THEY are now generous with our POSTERITY’S money!!!!

Our childrens‘ futures have now been mortgaged to pay the unimaginably enormous bills that our spend-spend-spend politicians ran up while they lied to us about the cost of all  their generosity with our money, or even deliberately hid the cost from us, like a dishonest teenager hiding the family car he damaged in driving recklessly , for fear of being held accountable for it. I say, hold them accountable! Let’s demand the impeachment of all the worst crooks, like Pelosi and Frank and their chums. Let’s vote out every last Senator and Congressman and Congresswoman now in office. That way, while a very few honorable people will be forced out. at least we won’t have any bad  ones left who did these rotten things.Finally, let’s inform the new members of Congress that they had better be honest and accountable and financially conservative, or we will limit them to a single term. And let’s keep that up until we have an honest, honorable Congress, having made a change we can believe in, by ourselves! Let’s demand also that they follow the Constitution and shrink the government to fit it. NO MORE are they  or the President  to be allowed to throw taxpayer money and new laws and regulations and a new bureaucracy at every problem. No more will we allow them to stay in office indefinitely, using tax funds as their own private piggy bank. to fund their pet projects or enrich their own lifestyles.

Either socialism ends in America, or America will end in socialism.

Liberals,Democrats,dictators,environmental extremists,and guns

 

Liberals, Democrats, dictators of all extremes all over the world, and environmental extremists have been working day, night and overtime  for many years to try to get guns away from almost all people,criminals and non-criminals alike,hunters, too, sometimes including the police. With the tragic assasssinations of the Kennedys and Dr. King in the 60s, the anti-gun forces kicked into high gear, resulting in the Gun Control Act of 1968. They must have thought that making it difficult for people to legally acquire guns would make gun violence go WAY down. If that was their thinking, it was a dreadfully mistaken notion, and the GCA was an obvious, massive failure. While the Act was being debated, bumper stickers appeared across the land,”if GUNS are OUTLAWED, only OUTLAWS will have GUNS” (emphasis on the original bumper stickers). The bumper sticker was prophetic. Nowadays, we have outlaw criminal GANGS running around in all major cities in America, much like the bloodiest of Wild West movies, only THESE gangs can outgun the sheriff, the police, EVERYBODY. Ordinary citizens lock themselves in  and stay off the streets,while the gangs run around freely, rather a backwards situation! Even the Brady gun bill, which was even STRICTER than the GCA, didn’t stop THEM.

The Obama regime’s recent proposal to disarm all people over 60 years old on the grounds that they  “are too senile” to safely handle a gun is totally OUTRAGEOUS. (If Obama is so SMART, then what happened to HIM, and who is THIS guy???) For one thing, “senility” as in Alzheimer’s ISN’T a problem for MOST seniors. For another, this is discrimination on the basis of AGE, which several federal laws prohibit. So…did Obama get a death threat from the Gray Panthers, or does he want to save on Social Security costs by making the old people easy victims of violent crime? What a nincompoop LAW, someone must have been snorting SOMETHING.

A brief history of the gun control Gestapo may be appropriate here.

