Are Republicans More Patriotic Than Democrats?

ARE REPUBLICANS MORE PATRIOTIC THAN DEMOCRATS?

Let’s start with the words, “Republican” and “Democrat”. The founding fathers of

this representative republic saw democracy as the worst evil that could befall a

free country.

Republicans are for the good of the republic.

Democrats are for democracy, which is mob rule.

Democracy is described as two wolves and a sheep voting on what to eat for

supper.

Republicans believe in the Constitution of the United States, which is the basis for

our laws. A country without laws would fall quickly.

Democrats believe that laws should be flexible, that we should just kind of ignore

the laws we don’t like. Your beloved ruler, Barry O. ignores a LOT of our laws and

makes up several of his own laws, even though our U.S. Constitution does not

allow him that power. The liberal Supreme court also makes up new laws even

though the US Constitution does not allow them that power either.

Constitutionally, our federal government is WAY bigger than it should be, but has

been grown large in order to pander to special interest groups and organized

crime, (labor unions).

Example: The Department of Education. Totally worthless but set up to make

money for teacher union crime bosses. The states are supposed to be in charge of

their own education systems, as it used to be. Now, to stroke union bosses, there

is a National, and totally useless, Department of Education. We, the citizens of

each city, county and state, are charged a school tax. The school tax is collected

and sent to Washington to the Department of Education. The money filters around

there, the labor bosses get their cut, Then SOME of the money is sent back to the

states to support their schools. No sense in that and no constitutional basis for it,

but it keeps the union bosses rich and ensures that they will deliver votes to

Democrat candidates. (How many of you are aware that classes are being held in

mobile trailors instead of brick and mortar classrooms?)

Add in the Department of Energy, The Air Marshal Service, The Commerce

Department, The Interagency Trade Enforcement Center, The U.S. Department

of Agriculture, The Securities Exchange Commission, U.S. Election Assistance

Commission, Affirmative Civil Enforcement “ACE”, HUD and so many more that I

don’t want to waste time and space here. These are all completely supeflouous

agencies whose functions are either redundant, uncessessary or can be done

much more efficiently at the state level.

I have heard charges of conservative “name calling”, but that is the primary tool

of the left. Whenever a liberal is confronted with cold hard facts or logic, they

start screaming senseless words they have had drilled into them by the liberal

media.

“FASCIST!”,”NAZI!”, and their favorite, “RACIST!” (Printed in all capitals because

these words must always screamed by the rabid left) , I believe the worst name I

have heard a conservative call anyone is “liberal” or maybe “Democrat.” Show me

examples of conservatives calling names anywhere NEAR the names liberals call

conservatives. Please, if you are going to accuse, show me FACTS, not opinions. I

realize the concept of facts is pretty foreign to most liberals, but give it a try.

Reality isn’t really that scary.

Back to the original unsupported charges concerning patriotism…

Lets go to Websters…

1.a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests

with devotion.

2.a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, especially of individual

rights, against presumed interference by the federal government.

Let’s go to Wikipedia…

Patriots (also known as American Whigs, Revolutionaries, Congress-Men or

Rebels) is a name often used to describe the colonists of the British Thirteen

United Colonies who rebelled against British control during the American

Revolution. It was their leading figures who, in July 1776, declared the United

States of America an independent nation. Their rebellion was based on the

political philosophy of republicanism, as expressed by pamphleteers, such as

Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Paine.

(Pamphleteers is colonialists version of bloggers)

As a group, Patriots represented an array of social, economic, ethnic and racial

backgrounds. They included college students like Alexander Hamilton; planters like

Thomas Jefferson; merchants like Alexander McDougall; lawyers like John Adams;

and plain farmers like Daniel Shays and Joseph Plumb Martin.

They are also the ones who conducted the Boston Tea Party, who oppose

oppressive taxation without representation. Our modern patriotic Tea Party

Members are also fighting against oppressive taxation without representation,

since our representatives are more committed to representing special interests

and Union members than they are about representing We, The People.

