Simple Man Politics

Welcome back to Simple Man Politics today my friends where we are celebrating the 101st day of the Obama administration. Well maybe not celebrating so much as marking the time already spent in the White House as well as his accomplishments. Well maybe not necessarily accomplishments, but actions which are many if not necessarily change we can believe in.

I must admit he has had one hell of a first 100 days in office though, and not without some difficulty has he managed to start pushing his agenda and getting those people he feels are necessary to implement his plans in place. Of course the change we can believe in has not come without some scandal and opposition, which has not come as a surprise to some of us who are watching his Presidency take shape.

Since Obamas first day in office he has started the ball rolling on closing up Guantanamo Bay. He has also gained control of the domestic auto and financial industries. He has weakened the defense department with cuts in spending on necessary programs to have a 21st century military. Not to mention the fact Obama is now on the brink of nationalizing healthcare and education.

He has managed to do all of this stuff to the American people while using up the funds from the first stimulus package created by President Bush, and passing yet another stimulus bill with an over all price tag of over 1 billion dollars. He as also gotten his omnibus spending bill or budget passed. Even after all the spending he has done he has promised to raise the national debt by 3.5 billion in his first 20 months in office and 10 trillion over all by the end of his first term.

Also within his first 100 days in office he has failed to fill all of his cabinet positions without scandal. Tax cheats seem to be his favorite choice for nominees and appointees with the occasional pay to play figure thrown in just to mix things up. I believe that there has definitely been some sort of transparency and it is transparently obvious that the change he has promised is big government ran by thugs and criminals he pushes own the tax payers throats with his party being firmly in control in both houses of congress.

It is truly amazing to me that with all of the chaos and damage he is wreaking upon our people, economy, defense, and trust that he has managed to maintain a personal approval rating above 60% while the rest of his party has suffered immensely from low approval ratings. Of course it all depends on whose polls you believe as to whether or not his personal approval is above 60%.

I got to tell you I personally can’t wait to see what this guy tries to pull in the next 100 days it is bound to be nothing if not scandal ridden and eventful. I have to tell you though that after his first 100 days in office I’m sure he won’t be able to surprise me any more. Of course now that I have said that he just might surprise my by doing something like appointing Reverend Jeremiah Wright as the White House Chaplain, but who knows for sure.

I will be back again tomorrow and I hope you all have an awesome day folks CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Here’s a HUMP DAY post for you my friends and it’s about Senator Arlen Specter (R-RINO = Republican In Name Only) who is trying to hump the Republican Party by joining the Democratic Party. However this does not come as to big of a surprise to me because he sides with the Democratic Party on most issues.

Arlen Specters move to switch parties is obviously an attempt to hold on to his Pennsylvania Senate seat because he doesn’t believe that he could win in a Republican primary election against another candidate from his own party.

He realized his seat wasn’t safe after he voted against card check and didn’t get the recognition he wanted. I guess he didn’t realize that supporting President Obama’s stimulus package and budget was that unpopular within the Republican Party.

It is also not that much of a surprise to me that the Democratic Party will welcome Arlen Specter to their ranks. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) has been trying to recruit Specter for more than five years as have other high ranking Democrat Party members such as Vice President Joe Biden.

The Dem’s want Specter more than ever now considering they hold 58 seats in the Senate and almost have a filibuster proof majority. Arlen Specters membership into the Democratic Party would give them 59 seats with Minnesota still undecided and Joe Biden’s vote would be their 60th vote allowing the Democrats to possibly avoid a filibuster.

Considering the fact that I am not Republican or Democrat I can personally say that I really don’t care if Arlen Specter jumps parties or not. Yes it will be a big loss to the GOP, but I think that the GOP is better of without him. Let’s face it the Republicans could never count on his vote anyway because they never knew where he would fall on one side of an issue or another.

As far as Arlen Specters political career is concerned I don’t really believe that he has one past the 2010 mid-term elections even as a Democrat. Both houses of congress have piss poor approval ratings particularly on the Democrat sides of both congressional houses and those ratings continue to slide down further. Even a poll taken today showed Obama’s approval ratings at an all time low.

The last thing I have to say about Arlen Specters jump to the Democratic Party and his mid-term election for his Senate seat next year is it’s a good thing because now a true conservative Republican Pat Toomey will win the GOP primary vote and go on to defeat Specter or any Democratic nominee in the general election.


That is the way I see this situation playing out let me know what you think. Have a wonderful Wednesday my friends and I will see you all tomorrow CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Today I am going to talk a little bit about the swine flu epidemic that started in Mexico and has been found both here in the US and on the European continent. As if drugs and violence are not enough now Mexico is exporting an extremely virulent strain of swine flu to the US as well as elsewhere around the world and it has the potential to become a pandemic.

Of course if you listen to the anti-illegal immigration people, the Mexican government, and some of our own on the political left including elected officials they will tell you that it is all Americas fault. I find this point of view to be extremely irresponsible because both the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the WHO (World Health Organization) have proven that Mexico City Mexico is where the epidemic began.

I personally feel very sorry for the Mexican people and I sympathize with them for having to suffer from this very nasty infectious disease. I it s extremely unfortunate because they are also having to endure a very bloody drug war as well, which I am certain is not making their lives any easier. When you add swine flu to that, life in Mexico just sucks right now.

I will admit that right now Mexico needs all the help it can get from the US and the international community to combat this serious health issue. However I don’t think that we can help them until we do everything within our power to make sure our citizens are safe first. This means closing our southern border both in and out of the US vigorously pursuing and deporting illegal immigrants who attempt to cross into the US from Mexico and clamping down on the criminal traffic trying to cross as well.

I know that sounds kind of cold hearted and I do not mean to be, but first things first. That means we take care of our own first then we do what we can to save the world. Lets face it folks if things get real bad here it will only be worse for our neighbors to the south, the UK, and the continent of Europe. With any luck our government won’t screw this situation up any more than it already is, but considering who has been making the decisions in the US for the last 100 days I don’t have a lot of faith in our government right now to get this right.

That is all for now but I will be back again tomorrow. Have a terrific Tuesday CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and welcome back to another installment of Simple Man Politics. Today’s topic is going to very interesting to you all especially if you happen to be parents. The topic for today is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is a threat to parental rights.

