Disarm Sane U.S.A. Citizens is Obama's Ultimate Objective

All this hub-bub, meetings, overtime costs and added stress about student killings to distract the voter from the REAL problems facing this country.

I regret the death of all people; the young especially. Do we forget that "planned killings" of all types are products of a greatly flawed educational system? No, you pretty good,  good and great teachers are not to blame. School failures are the result of laws that prevent discipline in the public school system. It is the result of weak, unpaid board members, belligerent unions, and lack of parenting; many of these 'parents' are public school 'graduates' or public school drop-outs.

OK, that is part of the the problems of killing in this country. Most gun deaths are caused by criminals and the mentally dis-illusioned and mentally disabled. And gun killings are just a small percentage of violent deaths. Killings by other methods, too numerous to list here, but including the death of approximately 16,000 youths 19 years of age or younger,  by vehicular accidents. School killings? About .00001 of all the unfortunate deaths of young people.

Get real, folks. Drugs kill more kids in one day that die in a full school attendance day. Of course, most the blue-noses, aren't aware of this because "cause of death" is seldom listed in the obituary.

Back to schools. Concealed carry by those who wish to carry and who pass rigorous sanity tests tailored for school authorities, including teachers, is such an obvious answer. Policeman patrolling public schools corridors, classrooms and grounds, is insanity.

Back to guns. No administration will disarm the PRESENT population. (Some of you say Obama doesn't want to prohibit citizens from owning guns. Do you believe him? He has lied his way through one term and into a second term and what I predict will be an attempt for a third term). 12 years from now, I can't forecast. No administration will halt drug use. No administration will halt prostitution, No administration will prevent alcoholism. No administration will stop corrupt politicians, corrupt business practices, corrupt attorneys, corrupt doctors, pharmacists and, yes, teachers and school administrators. Or head librarians. This last one may be questioned by those who don't closely follow the conservative media and bloggers. (Think Indianapolis)

No administration will end rape and abduction. And crimes of passion, adultery or child abuse or hundreds of other illegal crimes or actions. When kids and teachers cheat in school (see my blogs on cheating in the classrooms) what might one expect when they reach adulthood.

Summation:  90% of this sorrow and hand-ringing is a smokescreen while 11,000,000 illegal citizens will one day have all the rights and MORE than I have today. Out of those eleven million, 6 million will become voters by 2016 and another 90% will vote a straight Democrat ticket. Obama is, among all the other labels I've labeled him, a very 'cagey' Socialist.  Don't turn in your guns. The criminals will not and neither will all those security people surrounding Obama and his family and all ranked political leaders, day and night, and all those trips across the country and the world, all at increasing taxpayer expense while just our national debt is moving from 17 trillion ever upward.

What a bunch or 545 politicans and Obama?????

So sad.

USA Heading For a Dictatorship By 2017??

All dictators ban guns. How will Obama still be elected in 2016? Surely some of my readers have not forgotten FDR. He was able to change the law. By 2016, Obama may be so powerful that so many people including 6,000,000 illegals now voters and including many big corporations, will be so beholden to Obama that he himself, can change the law. He may be so powerful that even a referendum would pass.

Silly guy, me. Probably not or probably so. The sales tax referendum passed to build a downtown museum projected to draw 240,000 PAYING visitors per year with an IMAX.  I suspect that many people who supported the sales tax didn't read or see TV that stated the financially brilliant museum key supporters have recently changed the "projection" to 180,000 visitors, many of them non-paying (a friend of mine recently received a free years pass for a family of 9, how many others are receiving free passes to make the 180,000 visitors valid will never be known by the sales tax payers).

I'll wager 1/3 of the "yes" voters have yet to set foot in the museum, unless it was free to them, and half the people who voted yes on the museum, will NEVER PAY to visit.

Yes, there is a big screen with a name virtually unknown, but no IMAX with few in attendance I hear from those visitors who said they would not go again.

My projected loss per YEAR to fill the "big hole"?  $1,900,000.00. Growing slowly greater after the first year.

Almost anything is possible if you have enough brainwashed people.

Legitimate gun holders. Hold your guns and continue to stock up on ammunition as you have been doing. These may be peaceful looking days.

They are not as we do not know what is going on behind the scenes.

Our Nation's Growing Deficit

George Bush, no ideal president, worst deficit was $460 billion in 2008. Obama has doubled or tripled that amount each year he has been in office. I blogged years ago, "Folks, you haven't seen anything yet". I stand by my statement.

Hiroshima and Detroit Comparisons After 67 Years

Part of an email forwarded to me by a friend. "What happened to the radiation that was to last 'thousands of years'" View the pictorial record of these two cities.