Liberal Democrats, however, are all for oppressive taxation, as it gives them more

money with which to buy the votes of Unions. It also supports the worship of

Obama as “Sort of a god”

My conclusion is, YES! Conservatives and TEA Party members ARE more patriotic

than liberal Democrats. There is a lot more I could say here, but I welcome any

LOGICAL and non-hysteric, name calling responses or criticisms to what I have

said here.

Everybody Loves A Quitter!

I smoked for 25 years and tried to quit several times.

I’ve got a new bride, I’ll quit for my wife’s sake. (That didn’t work)

I’m about to become a father, I’ll quit for my child’s sake. (That didn’t work either)

I finally realized that you can’t quit for anyone else. You have to be selfish about it and quit for yourself. My situation was that I was a singer in my youth. I was in a couple of bands and liked acting in Broadway musicals. I even had my shot in the Stuttgart Opera in Germany… I loved singing.

Several thousand packs and cartons of cigarettes later my voice was no longer what it was and I realized that I wanted to sing again… I wanted my voice back… so I determined that I would quit for ME!

A few times in the past I had tried the nicotine gums but they didn’t help. I hated the taste and I would smoke while chewing. I never really followed the directions or the program. This time I decided to try a patch and to follow all directions. I read the program, set a quit date and determined to sing again.

On by first day as a non-smoker, I got up and headed for my coffee maker. With my first sip, I knew I couldn’t do it with coffee in my hand. That was one of my smoking triggers.

Have a cup of coffee, have a smoke.

Eat a meal, then have a smoke.

Have a beer, light up a smoke.

When I pass a certain billboard, I light up because I had just enough time for a smoke before entering work.

I had to make changes to eliminate my “Smoking Triggers” So I poured out my coffee and poured a glass of apple juice.

I took a different route to work so I didn’t see that billboard.

I avoided my smoking friends during break time.

I cut out drinking beer.

With the support of my wife who realized my struggle and didn’t carp at me, I was finally able to quit. You get over the physical addiction to nicotine after about 4 days, but the hardest struggle is with the ritual of smoking.

YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR A WHILE!

My first day as a non-smoker was September 9th, 1995. Today I drink coffee, I drive in a smoke-free car, I live in a smoke-free home, I like to have a drink in the evenings, but I do not smoke. Every once in a while I get the urge to have a cigarette, a cigar, or to fill my meerschaum pipe, but then I remind myself of the struggle and anguish I went through before and I don’t want to go through that again.

Get selfish. Find a reason inside YOU, not for someone else’s sake, but for YOU!  Everybody Loves A Quitter!

Who Am I?

I was born in one country, raised in another.

My father was born in another country.

I was not his only child.

He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.

My mother died at an early age from cancer.

Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father not my mother.

Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy.

No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn’t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.

That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.

It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics in my 30′s then, with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate For national office in my 40s.

They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.

I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.

Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.

I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.

This bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy…

I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country’s economy.

I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.

I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.

It was the free market, banks and corporations.

I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

I called mine “A People’s Campaign”.

That sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that, if I merely offered the people “hope”, together we could “change” our country and the world.

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include “persecuted Minorities”.

My true views were not widely known and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation’s leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people associated with. I’m glad they didn’t.

Then I became the most powerful man in the world.

And then world learned the truth.

Who am I?

If you were thinking of SOMEONE ELSE, you should be scared, very scared!

The Argument Against Nationalized Healthcare


The idea of a nationalized healthcare system has been around for a long time, and like most other social ideas, it sounds good when you first hear it.  Healthcare for everyone in the United States would be a dream come true for lots of families but the problems with universal healthcare far outweigh the benefits.  Many countries have tried this and failed because of some basic ideas that aren’t even being considered.

