Senator Scutari's Stupid Mistake

"The margin between a child's stupid mistake and a tragic ending is far too thin," said Sen. Nicholas Scutari.

Scutari, D-Union, introduced the proposal in late June and plans to push it when the Legislature reconvenes late this year. He said the bill stems from an incident in a Union Township where four students were suspended after bringing a cap gun to school.

"We need to stress to our children that guns are not toys, but deadly weapons which should always be regarded with extreme caution and handled with respect," Scutari said. "Restricting access to imitation firearms will help to drive that point home."

Gun rights advocates plan to fight the bill.

"It misses the mark because it demonizes toys instead of criminal behavior," said Scott Bach, president of the New Jersey Association of Rifle and Pistol Clubs, which is the National Rifle Association's New Jersey organization.

If the measure is enacted, New Jersey would join several states that have restricted access to realistic toy guns to minors.

The Senator's use of the term "stupid mistake" is a stupid mistake on the Senator's part. The statement implies that the child has been taught proper handling procedures, but is incapable of understanding them. When children cause accidents with guns it is not because they are stupid, but because they are ignorant of safe gun handling rules.

The Hillary Hypocrisy

"This commutation sends the clear signal that in this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice."
- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.

Here is the Department of Justice list of those Bill Clinton pardoned and what they had been convicted of. To hear Hillary gripe about Bush's commutation of jail time for Scooter Libby, you would think Bill had never pardoned anyone. The hypocricy of the Clintons knows no bounds because they have no conscience what so ever.

Here are Bill's reasons for giving the pardons.

A Reminder on the Fourth of July

This is a gentle reminder to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi that you do not run this country. You were elected to serve, not be served. It would be wise if you remembered this. The American people can only be pushed so far and then they WILL fight back. As you deal with the Iraq situation, keep this in mind at all times; the American people want to win. We must win and will not give in to your planned socialist paradise. Congress has no legal authority to run the war. Keep your noses out of it.

"Somewhere in our growing up we began to be aware of the meaning of days and with that awareness came the birth of patriotism. July Fourth is the birthday of our nation. I believed as a boy, and believe even more today, that it is the birthday of the greatest nation on earth... In recent years, however, I've come to think of that day as more than just the birthday of a nation. It also commemorates the only true philosophical revolution in all history. Oh, there have been revolutions before and since ours. But those revolutions simply exchanged one set of rules for another. Ours was a revolution that changed the very concept of government. Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people. We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should. Happy Fourth of July."
-- Ronald Reagan

Blacks too 'Emotional' to Obey Rules

Why blacks contribute about half of all prison inmates when they are only 13 percent of the U.S. population is subject to much speculation. Some specialists blame poverty or lack of opportunity. Others say police concentrate in poor urban areas because street crimes such as drug dealing and armed robbery are more visible, and residents there demand more police protection.

Now we know why. So many of them are in our jails, because, according to Tavis Smiley, "blacks are just too emotional to obey the rules."

See WND article HERE.

As to the criminal and adulterer in the mug shot, obviously a black too emotional to obey the rules: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

Don't Fight Back, Submit

It seems the friends and family of the bad guys, think it is wrong that one of the victims could defend himself and shoot the two armed perps. A lesson learned perhaps.

Police in Plantation, Florida, say ex-Marine within his rights to shoot armed robbers in Subway

South Florida Sun Sentinel, 6/29/2007, Akilah Johnson, Andrew Tran and Juan C. Ortega

Some are calling a former U.S. Marine a hero for shooting two men — killing one — during the botched robbery of a sandwich shop in Plantation. But the men's friends and family want to know how he could gun them down and not be charged.

John Lovell had just finished dinner at about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday when, Plantation police say, two men armed with guns rushed inside a Subway shop and demanded cash. After robbing the store, the men turned to Lovell. They wanted his money, police said.

But like his attackers, Lovell was armed.

The retired military man opened fire, shooting dead Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale, and critically injuring Fredrick Gadson, 21, of Fort Lauderdale.

Lovell, 71, of Plantation, has a valid concealed weapons permit and is not expected to be charged in the shooting, said police spokesman Detective Robert Rettig. Gadson, however, faces multiple felony charges that could include murder, he said. Under Florida law, anyone who commits a felony such as armed robbery resulting in a death can be held accountable for the capital offense.

"He feared for his life," Rettig said of Lovell. "And if he's in fear for his life, then he has a right to defend himself, even if it means severe bodily injury or death."

