I'm a Navy Veteran and Jersey Girl from birth, but just because I live in a "blue" state doesn't mean that my politics lean that way! I am a Conservative & life-long American Patriot who loves God & Country. I currently live in central NJ with my husband (also a USN-Retired Veteran) and a house full of rescued and loveable dogs & cats. God Bless America!

TRUE & CRAZY (VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!)

1374345_643393612348346_269479656_nA noted Psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi (Rep., D-CA) (former speaker of the United States House of Representatives) happened to appear. Ms. Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze with the good doctor a bit and asked him a question which he was most at ease.

“Would you mind telling me, Doctor” she asked. “how you detect a mental disability in somebody who appears completely normal?”

“Nothing is easier,” the doctor replied, “You ask a simple question which anyone should know the answer to with no trouble what so ever.”

“What sort of question?” asked Pelosi.

“Well… you might ask, ‘Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?”

Ms. Pelosi thought for a moment and then said with a nervous laugh, “You wouldn’t happen to have another example, would you? I must confess, I don’t know much about history!”

And THIS… my fellow Americans is the same congressional idiot who told the U.S. Congress AND the American people that, “We have to pass the bill (OBAMACARE) before we know what’s in it!”

Well, now we know! We’re all f#@ked!!!! Thanks Ms. Pelosi and a double thank you to all the low-information voters in California!

SAY GOODBYE TO AMERICA (AND THE AMERICAN DREAM)

I love this country. I love what our Constitution stands for and for the dream that our founding fathers imagined for us. I would give my life for my country. At least, I’d give my life for the country that I grew up in and the country that I served while on active duty in the United States Navy from 1979 to 1990. THAT country and the commander(s) in chief that I served under were worth defending. Under Carter, the military was pitiful and unappreciated. Under Reagan, we were proud, united and eager to serve! Bush 41 carried Reagan’s legacy into the 1990’s but by then, I was a military wife & I observed much of this through my husband’s career which finally ended with his retirement (after serving 21 years) toward the end of the Clinton Administration in 1999.

My father, uncles & father-in law all served in World War II. Our grandfather(s) served in World War I. I have ancestors that served in the American Civil War & the American Revolutionary War(s). I have served and my husband has served in the U. S. Navy. Hey, I’m a Jersey Girl and I was born surrounded by historic battlefields here in New Jersey and smack dab in the middle of the 1950’s “baby boom”!

Over the years, I have watched our country’s military decline along with our once vibrant industries. What ever happened to “Made in America”? Growing up, if you had a product that was made in Japan, Korea or China it was considered a piece of crap!  I remember when there was prayer in school, dress codes & if your team lost you learned to accept defeat with dignity and as a lesson learned. The loser(s) were not coddled like infants and given “best loser awards” as they are today. I wouldn’t dare talk back to my parents, teachers or any adult. I learned to respect my elders.  There was no such thing as a “time-out”. If I disobeyed or did something I shouldn’t have done, I was punished. I got sent to my room (without a TV, computer, phone, radio, etc.) and occasionally I got spanked! It was not abuse, just good parenting. Consequently, I grew up with good morals, values and respect for others. Look around at the current culture today and tell me if you think this “time-out” crap that parents are using to reign in their unruly kids is working.

528266_543061845746706_189111140_nI barely recognize this country anymore and am terribly afraid of where this country is going. Many people I talk to about this are afraid as well. I spit on the current leadership (if you can call it that) and the politicians who are currently running this country.  And I don’t care what color they are or what race they are or what nationality they are or what religion they are.  They are ALL to blame!

Sadly, we have a president and his staff peddling bullshit to the American people. Our unemployment numbers are NOT 7.5 %. The unemployment numbers are closer to 14% including underemployment.  Since when do we include part-time employment in the weekly jobs report? And tell me, please; what is this so-called “recovery” the white house keeps babbling about? What recovery? I don’t see it. Do you? Indeed, once the Affordable Care Act (aka) Obamacare goes into effect it’s going to cost American families thousands of dollars more every year all the while government employees, Congress, the Senate and ALL their staff(s) get the “Cadillac” plans that many of us once had & paid to have. Unfortunately, because of Obamacare, most insurance companies will no longer carry those plans because of the high federal taxes that are being imposed. Why can’t insurance companies compete across state lines anyway? Because of elected elite in Washington won’t vote for it. Did you know that insurance companies are pulling coverage out of many states leaving some states with just one? How’s that for a monopoly? I thought monopolies were illegal in this country?

