gc-1.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710xLiving in a world full idiots is one thing. Living in a world run by abject idiots is something else altogether.

By now, we all know how liberals feel about guns. They detest them. They don’t want you to have them, and if you do have them, liberals don’t want you to be able to keep them, and they demand that you get them registered so that they will know where  you and your guns live, thus making it easier for liberals to come and get them.

There’s a second reason for why liberals want you to register your guns. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they intend to create a gun owner website…like the sex offender websites…where good lilt liberals can visit to see where not to buy a house, and where bad little liberals can map out which houses to rob.

A couple of weeks ago, some liberal jackass walked into the municipal building in Virginia Beach, Virginia and opened fire killing 12 people.

There was something special about that building too…

You Can't Legislate Away Morons

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

stap-1.jpg?width=152It was the 4th of July and after drinking,, 22 year old Devon Staples of Calais Maine thought it would be…funny…if he placed a fireworks “mortar” tube on top of his head…dropped a round into it and lit the fuse.

According to his older brother, Cody, who said that friends apparently tried to dissuade him…“Devon was not the kind of person who would do something stupid. He was the kind of person who would pretend to do something stupid to make people laugh.”

It was the last thing Devon Staples ever did.

When the round ignited…it killed him instantly. Again, according to Cody Staples, who was just a few feet away…“There was no rushing him to the hospital. There was no Devon left when I got there.”

We are not talking about some kid here. This was not some adolescent playing with fireworks sans adult supervision. This was a full grown idiot who should have known better but let’s get back to his brother, Cody, for a moment.

Cody Staples, 25 years old, is on record describing the event this way…

Friday Fume

By Craig Andresen on August 29, 2014 at 4:36 am

fume-12-236x300.jpg?width=236Ahhhh…Another Friday.

We’ve reached the end of the week and the beginning of a 3 day weekend. I know you’re probably heading somewhere, to forget reality for a few days and, YOU, my Patriot friends deserve it.

LIBERALS on the other hand, are on a lifetime break from reality so THEY probably won’t even notive the long weekend.

Let’s ge5t it all started with a rather SNARKY look at the week that was. My friends and soon to be traveling Patriots…It’s Friday and…

I’m fuming.

Okay…for all you liberals out there that think socialism is the GREATEST thing since the invention of BEAN SPROUTS AND BIRKENSTOCKS…allow me to explain to you the law of diminishing returns.

A few years ago…citing bogus claims of “GLOBAL WARMING…the Republik of Kalifornia decided to make gas companies put in a whole bunch of additives…to make gas burn cleaner…and before too long…they had THE most expensive gas in the nation.

Well…people didn’t like that and, giving how Kalifornians LOVE to drive their cars…they started buying cars that get better MILEAGE.

Better mileage…less gas. Less gas…falling revenues from GAS TAXES.

DOH!!! What’s a socialist state to DO when BIG government is put on a diet???

They started RAISING the gas tax to make up for the shortfall.

What did the PEOPLE do in response? THEY started buying gas/electric HYBRIDS so as to use LESS gas.

Less gas…less revenue…

Shackling Minds

 
 
Shackling Minds
Sylvia Bokor
 
As of February 4, IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling received 21,547 comments.  The IRS will take comments until February 27, 2014.
 
Twenty-one thousand comments is a pitiful showing.  Evidently most Americans don't know what this ruling proposes.
 
The IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling forbids non-profits to hold voter registration drives, advertise, promote and engage in activities regarding any political incumbent or candidate.  It forbids political fund-raisers, prohibits any kind of political activity including rallies, political mailings, teas, Meet & Greets, forums and gatherings that deal with political issues. It forbids a non-profit to support or oppose, discuss or question those seeking political office.  It forbids the gathering of signatures on petitions with political content of any kind, including nominating petitions and any comment pro or con on House and Senate bills.
 
By extension, it would be applicable at every level of government and to support or opposition to any kind of legislation whatsoever. 
 
There is little to no difference between a 501c(3) and a 501c(4). Applied to one, you can bet the ruling will soon be applied to the other.
 
But make no mistake, no matter what your political point of view this ruling is not about non-profits.  It's about the freedom to state and communicate publicly your ideas and preferences -- i.e., your values.
 
This ruling constitutes a danger to far more of us than the membership of non-profits.  It is not a simple violation of the First Amendment.  It is a proposal to do away with the First Amendment entirely and in effect institutionalize censorship.
 
No issue is as threatening to freedom as censorship.  The muzzling of the electorate is the means of forbidding government participation.
 
