Republicans must not fall prey to this manipulative president

Wake up America, listen to his words not what he says; oBummer puts "straw men" in his speeches and uses words that are all inclusive and if you can't see it then he sounds creditable. Ask the question WHO is he talking about when you listen to his speech, because he never answers the question?

I have said it dozens of times. Gun control is just a diversion created by the democrats, it just doesn't work since criminals use illegal weapons. Let's get to the real issues, unemployment, job creation, reducing the deficit and the republicans must NOT CAVE IN to Obamas demands. He thinks he can do anything to this country and he is probably the worst president we've ever had, similar to Jimmy Carter.

We are all so tired of his "bulls--t" about everything. This lying SOB got no attention from the mainstream press over the 4 deaths in Benghazi, but Notre Dame's Teo's lies about his dead girlfriend was ALL OVER every news outlet yesterday and today.

Surprise, they already did when they allowed him a second term. There were a number of ways they could have stopped this. Two of them were Speaker Newt Gingrich or Gov. Sarah Palin. Instead they split their vote between Gingrich and sanctimonious Santorum who is not even on the same hemisphere as Gingrich in terms of smarts and accomplishments. But because he was self righteous and beat on his Bible he peeled away votes from Gingrich who could have beat Romney. After Palin hired an advisor who no doubt measured her lack of support, she didn't even bother to run.

Since conservatives do not know how to stick together and elect someone based on what is really important instead of the intolerant, judgmental attitude, I'd say they got what they deserved.

Republicans are already falling prey to the NRA compromises. Federal background checks for all gun sales is the same thing as registration of all guns. The NRA is wrong, and if I was not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, I would think that they were just playing their part. The time for playing politics with our rights is over. They are willing to give up ground to these liberal control freaks.

I would love to be able to get behind the NRA completely, but the are soft, and are sucking conservatives into compromise, just like all the RINOs do.

Do you really want the federal government to create a national "no buy" list on guns? Sound familiar? Yeah, if you think that they feds will not start refusing people that they deem to be a possible threat from buying guns with this list, then you are as gullible as the poor suckers who want our guns taken. You already have a homeland security file, and are rated as a certain level of threat. Where do you think that they get the info to deny people to fly?

The NRA is suckering conservatives into giving the feds more power over their freedoms. If you are willing to go down this road, then you may as well hand them in now.

Obama has a King complex. Who said that and what does he intend to do about it?

Let`s put some Faith in the rookies in congress. Contact them, offer you support and prayers, and make them aware that we are watching and paying more and more attention. Their mission is to TAKE OUR GREAT NATION BACK from those who seek Her demise, so we can preserve INTACT the FREEDOMS we all share for the generations to come. After all, teams around the NFL gave rookies a chance this year, and what a great season it has been for tons of `em !!!

From one of our Michigan State Senators regarding "The Michigan Firearms Freedom Act".

Here it is:

Dear Michigander:

In response to national threats against our second amendment rights, I have introduced Senate Bill 63 in the Michigan Senate to create the Michigan Firearms Freedom Act.

Our citizens have a right to protect themselves in their own homes and communities. Sadly, the proposals announced yesterday by President Obama would do little to address those concerns while weakening our Constitutional right to bear arms.

The Firearms Freedom Act, if passed into law, would send a clear message to Washington that the people of Michigan - not the federal government - will decide their own destiny. The act would reaffirm Michigan's right to regulate intrastate commerce, and clarify that firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition produced, bought, and sold in Michigan will not be subject to federal overreach that would seek to impose new regulations and onerous mandates on states. This is not just a second amendment issue; it is also imperative that we rightfully defend our state's sovereignty as guaranteed in the tenth amendment.

Today, I am proud to stand with hardworking, law abiding Michiganders who rightfully own a gun. I hope you will join me in sending a message to the President and Congress that Michigan will defend what belongs to her.

Moving forward, we will engage in a serious conversation about real solutions that keep our communities safe without diminishing the integrity of our Constitution.

Sincerely,

Phil Pavlov

State Senator

District 25

Note: Ain't that somethin'? What's good for the goose is good for the Michigander.

Very interesting reading indeed - do have a look!

One of our favorite Michigan State Senators, Dave Agema, facebooked this morning that he wanted to know where he could get an AR-15.

He used to be a fighter pilot.

Shortly thereafter the Senate introduced "The Michigan Firearms Freedom Act".

Yay!

