For Gun Owners

This comes from Charlie Daniels’ website.

If you’ve read this column for very long you know that I rarely ever ask anybody to support any cause, but there is an emergency developing in this nation and as usual the media is ignoring it and I feel it is urgent to get the word out.

There is currently a bill making it’s way through Congress, it is called H.R. 45: Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 and it is designed for no other reason but to restrict gun ownership and make it difficult and expensive to buy ammunition.

In my humble opinion the milksops on Capitol Hill are trying to slip this one through without attracting any attention.

Here’s the gist of it, you need to write your Senators and Representative ASAP!

Just copy this:

Dear Congressman/Senator whoever:

I am extremely concerned about the climate in Washington concerning firearms control.

In this day of rampant crime, home invasion and potential terrorist attacks, We The People need to know what our elected officials are thinking on the subject.

So I ask, with all due respect, and please don’t parse or elaborate, a simple sentence or two will suffice. Where do you stand on gun owner’s rights, and do you or will you support H.R. 45: Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009?

Anxiously awaiting your honest response.

God Bless America

Send it out. Let these morons in Congress know how you stand on this.

Specialist Michael Carter – Someone You Should Know

This soldier should get a waiver for Special Forces Assessment and Selection and begin the next class in the Q course.  Of the ten Silver Stars awarded for the battle of Shok Valley, nine were earned by SF soldiers.  The tenth was awarded to a combat cameraman:

The story behind the Silver Stars

Nineteen 3rd Special Forces Group soldiers received the Silver Star Medal during a Valor Awards Ceremony in the JFK Auditorium at Fort Bragg, N.C., Dec. 12, 2008. The Silver Star is the 3rd highest military decoration that can be awarded to any member of the United States Armed Forces.

Stories of Valor

There are no roads leading into the Shok Valley. The village, which stands sentinel over the valley, is home to one of the fiercest of the insurgent forces in Afghanistan – the Hezeb Islami al Gulbadin, or HIG.

On April 6, 2008 a daring raid into the stronghold by Afghan Commandos and their Special Forces counterparts tested the mettle of the Afghan forces and further forged the bond between them and their SF brothers.

On Dec. 12, Lieutenant General John F. Mullholland, commander of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, pinned Silver Stars on the chests of 10 of the men involved in the raid and the ensuing six and a half hour firefight that saw more than 150 insurgents killed.

Valor of combat cameraman earns him Silver Star

It was daybreak on April 6 when the air assault force thundered around the corner of a mountain in northeastern Afghanistan into what they knew would be a buzz saw.

A swarm of Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters packed with about 40 Special Forces soldiers from C Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group and another 100 Afghan special operations commandos descended into the rugged Shok valley in Nuristan province, what they called in the battle narrative “a well known sanctuary of the Hezeb Islamic al Gulbadin terrorist organization.”

Carrying at least 60 pounds of gear on their backs, some of the men jumped down 10 feet onto the ice-covered ground from the hovering helicopters. Operating at about 10,000 feet, the group began a grueling two-mile trek alongside a fast-moving river, moving toward a higher ground. There, a heavily armed force of insurgents waited.

The plan was to fight from above, but they began taking fire during the ascent onto a terraced ridgeline, and for the next seven hours a furious battle would test the Green Berets’ mettle in ways even the most experienced hadn’t seen.

Danger-close air support strikes just 40 feet above one position – where the mission commander and others were pinned into a shallow nook on a cliff face – blocked out the sun and rained down huge rocks that broke soldiers’ bones. Machine-gun fire and rocket-propelled grenades popped and exploded all around them. Snipers cut them off from movement and critically wounded team members who tried to get to them.

Baby Grace, Riley Ann Sawyers

The trial of Baby Grace begins. In case you missed it, Southern Sass on Crime has the run down.

These two people deserve all the punishment that God can dole out. I just hope Texas does the right thing with this one.

Baby Grace: The trial begins

Riley Ann Sawyers ( aka Baby Grace ) was born in Ohio on March 11, 2005. She was murdered on July 24, 2007 and her biological mother Kimberly Dawn Trenor and step-father Royce Clyde Zeigler II have been charged with her torture/murder.

After having her trial postponed last fall, Kimberly Dawn Trenor will be having her day(s) in court this coming week in Texas for the brutal murder of her little girl, Riley Ann, or as we all came to know her, Baby Grace. A blue Sterilite tub containing a child’s tiny corpse had washed ashore in Galveston Bay, Texas . The mystery surrounding this baby and her death was the talk of many for over a month.

Trenor pleaded guilty to a charge of evidence tampering last week but will not be sentenced until after the murder trial.

Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty for Trenor or her husband Royce Clyde Zeigler II because they felt they couldn’t prove either of them to be a future danger…..one of the requirements for the harshest of punishments. They both remain in Galveston County jail under $850,000 bail.

The Media, and Congressional Racism

In the Media Bias category, we have this little nugget from PBS .

More racist drivel from black racist assholes.

