Patriot's Day 2012

People were jumping from the highest floors of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Rather than burn to death, they chose a few fleeting seconds of terror. I decided I was not going to post the video of the people jumping, but I did want to remind you. Remind you of a crime perpetrated on America by evil hate filled muslims that to this day still want our Freedom to cease. They still hate us (and Israel) more than they love their children. They still fire rockets into quiet neighborhoods, blow themselves up on buses, set off IEDs as our troops drive by and are still trying to build a nuclear weapon in Iran. Patriot's Day is not a day of service, its a day of recognition, to recognize not only the bravery of our First Responders and Soldiers, but to recognize that there is great evil in the world and very few with the fortitude to kill it.

There is a website called The Religion of Peace that has kept track of (almost) every attack by muslims since 9/11. There they keep a running tally of all the deadly attacks, 19,582 of them to be exact. Every one of those represents at least one life taken, but many are several up to hundreds. We cannot let ourselves be lulled into a feeling of safety. Just because our Military has done an AMAZING job of keeping the jihadist off our shores doesn't mean they are not trying. We have to have constant vigilance, they just have to get lucky. In the gritty but amazing film Act of Valor we see how with some cooperation between jihadis and Mexican cartels there can be terror right on out doorstep. Since the federal government has made no effort to fix the border, the "Act of Valor" scenario is very possible. The other target is Israel, the last bastion of freedom and sanity in the region. If the Iranians are successful in finishing their nuclear weapon the first target will no doubt be our only ally in the Middle East. We already let one Holocaust happen by ignoring evil, are we really willing to see history repeat itself?  

Maybe I sound angry, WELL I AM! You should be too, you should never forget the anger that burned in you as you realized with the rest of America that we were being attacked on 9/11/01. Never forget the rage as you watched the muslims dancing in the streets of some middle east wasteland celebrating our darkest moment and never forget the 3000+ men, women and children whose lives were torn from them in the most violent way. Let that anger bubble up inside you and remember September 11, 2001 the day cowards slashed the throats of flight attendants with box cutters and forced their way into cockpits (that were not locked, reinforced doors cause they didn't have to be) and crashed planes into the symbols of freedom in our Great Country.

They're Coming

Molon Labe,


It should be no surprise to anyone who knows me or regularly reads this blog that I am a gun owner. I believe the 2nd Amendment to be just as important as the first if not more so. (Actually I think the entire Bill of Rights is important and if we lose one amendment the rest will fall like dominoes).  We know that most democrats hate guns, strike that, most democrats hate regular citizens having guns. It is easier to control a disarmed population. When the Obama administration tried some overt gun law action it was trounced and the president told radical left wing activist Sarah Brady about more gun control;  “I just want you to know that we are working on it,” ... “We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.” So again it is no surprise that he president is backing this U.N. Small Arms Treaty and calling it harmless to everyday Americans. But lets take a closer look, Larry Bell from Forbes put it this way, if the US Senate ratifies this "treaty" it will have the following effect;

• Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.

• Confiscate and destroy all “unauthorized” civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).

• Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single “bang” manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).

• Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.

• In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.

Remember what I said earlier, this is two amendments gone in one harmless treaty. Former UN Ambassador John Bolton has warned 2nd Amendment advocates the the U.N. “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.” Obama has been stacking the deck for gun control in his administration and court picks for a long time. When he said "under the radar" he wasn't kidding. Hillary Clinton, Greg Nickels, Andrew Travers, and the highly anti-gun Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor are just a few of the radical gun control advocates Obama has foisted on us. 

Meanwhile the FBI released the official numbers for crime in 2010 and despite the sales of "evil" guns going up since 2008, the number of gun related crimes had gone down for the fourth straight year. In her new book "Chicks with Guns" author Lindsay McCrum says that 15-20 million women in the US are gun owners and proud. She speaks on the stereotypes attributed to guns and women of all ages, ethnicity and social classes love their guns. It's a unique relationship America has with guns, an amazing freedom where as many people own guns for recreation as those who use them for protection. 

There are many who fear guns, most fear what they do not understand, but our Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they gave us the Constitution. They took rights God bestowed upon us and made clearly available to all. That is the reason why 235 years later America is still the shining example of freedom on this planet. 

"So, as we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed, and especially for you, Mr. Obama*: 'From my cold, dead hands!"                                                                                                     — Charlton Heston, May 20, 2000
