Gun Rights Stand Test of Time

Commentary by David Petronis, June 26, 2008

              Well, it’s swell!  Five out of nine Justices of the Supreme Court of the USA agreed that our Founding Fathers had it right all along these past two hundred and some years since they penned the Second Amendment.  The Right of the People to own guns shall not be infringed.  But what does that say about the other four in robes?  Probably none of them have been mugged yet.

              In seriousness, with that small margin this historic vote along party lines could well have been cast in a different manner.  What should have been Nine to Zero, this vote made Justice Kennedy the most powerful man in the US, the swing man.  As are the “Independents” who will swing this November 4th election one way or the other because they can’t seem to take a stand until they see how the wind is blowing.  Whether Justice Kennedy is one of the great men who weighs all options or simply votes his convictions on an issue or just throws a dart, I don’t know.   Regardless, this time he targeted the right spot in our Constitution and saved our day in court.  This ruling could have very far reaching effects on all our besieged rights.

              I would imagine the National Rifle Association is partying down in DC about now. And probably getting ready to assault a few more gun banning laws and cities in the near future.  I heard Chief James Tuffey of the Albany Police Department comment on the radio today that it wasn’t the legal guns that he was worried about but rather the illegal “straw man” purchases made in other, less regulated States than New York, then filtered here onto his streets.  He said that he favored a Federal Law that would be applied to all gun purchasers equally in all the States.  Well, States Rights issues aside, as a gun dealer and as a firearms carrier I would even go along with something like that if all gun carry permits were then recognized as Federal Carry Permits, good anywhere in the USA.  I think even the good old NRA would find that compromise interesting.

              The news today was full with reporting of this court decision.  Most call-in folks to radio talk shows were pro-gun and liked the ruling.  But the news spots had to find the guy who thought this was disastrous and how it was so important now to vote for democrats this November.  I’m sure his life on earth will forever now be terrorized by gun-totin’ Republicans!

              So what about the New York State pistol permits that are labeled for “Hunting and Target” shooting only, in some counties?  Is it legal for a local Judge to apply his “feelings” to your Constitutional Right to gun ownership?  Probably not, though never been challenged.

              Today’s ruling explicitly stated that Citizens have a right to have a gun in their home for self protection.  Does that mean the “Castle Doctrine” laws that forty or so other States have adopted must be legally available in all States?  Like here in New York?  NY says we citizens have to run out the back door if someone is trying to break in your front door, the “escape route” option.  I am going to have the idiot running in the front door hitting the floor from a blast of .44, no option here.  Will I now be legally protected?  Unfortunately, this ruling by the Supreme’s doesn’t address any of these issues.

              It was still a great day for gun owners and sane people throughout this great Country.  At last a little sanity has come down from on high and, at least today, all is right with the world.

    

What Goes Around, Comes Around ....June 16, 2008 ~ Oil futures hit another new high today on Wall Street.  Do you know where the name Wall Street came from?  Let me clue you in on a little known fact.  Back in the late 1600's when the New York City area was know as New Amsterdam there were wild hogs roaming everywhere.  In order to keep these marauding pigs out of the streets a large wall was built on the edge of town and over the years was rebuilt and strengthened.  In time the pigs were kept at bay from this area that was to be known as Wall Street.  And as is the case with much of our forgotten history the real reason for the name was lost. Now, I want a bunch of you people who live and work down there in the Big Apple to throw open your sash and yell from the towers, "The PIGS are back, the Pigs are back" and let these wall street hogs who are driving up our oil and ruining our lives as Americans know who they are.  I am returning your lives back to you, use them wisely!

The One, the Only, He has Come!

Commentary by David Petronis, June 2, 2008

      Barak Hussein Obama has now resigned from his church because he doesn’t want his Pastor or his mentors or his other church member brothers and sisters to have to endure any more controversy in the news simply because he is running for the democrat candidacy for President of these United States.  Isn’t that special?  Isn’t that the most unselfish act you have ever heard?  BHO is giving up his church of twenty years so no more controversy and threats will be aimed at his Trinity United Church members by the media.  Wow, what a guy!  Sounds more like BULL.