What a shame.


Merle

Is there more than a little truth to this?

67 years later!

What happened to the radiation that lasts thousands of years?

Hiroshima 1945




We all know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed in August 1945 after the explosion of atomic bombs.

However, we know little about the progress made by the people of that land  during the past 67 years.

Hiroshima 67 years after the nuclear bomb attack:







Detroit 67 years after the Hiroshima nuclear bomb attack:







What has caused more long term destruction - the A-bomb, or Government welfare programs created to  buy the votes of those who want  someone to take care of them?

Japan does not have a welfare system.

Work for it or do without.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Best True Statement Not By a Politician

Passed around on the internet. Merle

"We Americans got so tired of being seen as dumbasses by the rest of he world that we went to the polls this November and proved it".

Michigan and Pennsylvania to Legislate Right-to-Work Laws?

Hopefully, the politicians will see the light. These would be small steps to right this nearly capsized nation. Some of you look around and say"this ain't too bad and we'uns is pretty happy plus Obama is our man" as you cash in your food stamps and welfare checks (as of this writing 11 states have more people on welfare than they have working).


Look at Venezuela. There are many happy people there. Sure, there were many happy people under Hitler and Stalin and there are many happy people in places like North Korea, the Sudan and Iraq. But many people feel "happy" shooting up schools and shooting gang members and innocent people in Chicago, Columbine, Ft. Hood, Texas, Newton, etc.

Happiness, as written by hundreds of psychiatrists and others, is a state of mind reached many ways, like breaking out windows, shooting someone, raping  and stealing as well as living a positive life.

Beyonce Faked National Anthem??

Why not? Everything else about this administration is phony.Why is this  phony going on 5 year administration? Just type in Obama on my search bar and you will find the reasons.

Comparable Retirements Figures

Comparable my ass. In the case Ray Lahood, He gets at least two pensions and some of these competent or incompetent get as many as three or more pensions.


Sorry I couldn't print the picture as yet.


Merle

Wonder if this is part of solving the financial "cliff" problem?

Below the picture are some surprising facts...



Salary of retired U.S. Presidents .............$180,000 FOR LIFE

Salary of House/Senate .......................$174,000 FOR LIFE

Salary of Speaker of the House .............$223,500 FOR LIFE

Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ....... $193,400 FOR LIFE

Average Salary of a Teacher ............... $40,065 

Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN ....... $38,000

I think we found where some of the cuts should be made!If you agree, pass it on. I just did.




Obama - Another Success Story

Chicago: 446 school age children shot in 2012, with strongest gun laws in country – media silent


By Clash Daily / 19 December 2012


The cesspool known as Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the country, yet despite all the shootings, murders, and bloodshed, you never hear a peep about this from the corrupt state run media.

In Chicago, there have been 446 school age children shot in leftist utopia run by Rahm Emanuel and that produced Obama, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, etc. 62 school aged children have actually been killed by crazed nuts in Chicago so far this year.


So why isn’t this news worthy? Is it because it would embarrass those anti second amendment nuts who brag about Chicago’s tough gun laws? Is it because most of the kids who were shot and killed were minorities? Or is it because the corrupt media doesn’t want to show Chicago in a bad light?

So why isn’t this news worthy?
The leadership in Illinois is all Democrats, and the Democratic controlled media will not report it.


President: Barack Hussein Obama
Senator: Dick Durbin
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Governor: Pat Quinn
House leader: Mike Madigan
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% - highest in country.

A culture of corruption that would make a Louisiana politician blush with envy.

Can't blame Republicans; there aren't very many.

Powell, LaHood, Hagel Most Noteworthy Obama-Republicans

History will prove that Colin Powell will not rank among the most brilliant Generals.

Was there any war that we ACTUALLY won while he was in power? 

Please don't say "Iraq". He is leading us into becoming a nation of wimps, not that he needs any help. His recent criticism of Former successful Alaskan Governor, ranks high among distortion by politicians and political "wannabees". He said her use of 'shuck and jive' was intolerant when he deliberately misquoted her. What she actually said was quoted as saying was 'shuck and jive shtick'. Powell succeeded in making her sound racist.

Was Obama racist when he called himself lazy? Most people would agreed if they didn't want to be so politically correct.

Ray LaHood, Obama's Secretary of Transportation, will go down in local and national history as being no Everett Dirksen.

Most people never knew -- or they forgot -- that Ray LaHood strongly promoted a "four lane highway from Peoria to Chicago" that even the federal government didn't stamp as a priority. He then supported a  highway from Peoria to RT. 80 replacing RT. 29.

