"We LIE!"

But we didn’t. After an American newsman said England’s violent crime rate was more than ours, British politicians screamed “bloody murder.” Then they admitted he was right. That their crime rate outstrips ours in many areas. Mostly because carrying guns is effectively banned there. Even the cops, for the most part, don't have guns. But they're getting smarter slowly and starting to arm some of them. But criminals do not obey laws, so they keep their guns. They buy them out of the trunks of cars in alleys and on the street from illicit gun dealers, whose business only gets better where anti-gun laws are tight. Australia learned that, when they effectively banned guns in the hands of honest people and their crime rate went up 300%. (Reason Magazine)

"It's All A Lie!"

That’s Democrat Harry Reid’s opinion of ALL the negative stories about Obama. No, Obama AND Hillary DIDN’T “conspire” to get Ambassador Stevens and three other embassy staff members murdered. No, Obama and Hillary didn’t conspire to LIE to the American people by blaming an obscure video thus, keeping the REAL reason secret to maintain his façade that the Islamic terrorists were “beaten.” NO, the IRS did NOT “target” conservative groups when they applied for tax-free status while “fast-tracking” liberal groups, including one run by Obama’s brother. No, Obama did NOT approve of two separate and distinct “gun-running” schemes into Mexico, running guns to the Mexican drug cartels. I could go on and on, but I won’t continue to list the REAL scandals in Obama’s administration that Reid asks us to ignore by labeling them false when they are VERY real. We need to get rid of this criminal pretending to be an honest politician. Right along with that other criminal in the White House. (Eagle Rising)

Owning Guns Is Now "A Crime?"

"Police in Howard County, Maryland conducted a nighttime, no-knock raid on the home of Mike Hasenei, whom they claimed they suspected of stealing items from two police cars burglarized last month. They found nothing, but they did shoot and kill Hasenei’s Australian cattle dog. The police say the no-knock raid and tactical entry were necessary because Hasenei is “a (legal) gun-owner.” Apparently now a legal gun owner scares the hell out of the cops. It’s a good thing he realized they were cops and didn’t come downstairs with a gun in his hand (his right, in his own home) or they’d have shot and killed him as they’ve done countless times before; one specific time I remember is when they trumped up something to allow them to raid the home of a man who owned land the sheriff coveted. They “negotiated” with his widow and bought the property “for a song.” Personally, I don’t think his being a (legal) gun owner should have made ANY difference and the judge should not have issued a “no-knock warrant” based on that. Doing so just adds to the feeling that we’re entering a “jack-booted thug” period. By the way. There doesn’t seem to be any mention of whether or not any stolen items were found. Am I asking too much? (The Agitator)

This Is "Child Protection"

“In September, an HSLDA [Home School Legal Defense Association –RT] member family in Sinton was visited by a social worker who had a list of allegations an anonymous tipster had called in. The list included that the family homeschools, that the children are sent to bed ‘really early’ and do not play with neighbor kids, and that there are firearms in the home.” All things that are legal to intelligent persons. In this case this “dastardly family” sent their kids to bed too early and they must be punished! They also homeschooled their kids and had firearms in the house! (Last I heard, there was a constitutional protection for “guns in the house” and homeschooling was also legal) That’s the opinion of the “child protectors.” How stupid ARE they? They also punish parents for “grounding” their children for “acting out,” and for other things parents do to be able to control their children. Thus, they “send a message” to your kids that their parents have NO authority over them and they can do as they wish. That all they have to do is “drop a dime (now a quarter)” on their parents if they don’t like the way they’re being punished and the “child protectors” will take care of it. Then, when they predictably get in trouble, they (the “child protectors”) want to blame the parents. This will ultimately destroy parental authority over their children. But that’s what the “child protectors” are after. Then their parents cannot object when their schools brainwash them to believe socialism is a “good thing” (as one of my nephews told me one day). (HSLDA)

GOP Squandering An Opportunity

They have one of the best opportunities today they have ever had to send the Democrats packing , But they’re ignoring it and turning it away. That opportunity is the Tea Parties. Instead of welcoming this movement with open arms as intelligent people would do, they ostracize it every chance they get. The Tea Parties were responsible for the loss to the Democrats in 2012 of 720 seats all over the country. If they combined forces, they could CRUSH the Democrats. But because they’re AFRAID of the Tea Parties, they spurn them, to their own detriment. Obama’s popularity is at its lowest point ever in the history of presidential popularity, but the GOP does nothing with that. Furthermore, the “separation of the three houses of government” is “going away” because the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch are “LAYING DOWN” and allowing Obama to “rule” as if he was the ONLY authority. The Founders never envisioned a situation like this. They thought the three branches would ALWAYS fight to keep their power and not “cede it” to such as Obama. And as long as they DO “lay down,” Obama can get away with murder; literally. (Just common sense)