      So it came to pass that the righteous one, the white skinned hater of America, was called upon by the Almighty above to save Obama and drive him from the flock.  Not because of wickedness but for LOVE.  Drive him to besmirch the church for hate speech due whitey from whitey so the real Negro could speak again to his Pastoral flock; the anointed one can reign without controversy and be free to lurk in circles of deceit and depravity whilst his tined tongue beseech thee who speaks the Negro secession of oppression.  So is the word of GOD…A, according to Father Pfleger!  Change, oh change has BEGUN!

      It is said that there will come unto us a Savior.  One who will lead us to his home of astonishing beauty where one will live forever among promises of glory and satisfaction. That a change will come from a man of destiny and Deity who will speak the words all wish to consume.  None shall be suspect of his words or deeds while they listen and see the Glory. None will doubt the sincerity of his convictions nor detect the venom spurred to his victims.  He will come in splendor and pomp among and through his hoard with meretricious merriment and subtle deceitful scorn.  The Anti-Christ will deceive you with love to devour your soul with despise.

      Anyway, that is how I see this not black enough Muslim convert who just trounced the Whitey Woman who knew it was her legitimate turn.  How about you?  Rush Limbaugh seems to think that the white Priest was given the task of providing Hussein the way out while pointing the blame to whitey instead of wacky blacky Wright.  Better White than Wright… to blame.  I tend to agree with glee and know in my heart that the Libs will conjure and conspire to any end to justify whatever deemed their final goal.


Below are a few lines from Obama's book; In his words!

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

You decide whether we should use his middle name, HUSSEIN.

Do you know anyone who may be interested? Have them check out the Chevy website, http://www.chevy200k.com

We ONLY want people who have 200k MILES on their SILVERADO truck and a GREAT STORY and WANTS to be in a national commercial.  (GUN DEALERS ??)

We'll need their photo and a photo of their truck and their contact info to get started. SEND THIS ASAP!

How Not to Bag a Moose!  Below....

I wonder when we are going to bomb Iran.  Muslims seem to only understand that might is right.  Now we hear from two of the Gulf States that we protect daily insist that the US can't use our bases on their soil to make war on Iran.  But Iran can perform an act of war against one of our best allies, the British.  I say, knock their veils and rags off the sheetheads and blow them back to the stone age, about a hundred years from where they are now!  And to the local Muslim professor who just resigned from Skidmore in Saratoga Springs, NY because of the controversy over ethnic jokes and too much US Patriotism in Sea World, FL I say good riddance.  You are right we don't want you over here.  If you claim Turkish- American citizenship go cry about us in Turkey and take the rest of the Turkeys with you.  I believe Rush Limbaugh had a hand in her final decision, thanks, Rush.  A tit for tat for bus drivers.

 

Now that president of Iran, ajimagibaji or what ever his name is has been granted a US visa to speak at the untidy nations building in New York what say we make a movie about the exploits of his kidnapping and torture by being made to work building houses for 400 days with his old friend Jimmy boy Carter?

Ok, we lost. You think now that the Dems are in power we can all just "get along" and go forward to make a better world? ... That sound is me puking!

 

Dave, Here is my plan on HOW TO SAVE THE AIRLINES ...

Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell -- They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss?

The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women.

Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and "special services."

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues. This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.

Why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

The Cost of Raising Offspring! Over a Buck an Hour!

The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family.  Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.  But, when you think about it, $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down.  It translates into: $8,896.66 a year, or $741.38 a month, or $171.08 a week.  That's a mere $24.24 a day!  Just over a dollar an hour.

Still, you might think the best financial advice is "don't have children" if you want to be "rich."  Actually, it is just the opposite.  Let's see what you get for your $160,140.00.  First, you get; Naming rights. First, middle, and last!  Then:
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites.
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.

For $160,140, you never have to grow up. You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs, and
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.

You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* watch Saturday morning cartoons,
* go to Disney movies, and * wish on stars.
* You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.

For $160,140, there is no greater bang for your buck. You get to be a hero just for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter, or * filling a wading pool,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream or pizza regardless.

You get a front row seat to history, to witness the:
* first step, * first word,* first bra, * first date, and * first time behind the wheel.

You get to be immortal.  You get another branch added to your family tree and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great- grandchildren.  You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.

In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits. So, one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost. That is quite a deal for the price!  A mere dollar an hour.

Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren!  I do mine.  Every Day!

Politically Incorrect Views ~ Remember, this is MY PAGE!

I have had it up to my eye brows with the Hollywood "push" of white folks and colored people having affairs on nearly every TV show being aired today!  If you writers and progressive producers think your tainted view of the world is reality, you're nuts!  If it isn't a blond and a black having a new tryst on CSI it's a couple of Homo Cops doing dirty years ago on Cold Case while a current white jelly bellied one pursues a dark filly in Philly. It is never ending and seems to run from show to show where whites and blacks have to end up sleeping together nightly on our living room screens.  It's enough to make me puke!

I started watching the new show with the stupid title of "3 lbs." Into the third episode the numb nuts brain surgeon has to have an affair with the colored lawyer. What, there's no nice Jewish girls! They love Brain Doctors. Give me a break!  And the sit-coms are more like s--t-coms with the mixed race affairs.  Or did you think we were color blind!  Am I being racist? No, I'm being smothered in Bullshit!

I am not a racist.  I am practical.  I can remember when someone would be lynched for being impractical.  Not to condone that behavior but the free wiliness today of interracial affairs is no better. I see it every day at my local super market or shops, a salt 'n pepper combo as it used to be called.  It would be just fine if they both got neutered but their little head has to get satisfied and the little fry's show up.  And they think the world is going to accept all this.  I doubt it.  And not for one minute do I believe the majority of the colored folks approve of it either.  (Here is where I insert the possible imbedded racist harboring ... if you want to be African, go there... If you want to be American, you can stay.  If you come across the border learn and speak English, if you come across the oceans learn to eat hamburger, not duck feet and monkey brains.  And if you come from muslimland don't be a "sheethead" over here, convert to Christianity or stay home.  We don't need your huddled masses any more. This is AMERICA for AMERICANS.  But I digress.)

And the commercials!  Another fairytale from fairyland.  How many of you have interracial family dinners on Thanksgiving and Christmas?  Not I, thank God.  But to watch the commercials one would think these are daily occurrences and that all white families have a few coloreds in their closet.  I have no problem with mixed entertainment or inviting any friends over for tea but I would not want my daughter bringing home a stray for dinner no matter what color he was.  The blond drummer boy was bad enough.

Are Target Stores really on target with the white and black cooking and dancing together?  Is all this pushing for ethnic and racial equality silently burning people up inside?  I doubt if these views are mine alone.  I like people and especially divergent people who I can converse with and learn something.  I'll talk to the party at the adjoining dinner table or bar stool.  I don't care what color or race they are, if the thought even enters my mind.  But I don't want my family genes mixing with another race to try to repopulate the world into one color as Hollywood must see it.  Black and white makes gray and I see no reason to step back in time.  I want the full color spectrum in my world, separate colors, not tints of gray. Hollywood, get real for a change!

But you know where this is going to lead, don't you?  Mark my words; 2008 will be Hollywood and the media news ... the Good Southern Queen and the Black Knight, a made for TV fantasy come true.  Hillary Clinton and Barak Osama ... Osoma Bama ... Hussain Baroma ... Holy Ommama and the blond bombma!  My head reels!

Cathy and I bought a new Chrysler and returned to the dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. Fred, the salesman, explained that the radio was voice activated.

"Nelson," Fred said to the radio.  The Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?" "Willie," he continued, and "On The Road Again" came from the speakers.  Then he said, "Ray Charles," and in an instant "Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson. And the display showed the artist and song that was playing.  I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, "Beethoven," I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, "Beatles," I'd get one of their awesome songs. My favorite is Elvis, and I keep calling his name and he keeps singing to me.  I love it! 

Yesterday, a couple of dorks ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them. In doing so I yelled, "Ass Holes!"

Damn, I LOVE this car!  See Fred Waller at Terry Morris in Ballston Spa, NY and see what he can do for you!


Now It's Crappy Old News ...

New York State Gun Owners and others will have their problems multiplied if Elliot Spitzer wins the Governors race, which appears today that he will.

Gun Shows in State facilities will surely be in the past and new anti-gun legislation will only be a vote away after he takes office. And have you seen photos or ads for his running mate?  Is Spitzer afraid to show the voters that Patterson is black? Is he afraid that New Yorkers may not be ready to turn over the reins to a black Governor if in time of need?  I just wonder aloud why I never see or hear of him.

