Second Amenment Rights

America and the Second Amendment, is it still valid? Oh, I know, there are thousands of people who are screaming that the right to own firearms does not belong to the people, but only to the state militia. I hear a lot of liberals/fascist/socialist/communist insist that if it were not for guns we would not have crime. No one would ever be shot. All those children who accidentally shoot themselves or their friends would be alive if it weren't for those evil guns. The funny thing is, every state and city with the harshest laws against the honest citizen, the most restrictive laws, are also the area's where crime runs ramped.
The questions about the terminology of the Second Amendment has been discusses and talked about over the years. Yet all it takes is for someone to read the intention of the founders to know the answer to these questions. Is the right of ownership reserved for the militia alone or for the people as a whole?
John Madison, our fourth President and author of our Constitution and Bill of Rights has this to say:

"The Constitution preserves "the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation... (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." (The Federalist, No. 46)
Wow, what does this one statement tell us? That every nation that fears it's people is a nation that is against it's people. Look at Adolf Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol-Pot and every other communist and dictator nation on this earth. What was the first thing the government did? Take away the firearms from the people! Why? Because the people will now be subservient to anything the government want to do, any dictate or law can be processed without fear of retaliation from the people. Ask all those millions of Vietnamese that we ran out on, what it meant to be unarmed and unprotected. Ask the Jews what it was like when Germany took away their guns.
We are already at a disadvantage because of the 1968 gun laws, which ironically were taken almost verbatim from Hitlers gun laws. Congress and the socialists have done their best to convince America that the firearms are for "sport shooting and hunting". These statements are far from the truth. Our Second Amendment was designed to follow through with our countries Declaration of Independence. If our government fails to be for the people and by the people, if it decide to take away your rights as stated in the Constitution (not the make believe rights of the liberals), if our government becomes inattentive to the voice of it's citizens, the citizen has the absolute right to reclaim their country. That is what the South did during the War Between the States (1861-65). In an effort to extract themselves from a tyrannical government, as they perceived it, they took up arms, the most advanced arms that they had. During our Revolution we used the most advance firearms of the times, the Brown Bess. Yet our government, in fear of the people has made it illegal to own military grade firearms, a direct violation of the Second Amendment.
I wonder what James Madison would say about our predicament today? Would he favor our laws or have other speeches of wisdom?

Obama's Economics

Obamanomics, the new word for economic disaster. If we thought John McCain was left behind in the economic education department, wait till you take notice and read all about Obama's proposals for America. If you have read my post titled "show me the money" this will just be more detailed information on policies.

According to Larry Kudlow of CNBC, "Obama's spend-o-meter is now up around $800 billion." Try that again .. $800 billion. And by taxing only the rich will not fill the coffers enough to fulfill all of his pledges and promises. He is going to have to attack the middle class to meet his financial responsibilities.

Lets start with his proposal to increase the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour and would like to see minimum wage attached to inflation. As inflation increases so does minimum wage. Now this doesn't look bad, does it? Lets consider the true impact of such an act. It will promote to hiring of more illegal aliens, they are off the books and work for slave wages (America's new slave trade). More of our youth will not have the opportunity to earn money because no one is going to hire extra help at these prices. Lets take this a step further, your Big Mac is going to cost you a few extra dollars to support the high wages paid for unskilled workers. For your information, minimum wage was invented to provide a minimum income for a "trainee", unskilled, untaught individual. This level of income was NOT intended for you to remain there, just to learn and move on. Each time these wages have been increased, fewer of our young men and women are able to find jobs because fewer small business are hiring more people.

Although 52% of American citizens own stocks, Senator Obama wants to raise the Capital Gains tax to 30%, doubling the current 15% tax. What does this mean to our economy you may ask. It will lower the investments made by corporations, individuals and investors. These investors will most likely seek investments in foreign markets, and keep from paying taxes on the gains until they sell them. They don't have to sell them until our tax policies are realistic so the outcome will be a lowering of American investments. This will cause a downturn in our economy and provide us with excessive unemployment.
Why would Senator Obama do such damaging maneuver? Simple, Mr. Obama maintains very few stocks. Obama has never been an investor and as such does not understand the principles. All he is looking at is the fact that CEO's and managers are reaping huge sums of money from stocks and thinks that they are the ones taking money from the people. In order to punish the stock brokers for earning money, he is willing to punish the entire economy and all of the small investors. This is pure ignorance of economic matters at work.
Under Obamanomics, the United States will become the highest taxed nation in the world. While most nations are lowering their tax rates, he will be raising ours. More than twenty countries have adopted the "flat tax" principles that have been touted by such pundits as President Ronald Regan, Steve Forbes and countless others. Our foreign neighbors will have a booming economy while America will lag behind and possibly go into an extended recession. Obama's economics will such the lifeblood out of our economy and our nation.
Stay tuned for more information about Obamanomics.