This article can be a turning point. Two candidates are essentially eliminating their cadencies- Marco Rubio and Chris Christie. Two politicians from blue States who give lip service to the gun control rhetoric spewed and shaped by none other than Barack Obama. Christie saying he doesn’t think armed guards should be in schools and Rubio saying that he would revisit gun control laws right after the Sandy Hook school massacre. All because of extreme liberal rhetoric led by Barack Obama. As a side note, John Boehner and incidentally Paul Ryan and Romney are all politicians from blue states and we have plenty of evidence showing that these republicans from blue States never work out well in delivering and articulating the conservative message. But the central theme is that they often turn out to promote a watered down version of Conservatism under the slightest bit of scrutiny and challenge.

I mean we scratch our heads asking who and why set-up a Republican debate with George Stephanopoulos as moderator?! Well the person who did that was Rence Prebius. No one who is a real Conservative would even think of doing something as asinine as that- but Prebius did. Moreover, losing a Presidential election with him at the helm means he should resign because that didn’t work out so well. I see that Karl Rove is back. He was on Hannity last night and that is another walking and talking disaster, yet an unelected one. Moreover, what's worse is that the GOP will self-destruct if we continue to take advice from consultants, who were ex-Clinton consultants (Title and link below). It appears to me that if we continue to go down this path of selecting republicans from blue states we give them permission to water down the conservative message to the point of making it none effective. At least have a revolving door were conservative republicans from red states have the opportunity to govern and represent the conservative point of view. This means that republicans from red States MUST be more aggressive and demand that their voices be heard.

Title: Viewed as out of touch, GOP gathers forces to plot rebirth

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/16/viewed-out-touch-gop-gathers-forces-plot-rebirth/

The problem with most Republicans in Congress is that they always punt on these issues, cause either O or the MSM label them as extremist that want to hurt the country. Every time they cave they are giving up the core ideas and principles of what should be the Republican Party. Everytime a crisis is coming they always talk a big game but end up saying that this is not the time, the next crisis will be more advantageous and when the next crisis comes up they say the exact same thing. Like with the fiscal cliff. The establishment said "oh this not the time, we'll have more leverage during the debt ceiling". Now you hear the establishment saying that the debt ceiling is not the time we'll have more leverage during the continuing resolution. When will it be time?

From Tea Party Command Center

Food for thought!

You're sound asleep when you hear

a thump outside your bedroom door.

Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear,

you hear muffled whispers.

At least two people have broken into your

house and are moving your way.

With your heart pumping, you reach down

beside your bed and pick up your shotgun.

You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch

toward the door and open it.

In the darkness, you make out two shadows.

One holds something that looks like a crowbar.

When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike,

you raise the shotgun and fire.

The blast knocks both thugs to the floor.

One writhes and screams while the second

man crawls to the front door and lurches outside.

As you pick up the telephone to call police,

you know you're in trouble.

In your country, most guns were outlawed years

before, and the few that are privately owned

are so stringently regulated as to make them useless.

Yours was never registered.

Police arrive and inform you

that the second burglar has died.

They arrest you for First Degree Murder

and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.

When you talk to your attorney, he tells

you not to worry: authorities will probably

plea the case down to manslaughter.

"What kind of sentence will I get?" you ask.

"Only ten-to-twelve years,"

he replies, as if that's nothing.

"Behave yourself, and you'll be out in seven."

The next day, the shooting is the lead

story in the local newspaper.

Somehow, you're portrayed as an eccentric

vigilante while the two men you shot

are represented as choirboys.

Their friends and relatives can't find

an unkind word to say about them.

Buried deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both "victims" have been arrested numerous times.

But the next day's headline says it all:

"Lovable Rogue Son Didn't Deserve to Die."

The thieves have been transformed from career criminals into Robin Hood-type pranksters.

As the days wear on, the story takes wings.

The national media picks it up,

then the international media.

The surviving burglar has become a folk hero.

Your attorney says the thief is preparing

to sue you, and he'll probably win.

The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized several times in the past and that you've been critical of local police for their lack

of effort in apprehending the suspects.

After the last break-in, you told your neighbor

that you would be prepared next time.

The District Attorney uses this to allege

that you were lying in wait for the burglars.

A few months later, you go to trial.

The charges haven't been reduced,

as your lawyer had so confidently predicted.

When you take the stand, your anger at

the injustice of it all works against you.

Prosecutors paint a picture of you

as a mean, vengeful man.

It doesn't take long for the jury to convict

you of all charges.

The judge sentences you to life in prison.

This case really happened.

On August 22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth, Norfolk , England , killed one burglar and wounded a second.

In April, 2000, he was convicted

and is now serving a life term.