The Competition – or lack thereof.  One of the things that made this country great is the free market principle of competition.  Doctors spend years in medical school to graduate and join the ranks of practicing MDs.  When they do, they usually have huge debts to repay and big dreams of being successful, rich doctors.  Competition creates winners and these doctors strive to be the best so they can make a name for themselves and ultimately make more money.

In a universal healthcare system, the government decides what doctors can charge and they all make the same amount.  There is no longer a reason for a doctor to strive to be the best because there is no reward for doing so.  This hinders medical advancement and makes everyone take the same sub-standard healthcare; it also greatly reduces the drive for people to become doctors at all.  I understand that the need to help others should always come first, but that won’t pay off years of student loans and put food on the table.

The Cost is somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 trillion per year.  That makes the recent stimulus package from congress seem small by comparison.  Large numbers like this tend to fall on deaf ears because no one really knows how much that is.  To give you an idea, it’s $10,000 per year for every person living in this country.  The reason healthcare costs have raised to where they are is because we have already begun moving toward socialized healthcare for several years now.

It works like this:  Medicare and Medicaid put about 20% of the country in a free healthcare program, but someone has to pay for it; so the other 80% see a rise in their healthcare costs.  This causes more people from the 80% to lose their healthcare because they can no longer afford it and they join the other 20% who are getting it for free.  Healthcare costs continue to rise for those who are paying for it as more and more people get it for free; but in the end, this money has to come from somewhere.

The only way to fix this problem is to un-socialize the system and make healthcare affordable to more people.  One company with a solution can be found at www.coverage4.me.  In this health program, you can get the coverage you need for medical, dental, vision and prescriptions at very low rates. They have been covering pre-existing conditions since 2005, long before it became law, by putting you into a group plan.

The Government – can’t do anything efficiently.  Every program that our government has taken over dies a slow death.  They have ruined retirement with social security, and forced more people into poverty through welfare.  This is the same group of people that pay $5,000 for a toilet seat.  Most of the people on Capitol Hill have never had to worry about healthcare and have no idea how it works.  They are interested in your vote; and if universal healthcare sounds good to you, they will be happy to do it regardless of right or wrong.  Good healthcare is not a right… it’s a privilege that should be worked for and cherished, not handed out.

I wish everyone could have the best healthcare but that is not the world we live in.  We should endeavor to make it as affordable as possible for as many people as possible, but the more “free” it becomes, the more it will cost Americans and the worse it will get.

Combating The Stigma Of Mental Illness


Mental Illness…

That sounds bad, doesn’t it? it sounds like someone is crazy or retarded, maybe just plain weak-minded. You are depressed?Snap out of it! Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Hey! It’s over. It’sin the past! Get over it! Bi-Polar? That’s just an excuse for bad behavior. Scizophrenic? Get a hold of yourself, there’s nothing wrong with you!


The mark of shame has been on mental illness for far too long. This is due to misconceptions about the types of mental illness. Knowledge is the key to erasing this stigma. Psychiatrists have started a campaign to combat these prejudices.


There are six common mental illness, which are panic attacks, dementia, eating disorders, depression, schizophrenia and addiction to drugs or alcohol. People with any of these disorders need understanding and compassion, not hostility and disapproval. When patients receive negative reactions, it drives them further into their problem.


Not all drug addicts, schizophrenics and alcoholics are violent, even though that misconception is held by a large majority of people. With the lack of education for the general public, many think that a severely depressed person will be able to pull themselves out of this problem on their own. On the other hand, the majority of the public think that those suffering from dementia, depression, schizophrenia, panic attacks and addictions cannot be helped with treatment.


World Mental Health Day is on October 10th and the focus will be on mental illnesses and human rights. The campaign to erase the stigma from mental illness focuses on providing information on types of treatments offered through self-help groups and psychotherapy. They are attempting to lift the public’s awareness of the types of mental illness that are the most common. It is the desire of the psychiatrists to not only reduce the stigma, but to allow those affected to have dignity and the same rights others enjoy.

