Fast, furious and wrong: Obama administration faces outrage over guns in Mexico

Our Founding Fathers included the 2nd Amendment in the Bill of Rights for sound historical reasons as well as to ensure that the God-given, thus unalienable, right of self-defense was clearly protected. Without the Bill of Rights, the Constitution would never have been ratified and our nation would have quickly devolved to tyranny. Despite the protections set forth in that the basis of all our laws, there have been those who disagreed with those protections and who since its ratification have been bent on the destruction of the Constitution as envisioned by the Founders. Through history they have been called by different names and now they use the sobriquet of "Progressive" even though the policies they support are entirely regressive in nature. We must always be watchful of their actions for while their words drip with sweet concern for mankind, the sweetness conceals poisons intended to destroy our liberty.

In this case we have a perfect example of such words. The president speaks of wanting to ensure that criminals in Mexico do not have access to weapons from America but it is not the criminals that are restricted or punished with increased bureaucratic red tape but the law-abiding citizen. That this Regime could see fit to send guns illegally to Mexico then use the fact that those guns were used in crimes in Mexico to justify additional gun control measures to limit the right of Americans to keep and bear arms is an unconscionable assault on our Constitution and our liberty. We must call for the removal, and if necessary the impeachment, of those involved in the act and in the cover-up that is ongoing. 

History shows us that tyranny begins with movements to disarm the citizenry for its own good. We are told time and again that the central government only wants what is best for all and to ensure that all are protected we must surrender our right to self defense and rely on the state for protection. The truth of the matter is that there is no safety in the state. It cannot be relied upon to be there when we are in personal danger for when seconds count, help is truly minutes away. The truth is that only law abiding citizens comply with such laws which gives the criminal class complete freedom to exercise its depredations with impunity. The truth is that the primary distinction between a free man and a slave is the right to bear arms yet there are those who choose slavery thinking that it will make them free.

Exclusive: Rep. Upton Vows to Fight for Tea Party Principles

Fred Upton wrote the bill outlawing this light bulb made in the United States...

Exclusive: Rep. Upton Vows to Fight for Tea Party Principles

Ok, Fred, your memo vowing to fight for Tea Party principles is very nice. But how about that stupid, job killing law that mandates the demise of incandescent light bulbs while mandating use of fluorescent light bulbs? You know, the ones that contain mercury that will endanger our children when they break, that require special disposal methods and are all manufactured overseas?  What are you going to do about that sterling bit of legislative stupidity that should have never been enacted? Or is your memo a fabrication just so you can get the committee chairmanship?

Fred is a RINO and a Progressive.  Should we trust him or work to send him home next election?  Even though he's trying to make nice, I am not sure We the People can trust him anymore than we trust Nancy "The Nanny" Pelosi.

Conservatives burn over Fred Upton's light bulb law

The ultimate end to Fred Upton's programs: The inmates will be in charge.

I wonder why Conservatives would be against the new lightbulb law that outlaws incandescent light bulbs in the very near future?

Could it be that Conservatives object to a law that has moved all lightbulb production overseas thus closing American factories and eliminating American jobs?

Could it be that Conservatives, thinking the problem through, realize that the new law causes more environmental problems than it solves with its mandating of mercury-using CFL bulbs which cause a hazmat problem when they break?

Could it be that Conservatives believe that the federal government is over-reaching when it dictates the amount of water our toilets can use to flush, what kind of light we can use to read or light our bathrooms?

Could be.

Representative Fred Upton is clearly a Republican in Name Only and he just doesn't get it.  He needs to be replaced right along with the rest of the Progressive Liberals in 2012.  Don't forget his name and donate to his opponent before they actually do create a "Green Police."

60 Minutes Shock Report: National Unemployed and Underemployed 17.5%; California 22%

60 Minutes Shock Report: National Unemployed and Underemployed 17.5%; California 22%

The only real shock here is that Left Stream Media outlet CBS allowed it to be reported! The Obama Regime has done every thing it could ranging from being creative to outright lying to try and portray its programs as working when we all know they have failed miserably.

It is just too bad that we have to wait until 2012 and 2016 to complete our overhaul of the House, Senate and White House. The Progressives have done everything they can to move the nation into the socialist column and it is time to get rid of them regardless of their party affiliation. November 2 is the target date for taking out the garbage this year. The rest will have to wait for later unless, of course, they see the light and completely reform--the likelihood of which is nil.

The Stakes in the Midterm Elections: Are We Citizens or Subjects?

The Stakes in the Midterm Elections: Are We Citizens or Subjects?