Liberal or Progressive

Isn't it funny how people change their descriptive title in order to sound better than they are? For years the American people have heard the battle cry of "we are Liberal" and proud of it. Well, after all these years of finding out how devastating the title of "Liberal" is to their political movement, the left has transformed into the party of the "Progressives". This is to give the impression that all others are stagnant, not moving, stale. Only the progressive truly understands the issues and the needs of the people. If you are not with a progressive, hook line and sinker, then you are ignorant and can't really understand the intelligence of the truly advanced human being. That is precisely what Hugo Chavez said when he failed to secure the presidency for life.

What is a progressive? According to the dictionary: "favoring and promoting social reform. ... characterized by emphasis on individual needs." Something in the line of "..a system of thought that gives class struggle a primary role in leading society from bourgeois democracy under capitalism to a socialist society..." Marxist. "..A social system in which the producers possess both political power and the means of producing and distributing goods.." Socialist.
If you listen to a progressive, they all advocate the above sentiments, but attempt to add sweets to make it sound better. But how many have actually thought about what is being shoved down your throats? How many of you have actually considered the implications of the transition?
It's not hard to see, really. Look at Russia, China, Venezuela and Cuba. Each of these countries have done wonders for the "people". While the ruling class has everything, cars, houses, money and food, the "people" struggle to maintain a small apartment and stand in line for hours for food. The only people that progress and advance are those that are connected to the ruling party. The rulers have all the good doctors and immediate health care while the people are subjected to long waits for any health care and most often by an incompetent doctor. If it is an emergency, you can see a doctor by bribing him.
What does Progressive, Marxist and Socialism have in common? They are all designed to take away your right to "progress", your right to advance, because it is more important to support those factions of our society who prefer not to work. It is more important that everyone has the same and no one is left out. It is better to take your money away and give it to someone who has less, that way we are all happy and content. Each of these political systems are designed to control you and mold you into little working ants. Think about it, no more concerns about making a lot of money or even working for that matter. Someone else will worry for you, Big Brother in Washington will watch over you and care for you.
Today we have two candidates who openly proclaim they are "Progressive". They are afraid to mention the word Liberal due to it's connotation. The both insist that we must "take from those that have much and give to those that have little". This is called income distribution, steal from those that have and give to those that don't.
Yet, in America, a person has always had the opportunity and right to advance themselves. How many Americans started with nothing and became millionaires? No one has ever stopped an American from becoming rich. It is a personal decision, work or don't work. You cannot drop out of school and drink all day then expect to be a millionaire. Everyone who desires to become rich can, it isn't like Europe and a far better system than England, Canada, Russia and China. Our system is based on the individuals abilities and dedication.

So we have a choice in this election, do we want Big Brother taking over or keep America free. Do we vote for "Change we can believe in" or change we can live with? While I truly feel that American does not have a champion in the running for this election, I am also very afraid of the alternatives. If either democratic candidate takes office as President of the Untied States of America, we will face a barrage of taxes, re-distribution of income, terrorist attacks here in the states (because we have run in the face of Islam) and your personal rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights will be erased. One of the first will be the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Both Hillary and Obama are dead set on taking away the "right of the people" to own firearms, and both, with the help of a liberal congress, attack that right until they take it away. Once that one right is eliminated, we will loose them all. So do you vote for "Change we can believe in" or not? Think carefully on this position, it could mean everything to your future.

Liberman - Warner Tax Proposal

Energy Information Administration (EIA) has produced an analysis of the "America's Climate Security Act - S.2191 (Liberman-Warner)

According to the Environment & Public Works Committee, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Olka),
"Multiple government and private analyses now clearly show that the bill is wrong for America,". "The EIA analyses projected unacceptable increases in Americans average annual household energy bills up to $325 in 2020 and $723 by 2030. And this does not factor in transportation-related costs. The EIA also found that the Lieberman-Warner bill would lead to higher coal, natural gas and petroleum prices."

"Further, EIA's gloomy economic analysis is contingent upon the U.S. building more than 2 1/2 times as many new nuclear plants as are currently operating,". Basically speaking, the Lieberman-Warner bill would decrease our manufacturing by at least 9.5% by 2030. "If Democrats have their way, Americans will pay significantly more at the pump, in their homes, and in many cases, with their jobs, all to accomplish and undetectable impact on the climate."