The Illegal Invasion Of America


This is a good one!!!!!!!!!!! This came from a Newsmax.com story. I inserted a article from the Tucson Citizen from Jan 16, 2009. If you think something needs to be done about illegal immigration please read.


The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from Sonora don’t like it. Can you believe the nerve of these people? It’s almost funny.


State of Sonora is angry at Influx of Mexicans into Mexico. Nine state legislators from the Mexican state of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona ‘s new employer crackdown on illegals from Mexico . It seems that many Mexican illegals are now returning to their hometowns and the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off about it. A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to say Arizona’s new employer sanctions law will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state.


At a news conference, the legislators said Sonora – Arizona’s southern neighbor, made up of mostly small towns – cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers here return to their hometowns without jobs or money. The law, which took effect Jan.1, punishes employers who knowingly hire individuals who don’t have valid legal documents to work in the United States. Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their business license. The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning to their hometowns, placing a burden on their state government.


‘How can they pass a law like this?’ asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano-Gamez, who represents Nogales . ‘There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona ,’ she said, speaking only in Spanish. ‘Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs,’ she said. ‘We are one family, socially and economically,’ she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona.


The above came from Newsmax. I wanted to make sure this was true so I checked the newspapers in Tucson, and found the following article in the Tucson Citizen Newspaper. (J. Cooke)

Tucson Citizen

Sonoran officials slam sanctions law in Tucson visit

New Immigration Laws:

Read to the bottom or you will miss the message…
1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.
2. All ballots will be in this nation’s language.
3.. All government business will be conducted in our language.
4. Non-residents will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.
5. Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office
6 Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers.. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs. Any burden will be deported.
7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount at least equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
8. If foreigners come here and buy land… options will be restricted. Certain parcels including waterfront property are reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
9.. Foreigners may have no protests; no demonstrations, no waving of a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies. These will lead to deportation.
10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively hunted &, when caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be arranged. All assets will be taken from you.

Too strict?……

The above laws are current immigration laws of MEXICO !!!

These sound fine to me, NOW, how can we get these laws to be America ‘s immigration laws??


WAKE UP, AMERICA -
we are losing our country………

Joey Vento: Assimilation Warrior by Michelle Malkin

I love Michelle Malkin and her writing style. This article by her is a good example of why…

Joey Vento: Assimilation Warrior

By Michelle Malkin | August 29, 2011 | 12:18

Change font size:  AA

Michelle Malkin's picture

Blunt. Brash. Bold. Politically incorrect. Unapologetically patriotic. Philadelphia cheese-steak king Joey Vento was all that and a side of freedom fries. The 71-year-old owner of Geno’s Steaks died of a heart attack last week, but he reignited a national debate over radical multiculturalism that will burn for years to come.

Five years ago, Vento garnered national headlines when a local newspaper profiled his outspoken views on customers who couldn’t speak English. He hung a sign in his order window that read: “This is America. When ordering, speak English.” Though he never turned anyone away, the grandson of Italian immigrants informed hungry patrons that he reserved the “right to refuse service” to those he couldn’t understand.

No menus in 10 different languages. No dumbed-down pictographs for the idiocracy. The choice at Geno’s is simple: Sink or swim. Learn English or eat somewhere else. “If you can’t tell me what you want, I can’t serve you,” Vento told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “It’s up to you. If you can’t read, if you can’t say the word ‘cheese,’ how can I communicate with you — and why should I have to bend? I got a business to run.”

Vento’s refusal to coddle triggered a tsunami of complaints from self-appointed civil rights leaders. The ululations of the aggrieved resounded from sea to whining sea.

For exercising his constitutionally protected free speech, both the Philadelphia City Council and Philadelphia Human Relations Commission launched political inquisitions against Vento. Yes, it really happened in the home of Independence Hall. Members of the government bodies demanded that Vento remove his bald eagle-adorned sign and threatened to revoke his business license. After 21 months of investigation, a marathon seven-hour hearing and hysterical testimony likening his innocuous 4-inch-by-9-inch sign to “Jim Crow laws,” he was cleared of discrimination charges.

