TERRORIST ATTACK IN INDIA

It looks like the cowardly terrorist are rearing their ugly heads again. Initial reports are not encouraging. It is a despicable, heinous, horrendous act and these cowards must be found and brought to justice as soon as possible. In my opinion, these cowards picked these targets because they appeared soft and vulnerable. There are many failures at many levels that lead to this happening. I want all who read this to take note,........NOT ONE TERRORIST ATTACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE 911. Why do you think that happened, or should I say didn't? It is because of all the measures that our government put into place after 911. And for the most part, George Bush is the one responsible for taking the affirmative and decisive action needed to protect this country. Plain and simple. If you don't believe it, your just ignorant, or blind to the reality of the matter, period. Anyone who was in the loop, (like I was) knows it for a fact...Done Deal.

THE PRESIDENT ELECT AND HIS "CRACKBERRY" ADDICTION

It looks like our new "President Elect" is hooked on his Blackberry and is trying to wrangle a way of being able to keep it and use it as normal. This guy has no clue as to what "security" is and what kind of security threat the use of such a devise by someone in such high office. The Presidents communications must remain secure at all times...period. In no way can a method of communication be allowed to lead to some sort of security breech, whether it would be the interception of normal conversation or, and most importantly, anything of a classified nature be allowed to be compromised in any manner. These things are not even allowed in the same room where classified briefings are being held. That is by security regulations and policy that are not meant to be violated at ANY time. In my opinion, this guy is a security risk.

THIS YEAR AS WE GATHER ON THANKGIVING...

Please click on the title to go to a great page dedicated to remembering all of our brave men and women who are serving in the military. As we gather on Thanksgiving, please take a moment and mention them in your prayers. It is because of them, and the freedom they provide, we are able to sit down with family and friends, break bread, and not worry about the unthinkable happening.

RUSSIAN PREDICTS THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES

This is what the rest of the world is thinking right now. Our adversaries (AKA THE ENEMY) is starting to lick their chops because they see the USA falling apart and are going to revel in the ensuing chaos. As far as blame is concerned, I put full blame on the Congress. I was going to identify the responsible committee here, but when I did the research on it, the list of responsible committees was mind boggling. Copy this link and paste it in to go the the list and see for yourself. The Representatives in each of these committees was supposed to be representing us and doing everything in OUR best interest, NOT THEIRS!! They got greedy to the point where they took their eye off the ball and now here we are. As a nation, about to go bankrupt......A hell of situation that only a miracle and some truly honest, smart people with incredible insight, skill and knowledge. Unfortunately, I don't think we have anyone up to the task. God help us all.........

AUTO WORKERS WILL GET PAID OVER $30hr TO SIT ON THEIR ASSES???

Now this is just getting completely stupid and out of hand. This is thanks to a 1984 agreement between the auto workers union and the big 3. Now don't get me wrong, I think there is a place for unions. My wifes work had to bring one in just to get protection from the draconian practices of the district manager, but this autoworkers deal is too much for the American public to stomach. In my opinion, the UAW is the reason why the big 3 are not competitive. Too high wages and benefits for the workers. All I can find puts the wages at w/benefits at around $70hr. If that is true, HOLY SHIT............I am speechless. What a gravy train!!!

"OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT"????!!!!!!

Would somebody please tell me where I can find the provision in the Constitution for the "Office of the President Elect"? Oh, there is none? NO KIDDING........WHAT IN GODS GREEN EARTH IS HE TRYING TO DO OR PROVE? That sign is ridiculous and is a slap in the face of the man who currently occupies the Oval Office. These people are arrogant to the highest degree. Like I said earlier, we are going to see things that we never thought would be coming out of the Oval Office. Hang on,......It's going to be a rough ride. Click on the title for the story.

TERRORIST FUNDING - THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG

Click on the title to go to the story. In my opinion, this is just the tip of the iceberg on the funding of terrorist organizations. These types of prosecutions should have been going on full tilt since 911. There has to be hundreds if not thousands of organizations or Mosques that are funneling money to these terrorists. This funding must be stopped.

GUN CONFISCATION AFTER KATRINA

Click on the title to go to the video of people telling their story's of gun confiscation that occurred after the hurricane. It appears that the police were confiscating ALL guns leaving law abiding people defenseless. This type of behavior by the local authorities cannot be allowed to stand. So are we to expect that in a time of emergency, we will have our guns confiscated,...at a time when we will need them the most???? This is wrong on many levels not to mention a complete and utter violation and disregard for the 2nd Amendment. Whomever called for this action needs to be fired from their position and civil rights violation lawsuits filed against them.

MORE ON THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICANS

Here is an article that articulates how Americans are allowing our rights to be eroded if not lost. It speaks volumes to the proposition that the public school system is failing our children by not teaching the importance of the Constitution. Click on the title to go to the story.

OBAMA SKIPS CHURCH - IS THIS THE PRECURSOR OF WHAT IS TO COME?

It looks like the President elect feels it's more important to get in that workout than seek Gods wisdom. I am not a huge bible thumper but, I want a reverent, God fearing man in the Oval Office. Click the title to go to the story.