EPA's analysis of Liberman-Warner bill: 1.8 Million jobs will be lost by 2020; Carbon mandate would harm consumers, jobs and economy; Gas will rise by 53 cents per gallon: cutting emissions may cost U.S. economy up to 108 Trillion dollars.

Show me the Money!


That's part of what this presidential election is going to come down to. Who is going to take your money our of your wallet. Unless you like some of our super rich citizens, who are more than willing to hand up your hard earned cash for the good of the whole, you may be interested in these figures.

Capital Gains Tax:
McCain 15% (no change)
Obama 28%
Clinton 24%

Dividend Tax:
McCain 15% (no change)
Obama 39.6%
Clinton 39.6%

Income Tax:
McCain (no changes)
Single 30K = $4,500 tax
Single 50K = $12,500
Single 75K =$18,750
Married 60K =$9,000
Married 75K =$18,750
Married 125K =$31,250

Obama and Clinton (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single 30K =$8,400 Tax
Single 50K =$14,000
Single 75K =$23,250
Married 60K =$16,800
Married 75K =$21,000
Married 125K =$38,750

Inheritance Tax:
McCain 0% (no change, Bush repealed the tax)
Obama Return to inheritance tax
Clinton Return to inheritance tax

Some of the new taxes proposed by both Hillary Clinton and Obama:

Additional gas taxes, new taxes for dwellings over 2400 square feet, new taxes to pay for the multi-billion dollar health care program, taxes on natural resources (gas, water, electricity, etc)

Overall, after analyzing Obama's promised planes and new taxes, which include: Health care ($65 Billion per year); energy plan ($15 Billion a year); national infrastructure re-investment bank ($6 Billion a year); assistance to the poor ; "fairness for middle class"; Economic stimulus package ($75 Billion); education (18 Billion a year); national service plan (&14 Billion a year); foreign assistance funding (increase by $25 Billion per year); "Obama for America" tax of 1/7th of 1% tax to give to poor countries ($845Billion per year), and the list goes on and on. Check it out: http://www.barackobama.com/

All and all, Barack Obama will cost Americans about $874.35 Billion dollars in added programs for one term in the White House. Not bad for a beginner. Hillary Clinton's package is almost the same but with different programs. Now like I said, if Soros, Bloomberg and Hollywood want to pay for this bill, welcome to it, they have more than enough cash to support their socialist dream. I do not believe that the American people can afford such spending. We need government to STOP spending and decrease their appetite. I sort of liked my tax break from President Bush and I'm far from the cream of the crop. I'm not "Rich" but that tax break helped my family, now the with the likes of Obama and Clinton, they want to take those meager funds away so they can re-distribute them to others, even other countries or the United Nations.

Even if you have no concept of foreign relations, economics, judicial matters or military matters, you have to have some knowledge of finances, or your one of those that bought your home without sufficient funds and are now loosing it. This socialist program does NOT belong in America and we cannot afford, financially or historically, to embrace the demise of the American culture and convert it to a socialist government, where every one has a chicken for the pot but you don't have a pot for the chicken.

Climate change will cost you money

Climate Warming or is it Change now? The snake oil salesmen of our country and government have managed to sell Climate Change as a disease, something we can cure because we did it in the first place. The same crowd that always blam's America for every ill this world has. Not to get too far off track, these are the same scientist that proclaimed "Global Cooling" in the 1970's. According to their guess, we were supposed to go into an ice age, whereby killing off our food supply within twenty years. Funny thing is, we still have food, warm climate in zones and cool climate in their zones. Nothing changed, but does anyone remember these charlatans of yesteryear? Apparently not. Because the same story is being told again and again, and this time by a former Vice President of the United States, Al Gore (I invented the Internet). The difference is, we have had thirty years to dumb down our citizens through our socialist agenda schools. Our dope smoking draft dodgers of the sixties, who became teachers to keep from going into the service, are in charge of teaching our children morals, logic's and the three "R"s. Boy are we in trouble. They were in love with Marxism back then and have been indoctrinating our children since then.



Well, now that the entire world has lost their brains and have bought into the concept that man has caused all our global weather, it's time for man to fix it. But wait, how do you fix Mother Nature? If you listen to Al Gore and the left wing loonies, it's to offset your carbon footprint by investing in Al Gore's company. Why do I say it's Al Gore's company? Because he has the majority of stock and will ultimately receive a sizable amount of money if he can get his way, by creating a new "Law" which will force you and me to finance him and make him a super billionaire.