Florida law gives people the right of "self-defense without the duty to retreat." That means individuals can use deadly force virtually anywhere to prevent death or serious injury.

Lovell could not be reached for comment despite calls and visits to his home.

Let's Limit the First Amendment

They can't compete on a level field so they want to stifle the competition by going after conservative talk radio, an act that would appear to be especially unconstitutional as it pertains to political freedom of speech, exactly the reason for the First Amendment.

The reason that liberal radio can't compete is that no one wants to listen to their anti-American lies and defeatist drivel. Besides, they play to an audience that has no better ideas to put forward than the radio host, so there is nothing to talk about to hold the audience's attention, which is limited in duration to begin with.

Air America, the liberal and most highly hyped radio station in the past few years couldn't make it and they had no competition in their field except for NPR. Simply put, no one wanted to listen and for that reason no sponsors were forthcoming.

Let's put the blame where the blame is due and not on conservative radio where the liberal audience is about 0-3 listeners. Air America SHOULD have been doing a landslide business as the only kid on the block, but to draw an audience you have to have something interesting to talk about, not just bashing Conservatives.

Heads Buried in the Sand

While questions continue to arise about the alleged plot to blow up a fuel pipeline beneath JFK Airport and surrounding neighborhoods, some are questioning why New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg hasn't had a louder voice since the plot was foiled on Saturday. On Monday, Bloomberg finally weighed in, but his response was not what some would have expected.

"There are lots of threats to you in the world. There's the threat of a heart attack for genetic reasons. You can't sit there and worry about everything. Get a life," he said.

That "What, me worry?" attitude pretty much sums up Bloomberg's advice to New Yorkers on the terror plot. As far as he was concerned, the professionals were on it, so New Yorkers shouldn't let it tax their brains.

"You have a much greater danger of being hit by lightning than being struck by a terrorist," he added.

This is very much the attitude of German Jews prior to 1938. Replace the word "terrorist" with "Hitler" and that is todays head in the sand response.

Hillary Shows Her True Colors

During her Senate campaign in 2000, candiate Clinton had this to say: "I am a big fan of the social policies that you find in Europe."

Winston Churchill said, "Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." Is that what she is a fan of?

No other country in the world can even come close to to the prosperity and opportunities that exist here.

More recently, Hillary Clinton outlined a broad economic vision Tuesday (5/29/07), saying it's time to replace an "on your own" society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity (ie. Socialism).

The Democratic senator said what the Bush administration touts as an ownership society really is an "on your own" society that has widened the gap between rich and poor.

"I prefer a 'we're all in it together' society," she said. "I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none."

That means pairing growth with fairness."Fairness doesn't just happen. It requires the right government policies."

Apparently Mrs. Clinton failed to read the Declaration of Independence, which states: "WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness..." Note it says "pursuit" of happiness. Happiness is NOT guaranteed, you must track it down and acquire it on your own. "Oh, Pres. Bush must be correct, it IS an 'on your own" society. It is NOT the government's resposibility to supply it. When governments try to supply equal happiness for all the result is always, as Winston Churchill said, equal misery for all. And do you believe that she really believes, "special privileges for none?" Last I heard, she was still claiming to be a Democrat. Hillary is one of those who confuse the Bill of Rights, with the Bill of No Rights.

"YOUTHS" Blamed for Crime Increase

From the AP, May 15, 2007

WASHINGTON - Increasing violence among teenagers and other youths appears to have contributed to a nationwide crime spike, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

Gangs and gun violence are partly to blame for the rise in crime that is on pace to increase for the second straight year, says Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in a prepared speech. In response, the Justice Department is pledging to spend nearly $50 million this year to combat gangs and guns, and will push Congress to enact new laws to let the federal government better investigate and prosecute violent crime.

FBI data from last fall show violent crimes, including murders and robberies, rose by 3.7 percent nationwide during the first six months of 2006. Those findings came on top of a 2.2 percent crime hike in 2005 — the first increase since 2001.

(The following comments are mine.) NOTE: This tiny increase, 5.9% over two years, is because law abiding Americans still own guns and can fight back. In the U.K. where guns are illegal, in the four years from 1999 to 2003, the overall violent crime rate is up 118%.

Note also, that there isn’t a single word in this article, telling us that these “teenagers and other youths” are nearly all in this country illegally. The “18th Street” and “MS-13” gangs are made up almost entirely of illegals and they aren’t all “youths.” This is just more left wing PC crap designed to mislead mainstream America and place the blame on "guns" as well as "youths" of undetermined ethenicity.