We, Americans have been shrouded in darkness by our government. We have been lied to and violated. We have been surreptitiously and methodically stripped of our rights as Americans by the politicians with whom we have voted for and placed our trust in for years! Our politicians are “in” the top 1% of the American “elite” who gets rich while the rest of us get poorer. We, the working class (working poor in most cases) are left to eke out an honest living by working hard, paying our bills AND federal, state & local taxes in order to provide for our families every single day. It never stops!

How about voting? Do you believe that as an American voting should be sacrosanct?  Isn’t it supposed to be one vote for each LEGAL and LIVING American citizen? I always believed that. Additionally many people have voted several times in several states! Did you know that thousands of dead people, convicted felons as well as dogs & cats actually voted for Obama in the last two election cycles? Amazing!!! How did they do this? It is “Houdiniesque” (my word). Meanwhile, there are several states that want to protect our right to vote under the Constitution by requiring that each voter (ONE vote per person) provide a photo ID and have passed bills into law in their respective state legislatures that require this. Indeed, don’t we have to show an ID to someone almost every single day? Ever try to rent a hotel room or a car without one? How about buying a beer a pack of cigarettes; using a credit card and being asked for a photo ID or cashing a check ANYWHERE without an accompanying photo ID?  Ah, what to say about those airlines, huh? Try getting on a plane going anywhere without showing several IDs along with the added (dis)pleasure of a possible cavity search!

Regardless, the federal government is currently in the process of spending taxpayer dollars in an effort to sue those states. Now I ask you; what is wrong with that picture? And why are WE AMERICANS allowing the FEDS to spend taxpayer dollars to do so? I believe it’s because they (the feds) figure that very few Americans (accept the state being sued) are actually paying attention. So what happens when we, Americans and the states try to correct this or any imbalance or uphold the constitutional rights promised to us in our constitution? We are sued and called racists. This, my fellow Americans is BULLSHIT!!!

I think most Americans have become much too complacent with regard to our government. I think Americans have allowed social pressures to stifle their personal opinions with regard to their beliefs, values, morals, etc…… It is time we stop worrying about what’s “politically (in)correct” and start worrying about the downward spiral  of our country’s founding principles!

The preamble to our U. S. Constitution begins, “WE THE PEOPLE…” not “We the Government…”

Our Declaration of Independence states; “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another; and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.”  I REPEAT; “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.”

So, I ask you, my family, friends and fellow Americans, when will enough be enough? When will the real voice of the American people living in this country today really be heard by our state legislatures, U. S. congressmen (women), senators AND president? And exactly what if anything are we as Americans prepared to do in order to ensure our rights under our country’s founding principles & documents?

I wonder….

UNSPOKEN RULES FOR LIBERALS (by John Hawkins)

UNSPOKEN RULES FOR LIBERALS by John Hawkins/Reprinted from a Townhall.com article dated August 31, 2013

There may be no official rule book for being a liberal, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t rules. There are actually quite a few rules liberals go by and the more politically active liberals become, the more rigidly they tend to stick to their own code of behavior. These rules, most of which are unspoken, are passed along culturally on the Left and viciously enforced. Ironically, many liberals could not explain these rules to you and don’t even consciously know they’re following them. So, by reading this article, not only will you gain a better understanding of liberals, you’ll know them better than they know themselves in some ways.

1) You justify your beliefs about yourself by your status as a liberal, not your deeds. The most sexist liberal can think of himself as a feminist while the greediest liberal can think of himself as generous. This is because liberals define themselves as being compassionate, open minded, kind, pro-science and intelligent not based on their actions or achievements, but based on their ideology. This is one of the most psychologically appealing aspects of liberalism because it allows you to be an awful person while still thinking of yourself as better than everyone else.

2) You exempt yourself from your attacks on America: Ever notice that liberals don’t include themselves in their attacks on America? When they say, “This is a racist country,” or “,This is a mean country,” they certainly aren’t referring to themselves or people who hold their views. Even though liberals supported the KKK, slaughtering the Indians, and putting the Japanese in internment camps, when they criticize those things, it’s meant as an attack on everyone else EXCEPT LIBERALS. The only thing a liberal believes he can truly do wrong is to be insufficiently liberal.