Ahead of the first Earth Day arose a segment of American society that called themselves “environmentalists”. They quickly grew in numbers, power and money, and were soon able, with an army of slick lawyers, to initiate lawsuits against EVERYONE  they disapproved of, private companies and corporations alike, AND state and federal lawmakers, too. They convinced the schools, sometimes with threatened lawsuits, always with “free educational materials”,to allow environmentalism to be taught as SCIENCE. Environmentalism is not science, not as the term is commonly defined. Environmentalism is a worldview that, at the most extreme, says that ALL animals are equally as important as ANY people,that EVERYTHING comes second to the complete preservation in its pristine state of the ENVIRONMENT. Jobs may be lost, whole REGIONS may be depopulated of PEOPLE, huge CORPORATIONS may topple, the economy may COLLAPSE under the weight of excessive taxes and environmental regulations that micromanage , and require that certain things MUST be done without regard to cost or even to being POSSIBLE. The environmentalsts seemingly think themselves ABOVE mere practical considerations, that if THEY can believe it, others MUST achieve it. They are convinced, like any COMMUNIST group, that “the end justifies the means”, that therefore ALL that they say and do is RIGHT, for they are MORALLY SUPERIOR to NON-environmentalists. In their zeal to advance “animal rights” (which seemingly grew out of environmentalism), they put into their “free instructional materials” that ALL hunting is BAD, is CRUEL, that HUNTERS are STUPID and CRUEL  and ENJOY causing pain to the animals they hunt. They knew that this would lead the children to HATE the IDEA of hunting, and would decrease the number of hunters over time. Also, it would help to discourage the OLDER hunters from going out hunting, if their children loudly disapprove. Moreover, the environmentalists themselves went into the woods to harass and even assault hunters, destroy their personal property, and scare off the animals so the hunters couldn’t find any. More recently, they have used the courts to actually STOP hunting at times and in places and after kinds of animals that have been legal for a LONG TIME. There is NO rational reason for ending a legal hunt these days, but that doesn’t matter to THEM.So,the number of hunters in the last 3 decades HAS declined, and the number of wild animals has risen rapidly in many places. What is worse, predators like coyotes, cougars and bears who USED to be hunted a lot have had several generations grow up without ever HEARING a gun go off, and so they have lost their fear of people. That fear USED to PROTECT people who went into wild places. The cougars or coyotes would hear people in the DISTANCE and would run away to protect themselves. Now, they have no such instinct to hide from people, and with their growing numbers, they are beginning to encroach, not only on new developments that “expand into the animals’ territory” and “damage the ecosystem”, but into towns and cities that have been there for a century or more, where the animals didn’t USED to go. Their WILD environment may be “shrinking”, but the animal population is GROWING, and so is their “territory”. INTO the territory of PEOPLE. The environmentalists insist that it is “environmental destruction” ALONE that is causing  the sudden rise in wild animal attacks on people and domestic pets and livestock. That is partly true, but the REST of the problem has its roots in the decline and persecution of legal hunting and hunters. The predators have NO “natural enemies” other THAN man. By the time the predators’ numbers have risen enough that they can start to REALLY control the HUGE overpopulation of deer and other nuisance prey-type wildlife, which hunters USED to do, the predators will themselves become a HUGE problem to US. Can you imagine trying to dodge a running deer with your car, only to find a pack of WOLVES is right behind it?

And the  most fascistic environmentalist groups all support the Democratic party,and the Democratic party politicians generally vote in their favor. Hunters are,by and large, conservative types who have historically voted Republican. Unlike the holier-than-thou environmentalists, hunters’ organizations have actually spent  much of their money on PRESERVING HABITAT for the animals they hunt, and on programs for helping to ensure the perpetuation of native wildlife, and their lobby is not a well-known or powerful one (which is why they keep getting outlawed and ruled against in court). The environmentalist extremists, meanwhile, spend much of THEIR money on advertising, lawsuits and political contributions.

To Democrats.

Some environmentalists say that “if you leave the animals alone, they will leave you alone”. This fails to explain why it is that so many wild animals attack from the REAR, attack people that don’t even know the animals are AROUND, so presumably CANNOT be “bothering” them. Evidently, for some wild beasts, if you come within 500 yards of them, THAT is “bothering” them.