How is he going to manage that you may ask, but spend time looking to me, just look at the Climate Security Act introduced by Liberman-Warner (S.2191) which will cap emissions of carbon dioxide and gasses suspected of attributing to global warming. More than 80% of emissions reduction would have to come from the energy section and to reduce our emission by this amount by 2020 will be devastating to our economy and the way we live. According to the Milwaukee Business Journal, these demands will ultimately increase the cost of energy, especially in natural gas prices.



According to Libermann and Warner, along with the usual brain numb circle of idiots, believe these costs will only amount to about twenty five cents per person. But according to John Engler, president and CEO of National Association of Manufacturers, it "runs the risk of doing more economic harm than environmental good,". Others have suggested that the actual amount this bill will cost America, will be in the billions of dollars. The only way to avoid this catastrophic collision between reality and government is to utilize technology that does not exist yet.



The bill would allow companies who do not use their carbon credits (notice the term "carbon credits"?) and could sell them to other companies who's carbon footprint is too large. This cap and trade system would cause major investments in energy technologies, which as of now seems to be dominated by who else but Al Gore. In effect, this legal move would create the next generation of oil Barron's in this country. This bill had to be written with the help of Al Gore because so much of it's wording is duplicated in this advertisement for his movie.



Now the big question , is Al Gore guilty of creating fraud against the American people with the help of his cronies in Washington and Hollywood? Too many scientist disagree with Al Gore and company. Too much evidence exists that suggest this is a natural occurrence and he is aware of it. Yet, Al Gore and the left loonies will not allow an open debate between their so called scientist and those that insist that this is a natural occurrence of our world. If Al Gore is profiting from deliberately misleading the public, and gaining government assistance, is he guilty? If this bill passes, your pocket book will convict him, but then it will be too late.

Obama requirs America to Ask Permission

Senator and Presidential candidate Obama has decided to relinquish much of Americas destiny to that of the United Nations and the world as a whole. Yesterday while speaking in Oregon, he admonished Americans for using too much food, too much fuel and too much energy. Although these commodities are generated here in America, Senator Obama feels that the world body has a right to say how much we use. It appears the Senator Obama is more of a Marxist than even Hillary Clinton. He appears to be throwing us under the international bus and destroying the America we were born in or moved to.

How dare Senator Obama or the world community to judge our consumption. The United States is a sovereign nation which feeds most of the world, yet we are accused of using more than our "fair" share of our commodities? When a disaster occurs overseas, who is the first country to respond? Who sends the most goods and manpower? It's sure not China, Russia or Sudan. It's the United States of America. What does Senator Obama want from this country for us to take care of the entire world, to support them for the rest of their lives, so they may have luxuries equivalent to those found in America?

This new world order that Senator Obama wants to create is far more exaggerated than even President Clinton's concept of a new wold order. All this hype about world approval is an attempt to destroy our Constitution and fall under the banner of a one nation concept, a United Nations concept. Many of the super liberal aspects of our civilisation has fought for that take over for years, and now they appear to have a strong candidate and mouthpiece for the eventual slight of hand maneuver to create that one world government. Over two hundred years of trying to perfect this Republic and a socialist is set to destroy our great country.

Ask permission from the world bodies on what we can and cannot consume? Are you kidding me? If Senator Obama wants everything equal across the board, why isn't he attacking the civil rights abuses of most the countries in this world. Why isn't he concerned with all the military governments and the socialist governments waiting to pounce upon America? God forbid. The only thing he can concern himself with is our necessity to as the worlds permission. Maybe he should run for the president of the UN and leave America to the Americans to run.

DAV Fights Washington

It's that time of the year again, with the President issuing his financial goals and Congress issuing their increases in his budget. So the fight starts. As usual, it is the Veteran who takes the first financial hit. I find if very difficult to swallow the voices of the President and that of Congress, both praising the spirit and bravery of our soldiers and sailors. They spend every camera minute declaring the need to help our veterans, for all they have given America. This year is no different than any other year.

President Bush has vowed to veto appropriation bills exceeding his spending limits. This years Department of Veterans Affairs is $93.7 BILLION, $44 BILLION for health care and discretionary spending, the remainder is for mandatory spending. Congress, on the other hand, plans on increasing discretionary spending to $48.2 BILLION, which exceeds the Presidents proposal by $3.5 BILLION. The administration is also proposing an increase in fees charged veterans seeking medical attention. The President would like to see an income-based annual enrollment fee which would range from $250.00 to $750.00 and would increase pharmacy co-payment fees from $8 to $15.00. Another shocker from the administration is the possibility of restricting the educational benefits to those servicemen and women who re-enlist.

