Supreme Court Rules on 2nd Amendment

(You may now CLING without fear)

Todays MOMENTOUS ruling in the SCOTUS marks not only an unprecedented milestone in this Nation’s history regarding an individual’s right to bear arms, but also highlights in the strongest manner why the Presidency matters.

The slim 5-4 ruling (conservatives plus swing Justice Kennedy) showed the importance of SCOTUS nominations by the President. Without either Roberts or Alito, you could have seen today a first step down another Roe vs. Wade type of path. Instead, freedom loving flag waving American’s won.

In light of this ruling, the NRA is immediately considering filing numerous contests in many cities across the nation. San Francisco and Chicago will be first. Chicago. Obama’s homies.

It is also important to note that Obama’s name was ABSENT in a friend of the court’s brief (amicus) that was sent to the SCOTUS supporting the lower courts overturning of the 32 year old law (of the District of Columbia). On that amicus brief’s list of supporting Senator’s? Republican nominee Senator John McCain.

Said Obama after hearing of the ruling, “Damn! I woulda never thunk it possible that those rednecks wooda had da RIGHT ta CLING ta those firearms! Heck! Now I is gonna haf ta just focus on attacking their religion!”

He’s working on it, folks… more on that soon..

In the meantime, consider opening a handgun shop in San Fran or Chi-town.

I am off to hug my 9mm…

Exporting American Security on Behalf of Nature

We have a problem in this country. And, like so many other things that we humans do, this problem is not going to get attention until it hurts us so bad that we take action way later than we should have.

Want a traffic light at a busy intersection where a lot of accidents happen because there is no traffic light? Well, believe it or not, at City Council meetings what you will hear them say that the light is slated to be installed in 2009, unless there is a rash increase of deaths at the intersection before then.

Like the rest of life, we plan our fixes in government and socially the same way a smoker quits… “Tomorrow” .

Our addiction to oil in this country is going to be the downfall of us. Our economy is in the hands of ragheaded sheiks with backwards ideals on the other side of the world. Our national security is tied to this same exact oil. We are like crack addicted freaks running to the dealer in the bad part of town, the Middle East.

Why do we do this? Why have we handicapped ourselves so?

One reason is Middle East oil was easier to get at than a lot of our oil, therefore cheaper. But the real reason is, we are hamstrung in this country by greenies who chain themselves to trees to save owls. The same militants who put their boats in between whales and whaling harpoons.

They call themselves activists, I call them militants. And they are as dangerous to the future of this country as the terrorists in the Middle East, because they undermine our ability to provide our own energy solutions because they think that saving some fish is more important than saving the free world. They claim some species is a treasured resource while ignoring the fact that freedom is more precious and important a commodity to peace and the well-being of this planet than a bird. They are more worried about an oil spill than they are about thousands of deaths of Americans, either from terror attacks or from direct conflict in our efforts to keep the Middle East in the “right” hands.

As I wrote in “That Blood on your hands is GREEN”, these conservation militants are partly responsible for the deaths of American soldiers in the future in ANY war that is partially or mostly motivated by oil concerns in the Middle East. Their incessant insistence that we put wildlife above national security is now coming back to haunt us.

This country has more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. The number I heard was somewhere in the neighborhood of 95 BILLION barrels in the form of crude and shale oil. The stark raving lunatics of the left chant “we won’t drill in the Grand Canyon or the Everglades” but what they don’t talk about is any rational approach to the mining and drilling of other areas in Colorado or on the gulf and Ocean coastal waters. Their ignorance of improvements in the safety of those technologies is driven mostly by lust for a policy of NOTHING as opposed to putting their Country first.

The holistic approach to the world these radicals espouse prevents any compartmentalized discussion about the finer details as to how to go about reaching all of our goals collectively and with compromise, instead of simply their all or nothing world of NOTHING.

Their rants of “we can’t drill out way out of this problem” and “were ANWR online right now the price of gas wouldn’t go down more than a few cents” is like a smoker not stopping smoking because the risk of cancer for him won’t go away the day after he quits. Moving ahead NOW with increased drilling, and the raising of the federal ban on offshore drilling, would be a part of a broad policy change in this country to get agressive in seeking solutions that can help us get off the Middle East tit that we seem to be content suckling until we die.

In the coming election, we should expect the two proposed leaders to go head to head on such issues. This country should be very ready to change course. I for one expect strong and agressive changes.

Thus far, I am not impressed with Obama’s approach, and only mildly more impressed with McCain’s.

Maybe our screaming will help them “get it”.

The Emperor Tries to Wear ‘Real Man’ Clothes

Well, it was only a matter of time that we would have to see this liberal wuss try to “defend” his “honor”.

Going up against a war hero, combat veteran, soon to be 72 year old Patriot, Barack Obama is trying now to set the stage for his “I really AM a strong man, a REAL man” campaign.

Not more than a week ago, I recall Obama talking in response to an apparent President Bush slam on Obama for being

She Needs a Fork! Or Does She?

I say Hillary is done. So do most others paying attention, at this point

Hillary failed to show strong enough in Indiana, and Obama cleaned her clock in North Carolina. This puts her campaign now officially into “sputtering but indignantly fighting to still seat Florida and Michigan” mode.

The DNC is left now with the task of cleaning up their pathetic mess created by Howard Dean concerning their fumbling attempt to punish those two States. Were it not for Dean and Florida/Michigan, I am not sure Obama would have survived to this point. More on that below, and how the scars from Wright would have made a difference earlier.

The aftermath will be interesting to watch, because they have to unite a party now. How do they create a situation where Hillary can get out honorably? Can the loser lose graciously at this point?

I think not, and- wait a minute…

John McCain is now taking public funds for the election- to the tune of about $84 million.

Yes, I know, I know… it is ironic that Mr. Campaign finance reform can’t make money, while Democrats can. In a year where we have an unpopular war (that ‘popularity’ depends on “success”, and few of us can determine how to adequately define that), rising gas prices, and a recession in the making, it is no surprise that a Republican would have a hard time raising cash.

It has been intimated that Obama claimed HE would take public funding if the Republican candidate agreed to. But we know how things like that go. What is said today by a Democrat is quickly changed by tomorrow. One might even claim that the Democrat party is the “Woman’s Prerogative” party… always reserving the right to change one’s mind; or story; or plea.

When one considers the political faux pas’ of the two jokers on the left; when one considers the inexperience of Obama, and the fake experience of Hillary; when one considers the lies concerning their history; when one considers close ties to racists— it is absolutely perplexing the amount of money Obama, and yes, even Hillary have been able to raise.

One might claim that they have raised record levels of cash due to record levels of interest and sharp political tactics. I would say that the only thing they have raised is the interest of a party of fools…

…and we know what they say about fools and money.

While the groundswell of money from the left is impressive, we must simply remember that even rich fools will falter. Money cannot save stupidity, buy a reputation, or create a history of experience.