How did it become a crime to defend one's

own life in the once great British Empire ?

It started with the Pistols Act of 1903.

This seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols to minors or felons and established that handgun sales were to be made only to those who had a license. The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only handguns but all firearms except shotguns.

Later laws passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns.

Momentum for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerford mass shooting in 1987. Michael Ryan, a mentally disturbed man with a Kalashnikov rifle, walked down the streets shooting everyone he saw.

When the smoke cleared, 17 people were dead.

The British public, already de-sensitized by eighty years of "gun control", demanded even tougher restrictions. (The seizure of all privately owned handguns was the objective even though Ryan used a rifle.)

Nine years later, at Dunblane , Scotland , Thomas Hamilton used a semi-automatic weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public school.

For many years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as mentally unstable or worse, criminals. Now the press had a real kook with which to beat up law-abiding gun owners. Day after day, week after week, the media gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all handguns. The Dunblane Inquiry, a few months later, sealed the fate of the few sidearms still owned by private citizens.

During the years in which the British government incrementally took away most gun rights, the notion that a citizen had the right to armed self-defense came to be seen as vigilantism. Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to people who were threatened, claiming that self-defense was no longer considered a reason to own a gun. Citizens who shot burglars or robbers or rapists were charged while the real criminals were released.

Indeed, after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman was quoted as saying, "We cannot have people take the law into their own hands."

All of Martin's neighbors had been robbed numerous times, and several elderly people were severely injured in beatings by young thugs who had no fear of the consequences. Martin himself, a collector of antiques, had seen most of his collection trashed or stolen by burglars.

When the Dunblane Inquiry ended, citizens who owned handguns were given three months to turn them over to local authorities.

Being good British subjects, most people obeyed the law. The few who didn't were visited by police and threatened with ten-year prison sentences if they didn't comply.

Police later bragged that they'd taken nearly 200,000 handguns from private citizens.

How did the authorities know who had handguns?

The guns had been registered and licensed.

Kind of like cars Sound familiar?

WAKE UP AMERICA ; THIS IS WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTION.

"..It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.."

--Samuel Adams

Just checking in to let everyone know I'm alive. Just not chatty today. Kinda sleepy. SO, howdy all.

:-)

This entire article can be summed up with a single term: "jamming".

Militant homosexuals have been using these techniques for years. They even wrote a book detailing how they would do it. It's called "After the Ball: How America Will Conquer it's Fear & Hatred of Gays in the 90's"

The media was asleep apparently.

1) The first stage is desensitization --acclimating the culture to the "virtues" of their cause. Even inventing false narratives of oppression and imagined cultural violence.

2) The second stage is called "jamming" -- it's an attempt to paint the opposition as bigoted and hateful thus silencing their position. The idea is to use carefully crafted words and phrases that paint the opposition in the worst light thus keeping them pinned back on their heels. That's why they invoke words like homophobe, xenophobe, racist, intolerant, hitler, et al.

3) The third stage is conversion -- this is when the opposition is defeated through years of desensitization. The scales of public opinion tilt in the sodomite's favor and the "voice of reason" is silenced. At least until the sodomite's behavior catches up with him and the gig is up.

That's why so many people today "approve" of counterfeit marriage. Homosexuals have desensitized the culture to it. Mainly because the media defends it and no one on the other side rebukes it. And because we lack a moral ethic to ground our worldviews in anymore, the door is wide open for them to seize the country including our children's schools with their perversion.

And it works. So why stop?

Can someone tell why the republimorons don't just say f it? I mean if you capitulate you will be destroyed so why the hell not go down in a blaze of glory. Not fighting makes you look weak. When you look weak no one has respect for you which means you're finished. Demand respect and use your power and you will have more of both. Respect and power.

Well said, Jen.

One point people must be made aware of: "We’re going to need voices in those areas, in those congressional districts, where the tradition of gun ownership is strong to speak up and to say this is important."

These 'voices' will be 'voices' along the lines of those organisations who find one or two families demanding that prayer, or a picture of Jesus, be removed from their school. One or two voices - huge impact thanks to the ScreamingLyingMeejah.

The POS' aim is not a dialogue, a debate - it is to get 'community organisers' organising the desired outcry against gun ownership - for the kiddies' sake. It is about manipulation and of frightening people into silence.

And then the Beltway pundits will pick it up - and then another little bit of your liberties will be taken away - for the sake of the kiddies.

Btw, seen on twitter: have kids been writing letters to Obama about the debt they will have to bear, thanks to him? If not - perhaps they should! After all, he seems to like to make politics when kids ask him to ...