You say, "But the ruling is aimed only at non-profits!"  Is it?
 
Currently, churches are prohibited from discussing politics from the pulpit. Businesses and banks refuse to allow any material on their premises that involves a political issue.  Many members of business and military organizations are frightened to speak out on political matters for fear of reprisal.  The IRS has already deliberately delayed applications for non-profit status to those organizations that politicians and bureaucrats look upon with a jaundiced eye.  Scores of charitable organizations will also be muzzled by this ruling.
 
Much of our information about political activities and events is word of mouth.  What happens when talking about politics is illegal?
 
The IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling is an unconscionable attack on our right to discuss, agree or disagree about political matters.
 
If you doubt the scope and fundamental danger of this IRS ruling, consider the following: A government that has the legal authority to forbid what citizens may or may not talk about, is a government that has the legal authority to shackle your mind, which means your ideas.   That kind of shackling is a thousand times more paralyzing than chains on your body.  It stops thought, ambition, happiness, love, caring. 
 
Every Americans should comment opposing the IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling. Access http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=IRS-2013-0038-0001  Then contact everyone one knows inside and outside the state and ask them to comment as well.

NO LEGISLATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

     Late last week thehill.com reported on the mass of pending regulations. This site already linked to it, but I'll include the link below for convenience. But for now, a quick question. Am I the only one who's sick of this crap?

     In the title of this post I refer to this regulatory process as legislation, and that is more or less what it has become. These regulations carry the same weight as laws. We can be fined or imprisoned for defying these regulations and yet we have no input on the regulations themselves or on the appointment of the people who write them. People who do not represent us can use the regulatory process to impose their will upon us with impunity. Yet any word of protest is followed by an admonishment such as "Don't you understand that this is for your own good." It seems to me that everything that our government does that's "for our own good" is no damn good.

     More and more these elected officials and appointed bureaucrats are violating our personal sovereignty. They have long since forgotten that We the People rule this country. Hamilton once expressed his fears about an "embryonic Caesar" and we have reelected him. And our Dictator-in-chief keeps appointing these regulators to impose his "fundamental transformation" regardless of what We the People think about it.

     I for one am fed up with regulations. If the government wants to pass laws let them do so in the proper manner. Although we still get shafted when they do that. I suggest that every conservative, every TEA party activist, every constitutionalist, and everyone else who is disillusioned with this administration adopt the rallying cry of "NO LEGISLATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION" before we are all regulated into oblivion.

I spoke too soon yesterday....

I have effectively been silenced - as has every other retired member from any service.
I received my May-August 2013 copy of the "Echos" magazine in the mail today... (the retiree's newsletter). Within it was what I find an ominous article on page 10 titled "Did you know? Retired Soldiers and the Uniform Code of Military Justice" (UCMJ)
It references AR 27-10, Chapter 5, section 1, 5-2(b) 3.

Any of you who are a Vet (not a retiree) or citizen without Military service I would encourage you to write your elected on this topic - as silencing all retiree's takes away quite a bit of firepower to the argument.... All Retiree's should write their elected as well - but do the homework yourself and see what the regulation holds..... FUBAR folks.

I'm Army, so I have no clue what other services regulations hold within them - but my assumption is, they reflect each other in UCMJ here just as they reflect each other in every other aspect. It's US Code.... federal law. Just as I have reminded Congress often enough, no one is above the law..... (even if they are not obeying it - I HAVE too, or I am no different than they)

It appears these points within AR 27-10 were inserted somewhere in 1978 or thereabouts... (possibly earlier but I can't find them)
I went back as far as I could and discovered a legal discussion (Military Law Review) written in 1979 discussing the new term "extraordinary circumstances" which appears to be the key phrase and legal "switch" that will be used in the current 2011 version of the reg.

If you are a Veteran - but not a Retiree, you are probably safe from inclusion under this... certainly no more than any other US Citizen who speaks out against this government... but as a Retiree, the bottom line is; they can call you back to AD at any age and at any time for the purposes of Court Marshaling you under "extraordinary circumstances".

No one can dispute we currently have "extraordinary circumstances" in our Nation and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they will bend (or ignore whatever aspects of) the Law to whatever degree they feel necessary to silence anyone who speaks out against this government.

I will continue to write my elected - nothing in UCMJ can prevent that and I will continue my research to see if posting those letters violates UCMJ in any way - but I am only going to be reading from now on, not posting what I find. I will keep my own counsel. Please forgive me, I'm still here but I've been silenced.

