Irony marks White House gun blitz
Morning Journal [Lorain, OH], by Tom Skoch

Original Article

Posted By:Harlowe, 1/13/2013 9:06:01 AM

Ironies abound when you look back over this past week’s White House effort to take firearms out of the hands of most everyone except the armed bodyguards of all the bloviating bigshots who think you’re too dumb or unimportant to have a gun to protect your family. At the order of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden’s taskforce held a couple of days of talks on various sides of the gun issue. (Snip) A White House presspool report that came to me quoted Biden supporting “universal background checks, not just closing the gumshoe loophole.” Gumshoe loophole?

They want to outlaw our weapons and at the same time Bam Bam grants himself armed protection for life!

Former Senator James Webb tried to enter the Capitol building with a 9mm pistol in his possession. He blamed his aide, and nothing happened to either of them.
One of dead ted kennedy´s armed guards tried to enter the capitol building carrying his UZI, and nothing happened to him.

(I worked an event at my university back in the early 1970s - not long after dead ted kennedy killed mary jo kopechne - and my dimwitted dean managed to get dead ted as a commencement speaker. dead ted had his own private security detail, and I had to work with them on the issue of security. And his main bodyguard told me that when dead ted spoke at the commencement, with 10,000 people in attendance, the bodyguard would rather that all 10,000 people in attendance die, rather than dead ted dying. Absolutely true story.)

Just read between the lines. It´s never about public safety; it´s about government control of the people.

Oaths to protect the Constitution of the United States ring hollow from the mouths of those whose actions do not live up to the oath itself.

Meanwhile, thousands of families continue to keep a wary eye on loved ones with serious mental illness. They can´t have them hospitalized for evaluation, because their potential for violence doesn´t yet meet the ´imminent´ threshold. And they can´t ensure that the loved one cannot go purchase a gun and be the next Adam Lanza. Of course, the most likely victims aren´t children in an elementary school. The most likely victims are the families of the person with serious mental illness. These killings rarely make the national news, but they happen daily and the mental health community is well aware of them. Of course, if nothing is done, one or more of these individuals will become an Adam Lanza - do something completely outrageously horrible - and we will once again wring our hands and claim we can do nothing.

Just read another article about the George Soros´ funded Center for (non)American Progress that has a Leftest Gun Grabbing List ready to go. So who will prove more powerful, the incredibly evil George Soros and his Flying Monkeys or the NRA and the American people?

Poster 6, James Holmes set off many alarms including a envelope full of disturbing materials he mailed to his psychiatrist who conveniently said she didn´t receive until after Holmes shot up the cinema in Aurora, CO. In the Lanza case the system worked, he tried to ourchase weapons but was denied. So he stole the guns from his negligent mother. Everyone is opposed to mental deficients having access to guns, but the far left obama could care less about safety for Americans. He just seeks to disarm law abiding Americans in the name of security. As another poster said a few days ago, "it´s not about guns, it´s not about gun control, it´s about control.´"

I don´t think there is a special ´bodyguard´ carry license, just the same old ´concealed carry permits´ that the rest of us can have, so I guess Feinstein, Schumer, Soros and the rest will give up their guns as well as their bodyguards!

Need leaders worthy of respect
Morning Journal [Lorain, OH], by Tom Skoch    Original Article
Posted By: Harlowe- 3/17/2013 8:35:22 AM     Post Reply
Respect for authority was one of the key concepts drilled into me as a child by my parents, who came of age in the Great Depression and then endured the rigors and discipline demanded by World War II. The inclination to respect authority stuck with me while many others in the Baby Boomer generation began to raise hell on the streets and inside of families, challenging parental and social authority. Having said that, the corollary of respecting authority is the expectation of being treated with respect by others, all the way up to our national leaders.

Here’s a riddle, but it’s not funny, and I’m almost afraid to contemplate the answer: What do you get when you cross aggressive government attempts to strip citizens of their Second Amendment rights with at least 65 million American gun owners, who have just bought roughly 65 million more guns in only the last four years? Let’s just say, “trouble” could be a euphemism for an answer. (Snip) Why are our government “servants” — elected and otherwise — trying to criminalize law-abiding taxpayers with confiscatory and unconstitutional laws and regulations?

