rebelled against them when they demanded he loan money to people who could not repay it and “zeroed out” his businesses, to disappear from sight along with people like John Galt, the inventor of the world’s first real “perpetual motion” machine, who went “on strike” against the looters and moochers, refusing to allow them any longer to take advantage of the products of their minds. We’re LIVING “Atlas Shrugged” today on a much grander scale, with the Democrat Party itself making similar demands, not just on one banker, but on ALL lenders of money. This has caused a major collapse of the economy that has created a “bloodless coup” allowing the Democrats to completely “take over” the federal government and impose their will (which happens to be collectivism, or socialism) on America.
Rep. Paul Ryan, (R-WI) said this about the Democrat scam as the reason why he gives copies of “Atlas Shrugged” away to his colleagues: “ ’It’s an audacious scheme,’ said Ryan in his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference recently. ‘Set off a series of regulatory blunders and congressional meddling, blame the free market for the financial crisis that follows — then use this excuse to impose a more intrusive state. Sounds like something right out of an Ayn Rand novel.’ ” He’s right. Ayn Rand predicted what’s happening now. That liberals would “go crazy” if they ever gained complete control, and they’re doing just that. They’ve spent more in the first three weeks of Obama’s “rule” than the government spent in all the time since America’s creation! The bankers and lenders are “lining up,” as the employees of the Starnes Company did in “Atlas,” to prove they are “the most needy.” Socialism makes “need” a DEMAND on the earnings of those capable of earning their own way. When it takes over (as it is doing now) many people want “in on the action.” They want others to allow them to live at others’ expense, using “need” as a DEMAND on their earnings. This is what’s at the bottom of our problems; not capitalism, as the socialist Democrats want you to believe. I've posted this before, and nothing happened. People read it, and then went out and washed their cars and forgot it.For that reason, they WILL win, eventually, even with people like me sounding the bell of danger. They just don't care.

The "Commerce Clause Swindle"
The feds have always wanted to convince the people that the “commerce clause” to the Constitution allowed federal law to trump state and local laws. It does NOT. It merely allows the feds to control what happens BETWEEN states. Not entirely WITHIN a state. In addition, the Constitution clearly states that state laws trump federal laws in ALL cases. They try to obfuscate the issue, but nothing could be clearer. In N. Dakota there is a “nullification law” that stops them from ANY action regarding controlling guns made WITHIN the state and USED within the state under the “commerce clause.” Other states have made similar laws stopping them from interference in state’s business in this and other areas, such as the light bulb freedom act, the whiskey freedom act, the tobacco freedom act, the healthcare freedom act, and others. Inspired by the MFFA (Montana Firearms Freedom Act), the U.S. is now alive with ‘nullification’ efforts at the state level – state efforts telling the federal government to back off,” he said. I’d have used a different word than “back,:” but you get the idea. The feds need to “bug off” and stay out of state business. The states CREATED the feds. The states RULE. The feds hate that and try to scotch it at every turn. The “Supremes” usually help them, and by so doing violate the very instrument they were created (by that instrument) to protect. (World Net Daily)
"Gun control" Is A Crime
It gets people killed. If just ONE person in the path of the “Alabama Killer” had been armed and had the will and training to use his/her gun, Michael McClendon would not have been able to kill as many people in his rampage before he was shot to death. It makes no difference whatever whether or not the gun or guns he was using were legally obtained and legally carried, or were bought out of the trunk of an illegal gun seller in an alley somewhere. Someone bent on killing others doesn’t worry about the “legality” of the guns he has. What makes ANYBODY think a law against carrying or owning a gun will stop, or even slow down a criminal whose life is spent breaking the law, is beyond me. All such laws do is give such people a ready supply of “easy targets.” Even people who are directly threatened have trouble getting guns. I remember two stories of women who, threatened by their spouses, went in two different directions; one applied for a gun permit and was told to wait fifteen days to get it. She was shot to death by her boyfriend the next day. The other woman wasn’t so stupid. She bought an illegal gun and, when her ex-husband tried to kill her, she shot him to death. They tried to charge her with carrying a gun illegally, but the jury wasn’t stupid, either. There was no question about self-defense. In Israel, EVERYBODY carries a gun and my favorite “mind-picture” is of an old Jewish lady standing over a Palestinian terrorist, pumping bullets into his dead body. We need such gun laws” here so more of us can stay alive when crazies start shooting up the landscape.(Yahoo News/AP) Sorry, but this URL is outdated. Apparently they have pulled this story.
Freedom FROM Religion
I've posted this before, but it's worth posting again. This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School , Kingston , Tennessee , by school Principal, Jody McLeod "It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country." Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style," and if someone is offended, that's OK. I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex.." If someone is offended, that's OK. I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable! means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem... I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the Goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology.." I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depict people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.."
However, if anyone uses this facility to honor God and to ask Him to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.. This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except God and His Commandments. Nevertheless , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree.. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical... I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression. For this reason, I shall ‘Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's,’ and refrain from praying at this time. "However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank God and ask Him, in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that's not against the law----yet."
One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray. They prayed in the stands.. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box! The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America- the Seat of ‘Justice’ in the ‘one nation, under GOD.’ Somehow, Kingston , Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion. Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains! JESUS said, ‘If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER..’ If you are not ashamed, pass this on.” I’m not big on organized religion, but this is clearly the right way to handle a WRONG decision by the Supreme Court. I'm not one bit ashamed to pass this on. Are you? Thank God we still have some intelligent people running SOME of our schools. (Just common sense)

