Sometimes, keeping your mouth shut, or at least not saying something is the best choice. Stop making the situation worse, by escalating the situation. Best if you don’t put the other party in a defensive position, especially when you really don’t know all the facts.

I’m not talking about the Gates debacle, Mr Obama, I am referring to your remarks on it.

I find it interesting (and saddening) that you sided with Mr Gates, even when he has so many witnesses indicating that he was in the wrong (even (gasp,) black police officers AT THE SCENE).

Makes me wonder if you can ever be non racial in your dealings with the rest of us. Or will you always be a “black candidate” in your thinking? Will you ever not see color?

Have told me that they don’t like you….

That is all.

This is an excellent post about the “CULT OF OBAMA”

Goes with this post from a while ago…

Someday soon (we can hope) people are gonna wake up and realize that he ain’t the 2nd coming and all that (plus a bag of nuts)….But what are they gonna do then?

Others have ideas on how to vent their frustrations. with their elected “representatives” Perhaps their ways are better than mine (but I think that mine would be more effective).

But then again, I am often too hasty in my violence…..

*Update:

Bill failed passage by 2 votes….2 Republican senators voted against. Lugar (IN) and Voinovich (Ohio)..

Perhaps the constituents of these men should consider making their displeasure known……

Lampposts and rope are a good way to demonstrate this..***

So Sen. John Thune has a great deal of support for his bill to allow CCW permit holders to carry across state lines.

“Offered Monday as an amendment to the defense authorization bill, it would allow people to carry concealed firearms across state lines, provided they “have a valid permit or if, under their state of residence . . . are entitled to do so.” “.

Of course, most big city mayors have opposed this measure.

Chuck Schumer opposes this as well, and, of course, has vowed to filibuster it.

“Clearly, large, urban areas merit a different standard than rural areas,” he said. “To gut the ability of local police and sheriffs to determine who should be able to carry a concealed weapon makes no sense. It could reverse the dramatic success we’ve had in reducing crime in most all parts of America.”

Pay no mind to the fact that gun crime, and crime in general, are highest where draconian gun laws are in effect. And, of course, the statement shows that some government officials believe that there are significant differences in the needs of rural areas vs urban areas. Wonder if they will keep that in mind in further legislation of all kinds that affect us all.

I also wonder what the makeup of the urban areas (supported by many government programs (“entitlements”)) regarding race and culture has to do with the above belief?

Does this mean that the 10th amendment is valid? States rights trump?

You can’t have it both ways…..Unless, of course, you are a senator.

But I digress from the point….

The best part is that the middle of the road Democrats are considering the bill, and may well vote for it.

Divisions in the partisan politics is a GOOD thing, no matter which side of the aisle you are on.

Remember: When seconds count, the police are only minutes away……

THIS shows that the senators ARE beginning to fear…

Perhaps it will become a trend.

…the trouble with democracy is that we get the government they deserve.

Along with the below post is THIS, discussing the outbreak of swine flu in Argentina. I have no way of verifying his reports, but Ferfal has been consistent in his reports, and he has blogged about Argentina for several years. Several people I know, know him.

His basic theme here in the linked post: Prepare NOW, before you need it.

I have my severe outbreak kit already made, do you?

For a while shortly after the announcement of the swine flu thing, there was ZERO hand sanitizer or face masks to be found in my area. And this was in the US, in the Midwest….. No one stocks the quantities needed when the whole country wants masks and hand sanitizer.