Another Not So Ethical Democrat

Rep. Jim McDermott had no right to disclose the contents of an illegally taped telephone call involving House Republican leaders a decade ago, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday. In a 5-4 opinion, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that McDermott, a Washington Democrat and a member of The Democratic Socialists of America, should not have given reporters access to the taped telephone call.

McDermott's offense was especially egregious since he was a senior member of the House ethics committee, the court said.

When he became a member of the ethics panel, McDermott "voluntarily accepted a duty of confidentiality that covered his receipt and handling of the ... illegal recording. He therefore had no First Amendment right to disclose the tape to the media," Judge A. Raymond Randolph wrote on behalf of the court. Four judges agreed with him.

The ruling upholds a previous decision ordering McDermott to pay House Minority Leader John Boehner (news, bio, voting record), R-Ohio, more than $700,000 for leaking the taped conversation. The figure includes $60,000 in damages and more than $600,000 in legal costs.

Boehner was among several GOP leaders heard on the December 1996 call, which involved ethics allegations against then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. Gingrich, who was heard on the call telling Boehner and others how to react to allegations, was later fined $300,000 and reprimanded by the House.

McDermott leaked the tape to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The New York Times, which published stories on the case in January 1997.

U.K. Bans Baked Beans

A special session of Parliament was called today after actor Hugh Grant used a container of baked beans to defend himself from a paparazzi attack. Baked beans are just the latest item to be banned in a effort to bring violent crime under control in the U.K. It was hoped that the recent banning of Star Trek phasers would end the violence, but sadly not. Self defense in the U.K. is illegal and rather than the photographer being charged, Mr Grant was hauled off to jail and charged with assault with a cooked food stuff.

The U.K. is now looking for a spot in their annual crime statistics reporting where this type of crime would fit. I can suggest a place where it MIGHT fit.

Why Won’t the Left Defend Flyers
of the American Flag the Way
They Defend Burners of the Flag?

THE FLAGThe Daily Herald, a newspaper covering central Utah, ran an editorial recently that makes a great point; a point of common sense totally lost on liberals.

Air Force veteran Howard Capito was ordered to remove an American flag by the self-loathing Americans at his condo association - that is, until someone pointed out that a new federal law prohibits them from taking that action.

The editorial pointed out, that federal law aside, Capito should be protected by the First Amendment. Since the Supreme Court found that American flag burning activities carried out by self-loathing Americans are constitutionally protected under the First Amendment as freedom of “expression,” shouldn’t the expression of flying the flag be equally protected?

Of course it should, but don’t expect help from the defenders of tyranny at the ACLU.

The Senate's No. 3 Democrat said Sunday that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should resign because he is putting politics above the law. Sen. Charles Schumer cited the FBI's illegal snooping into people's private lives and the Justice Department's firing of federal prosecutors.

Bill Clinton fired ALL of the federal prosecutors, not just eight, and replaced them with his own toadies and, as I remember, there wasn't a single complaint from Charles Schumer, or any other Democrat for that matter.

Schumer, D-N.Y., said Gonzales repeatedly has shown more allegiance to President Bush than to citizens' legal rights since taking his job in early 2005.

You Madam, Are No John Kennedy

HILL: "I'M THE JFK OF 2008"
VOWS TO BEAT ODDS
By MAGGIE HABERMAN Post Correspondent
March 11, 2007

NASHUA, N.H. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton invoked the campaign of the nation's lone Catholic president, John Kennedy, last night as she talked about her challenge in becoming the first female commander-in-chief.

"He was smart, he was dynamic, he was inspiring and he was Catholic. A lot of people back then [1960] said, 'America will never elect a Catholic as president,' " the White House hopeful told the New Hampshire Democrats' 100 Club fund-raiser here.

"But those who gathered here almost a half century ago knew better," she said. "They believed America was bigger than that and Americans would give Sen. John F. Kennedy a fair shake, and the rest, as they say, is history."

Noting women are "the majority" of voters and are in the workforce in "record numbers," she added, "So when people tell me 'a woman can never be president,' I say, we'll never know unless we try."

Kennedy's name is most often invoked by supporters of Clinton's main Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama, usually comparing their charisma.

Clinton also rapped the White House, accusing President Bush of creating "invisible Americans" across the country.