3) What liberals like should be mandatory and what they don’t like should be banned: There’s an almost instinctual form of fascism that runs through most liberals. It’s not enough for liberals to love gay marriage; everyone must be forced to love gay marriage. It’s not enough for liberals to be afraid of guns; guns have to be banned. It’s not enough for liberals to want to use energy-saving light bulbs; incandescent light bulbs must be banned. It’s not enough for liberals to make sure most speakers on campuses are left-wing; conservative speakers must be shouted down or blocked from speaking.

4) The past is always inferior to the present: Liberals tend to view traditions, policies, and morals of past generations as arbitrary designs put in place by less enlightened people. Because of this, liberals don’t pay much attention to why traditions developed or wonder about possible ramifications of their social engineering. It’s like an architect ripping out the foundation of a house without questioning the consequences and if the living room falls in on itself as a result, he concludes that means he needs to make even more changes.

5) Liberalism is a jealous god and no other God may come before it: A liberal “Christian” or “Jew” is almost an oxymoron because liberalism trumps faith for liberals. Taking your religious beliefs seriously means drawing hard lines about right and wrong and that’s simply not allowed. Liberals demand that even God bow down on the altar of liberalism.

6) Liberals believe in indiscriminateness for thought: This one was so good that I stole it from my buddy, Evan Sayet: ” Indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to indiscriminateness of policy. It leads the modern liberal to invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success. Why? Very simply if nothing is to be recognized as better or worse than anything else then success is de facto unjust. There is no explanation for success if nothing is better than anything else and the greater the success the greater the injustice. Conversely and for the same reason, failure is de facto proof of victimization and the greater the failure, the greater the proof of the victim is, or the greater the victimization.”

7) Intentions are much more important than results: Liberals decide what programs to support based on whether they make them feel good or bad about themselves, not because they work or don’t work. A DDT ban that has killed millions is judged a success by liberals because it makes them feel as if they care about the environment. A government program that wastes billions and doesn’t work is a stunning triumph to the Left if it has a compassionate sounding name. It would be easier to convince a liberal to support a program by calling it the “Saving Women And Puppies Bill” than showing that it would save 100,000 lives.

8) The only real sins are helping conservatism or harming liberalism: Conservatives often marvel at the fact that liberals will happily elect every sort of pervert, deviant, and criminal you can imagine without a second thought. That’s because right and wrong don’t come into the picture for liberals. They have one standard: Does this politician help or hurt liberalism? If a politician helps liberalism, he has a free pass to do almost anything and many of them do just that.

9) All solutions must be government-oriented: Liberals may not be as down on government as conservatives are, but on some level, even they recognize that it doesn’t work very well. So, why are liberals so hell bent on centralizing as much power as possible in government? Simple, because they believe that they are better and smarter than everyone else by virtue of being liberals and centralized power gives them the opportunity to control more people’s lives. There’s nothing scarier to liberals than free people living their lives as they please without wanting or needing the government to nanny them.

10) You must be absolutely close minded: One of the key reasons liberals spend so much time vilifying people they don’t like and questioning their motivations is to protect themselves from having to consider their arguments. This helps create a completely closed system for liberals. Conservative arguments are considered wrong by default since they’re conservative and not worth hearing. On the other hand, liberals aren’t going to make conservative arguments. So, a liberal goes to a liberal school, watches liberal news, listens to liberal politicians, has liberal friends, and then convinces himself that conservatives are all hateful, evil, racist Nazis so that any stray conservatism he hears should be ignored. It makes liberal minds into perfectly closed loops that are impervious to anything other than liberal doctrine.

11) Feelings are more important than logic: Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it’s a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don’t “logic” someone out of a position that he didn’t use “logic” to come up with in the first place.

12) Tribal affiliation is more important than individual action: There’s one set of rules for members of the tribe and one set of rules for everyone else. Lying, breaking the rules, or fomenting hatred against a liberal in good standing may be out of bounds, but there are no rules when dealing with outsiders, who are viewed either as potential recruits, dupes to be tricked, or foes to be defeated. This is the same backwards mentality you see in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, except it’s based on ideology, not religion.

