How gun control lost

Gun control didn't work. In the 1990s, despite its draconian ban, Washington became the murder capital of the United States. Chicago's homicide rate, which had been declining in the years before it banned handguns, climbed over the following decade.

Supreme Court strikes down D.C. handgun ban

The Supreme Court tossed out a handgun ban in the nation's capital on Thursday, holding for the first time that the Second Amendment does protect an individual right to self-defense and gun ownership.

This is the best damn decision they could have made!!!!!

Listen to Bob Barr explain it:

Obama Camp Closely Linked With Ethanol

Mr. Obama is running as a reformer who is seeking to reduce the influence of special interests. But like any other politician, he has powerful constituencies that help shape his views. And when it comes to domestic ethanol, almost all of which is made from corn, he also has advisers and prominent supporters with close ties to the industry at a time when energy policy is a point of sharp contrast between the parties and their presidential candidates.

Yeah right, The canditate for change.

Nowadays, when Mr. Obama travels in farm country, he is sometimes accompanied by his friend Tom Daschle, the former Senate majority leader from South Dakota. Mr. Daschle now serves on the boards of three ethanol companies and works at a Washington law firm where, according to his online job description, “he spends a substantial amount of time providing strategic and policy advice to clients in renewable energy.”

Here's a prior post where Obama has been linked to Countrywide and the Sub-prime meltdown.

Biofuels has made 30 million people worldwide poor

One of those so-called leaders has been identified as an agent of Hezbollah--Osama Siblani, publisher of the Arab American News. Siblani, an open supporter of the terrorist group, was handpicked for the invite by the Obama campaign.

Another reason gas is so damn expensive

There are a lot of reasons, but somehow the biggest problem (as usual) points directly to Washington DC. Democrats yesterday in a subcommittee voted basically to kill going to the outer continental shelf to drill for oil because there are 'other things we can do'.

When the pitchforks and torches start coming out---we'd like to help clarify who was for or against us.

Note that all the AGAINST ARE DEMOCRATS!

AGAINST Chair: Norman D. Dicks (WA), James P. Moran (VA), Maurice D. Hinchey (NY), John W. Olver (MA), Alan B. Mollohan (WV), Tom Udall (NM), Ben Chandler (KY), Ed Pastor (AZ), Dave Obey (WI), Ex Officio

FOR Minority Ranking Member: Todd Tiahrt (KS), John E. Peterson (PA), Jo Ann Emerson (MO), Virgil H. Goode, Jr. (VA), Ken Calvert (CA), Jerry Lewis (CA), Ex Officio

Elections and 78 New Groups!!

Orginally posted by www. myspace. com/JoinNRA

It is now clear that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee and John McCain will be the Republican nominee. I am not so arrogant as to tell you who you should vote for in November (after all it is 4 months away), but please take some time and see where these candidates stand on the Second Amendment. I personally believe that a candidate who does not trust me with guns should not be trusted with the Presidency of the greatest country in the world. That being said; it honestly is likely that Barack Obama will be our next president. I know.. I hate saying it, but it's true. HOWEVER you still have a HUGE say in this! if the makeup of the congress is chok full of pro-gun legislators - it won't matter who the president is, that is why you need to get out and vote for pro-gun leaders.Because this election is so important (all of them are) Yesterday, I went out on the Internet and searched and searched and searched.... I found 78 groups which had not been previously listed here. I also removed one group that had gone de-funct.At this point I believe I have the single largest repository of pro-gun organizations anywhere on the web. However, the fact that we actually need this many groups is disheartining.Further, the mere existance of these groups does not ensure our rights, you must join them, and keep track of the candidates at all levels of government and vote those who do not respect you out!The first group I want to specifically mention is www. gunvoter. org; this group intends to offer one stop shopping; to disseminate information to the people who feel that the right to keep and bear arms should not be infringed. Please visit this site and keep visiting to get the information you need to make informed votes.The second group I want to mention is the NRA, this is the largest pro-gun organization out there.If you are not a member Join Today through www. myspace. com/joinNRA and get a $10 discount. If you are a member, consider buying a membership for someone in your life.Please re-post this in your blog and in your Bulletin Board - There are over 3000 friends of JoinNRA and Other Pro-gun groups and we can reach 15 million people if HALF of you send this to 100 of your friends and they send it to their hundred friends, it's easy.

Government Strikes Again

Have you read about this? Unbelievable!!