Sponsorship IS "Cost-Effetctive"

 The news media asks General Motors why it is able to spend a million dollars to sponsor the Texas State Fair in a “down economy.” This illustrates a complete ignorance of how business works. They don’t do these sponsorships as “charity.” They do it to get their name out to as many people as possible, as cheaply as possible. GM says it would have to sponsor as many as a dozen other events to get their name out to as many people as they do in just a few days by sponsoring this one event. They’re not GIVING this money away. They’re spending it to improve their business, just as they spend money for TV ads—and for the same reason. If you don’t advertise, you’re going to go out of business. I sure hope Obama doesn’t start barring such sponsorships in a short-sighted effort to save money. That would be disastrous. But it is something Obama would do because it hurts private enterprise. (Just common sense)

American Flag "Offensive?"

AMERICAN FLAG “OFFENSIVE?” An apartment manager is banning American flags ANYWHERE within the complex because it would “offend” some people (Muslims, of course). His city says they can’t do anything because this is private property. Banning the American flag offends ME. But he doesn’t care about that; I'm not a Muslim. I care. This is OUR country, and it’s OUR flag. You can bet they won’t ban THEIR flags in other countries (particularly those under Sharia Law) because it might “offend” Americans. I'm getting real tired of ignorant people who "knuckle under" to Muslims because what they do might "offend" them. Especially on such things as the flag of our country. "I understand that in some condo complexes and gated communities that there are restrictions on certain things– such as needing permission to install a flag pole. I don’t agree with this particular restriction but if you join a community and you agree to abide by the rules and one of those rules is a restriction on flagpoles that is just the "way it goes." I would not join such a community under any circumstances. I will NOT allow ANYBODY to dictate what I may do on my property. As one commenter said: “If American flags offend you, don't come to America.” (America's Watchtower) No connection to any religion.

They Wonder Why They're Dying

The Post Office is dying, and they’re helping. The Post Office is today’s “buggy whip maker” and are fast becoming superfluous to everybody’s needs. UPS and FedEx have taken over most of the package delivery business, and even some of the delivery of letters. They DO retain SOME letter delivery, but it’s becoming too costly. Sending a letter is just not worth 50 cents, which is almost what it costs today (They'll be there, soon). Their business is getting sparse, so what do they do? They raise the price again, and wonder why more and more people have stopped using them. Are they really that stupid? Apparently so. I expect them to go for yet another rate increase soon, while further reducing service by closing Post Offices on Saturday. When somebody comes up with a way of sending letters with other stuff in them without them, they’re dead meat. And they don’t know it. The only thing they have left is their monopoly on delivering messages. All some politician has to do is lift this monopoly and they will go the way of the do-do bird. But they keep raising their prices and reducing their service. Their incompetence reigns supreme. (Just common sense)

"Freedom FROM Religion"

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)

"Taxing the Rich"

That’s what we’re doing. “The Congressional Budget Office joined the IRS in releasing tax numbers for 2005, and part of the news is that the richest 1% paid about 39% of all income taxes that year. The richest 5% paid a tad less than 60%, and the richest 10% paid 70%. These tax shares are all ..” So what is this crap about how we need to tax the rich more to pay for Obama’s “flights of fancy” he calls “essential programs?” the rich pay most of the taxes anyway! The “poor” (the lowest 50%) of society pay NO TAXES at all! So where do the liberals get it that they are being victimized? The government tells such lies every day and they have become accepted as truth. Like the idea that federal law TRUMPS state and local laws. the Constitution specifically states otherwise. (Wall Street Journal)

Kill Them Because They're Doing Better

An immigrant from China who never bothered to learn English murdered an entire family because they “were doing better than me.” He couldn’t figure out why, even though he spoke only Mandarin after ten years in the United States, and never bothered to learn English. So he killed a mother and her children. I’ve always maintained that people who come here to LIVE, should ALWAYS learn the language. Why should they limit their possibilities by not being able to speak the language of the country in which they LIVE? Some fools will call me a racist for this, but they are fools and what they say doesn't concern me. It’s only common sense for you to learn the language of the country in which you live. If I were to move permanently to China (for what reason, I don’t know), I WOULD learn their language because I would want to be able to communicate with them. (Mail.com News)

Another School Shooting

Every school in the land is a “gun-free zone.” Which means it’s illegal to bring a gun into the school, at any time, unless you are a policeman. But crazies who shoot up schools don’t care about the law. They don’t obey laws that say they can’t take a gun into that school. I predict that the “anti-gun Nazis” will demand even more restrictive anti-gun laws as a result of the shooting on February 23, 2010 at the Jefferson County, Colorado middle school, even though such laws NEVER do anything to stop such people from shooting up a school and, in fact, make such shootings even more possible and likely by assuring the shooter there will be nobody there armed and willing to stop them. There has never been a shooing at a gun show because a potential shooter KNOWS there are guns and people willing to use them in self defense there. A uniformed, armed policeman won’t work because they KNOW he is armed and can take him out first, before anybody is ready.