Plainspoken as ever, Vento understood full well why the multi-culti mob wanted to gag him: “I say what everybody’s thinking but is afraid to say.”

As a fellow Philly-born loudmouth, I cheered Vento on for years during his battles with the anti-assimilationists. He weathered the same old slings, arrows and accusations of being a “racist,” “xenophobe,” “nativist” and immigrant-basher — despite the fact that generations of assimilated immigrants and naturalized Americans agree with him. The vast majority of Americans support English as the official language of the United States. Latino parents in California revolted against “bilingual education” mandates that stuck their kids in Spanish-only classes.

Generations of successful immigrant families in America know English is the language of success, not the language of oppression. Yet, politicians in both parties have pandered ceaselessly to the language-Balkanizers.

The Clinton administration gave us Executive Order 13166, effectively requiring all government agencies to provide translations into any language on demand. Rather than rescind the order, the Bush administration went after localities and forced them to provide foreign language materials. In 2004, the Bush administration ordered Harris County, Texas, to provide all voter registration and election information and supplies, including the voting machine ballot, in Vietnamese, as well as English and Spanish.

Under the Obama administration, the Department of Justice threatened to cut off federal funding to the state of Oklahoma over a state constitutional amendment proposal to designate English as its official language. The Obama DOJ also has ordered my home state of Colorado to protect the interests of “language minority populations” by funding free translators for any foreigners — legal or illegal — who sue in civil cases here. In the same vein, the Philadelphia Human Rights Commission that tried to silence Vento distributes pamphlets asking “Are you a victim of discrimination?” in seven languages.

“Progressive” politicians pandering for votes treat non-English speakers as hopeless victims of white hegemony, instead of beneficiaries of the American dream. By contrast, small-business man Joey Vento promoted a common culture, a common tongue and common sense. We need more assimilation warriors like him to challenge the infantilizing Babel Lobby.

Michelle Malkin is the author of “Culture of Corruption: Obama and his Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks & Cronies” (Regnery 2010). Her e-mail address is malkinblog@gmail.com.

PS: I Like this example as well…

Why Raise The Debt Ceiling?


The Obama Stimulus (click here for the video)

The ANNUAL, interest alone will be in excess of $100,000,000,000.


After being unemployed for the past two years as a direct result of the actions and decisions of America’s ruler, Barak Hussein Obama, I finally got some work. That’s why I haven’t been writing for a couple of weeks. (It’s easier to write steadily on a blog when you don’t have a job to go to.) Sometimes, however, something comes up that makes you forget about the weird hours you are working and how tired you are after spending your day working in the sun. It makes you stop and pay attention when you hear something on the radio that will effect your life and the lives of your family, your children, your grand children and maybe even their grand children. It makes you angry when the people you hired to do a job have turned against your best interests to serve their own interests. Let’s get into details…


With a debt ceiling of 14 trillion, he wants to make it 16 trillion

I, and millions of others, voted for conservative Congressmen and Senators and sent them to Washington to do a job. Their job was to stop the outrageous spending and bring some fiscal sense and responsibility back to the government of our country. Many freshman Congressmen and women were elected on a platform of cutting taxes, cutting spending and smaller government. Some of them are working hard toward that goal… others are fraternizing with the enemy, thinking they need to go along to get along.


Socialism has only been a failure all around the world because the right people weren’t in charge…


Some are running scared of the liberals in the congress and senate. They are afraid that if the United States has our credit rating lowered, the blame will go to the Republicans for causing the downgrade. They are afraid they won’t get re-elected if that happens. (Democrats and their minions in the media will certainly try to blame them)

Wrong Answer.


If they fold and capitulate, fail to hold the line against this socialist administration, fail to do what we, the people, elected them to do, they will not be re-elected by the people who voted for them in 2010.