This UN convention is an attempt by the International community to gain some legal control of the US by having our country sign on and give control of our parental and children’s rights to UN, and circumventing the US legal system. Unfortunately this is not the UN’s first attempt to accomplish some sort of control over the US it is just the latest attempt. I am also sure it will not be the last either.

I first heard about this on a popular news program. The person speaking on the topic was the founder of parentalrights.org Michael Farris. He spoke at length about this UN convention and it’s potentially sinister agenda, and said that we need a Parental Rights Amendment using a Supreme Court decision in 1925 as the basis for his argument.

After I had read the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Supreme Court decision on Piece v. Society of Sisters I can only conclude that he is absolutely correct. There are two list you need to see, one is a list of 20 things you need to know about the structure of the CRC and the other is a list of 10 things you need to know about the substance of the CRC. Here are the lists in the order I mentioned them in straight from the website parentalrights.org.

Ten things you need to know about the structure of the CRC.
1. It is a treaty which creates binding rules of law. It is no mere statement of altruism.
2. Its effect would be binding on American families, courts, and policy-makers.
3. Children of other nations would not be impacted in any direct way by our ratification.
4. The CRC would automatically override almost all American laws on children and families because of our Supremacy Clause.
5. The CRC has some elements that are self-executing, while others would require implementing legislation. Federal courts would have the power to determine which provisions were self-executing.
6. The Courts would have the power to directly enforce the provisions that are self-executing.
7. Congress would have the power to directly legislate on all subjects necessary to comply with the treaty. This would constitute the most massive shift of power from the states to the federal government in American history.
8. A committee of 18 experts from other nations, sitting in Geneva, has the authority to issue official interpretations of the treaty which are entitled to binding weight in American courts and legislatures. This effectively transfers ultimate authority for all policies in this area to this foreign committee.
9. Under international law, the treaty overrides even our Constitution.
10. Reservations, declarations, or understandings intended to modify our duty to comply with this treaty will be void if they are determined to be inconsistent with the object and purpose of the treaty.

Ten things you need to know about the substance of the CRC.
1. Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their children.
2. A murderer aged 17 years, 11 months and 29 days at the time of his crime could no longer be sentenced to life in prison.
3. Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents would only have the authority to give their children advice about religion.
4. The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability to override every decision made by every parent if a government worker disagreed with the parent’s decision.
5. A child’s “right to be heard” would allow him (or her) to seek governmental review of every parental decision with which the child disagreed.
6. According to existing interpretation, it would be illegal for a nation to spend more on national defense than it does on children’s welfare.
7. Children would acquire a legally enforceable right to leisure.
8. Christian schools that refuse to teach "alternative worldviews" and teach that Christianity is the only true religion "fly in the face of article 29" of the treaty.
9. Allowing parents to opt their children out of sex education has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
10. Children would have the right to reproductive health information and services, including abortions, without parental knowledge or consent.

As a parent I am going to tell you that the last thing I want or need is some International politician or political body trying to tell me the best way to raise my children. If you look at most nations track records for maintaining law, order, and discipline with their younger generations or citizens they are not very successful, and I know I can do a much better job than 99.998% of anyone else on the planet because Poppi knows all and they are my kids.

The other problem that I have with this unveiled attempt by the UN to usurp our own authority on our own soil is that our nation’s laws are founded within our own US Constitution and Bill of Rights. I am of the belief that our laws need to be written by our own lawmakers and our Constitution strictly interpreted by the US Supreme Court, which fortunately for us has at least four Constitutionalist justices maybe even five. Unfortunately we may have a President who will sign this damned treaty.

There is definitely no good reason why we should be governed by an International body, which if I may remind them and you that without us most of them would either be speaking German or Japanese. As a result I don’t think that they are on an equal footing with us, but that may be the reason they are so hot to try to get this done, because they are not on an equal footing with us and as second class societies they never will be.

That is all I have for you today, but I am sure it is quite enough for now. I will be back again tomorrow my friends, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

There are a lot of people making a big deal over Barack Obama shaking hands with Hugo Chavez at the 2009 Summit of the Americas not once, not twice, but three times. Considering the fact that this summit is a political event attended by the leaders of the countries in the Americas the fact that Obama has shaken hands with Chavez is not in its self diplomatically surprising.

What surprises most people and the American right in particular is the fact that Obama continued to show courtesy to a leader that has continuously spouted hate and discontent filled rhetoric about our country and it’s former President George W, Bush almost as long as Bush sat in the Oval Office.

However it should come as no surprise to anyone that Barack Obama would extend every political courtesy to Hugo Chavez a self proclaimed socialist. Barack by every definition is what some would call a European style socialist similar to those who lead France. This is not surprising considering the fact that the European model until quite recently has been very popular amongst the residents of the European socialist nations on their continent.

The difference between Obama and Chavez is that Obama believes in government control of institutions like banking and manufacturing, while still having some privately owned businesses, stock markets, and financial markets. Chavez however believes in the complete nationalization of all assets within Venezuela. These examples are the only real differences between the two leaders.

With socialist movements well under way in many Central and South American nations it is only natural that they would support a push to place the world’s lone super power into the socialist’s nation’s category.

The proof that this move is acceptable to the Obama administration is his willingness to give both our enemies and those that subscribe to the dangerous ideology of socialism an equal seat at the table when it comes to forming our nation’s policies.

I will now tell you the two ways in which we can defeat this attempt by Obama to plunge us into a world of socialism and they are both very easy ways to accomplish the defeat of these socialist policies.

First scare the hell out of your elected Senators and Representatives by making it known that if they support Obama and these policies they are out of a job when they come up for re-election and the first chance for that is the mid-term elections in 2010. The second way is to vote Obama and his administration out of office in 2012.

That’s all I have to say for now and the rest is up to you. As for me I’m sure you can guess which way I’m going. Have a marvelous day my friends and I will be back again tomorrow, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Oh my God what else are they going to do to weaken our nation and its security? These idiots that were so blindly voted into office under the cover of change, nominated to positions of power under the banner of change, and appointed to positions of power under the mantle of change all have one thing in common they don’t know how to defend a nation let alone run one.