"We no longer have a president who puts people first," she said, citing veterans waiting for treatment, first responders, single moms needing child care, the middle class and the working poor. "You are invisible to this administration." Earlier, at a stop at the Swan Chocolate shop in Nashua, Clinton defended her support for a senate resolution for a potential March 2008 end date to the Iraq war.

"What we have done now is to set a goal, a goal to try to move the president to understand what needs to be done in order to change the mission in Iraq and begin to bring our troops home," said Clinton, who's been criticized for her vote authorizing force in Iraq in 2002.

"I see this as absolutely consistent with what many of us are trying to do which is to reign in the president and prevent the escalation of troops that he is pursuing. We hope it will work."

Also yesterday, the Democratic White House front-runner had a private meeting with Gov. John Lynch and well-known former state Sen. Mary Louise Hancock in Concord.

maggie.haberman@nypost.com

What an insult to the memory of John Kennedy. Hillary believes that everyone is equal, but that the elite, like herself, are more equal. In comparing herself to Kennedy she said, "He was smart, he was dynamic, he was inspiring...". However in her case, she is cunning, driven and morally deficient. ..."she talked about her challenge in becoming the first female commander-in-chief," a commander-in-chief who's first command would be to surrender. Kennedy sent troops to Viet Nam, Hillary will pull them out of Iraq.

The following quote was her politically correct statement before President Bush kicked off "Operation Iraqi Freedom."

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

ILLEGALS vs. INSURGENTS
CORRUPTION AND MORE CORRUPTION

As each day goes by I become more convinced that our government is drowning in its own excrement. Our government is where the s**t is happening. The Republicans are in the clutches of big business and the globalists and the Democrats are in the clutches of Islam and the environmentalists.

The bleeding heart liberals are great at telling us what we want. I don’t know about you, but none of them have ever asked me what I wanted. They say we want to surrender in Iraq by bringing our troops home, before they have completed their task. A poll just yesterday showed that 57% of Americans actually want us to stay the course. They tell us about all the American casualties and that the American military is ill equipped and that fact is getting them killed. However, more Americans are being murdered by illegal aliens right here in the U.S. than by Islamic insurgents in Iraq.

From March 3, 2003 to February 22, 2007, the number of deaths in Iraq, are reported to be 3,184. In that same period of time, illegal aliens have murdered 8,632 Americans, something that neither, the Republicans, nor the Democrats seem to care about. There are 267,000 illegals in American prisons for 1,300,000 crimes ranging from drugs to rape and murder.

Why are both parties ignoring what is going on at the borders and pretending there is no problem? Why are they complaining about a four-year total of those killed in action in Iraq that is no more than two week’s worth of those killed in action during World War II? There is something very wrong going on in this country and we the people must do something about it if the politicians won’t.

LET NON-CITIZENS VOTE: ACTIVISTS

By FRANKIE EDOZIEN
February 20, 2007 New York Post

Immigrant-rights activists yesterday renewed their push to allow legal non-citizens to vote in the Big Apple.

A bill that would grant permanent residents and other legal immigrants the right to vote in municipal elections has been stalled in the City Council since last year.

"More than 50,000 adult noncitizen taxpayers in those two districts are disenfranchised by citizenship voting laws," said Cheryl Wertz, of New Immigrant Community Empowerment, referring to today's special election for council seats in Brooklyn and Staten Island.

Councilman Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn), the sponsor of the Voting Rights Restoration Act, said that years ago, when immigrants were mostly European, they had voting rights.

"Then when the complexion of immigrants changes, then all of a sudden, the laws change," he said.

Ron Hayduk, a CUNY professor, concurred, saying immigrants voted in national elections from 1776 through 1926.

The three paragraphs in green, just above are lies and distortions of the loony left. Tell a lie often enough and it may become the truth. This was a favorite ploy of Nazi, Josef Goebbels. Goebbels felt that the people were "primitive" and therefore the lies must be kept simple and repetitive.

The Constitution says that anyone living in the United States, natural born or not, became citizens when the Constitution was ratified (1791) and all could vote. However, from that time on, the Constitution states in the 14th, 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th amendments that ONLY citizens of the United States, natural born, or naturalized, are eligible to vote. At no time, anywhere in the U.S. have non-citizens been able to vote legally.

Well I'm Confused and
Not For The First Time

There are two reports circulating as to whether the Border Patrol agents reported the shooting incident that occurred after the stop of a drug smuggler.

A Department of Homeland Security memo says the Jose Compean reported the shooting to his superiors.

A second, anonymous "federal" report, says he did not.