I’m not suggesting they let the students be armed. I AM suggesting that teachers and staff who have a concealed carry permit be allowed to carry their guns into the school specifically so a potential shooter cannot be sure there will be no one there to stop their rampages. And I suggest those teachers and staff be ENCOURAGED to get a gun and a carry permit so there WILL be someone there who can protect these defenseless students. The same holds true elsewhere. ANYBODY who can qualify for a carry permit should be allowed to carry his gun into what is now a no-gun zone. That way, illegally armed criminals cannot ever be SURE they can shoot people at will with nobody able to defend themselves. Anti-gun laws just do NOT work, so why do we continue to make more and more, every time somebody shoots someone with an illegal gun? (Fox News)

Children Out of Control

In New York, bands of children are beating up on random people and the ”authorities” are upset about it and want to “hold the parents responsible.” The “child protectors” will PUT YOU IN PRISON if you so much as “raise your hand” to your children, and when they predictably get in trouble, they want to hold YOU responsible. I think the “child protection services” (no matter what name they go under) should be held responsible for making it impossible to control your children. I would never “beat” a child. But corporal punishment should NEVER be removed from consideration. If a child KNOWS he/she will NEVER suffer it, he/she will be uncontrollable. In my case, I used mild corporal punishment on my children early in their lives so they’d know I would do it. In their later childhood it was not necessary BECAUSE they knew I would do it.

But you can’t convince these “child protectors” of that. They have “dirty minds” and they think ANY corporal punishment is “beating” the child. They think ANY “touching” of a child is sex abuse. They overreact as a matter of course. They will “swoop in” and REMOVE the child as a FIRST OPTION at the slightest hint of physical punishment. Then they’ll tell the child (if they’re allowed to return home at all) that all they have to do is “drop a dime” on their parents if they EVER feel they’re being “abused,” and they’ll “take care of it.” So next thing that happens, the kids tell you they’ll “tell CPS” if you do so much as put them on restriction, and the “child protectors” will come out and harass you, maybe even put you in prison. This abuse of the system has GOT to stop before they ruin our youth entirely. (New York Examiner)

Voter ID "Controversy"

It shouldn’t even BE a controversy, but the Democrats are “losing their minds” over it. They KNOW they can’t win elections without voter fraud and voter ID makes it much more difficult to steal elections. They SAY there IS no voter fraud, but how can they even SAY that with no means to prove there is, OR isn’t? You have to show picture ID in order to do many things in our society, INCLUDING attending many of their own meetings. But to do one of the most important things you can do, VOTE, you don’t have to prove who you are. In some places you need a photo ID to use a pubic TOILET; but not to vote. Because to require photo ID is to get rid of a MAJORITY of Democrat votes, since Democrats could not vote more than once any more. They SAY it’s a “violation of the rights of poor people.” But most people, poor OR rich, already HAVE photo IDs to use in doing other things, and photo ID is cheap to obtain. So everybody CAN “afford it.” In some places, it’s FREE. (The Blaze)

Interpol "Wakes Up"

Many anti-gun fools think the way to self-defense is to DISARM ourselves. But when we do, we make it EASY for Islamic terrorists to come here and kill us. Interpol now says this: .“For many years,” they noted, “the anti-gun establishment has been putting forth the idea that gun control is necessary for public safety. During an Interpol conference in Cartegena, Colombia, they indicated that in an open society an armed citizenry can protect people from terrorist attacks.” This points out something that anti-gun fools can never understand: that an armed populace can ENSURE self-defense. The Japanese realized this during WWII when they refused to attack the American mainland “because there would be a gun behind every bush.” Some liberals say this is a “generalization” and not right. But just the IMAGE of that was enough to keep the Japanese away from the American mainland. We should maintain that image and project it to Islam. While giving our citizens the right to defend themselves from  domestic AND foreign enemies rather than present these vipers with “easy targets.’ (Eurasia Review)

They'll Try, Anyway

The most recent mass killing, involving a woman and her children, ages 1 to 7, didn’t involve a gun. But the anti-gun freaks will try anyway. I don’t know how they’ll try and twist things to blame guns, but I just know they will. That’s their “modus operandi.” They may try to blame this on “the will to kill” because of “the ready availability of guns and other weapons.” I don’t know what impels these fools, but they have an unreasoning FEAR of guns and a hatred for them, even though without a human holding them, they cannot harm anyone. They’re inanimate objects. There have always been such people around, even back in that vaunted “wild west,” but they hadn’t gained as much power as they have, now. And they only “held sway” in the big Eastern cities where everybody lived in each other's pockets, but not in the West. Westerners thought they were fools, and they were right. They’ve had an unreasoning fear of guns since the day the first gun was made. (Mail.com)