All they seem to want to do is to weaken our nation even further making us an easier target for attack sooner rather than never. The inside attacks against us run the gamut from the oval office and congress to the justice department and homeland security.

I can see our enemies readying themselves at our borders to attack and salivating at the possibility of sinking their teeth into the great bastion of democracy known as the United States and killing it. The thing that amazes me is that they have as allies our own government who are doing all that they can to assist them.

Obama is looking at ways to cut defense spending in order to pay for nationalized healthcare, education, and other social programs he supports. He just won an important battle in that arena by stopping the F-22 program, which would definitely make is the ultimate power in air superiority as well as employ 90,000 + people, now the project and the jobs are gone.

Eric Holder the US Attorney General is now investigating the possibility of prosecuting AG lawyers and those who had knowledge of enhanced interrogation techniques during the Bush administration. Obama had promised no prosecutions of these people would be pursued, which was of course a lie.

This is happening again all thanks to our President who released memos stating that these attorneys found the use of these techniques legal. This does not count the damage done from releasing these memos, which now gives our enemies a look at our game plan for extracting important information from uncooperative terrorists.

Obama is also going to close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility and attempt to bring these enemy combatants and terrorists to the continental United States. Further more he is going to have them tried in the US Federal Criminal Court System instead of by military tribunal.

All of this is dangerous to our citizenry because not only will they be within or national borders, but they will have Habeas Corpus rights and Geneva Convention protection when they are not even eligible for that protection because they are not members of a nationally recognized uniformed military.

Then there is of course our very own inept Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. She has absolutely no idea how to even defend our borders or where exactly the dangers on our borders really are.

She is so stupid that she actually compared the US/Canadian border with the US/Mexican border stating that we needed to defend our northern border even more aggressively because that is where the 9/11 highjacker’s came into the US. That has been proven to be false by the way and it was established that the 9/11 terrorists all entered the US directly from over seas.

Further more she stated that our multi billion dollar southern border barrier that stretches from California to Texas could halt the cross border drugs and violence that is spilling over into our country from Mexico. What damn border barrier is she talking about, because we haven’t even built one quarter of it yet?

At this point I am trying to decide whether or not to brush up on my Spanish, or learn Farsi, or perhaps just do both. One thing appears almost certain to me if we manage to survive four years of an Obama administration and Democrat control of both houses of congress.

Once there is a conservative majority back in control of both of those branches of government it will take at least a generation of our citizens to recover from the damage that will be inflicted upon us. However I hope that the mid term elections partially rectify some of this problem including the deposing of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd.

That is all I have to rant about for today my friends, but I will be back again tomorrow, have an awesome day and CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Cuba our wonderful tropical neighbor to the south has become a popular topic of conversation because of the US congressional visitors that they have recently hosted. It was the long awaited opening that Cuba has been waiting for to push for the end of the US trade embargo that has been over them for decades, and a chance at some more American dollars to prop up their communist regime through American tourism and Cuban family relations.

I think that if we get guarantees from the Cuban government that the income they gain from trade with the US and US tourists be used to improve the quality of life for its citizens that it might not be a bad idea at all to lift travel and trade restrictions with the little communist regime just 90 miles to south of our sovereign waters.

The question to ask at that point is would Cuba actually live up to those guarantees. I think one way to look at the Cuban government to see if we can trust them is to look at their history since Castro regime came into power in 1959.


1) Once Fidel Castro had successfully defeated President Fulgencio Batista and became Prime Minister he had most of those who had followed him faithfully either incarcerated or executed.
2) Most of those who supported President Batista during his Presidency and the revolution were incarcerated or executed as well.
3) After that he became First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and led the transformation of Cuba into a one party socialist republic.
4) There was of also the Cuban missile crisis, which ultimately forced a showdown between the US and USSR and prompted the removal of the soviet missiles.
5) The Mariel boatlift, which was meant to give law abiding good people an opportunity to come to the US was instead populated by with criminals by Castro and turned lose on our soil.
6) The Castro regime uses all foreign hard currency to support its military, security, and apparatchik apparatus while paying its citizens in worthless Cuban pesos.
7) Since Fidel Castro’s retirement in 2008 his brother Raul Castro ahs taken over the government and has the very same beliefs and aspirations for the little island nation that his brother had throughout his entire political career.

Now with that kind of information I can only assume that there would be little if any benefit to the citizens of a Castro Cuba than those benefits they already enjoy, if I can use the term enjoy in their case. It appears that the only group that would prosper under the lack of a trade embargo and tourism restrictions is the government of Cuba alone.

That is all I have for you guys today, but it is all true except my opinion, which is of course an educated opinion, I hope you all have a terrific day and I will be back again tomorrow, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I have to admit that I agree with President Obama and his administrations decision to boycott the UN Conference on Racism along with Germany, Australia, and Canada. However I do not think that we boycotted the conference for the reasons I think it was a good idea. Although I must say that in light of the opening remarks of the conference by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I think the end justifies the means.

While I may not be able to speak for the reasons why three other nations boycotted the conference I do believe that I may be able to give you all some insight into why the United States did boycott the racism conference. I believe that the reason our government chose not to attend the conference is because of our current policy to extend the hand of friendship to Iran and open up diplomatic dialog with the rogue nation.

I and some of my acquaintances who are very politically active and knowledgeable feel that this was a wise and strategic decision made by the Obama administration to avoid a confrontation with the Persian nation. If we had had representation at the conference then we would have had to directly condemn Ahmadinejads remarks, which were almost certain to be inflammatory, and that would have hampered the Obama administrations ability cozy up to the radically Islamic nation.

I fell it was the right choice for the US to boycott the UN Conference on Racism simply because they chose Iran to give the opening speech at the conference. There is absolutely no good reason whatsoever to give Iran and Ahmadinejad a platform from which to espouse his hate filled rhetoric and psycho ideology to the world and give them any credibility. There is absolutely no doubt that this move was made by Ban Ki-moon to appease the UN body many of whom are like minded with Iran.

I think it was obvious from the beginning that as soon as Ahmadinejad took the podium that he was going to rant and rave against Israel. He proved me right with statements such as calling Israel the “most cruel and repressive regime”, called the holocaust a “pretext” for aggression, and “they resorted to military aggression to make an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish suffering, they meaning the US and Europe.