At this point I am inclined to go with the referenced DHS memo rather than the anonymous one. Why? See the report just below.

Regardless of which report is correct, failing to report the shooting is not a crime, it is simply an infraction of Border Patrol procedures and the penalty is a five day suspension without pay, not eleven years in jail. There are people out of control with something to hide behind this fiasco.

The Mysterious Gun Show Loophole

The ever present and mysterious “gun show loophole” is a favorite among those who want to apply evermore meaningless laws to a subject already over burdened with useless oversight. The “unidentified” loophole can become anything the legislators want it to be. The gun grabbers will always have a loophole that needs closing.

To set the record straight, the current “loophole” is the fabricated, or imagined, ability of criminals to purchase guns, at gun shows, that they would be unable to purchase through a gun shop.

However, all local, state and federal laws applicable to gun shops also apply to gun shows. Dealers at gun shows, at least in the State of Washington, must be licensed dealers and all sales must conform to state laws and regulations. If you purchase a gun, there is a required five-day waiting period so the dealer can get a background check performed. The only exception to this is if the purchaser has a CCW (concealed carry) permit. After the CCW permit holder completes all the required forms, they can take immediate delivery of the purchased gun, because they have already had a background check performed by the issuing law enforcement agency.

There are a number of Democrat, Washington State, legislators who included in their campaign promises, efforts to close the gun show “loophole.” Unfortunately, most voters today have no idea what that means, but think it must be good if it will keep criminals from purchasing a gun. Hogwash! There is NO gun show loophole in the State of Washington and criminals are no more likely to be able to purchase a gun at a gun show, than they are from any gun shop.

When Congress Commits Treason

When Congress Commits Treason
The Fifth Column Raymond S. Kraft
February 5, 2007

Al Qaeda wants an American retreat, defeat, and surrender in Iraq. So do America's Democrats. Hezbollah wants an American retreat, defeat, and surrender in Iraq. So do America's Democrats. Iran wants an American retreat, defeat, and surrender in Iraq. So do America's Democrats. Muqtada al Sadr wants an American retreat, defeat, and surrender in Iraq. So do America's Democrats. Osama bin Laden wants an American retreat, defeat, and surrender in Iraq. So do America's Democrats. When an American political party aligns itself with the goals, hopes, and ambitions of America's enemies in a time of war, in my view there is only one word for it - Treason.

Kerry Puts Foot in Mouth (again)

Today, John Kerry became an official member of the "Jimmy Carter Foot in the Mouth Club." He achieved this phenomenal accomplishment when he dissed the U.S. by calling the U.S. an "International Pariah" while attending a conference in Switzerland and while he was seated next to Mohammad Khatami, the former President of Iran. Kerry criticized what he called the "unfortunate habit" of Americans to see the world "exclusively through an American lens." In my view that is exactly what we should be doing. Way to go John you are now an American Pariah. Actually you have been for sometime, so thanks for reinforcing your position for the whole world to see.

Kerry Throws in the Towel

Today, John Kerry announced he would not be running for President in 2008. Associates say it is because of his "joke" about the volunteer military put voters off, but I suspect it is because Terresa doesn't want to throw good money after bad.

KNOW THINE ENEMY

The first United States President to fight Islamoterrorists was Thomas Jefferson. The war against the Barbary Coast Pirates ran from 1801 to 1805. Jefferson acquired his copy of the Quran to better know those we were about to engage, something perhaps present day politicians should think about. I seriously doubt though that we have any scholars in the present government that approach the intellect of Jefferson. If we did we wouldn't be in the pickle we are in today.

PUTTING WORDS IN OUR MOUTHS

I don't know about you, but it pisses me off when the Democrats try to tell me why I voted the way I did. First of all, they act like they won a landslide majority and have a mandate from the American people to do as they wish. Nothing could be farther from the truth, they won a pitifully tiny majority, just by the skin on their asses and then try to make it look like the world is theirs. My vote went two places, to those who will protect our borders from the Illegals and to those who will protect our Second Amendment rights, not to those who want to cut and run from the Iraqi conflict. That is the LAST thing we should be doing.

One of the headlines I saw on Friday boasted that recent polls show that Mrs. Pelosi has a 43% approval rating, like that was something fantastic. Obviously that also means that she has a 57% disapproval rating, something that they failed to point out, but makes more sense to me.