Knowing this now, I ask you pray for all Retiree's... as after this particular warning in Echoes.... This could prove to be a very ominous warning of dire results to come - to all retirees.....

Trust me, I WILL be contacting my elected on this subject - along with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.

Call me if you need to talk.

Serious questions remain about Rick Perry.

I am a Texan and would love to be able to say Rick Perry was a true Patriot, but I can't.  There are just too many questions that raise red flags.  Let me share some of them with you and briefly.  We must have answers to the following:

  • Rick Perry was a democrat until 1989.  He worked for Al Gore of all people!  Why would he do that in the first place and why did he change parties?  Can he criticize Gore and all that he stands for?  Could it be that he is just infiltrating the Republican Tea Party to divert America yet again? 
  • Why did Perry wait until the Iowa caucus to declare and why was it in South Carolina instead of his home state of Texas?  Could it be that he, like Comrade B.O. was trying to divert attention away from the influence of the Tea Party and the Republican Caucus in Iowa the day that the straw poll was to be announced?  Now we know that Bachmann, the Tea Party front runner, was the straw poll favorite.  It seems like Perry is either manipulating or a coward since he would not debate in Iowa.
  • Why did Perry attend and participate in the pagan Bilderberg Group meeting in 2007?  Obama also was invited and attended that secretive society of pagan globalists at one time.  What was Perry's paper, which reportedly was about the relationship of state to federal governments really about?
  • When Perry declared his candidacy in South Carolina, he did not say he wanted a smaller federal government.  He said he wanted more jobs.  That is not the role of a constitution republic.  Only private individuals create jobs when they need help because their business is either starting up or growing.  That rhetoric is no different than Obama's.  Obama mistakenly thinks a bigger federal government will create more jobs.  Does Perry also think that government creates jobs? 
  • Word has it that Perry has advocated free, or at least in-state, college tuition for illegal aliens.  Is that true?  That would suggest he does not believe in national sovereignty any more than Obama.
  • Why is Perry in favor of the super highway that would divide the nation and destroy our national sovereignty? 
  • Is Perry a true Tea Party Republican who will reduce the size of government, reduce taxes, and regulatory burdens or is he just another wolf in sheep's clothing?  Be suspicious!  Ask the hard questions!

How Has Big Government
Stuck It to Us Lately?
 
Are the following statements True or False? Be careful, some are “tricky.” All false statements are explained below.
 
#1 Barack Obama on the Today Show yesterday announced his suspicion that ATMs and airport shoeshine machines are a big part of the reason that his $787 Billion stimulus failed to prevent America’s unemployment (now at 9.1%) from exceeding his promised 8.0%.
 
#2 The LBJ “War on Poverty” was implemented in 1968 with 13% of Americans rated as “POOR people.” Social welfare payments increased to 500% of former levels (a 400% increase) so that by 1980 13% of Americans were still classified as poor .
 
#3 “Capitalism is leading humanity and the planet to extinction,” according to the prime minister of France.
 
#4 In Sweden where a cradle-to-grave nanny state supplies free health care; free education; welfare programs and unemployment programs covering 76% of their people at some time in their lives; not to mention big retirement packages . . . the enterprise minister and the government refused to bail out the Saab automobile company.
 
#5 Federal government employees are restricted in many ways even when they belong to unions. However, thanks to the U.S. Postal Service unions, the post office despite heading for bankruptcy is not being allowed to stop Saturday delivery a step that would immediately alleviate the problem because of their union’s clout in Washington, D.C. As a temporary band-aid, the post office is issuing a new series of 40 American Union Leaders stamps to raise needed money from philatelists (stamp collectors).
#6 541 clean air, water, and waste programs are found in 28 separate government agencies not including the monstrously redundant EPA.
#7 President Obama’s trademark legislation Obamacare actually created a few more federal agencies in just one law then Franklin Delano Roosevelt created in over a dozen years in office.
#8 In Texas, they have a part-time citizen legislature that works for about six months then goes back to real jobs for about 18 months. Our full-time federal law makers (Congress) have put some 62,000 new regulations on the books since GHW Bush left office in January, 1993. Any doubt why business is having such a nasty time creating new jobs?
#9 In 1956 President Eisenhower and Congress passed a 293- page bill authorizing a federal highway act which created our present interstate highway system. When the act was updated in 1991 it was only 28 pages long but the end result cost one third as much for 3% of the highway mileage.
#10 Ronald Reagan’s 1982 Grace Commission came up with 2,478 separate ways to “get the government off the backs of the American people designed to eliminate the deficits and national debt by 1990 in the face of $10.2 TRillion of inefficiency, stagnation, and smothering of the free market IF they were not acted upon. Virtually none of these was acted upon by the four progressive Democratic congresses and despite creating 21 million jobs, Reagan ran up huge deficits while in office.
#11 President Obama’s ‘Trickle-up Economic” ideas have been derided as “Trickle-up Poverty,” but compared to the utterly socialistic French, we are still led by a capitalism-inspired administration.
#12 It takes the average Estonian less than 12 minutes to fill out their income tax forms thanks to a national FLAT tax of 18%. Since the country escaped the clutches of the old USSR, they’ve been known as the “Baltic Tiger” for their incredible national productivity and “a sort of Silicon Valley on the Baltic Sea.” These things will happen when Soviet tanks stop patrolling your streets and communism is left in the dust. Mr. Obama is taken our country in the opposite direction and now wants to create a national police force answerable to him alone.
#13  One of the most succinct criticisms of Barack Obama is that “. . . he doesn’t understand that wealth must first be allowed to be created, before it can be shared.”
 