At the first mention of Israel approximately forty diplomats left the conference room. There were also protesters there who accused Ahmadinejad and Iran of being racists and even threw red rubber clown noses at the Iranian president, which I personally found extremely funny. The clown disguises were in references to the two faces that Iran wears and what a joke the conference is. The only real tragedy of the UN Conference on Racism is that it and the travesty that marked it took place on the eve of Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day.

For the record I don’t think that we are done with trying to placate and approaching those rogue and criminal regimes in the world that seem to be Obama’s favorite audiences now-a-days. If it kills us Obama is going to drag us kicking and screaming into dangerous and alliances with those in the world who want to hurt us and even destroy us. When that happens and it will we will have yet another 9/11 to bemoan, but the difference will be that we willing invited the enemy inside the walls and it will really be our governments fault for our suffering.

That is all I have to rant about for today. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday my friends, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

There is a lot of things going on right now in the arena of politics that I could write about, which is as usual I expect, but today I am going to talk about a states right to secede from the union. As you all can imagine since Texas Governor Rick Perry made his little gaffe about the sovereignty of Texas, although he never actually advocated secession in his speech.

A states right to secede has been hotly debated ever since the War Between the States. Many northern news publications as well as residents in the north actually did advocate the southern states right to secede from the union, even though the government did not.

There is no law, constitutional amendment, or anything in the Bill of Rights that guarantees a states right to secede from the union of the United States of America including Texas.

Under the Texas agreement to join the union Texas was granted the right to split into four separate states if it wanted to at a later date, but did not have the right to secede. However Texas did secede in 1861, but the Yankee victory put an end to that secession.

What amazes me most about this whole Texas secession thing is not the fact that approximately 75% of Texans would wish to remain a state within the United States, but that approximately 31% of Texans would actually vote in favor of secession from the United States.

This amazing statistic makes me wonder what percentages of other states would vote for their states right to secede from the union also. It also makes me wonder what states would actually take that path to free itself from our current government and the damage it is doing to the fabric of our society.

I think that the states most likely to want or attempt to secede from the US would be states whose residents fell into certain categories I am going to list here. I also think these people would show a clearly definitive difference between their own ideology and the prevailing ideology that is currently infecting our government. The beliefs listed will be the very same ones that DHS has assessed belong to right wing extremists and potential terrorists.

1) Conservative
2) Low taxes
3) Small government
4) Pro life
5) Pro gun rights
6) Anti illegal immigration
7) Pro death penalty
8) Pro constitution
9) Pro democracy

Now I will tell you that I personally do not think the secession of any state from the United States is a very good idea. I that I personally subscribe to all of those beliefs shown above, but I also know that united we stand divided we fall.

I only hope that my personal belief in the unity of the United States is the right one, because I am not willing to spill the blood of another American simply because of the ineptitude and idiocy of ideology that the current reigning political party subscribes to.

That is all I have to say for today and I hope you all have an awesome day. I will be back again tomorrow, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I’m here to tell ya Thank God its Friday. I am going to take the weekend off from politics and just kick it on the home front. I am so tired of having nothing better to do than disproving the far lefts continual lying on every subject they open their hate filled ignorant mouths about.

I’m just going to run down a short list of some of these lies and deceits that they are becoming famous for, and politicians aren’t the only ones I’m going to mention here today the liberal drive by media gets a spot in this blog today too.

Obama is first on the list, but there are so many things he has lied about that I don’t know where to begin. I know a lie he just retold after the theory was thoroughly debunked and that is the lie that most weapons being used in the drug war in Mexico are from the US. The ATF just proved that to be wrong and Obama goes down to Mexico and tells it again.

I hate this one to it says that the EPA is going to take steps to regulate climate change. Climate change and Global Warming is the greatest lie of the 20th and 21st centuries. The climate is changing all the time, whether it is warming or cooling. These things always come in cycles it has been proven so what are you going to do regulate Mother Nature.

Here is one of my favorite targets the great liar Janet Napolitano who is the former Governor of the state of Arizona and now heads up the HDS. She had the unmitigated gall to actually release an “Intelligence Assessment” that says our returning veterans are potential terrorists ripe for recruitment by radical right wing extremists groups. Activists on the left are far more violent and terrorist like than those who just took part in the Tax Day Tea Parties.

Eric Holder the new AG of the US went to West Point Military Academy and promptly attacked former President George W, Bush in a speech. The problem was that the speech was filled with lies that had already been disproven and not only by those on the right, but those on the left as well.

I hate the liberal left media and their bias towards the conservative movement. The Tax Day Tea Parties were a success, there was no violence and only one arrest and that was not related to these protests. Yet media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, NBC and so on attempted to portray those attending the parties as nothing more than radical activists who cling to their god and their guns and would you believe even their constitutional rights, but that is true.

Former NYPD Chief Bernard Keric actually was surprised that this was the first protest that he had ever seen where people brought their families. He and many others who have experience in dealing with protests that these Tea Parties were the perfect example of what peaceful protests should look like.

The last person I am going to take a shot at today is our very own Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. This is the woman who travels the world denouncing our nation as at fault for everything bad that has ever happened. She along with Obama actually is encouraged by the overtures they have received from other socialist and communist nations. The Obama administration actually feels that our citizens are more of a danger to the country than dictators like Castro, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il. They have apparently forgotten the histories of these despots.

I hope you all have a great Friday and an awesome weekend CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Here is some not so good news for those of us you enjoy using the internet without limits 24/7/365 and the news is that that right could all go away. That’s right my friends the current government is seeking the right to pull the plug on the internet you pay for at anytime with almost no justification.

There was a Senate Bill proposed only a short time ago that would allow the US government to shut down the internet during a declared emergency. This little noticed but serious Senate Bill was introduced by Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) would give the federal government unprecedented power with regard to the internet.

The Cyber Security Act of 2009 as it is known would federalize what is termed as critical infrastructure security like banks, telecommunications, and energy, which are currently in the hands of the private sector. This bill would shift the power that users and companies have to the US government.