It´s not about guns; it’s about keeping control of your life. The gun control “war” launched against American citizens and the Constitution this past week by the elites in Washington, D.C., is most certainly not about keeping little Bobby and Mary Jane safe in school. (Snip) This past week, with great showmanship, Obama squeezed the kids like triggers; he fired them like little emotional bullets into America’s heart to disrupt your ability to think clearly about what is happening to our country.

If ever a confluence of significant events called Americans to a day of sober reflection, it is Jan. 21, 2013. On that date, we mark the Inauguration of a president; the start of Barack Obama’s second term in the White House. And we also observe the annual Martin Luther King Day memorial to the nation’s revered civil rights leader. Fifty years ago, when King proclaimed his civil rights Dream, it was all but unimaginable that the nation today would not just have a black president, but would be returning him to the White House for a second term.

Today is the day to fight for your life. Within weeks, proposed laws will be decided that would destroy your ability to protect your family from predators, including criminals, and, especially, the political wolves who can force you to live, or die, on their terms. Tyranny, rooted in these gun control proposals, is exactly what the Second Amendment was written to prevent. Each of us has a natural human right to keep and bear arms to preserve life and liberty. History proves that surrendering arms to the state has always been a fatal mistake for populations who disarmed.

Benjamin Netanyahu losing support

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel´s prime minister, has ordered a campaign shake-up amid plummeting poll figures that show him haemorrhaging support ahead of this month´s election. He is said to have demanded an end to bickering within his Likud party and a bigger role for grassroots workers after successive surveys and a series of embarrassing publicity flops following his decision to merge with Avigdor Lieberman´s Yisrael Beiteinu party. His intervention comes after the latest poll – published by Haaretz newspaper – showed the Likud Beitenu bloc poised to win just 34 seats in the Knesset

Elyria — Some employees could be out of work as Invacare Corporation will have to indefinitely “stop manufacturing, designing and distributing manual and powered wheelchairs and wheelchair components” at its two Elyria facilities until it satisfies federal regulators over its quality and design control systems. (Snip) This all started in 2010 when (John) Kasich (now Ohio’s Republican governor) was on Invacare’s board of directors. The federal government was playing politics and they sent in multiple auditors. They were there for over a year, but normally you have one auditor who comes in for a few weeks.

The results of the presidential election were certainly a sharp disappointment for those on the right, but conservatives shouldn’t be looking for any non-fiscal cliffs to throw themselves from. Nor should Dems see any grand mandate for President Obama’s policies. Obama won small, and the nation and Congress remain as divided as before the election. A Republican comeback in 2014, taking control of the U.S. Senate, would change the picture greatly. By 2014, Americans will have had a much bigger taste of what a second Obama term means in their daily lives

Election Day is Tuesday, and this is one election no voter should sit out. Every vote needs to be cast because the stakes are nothing less than the existence of the United States of America as we’ve known it since 1776. In 2008, American optimism prevailed and the nation elected Barack Obama its first black president. He was an understandable choice: He was a likeable man with a golden gift for spellbinding speeches that overrode his thin resume. He promised hope and change and created a vision of national unity, an end to venomous partisan politics

Avon Lake – Ohioans will determine the outcome of next week’s presidential election, said Republican candidate Mitt Romney. The former governor of Massachusetts spoke to a capacity crowd of 2,900 people at the Avon Lake High School gymnasium and its overflow room. "We're going to get real change in place from day one," Romney said. (Snip) The crowd cheered when Romney outlined the first point of his economic plan, which is to take full advantage of America’s oil, coal and natural gas recourse.

Clear Channel Outdoor will remove 30 billboards across the city that drew complaints of racism and intimidation with their message of "Voter fraud is a felony," the company said Saturday night. Jim Cullinan, a spokesman for Clear Channel Outdoor, said the billboards will come down immediately. He said the company continues its donation of 10 other billboards that will have messages to counter the offending ones. City Councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland, who objected to the billboards and helped lead the push for others to respond to them, called Clear Channel's decision "fantastic news."

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. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. 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?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

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. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