Obama Decimating the Military

He doesn’t seem to understand that we are AT WAR. He seems to think Islamic terrorists are a “minor inconvenience,” even though they are working to kill “unbelievers” all over the world, including in the United States. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in New York in 2001, even if that success WAS a complete accident. They stole four airplanes filled with innocent people and used them to murder more than 3,000 other innocent people (All they really hoped for were the people on the airplanes and a few people in the buildings. They were as surprised as anybody when those buildings collapsed.). I’m sure they have any number of other “secret cells” in our country, just waiting for an order from whoever replaces Osama or whoever replaced him when we kill him. I don’t think he simply doesn’t understand that we are at war; he knows it, and he is ON THE SIDE OF THE ENEMY and always has been. The people who count won’t accept the fact that he is a Muslim AND a communist. NO? He was born to Muslims who were communists, raised by communists who were Muslims, MENTORED by communists all his life. How could he NOT be a communist? And as to being a Muslim, it’s like being a Marine: once a Muslim, always a Muslim.

They work HARD to brainwash ALL Muslims, and I’m sure they did no less with Obama. How did he come out of nowhere and become our president? The Democrats wanted Hillary in 2008, but he suddenly appeared and just “swept her aside,” and she didn’t really mind. Not enough to refuse to be his Secretary of State and collude with him in the murders in Benghazi. Where did he come from? Who was his sponsor? George Soros? Or somebody like him? Somebody “behind the scenes,” but with a LOT of power wanted him to be president, and president he became. This is what America doesn’t understand, and everything he does weakens us: financially, politically, ethically, and militarily. Soon we will not be able to withstand those who wish to “take us over.” Kruschev was right. We’re going to “fall into the hands of the collectivists like a ripe plum.” Not in his lifetime, and maybe not COMMUNISM, per se; but communism is but ONE kind of COLLECTIVISM and it is alive and well and growing apace in America. Somebody better wake up, fast, and put a stop to its advance, as well as to Obama. I don’t mean kill him, just put a stop to his schemes. Or we will be the next “Soviet Union,” under Sharia Law. (Just common sense)

Drag A $100 BIll through A Trailer Park"

And see what you get. That’s a statement made famous by James Carville, that alien-looking baldy who supports anything Bill Clinton and any other Democrat did, even if it’s illegal. But it would better apply to “schools of journalism.” George Soros, that “behind the scenes” meddler in our society, who is responsible for the economic collapse of FIVE government economies, gives a LOT of money to various journalism schools, and it would surprise me if he had not put pressure on journalism textbook publishers to include things only HE wants in their texts. Which is most likely a main reason that a full 90% (or more) “journalists” are liberals and push that liberalism in what they write. He literally DOES “drag hundred dollar bills through journalism schools and makes whores of the journalists they graduate. (American Thinker)

Six More Words

Former Supreme Court Justice Stevens, in his new book, suggests adding six words to the First Amendment to stop misreading and misrepresenting it. Those words are, “when serving in a militia.” That suggests that they need to be IN an “organized militia” to be able to carry a gun, which is, in itself, a “misreading or misinterpretation” of the Second Amendment. He says they should not be allowed to be armed UNLESS they are “members” of an “organized militia.” Of course, that’s WRONG. At the time, ALL AMERICANS were considered to be part of a “militia” and subject to being “called up” in time of troubles to repulse invaders. There WAS no such thing as an ”organized militia” at the time, so they could NOT have been thinking this way. At the time, everybody had guns and they were a regular tool used, not only for self-defense, but to put food on the table. They knew not about an “organized militia” and that was NOT their meaning. So it’s a good thing Stevens is now retired and cannot impose his damned fool fantasies on the Supreme Court any longer. (The Blaze)

Politicians Are "Quivering Mad"

They passed an unconstitutional law requiring the “registration” of all guns THEY deem to be “assault weapons” but which are not well described (very loosely) in the law and are thus able to be “defined” by the cops as “assault weapons” on the spot, at their whim and non-compliance is near 99%. The politicians who passed this law are STUNNED that so many Americans would “violate the law.” What they don’t understand is that, as one Supreme Court Justice once said, “An unconstitutional law does not exist and need not be obeyed.” I’d like to see them try and imprison 99% of the gun owners in Connecticut. If they want to try, they’d better get right on building a lot of new prisons and hiring lots of new prison guards. (Bearing Arms)