This legislation also calls for a cyber security czar to be appointed. This person would have the unprecedented authority to shut down computer networks, which includes private networks as well if there is a cyber attack currently taking place at the time he/she decides to close these networks.

One of the provisions that are being proposed in this bill is to give the President the total authority without checks and balances to shut down internet traffic if he perceives there is an emergency. It would also allow him to disconnect critical infrastructure systems, simply by stating he is doing this because of national security. This bill will obviously go too far towards circumventing our civil rights.

This bill also contains a very dangerous provision that would decimate privacy and security in one shot and here it is.

“The Secretary of Commerce— shall have access to all relevant data concerning (critical infrastructure) networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access…”

This provision basically states that the Commerce Department would have absolute and non-emergency access to “all relevant data” without the safeguards of standards or judicial review. The bill could even circumvent things like the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Privacy Protection Act, and financial privacy regulations.

In essence this would give the US government and the Secretary of Commerce in particular access to all of your private communications, medical information, and financial information with out your authorization. This could mean that your ISP may have to provide the government with unfettered access to their systems with possibly with something like its own backdoor.

Now I can’t presume to speak for the rest of you, but this bill pisses me off. If you leave a back door into your system for the government there would be others attempting to take advantage of that back door as well and they won’t be the good guys either. Besides which there is always some sort of cyber attack happening these days so what, do we lose our internet as soon as the bill is passed?

I would highly recommend to those of you out there who are not zombies to contact your senators and congresspersons and tell them that if they value their seats in congress they will not vote to pass this legislative power grab crap known as “The Cyber Security Act of 2009”.

That is my rant for today and I hope you all get stirred up by this one. Have a great day my friends and CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Tea Parties are a great idea, but these are not the tea parties you grandma and grandpa used to attend. There will be no tea and crumpets, or cakes, or cookies, there will only be teabags and lots of Americans who are mad as hell.

The people you will meet at these tea parties going on today will not be the refined high society types, at least they won’t be the only ones there, because people from all walks of life will be there protesting taxation without representation and a government to big to function efficiently.

Public protest has always been a tool in any activist’s arsenal and that is just what the Tax Day Tea Party is all about. It is a way for those people who are angry at what our government is doing to peacefully protest the government’s actions in a public forum.

Liberal activist groups are especially good at employing the public protest weapon when they feel the need. Groups like ACORN, NAACP, Code Pink, and PETA use it on a regular basis. Unfortunately their protests do not always end peacefully, so public protest has a fear factor attached to it.

The result of this fear factor being used as a weapon of sorts by our government against the citizenry of this country is the purely false report the DHS under Janet Napolitano had compiled when she found out about the Tea Party protests going on in dozens of cities and its subsequent release just one week before the Tea Parties start on Tax Day, which is today.

In this DHS report or intelligence assessment as they call it there were some things in it that have not set well with some congressmen, senators, and citizens. The report said that there is a threat of right wing extremism. This report also characterized veterans who have returned from the fighting overseas as right wing extremists. The report went even further by saying that these veterans were potential terrorists and susceptible to extremist recruiters.

This report was written for no other reason other than to give the very socialist, far left, radical Democratic Party that currently controls two thirds of our government a means to combat the truth. Unfortunately they are combating the truth with lies, by using lies to generate fear. However the truth will always win out and as a result it is they who are fearful and worrying about losing the power that they won on November 4th, 2008.

Unfortunately for us the people they are bilking out of trillions of dollars, and are forcing to accept big government, as well as the unnecessary entitlements. It is a sad truth that we can’t do anything about these left wing extremists who are in power until the 2010 midterm elections when they can be voted out of power.

Well my friends the Phoenix Tea Party is due to start in just a short bit. I hope you all have a great day and that you have the opportunity to attend one of these tea parties. I will be back again tomorrow CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Yayyyyyyyyyyy it’s over…..NOT!!!!! Finally after months of court battles, recounting absentee ballots, recounting bad ballots, as well as recounting all of the ballots Al Franken has finally been named the winner of the Minnesota Senate race that has been going on since November 4th, 2008.

Not so fast though, incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman is ready to challenge this latest decision that attempts to place another Democrat in the Senate. Personally I like Norm Coleman, because he seems to be a very straight forward and stand up guy. I also think he should be the sitting Senator because he won the original Senate race for his seat on the night of November 4th.

I will be totally honest here to I really do despise Democratic challenger Al Franken, and the list of reasons is long, but here are a few of them for you to ponder. First off Franken is one of those way far out to the left loons that touts every insane unproven lie that is on the socialist Democrat agenda like Global Warming.

His also a failed radio personality for the failed liberal radio organization known as Air America. This media outlet was so bad that they never even had any audience of any kind, because they had no credibility. That is not a surprise though considering they had radio personalities like Al Franken and Janeane Garafalo. The only thing that ever sustained this mess of a media outlet was the millions of dollars that billionaire George Soros kept dumping into it.

Last but not least Al Franken is the least funniest and failed comedian/actor on the planet. I cannot think of one thing he has done in his comedic or acting career that was ever worth remembering. The only thing that has ever even been remotely successful for the guy at least financially was a couple of tripe filled books that he wrote, and of course only the far left dummies bought those. My God this guy is such a weenie.

However I think that enough is enough, and it is about time to put this debacle known as a senate race to bed once and for all. If Norm Coleman loses this court challenge he should step away and run against Franken in the next senate election in 2012. After Franken proves to the constituents in his district that he is such a BOOB Coleman will be a shoo in.

Well ya’ll that’s my rant for today, but I will be back again tomorrow CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I swear to God that this is the last time I am going to write about this whole Somalian pirate crud, but I am going to write about it today for two reasons. One of those reasons is to set the record straight, and the other is to recommend a course of action in order to deal with this scum.

First off let’s give credit where credit is due. Yes Obama gets the credit for ordering the takedown of the pirates holding Captain Phillips and his subsequent rescue as well. It is common knowledge that virtually all Seal Operations are authorized by the President, because they are his go to guys for the dirty work and they are damn good at it to.

Now while Obama may have authorized the operation the credit for the operation goes to the planners who put it together, and the operators who executed the plan. No President sits in on the play by play details of putting a plan together. Obama probably had no idea what assets the commander in the field would use be they Seals or Marines and what their equipment might be.