Tangentially,the idea that an “environment” CAN be “preserved” in its “pristine state” is LUDICROUS. An ecosystem is not a ripe apricot,you can’t stick it in hot sugar syrup in a jar, seat the lid, and process it in a boiling water bath so it will keep nicely in that state for YEARS.  An ecosystem will change, ALL BY ITSELF, even with NO “environmental degradation” going on. I learned about “climax forests” in high school. That is what “wetlands” (SWAMPS!) eventually become,over centuries or even thousands of years, passing through a number of changes along the way.Then the climax forest slowly becomes a swamp again, and the cycle begins again. Wildfires, tornadoes,  floods, hurricanes, mudslides, avalanches, volcanoes, wreck houses AND dens. Animal populations fluctuate, species come and go, climate itself changes over time, and ALWAYS HAS. You can no more maintain an area in its ”pristine state” (whatever state you found it in) than you can keep a banana left outside from spoiling. The environment is too complex TO “preserve in its current state”, we know so little about it, really.

The registration of guns, dictated by the GCA, was SUPPOSED to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. That is the reason given by the Democrats who advocated it. As we know, THAT sure didn’t work. It DID have a dampening effect on DECENT people getting one. Also, there has never EVER been a government in the WORLD that registered gun ownership and then LEFT the guns WITH the owners. Hitler and Stalin and probably all OTHER ruthless dictators forced gun owners to register their firearms,then used the registration records to go around and DISARM THE CITIZENRY, making armed resistance impossible. Why does THAT matter? you ask. Because, in a dictatorship,the army and police are NEVER disarmed. Without their own guns to protect their lives and rights, the citizenry are easily forced by GOVERNMENT arms to do whatever the Boss Man (or Woman) WANTS. THAT is tyranny!

The Democratic Party has fought hard for 4 decades to increase governmental control over EVERYTHING to do with guns and gun ownership, some Democrats (in line with the ACLU) even insist that the Second Amendment does NOT permit INDIVIDUAL gun ownership, only “militias” are to be armed, they say.

The ACLU is ANOTHER supporter of the Democratic Party.

Over in England, they have the very strictest gun laws in the whole WORLD. When they were enacted (and I understand they are strictly enforced) the hoped-for decline in murders didn’t happen. Murderers who had no gun accomplished the killing instead with a baseball bat, a knife, poison, a length of rope…It gave weight to the oft-repeated idea that “Guns don’t kill people, PEOPLE do.”

On the other hand,in Israel, every adult MUST own a gun, and every citizen over 18 must go thru military training, including how to use a gun. There, they have the lowest murder rate in the WORLD.

So, I have a proposal. Let the federal government enforce the spirit AND letter of the Second Amendment. Let the Supreme court ban ALL laws in ALL states that seek to regulate, tax or limit gun ownership, and allow ALL citizens the right to own firearms. Encourage the various gun manufacturers to hold classes on safe gun use and target shooting,and to establish hunting clubs to encourage hunting and teach gun choice, use and maintenance, hunting ethics and safety. Ban imports of poor-quality guns made by enemy states, like China. Make regulated hunting in each state a Constitutional right so that the environmentalists can be jailed for interfering with it, and their lawsuits can be thrown out. I think that if we had an ARMED citizenry, gun violence by criminals and gangs would be drastically curtailed, campus shooting sprees would be cut VERY short, crimes against property would steeply decline,dangerous, landscape-destroying animals would stop being a problem, more poor people would be eating better by getting their own fresh meat during hunting season (and maybe more from relatives and friends who hunt), and gun-toting border crossers would go back home QUICK. There might be a brief “adjustment period” at first, where gun deaths would go UP very briefly, but once the “bad guys” figure out that they are surrounded by LEGAL gun-toters, THEY will go hide at home behind locked doors, and our streets will be safe, 24/7, like they USED to be.

Did YOU think it was gonna get this bad???

I tend to think catastrophically (“oh, this’ll be a DISASTER!!”), and KNOW that, so I try to calm myself down when a disaster-in-the-making seems headed in my direction. Over 99% of the time, the TIDAL WAVE  I was bracing for turned out to be a  boat wake that got my sneakers wet and inconvenienced my cat. So, the Obama phenomenon has been a whole new experience for me, emotionally. Let me explain.