THE LIBERTY AMENDMENTS

Excerpts from  “THE LIBERTY AMENDMENTS” by Mark Levin 2013

“Today Congress operates not as the Framers intended, but in the shadows, where it dreams up its most notorious and oppressive  laws, coming into the light only to trumpet the genius and  earnestness of its goings-on and to enable members to cast their  votes. The people are left lamebrained and dumbfounded about  their “representatives’ ” supposed good deeds, which usually take  the form of omnibus bills numbering in hundreds if not thousands  of pages, and utterly clueless about the effects these laws have on their lives. Of course, that is the point. The public is not to be  informed but indoctrinated, manipulated, and misled.”

Not to be outdone, the current occupant of the Oval Office  sees his primary duty as “fundamentally transforming the United  States of America.”

“Notwithstanding Congress’s delinquency, but because of it, an unquenched  President Obama, in a hurry to expedite a societal makeover, has  repeatedly admonished Congress that “[i]f [it] won’t act soon to  protect future generations, I will!”—that is, if Congress will not  genuflect to his demands, and pass laws to his liking, he will act  on his own.”

PROVERBS THEN & NOW

There is an age-old Proverb that reads: “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.” This is true and most of us have lived by this simple truth for our entire lives.

But wait…. here comes Obama and his radical Democrats and this, unfortunately is the new proverb for the new Radical States of America!

“Give a man or woman a welfare check, a free cell phone with unlimited free minutes & free internet access, cash for his clunker, food stamps, Section 8 housing, free contraceptives & abortion, Medicaid, 99 weeks of unemployment checks, free medicine, and he or she will vote Democrat for the rest of their lives – even after they’re dead!” ~dfh

The Neighborhood Zimmerman Watched

pic_giant_072213_SM_The-Neighborhood-Zimmerman_Watched-Sanford-article excerpted from the National Review-

From the start the facts seemed to be of little importance to the prosecution of George Zimmerman, whether at the State’s table in Florida’s 18th Circuit Court or in the court of public opinion.

The forces lined up against Zimmerman worked diligently to bury the background to his confrontation with Trayvon Martin in February of 2012 — namely, the rampant crime, frequently committed by black males, that had put his neighborhood on edge. As the “conversation” about the Zimmerman case and about race in America continues, these widely neglected facts should be exhumed.

George Zimmerman moved to the Retreat at Twin Lakes, in Sanford, Fla., in the summer of 2009. Two years into the Great Recession, the gated community of 260 townhomes was in the middle of a demographic transformation. The neighborhood was built to be a family-friendly option for first-time homeowners just a quick drive from downtown Orlando. The initial average price for a 1,400-square-foot townhouse was $250,000. By February of 2012 it had fallen below $100,000.

Large-scale foreclosures in the wake of the housing crash led investors to rent, rather than sell, the spaces, which brought a new, transient type of resident. The Tampa Bay Times noted that, by the end of February 2012, 40 of the homes were empty, and of those half were being rented.

As the type of resident changed, so did the type of visitor. Eight robberies were reported from the start of 2011 to the time of the Martin shooting, and dozens more burglaries were attempted. Neighbors frequently reported suspicious persons lurking about, possibly casing residences. Many of the suspects were black. In July of 2011 a black teenager stole a bicycle from Zimmerman’s front porch.

According to crime statistics obtained from City-Data.com, the larger community of Sanford had seen a steady uptick in burglaries, from 668 in 2007 to 945 in 2011. Robberies peaked at 199 in 2009, but with 159 in 2011, they remained at rates well above pre-recession years. For Zimmerman’s Twin Lakes community, the statistics were manifest as day-to-day problems — a story chronicled by Reuters in an exhaustive profile of Zimmerman published in April of 2012.

Zimmerman, who was known by local police to be a vigilant watchdog — he called police about once every two months, amounting to 46 times between August 2004 and the time of the shooting — assumed a new role in the community shortly after a particularly alarming break-in. In August of 2011 Olivia Bertalan locked herself and her infant son in an upstairs bedroom when two men — both black — broke into her house to try to steal her television. When police arrived, the would-be robbers fled.