This is an excellent read using historical context to show just how Progressives have perverted the original intent of the Constitution in their efforts to create a perfect socialist state. As we can now see in Europe, the very area that Obama seems to idealize for its nanny-state governments, socialism and nanny-stateism just does not work. Of course, our Forefathers understood this all too well when they conceived the Constitution and clearly, from reading the Federalist Papers and significant writings of the early Framers, put in what they believed to be safeguards in the Constitution that limited the Federal Government. Unfortunately over the decades those safeguards have been under constant assault and significantly subverted by Progressives in Congress, the White House and the Courts through imaginative manipulation of the very language in which they were written by redefining the words and reinterpreting phrases to suit their own goals. As this article clearly points out, they have managed to do that which our Forefathers tried to prevent and in doing so have set us on the self-destructive path of socialism which leads to the title question: Are we Citizens or are we Subjects?

We reaffirm our citizenship on November 2, and in 2012 and 2016 we have the opportunity to finish the job by expelling remaining Progressives, on both the right and the left, from the White House, Senate and House of Representatives.

How the Constitution is Read

How the Constitution is Read

"How the Constitution is read"...an excellent title for an excellent piece that explores a basic difference between Progressives and Conservatives.

Progressives read the Constitution and change the definition of the words and phrases to suit their preconceived notions and prejudices. And if they can't define the words differently, they rely on a judicial interpretation or construct to do it for them essentially modifying the Constitution without having to go through all that messy democracy stuff. Conservatives, on the other hand, read the Constitution with the meaning of the words and phrases fixed by traditional definitions with the document itself being immutable save for properly approved Amendments using all that messy democracy stuff. Obama and his ilk are clearly Progressives in the same sense as Karl Marx was a Progressive and they see the Constitution as an obstacle to their exercise of power–exactly what it was meant to be–rather than an aide to the exercise of power.

Nowhere has this inability to read plain English been more stark than the Left Stream Media's apoplectic reaction to Christine O'Donnell's statement that "the separation of church and state" is not in the Constitution. She is, of course, absolutely correct and the liberal, state-controlled media was absolutely wrong. O'Donnell, you see, has apparently actually read the Constitution whereas her opponent, Chris Coons, and the media rely on what they believe the 1st Amendment is supposed to say. In truth, the separation of church and state as a legal argument originated as a construct of a Supreme Court Justice in the 20th century.

California Death Penalty Once Again Thwarted by Thug Huggers

California:  That mystical home of liberals, Democrats and Progressives where the citizenry, wearing flowers in their hair and appropriately toked-up, of course, gather in a protective circle around a murderous scum-bag to prevent his execution for the horrific rape and murder of a 14-year old girl in 1980 while at the same time promoting the abortion-at-will ideal that kills a baby who has never committed a transgression against anyone just for the convenience of the "mother."

When you think about it, it is actually kind of easy to figure out why that state is such an absolute mess.

Washington’s Worst Nightmare: A Principled Man

Washington's Worst Nightmare: A Principled Man

I was raised by a man who lived by principles. My father believed in voting but never discussed who he voted for as a matter of principle. He dealt fairly with others as a matter of principle whether it was selling cattle or buying a new horse. He was a man of the land who believed that men should be treated as equals unless they showed themselves to be unprincipled then at that point, he would have nothing further to do with them.

As you can imagine, he didn't have much time for politicians.

"Joe the Plumber" thus strikes a chord with his opinion released on Big Government. Washington has operated without principles for far too long and it was never more clearly demonstrated than when RINO Sen. Lindsey Graham (r-SC) (Note: The lower case "r" is not an accident in Graham's case.) announced that he would support Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court. If Graham were a true Republican he would oppose Kagan on principle for her views are clearly an anathema to Republicans, especially Conservative Republicans, throughout the land and, I am certain, in his home state. I would daresay that his position is a greater embarrassment to Conservatives in the state of South Carolina than Bill Clinton's oral sex escapades in the Oval Office were to the nation as a whole.

Principle. A simple three-sylable word that is apparently unfathomable to Washington politicians. It is something that We the People sorely need and want in Washington but it is something that will continue to be elusive unless we turn-out as many incumbent politicians as possible in November. Our collective votes will decide whether our Nation will return to the principles of our Founders or whether the future of the country will be ruled by Progressives who view principles as an archaic idea and who hide behind the labels offered by our two-party system. We the People are the only ones who can force politicians to be principled for they have clearly demonstrated an inability to remain principled when left to their own devices.