Whether it is intentional or not, the godless left are working in concert with radical Islam to defeat George Bush and end the war on terror. They are either too blind, or too stupid, to see that it is because of leftist policies that Islam hates America in the first place. Islam hates everything that the left stands for, abortion, gay rights, secularism, feminism and just about everything else. Until we can show Islam that America is still a moral, religious country and not a secular nation, our troubles with them will continue. It is up to God loving Christians and Jews to save this country by speaking out against the left's godlessness and by putting God back into our daily lives.

REMEMBER, there is no separation of church and state in the Constitution no matter what the dissolute left says. Go here for an explanation.

If there was ever a time for a revolution it is now. Not against our government, but againt the godless left, in order to reestablish our Republic which recognizes God as the provider of all that is good, especially our liberty and human rights.

The threat of death has sledom if ever kept people, particularly gangsters, from committing murder. However, carrying out the death penalty on convicted killers is a definite deterrent, putting them permanently out of circulation, insuring that they will never commit murder, or any other type of crime, ever again.

Is Congress Spending Your Money in Secret?

Congress is considering a bill "The Labor, Health and Human Services appropriations measure" that presently contains 1,867 earmarks worth more than a half-billion tax dollars and averaging nearly $268,000 each. Many are for things that sound like worthy causes such as "hospital facilities and equipment," yet none of the sponsoring congressmen put their names on their earmarks. Not a one!

For example. check out the number one item on the list for New York: "$3,000,000 New York City College of New York for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service to prepare individuals for careers in public service, which may include establishing an endowment, library and archives for such center.

In case you don't know who Charles B. Rangel is, he is a Congressman from New York and a member of the The Democratic Socialists of America, a Communist Party affiliate. I wonder who put that appropriation in the measure?

CHARLIE BROWNS CHRISTMAS

Charlie Brown's heart sank. "I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree. I guess I really don't know what Christmas is about," he wailed. "Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?"

Linus replied, "Sure, Charlie Brown. I can tell you what Christmas is about."

Linus stepped into the spotlight and said: "And there were shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And the Angel of the Lord came upon them and said, 'Fear not: For behold, I bring you tidings of great joy. For unto you is born this day a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.' And there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts praising God and saying, "Glory to God; peace on Earth, good will to men.'

"That is what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."

Suddenly, Charlie Brown didn't care what anyone thought of him or his tree. He finally felt happy, the way he was supposed to feel at Christmas!

FROM THE RIFLEMAN
January 2007 issue

More Americans Say That Having A Gun In The Home Makes It Safer

A national Gallup poll conducted Oct. 9-12, shows that by a margin of 47-43 percent, Americans believe that having a firearm in the home makes it safer. The numbers represent a 12-point increase in the safety response from when Gallup asked the same question six years ago.

Gallup also asked, "In terms of gun laws in the U.S., which would you prefer to see happen—enforce the current gun laws more strictly and NOT pass new gun laws, or pass new gun laws in addition to enforcing the current laws more strictly?" By a 53-43 percent margin, Americans voted against passing more gun control laws.

By a margin of 2 to 1, Americans—43 percent of whom report having a gun in their homes— rejected a ban on handgun possession. When asked the same question by Galiup in 1959, six out of 10 Americans favored a handgun ban.

Clarity of Vision

Every time our young men are called to arms, there is a contingent of bleeding heart journalists, politicians and their camp followers that claim we are sending our young men out to die for their country. They know as well as we do that these young men are not being sent out to die for their country, but to kill for their country.

George Patton once told his men, "I do not want you to go out there and die for your country. I want you to go out there and make the other bastard die for his country." We must keep our vision clear and focused.

I SURE FEEL BETTER NOW.... NOT!

Next Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has spoken. She proclaimed today that there are no al-Qaeda in Iraq and believe me that is a relief. However, she must have received her information from the AP, which gets much of its mis-information from Captain Jamil Hussein who's only official connection may be to al-Quida. Evidently Mrs. Pelosi thinks that her elevation to Speaker, as a result of the mid-term elections has al-Qaeda running for the hills.

The chances that there are no more al-Qaeda in Iraq is only slightly less than the fact that there is no "s" in Mississippi. Here is an excerpt from today's briefing by the real MOI (Ministry of Interior) spokesman.

"Ministry of Interior Weekly Press Conference Thursday, November 30, 2006 By Brig. Gen. Abdul Kareem Khalaf Al-Kenani Ministry of Interior spokesman:....The third subject is, this week the strikes we made against the al-Qaeda terrorist organization in Baghdad were many and very strong in Baghdad. Before my arrival to this press conference, I was informed that one of the three who were just captured or detained is Mazer Al-Jubouri, aka the Baghdad Sniper, and his group. He admitted many things that are very important and very dangerous and our forces used this information about his network and conducted raids in the past 24 hours and detained 30 terrorists."