Karl Marx… Obama’s Inspiration


The blame, in truth, falls squarely on the shoulders of the man who wanted to “fundamentally change America”. He has been successful in his goal. Unprecedented unemployment, aggressive and progressive tax hikes (as recommended in “The Communist Manifesto”), seizure of banks and industries, proclaiming that the free market, the market that made America the greatest nation in the world, is the enemy, is definitely a fundamental changing of America. The people who create jobs are demonized, while the people who don’t really want jobs are given a free ride. While 50% of Americans now pay no taxes, those who make 200K or more per year are demonized and labelled as “Millionaires and Billionaires” and have to carry the entire tax burden. (My daughter’s business grossed a little over 300K last year, but that supports her immediate family and the families of her employees. She and her husband are nowhere near being millionaires)


OK…


So Obama and the Democrats want to raise the debt ceiling by another two trillion dollars. Why?


Just looking back over the past couple of years, the reason is obvious… it is solely for the purpose of digging America deeper into debt and “fundamentally changing” America. The deeper in debt he can put  America, the weaker he makes America in the world. He has said in the past that there is nothing special about America and that America has been arrogant. I believe that anyone who wants to be the President of the United States of America should at least LIKE America. He should also have, at least a small idea about economics. No one has ever  borrowed and spent their way out of debt. He wants to raise the debt ceiling so he can borrow more and continue to spend, and the more he spends, the more burden is placed on future generations. The debt will never be paid off in ANY of our lifetimes.

Now up over 12 million jobs have disappeared the past 2 years


When the leadership of this country has no desire, whatsoever, to pay off the national debt, when all income to the government goes to more spending instead of balancing the budget, when all they want to do is borrow more and use the money to buy votes, then it is time to get rid of those leaders. Thomas Jefferson said that there should be a  revolution at least every twenty years or so to keep government from becoming too powerful and corrupt. I say the revolution is long passed due. I’m not talking about grabbing guns and torches and pitchforks and heading for Washington. I’m talking about a revolution at the ballot box in 2012. Check the voting record of your Congressmen and Senators before you go to the polls. (Do a Google search. Enter the person’s name plus the words “voting record”) If your Congressman or Senator voted to raise your taxes, voted to put America deeper into debt, voted for special interests instead of the voter’s interest, VOTE THEM OUT!


Remember: Capitalism may be the unequal distribution of wealth, but socialism is the equal distribution of poverty, and socialism is running rampant in our government.

The Seperation Clause Rant

The Seperation Clause Rant

Posted 4/3/2011 @ 10:03:14 am by rainboreview.com


This guy is a little more adamant than me, but he sure makes a point

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

(First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution)


I’m tired of atheist carrying on the lie that there is a separation of church and state in the constitution, just because democrats say so. The first amendment says that the Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Can you show me a law that congress has made to establish ANY religion? Some God haters claim that “Under God” and “In God We Trust” is the government forcing a religion on the people. There are over 100,000 religions in this world, so tell me, what official religion are they establishing?

I don’t mean to get off on a rant here, but the first amendment also says that the free exercise of religion shall not be prohibited. Why is it that the religion of atheism (and it is to the level of a religion) gets to trump all other religions? Statistics show that only 4% of Americans describe themselves as Atheist, and only 2.3% worldwide. Why should a very small minority over rule the vast majority? Maybe the pledge of allegiance should say “One Nation 96% Under God” or our money should say “In God 96% of Us Trust” just so everyone will know that we aren’t talking about YOU.

96% Believe there is a God

The Establishment Clause prohibits the federal, state or municipal establishment of an official religion or other preference for one religion over another, non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion. Originally, the First Amendment applied only to the federal government. Subsequently, Everson v. Board of Education (1947) incorporated the Establishment Clause (i.e., made it apply against the states). However, it was not until the middle to late twentieth century that the Supreme Court began to interpret the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses in such a manner as to restrict the promotion of religion by the states.