I am always prepared to be disgusted at Democratic candidates in general. The Democrats, as a rule (1% of them excepted) tend to want to throw taxes, regulations and new government agencies at problems. When that fails, they pile on MORE tax money and regulations, and a BIGGER agency, or bring in another, already-created agency to “assist”, with predictable, resulting inefficiencies. Government agencies as a whole are inefficient,slow,corrupt,FOREVER,glacierlike in their speed to reacting to new realities,and burn money like it’s just paper (which it pretty much IS, nowadays). Democrats have yet to see that. They STILL have absolute faith in the ability of a big-enough, monied-enough government to solve EVERY problem, meet EVERY need,and the fact that  the United States government has so far miserably failed to bring about paradise on earth means that the taxes aren’t high enough, the government isn’t big enough, what’s worse, the EUROPEANS are therefore jealous of us, and so the government MUST get bigger and more intrusive into its citizens’ lives, and MUST squeeze MORE taxes out of those with some income who are not in a protected group. And they talk and behave as if “change” and “progress”, in and of themselves, are absolute goods, as if  to “keep on keepin’ on” is totally UNACCEPTABLE, whether it is right and works, or not. As if “going back to what works” is UNPARDONABLY TERRIBLE.

I saw that Obama was black, and was ALMOST willing to vote for him just for that. (I myself am white,female, and an Army veteran.) I am a lifelong conservative, though, and a patriot, with a particular soft spot for the military (having been in it). From that point of view, I felt that skin color was secondary to “the content of [a man's] character” in electing him for any public office,ESPECIALLY the presidency, where he will be the chief executive of the most powerful nation on earth. I didn’t like what I saw of Obama’s character. He’s good-looking,only in his 40s,has a nice smile, a charming personality,an impressive speaking voice,a slim wife who dresses well and has a HUGE smile…and that was about the end of the positives. I NEVER heard him talk publicly about what SPECIFIC policies he planned to put in place as the president. His speeches were well put-together, but devoid of any real information or sharing of himself, his goals, where he planned to lead us. He used the words “hope” and “change” a lot, without describing at all what change he MEANT, or what he hoped FOR. I saw him avoid saluting the flag, I heard some of the stupid things he said, like blaming ALL our fiscal problems on President BUSH alone,and I turned against voting for him, especially when I found out how pro-abortion he is and has been,not wanting his daughters to be “punished” by a baby. I found out further about all the funny business in Chicago, and saw how several of his friends and financial backers are or have been in prison, about Reverend Wright, and other things. I also saw how the media were practically SLOBBERING over him, “tingles up my leg” and all,and were AWOL in their responsibilities to actually INVESTIGATE this man that wanted to be President, and stayed silent while Hillary Clinton was practically hounded from her own Presidential campaign. What’re they trying to PULL? I thought, very uneasily. It further disgusted me that the press allowed hinm to turn them into his own PR staff, obviously setting himself up for photo and video ops that they fawningly turned out for. His lack of openness about himself and his plans and goals as president, they totally ignored.

 The GOP, as if trying to help him win, managed to put up the worst GOP candidate in history, with their “open primaries”. The “moderates” and “undecideds” voted for McPain in the primaries, giving us the worst candidate possible, then voted for OBAMA on election day.

The Wall Street “collapse” looked a little too conveniently timed to me,especially given that “Wall Street” had given Obama several TIMES as much money as they had McCain. It seemed obvious to me that they were gonna get him into the White House so that their “investment” would PAY OFF. History has shown that when a financial downturn occurs a few weeks or months before the election, the voting public ALWAYS blames it on the sitting President and his Party,and vote for the OTHER Party’s candidates. Wall Street KNEW that, so they engineered a “collapse” to ensure an Obama victory. I was a little comforted when Charles Krauthammer said the same thing on TV.

