The Connecticut Bill to
´Out´ Gun Owners Shows Us
a Nationalized Issue

American Thinker, by Jack Kemp

Original Article

Posted By:magnante, 1/10/2013 8:22:37 AM

In 2000, Rosie O´Donnell´s bodyguard applied for a gun permit in Greenwich, Connecticut, presumably so he could protect O´Donnell´s child on the way to a public school. The gun permit was, Rosie claimed, sought by the security firm of her bodyguard and not O´Donnell herself -- but she did not veto the decision. O´Donnell was therefore a partner with, an enabler of, the one who paid (indirectly) for this application for gun usage, regardless of how she attempted to compartmentalize the decision in her mind as someone else´s action and responsibility.

Author is Jack Kemp, not Steve McCann.

I wonder if we will see more incidences such as that experienced by Richard Burgess, where anti-self-defense bullies try to make a scene in public over a law-abiding citizen who is legally armed.

If the media "outs" gun owners then they should also "out" Muslims. On 9/11 Muslims murders far more Americans than law abiding gun owners ever have.

Maybe there should a list of those that do not own guns, that way criminals would target them and not risk being confronted by a gun owner.

How about let´s out voters? The unions don´t want you to have a secret vote. They want to know how you voted. They want it to be public.

So, let´s change the law so that how people vote is a matter of public record. Who do you think would be more interested in hiding how they voted, democrats or Republicans?

The day they ´out´ legal gun owners is the day I predict home break-ins will escalate and all those legal guns will be reported as stolen.

Please please please

Why?

Because it´s "illegal" to tell the yayhoos "I´ve got a gun and am willing and trained to use it on you"

Let the State and the newspapers do that for me.

#3 -- Don´t equate not owning a gun with opposing the Second Amendment. I went into a line of work incompatible with owning my own gun. So I chose to give away my gun.

But I never rescinded my fully-paid life membership in the NRA, nor changed my belief that a person has an unalienable right to defend him/herself with a gun if needed.

´Retaliate´ against this CT bill by ´outing´ people who oppose others´ right to keep and bear arms. People who support that right, but freely choose not to exercise it for themselves, are with us -- not against us.

I like the idea of "outing" those who have had abortions. Let´s get a map posted of those people who really HAVE killed someone instead of the law abiding gun owners who haven´t.
Last year planned non-parenthood performed 334,000 abortions. Yep, P n-P performed an abortion on one out of every twenty women of child bearing age in this country last year.

Meanwhile, 80 million law abiding gun owners killed no one...

We should use the 10 to 1 method that perhaps Nazis the Japanese used in WWII while being occupiers: For every one category the liberals out law abiding citizens, conservatives or Christians, we will force lists to be published for liberal membership groups. Some of the first members that should be outed are: everyone who is a member of Media Matters; CPUSA; and remmants of Acorn(or whatever chameleon name they´ve adopted since their exposure for illicit deeds); Black Panthers, former Underground Weathermen; CAIR. Let´s go looking for members of the Muslim Brotherhood/USA! So here we have seven groups now but need three more.

Why do they attack us? Why do they hate us? Why must they have our rights and our privacy? Why do they think and act like they own us? On national TV they joke about killing those few of us who dare exercise God-given rights recognized under the constitution. They seem to think that now is the time to compel us to board the USS Welfare and be set out to sea forever.

I am thinking of a little bit of data mining.
A list of personal property tax bills ranked from largest to smalles.

A list of high value car owners by manufacture.

A list of private plane ownership again by model and manufacture.

I´ll bet a certain segment of society would love to know when the private plan of an owner of a Mercedes 550 happens to depart it primary hanger.

#11, Rosie and her wife just greeted the arrival of a new baby girl.

I´m not surprised at the effort to "out" gun owners--and shame them. Many years ago, our pediatrician questioned me about guns in our home. When asked what business it was of his, he told me the American Academy of Pediatricians was recommending that all doctors ask this of their patients´ parents as a public health issue.

Commies are writing the bills, they legislate them, and their media will publish the lists.
Even if by chance the bill to oust abortions would pass commie media wouldn´t publish the list. Just as well they are not "interested" in what happened in Benghazi, or any other topic negative to commies. Pure fascism!

Twiddle twaddle even the suggestion of all these lists is a compromise with individual freedom.
If the anti minions don´t like private gun ownership acknowledged openly let´s see how they fare if it all goes underground.
Send the Feds a bill of sale --I no longer own this gun --- that is secured and not findable.
My grandfather made sure everyone knew he had sold his during the last ownership flareup. WW 1 disabled vet and one of the first US test pilots -- flying Jennies

An predictable result will be disgruntled neighbors ratting out their neighbors who appear to be defrauding the public...