So did I in a letter to the editors when IDOT announced it would cost only $300 million. A year later,"IDOT 'projected' costs jumped to $600 million and I quickly dropped my support. I did support a couple of  'pull-overs' so that slow traffic could pull-over and let faster moving traffic past. IDOT, in their often IDIOCY said they never considered that option.

Neither did Ray LaHood who never publicly withdrew his support for RT.29.

LaHood was also a big supporter of a ring road from Morton to Caterpillar at Mossville which would include another bridge across the Illinois when the State can't find enough money to repair the bridges they have already built.

Dozens of millions are as of this day being spent to "study" routes for this ring-road that is supported by 'mover and shaker' types, Republicans and Democrats alike. This ring-road WILL NEVER be built as it will some day be quietly dropped while Caterpillar and Dave Leitch fuss and fume and the Mayor of Morton lets off steam.

Chuck Hagel, well he may have served his country and was shot at; how rare, my cousin was shot at and killed, will have his days of questioning by the sane Republicans we have left so I'll let you read about his record in the liberal news media. No Democrat will oppose him so they can say "we are being fair to the other side" by choosing a Republican.

Just goes to show how "fair" Democrats can be.

As to black Obama calling himself lazy? He may be lazy but he has listened and studied well what it takes to be Emperor and still be "lazy". Count on him to get the laws changed so that he can run again in 2016. As this country sometimes rather quietly slides further  into Socialism and perhaps Marxism.

Any bettors that I'm wrong, call me personally, and we will meet and determine the rules and who will hold the 'stakes'.

Democrats Try to Shame Politicians Who Do Not Believe the President Has Any Authority to Control Guns and Legal Gun Ownership in the 50 States

The liberal Coalition to Stop Gun Violence released a video ad Wednesday condemning Democratic Georgia Rep. John Barrow for not fully supporting President Barack Obama’s gun control policies.

The ad, which states, “Shame on You, John Barrow,” is an attempt to force the Democrat to change his position and “support the president’s gun policy proposals,” according to a Coalition press release.

The one-minute ad cuts back and forth between clips of a Barrow 2012 campaign commercial, in which he states “I’m proud to be endorsed by the NRA,” with news footage of shooting massacres

National Association of Police Superintendents Approve Obama's New Gun Regulations

I received an email from an old acquantace Democrat college professor in which he took issue with the email I forwarded about the success of concealed carry in a Texas Public School. My answer to him is as follows:
Of course, just another few millions to add to outrageous police pensions (have you read about the the police pensions piracy in Stockton, Ca.?

Probably not as the situation has been mostly detailed in the Wall Street Journal) and another 1/2 billion more for Obama to spend. Jim, you are an educationally smart guy.

Do you think gun shooting in schools is one of our biggest problems?

Start with the University of Texas tower shooting and the number of school deaths wouldn't add up to the number of innocents killed in vehicular traffic accidents in one quarter of one DAY in the USA.

And what about the Oklahoma bombing, the mad Major killings at Fort Hood, etc? or the Richard Speck knife murders of a dozen nurses in Illinois. Recently, we had a family  killed by baseball bats in a small town in Illinois.


We are becoming a nation that turns out wimpy kids reared by over-protective parents. If the NOPS came out for concealed carry, then they are on the right track. This I very much doubt that they did. Besides, like ObamaCare, who really knows how these new regulations will be interpreted and enforced?


I watch more news stations than Fox, one of the finest stations on the airways. Unfortunately, most others are far to liberal for my tastes. Rachel Maddow would have been popular in Germany in the 1930's.

I occasionally read the Tampa Bay News. Their columnists, with perhaps one exception, would have been very popular under the Third Reich.


Most of the predictions I made in Peoria about non-priority tax-supported projects in the past 10 years have been completed with not one projection met. I may have been a farmer and a coach but I continued educating myself even today at the age of 87.


Plus my Dad and Mom taught me common sense, a rare quality in certain circles today.

Gun Ban Nuts Come Out of the Mouldy Woodwork

The most noxious publicized comment came from a woman schoolteacher who said "my students come up and hug me. What would they think if I had a 'concealed' weapon on my body'? Yes, especially if she were a lesbian or transvestite. No one is asking that ALL teachers be armed. A sad example of what is wrong with our public school system and another reason why so many parents are going more and more to home schooling.

Hug your students? Setting your school up for a major lawsuit? Lawsuits are filed for even touching a student in many schools.