 
 
Answers: Only the even numbers are true. Here are the explanations for the odd numbered false statements:
 
#1 Actually shoe shine machines were not the guilty party according to Obama, but rather airport ticket kiosks. However, the real fallacy is Obama’s premise about “automation” in general: When bank ATMs rose by 150% over one ten year period, the number of bank tellers increased by 160%. Similarly, virtually all insurance companies and financial companies in the mid- and late-70’s added EDP (electronic data processing) a.k.a. computer departments on the promise of eliminating huge amounts of clerical staffing. When Rajjpuut worked for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas the company’s employment jumped from roughly 340 to 790 in four and a half years with 85% of the newly hired fitting into either the EDP or the clerical job description.
#2 TRUE
#3 Actually, this was many years ago. At the time the statement was made -- a combined statement from presiding leaders of six countries that could then be considered the armpits of the world: Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua -- all of which of kept or flirted with communism or abject near-communist socialism. Six countries that needed capitalism to boost their anemic economies were blaming capitalism for all the ills of the world.
#4 TRUE
#5 Only false because of the Union Leader Stamps unless they decided to create them today.
#6 TRUE
#7   Sorry, not just a “few” more but roughly 9.6 times as many new government agencies were created by Obamacare (one law) as FDR created in all his years in office . . . 384 new federal agencies from Obamacare. That’s why it took 2,770 pages . . . it’s not about providing health care, it’s about controlling every aspect of health care, hospitals and doctors and nurses.
#8 TRUE
#9 The original 1956 bill was the shorter one, 28 pages long. The 1991 bill was 293 pages long. And the final cost was close to the same (in constant dollars taking account of inflation) for only 3% of the mileage. In fairness:  putting four-lane highways through places like Glenwood Canyon in Colorado does take a lot more effort than flat roads over the Great Plains. However, the strictly environmental considerations; as well as those related to mass transit; auto-pollution; seat belt use; motorcycle helmet use; preservation of historic sites; erosion control; billboard regs; women’s issues; Native American issues; disadvantaged individuals’ issues; use of recycled rubber in road bed asphalt; requirements for specific iron and steel; etc. etc. probably accounted for 66% of the total cost.
           #10 TRUE
           #11   President Obama in February 2009 weeks after taking office made his infamous “Trickle-up” speech. A month later French President Sarkozy said, “I was not elected to raise taxes (but) to reconcile France with the workplace and factory.” So even the French have turned their backs on redistribution of wealth as an answer to economic problems.
          #12 TRUE
          #13 Even thought the criticism would suit Barack Obama and 95% of progressive politicians to a “T,” it was actually aimed at the “archaic socialism” of France. Hope you enjoyed the quiz and understand a bit more about the connection between “small minds and big government.”
 
 
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Hey Soul Sister

 

“What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Lipstick!” And with that shot over the bow at the Republican National Convention, Sarah Palin announced her arrival on to the national political stage. From her position as a relatively unknown Governor of Alaska, Palin launched one of the most exciting Vice Presidential candidacies in U.S. history.

 

From the completion of that speech, even before McCain lost to Obama, there was the question about her aspirations regarding the Presidency. Will Sarah Run? And that question is still outstanding today. Although she hasn’t announced, she’s made several moves to improve her position if she does decide to run. She’s now a frequent commentator on Fox News, has written several books, has had a brief series on cable television on TLC, formed her own Political Action Committee, and most importantly threw her support behind many individuals in their respective state level candidacies. Yes, Sarah is collecting “chips”.    Continue...