 

Hillary Loses Senate Debate . . . Big Time

By Dick Morris & Eileen McGann ~  From NewsMax.com

On Friday night, Hillary Clinton finally had to face an unscripted, uncontrolled media event — a debate with her feisty opponent John Spencer, the Republican candidate for Senator from New York this year.

Spencer pinned her ears back with his opening statement when he declared:
"I am the only person here who really wants to be the Senator from
New York . . . she wants to be President."

And then he exploited the opening by reminding Hillary "you're not the President yet."

During the debate, Spencer highlighted Hillary's vote against the NSA's wiretapping program and her efforts to kill the Patriot Act.

John Spencer began his challenge to Hillary tonight. The race starts today.

Hillary's huge financial advantage and her lead in the polls was of little use tonight because it was obvious that the empress has no clothes.

While Hillary gave scripted, rehearsed answers, Spencer challenged her failure to deliver on her campaign promises of 200,000 new jobs and mocked her refusal to accept blame for anything, pinning the job loss on Bush and the North Korea bomb on the State Department.

But beyond the words, there were the appearances. Hillary Clinton was a Richard Nixon look-alike tonight, wearing pancake makeup, featuring hooded eyes that never met the camera, and looking like she felt — angry at having to waste time justifying her Senate tenure in something as trivial as an election.

John Spencer may not beat Hillary, but he sure made her sweat tonight. If she wins by less than 12 points — the margin Lazio lost by in 2000 — she will have a lot of explaining to do. And John Spencer, may just be the guy to make it happen.

 

Senate and House seats for the Republican majority are also on the line in this coming election.  If you fine conservatives are still using your brain I hope you use it to study the whole picture and the consequences that will come with a Republican loss.

Taking a wee break from the golf circuit, Tiger Woods drove his new Ford Excursion into an Irish gas station. An attendant greeted him
in typical Irish manner, unaware who the golf pro was. "Top of the
mornin' to ya!" the Irish man smiled, doffing his cap.
As Tiger got out of the mammoth vehicle, two tees fell out of his
pocket. "So what are those, lad?" asked the attendant.

"They're called tees," replied Tiger.  
"And what would ya be usin' 'em for, now?" inquired the Irishman. 
"Well, they're for resting my balls on when I drive," said Tiger. 
"AW! Jaysus, Mary an' Joseph," exclaimed the Irish attendant. "Those
fellas at FORD think of everything!" 
  

 See!! I am not a racist!  I hate everyone equally.  ... But especially "Sheet Heads."

 

How about a fun game of real Golf on the Internet?

Happy Fourth of July... Now when will we free Americans be free again from undue taxation?

This was sent from a friend in Canada.

This is an interesting, if not disgusting, story if only half true. I'd like to add that Social Security is basically a chain letter or pyramid scheme the likes of which are against the law in most States and that it really doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat or a Republican. In the future you can look forward to higher FICA taxes, lower benefits and a later eligibility age. That's if the system is even around in the future which is doubtful after about 2030!

Many years ago in Seattle, two wonderful neighbors, Elliott and Patty Roosevelt came to my home to swim on a regular basis. They were a great couple full of laughter and stories that today I continue to marvel at. Both are now deceased, but their stories remain. During the years of our friendship we had many, many discussions about Elliott's parents (President Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt) and how his father and mother never intended for the Social Security and Welfare programs to turn out the way they are today. Elliott used to say that if his parents returned to earth and saw what the politicians had done to their programs they would have burned all of them in hell.

Here is a story I received today regarding the Social Security Program and I immediately thought of Elliott's comments. I Hope you will read this and think about it.
_____________________________________________

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and,

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to "put away" -- you may be interested in the following:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent "Trust Fund" and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US.

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it.

Then, after doing all this lying and thieving and violating of the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

... and you thought we were FREE.

 

June 9, 2006 ... The "I Don't Care Letter" ... This one I hope you can pass on and p- ss them ALL OFF!! 

WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?

 "Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?  Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?  Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?  And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?  Well, I don't.  I don't care at all.

 I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.  I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat. 
(Well, Zarqawi won't be doing much now that he is at room temperature.  Way to go, GI's !!)