According to DAV National Adjutant Arthur H. Wilson, "We've set the wheels in motion to improve and enhance heal care for disabled veterans of the current wars and those from previous eras as well." Included in the DAV's proposed legislation are means to ensure treatment for psychological wounds and PTSD; proper screening for veterans who may have had traumatic brain injury; support for caregivers; reform the federal budget process in order to ensure sufficient and timely funding. In addition to the DAV's struggle to ensure care for veterans, they are pressing our representatives in Congress to sign onto "The Stand Up for Veterans" initiative. As the congressmen and women sign onto this new initiative, the DAV will post their support on their website www.dav.org . You can watch and verify that your congressmen/women support all the initiatives pressed by the Disabled American Veteran. Call your congressman/woman and request their support for the Veterans benefits. Seek support for H.R. 4107 and S. 2799.

It is reprehensible for our leaders to continually take from the veteran. This disgraceful attitude has permeated our government ever since our Revolution. Our very first congress lied to our forefathers while relying on their blood to give this great nation birth. Every President and Congress since those disgraceful days of our beginning, has succumbed to the same disgusting premises, the veteran cannot fight back, they have sworn to "protect and defend".
Here are the bravest of our society, those who knowingly provide for their country, rather than sit an home complaining or protesting, they seek out the dangers that threaten our country. When you look at the perks that congress gets, is becomes all to clear. When a congressman only has to serve one term and get a pension plus benefits, including health, office, stamps, etc., who can afford to take care of the only true American, the Veteran.

Today, while talking with the Jewish government, President Bush made references to historical concepts. President Bush talked about the historical events surrounding the placation of Adolf Hitler by Neville Chamberland and the signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938. This one event cost millions of lives throughout the world in an attempt to keep out of any conflict.



Appeasement has never worked. In our own history we can go back to the American Indians, who tried to appease the new invaders. Notice how that worked out? Then President Truman appeased the Russians right after the conflict with Germany, against the advice of General Patton. Look how that little fiasco turned out? How many millions of people killed? No, appeasement does not work. You cannot convince someone who is bent on a violent course of action to have a change of heart, it doesn't work.



It appears that the Democratic Party and Senator Obama have taken President Bush's statements personal. Why I wonder. Wasn't it Senator Obama who contends that he plans on meeting with all our fanatics in the world? Isn't it Senator Obama who said, he plans on working on a solution to their grievances against America?



Now lets take a look at who Senator Obama wants to talk to. Kim Jong-il, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, etc. We have one who has nuclear bombs and spends his time blackmailing the world for food and money. Then we have one bent on destroying Isreal, no matter what the cost, it is a religious dictate and then one who is arming his country against our supposed attack and warning of cutting off our oil supply. Two, Chavez and Kim il are both driven by their Socialist agenda and thirst for dictorial power, while Ahmadinejad is driven by Islam and the mullah's.



My question is this, what does Senator Obama intend to do to placate these rouge regimes? Are we going to continue to supply money and food to countries who's only desire is to see our nation obliterated? Are we going to placate them until Israel is destroyed? Maybe until America is attacked again with better armament?



By his statements alone, Senator Obama has shown his lack of knowledge or foreign affairs and a misguided principle that you can negotiate with those that want to see you dead. America is naive in foreign intelligence anyway. We are hundreds of years behind our counterparts. We still believe a mans word is his bond, but in the world of intelligence, this is not the case. Unfortunately, most of the world does not adhere to those principles. Most countries lie right up front and expect you to know it's a lie. But we want to answerer this situation with Senator Obama singing camp songs and smoking a pipe.
Today is the first day of this ongoing discussion of of OUR, the peoples, rights under the Constitution and the continuous bombardment of the the political leftist to destroy our hard won freedom. I will be addressing multiple issues, including the political landscape of today vs. the politician of yesteryear; the difference in the political parties; what issues are effecting our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

I do not adhere to revisionist history or blame America first. Every country and every civilization has done it's fair share of atrocities and wrongs and to blame one nation for the ills of an entire world is irrational and unjust. My belief in the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution are the key issues of this discussion. Our Constitution is the founding blocks of our great society, and our history is evidence of that success in creating a working Republic.

Although our forefathers have fought and created a form of government never before attempted, we are at the pinnacle of it's demise. History has shown that most dynasties last only about two hundred years before they are destroyed from within. It is that element in our world I intend to address, before we join our historical counterparts.

I hope you come back and join in on the conversation.