Obama Sez "GOP Has Nothing"
He continues to LIE and say the Republicans have presented NO PLANS on the health care issue (And I keep telling people about his lies and there is no discernible reaction). He likes to tell that lie on every issue. The TRUTH is, they have presented MANY plans, but he has rejected every one of them out of hand, some without even taking the trouble to read them. Much like Congress does when they pass laws without reading them. You can always depend on what Obama says. You can depend on it being a LIE. I’ve seen some presidential lies before, but Obama’s are the most egregious ever. Unlike George Washington, Obama cannot tell the TRUTH. It’s a constitutional inability with him. He would rather lie than tell the truth, even when the truth would serve better. Some of his lies (and the lies told by his henchmen like Harry Reid) make me physically ILL at the INSULT to my intelligence. (Just common sense)
Frustrating Business
This is really a frustrating business I’m in; trying to alert people to the many ways the liberals are screwing them every day, and which they don’t notice because they aren’t paying attention. There are so MANY scams and schemes operating at any given time, I could sit at this computer typing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and not begin to cover even a few of them. This is why the liberals are winning. There’s NO WAY we can even KNOW about all their scams and schemes, let alone stop them. The only way we can win is to vote these bast-rds out at every opportunity and hope they don’t STEAL the election, anyway. A good example is the “Citizen’s Reinvestment Act of 1976;” you know, the one that destroyed our economy to get Obama and all his cronies elected in 2008? The one that FORCED lenders to loan money to people they KNEW could not repay it? (A la “Atlas Shrugged” and Midas Mulligan, the banker who financed “Galt’s Gulch” when the producers of society started refusing to let themselves be looted any longer and “went on strike.” That’s just ONE of them, and the largest (I hope). This needs to STOP! People need to start “PAYING ATTENTION” to politics. Or politics will RUIN them! (Just common sense)
Discrediting Palin
The Democrats (liberals all) are so predictable, you can use them as a “compass” to see just who frightens them the most by watching who it is they attack the most often, and the most viciously. They call Republicans “mean-spirited,” but there is NOTHING more “mean-spirited” than what they say about Sarah Palin. Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings (A Democrat who was IMPEACHED when he was on the bench for corruption) said, “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks” (How he makes a connection there is beyond me). Aside from the lack of good grammar, that’s a typical unspecified attack. Florida Congressman John Lewis said Palin reminded him of racial segregationist George Wallace (who was a Democrat until he went independent). S. Carolina Democrat Party Chairman Carol Fowler thinks she’s not qualified because she’s never killed a baby (never had an abortion). What a STUPID thought!
Then Barack Obama himself (B. O.) said, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” The left claims to be “tolerant,” but they’re only tolerant of those who “toe their liberal (socialist) line.” Columnist Andrew Sullivan had the temerity to claim (with no proof whatever) that Palin's youngest son was not her own child. A New York Times columnist compared her to a “fatal cancer.” But the only “fatal cancer” in this plot is the New York Times and its pushing (with the Democrat Party) of socialism. In Alaska, Democrats are filing all kinds of unsustainable “ethics complaints” on her, much like they did on former Republican Senate Leader Newt Gingrich (another Republican they hate and fear). All this does is show me they’re “scared to death” of Sarah. If she runs for president in 2016 in her own right (without McCain “gagging” her so she can say what she means), she’ll win in a landslide. Especially if Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (another dependable conservative) is her running mate. (Just common sense)

Fear of Guns
I’ve known many people that are simply “afraid of guns.” This is an illogical fear of an inanimate object that is only dangerous when in the hands of dangerous people. There isn’t mush to be written about fear of guns except to say “it’s all in your head.” If your mind “feeds” the idea that guns are “scary” and themselves to be feared, you will fear them. But if you learn more about them you’ll see they are, like fire, only dangerous if mishandled or misused. If properly handled and used, they can be a strong force for good and can keep you alive. Never fear them. Only fear the fools who misuse them. (Natalie Foster)
Taser "Death"
Twice in recent days people have been shocked and have died. The “quick” judgment is that the shock killed him. That is impossible. Stun guns cannot kill. There isn’t enough AMPERAGE to do so. I’d bet that when the autopsy results are in, it will be discovered that both these people had underlying medical problems that killed them, not the stun gun. Of course, family members will not accept this, as the stun gun is a “convenient target.” They’ll say the medical examiner is “part of the system” and ruled to “save” the cop who stunned him. MEs don’t operate that way. They find what’s there and report it. Maybe it has happened in the past, but it’s not “common.” Medical Examiners are THERE as an “oversight” to the cops, and anybody else who might kill someone, accidentally or on purpose. In one case, the man fell to his death AFTER being stunned, but the press STILL called his death as CAUSED by being “tazed.” I’ll wait until I find out just what killed this man before I blame the stun gun the cop used. (Update: now it has come to light [thanks to Fox News] that he was on a ledge, high above the street when he was shocked, and FELL to his death. He died of “head trauma” caused by his fall. A police lieutenant and the cop who shocked him at a very bad time have been relieved of duty. It was NOT the stun gun that killed him, news reports notwithstanding). Nonetheless, news reports still say this “has brought renewed focus to the use of Tasers by police.” Maybe they ought to teach them not to use them on people precariously perched on ledges, way above the street. One thing is sure: shooting him would not have been better. (Fox News)