Zimmerman came to Bertalan’s house later in the day, after police had left. He gave her an index card with his contact information and invited Bertalan to visit his wife, Shellie, who spent her days at home taking online classes, if she ever felt unsafe. He returned later with a lock to help secure the sliding backdoor that the burglars had forced open. When she appeared before the court as a witness for the defense, Bertalan said she was “very appreciative” of Zimmerman’s help.

Within a month of the break-in at Bertalan’s, another house was burglarized, and one under construction was vandalized. A group of residents spoke to the homeowner association, and at its request, Zimmerman agreed to coordinate a neighborhood watch with the assistance of the Sanford police. “If you’ve been a victim of a crime in the community,” read the Retreat at Twin Lakes’ February 2012 e-newsletter, “after calling the police, please contact our captain, George Zimmerman.”

That same month, Zimmerman called police after spotting a black teenager peering through the windows of a neighbor’s empty house — not for the first time. “I don’t know what he’s doing. I don’t want to approach him, personally,” Zimmerman told the dispatcher. Four days later, a different house was robbed. Police found the stolen items in the backpack of 18-year-old Emmanuel Burgess — the youth Zimmerman had reported to police just days before. The same boy had been one of the burglars at Olivia Bertalan’s house the previous summer.

The situation in Twin Lakes, Bertalan told reporters later, was frightening. “Everyone felt afraid and scared,“ she told Reuters. “People were freaked out,” she told Reuters. “It wasn’t just George calling police. . . . We were calling police at least once a week.” She says she and her husband talked with Zimmerman daily following the burglary at their home.

Frank Taaffe, a fellow neighborhood-watch captain for the Retreat at Twin Lakes, affirmed that the neighborhood had suffered a string of burglaries that were being committed primarily by “young black males.”

It was against that backdrop of fear and suspicion that Zimmerman and Martin met on February 26. It happened, in Taaffe’s words, during “a perfect storm.”

Anti-Zimmerman forces have done everything in their power to wash away any mention of that storm, because it indicates a much more complicated situation lingering in the background of the Zimmerman case than will fit any convenient narrative. Those who would discuss this case — and its implications for race relations — would do well to acknowledge that.

Atheists Fear the Cross As Much As Vampires!

I really do believe that Atheists fear the cross as much as Vampires.  Indeed, in my opinion the real “vampires” are the socialist-leaning liberals currently leading this once great country of ours right down the path of destruction. Additionally, I think atheists fear God so much that the mere seeing or hearing His name, upsets them! Why? What is it that drives these “non-believers” of any deity whatsoever?

Last Saturday in Florida, a group of atheists unveiled a monument to their non-belief in God to  sit alongside a granite slab that lists the Ten Commandments in front of the  Bradford County courthouse.

FOX News reported that, “as a small group of protesters blasted Christian country music and waved  Honk for Jesus signs, the atheists celebrated what they believe is the first  atheist monument allowed on government property in the United States.”

‘‘When you look at this monument, the first thing you will notice is that it  has a function. Atheists are about the real and the physical, so we selected to  place this monument in the form of a bench,’’ said David Silverman, president of  American Atheists.

It also serves another function — a counter to the religious monument that the New Jersey-based group wanted removed. It’s a case of if you can’t beat ‘em,  join ‘em.

The White House, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, most of the state Capitol buildings in this nation, most of the court and other public buildings in this nation are built as to resemble the old pagan Roman and Greek buildings before the advent of Christianity. In addition to it, many public buildings are decorated with symbols that carry pagan symbolism – Roman and Greek gods goddesses like Fortuna, Justitia, Neptune, etc.  Some court buildings – like the one in Indianapolis – are decorated with the old Roman symbol of a battle ax and sticks, the fascia, the root of the word fascism and one of the symbols of Fascist Italy. Some of the older history textbooks written before 1933, copies of which are still kept at the Library of Congress, have a swastika on the cover; at the time swastika was just another pagan symbol. Our legal theorists write books where they look for legal solutions to the Roman law which was openly religious, based on the myths and the superstitions of the ancient Romans.

And yet, we do not see thousands of Christians spending money and effort and time in legal campaigns to try to destroy public buildings, or efface their decorations. Neither do we see Christians campaigning for purging the Library of Congress or sanctioning jurists for their reliance on the Roman law.