Definition Of Marriage;
What Can We Learn From Islam?

Before America embarks on changing the concept of marriage, I hope they will at least agree on examining cultures that do not define marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman. In their eagerness to achieve their goals, the pro gay marriage enthusiasts are marching towards what they perceive as progress and modernity while ignoring lessons from other cultures, history, basic human nature and the horrific and negative unintended consequences of redefining "marriage". Islam´s definition of marriage is one man and up to four women

Gay Marriage: Bill O´Reilly
Misses the Point

During the highly publicized exchange between Bill O´Reilly and Laura Ingraham on gay marriage, O´Reilly made this statement: "There are Bible thumpers, and all they do is say, ´I object to gay marriage because God objects to it.´ You don´t win a policy debate in America with that." Really? Before central control out of Washington was imposed in 2003, policy arguments for criminalizing homosexual acts were won explicitly "with that." And because of "that," the idea of gay marriage has been unthinkable throughout the history of the American nation.

It had to pain the very reverend Jesse Jackson that when the Trayvon Martin story began to break nationally in mid-March 2012 he was on a pointless glad handing tour of Europe.(snip)As it happens, in 1991 Jackson bought a red brick mansion in a Washington, D.C. neighborhood that had seen its better days. Months after moving in, a burglar broke into the house and made off with some valuables while his mother-in-law was home alone. She heard him and then saw him run away.

Posted By: magnante- 4/6/2013 9:03:24 AM     Post Reply
It´s one thing for President Obama to be cocky and overstate his prowess at governing. People are used to politicians grabbing credit, and besides, you can always rationalize when it comes to explaining why things didn´t quite work out as you claimed they would - "the sequester ate my recovery" being the latest successful-enough example. But sports is something else. The basketball either goes through the hoop or it doesn´t. That´s why President Obama´s history of braggadocio regarding his prowess at hoops is having a potent effect on his overall public image, especially with those who are favorably inclined to him.

During his two day flurry of fundraising in Northern California, the President of the United States took it upon himself (and allow to be released to the public - not all of his fundraising comments make it to the masses) to praise the attractiveness of Kamala Harris, California Attorney General (snip) The remark, predictably, generated a little of what Allahpundit called a ´Blue on blue food fight." I suspect that was the intention. The president´s image as a manly man took a beating when he missed 20 of 22 basketball shots, all recorded on video.

We have already seen Peak Obama; from here on, it´s going to get rougher and rougher for Barack Obama. Even worse, the one word he must fear the most has just been uttered by a man regarded as a bit of a truth-teller among liberal elites. Joe Klein, the celebrated author "Anonymous," who wrote the best selling, truth-telling book Primary Colors about the 1992 primary campaign that brought us President Bill Clinton, has made it ok for liberals to apply the word "incompetence" to the Obama administration. This represents something of a breakthrough. Until now, it has been taboo

Where is Starbucks
Board of Directors?
American Thinker, by Tom Trinko    Original Article
Posted By: magnante- 4/4/2013 9:44:12 AM     Post Reply
The CEO of Starbucks basically told a shareholder that if the shareholder believes in traditional marriage he should dump his Starbucks stock. Historically the job of the CEO has been to make money and increase shareholder value. It would seem telling people who don´t share the CEO´s personal beliefs, whether it´s gay marriage or abortion, to dump the companies stock is not a pro-shareholder action. This is another example of the liberal belief that everything belongs to liberals because they´re just so darn much smarter than the rest of us

The Coming Global Warming
Voter Backlash
American Thinker, by Jonathon Miseley    Original Article
Posted By: magnante- 4/4/2013 8:40:29 AM     Post Reply
News is breaking out all over: global warming stopped 20 years ago. A political earthquake has resulted from a feature story in the Economist magazine because the Economist used to be a consistent cheerleader for global warming activism. Doubts about global warming used to be censored by its London editors, one reporter confided to Stephen Hayward. So what will voters do to Democrat candidates in 2014 and 2016 when the former realize that the Democratic Party was lying to them? Is it time to run away from the issue for Democrats, journalists, and Hollywood personalities?

President Obama has a situation on his hands where charisma and media support do him no good. He is dealing with a nuclear-armed regime with a history of military attacks, provocations as a means of extortion, and brutality.

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass.

Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation.
