Enemy of my Enemy

We on the right are aware of the contempt that the radical liberal left has for our Constitution. Occupants of Congress, and even the White House itself have shown their unashamed disregard and disrespect for the sacred document that our country is founded upon. Presently we have the Harry Reids, Nancy Pelosis, BHOs, and let’s not forget the former president Bill “I loathe the military” Clinton. Even George W. showed some disregard for the document, though not nearly as egregiously as the present occupant has. Our mainstream media has been in bed with these Constitution haters increasingly more often, and as in any person’s life who is hiding something, sooner or later they’re going to slip up and the truth is going to come out.

Alan Keyes makes some excellent points on this subject today about a remark that liberally biased Chris Matthews coughed up concerning the President’s recent visit to West Point.

Here is an excerpt:

But America's military leaders have been educated to respect the authority of the Constitution, not that of any given individual or faction. As this safeguards the liberty of the people, it also makes the professional discipline of the military a reliable friend to all government officials who act with respect for its constitutional provisions. If Obama faction zealots like Chris Matthews instead see the educational home of that military tradition as the "enemy camp," their apprehension speaks tellingly of their own deep abandonment of the constitutional loyalty they apparently fear in the honorable defenders of the Constitution.


My enemy is the liberal who hates what the founding Fathers of this country envisioned. The enemy of my enemy is the US armed forces, who have sworn to uphold the Constitution. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Got a letter in the mail the other day from none other than the Department of Health and Human Resources Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I'm wondering if anyone else who reads it will find it as disturbing as I did.

It read as follows:

From the Director of the National Center for Health Statistics:

I am asking for your help with an important study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) called the National Immunization Survey (NIS). This survey tells us which vaccines people in the U.S. have received and about other important health topics. Results from the NIS are used to help health officials in their efforts to improve health care programs. In the next few weeks, the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago will call your household to take part in this study for CDC.

For this study, we need to ask about vaccinations and about children's health. Some households also may be asked about the health services their children need or use. If you have a child between 18 and 35 months of age, it would be helpful to have your child's immunization records handy when answering our questions. However, you can also answer these questions without the records.

Your phone number was chosen randomly by computer. It is important for us to interview every household we call to get a complete picture of your area's immunization rates and key factors that might affect them. The study is important, but you do not have to take part, or you can decide not to answer one or more questions.


The letter then goes on to give information about a toll free number you can call to participate in the survey immediately or to find out what types of questions will be asked. It also gives a web address.

The last paragraph includes these words:

Your answers to the NIS will provide information to help improve the nation's health now and in the years ahead...


The really interesting part will be if they actually call me - because I don't have a land line and my cell number is the only number I use.

We're from the Government. You Can Trust Us

A recent audit of the Massachusetts law enforcement agencies uncovered abuse of the state’s criminal records system. It seems law enforcement personnel have improperly and illegally searched for information on “high profile” citizens for reasons other than official business (i.e. curiosity, ill intent, etc.)

Some of the things searched for were driver’s license numbers and photos, home addresses, car ownership, social security numbers, gun purchases, etc.

The US Government is putting more and more information together about its citizens – much of it without the citizens’ knowledge. We’re supposed to feel comfortable about that?

How will Obama’s proposed National Medical Records Database be abused and used against its citizens? Add that to the GPS coordinates being taken on every household in America, Google’s Street View, and proposed Internet control and surveillance

Big Brother won’t just be watching you. He’ll be writing a biography.

Guess who won’t get the royalties.

Tea Party Terrorists

The Tea Party I attended was huge - between 4000 and 5000 people. People like me. Mostly Christian, conservative, family oriented, for smaller government, for small business, for less taxation, for enforcement of our borders against illegals, for the sanctity of life, for freedom, for states' rights, for the Constitution and all its amendments.... Oops...wait a minute ...I think I just described a huge crowd of potential terrorists!

Take a look at some of these potentially threatening right-wing extremists:









Funny. I didn't see any violence. Out of 4-5000 people there with signs, I only saw 2 or 3 that would be considered "offensive". Everyone was polite. I felt safe.
And do you know what all these 1000s of radical right-wingers did when they left the city municipal grounds? They picked up their own trash and left the place spotless.

They sure didn't look or act like terrorists to me...but then, the government always knows best, doesn't it?

Sweet or Unsweet?

No More Bailouts!
Grow Business, Not Government!
Freedom!
Socialism - Just Say No!

These are some of the signs my group will be displaying as we travel 100 miles to be a part of history. The silent majority will not be silent today.

We're going to a tea party.

Word on the street is that ACORN plans to infiltrate and then disrupt tea parties throughout the US, with the purpose of falsely portraying right-wingers as crazies, violent, racist, and extremist. You can bet that out of a 3000 people, if one of them happens to be a skinhead or some other nutjob, THAT is the picture you will see in the headlines. The Media is not happy about this event because they see it as an attack on their Obamessiah. They will do everything to discredit the event - downplay the numbers, find one crazy to interview, look for damning photo-ops etc.

My husband owns his own business, and I took a vacation day with my employer's blessing. (He suggested I wear an indian costume. Sorry, boss, I won't go that far. :) )My youngest is out of school, so he's going with us, along with others.

Will the tea parties accomplish anything overnight? I don't think anyone expects that. But it will be a rallying cry that both the Democrats and Republicans better heed.

"We're all mad here." ~ The Cat in Alice in Wonderland

" 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do..."
~ Howard Beale, the movie NETWORK.