What is even stranger, we don’t see atheists campaigning against those religious symbols in public places. Curious because those same atheists are willing to spend millions of dollars purging the public places from the symbols of only one religion, Christianity; specifically – when those symbols are also connected to the history of our nation. Indeed, historical symbols in America are unavoidably Christian. “This nation was founded on fundamental Christian principles. “Atheists would rather destroy any historical memory than allow for a single Christian symbol to remain.

The situation with the cross erected by Marines at the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base in California is a memorial to four Marines who died while serving in Iraq. An organization called the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers (MAAF) argues that free thinking should not be allowed when it comes to memorial symbols and that all symbols must be without religious meaning, i.e. atheist. It is not clear why MAAF has the word “military” in its name: It was founded and sponsored not by military personnel but by a group of die-hard environmentalists, (SEE). Not a single one of he directors and of the staff of SEE has ever been in the military. But MAAF claims they can speak for the Marines and for those four heroes for whose bravery and service the cross was erected as a memorial.

The cross is a historical symbol, when it comes to a nation which was founded on Christian principles. There is nothing magical about a cross – it doesn’t force anyone’s conscience into accepting any religion, and in itself it can’t produce religious persecutions. In fact, if anything, the cross as a Christian symbol symbolizes exactly the opposite: that religious persecutions are pointless. Jesus Christ died on the cross and yet that did not stop Christianity from conquering the globe. Even the Communists in the Soviet Union were rational enough to figure out that crosses as a historical symbol and monument are not dangerous, and therefore could be left alone.

But American atheists and “freethinkers” can’t think rationally. They have a superstitious fear of anything that resembles a Christian symbol; so much so that they will spend millions of dollars to remove those symbols from any place in this nation. Like the vampires in the horror movies, atheists tremble in fear when they see a cross. The reason for the fear is never clear, and never rational; but then, again, atheism has never been rational to start with.

In fact, there is an even deeper resemblance between atheists and vampires. Just like vampires, atheists are parasites: They can never build their own society; they have to borrow Christian capital. When the West was built to become the most prosperous and just civilization the world has ever known, and when America emerged to become a City on a Hill with liberty and justice for all, there were no atheists around to help build it. It was Christians who made America what it is today. The atheists appeared much later on the scene, only to consume what others have produced. And even today, American atheists never volunteer to go live in societies that were based on atheism – the Soviet Union and North Korea come to mind – but they prefer to stay here, in America, built originally on Christian principles. Just like vampires, atheists have no blood of their own but they like to suck the blood of a civilization created by Christianity.

I say we should keep the crosses. Not because they help us in our Christian endeavors – we are not so superstitious to believe that – but because they sow terror in the hearts of our modern vampires, the atheists. The more these monsters are terrified and scared, the better the chance America will return to its roots and its glory.  GOD Bless America. AMEN. ~ dfh  (Jersey Girl Today)

GET READY TAXPAYERS OBAMA’S FLYING TO AFRICA ON OUR DIME!

king obama 1American Taxpayers could save $60 to $100 MILLION dollars this month if the president could use his big-ass ears & fly like Disney’s Dumbo on his upcoming African trip ~ and he could carry his entire political entourage aboard his very long lying nose while doing so!!!  I, like many Americans are budgeting, counting coupons, cruising for the lowest gasoline prices and trying to save a few bucks anywhere we can while this asshole and his entire lying, thieving administration are running amok! THIS is MY opinion and I KNOW I am not alone in that. BTW… I’m sure we’re being monitored by the IRS, NSA, FBI and whoever the f%@k else ~ so if you don’t LIKE or Reply to this posting, I’ll understand. LOL ~ I’m a  Veteran once proud but now so disgusted with the direction our country is heading toward. I believe that GOD did bless America for a time but now, I think even the Almighty may be ashamed of the path this once GREAT nation is headed toward. I know I am and I’m glad that I am at an age now that I hope I won’t be around to see it’s final downfall. I pray for all my younger family members.