Now on to the course of action I think should be taken in order to deal with this ocean going scum. Right off the bat I would say that we have to have our US flagged merchant marine vessels armed well enough to sink these idiots and kill them. I also believe that our Naval and Marine forces should have a heavy presence in the pirate’s area of operations so they can hit them at every opportunity.

The reason I believe that we should have a strong military presence there is that the pirates have already expressed that they will kill anyone on board a ship under the American Flag. The stated that there would be retaliation for the killing of the three pirates involved in the attempted Maersk Alabama highjacking.

As of this morning there had already been a retaliatory strike against an American congressman by the name of Donald Payne (D) who was leaving Mogadishu. A group of Islamist insurgents fired mortars at the airport as the congressman’s plane was departing for Nairobi Kenya.

The House Sergeant at Arms office confirmed that the State Department reported the attempted attack to them and that the congressman was fine. They also reported that they believe that the attack on the congressman’s aircraft was in retaliation for the deaths of the Somali pirates holding Captain Phillips and his rescue.

Since it is clear that we will be withdrawing US combat forces from Iraq at a steady rate pretty soon I think some of those assets should be brought to bear on those that would threaten our shipping interests and the personnel engaging in sea-going commerce under a US Flag. I really hope for our sake that President Obama passes this test with flying colors. I also hope that he sends them the message that our colors don’t run, never have and never will.

That’s it for today my friends I will be back tomorrow and hopefully earlier than this. Have a good evening and CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I must say that I have to possibly correct a statement that I made for this past Fridays blog post. It appears that the policy of appeasement does not extend to our dealings with piracy and those who traffic in it. In our current socio-political state I find this to be a little bit of encouragement.

It appears that earlier this Easter morning in a short but bloody firefight with members of our armed forces three of the Somali pirates holding Captain Richard Phillips were killed and the Skipper rescued. I am sure that this is good news to the Phillips family.

I wish a Happy Easter to Captain Phillips, his family, and of course to all of you. Have an awesome Easter Sunday and God bless all of you, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

This is what day three of the standoff between the US Navy and four Somali pirates with one hostage in a lifeboat that is out of gas? It seems absurd that we would even be attempting to negotiate with rabble like these pirates, but here we are doing just that. I think that this sends the wrong signal to those who might attempt this sort of crime against us for more sinister purposes.

Now I will tell you that while this situation is not in itself political the policy that the navy is following most certainly is political. The policy that the navy is operating under is political, because the navy gets it orders through a chain of command and at the top of the chain is the Commander in Chief.

Recent Presidential history has shown that Barak Obama practices the policy of appeasement. Appeasing any groups that have hostile intentions against us, whether they are Al Qaeda or Somali pirates is the wrong message to convey. Appeasement is a sign to people like these that you are weak and unwilling to defend yourself and therefore you will be a target for these groups again in the future.

Recent news reports have indicated that a US navy amphibious warship is currently steaming into the area. This is good news if the Commander in Chief is willing to use the marine force on board to free the Hostage Captain Richard Phillips and to capture or kill the pirates; otherwise it is just a poor show of force and will be ineffective.

Recent reports also show that several high jacked vessels, hostages, and pirates are also headed to the area to confront the navy and to heighten the tension that is already palpable in the standoff. It has also been reported that a negotiator for the Somalis have said that they want 2 million dollars ransom for Captain Phillips or they will kill him.

I think that we are going to allow this whole situation to get out of hand and I don’t understand why. We didn’t let the Barbary pirates get away with messing with our merchant shipping interests in the 19th century, we just sent in the marines and the problem was settled short, sweet, and bloody for the pirates.

I think we should do the same thing here, because the bullets we use on the four Somali pirates will cost less than 2 million dollars and will send the message that this sort of monkey business involving our shipping interests will not be tolerated any where in the world. The last thing these animals will understand is appeasement, but they understand violent action quite well, and just like any other bully if you bloody their noses they will run away crying back to their hideout.

However I must unfortunately tell you that I think this situation will continue to deteriorate in the pirates favor. The reason I believe this is as soon as the other high jacked vessels with their hostages arrive, it ceases to be just about our interests or concerns and becomes a multi-national concern. This will not be good for us, because other nations will want to negotiate with the pirates rather than use force, and our military superiority will be circumvented.

That is all I have to say on this subject right now and for the record I really hope I am wrong about how this looks likely to play out. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be and it has been proven in the past to me on matters such as this that I am rarely ever wrong. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, T.G.I.F. CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Before I get started with today’s blog post I want to send out a big WAY TO GO to the crew of the Maersk Alabama a US flagged cargo ship carrying aid supplies to Kenya. After being boarded by Somali pirates the American crew managed to repel the boarders even though they were unarmed and retake control of the vessel.

Unfortunately the captain of the ship was taken away by the pirates as a prisoner. The captain and his family are in our prayers for a safe return today. I fervently hope that our President and the US navy and marine personnel now in the area go get our skipper back and put an end to all of this Somali Piracy B.S. now on to the business at hand.

This blog is about our brothers-in-arms across the big spit there in the UK and their own anti terror efforts. First off make no mistake these guys are very good at dealing with terrorists, having had somewhat of a problem with them in Ireland for the last couple of centuries. While I don’t necessarily agree with British policies in Ireland I can admire and respect the talents of their counter terror units.

We are not the only nation in the western hemisphere to have felt the sting of being attacked on our own soil, and having our people murdered by Islamic radicals. Both Spain and the United Kingdom have suffered the attacks of these Islamo-fascist cowards also. However the UK has seemed better equipped than the Spaniards to deal with radical Islamists, and the UK didn’t run away from the fight in the Middle East.

The men of these often unseen and rarely ever heard of counter terror teams in the UK have been responsible for actually being our first line of defense against Islamic terrorists by bearing the brunt of their cowardly and rabid attacks against civilized society on UK soil. Yet with bulldog determination the Brits keep pushing back and fighting harder against those animals sending them to their promised 70 virgins as if it was a holy command to do so.