Obama is working in his snaky way, mainly behind the scenes, to eventually get the names, addresses and number an types of firearms used by ordinary citizens as he has always been laying his plans for a third and then fourth term. After, that, he plans to rule this unarmed country one way or another.

His herd of poorly educated and the ill-informed  is following him. Even Biden, in his smirky ways, is trying to make it look like he is not in "lock-step" with his master by attempting to blame his committees "investigating" tragedies that have little to do with guns but with mentally troubled and disturbed  humans. These crazies abide by the hundreds of thousands, products of our failed urban public schools systems and court systems in this 'compassionate' U.S.A.

Some would disagree, blaming the parents. But parents often are products of our public school systems. Peers and teachers can offset the best intentions of the best parents. And our failing drug control systems and sex and violence "entertainment" Hollywood types. What a mess.

I agree with enforcing existing laws. Just enforce the laws that are supposedly in place and put crazies under proper medical care as soon as they are recognized as being "mentally disturbed". And, yes, they are recognized but  current laws prevent proper actions be taken.

More, not less,  guns in the hands of sane people and concealed carry by sane people.

Absolutely.

Remove the Shit But the Hands-Out Voters and Non-Voters Won't Do It

v

Fiscal Cliff put in a much better perspective.

Lesson
# 1:
* U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000* Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000

Let's now remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget:
* Annual family income: $21,700* Money the family spent: $38,200* New debt on the credit card: $16,500* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710* Total budget cuts so far: $38.50

Got It ??
.......OK now,
Lesson # 2:
Here's another way to look at the Debt Ceiling:

Let's say, You come home from work and find
there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood....
and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do .......

Raise the ceilings, or remove the shit?


Major Insurance Companies Raising Premiums 20% or More

After ObmaCare became law, how could anyone but the most naive not understood that someone had to pick up the cost of 20,000,000,000 million plus new humans coming under radical new socialized medicine. Either the companies they work for would pick up the extra cost or pass it along to their consumers if they could, the insurance companies would band together; they are starting to do just that, to raise their costs, hospitals would raise their costs, (remember my blog where I quoted Peoria's Methodist Hospital was eagerly awaiting ObamaCare and perhaps you remember when Methodist laid off employees and stopped construction only to resume .again when they were almost certain that ObamaCare was to become the law of the land) and governments would be able to raise fees and taxes.

While I want all to have access to most preventive health care, I also expect them to avoid adding to  the government dole by adding or continuing to add themselves to more unnecessary health care as most Democrats encourage them to do along with many overly compassionate Republicans and Independents. Free Viagra types,condoms and perhaps later vibrators and dildos??

So sad.

As for myself, I have on several occasions, assessed my own health needs and avoided going to emergency or seek hospitalization by seeking a knowledgeable pharmacist advise. A month or so ago, my physician recommended I go to emergency. Instead a CVS pharmacist made a recommendation and for $15 I overcome my problem and was back playing tennis in three days.

Many of you could do the same as I suspect cost conscious people do.

Obama Insists On Putting Our Country Deeper in Debt

While blaming the Republicans. How much deeper in debt? Think $3.4. TRILLION. And that is just on the national level.  Few of those who repeatedly support him feel affected because they are either tort corporations, tort lawyers, government employees, most welfare recipients, those living off false workmen compensation benefits, many highly paid social administrators, radical union bosses and extremist envormentalists or approximately 51 % of those 57% who voted in the last general elections.

Are many Republicans and Republican Central Committees to blame also? An elementary question if you are a broad viewer, reader and listener of all medias.

So sad.

HeadStart to Get $100 Million PORK Out of Bloated Sandy Relief Bill

Sandy asked for $20 billion. Congress voted to give them $60 BILLION.The bill is loaded with PORK. Surely something in there for the under funded Peoria Riverfront Museum,

Conservative and common sense Republicans taking the blame from our Socialist President Barrack "Osama" Obama.

So sad.

Sandy Relief Bill Pork and Republican Peter King of New York

King, a Republican who is actually a Democrat in his actions. He says that every bit of pork in the relief bill is directly connected to Sandy. Such as millions for repair of a roof on a DC museum, millions for planting trees, millions for Alaskan fisheries, etc.

So sad.

Sandy Relief Bill Loaded With Earmarks

Republicans being blamed for delay of the $60 billion Sandy hurricane relief bill that is loaded with pork that has nothing to do with the Sandy disaster. Will someone tell me who the politicians are that have rolled this pork into this relief bill. Their names should be made public.

I do not have the information but I suspect most of the pork is coming from the Democrats who believe in spending far beyond the systems ability to balance in spending cuts. To Democrats every "need to spend" is a priority.

So sad.