House Majority Leader: No Budget This Year

This is the type of leadership that the Neo-Lib Democrats bring to the table.  The one most important duty of the Congress is to draw up the federal budget; but the Neo-Libs know that presenting the budget with what they want to spend and showing that to the electorate will ensure their total defeat in November.  It is clear that what they plan to do is something to which a majority of Americans will object.

Do we need a better reason to vote every Neo-Lib Democrat–and some Progressive Republicans–out of office as well?  It's time to call them what they are and send them all packing.  Get involved this year.  It's just that important.

Is This Just a Nightmare, or Did It Really Happen?

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But, then, I repeat myself.

 -- Mark Twain

Is This Just a Nightmare, or Did It Really Happen?

To all who watched the debacle the message was clear: We hate the United States.

That's the only conclusion that can be drawn after seeing a standing ovation for a two-bit, tin-pot head of state who had just insulted and slammed one of the United States, Arizona, while standing before a joint session of Congress. The crass, ignorant and highly politicized ovation was clear evidence that the left side of the aisle has no respect for America or Americans. They are clearly uncomfortable with the United States being an independent nation and the leader of the free world. They would rather that we were like all the other near-do-well nations in the world with a socialist government system and a compliant underclass to serve the needs of the political, and need I say rich, ruling elite. They have ceased to honor our nation and the sacrifices of those who built it. Instead they honor only their party, the Democrat Party, and their regime, The Obama Regime. I have never seen a more insipid and dishonorable act in my entire life although they have existed in history. Benedict Arnold was bolder and more honorable in his treason than are those who stood and applauded Mexican Presidente Felipe Calderon. If politicians were capable of shame, I would shout it to their faces. But these people, these pretenders to honor, have no conscience and no shame. They only have ambition to power.

Democrats and Vote Fraud: On the Road to Rigged Elections

Democrats and Vote Fraud: On the Road to Rigged Elections

There is a reason that Neo-libs like illegal immigrants and it's not that they feel sorry for them. If they did...if they truly did...feel sorry for the economic plight that caused millions of Latinos to flee their homelands to the south and make the dangerous trek through Mexico to cross the border illegally, they would have been pressing the Latin American leadership to do something for their people other than steal the wealth of their labors. Instead, they host cocktail parties for the Latin elite or encourage entertainers to go visit them á la Sean Penn's sick, sycophantic visits to Hugo Chavez. No, the Neo-libs have a use for illegal aliens...especially every November.

Another Democrat Who has Problems with the Truth

 Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But, then, I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain

Unfortunately, Richard Blumenthal is all too typical of the neo-liberals, or liberal-progressive-socialists, who are now in control of the Democrat party.  The meaning of truth escapes them as they drive for power so they can control the destiny of We the People.

Clearly, Blumenthal is ethically challenged and I would question if he is fit for any type of public office let alone the United States Senate.

Oh, it's the third paragraph.  Did I mention he is a Democrat?  The New York Slime didn't mention it until the third paragraph so I waited to say it until then, too.

Also, there is no word on whether or not he was being coached by Senator John Kerry, another "distinguished" Vietnam veteran who is documented as having troubles with the truth.

The Ugly Side of Social Justice

The Ugly Side of Social Justice

Social justice is not justice. It is a term that today more accurately means using the façade of justice to justify crime because the one making the judgment favors the one being judged. Liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats love the idea of social justice because it excuses their actions which would be considered criminal in any other setting. For instance, destroying millions of dollars in property by burning a Hummer dealership is not a crime under social justice because Hummers are bad for the environment. Never mind the destruction of personal property or the monetary loss for workers or the owners. Social justice doesn't just take into consideration the motive, it demands that the motive be considered as an excuse. I'm sure that social justice would have been comforting to the non-surviving members of the Donner Party. And I'm certain that Martin Bormann would have been excused for the crimes of the National Socialist Party in Germany had he been tried in Iran as social justice would have demanded it.

Social justice is not justice. It is merely a way to excuse the illegal and illegitimate actions of those who support the ruling liberal elite or to condemn those who oppose the policies of the liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats. That is all it is. Nothing more. Nothing less. And contrary to the comments of some men who call themselves "religious leaders," ministers or priests, Jesus would not have advocated for social justice as envisioned by the left today. His social justice required that the judge be blind to the social standing of those before the court so that the rich and the poor, the downtrodden and the powerful, were all treated alike. His social justice advocated that all men were created equal and and thus must be judged equally.

But you DON'T have to show a picture ID for the most important thing you can do as a citizen: vote. The Democrats trot out racism and discrimination claims every time the issue comes up because if people actually had to be citizens when they voted, the chances of Democrats winning elections would drop by 50%.
