This is a page dedicated to not being politically correct. I make no apologies. I feel there is way too much of that today. If you are easily offended, do not read this "Blog". It is full of political and social observations and comments. I am in my own way, attempting to educate all who want to know how our government works and how we can regain control so we can remain a government that is "Of The People, By the People, and For the People.

WHAT WILL OBAMA DO WITH THE GITMO DETAINEES?

He has stated publicly that he plans to close Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. What is he going to do with the detainees? Bring them to the U.S.? If he does that, the ACLU will sue to make sure every one of these detainees has a trial in our normal legal system. By doing that, our Intelligence community will be irreparably damaged because our information gathering methods will become public. Will he turn them loose? Do I really need to explain how bad that would be? I think not... Is he going to make sure that there is no kind of pressure will be put on the detainees to in order to get needed info? Yes he is. How are we then going to get any meaningful intel from these hard core scum bags without pressuring them? These guys are hard core and only respond to more "direct" methods of questioning. We ARE at war. We have to do whatever we need to do to get the information that will save lives. Nobody likes the "T" word........However, does anybody else have another method, a better method of getting the critical info from uncooperative prisoners? Plain and simple, they have no rights under the Constitution and should not even be considered for such protection. These are people who conspire and kill innocent women, children and whomever else suits their needs. They want all of us here in America DEAD. That is there goal. We are the infidels and according to their belief, we must all die. Thats the truth of the matter.

HILLARY TO BE SECRETARY OF STATE????!!

Click on the title to go to the story. In my little mind, she is not only not qualified for the position, but she is the LAST person I would put in that position. In my opinion, she will sell us down the river with other countries because of her "vision" of what the U.S. should be. Remember that crap when Bill was President about the "Global Village"? Well, now she is going to be in prime position to work on that agenda, plus line herself up for the 2012 election.. Before we know it, will will be a clone of the EU (European Union)....If she has her way.....Lets pray that the "vetting" process finds something that disqualifies her. Who knows, they could find something "Bubba" did that does the trick. That would be poetic justice in my book.

CHINESE PHYSICIST ADMITS TO SENDING U.S. SPACE KNOW-HOW TO BEIJING

Click on the title to go to the story. This is not the first time this has happened. These foreign born so called scientists are given cart-blanch to do whatever they want to do and go wherever they think they need to go. It's commonly known that places like Los-Alamos Labs as other highly respected laboratories have a horrendous security record. There is so much stuff, it is almost impossible to keep track of it all. I feel sorry for the Security Managers who are really trying to to their jobs. It has to be hell. Budget cuts don't help either. It takes money to keep tabs on these foreign nationals. The intel community has been gutted because of excessive cuts. Now how bad have we been hurt by this latest loss of secrets? It's scary to contemplate.......

CONRESSMAN BRIAN BAIRDS RESPONCE TO MY LETTER REGARDING THE 2nd AMENDMENT

I am including here the e-mail I sent to my local Congressman Brian Baird, regarding my views on the 2nd Amendment. I have also included his response.

MY LETTER;
I am writing this letter to you so as to inform you as to my concern over the possibility of renewed attacks on the 2nd Amendment. As reaffirmed by the Supreme Court, this right does pertain the the rights of the individual gun owner. As a member of the NRA, we as an organization, watch the voting records of all our elected officials and make sure that the voting records are disseminated as widely as possible. As we go into this new era, we are watching more closely than ever. I urge you in the most strongest terms to resist and NOT vote in favor of any gun legislation that will infringe on any law abiding citizens right to own, possess or carry weapons to include concealed carry.

HIS RESPONSE;
Thank you for contacting me.
I take my responsibility to represent the people who live in Southwest Washington very seriously, which is why I deeply appreciate you taking the time to write to me. Hearing your comments and concerns on the important issues facing our country is important to me as I work to represent you in Congress. I believe that our nation's government is only as strong as the individuals who choose to actively participate in its improvement and am grateful when constituents take the time to contact me.

Please be assured that I do take note of your views and will keep them in mind as I continue to represent Southwest Washington.

Please visit my website at http://www.house.gov/baird where you can find information on my work in Congress and my positions on a variety of policy issues, as well as sign up to receive periodic email updates from me.

Sincerely,

Brian Baird
Member of Congress

MY REBUTTAL TO HIS REPLY;
I think it is entirely possible that this reply from his office is a "canned" response and is sent to every bit of correspondence he gets. However, that being said, I do not like what I feel is the condescending tone it has. In all my attempts to contact this guy, this is all I can get from his office. He has never sent a reply that I felt was the slightest bit personal or had a genuine feeling of concern or regard for my point of view. How he got re-elected is beyond me.......