Obviously Mrs. Pelosi's judgement is impaired. If she is as frazzled as she looks in this photo, the Dems are in trouble. I think the next two years are going to be very frustrating for them. Not being able to get any legislation through Congress may result in their losing control again in 2008.

We can only hope.

Stupid is, as Stupid Does

From a recent Kerry speech: "You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq."

John has confused "smart" with "educated," or perhaps he actually thinks they are the same. Smart is really the opposite of stupid; you are born one way, or the other. You can't study for smart, but if you are smart, you will get a good education. Like George W. Bush, John Kerry graduated from Yale University, but with an even lower grade point average.

In addition to his hatred of the U.S. Military, John Kerry evidently feels disdain for black, brown and poor people. He feels they will be the ones who volunteer for the military, because they are obviously unqualified for anything else. Kerry again: "I am convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown," ... "and would be less accountable and be more prone to "the perpetuation of war crimes."

There is a BIG difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance can be cured with a little education, but even educated people can be stupid, which is incurable and often fatal.

Can anyone REALLY want this man to be President?

Pots Calling the Kettle Black
from the Patriot Post Vol. 06 No. 40

In the early days of 2001, amid the hasty removal of the letter "W" from White House keyboards and the theft of the presidential china from Air Force One's galley, the departing President Clinton was busily dispensing no fewer than 176 last-minute presidential pardons to convicted criminals from sea to shining sea. One of these was for Mel Reynolds, a former Democrat congressman from Chicago. Reynolds had been serving a five-year federal sentence for fraudulent-loan and campaign-finance practices, having completed a 30-month sentence for 12 counts of statutory rape of a 16-year-old campaign volunteer.

Clinton pardoned Reynolds at the behest of Jessie Jackson, who then snatched up the sleazy pol to work for his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. Of course everybody remembers Bill Clinton's infamous affair with 21-year-old intern Monica Lewinsky---let's call that the "Clinton legacy." Perhaps fewer, though, recall Jackson's sordid four-year affair with a subordinate, one Karin Stanford, a staffer with Rainbow/PUSH.

So let's get this straight: A disgraced congressman who'd had sex with a subordinate received a pardon from a disgraced president who'd had sex with a subordinate at the behest of a disgraced clergyman who'd had sex with a subordinate. And what was the Honorable Mel Reynolds' new position with the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition? Youth counselor.

Gang Rapes by Illegals

In the past twenty years nearly 12 million illegal immigrants have crossed our borders, primarily the southern border with Mexico. These illegals have brought with them drugs, disease, mainly tuberculosis, poverty, ignorance and criminal gangs, for the most part MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, a well organized and powerful gang that has spread like a cancer to at least 33 states across the U.S. These gangsters are responsible for numerous gang rapes and the numbers are increasing daily. The Violent Crimes Institute did a study of 1,500 offenders. The total number of their victims was 5,999, an average of four victims each. There were 535 child molestations, 358 rapes, and 617 sexual homicides or serial murders. There are a total of 240,000 illegal-immigrant sex offenders that currently reside in the United States. 93 sex offenders and 12 serial sexual offenders come across the U.S. border illegally EVERY DAY. And it continues More Gang Rapes We don't need immigration law reform, we need immigration law enforcement.