I read some uncomfortable info about Obama BEFORE the election,both on the Internet and in books, and watched Fox News, the only news outlet on TV that WAS checking into Obama’s politics and background, and a sick dread of what I knew was coming gripped me. Obama’s politics and background made him an obviously VERY poor choice for president. I would hear, again and again, that he said something REALLY stupid, childish or evil, and would not believe it, then someone would email a YouTube link about it, and I could see and hear Obama saying it,IN CONTEXT. Even so, they kept calling him a “rock star”, and crowds ACTED like he was one. Oprah openly campaigned for him, and said on her show after he was elected how happy she was. She called him “The One” after the Messiah-type guy in “The Matrix”, and millions of people who had forgotten that “The Matrix” was only a fictional MOVIE  picked up on her enthusiasm, and bought Obama as enthusiastically as they ever had “Oprah’s Club” books. THAT was scary, that a popular and powerful, billionaire Hollywood celebrity and businesswoman could virtually pick the President she wanted by encouraging millions of mindless fans to follow her and vote for him. I braced myself for the disaster that would be Election Day,2008.

I was disgusted almost as much by McCain. He had been all for open borders, and it had taken an ENORMOUS public outcry to defeat the idea in Congress, and he was angry about it still, and I was pretty sure that he’d open the borders as president. He voted AGAINST the marriage amendment, and he wasn’t the strongest pro-lifer ever, either. He seemed pretty erratic in his politics, too, His “maverick” status, so admired by the media, disgusted me. In my experience, the maverick is the person who will not commit to a side, or to a group of like-minded people, but wants to be a maverick because  he only wants to be for HIMSELF. Like  a HIPPIE, always “expressing myself”. His “straight talk” too often was ill-conceived, off-the-cuff remarks that he later had to apologize for. Also, he was known for being bad-tempered and for calling names and swearing at people who disagreed with him. He behaved as if he thought that NOBODY who disagreed with him could POSSIBLY have good ideas OR good motives, they were all either idiots, lying, or corrupt. His only real firm stands were pro-McCain and pro-illegal immigrants.He”crossed the aisle to get things done” so much that they had a SEAT saved for him, and tried to use that as a selling point to get himself elected president.Not the kind of man I wanted in the White House. “Getting things done” in Washington is NOT a Constitutional requirement, or even a virtue,in fact, the less they DO do, the better off  The People are, as a rule.

So, there I was, almost literally worried SICK when Obama won. What would the “unknown devil” DO? And it has been an emotional HORROR  for me, ever since. I awake,and check the news, and DAILY, he says or does something ELSE that is spectacularly ill-informed, misinformed, stupid,evil,or Communistic. Or a BUNCH of things. I am worried about the rubber-stamp Congress, the flouting of my Constitutional rights, about my tax burden, about funding my retirement, about LIVING  that long (if I can survive socialized medicine),about life for my grandchildren with the “public service” bill that’s been proposed and includes “service” for CHILDREN, and the huge public debt THEY will have to “service”. I am worried about us conservative bloggers being “scrubbed” and our posts being rejected,about the parade of NON-Christianity in the federal government and what it might mean to Christian churches in this country,about the simultaneous TRIPLING of the federal debt, expansion of “work-free” welfare and shrinkage of the military, of Obama’s demonstrated ineptitude in conducting foreign policy and ignorance/denial of the existence of IslamoNazism, the list is LOTS longer, and grows almost DAILY.

I am disgusted at how he STILL won’t be open. Where’s the “TRANSPARENCY”??? He never explains ANYTHING, or answers any questions off the cuff. He stutters and stammers and can’t even put together a sensible sentence WITHOUT a TelePrompter. A FIVE YEAR OLD would have handled the visit from PM Brown better than Obama did. The press has also been strangely non-critical about his announcement that he would 0nly allow the WHITE HOUSE PHOTOGRAPHER to take photos in the White House,and that only those photos that were passed by Obama himself would be allowed to be published.

Who IS his handler?? MICHAEL MOORE?????

Did YOU think it would get this bad?? I must say, it is MASSIVELY  WORSE than I ever really thought POSSIBLE.