PBS: Obama Our First Truly American President

Did you know that Barack Obama is our first truly American president?

You didn’t?

Well, according to Emmy Award winning commentator John Ridley he is.

The following insulting segment was aired January 22 on Los Angeles’s PBS station KCET (video embedded below the fold, h/t Hot Air via NB reader Thomas Stewart):

Every president to hold office has espoused some version of Americanism; the truths that we hold self-evident, even when those truths are not always in evidence. But for all their grand rhetoric and mostly good deeds, none was able to seal the deal on the trifecta of equality, plurality and socioeconomic ascendancy. Obama has. Obama is the more perfect union. He is a house united. Obama is the New Generation and the hot light of a dawn that goes way beyond clever phraseology of “Morning in America.”

Quite simply, quite plainly, just by virtue ofhis being, Obama is America, and the first true American to lead our nation.

Wow. I guess the previous 43 weren’t really Americans.

Who’d a thunk it?

Racism of the Congressional Black Caucus
President’s spokesman cites ‘membership policies’ as explanation

At least three times racism has raised its head in the new administration of President Obama, and now his chief spokesman has cited “membership policies” as an explanation for the all-whites-are-banned practice of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs responded to the question from Les Kinsolving, WND’s correspondent at the White House, following the conclusion of today’s press briefing at the White House.

“To your knowledge has the president ever disagreed with the expressed hope that children ‘could live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character’ as made by Dr. King,” Kinsolving asked.

More stupidity in a week than Bush could pull off in a year! How stupid is the jug eared douche nozzle? He makes it even more expensive for car manufacturers to develop cars. Way to go moron.

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES SO WHAT DOES OBAMA DO? INCREASE FUEL EFFICIENCIES!!!

Sure, it’s all well and good to demand cars get better gas mileage but to do so when Americans are already NOT buying cars; to do so when our own auto manufacturers are falling into bankruptcy; and to do so knowing full well the new efficiency requirements could tack on up to $10,000 to the price of each car is utter folly.

If people are not buying now, how many will they buy when the prices are higher?

President Barack Obama wants automakers to make greener cars at a time when General Motors and Chrysler are hanging by the thread of a massive government loan and auto sales have plummeted to their lowest levels in more than two decades.

Obama’s plans could bring smaller cars, more hybrids and advanced fuel-saving technologies to showrooms, but car shoppers will probably pay more upfront because the new rules are expected to cost the hamstrung industry billions of dollars.

“The consumer needs to understand that they will see significant increases in the cost of vehicles,” said Rebecca Lindland, an auto analyst for the consulting firm IHS Global Insight. Her firm estimated the upgrades could add $2,000 to $10,000 to the price of a vehicle.

But it gets worse. He also ordered the EPA to review whether states could set their own emissions standards to be tougher than federal standards.

His first TV interview speaks volumes. The President of the United States of America has decided that the American people can suck his ass. He felt that it was his place to tell the Pisslamists of the Middle East how he would be different and suck their asses.
This man is the wrong man to be President. He is a danger to the United States and I feel is a usurper of the presidency.

For the 52% of you that voted for this fucker without vetting him for what he really is, you are morons. I have a sinking feeling that if the trends that this jug eared douche nozzle continue unabated, this country will be torn apart. A second civil war is not out of the question.

Half of America, if not more, does not want their tax dollars going towards baby murder, but this moron said screw you and said that tax dollars will go towards abortion. You fuckers really picked a winner. (Sarcasm, in case it is lost upon you).

To show his gratitude, he is sucking up to his monetary supporters from the Arab streets (the undocumented donors).

Obama chooses Arab network for first TV interview

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) – President Barack Obama on Tuesday chose an Arabic satellite TV network for his first formal television interview as president, delivering a message to the Muslim world that “Americans are not your enemy.”

The interview underscored Obama’s commitment to repair relations with the Muslim world that have suffered under the previous administration.

The president expressed an intention to engage the Middle East immediately and his new envoy to the region, former Sen. George J. Mitchell, was expected to arrive in Egypt on Tuesday for a visit that will also take him to Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

“My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy,” Obama told the Saudi-owned, Dubai-based Al-Arabiya news channel.

No asshole. Your job is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. EPIC FAILURE.

Al-Hopiyah, Al Changiyah!

In the rubble of the United Nations compound, Gaza City, partially blown-up Mortar Pit No. 6:

Farouk: Look, Achmed! Ali, come quick. The new president of Amerikiyah, Hussein Obama, is being interviewed upon al-Arabiyah! Even before he speaks to his own people upon the TV, he speaks to us! He speaks of our righteous Jihad against the filthy Zionists! It is true what they say … is he not charming?

I do think that it is impossible for us to think only in terms of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and not think in terms of what’s happening with Syria or Iran or Lebanon or Afghanistan and Pakistan. These things are interrelated. And what I’ve said, and I think Hillary Clinton has expressed this in her confirmation, is that if we are looking at the region as a whole and communicating a message to the Arab world and the Muslim world, that we are ready to initiate a new partnership based on mutual respect and mutual interest, then I think that we can make significant progress.