 I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the
innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.  I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

 In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave Marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care!  When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby- trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.

 When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care. And by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran."  Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and ---- you got it, I DON'T CARE!

 If you agree with this view point, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior! If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical muslims happen here in our own great country.

 

June 4 ... The Castle Doctrine ... Your Right to not retreat, your home is your Castle.  How would the elephants and jackasses vote in the NYS Legislature?

 About two-thirds of the States have now passed laws similar to Florida's Castle Doctrine law passed in the spring of 2005 and more States are in the process.  Then why does New York State law require its' citizens to run away from an attacker or home intruder when we should be able to defend our home, life and property with similar or more force?  What would the current line up for the Governor's Mansion do with a NYS Castle Doctrine proposal?  How would your State Representative vote in his or her Legislative house?  It may be time to think about it before our time to vote for them comes around again.  Here is an article from Florida.

Florida passes Castle Doctrine law
At last, balance shifts away from criminals

By MARION P. HAMMER
Published on: 05/02/05
Florida's new Castle Doctrine law reverses the pendulum that for far too long has swung in the direction of protecting the rights of criminals over the rights of their victims. The new law simply says if a criminal breaks into your home or your occupied vehicle, you may presume he is there to do bodily harm and you may use any force, including deadly force, against him. Marion P. Hammer, past president of the National Rifle Association, is executive director of Unified Sportsmen of Florida.
The Castle Doctrine law also removes the "duty to retreat" when you're outside your home and in a place you have a legal right to be. Consider the following scenario: a woman is walking down the street and is attacked by a rapist who tries to drag her into an alley. Under prior Florida law, the woman had a legal "duty to retreat." The victim of the attack was required to try to run away. Not anymore. Today, that woman has no obligation to retreat. If she chooses, she may stand her ground and fight. She may meet force with force, including deadly force, if she reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm.
No one knows what is in the twisted mind of a violent criminal. You can't expect a victim to wait before taking action to protect herself and say, "Excuse me, Mr. Criminal, did you drag me into this alley to rape and kill me or do you just want to beat me up and steal my purse?"
Calling 911 won't save her life. The victim has a split second to take action to defend her life. That decision must be hers, not a prosecutor who isn't anywhere near the scene. Law-abiding citizens shouldn't have to worry about being prosecuted for doing what the Constitution and common sense give us all the right to do.
Law-abiding citizens only want to be able to protect themselves. Proof of that statement can be found by examining the public record of Florida's lawful firearms owners. Of more than 1 million Florida gun owners who were issued licenses to carry concealed firearms for self-defense over the past 18 years, roughly 0.0001 of 1 percent misused their guns and had their licenses revoked. What other group has a better record of responsible citizenship?
Survey research shows that at least half of Florida's homes have firearms in them, and there are approximately 6 million individual law-abiding gun owners. The overwhelming majority say the primary reason they own guns is for personal protection.
That's what this law is all about: restoring your right under the Castle Doctrine and the Constitution to protect yourself, your family and others. Your home is your castle, and you have a right — as ancient as time itself — to absolute safety in it. Florida law is now on the side of law-abiding victims rather than criminals. And that is the way it is supposed to be.

 

May 25 ... Mexicans Supply Cheap Labor!

Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about? Business's don't want to pay a decent wage, consumers don't want expensive produce, and the Government will tell you that Americans don't want the low paying jobs but the bottom line is, cheap labor!

The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor!" Take for example, an illegal Mexican who sneaks in here with his wife and five children. He takes a job for five or six dollars an hour. At that wage with six dependents he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year if he files income tax he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free!

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps. He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care. His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school while requiring bilingual teachers and books. He qualifies for relief from high energy bills. If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at our, the taxpayer, expense.

He doesn't have to worry about car insurance, life insurance, or home owners insurance. We the taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material. He cannot be fired, harassed, or sued. He and his family receive the equivalent of $20. to $30.00 an hour in benefits. Working Americans are lucky to have $5. or $6.00 an hour left after paying their bills and his.

And we, the taxpayers, also pay for increased crime, graffiti, and trash clean up. "Cheap labor?" YEAH, RIGHT! FOR WHO?

Now Consider Cheap Tomatoes!