Reason and Logic Lacking in Anti-gunners' Remarks

There is a letter to the editor in our local paper today from a young woman who is protesting the University's refusal to recognize a Students for Concealed Carry group on campus. Her letter is excellent, and her points are valid. As usual, the mass hysteria from the liberals is reflected in the comments section online.

I followed the comments for a while, then posted my own comment. At present, my challenge has remained unheeded.

The newspaper does not keep their links alive for a long period of time, so I've copied her letter below and my thus-far two comments.

The lead statement in Robbie Evans' news story Tuesday, "Faculty and student organizations at the University of Louisiana at Monroe do not want concealed weapons on campus," mistakenly gives readers the impression that everybody on campus is against House Bill 27.


However, the comments section of the online version of the story paints a very different picture. Unfortunately, students on campus are not being allowed to hear alternate opinions on this issue from existing ULM students who disagree with these resolutions.

Why not? Because the university administration will not allow a student group to form that is in support of HB 27.

My name is Cassey Bennett and I am the president of the ULM Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, or SCCC.

Excuse me, I said "ULM" mistakenly. Our application to become a recognized student organization, having been approved by the assistant dean of student life and leadership, has yet to be approved by the vice president for Student Life and Leadership, despite meeting all of the requirements set out in the ULM Student Policy Manual (www.ulm.edu/studentpolicy).

That the administration disagrees with our group's mission seems to be the only reason for the denial of recognized status and there is no appeal from this decision. This is a violation of my and other students' First Amendment rights, regardless of what anybody believes about the Second Amendment.

As a result, our group is not allowed to post any fliers on campus, hold any meetings on campus or spread our group's message or even recruit new members from ULM.

What is our mission? We want to call people's attention to HB 27 and engage in scholarly debate with other members of the university community, educate our fellow students about their rights, and make our elected officials in Baton Rouge aware of our interests. Why the ULM administration would deny us this opportunity, while allowing all other 142 recognized student groups who meet the policy requirements to do whatever their missions are, is beyond me.

LSU and McNeese State University allowed a group to form on their campuses, along with lots of other colleges, many of which also do not allow concealed weapons on campus.

At least these schools recognize the First Amendment rights of their students.

Why won't ULM?

Clearly, they have their opinions and we have ours. It is currently illegal to carry a weapon on this campus, concealed or in plain view. We know this and nobody in our group has any plans to violate this law.

But to not even be allowed to become a recognized student organization and attempt to change the law solely because the administration disagrees with us? Are they implying that they agree with the mission of every other student organization?

Surely on a college campus, people who disagree should feel free to express their opinions through reasoned debate. In fact, we would love the opportunity to debate the administration, faculty, and other students about H.B. 27 and our reasons why we believe it would be a good law. After all, it is impossible to get a good education when students are only being presented one half of the story.


Cassey Bennett, a senior toxicology major, leads the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at ULM.


Ms Green's first comment, at around 8:00 am this morning:

I invite someone to give instances where unlicensed criminals have used a weapon to harm or kill innocents on school campuses, in churches, and in the general public. You won't be able to list them all here in the 2000 characters maximum posting.

I now invite someone to give instances where law-abiding citizens with a legal permit to carry a concealed weapon have used that weapon to harm or kill innocents on school campuses, in churches, and in the general public. I'll wait...

Still waiting...


Ms. Green's follow up comment, a little before 1:00 pm today:

Almost 5 hours later...

Still waiting...



I have a feeling it's going to be a long wait.

The News Media is Lying about Pastor Fred Winters

The media is lying to us. Fox news, My AT&T, and the rest of them - they're all lying.

They are all saying that a Pastor Fred Winters, of First Baptist Church of Maryville Illinois, was shot in front of his congregation during the first morning service and he later died of those gunshot wounds.

This story did not happen. It can't happen. It won't happen.

Don't believe the media! Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws in the US:

In Illinois, it is against the law to carry a concealed weapon.

In Illinois,a buyer is required to show his mandatory Firearms Owner’s Identification Card (FOID) when purchasing any firearms or ammunition.

In Illinois,it is unlawful for any person to possess any firearm with intent to use it unlawfully against another.

In Illinois, it is against the law to possess a firearm if within the past five years you have been a patient in a mental hospital.

In Illinois, It is unlawful to carry or possess any firearm in any vehicle or concealed on or about the person, except on one's land or one's fixed place of business.

In Illinois, It is unlawful to carry or possess any firearm on any public street or other public lands within the corporate limits of a city, village, or incorporated town


Gun laws KEEP THIS KIND OF THING FROM HAPPENING!

This story did not happen. This man is still alive and no one was injured, because ILLINOIS has TOUGH GUN LAWS.

The Second Amendment

I've seen this video before, but it's been years. Everyone who thinks gun control is a good idea needs to watch this. My thanks to Ex-preacher man for sending this to me - I'd forgotten about it.



The most important thing she said (and I'm paraphrasing) was that the Second Amendment is not about duck hunting or recreational shooting. It's about protecting ourselves not only from criminals, but from a tyrannical government.

One Reason Terrorists chose Mubai India

Want to know one reason why terrorists chose Mumbai?

Here’s one reason: India’s extremist gun laws.

In order to own a gun you have prove a direct threat on your life. You then have to surrender it as soon as the threat is gone. You have to go to the police station once a month and offer your gun for inspection to the police. You have to show the bullets you have, and in case if you have fired any of them you have to show the casings and tell the police where you used them.
This is not just civilians. Even police officers who use their weapons have to collect their casings and include them in their report of where and why they fired their weapons.

In other words, India is an example of a society which has completely disarmed itself. Now its people are like sheep for the slaughter. The terrorists proved that.

And our President-elect wants more gun control.