TAXING THE 2ND AMENDMENT!

constitution-300x180Liberals are trying every tool at their disposal this year to go after guns. They have failed on Capitol Hill to restrict the Second Amendment, so they are moving through the states to enact their agenda. The latest maneuver is to hike the tax on guns and ammunition to dissuade the law-abiding from buying firearms. It’s the perfect storm of liberalism – more revenue for a bigger government and fewer people keeping and bearing arms.  President Obama’s hometown of Chicago started the movement late last year by enacting a $25 tax on new firearm purchases, which went into effect on April 1. In February, Rep. Linda T. Sanchez, California Democrat, and 26 of the most uber-liberals in the House introduced a bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code to create an excise tax of 10 percent on any concealable gun in order to empower Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to establish a firearms buy-back grant program. Since the Newtown, Conn., school-shootings tragedy, anti- gun states across the nation have introduced similar measures.

A new bill in the House would prevent this infringement on the Second Amendment. Rep. Sam Graves introduced legislation on June 13 that would make it illegal for states and municipalities to raise taxes or fees on firearms and ammunition. The Missouri Republican’s proposal would also prevent raising taxes in order to pay for background checks. “The Constitution says ‘shall not infringe,’ ” Mr. Graves said, “When you place this outrageous tax on the sale of ammunition and firearms, it’s intended to curtail those rights.” Congress has authority to do this under Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution to regulate interstate commerce, which these taxes suppress. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents the manufacturers, and the National Rifle Association both endorsed the Graves bill, which will go through the House Judiciary Committee. And here – in New Jersey, a bill has been introduced which proposes a 7 percent levy on ammunition sales. What’s with that? Aren’t we taxed enough?

The Obama administration has tried to capitalize on some unfortunate instances to try to slow down the sale of firearms and ammo. The irony is that the pressure to outlaw or control the sale of firearms, it just accelerates sales. It’s like pouring gas on a fire.” The number of FBI background checks were up 27 percent in March, leading to the Senate vote the next month on Mr. Obama’s gun-control agenda. The national instant criminal-background checks were up 20 percent in April.

Liberals love to raise taxes to push their social agenda, whether to push us out of our cars, stop us from smoking, force us to eat low-fat foods or curtail our drinking of alcohol. In their worldview, individuals are not capable of being responsible for their own health and well-being, so they need the nanny state to enforce proper behavior via their pocketbooks. However, unlike cigarettes and martinis, guns are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. The House should pass the Graves bill quickly to show the states that their gun-grabbing scam will misfire!

“I SEE NOTHING! I KNOW NOTHING” REALLY?

*Former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was apparently uninformed by her untitledsubordinates and “knew nothing” about anything going on in Benghazi  before, during & for at least a week after the horrific murders of Americans.

 *FBI Director Robert Mueller says he doesn’t know anything about anything with regard to the FBI’s investigation of the IRS nor does he know anything about why his agents would have showed up at homes & businesses of conservative & religious groups on behalf of the IRS to intimidate them because they had filed for 501C (tax-exempt status).

 *Attorney General Eric Holder has amnesia and lies to Congress as to what he can recall regarding “Fast & Furious”, “Too Big to Prosecute” (HSBC money-laundering for drug cartels & terrorist organizations) and the AP (spying on reporters) scandal. *The AG has also declined to prosecute the Black Panthers for interfering with the 2008 voter intimidation and would like nothing better than to hold civilian trials for the  9/11 terrorists in federal court.

*Former IRS Commissioner Doug Schulmann visited the White House 157 times in a three (3) year period but can only remember the Easter Egg Roll, (which was a total of 3 maybe 4 times). This is a guy that doesn’t even prepare his own taxes because he says the current tax code is too complex!!!  

 *NSA Director, Keith Alexander admits to tracking Americans and says “Trust me”. (I don’t think so, Keith!)

*The president’s Press Secretary, (mouthpiece) Jay Carney lies to everyone and Obama, like TV’s Hogan’s Hero’s Sgt. Schultz; “Knows Nothing”.

 So, I ask my fellow Americans ~ do you think our Constitution is being followed by those empowered by the American voters to protect it; or do you think it is being disregarded? Do you trust the IRS? Do you trust the NSA? Do you trust the Attorney General? Do you trust the President? Do you trust our current elected officials in Washington to actually follow the law AND the U.S. Constitution & the Bill of Rights? Sadly; I do not!

As for our Organizer and Campaigner in Chief ~  If he’s in the know, he’s dishonest. If he’s not in the know, he’s incompetent.  Either way, he’s fucked himself along with the American People!!!