THIS IS MY "RANT OF THE DAY"

You just gotta love freedom of Speech. It really makes it easy to spot the true idiots out in our midst. Every time I see one of these kinds of bumper stickers, all I can think of is..."there goes another idiot, stay clear of that dumb ass". The thing that really puts me on my ear is the fact that allot of the idiots displaying this type of sticker are WAY old enough to know better. Like, in their 60s, 70s and such. Usually, with these kinds of stickers you will find another sticker that bashes GW. Things like, "My dog is smarter than your President" and other such derogatory crap. In my INFORMED opinion, GW was one of the best Presidents I ever had as a Commander and Chief. The other being Ronald Reagan. I have e-mailed the White House and told them that too. All the "Droids" know is what the liberal biased media has told them. They refused to be confused by the truth. There isn't ONE of them that is able or willing to understand that the ONLY reason we have not been attacked again here on our own soil is because of what he did, put into place and enacted after 911. All in all, they make me sick and ashamed of what other countries must be thinking of us right now. We must be the laughing stock of the world right now because of how our political system appears to work........

KENYA AMBASSADOR CONFIRMS OBAMA BORN IN KENYA

Well, here is a very interesting piece of information I came across. This is from a Detroit radio station, WRIF and was done on the air by their morning guy by the name of Mark. They actually called the Kenyan Embassy and got this directly from the Ambassador. Click on the title to go to the radio station. Copy and paste this address to go to liveleak to listen to the interview.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4d7_1227317719

The interview is kind of long but it is well worth it. If this is true, what do we do now? His election would be in direct violation of the 14th Amendment. Copy and paste this address to see what the Constitution says.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen

The contention is, Obama is not naturalized. I have to admit, when I was researching this, it was tough to find. I was amazed to find that most hits were about questioning the eligibility of John McCain. He was born of parents in the military in Panama. Everyone in the military knows that all children born of US military personnel while stationed overseas are automatically US citizens but,.... may also be subject to the host country's laws regarding citizenship too. This depends on the Host/Tenant agreement the US has with each host nation.

THE SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY

The contribution to the war effort by the big 3 automakers was crucial to the war effort. The Ford Company focused on airplanes and the new 4 wheel drive design called "jeeps". The B-24 bomber was made by Ford at their Willow Run plant. General Motors built all types of tanks , amphibious vehicles, aircraft engines and airplane propellers. The Oldsmobile division of General Motors made artillery shells. The Chrysler Corp. also became well known as a tank builder. All total, the auto industry manufactured about $29 billion dollars worth of products, about 12.5 million shells and almost 6 million guns.
As screwed up as the automakers seem to be, we cannot allow them to fold. Simply put, we need their abilities and talents to keep us free and secure. We cannot become dependent on war materials that are foreign made. The vehicles, guns or planes or whatever else we need must be home grown Nor can we do without their flexibility/ability to quickly retool in order to make whatever other products we may need in a time of war. It's that simple.

THE REAL REASON FOR THE 2ND AMMENDMENT - STRAIGHT-UP


There is no better way to say it than this woman did. Her name is Suzanna Gratia-Hupp and her parents were murdered by a crazed gunman. She hits the nail right on the head. Nuff said......

DOD HIT BY UNPRECEDENTED CYBER ATTACK

Some people may not realize, but the DOD is for the most part, continually under attack via the web. It looks like a particularly bad attack is going on now. These attacks are being made by all sorts of adversaries. Nations and individuals. Click the title to go to the story.

HE TOLD US HE WAS THE CANDIDATE OF "CHANGE"

Well, so much for that. It has always been my contention that he was blowing smoke up everyone's butt by saying he was the man for "Change". In my opinion, he will toe the Dem line all the way. He is apparently filling his cabinet with insiders. What part of "Change" is that?? If people wanted true change, the McCain/Palin ticket was the one to do that. Both have documented "maverick" tendencies and have truly pissed off both sides of the isle. They would have bucked the system more than the Dems ever would consider.

SENATOR PATTY MURRAY'S REPLY TO MY E-MAIL REGARDING THE 2nd AMENDMENT

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.

SENATOR MURRAY'S REPLY;
Thank you for writing to me regarding limitations on gun ownership. It is good to hear from you.

Like you, I am concerned about the level of violence in this country, and its effect on our families and communities. While legislation to regulate the use of firearms is primarily a state issue, I believe that our national crime-fighting strategy should include reasonable measures to control firearms that strike a balance between reducing street crime and maintaining individuals' rights.

As a U.S. Senator, I have supported common-sense measures to reduce or restrict gun violence while posing the least possible inconvenience to law-abiding gun owners. Please know that if the Senate considers firearms legislation, I will keep your concerns regarding this important issue in mind. If you would like to know more about my work in the Senate, please feel free to sign up for my updates at http://murray.senate.gov/updates. Thank you again for writing, and please keep in touch.

I hope all is well in Vancouver.

MY REBUTTAL;
Not quite the answer I had hoped for. To me is sounds like ....." Well, I hear ya, but I'm going to do what I think is right, but thanks for the e-mail anyway".
