The Truth About Obama’s Banned Gun List

“You heard him! He said ‘fewer muskets!’ Obama’s gonna take our muskets!”

A Facebook friend of mine recently “liked” an article entitled “Obama’s Gun Ban List is Out!” The specific location of the article he linked to is on the blog American National Militia, but the article’s text is all over the Internet, posted on various pro-gun, conservative sites.   I’m not going to reprint the entire thing, but here is the first paragraph.

“Here it is, folks, and it is bad news. The framework for legislation is always laid, and the Democrats have the votes to pass anything they want to impose upon us. They really do not believe you need anything more than a brick to defend your home and family. Look at the list and see how many you own. Remember, it is registration, then confiscation. It has happened in the UK, in Australia, in Europe, in China, and what they have found is that for some reason the criminals do not turn in their weapons, but will know that you did.”

Before I even began to read the rest or do any research, I knew the article was, if not totally bogus, at least a bit less reputable than it would at first seem.  The last sentence is almost nonsensical and the piece is supposed to have been written by a published author, Alan Korwin.

It’s not just that, though.  The line about the democrats having enough votes is wrong.  Since Republican representatives have been voting almost strict party lines the last four years, any bill proposed would die in the Republican controlled house before it ever gets to the Democrat controlled Senate.

Pat Robertson Excuses General Petraeus

Matthew 15:7-9 “You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

This is absolutely precious.

Pat Robertson. Host of the 700 Club, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, founder of the Christian Coalition, the man who once accused Planned Parenthood of:

“…teaching kids to fornicate, teaching people to have adultery, every kind of bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism – everything that the Bible condemns.”

Pat Robertson also once said this:

“How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy moneychangers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top?”

Well, now he says this of General Petraeus’s affair with Paula Broadwell:

Gun Control Propaganda Deep in the Heart of Texas

Today in Texas, people bought more guns. In other news, the sun came up this morning.

First, let’s be real: President Obama did virtually nothing to limit guns in the US in his first term.  In fact, one could argue that by continuing the debacle dubbed “Fast and Furious” (I say “continuing” because the process was begun under G.W. Bush and referred to as “Wide Receiver” back in 2006,) he actually saw some regression in terms of the weapons on the streets.

With that truth in mind, read this moronic article from the Lubbock-Avalanche Journal (www.lubbockonline.com), specifically from Ariel Kirkland: CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE.

Sharp Shooters Knife & Gun owner Charles Blackwell said his gun sales started picking up right after the election, Saturday hitting a peak with over a 400 percent increase.

Ammunition accounted for about 20 percent of the sales. Blackwell said sales during the hunting season remained steady but the election is what made sales skyrocket.

“It was basically a normal, I would say flat year until the election,” he said. “Saturday was a record day for this store. For a normal Saturday, we were up over 400 percent.”

Where to begin?

First of all,

The President is a Terrible Socialist

One of my many pet peeves deals with the use of political labels because of their common connotations and despite the fact that the term is usually being used totally incorrectly.  Whenever you hear a mainstream Democrat or Republican called a Communist or a Nazi, you can be sure that it is a grand exaggeration. As a matter of fact, see my previous post about my thoughts on the elections, including  how Barack Obama has been called both a Nazi and a Communist and why this is impossible.

Anyway, I digress…

The prime example of this phenomenon where President Obama is concerned has to do with the widely repeated accusation that he is a socialist.

I could go on and on about this, but I would not get the point across (that he is anything but a socialist) any better than this video.

Two Analogies Regarding Taxes and the 1%

This was sent to me by a co-worker:

Before voting this year – please read this!! Be careful how you vote…you may be the 10th person below someday…

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100 and if they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would
…pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.)
So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.” So drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
