Cozy Bedmates!

Growing up, I saw the news on television or in the newspapers and thought,'this is the way it is.' As I grew up and grew wiser to the ways of our media I saw the bias. I was shocked, to say the least. I then realized that to really know what was going on in the community, state or nation that I needed to educate myself. I took a statistics class which shed a lot of light on polling. This is one of the 'liberal' media's favorite tools of misinformation. For instance, if I ask who someone is going to vote for at an gay-pride rally, I can expect the responses to reflect liberal candidates. It is not brain surgery, which I understand to be quite difficult. Bias? Really? No Way! What has got me now is that they do not even try to hide the bias. The liberal media want Mr. Obama to be the President so bad it visibly pains them to give any time at all to Mccain . When Obama took his Euro tour, the Big three networks each sent one of their biggie anchors to follow

President of the World

After watching and listening to Obama's speech yesterday in Berlin, I found myself musing on a variety of topics. First, I think it is the first time I have ever seen a campaign speech in a foreign country to throngs of adoring fans. He told the crowd that "together" they would all work on a better tomorrow. I don't know about you, but this scares the snot right out of me. Its as though he is running for President of the World. And to listen to his platform and to inspect his record, however small it might be, he just might be. If it was not so scary it would be funny. Obama's campaign is steamrolling right along. It is a mega-hyped media frenzy. The big three networks even sent their three top journalists to follow him around on this European tour. The liberal media is salivating at the feet of Mr. Obama and seem bent on doing anything within their power to better his chances to win the presidency. Global Welfare He pushes a world agenda. Remember his remarks

Oil everywhere but no will to drill

Consumption assumptions: (borrowed from"Born again Redneck") A popular belief is that consumption of crude oil products within this country has risen unabated in recent years. Evidence does not support this assumption.According to the Energy Information Administration — the federal agency that keeps track of petroleum supply, consumption and inventories — the average daily U.S. consumption of oil and products derived from oil was 18.92 million barrels per day (mdb) in 1996, and is about 20 mdb today.Over the past 12 years, our domestic consumption of oil has risen less than 1 percent a year, while our economy has expanded by 75 percent! Obviously, conservation programs in America are working .[...]While U.S. oil consumption has increased very little since 1996, the situation is quite different in other countries. In China, whose economy has grown at a 10 percent annual pace for the past three decades, daily consumption of oil has tripled from 3 mbd in 1994 to more than 9 mbd

Hello, I will be attacking you in 15 minutes.

This is what the Washington DC council must think will happen to let residents of DC fully exorcise their constitutional right to defend themselves with a gun. As soon as the landmark "Heller" decision was handed down, the DC council raced to put in place emergency gun law that effectively keeps the gun ban in place. Kevin Johnson in the USA today wrote, Under terms of the emergency law, passed earlier this week by the D.C. Council, residents must obtain a city-issued handgun permit and may keep handguns only in their homes for self-defense purposes. The permits require every gun owner to pass a written test and vision exam, submit the weapons for ballistic testing and offer proof of residency. The provisions still rank as some of the toughest in the nation. But perhaps the most controversial aspect of the law, gun rights advocates say, mandates that gun owners keep their weapons unloaded, disassembled or secured with trigger locks, unless they face a "threat of imme

Armed Citizens on campus. Pro or Con

How many lives could have been saved if just one Armed Citizen had been present when the Virginia Tech killer started his shooting spree? Why do you think these killers choose schools and the like? It is because we have made them gun-free! It is like shooting fish in a barrel. No one can defend themselves and so these murderous individuals can commit their mayhem with the highest kill count possible. The following article was taken from the official Gun Owners of America website. A link to them is on left. Media Blind To Guns Used To Stop School Killer By Larry Pratt In Utah, according to USA Today (1/14/2002), Bernie Machen , President of the University of Utah, says he's willing to go to court, if necessary, to defend his school's campus gun ban. And he says this despite the fact that Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's legal opinion is that such a campus gun-ban would violate the state's concealed-weapons law. President Machen does not get it. Having people

WHEN in the course of human events........

In the Declaration of Independence, it states(in red), " When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another", Notice it says when. This was not on accident. When means ANY time it becomes necessary. "and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them," Laws of Nature and of Nature's God, not laws of men and given by God. How can anyone read this and say there is no place for God in this country? Some of the problems we are experiencing in our government can be directly attributed to the exclusion of God and morality in it. "Human passions unbridled by morality and religion...would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net." — John Adams " a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which

Pres. Bush Lifts Ban on Oil Drilling

Earlier Today President Bush effectively lifted the ban on domestic oil drilling. The follow ing is his speech in its entirety. Please read it and be educated where the responsibility will now sit and with who. THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Across the country, Americans are concerned about the high price of gasoline. Every one of our citizens who drives to work, or takes a family vacation, or runs a small business is feeling the squeeze of rising prices at the pump. To reduce pressure on prices we must continue to implement good conservation policies, and we need to increase the supply of oil, especially here at home. For years, my administration has been calling on Congress to expand domestic oil production. Unfortunately, Democrats on Capitol Hill have rejected virtually every proposal -- and now Americans are paying at the pump. When members of Congress were home over the Fourth of July recess, they heard a clear message from their constituents: We need to take action now to expan

Tu necessita habla espanol

Do I have your attention? Senator Obama thinks that we as Americans have a responsibility to teach our children Spanish . Now, is that a bad thing? Lets analyze it shall we. What his comment was is as follows. He was commenting on an English Only bill proposal. He stated, and I summarize, "English only?!? Immigrants will learn English eventually. Why do we want to exclude people? When Europeans come to America they speak German, French(who cares) and English. And when Americans go to Europe we can only say"-insert his two word french statement I think- "It is embarrassing .!" So what I want to know is, who the flip cares? I do think it is great when others speak many languages. Our founding fathers spoke many languages. Many self taught themselves Latin , french and the like as well as learning English . What is the difference. Well for one it is our educational system. Our government took it over, without a constitutional right to do so by the wa

A Great Post!