Grapevine student with top grades won't be valedictorian

Grapevine High School senior Anjali Datta holds the highest grade-point average of the 471 students graduating from Grapevine High School this year. In fact, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD officials believe her GPA of 5.898 may be the highest in the high school's history.

It's still not enough to make her the valedictorian, which brings a one-year college scholarship from the state. Her closest competitor's GPA is 5.64. No one disputes that she's the top student in her class numerically. The problem rests with another number entirely.

Anjali rocketed through high school in only three years.

But a school district policy states: "The valedictorian shall be the eligible student with the highest weighted grade-point average for four years of high school." [...]

[A district spokeswoman] said the district researched the decision for months.
"There was a lot of thought involved in this. There is no perfect answer," she said. [My God, the inmates really have taken over the asylum].

Anjali says she and her parents are baffled.

"I have not heard of any educational institution penalizing a student for excellence – for completing a demanding set of classes 'too quickly,' " said her father, Deepak Datta. "Anjali's experience will surely send a strong negative signal to other talented students trying to excel.

Californian's are FOOLS

The defeat of prop 98 is summed here by Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, explained to the Los Angeles Times, "By placing a second eminent domain measure on the ballot, opponents of private property rights created enough confusion between the ballot measures to defeat Proposition 98... Proposition 99's loopholes will allow eminent domain abuse to continue."

Islamic Indoctrination in our public schools

This type of indoctrination is exactly what leads to subjugation which Islamic extremists have already publicly stated is their goal. Americans have come to be tolerant of many things but when a culture war is being waged in our public schools, it is time to say ENOUGH. Concerned parents need to get involved in their local school councils

Gas at $4.00 a gallon and climbing. Who's to blame?

Thanks to the enivironmentalist lobby and its influence on Democratic legislators in Congress, the U.S. has, for decades, been prohibited from drilling for oil in places that we know contain billions of barrels of proven reserves.

Check out this map:





All of the "NO" zones are places where the U.S., thanks to the Democratic Party, is prohibited from drilling for oil.




But wait, it gets better.




***China, Cuba, Canada and others continue to drill off our shores where US companies are not allowed to drill because of Democratic policies!




Yes, that's right. China and Cuba are actively exploring oil fields 50 miles from Key West, Florida while U.S. companies are barred from working in this area because of U.S. policy . So, instead of allowing the most environmentally responsible companies to operate there and increase our domestic supply, China, who has a dismal environmental record, is preparing to suck our close, lucrative oil reserves dry.

Unbelievable!

Investor's Business Daily recently explained just how irresponsible the Democrats have been on the energy crisis. They lay into what they consider to be the worst Congress ever for...

~ Failing to allow drilling in ANWR. We have, as President Bush noted, estimated capacity of a million barrels of oil a day from this source alone -- enough for 27 million gallons of gas and diesel. But Congress won't touch it, fearful of the clout of the environmental lobby. As a result, you pay through the nose at the pump so your representative can raise campaign cash.~ Refusing to build new refineries. The U.S. hasn't built one since 1976, yet the EPA requires at least 15 unique 'boutique' fuel blends that can be sold in different areas around the nation. This means that U.S. refinery capacity is stretched so tight that even the slightest problem at a refinery causes enormous supply problems and price spikes. Congress has done nothing about this.~ Turning its back on nuclear power. It's safe and, with advances in nuclear reprocessing technology, waste problems have been minimized. Still, we have just 104 nuclear plants -- the same as a decade ago -- producing just 19% of our total energy. (Many European nations produce 40% or more of their power with nuclear.) Granted, nuclear power plants are expensive -- about $3 billion each. But they produce energy at $1.72/kilowatt-hour vs. $2.37 for coal and $6.35 for natural gas.~ Raising taxes on energy producers. This is where a basic understanding of economics would help: Higher taxes and needless regulation lead to less production of a commodity. So by proposing 'windfall' and other taxes on energy companies plus tough new rules, Congress only makes our energy situation worse.These are just a few of Congress' sins of omission -- all while India, China, Eastern Europe and the Middle East are adding more than a million barrels of new demand each and every year. New Energy Department forecasts see world oil demand growing 40% by 2030, including a 28% increase in the U.S.Americans who are worried about the direction of their country, including runaway energy and food prices, should keep in mind the upcoming election isn't just about choosing a new president. We'll also pick a new Congress…