Achmed: This is very interesting, Farouk. You see, he clearly agrees that the Zionist entity, as the root of all evil and discord within the lands of the Caliphate, must be swept into the sea. “Looking at the region as a whole.” What else can this mean but that the Crusaders are prepared to submit to the brothers in Iraq and also the wild ones in the Hindu Kush.

Let there be signs and wonders.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Redux

The good, the bad and the ugly. It will only get worse from here. Count on that. Comrade Obama doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. He has zero executive experience. I hope he is a fast leaner, otherwise America is screwed.

Obama’s first week: The good, the bad, and the ugly

By Rick Moran

It is probably too early to get a good handle on what kind of president Barack Obama will turn out to be. After all, it’s been less than 4 days since he took the oath for keeps.

Still, the study of the American presidency is an examination of the exercise of power in a democratic republic. How does Obama turn his comfortable electoral victory into actionable policies and programs?

Taking the raw, unformed mandate of victory at the polls and shaping it into a club to get Congress and the various departments to do his bidding has been his first chore. In this, he has succeeded. He controls the agenda. His own party looks to him for leadership, while the Republicans — both for political and traditional reasons — are generally inclined to grant him the benefit of the doubt. This so-called “honeymoon” is nothing more than recognition by the opposition of political reality. The Republicans lost by near-landslide proportions, and now that his popularity has skyrocketed during the transition, to be seen hindering Obama is to be seen as obstructing the will of the people. At least, that’s the argument that Democrats would make.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Too many agree.

The Ten Trillion Dollar Black Swan

By Mike Razar

It is nearly unanimous. The reason for the current financial mess isn’t over-leveraging, or criminally negligent management and Directors, or even an excess supply of millions of homes. It is that darn mark-to-market rule. Just ask Warren Buffet, Donald Trump and other financial geniuses. Even the journalists are on board…Steve Forbes, Ben Stein, Lou Dobbs, and (gasp) Bill O’Reilly. I haven’t heard Cavuto on the subject. He is usually the sharpest, most level-headed one of all, so I’m hoping he’s not on the same train. Politicians galore…no big surprise…anything to find an easy scapegoat.

My usual reaction to that kind of herd mentality is that if they all agree, they must be wrong. Yes, I’m that much of a cynic. But then I see that even Newt agrees. Wow. Maybe this time they are right. And then I start thinking. It is unlikely that a huge mess like this has a single cause. But imagine that we follow their advice. Instead of marking to market, let the firms carry bad paper at face value. Wait just a minute (I hear you cry)! That paper really isn’t so bad. Just because the collateral doesn’t cover the loan amount doesn’t mean the loan will go bad. Well, maybe you’re right. I know how you can prove it. Just buy the stuff at a 10% discount to face value. That should be a good cushion. Put your money where you mouth is or shut up!

Gun Show Loophole Lies

Posted: 27 Jan 2009 in (2nd) Second Amendment, Guns, Politics

Excellent article on the “gun show loophole” that is really a sham to begin with. Too bad there are people that do not understand how a gun show works.

I went to one here in Ontario, the Crossroads of the West Gun Show, and inquired as to the method of purchase for a firearm from a dealer there at the show.

It is exactly the same method as it would have been had I walked into his store in Riverside. Except that I could give him $100 there, do the paperwork for the background check and the requisite state and federal BS, and in ten days pick said firearm up after I proffered the rest of the money I owe for the firearm.

Nope. No loophole whatsoever. It’s a lie made up by the gn grabbers of the Brady bunch ilk to scare the idiots that don’t know any better.

Gun show sales not big source of problems

Richmond Times-Dispatch

Recently, the state Crime Commission deadlocked over whether to recommend closing the so-called gun-show loophole. The issue has become a perennial at the General Assembly, which is considering the matter once again this year. Once again, legislators should vote no.

Licensed firearms dealers — those who buy and sell guns as a business — are required to conduct background checks on prospective buyers.

The “loophole” in question refers to the fact that individuals selling guns from their own private collection do not have to — either within gun-show venues, or in the parking lot, or in their own homes.

Gun-control advocates often muddy the issue by referring to “unlicensed dealers” at gun shows, of which there are indeed many. They sell holsters, flashlights, hunting knives, T-shirts, books, gun safes — even jewelry. But an unlicensed dealer who sold guns as a business would invite felony charges under federal law.

Gun-control advocates also suggest, albeit with scant evidence, that gun shows supply a significant share of the weapons used in crime.

Federal data indicate otherwise. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics report, “Firearm Use by Offenders,” only about 1 percent of guns used in crimes come from gun shows. In fact, most crime guns — 57 percent — come from just 1 percent of licensed dealers. Federal and state law-enforcement agencies should come down on those renegade dealers like a ton of bricks.