THE HEZBOLLAH DESERVE OUR RESPECT

The United Nations (Kofi Annan) says that the Hezbollah deserve the respect of America. I agree! And the type of respect they deserve is exactly the same we would give a scorpion. The following are some reasons why they deserve such respect.

~~~~~~

1982: Muslim extremists (mostly Hezbollah) began a nearly decade-long habit of taking Americans and Europeans hostage in Lebanon, killing William Buckley (March 6, 1984) and holding Terry Anderson for six and a half years (March 16, 1985 to December 4, 1991).

April 18, 1983: Muslim extremists (Islamic Jihad or possibly Hezbollah) bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 16 Americans.

October 23, 1983: Muslim extremists (Hezbollah) blew up the U.S. Marine barracks at the Beirut airport, killing 241 Marines.

September 20, 1984: Muslim extremists (Hezbollah) exploded a truck bomb at the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut, killing 24 people, including two U.S. servicemen.

December 3, 1984: Muslim extremists (probably Hezbollah) hijacked a Kuwait Airways airplane, landed in Iran and demanded the release of the 17 members of al-Dawa who had been arrested for the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, killing two Americans before the siege was over.

June 14, 1985: Muslim extremists (Hezbollah) hijacked TWA Flight 847 out of Athens, diverting it to Beirut, taking the passengers hostage in return for the release of the Kuwait 17 as well as another 700 prisoners held by Israel. When their demands were not met, the Muslims shot U.S. Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem and dumped his body on the tarmac.

June 26, 1996: Muslim extremists (13 Saudis and a Lebanese member of Hezbollah, probably with involvement of al-Qaida) explode a truck bomb outside the Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds.

Go Israel!

THE U.S.A. BUILT BY LEGAL IMMIGRANTS

"By way of introduction, immigration law violators are not immigrants . They are aliens who are in the United States in violation of the law. There is a profound difference between individuals who legally apply for admission and fulfill all the requirements for admission, and those who decide to enter the United States, or intentionally overstay their visa in violation of law. Labeling such violators as intending immigrants only confuses the issue and juxtaposing these two categories is specious logic. A few of the important differences include criminal and health backgrounds of intending entrants. A lawfully admitted alien must undergo health screening and will not be admitted if found to have a communicable disease. Similarly, certain criminal convictions exclude some aliens from admission into the United States as well. Of course, the smuggled alien, or one who enters without inspection, bypasses such rules and regulations. This is not to suggest that the majority of illegal entrants into the United States are criminals or diseased, but a percentage of this group are. Just how many criminal aliens are in the United States is difficult to determine primarily because many who are in custody either do not disclose their true status, or they are released before INS can remove them." --- Extracted from "The Illegal Alien Problem: Enforcing the Immigration Laws" By George Weissinger, Ph. D. To read the complete document go here: http://www.immigration-usa.com/george_weissinger.html

The United States Government issues 50,000 permanent resident cards (Green Cards) every year through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery. Applicants are selected randomly by a computer-generated drawing. If selected, the main applicant, spouse and all unmarried children under 21 years of age will have a chance to apply for permanent resident status in the United States. The process of completing and submitting a DV Lottery application can be confusing. There are dozens of websites on the internet offering Green Card Lottery submission services, and it can be difficult to distinguish the legitimate companies from the scams. The only way to guarantee that the application will be submitted on time and according to the strict requirements is to submit it yourself. This application guide consists of application instructions and requirements for the initial application and how to proceed with the application process if selected in the drawing. It is a misconception to believe that “winning” the Green Card Lottery automatically grants the selected applicant U.S. residence, a Green Card or United States Citizenship. There are several additional forms and documents that must be submitted to the U.S. government before the applicant receives permanent residence in the United States. Application Requirements: There are several requirements, including: Claim nativity in an eligible country and meet either the education or work experience requirements

Once Again Jimmy Carter Speaks Out

Sadly, and not for the first time, poor, irrelevant, Jimmy Carter has again bashed our government, in an interview given to a foreign news paper, "Der Spiegel." He doesn't seem to understand that the whole terrorist situation the world is experiencing today is the result of his administration not kicking the snot out of Iran back in 1979 when they overran the American embassy in Teheran and 52 Americans were taken hostage and held for 444 days. The Carter administration's weak and ineffective response, emboldened the hostage takers and lead to further aggressive action on the part of the jihadists, who perceived the west as weak and unwilling to respond aggressively and with resolve.

He also berated Israel for over reacting to the kidnapping of two of their soldiers, with not one word of censure for those who took them. Where is the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt when it is needed? If Carter had his way, we would all be marched out of our homes while blue helmeted U.N. troops confiscated our guns and led our children off to be re-educated.

Ben Franklin Would Have Agreed with Judge Taylor

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1776

Do we give up our Constitutional right to privacy so we can evesdrop on suspected terrorists without a warrant? Any American judge who is concerned for our country's well being would authorize such a request, assuming it is legitimate and the FBI knows which judges these are. There is no need to dismantle the Constitution to obtain, as Ben noted, "temporary safety." What is needed is the resolve to utterly destroy global terrorism, once and for all, thereby removing the false perception that the Constitution, in this case the 4th Amendment, must be violated to save our freedom. Why would anyone want to destroy even part of the Constitution?

Part of the answer may be that since he was first elected, President Bush, in keeping with family tradition, has revealed he is a globalist and that globalism is more important to him than national sovereignty.

What might be next? Think about it!
