Via Peter, we find even more Banana Republic stuff.

Jesus, I wonder if the rest of us conservative gun bloggers have to fear an IRS audit? Or anyone else who disagrees with Barry and is bold enough to speak out?

Of course, these might be just the IRS doing it’s job…randomly….like it is supposed to. Sure….that must be it. Like the targeting of the conservative non-profit groups. Yeah.

This is, truly an embarrassment as well as a travesty. I am embarrassed that this sort of thing is done  by our president (or his administration) so blatantly. And It is a travesty that the rest of the Government has not got the balls to put a stop to it. This IS like what I was told the Bananna republics were like in the ’70’s. 

Obama voters*

at work:

A 76-year-old woman killed in a shootout was targeted because of large sums of money she carried in connection to a business she worked at, the Anderson County sheriff says.

Targeted an old lady for the money she carried home (several thousand dollars, apparently).

Big failure in the victim selection process. Not all 76 year old ladies are meek. Some are armed.

BTW, why aren’t the perpetrators being charged with racial violence? Black on white crime doesn’t count? Only when it is a white man killing a black teenager?
 **Can we expect JJ and “Rev” Sharpton to speak out against this soon?

*(now we don’t KNOW that they are Obama voters….but I’ll give you 10-1 odds that they are….if they even (actually)voted)
**(I’ll give you the same odds that they won’t say anything at all)

This should frighten you

It is starting to be shown all over the internet.

32 privacy destroying technologies that are systematically transforming America into a giant prison.

 And you all thought I was just paranoid…especially about your cell hone being a spying tool. Add the phone to the rest of these technologies and you realize that you have very little privacy, should anyone care.



Big Brother is real….and growing bigger and stronger…His eyes and tentacles are ever reaching. 



 

Funshow today

Went to a Gunshow yesterday…..and I actually walked out without spending a dime.

MC, on the other hand, spend way too much on some knives she had ordered from one of the vendors. (which was the reason we went).

Ran into some friends, and “wasted” the whole rest of the day there and in surrounding areas. Food and drinks and conversation and such.

High point of the day? Meeting one of my students from last week, gun shopping with her husband. Got introduced and thanked again, by both of them.

Was a good , if not terribly productive day. Relaxing. Today’s gonna be a bitch catching up though.

OK, so i’m not the only one:

Forbes sees the danger as well…(read BOTH pages).

We are were a nation of laws. If Barry Obama can ignore and set aside laws which he finds distasteful or inconvenient, can you and I not do the same? Can id decide which laws are valid and which are not based on my agreement with them?

This is a usurpation of power…Where will it ultimately lead? If he can get away with usurping the Constitutional powers reserved to the House and Senate, can he then go farther, having set a precedent, and refuse to step down at the end of his second term? (I realize that this is unlikely, but if can do one, then he can do the other).

If the Constitution is no barrier or obstacle to, or limitation upon, any single man’s power, what is? What limits are there? Can he then restrict voting? Prevent elections? Set aside vote counts? incarcerate those who disagree with him just because he wishes to even though they have broken no laws?

The Constitution is all that stands between us and the tyranny we see happening in other counties, both third and first world. ANY erosion of that bulwark is dangerous and precedent setting.

Enough is enough. This must stop. Immediately. This isn’t about politics. It is about Constitutional law. I call upon our legislators and our Courts to stop this. Right now.

We have an imperfect Republic, but it is ours…and it works. It has made the United States the best country, the place where freedom loving people have striven to come to, for 237 years….

But can we keep it?

What are you thankful for?

Actually, that should read: “For what are you thankful?” (that tip to Gretchen G, my first college engrish teacher…)

All joking aside, I have much to be thankful for.

I hope you can immediately come up with a list as long as mine.

If not, then you need to realize that if you are celebrating this holiday, then you are likely a citizen of the US….and while this country has many issues, it is still the place that many others in the world wish they could come to, and which many spend all their fortunes to get to…

This is, despite the continued erosion of our freedoms and incredible growth of government regulations in the past few years, still one of the freest places in the world, with a set of laws which protect the freedoms we have. (so far, anyway).

Few people in this country really starve. They might not eat the types of foods they wish to, or the best for them, but they get enough calories to survive, nearly every mealtime….and that makes them better off than a significant portion of the world’s population.

For the most part, we don’t have to fear the police, unlike many in this world.

The shining silver beacon of this country may be a bit tarnished lately, but it still shines brighter than almost any other country.

And I (and likely you) are privileged to live here.

So how do we reign him in? Without Civil War, I mean….

Congress isn’t doing it…

The courts aren’t doing it.

How do we reign in this out of control despot that ignores our Constitution and our way of governing?

When is enough, enough? When will we stop it?

Why have we, as citizens been afraid to try and stop him? Wyy do we let him get away with breaking the rules set forth in the Constitution and usurping powers reserved for the Congress and Senate? Why do the houses of Congress allow this?

Even major mainstream publications are asking this.

You should be asking this too. of your friends and neighbors….

Everyone should be afraid of this. Liberal and Conservative alike. The destruction of the Constitution is a really bad idea, no matter whose agenda is moved forwards in the doing so.