Yesterday they managed to round up another 12 suspects of Pakistani descent in raids in the cities of Manchester, Liverpool, and the surrounding areas. The suspects ranged in age from a teenager to a 41 year old man and were arrested under the Terrorism Act in the UK. However the police could not release many details about the alleged plot because the operation is still ongoing.

Can you believe that with the service and piece of mind their efforts give our nation, that our President would insult them by returning the bust of Winston Churchill? Not only that but give a cheap collection DVDs in exchange for a priceless Pen holder made from the remains of the HMS President, a 19th century British warship. Let us not forget the IPOD that Michelle Obama gave the queen, as if she really needed it or didn’t have one of her own.

I’m here to tell you that it is about time President Obama figured out who his real allies are, and stop catering to all of the despotic dictators and Middle Eastern radicals that he is so fond of. As he is also so fond of pointing out our standing around the world is not good, so maybe we should hold on to and cherish the few real friends that we still have out there. I would say that the United Kingdom is a good place to start remembering who our great allies are.

That’s all I have for you today my Friends but I will be back for the T.G.I.F. post. Have a grand Thursday and CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Once again we are going to discuss that lie that is Global Warming and the lie that it is all mans fault. We are also going to discuss the difference between President Obama’s policies and former President George Bush’s policies. After this I think we will find out that not all is as the media wishes it to appear.

Global Warming:
I will concede that there is such a thing as global warming, that it is real, and that it does happen. However I will also tell you that global cooling also exists and occurs all the time. These things are both true and have been proven scientifically over the years.

Is global warming a bad thing for the planet? I think it can be if the world warms up to much and to fast. I would also tell you that the same is true if the planet were to cool down to much or to fast also.

However I don’t think that anything that is happening globally with the climate is heading us down to the path of destruction. Mother Nature for want of a better term has a way of controlling her temperature in order to repair damage that has occurred to the planet.

Warming and cooling are two of the ways she does this. These things happen in cycles as science has proven by researching things like core samples and the polar ice caps. Scientists and other experts who are monitoring the planetary climate since the early 50’s and 60’s have also proven the cyclical theory to be true.

The Human Effect on Climate Change and Global Warming:
Yes it is true that the activities of mankind do have its affects planetary climate change. What is not true is that man is solely responsible for global warming and climate change. As a matter of fact scientists have proven that mans effect on climate change are not all that significant.

One example is the idea that man is solely responsible for greenhouse gas emissions and damage to the ozone layer. Yes it is true that man has some effect on green house gases, but then again so does every other living organism on the planet.

If you look at the damage to the ozone layer you will find that the bulk of the damage is over the largest greenhouse on the planet, which is the Amazon Rainforest. There is hardly any human population in the region, so how can man be responsible for that damage? It really makes you think about the term greenhouse gases.

Obama Climate Policies:
President Obama says that the Bush Administration climate policy was the wrong one and his policy is the right one. He has outlined many objectives he feels are needed to achieve his policy goals.

One of these objectives is to automakers achieve the manufacturing of autos that average 35 miles per gallon by 2020. With current technology this should be attained well before 2020. Another is to lessen our dependency on oil period not just Middle Eastern oil, but our own domestic resources also.

He has also expressed a willingness to explore things like wind and solar energy, but seems to have a big thumbs down for nuclear and clean coal technology even going so far as to say at one point that there is no such thing as clean coal technology. He is also looking at ways to green up government buildings as well as current industrial complexes.

Bush Climate Policies:
Bush policy on climate control and greenhouse emissions have been evaluated by many experts and found his policies to be quite serious. President Bush was the first President to propose regulating CO2 emissions by utility companies, and was in favor of regulating other pollutants by utilities such as sulphur, nitrogen, and mercury as well.

President Bush also favored the Kyoto Protocol, but didn’t support it. The Kyoto Protocol found resistance in both houses of congress and especially with the Senate who voted 95 to 5 against ratifying the KP. This was due to the fact that the two largest growing economies China and India refused to comply with the KP.

Negotiations also broke down over KP at The Hague when the US and European Union negotiators were unable to bridge the divide that separated them. The main gap between the two negotiating bodies seemed to be the fact the US was talking about serious reductions while their EU counterparts were just practicing appeasement.

The Bush 43 administration was also for exploring, extracting, and refining our own domestic petroleum resources to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. The Bush administration cited current safety protocols for domestic oil production and scientific research showing that more oil went into the oceans as a natural occurrence known as seepage than by drilling.

Conclusion:
In conclusion I think science has proven that there is really no catastrophic global threat waiting to occur. Science has also further proven that mankind is not solely or even mostly responsible for Global Warming, climate change, or greenhouse emissions.

Evidence has also discounted the notion that the Bush administration had no serious climate policies. There is also no credible scientific evidence that the Obama policies would achieve any more than his predecessors policies have.

There it all is for you to read in a nutshell. I hope that you have found this post to be both informative and fascinating, because the research for this post certainly had all of my attention. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Wow so many screw ups and not enough hours in the day to accurately document them all. I must say that I am thankful to my President for one thing; he keeps me in subject matter to blog about, and there is so much to blog about to. I could blog about things like climate change or healthcare.

However today we are going to discuss our national defense, its budget, and the impact it will have on the US workforce and the economy. The reason for me going this route is that this will affect our country in more than one area. It also appears that most of these areas will suffer negatively if these policies are implemented.

National Defense:
In my opinion national defense is a very high priority to the United States in order to maintain our national sovereignty. Former President George Bush was a hawk on defense spending, realizing that in order for us to maintain our security and power around the world, we needed the latest in cutting edge technology to remain the lone super power in the globally.

Now we have an administration and congress that seems willing to give up our national security in order to pay for things like nationalized healthcare and global warming. One of these programs is financially impossible and the other one is an outright lie. I think we all know which I think is which.

Today Secretary of Defense Robert Gates proposed broad cuts in defense spending sparking debate and anger throughout both houses of congress. One of the most important examples of defense spending cuts that Gates broached was the F-22 Fighter program, which was designed to take the place of the F-16 program and some of the F-18 program as well.

The F-22 program is important because it replaces a fighter fleet that is nearly 20yrs old. The F-22 program was instituted under the Bush administration. The aircraft applies many of those cutting edge technologies that are necessary to maintain air superiority around the world. The loss of the F-22 program will seriously degrade our defensive and offensive capabilities during military operations.