Please direct your attention to the right of your screen and visit the Title of Liberty's most recent post. I just got done reading it and it is very well written and the information supplied is invaluable. It is scary to see how we viewed the world and its moral decay back then. Look where we are now. Scary! "Of the twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them collapsed when they reached the moral state the United States is in now."" — Arnold J Toynbee (d 1975) ""The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality."" — Dante "Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. " — George Washington "the things that will destroy us are politics without principle pleasure without conscience wealth without work knowledge without character business without morality science without humanity and worship without sacrifice.

Thoughts on guns and judges

So, I have been thinking. I know, you're thinking, slow down and breath deeply. Seriously, I've been thinking about the DC Gun ban and what it means to me. And to you for that matter. It is a good thing, for sure, but I worry about what is next. The ban was lifted by only a 5-4 margin. Have our own courts been so caught up in the socialist and liberal propaganda that they cannot judge according to what is stated in the constitution. I am not the brightest person in the world but it does not take a rocket scientist to read and study the founders, the original constitution and the founders own words on the subject of gun ownership. The founders knew it was necessary , as they framed the constitution and its three branches of government, to give the new government the authority to raise an army to defend these new United States from foreign invaders. After Shay's rebellion, these men realized that they needed to be able to defend from mobs within these United States,

Happy BirthDay!

Happy birthday America! Today we celebrate the Declaration of Independence (Actually passed July 2). It is altogether fitting and proper to take a few moments to look back at what that document did. It stated what no other document had up till this time. It is the single most perfect document ever created by man. Greater even than the Constitution. It came forward and placed the power of this new nation in the hands of the people. It was a drastic measure unheard of in the world. It placed the power of this country in the hands of its people, not in the hands of a King. What the men did that signed this Declaration was to risk death. They became traitors to England and if caught would lose everything including their lives. And these were not poor men. Most were prominent men with treasure and prosperity. But they rose up to take the yoke off themselves and their brethren. I feel deeply indebted to everyone of those men and those who would help forge this nation into the

Tribute to a Patriot!

I feel it necessary to pay tribute to a fellow patriot who has gone the way of all the earth. My dear Father-in-Law Ron, who treated me as much like a son as his own awesome boys, died July 3, 2008. I will always treasure his words of wisdom and his 'tell it like it is' attitude. Ron learned to shoot from his father at a young age and passed that down to his own sons. It was always a pleasure to accompany him to the range and shoot off a few reloads. Ron was a straight shooter and had a sense of humor that sometimes only he understood. He was a genuinely happy man, and his smile was contagious . He was a proud father, grandfather, friend, husband, son, and brother. He follows his mother, sister,brother and father in death. I can imagine the great reunion happening now on the other side of the veil. The loss is fresh, the hurt is deep, but the knowledge of our Heavenly Fathers Plan is a comfort that is priceless. Ron, I will miss you, but look to the time when we can

Second Amendment Wins

The US Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling last week in the case of DC v. Heller not only struck down Washington D.C.'s draconian ban on handguns, it unambiguously returned the rights of gun ownership to the individual rather than the governing state, which heretofore had the sole "collective" right to form armed militias. The highly-detailed, 67-page order examines the Second Amendment in-depth and provides clear and convincing support that while gun violence may be a problem, gun ownership shouldn't be. "A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user." — Theodore Roosevelt

Patriots

Kudos first of all to all the first line patriots out there who serve or have served in our armed forces! I am thankful for your service regardless of your political views. So after saying that, I am in shock to hear Gen. Wesley Clark say the things he has about John McCain. He started by saying that John McCain needs to "calm down" about his political views being tied to his military service. But he didn't stop there. He went on to say that flying in Vietnam , getting shot down and being a prisoner of war in no way were credentials for President of The USA. WHAT!?! okay so let me get this strait. When General Clark was running for President, his military background was enough of a qualification for HIM to run. When John McCain runs for office he should not mention his military experience because it is irrelevant and does not qualify HIM. Sounds like a double standard to me. First of all, to run for President of the USA the only requirements are: Natural born citizen of

Racist!

Hey America! You bunch of racists! What, you didnt know you were a racist? Well you are, or you have the potential to be anyhow. That is what you are being set up to be called if you in any way dissagree with, or heaven forbid just plain dont like Barack Hussein Obama. In a recent speech he declared that he knew what the wicked republican machine was going to throw at him. He said they will say he's inexperienced, he's young, and oh, by the way did we mention he's black! WHAT! I am appalled that this young inexperienced black man thinks that I care what color he is! He can be purple, green, yellow, red or blue and that would not matter to me. What scares me is his very leftist liberal views. I wont even call them policies because I dojnt think he has developed any actual policies. In fact I think if he put into policy all of the liberal agendas he has put his support behind, we, as tax-paying Americans, would be burdened with about 65% of our income being taxed by the Feder