(Wikipedia)


It’s bad enough that our current administration is pandering to the religion of Islam to the detriment of the nation. Why is Hillary Clinton’s State Department, with the blessings of Obama, sponsoring a pro-Islamic trip to the Middle East by the Imam who wants to build a mosque at ground zero? Why are American tax dollars promoting the building of a mosque and sending this Imam on a “Goodwill Tour” of the middle east. Why aren’t the Atheists raising a stink about the separation of church and state about this? Is it because Atheists are only against Christianity and Judaism, or is it because Christians and Jews don’t want to blow you up if you disagree with them?



American courts turning against Israel and Christianity

I see that there are two kinds of atheists; there are the people who just don’t believe in any god, but then you have the radical atheists who are like a spoiled child who pops another child’s balloon. Their message is, “If I don’t have it or want it, you can’t have it either!” Talk about trying to force your beliefs on others, their belief says “no” to the majority’s beliefs.

Second Amendment Rant

Second Amendment Rant

Posted 4/10/2011 @ 2:11:20 pm by rainboreview.com



A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.


(The Second Amendment to the US Constitution)


So… what does this mean to you and me and the average American citizen? It means that you, as a citizen, have a right to own and use firearms, for defense of your self and family, to hunt for food and to help, with your neighbors, be the last line of defense in the event of another nation attacking our own.

Although positioned second in the bill of rights, this right to keep and bear arms is actually first among equals. Without this right, we wouldn’t have the others and we would still be subject to the rule of the monarchy in England. Yes, if there had been “gun control” back in 1776 the citizens and patriots of the time would not have had the means to secure our freedom.



Oppressive regimes throughout just the past century have first sought to find and remove weapons from the hands of the citizenry before making radical change and oppressing the people.


Check out these facts…

Before WWII started, Hilter explained why he made it illegal for Jews to have guns and why he had to confiscate them….


“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing.”


- Adolf Hitler

(Another quote, many people like to reference and attribute to Hitler is the following:


This year will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!


As dramatic as it seems, It has been proven to be bogus.)


(Just something to think about. You may not want a gun in your house, but you might be glad you neighbor has one in his.)

Again, why the controversy?

Liberals in politics almost invariably want to restrict gun ownership among the citizens. They say that guns cause crime or that you are more likely to shoot yourself or a family member if you have a gun in your home. Each time there is a shooting or a mass killing, they stand in front of the TV cameras and cry that we need more gun control. Even worse is when they say they want to outlaw all guns in the country, sure that taking guns out of the hands of citizens would end gun violence.


Every statistic proves them to be fools.


A few more facts


Fact: The murder rates in many nations were ALREADY LOW BEFORE enacting gun control. Thus, their restrictive laws cannot be credited with lowering their crime rates.

Fact: Gun control has done nothing to keep crime rates from rising in many of the nations that have imposed severe firearms restrictions.

* Australia: Readers of the USA Today newspaper discovered in 2002 that, “Since Australia’s 1996 laws banning most guns and making it a crime to use a gun defensively, armed robberies rose by 51%, unarmed robberies by 37%, assaults by 24% and kidnappings by 43%. While murders fell by 3%, manslaughter rose by 16%.”

* Canada: After enacting stringent gun control laws in 1991 nd 1995, Canada has not made its citizens any safer. “The contrast between the criminal violence rates in the United States and in Canada is dramatic,” says Canadian criminologist Gary Mauser in 2003. “Over the past decade, the rate of violent crime in Canada has increased while in the United States the violent crime rate has plummeted.”

* England: According to the BBC News, handgun crime in the United Kingdom rose by 40% in the two years after it passed its draconian gun ban in 1997


So… Either the left wants to oppress or slaughter a group of people they don’t like, or they want our crime rate to rise so we can keep up with the rest of the world. What do YOU think?