Defense Budget:
The reason for making cuts to the defense budget involving new weapons programs such as the F-22 program and missile defense, which is another program on the chopping block is really quite simple. The administration and congress need to make these cuts to the defense budget in order to come up with the money to pay for social programs such as nationalized healthcare.

US Workforce and Economy:
The impact on our workforce if these programs are cut will be catastrophic. Cutting the F-22 program by itself will cost the US approximately 90,000 jobs. You can estimate job loss in the arena of missile defense at more than twice that number. There will also be massive job losses to peripheral businesses such as vendors and suppliers of materials that were required to sustain these tow programs alone. These are not the only defense program cuts on the chopping block either.

The impact on the economy especially with regard to the states that house defense manufacturing facilities will lose billions and perhaps even trillions of dollars in revenue and that is in the short term not just long term. You think unemployment is out of control, you just wait till these cuts happen. I can see unemployment up to at least 10% if this happens and that is a conservative estimate on my part.

That is all I have for you all right now, but I am sure there will be plenty to talk about tomorrow. Have a terrific evening my friends, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Hmmmm lets see, how should I start today. First let me say that I am sorry for not doing a blog post on Friday, but I have to pay the bills before I can spread the truth here. Another reason is that Joy who has written for me here before had somewhat of a personal crisis to deal with and required my support.

You see Joy grew up with the Mayhle’s. Stephen Mayhle is one of the Pittsburgh police officers who were brutally gunned down last Friday in the Stanton Heights section of the city, while responding to a domestic disturbance call in the early hours of the morning.

However now it is time for some more Simple Man Politics. Today we are going to talk a little about Obama’s trip to the G20 summit and NATO meetings. To say the least I found his trip to be highly anti-climactic to say the least. It appears that our super star President was not as well received as he would have liked.

First off with regard to his attendance of the G20 summit I found him to be remarkably apologetic about the United States being responsible for the current global economic crisis that has affected the world markets. However he was right that we own some of the responsibility, but he was wrong about who exactly was responsible.

Obama claimed that he inherited this bad economy from his predecessor George W, Bush’s administration and that is true. What he fails to tell anyone is that while it occurred during the Bush administration it is in fact a legacy he inherited from his own party who controlled both houses of congress.

The two men most responsible for the economic meltdown are Senator Chris Dodd and Representative Barney Frank. These two men were responsible for overseeing our financial institutions including Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae. When they were told by several different people that these two companies were in trouble they loudly denounced those who warned them and said that Freddy and Fanny were fine.

Of course Obama also laid the growing deficit at George Bush’s feet as well while conveniently forgetting the fact that with his second bailout, stimulus bill, and budget he plans on growing our national debt to over 4.7 Trillion Dollars this year with a Trillion Dollars added every year for the next ten years. He is accomplishing this with the aid of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid the senate and house leaders.

My favorite part of Obama’s trip had to be his stop in Turkey though. I will admit that this nation is an important ally to the US in the WAR ON TERROR. We use their bases for resupply operations as well as a way into and out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

What I don’t understand is his statement to the Turkish people that we are not at war with Islam. I would think that it is obvious that we are not at war with Islam. However we are at war with Islamo-Fascism. Islamo-Fascism is the ideology that is spouted out from groups like Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad.

I was also not surprised at the reception that Obama has received in some of the countries that he visited. While most of the European socialist governments love him it is quite clear that a lot of the people do not. Of course the governments there love him, because he wants the same sort of government that hasn’t worked for them in the last century. The ordinary people seemed to know that he was a B.S. artist almost instinctively.

I have one more thing to say before I go today, and that is on the subject of Nuclear disarmament. Obama clearly believes in total nuclear disarmament, but does he really think that he can get these rogue countries that are pursuing this technology to put it down once they get these weapons. I doubt that Iran or North Korea would be willing to do so.

The world’s deterrence to a nuclear war is the fact that we possess nukes, and the deterrence in the Middle East is the fact that Israel possesses nukes. Unfortunately that is why nations like Iran are pursuing nuclear weapons programs so that they can attack Israel.

The truth of the matter is that whether we like it or not Obama is our President for the next four years. It is unfortunate for us however that he is against his own country and all for being popular in the world before being safe. This is true both economically and strategically. I only hope that our enemies are not any emboldened to attack us now than they were before his overseas trip.

Have an awesome day my friends and I will be back again real soon, although it may not be before Wednesday, but you never know, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Hey ya’ll I’m back from my personal effort to bail out one of the Big three automakers and I have to tell you I was successful in my efforts to do my part. However now it is time to get down to what this blog is all about and that is political news reporting, and do I have a story for you today.

The current administration had reported that over 90% of all guns confiscated in the war between Mexico and the cartels originated in the US. However, it has since been discovered that this figure is not accurate according to ATF (Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms) and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) sources.

The actual truth of the matter is that the percentage of weapons traced to the US that are recovered in Mexico is only 17% of the total number of guns that reach Mexico. This is evidenced by the fact that a large number of weapons down there do not get sent to the US for tracing by the Mexican government because they are obviously not American weapons. It is true though that 90% of the traced weapons sent to the US for tracing are US weapons.

American weapons have serial numbers and manufacturer names that enable these weapons to be traced and those are the ones returned to the US for tracing. Weapons that do not have serial numbers or manufacturer names are not sent here to the US because those are not US weapons and may come from the black market or other nations in Central and South America.

The reason that this false information is so important at this time is because of its intent. The Obama administration had Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as US Attorney General Eric Holder present this information publicly in Mexico and here in the United States in an effort to set the stage for possible tighter gun control legislation.

This would be accomplished by convincing legislators and the general public that we are responsible for the violence in Mexico because we cannot control the flow of weapons between the US and Mexico. It seems however that this is also not the case has been supported by some sources in the Mexican government as well.

Although I agree that we are somewhat responsible for some of the trouble south of the border I also know that we are not responsible for all of it. I also know that this is just another lame attempt by our democratically controlled government to strip away our 2nd amendment rights.

That I all I have for today my friends. I hope you all have a great day and I will be back again tomorrow for the T.G.I.F. post, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