This note is from a retired teacher whose wife is still a teacher in the Riverside California area and has been for many years. The attached is her first hand knowledge...

"As you all listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration there are some things that you should be aware of. As most of you know my wife is in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school, which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its student's average in the lower socio-economic income levels. Most of the schools you are hearing about- South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc.- where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.

My wife tells me that 100% of the students in her school and other Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast, free lunch program. When I say free breakfast I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll... but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. She estimates that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO HAVE cell phones.

The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for baby-sitters or having family watch their kids. She was ordered to spend $700,000 on her department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; her budget was already substantial. She ended up buying brand new computers for their computer learning center; half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America.

She has had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" -whores- and throwing things that the teachers were in tears.

Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges, and entitlements? To my conservative friends: I hope you're really proud of how George W. Bush has helped to sell-out this country with his pro-illegal alien policy. I voted for him too, but on this issue he is a disaster.

To my bleeding-heart liberal friends who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes. Spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs. We have higher insurance, Medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc. As for me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.

We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will leave and return voluntarily? There are many hardworking Hispanic/ American citizens that contribute to our country and many that I consider my true friends. We should encourage and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way.

It does, however, have everything to do with culture. A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate... and an American culture that has become so weak and politically correct that we don't have the will to do anything about it. It makes my blood boil!"

But we have assets in times of turmoil!

Let's say a big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale has hit Mexico. It is tragic, I know, but two million Mexicans have died and over a million are injured. The country is totally ruined and the government doesn't know where to start and is asking for help to rebuild. The rest of the world is in shock.

Canada is sending troopers to help the Mexican army control the riots. Saudi Arabia is sending oil. Other Latin American countries are sending all sorts of supplies. The European community (except France) is sending food and money.

And the good 'ol United States, not to be outdone, is sending two million replacement Mexicans carrying Mexican and USA flags with a big sign saying, "WE CAN SEND ALL YOU NEED!"    God Bless AMERICA !!

April 13, 2006 .... Read Robin Williams' plan for Liberty and Order!  

A GOOD PLAN..

Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says "I love New York" in Arabic.

The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses."  She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "  ... Robin Williams

Though I like it and it sounds like what he would say, the following plan circulating is NOT from Robin Williams.  I wish I thought of it, though.  What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.  Supposedly, this is Robin Williams' plan... (Hard to argue with this logic!)  "I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our interference in their affairs, past and present.  You know Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good ole boys', we will never interfere again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East and the Philippines, they don't want us there. We would station these troops at our borders.  No one allowed in sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave, we'll give them a free trip home.  After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are, they're illegal! France will welcome them in.

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to a 90 day Visa unless given a special work permit!  No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in.  If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone.  We don't need any more cab drivers, motel owners or 7-11 cashiers.

5) No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers.  If they don't attend classes, they get a 'D' and it's 'Sayonara Baby'.

6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness.  The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else.  They can go somewhere else to sell their production.

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere'.  They can pray to Allah or whomever for seeds, rain, cement or whatever else they need.  Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to their army.  The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace and make a new TV Reality Show out it.  We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school.  That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer.  The Language we speak is ENGLISH... learn it... or LEAVE...  Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?

The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses."  She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' " ... Robin Williams (The last quote is true.)

But I Really Like It! ...Send it on to your 'Representative' in our Congress of Perpetual Wimps.

 

Why Kids Grow up Hating Mexicans ...

A little Mexican boy goes into the kitchen where his mom is baking.  He puts his hand in the flour and wipes it all over his face.

"Mom, look, I'm a white boy."  His mom slaps him in the face and says, "Go show your father".

He goes to his dad in the living room and says, "Look dad, I'm a white boy." His dad slaps him hard in the face and says, "Go show your grandmother." The boy goes in his grandmothers room and says, "Mira, abuelita, I'm a white boy." His grandmother slaps him in the face and sends him back to his mother.
His mother says, "See. Did you learn anything from that?"

To which the boy replies, "Sure did. I have only been white for five minutes and I already hate you Mexicans."

... and see Teddy's Immigration ideas,  I totally agree!

April 8, 2006 ... I personally believe in Teddy's fine position on Immigration and think that the whole Country should now unite behind him so his ideas become the law of the land.  Don't you?

