Current Events

I usually come home from work and get caught up on the news.  On the radio, all I hear is Net Neutrality, and various other smoke-and-mirror media blasts.  Obama takes advantage of all the turmoil going on and adds to the unrest by making threats to ban 5.56 rounds and AR15 style rifles by the stroke of the executive pen.  This is a blatant abandonment of the Constitution.

My solution to all this is to ignore the ban.  Keep making the rounds and keep selling the rifles.  The executive branch of this government is going rogue and is ignoring the Constitution. 

I cannot believe this POTUS is still in office.  Time for impeachment and ousting of all the Obama cabinet.
These are a couple of my favorite sections of our constitution.
Article the third [Amendment I]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Article the fourth [Amendment II][4]

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Our current POTUS is making noise of banning 5.556 rounds and possibly AR15 style rifles.  This seems like infringement to me.  He is also catering to hostile nations and specific people groups who cherish a specific religion over others.  This sounds almost like an abandonment of the 1st Amendment.

In short, I cannot believe this man is still in office.  What gives?

My Opinion on Current Events

What are the current events these days?  We have mid-term elections coming up.  We have some crazies running amuck in the Middle East.  We have the Russians testing the resolve of our current POTUS.  And we have border issue.  We can't forget the Ebola outbreak making its way to Texas and Spain.  And more recent we have the POTUS running amuck with pen in one hand and blank executive order paper in the other.  In short, I can't believe this man has not been impeached yet.  (I'll stop here and revist this in the future.)


# 3 What ever happend to Moral Fortitude?

"Moral Fortitude" is a term we have all forgotten.  This used to be the driving force that lead many of our forefathers to battle in the days of old.  Back then, people believed in God, believed in the freedoms granted by God to live and let live and to defend our way of life if need be.

"Moral Fortitude" is provided to the individual who has not only has a good self image of himself, but believes that God has looked upon him and has forgiven him of all transgressions through the Act of Jesus Christ on the Cross.  The individual now walks in Faith and Love toward God and believes God loves him.

"Moral Fortitude" is the trust an individual has that he is doing the right thing based upon his understanding of Biblical Morality.

All of our laws in this country originally were based upon Biblical Theology. It wasn't until the late 1800's that Case Law was introduced into our Ivy League Law Schools.  Before then a large book was relied heavy upon to form legal opinions.  (I'll stop here and revisit this one in the future.)

Military to Persecute Christian Soldiers

Just a little blurb before I head off to work this morning, namely, one of the first things that falls under SOD Hagel's name is persecutions of Christians in the military.  The military is now going to start attacking Christians if they share their faith openly.  There's a lot to this. 

For now, sign the petition:

Later, I will edit this with some thoughts.  Until then....

My whole family was looking forward to this Christmas 2012 because we were preparing to spend the week out of town at a family wedding.  Our plans were simple.  Have Christmas at home and the day after, instead of heading to all the post-Christmas sales, we would be travelling to spend the rest of the season with friends and family.  This wedding was going to be a cherished time of new beginnings.

Personally, I had to work extremely hard to compartmentalize everything that was going on in this country in order to enjoy myself and thus allow my family to also have a great time.  Husbands and dads can easily quench joy for everyone around them.  If the Connecticut shooting wasn't bad enough our POTUS and Congress all had to come up with sweeping gun legislation that would threaten the very foundations of our Constitution and our Nation. 

So, while the nation grieved over the loss of 27 lives this past Christmas, our leaders heaped upon the nation the fear of losing foundational freedoms.  Our leaders were attacking and planning to attack law abiding citizens without even addressing the heart of the matter.  And that being bad people do bad things.

I have to say that I was really grumpy at the family wedding.  Although I worked hard at staying happy, I knew that the Progressive Movement in this nation was plotting and conceiving of new ways to throw out our Constitution, strip away any way of self defence, while allowing evil people to run amuck destroying what ever they wished and whom ever got in there way.

I asked myself many times, "Would gun control stop the criminals in Chicago, L.A., SanFransisco, Seattle, N.Y., KC, St. Louis, New Orleans, and other big cities?"

I lived in Chicago during the '90's.  I knew that Cook county banned guns and yet the park, located just a few blocks from our house, had regular gang battles.  Gun shots could be heard as usual night-life-city-noises.  All I had to protect my self and my little family was a baseball bat and a phone while the bad guys, just down the street, had all the fire-power they needed to do me and my family great harm.  So I laid low and didn't bring attention to myself...with the exception of voting day...and the time I had a gang-banger arrested for pulling a knife at my work-place...and having a pan-handler kicked out of the Chicago Avenue Pizza Hut...and driving a few co-workers home to the black neighborhood so they would have to wait for the bus late at night...and that time when I was the only white republican voting in our precinct at 500 p.m on that day when Clinton was elected President...

That brings me to another thought.  Although I went about my own business in Chicago, my world eventually clashed with the underworld.  I wanted to move West, like many of my ancestors did.  I wanted to move West to get away from the evil of the Big Cities.  I wanted to live in an area that respected the individuals rights to free exercise of religion, to keep and bear arms, and among other things, the right of free speech.

Several years later, I realize that in order to maintain our rights recognized in the Constitution, we have to go about our business and speak up.  If we cower down, the Progressives will win the day and our Great American Freedoms won't even be a memory for already, as I right this, a lot of our History is being rewritten.  But that is for another day.

Gossip and Hearsay?

So, Day 2 of the Sequester.  Biggest thing I've heard is the Powers-that-Be released around 2,000 illegal aliens that were being detained on the deportation list.  What were they being detained for?  They were caught in criminal activity. 

The news is reporting this as "hundreds".  It is actually around 2,000.  I think 2,000 is a bit more, conceptually, than 100's.  But who am I to voice concern?  Just a regular guy who goes to work every day wondering if my family will be safe while I am away from them, that's who.

I have also heard that these 2,000 criminal, illegal, aliens, were being held in Arizona.  Kind of a coincidental release if you ask me.  The state sets in motion laws, but since the Feds are the only ones with the power of deportation, 2000 get set free due to budget cuts.  Darkly ironic.

Oh, another thing I hear in the midst of everything else is ammo.  The various departments of government are stockpiling weapons, ammo, and targets.  I have heard that all this is for training.  I have also heard that this training is for homeland combat.  I have also heard the the bad guys they are training against are American Citizens.

My question still remains, why does American Industry continue to do business with government agencies knowing what we know about the ambitions to disarm American Citizens by lethal force if necessary? 

Talking about gossip and hearsay though.  Hey, it's what we all hear on the news every day.  Stuff like the POTUS is gunning for our guns and is planning on using the UN for back-up because, as we all know, the UN is already here in force.  Other stuff, like the sequester, is a big smoke screen. 

The sequester is only 82 billion or so dollars.  Compare that with 16 Trillion national debt.  Compare that with 5 Trillion.  It is just pocket change and just a fear tactic.  It's like me saying I am going to have to cut 5 cents from our grocery budget because the kids have failed to keep their grades up.  Just pocket change people.