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
  I totally agree with his sentiments.


If you are ready for the Adventure of a Lifetime, TRY THIS:

Enter Mexico illegally.  Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense. Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.  Demand bilingual nurses and doctors. Also, demand free bilingual local and national government forms, bulletins, road signs, etc. 

Don't forget to procreate abundantly.  Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural U.S.A. thing. You would not understand, pal."

Keep your
American identity strong.  Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window and on your car bumper.

Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.
  Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.
Demand a local Mexican driver license.  This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal presence in
Mexico.  Drive around with no liability insurance and ignore local traffic laws.  Also insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.

And ... Good luck!  You'll need it because you could demand for the rest of time or more likely, soon be dead!  Because it will never happen!  It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world except right here in the good old United States, Land of the naive and stupid, with particularly idiotic politically correct politicians.  Go ahead and try the above in
Mexico!!


 

April 4... Tomorrow, 2 minutes and 3 seconds after 1:00 AM the time and date will be; 01:02:03 04/05/06.  It will never occur again, you may live through it but learned about it here!  Now you may resume your Normal Life.

 

April 2, 2006 ... My old retirement plan just hasn't worked out quite the way I had hoped.  So, I now have a New Retirement Plan that I firmly believe will be breaking news and become the wave of the future. The stock market picks my personal advisor urged upon my wallet went something like this:

Purchasing $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, now nets $49.00.
With Enron, I have $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00 investment.
With WorldCom, I have less than $5.00 left. My $1000.00 of K-Mart ended up to be zero with bankruptcy. (But I do find it ironic that the new K-Mart had enough of my money left to buy Sears Company). The $2000.00 I put in Prodigy I shouldn't have.  So, rethinking these investments and living the stress of my loss I've come up with a better solution to my Retirement pleasure and strategy.  I have concluded that if I had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
all the beer and in the process had a good time with less stress, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, I would now have $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle. I'm calling it the 401-Keg Plan.  Buy Beer Stock!

Feb. 28 ~ New Words ... Below Dick and Bill ...
Feb 15, Dick shoots Lawyer ....  Good Boy!  The Talk Shows are having a field day at the expense of our VP Dick Cheney after accidentally shooting his lawyer friend while quail hunting.  I've been in the same situation and believe me it is not hard to do.  One false move by any of a variety of parties involved and a quick accident can occur.  But it is still funny, damn it!!!!   This from NewsMax.com ...

NBC’s Tonight Show host Jay Leno offered these gems:

"I guess the guy is going to be OK,” Leno said. "When the ambulance got there, out of force of habit they put Cheney on the stretcher … When people found out he shot a lawyer, his popularity is now at 92 percent.”

Comedy Central’s host of "The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart, placed this incident in its proper historical perspective, recognizing that Cheney was the first U.S. vice president to shoot someone since Aaron Burr, who shot Alexander Hamilton during a duel in 1804:

"Hamilton, of course, was shot in a duel with Aaron Burr over issues of honor, integrity and political maneuvering,” Stewart said. "Whittington? Mistaken for a bird.”

Top radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh put a political spin on the accident, offering his listeners a choice:

"Would you rather go hunting with Dick Cheney or riding in a car over a bridge with Ted Kennedy?” Limbaugh asked. "At least Cheney takes you to the hospital.”

Even politicians got in on the act, including some who are genuinely fond of the vice president.

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, brother to President George W. Bush, attended the Florida State Fair Governor’s Day Luncheon on Monday, and was given a promotional sticker to wear at the event.

Bush placed the bright orange sticker – the same color of a hunter’s vest - on his chest and quipped, "I’m a little concerned that Dick Cheney is going to walk in.”

Foreign newspapers also had a field day at the vice president’s expense. According to a report in The Seattle Times, two overseas headlines were most noteworthy.

The Herald in Scotland read, "Cheney Bags a Lawyer,” while the Sydney Morning Herald summarized with this headline, "Cheney Hunts Quail and the World Ducks.”

    'Twas the Night before Christmas and all thru the house,

    not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse ...

    A DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS POEM
 
    The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
    I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
    My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter
    beside me, angelic in rest.
 
    Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
    Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
    The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
    Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
    My eyelids were heavy, my breat
