Due to computer glitches and government bureaucracy, widows of our war veterans have been wrongfully denied millions of dollars in government benefits. Oh goodie!

Here's an idea! Let's let this same government run our healthcare!

A Little Gun History Lesson - merrily stolen from Greg

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.

From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents,unable to defend themselves,

were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control.

From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians,unable to defend

themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938.

From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others,

unable to defend themselves,were rounded up

and exterminated.

However in 1943 a group of Jewish men and women

decided to fight back, taking a gun or two over time,

and then attacked the Nazi's, and freed themselves

from the Constentration camp they had been placed

in to work and die. The Name of the Place was called

Sobibor

China established gun control in 1935.

From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents,

unable to defend themselves,were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964.

From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians,

unable to defend themselves,were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970.

From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians,

unable to defend themselves,were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956.

From 1975 to 1977, one million ' educated ' people,

unable to defend themselves,were rounded up and exterminated.

Defenseless people whowere rounded up and exterminated

in the 20th Century because of gun control:

56 million.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia

were forced by new law to surrender 640,381

personal firearms to be destroyed by their own

government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more

than $500 million dollars.The first year results are now in:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 203.2 percent

Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent

Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent

(yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone,

homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.

Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in,

the criminals did not,

and criminals still possess their guns!

It will never happen here?

I bet the Aussies said that too!

While figures over the previous 25 years showed asteady

decrease in armed robbery with firearms,

This has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months,

since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins

and assaults of the ELDERLY.

Australian politicians are at a loss to explain

how public safety has decreased,

after such monumental effort and expense was expended

insuccessfully ridding Australian society of guns.

The Australian experience and the other

historical facts above prove it.

You won't see this data on the US evening news,

or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives

and property and gun-control laws

adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control,

please remind him of this history lesson:

Guns...........We Are 'Citizens'.

Without Them........We Are 'Subjects'.

Note:

Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor

had attended Harvard 1919-1921

& was Naval Attaché to the U. S. 1925-28.

Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor

& our Army had been deprived of funding

& was ill prepared to defend the country.

It was reported that when asked why

Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor

attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland,

his reply was that he had lived in the U.S.

& knew that almost all households had guns.

If you value your freedom,

spread this anti-gun control message to all your friends!

The world is a dangerous place,

not because of those who do evil,

but because of those who look on and do nothing.

"You can have my gun,

when you pry it from my cold

dead hands"

Union kills big 3

UNIONS KILL THE BAILOUT BILL
By
Neal Boortz

Wow! We could have written that headline at the beginning of this mess. Unions seem to take great delight in standing in the way of reform that could possibly save their jobs. Remember when the airline pilot's unions killed Eastern Airlines?

All the unions had to do in order to get the Republicans to go for this $15 billion bailout was to promise to reduce union wages to the level paid to automakers in the Toyota and Nissan plants by the end of 2009. No way. They weren't going for it. So now GM has hired bankruptcy council.

GM is in a better financial situation than the government that wants to bail it out. The only difference between these two failing entities (GM and the government) is that the government can print the money. GM can't.

So where does this lead us? DeMint says that if a bailout passes we are going to see riots: "We're going to have riots. There are already people rioting because they're losing their jobs when everybody else is being bailed out. The fairness of it becomes more and more evident as we go along. The auto companies may be hurting ... but there are very few companies that aren't hurting and they're going to hurt. We don't have enough money to bail everyone out." He's absolutely right .. we don't have the money. Government politicians who are drunk with power think that they will be able to bailout the people that support their power. This auto bailout is no exception.

That leads us to the unions. For months, politicians have been creeping around the real source of this auto bailout: the unions. They know the UAW is the problem but they are too afraid to say it. Why? Because of exactly what I said before: power. But Jim DeMint says, "The primary driver behind this is the unions, because bankruptcy allows the auto companies to basically restructure all their contracts in a way that a bankruptcy judge says will make them sustainable ... And if they do that, then essentially the unions lose all their leverage. It's the unions that have brought them to the brink. So definitely, I think the reason they want a political solution and a car czar is because a car czar can protect the unions through this whole process at the expense of the taxpayer." Makes sense ... so why did the UAW stand in the way of this $15 billion? I'll tell you why. Because they know they can get the full deal as soon as the Democrats take over, without any strong wage concessions. They're betting that GM doesn't pull the bankruptcy lever before PEBO gets sworn in.

Brandborg Love Puppets Pinot rated #1 for 2008

The wine is deeply colored with hues of ruby and purple around the edges. The aromas and bouquet are warm and inviting with candied sour cherries, blackberries, persimmon pudding and spice cake with notes of racy oak toast. The flavors revolve around great dark cherry fruit. The mouthfeel is nothing short of voluptuous. This wine coats the mouth with a warm pleasing impression that lasts and lasts and lasts. There are well integrated very fine tannins that are nicely balanced by refreshing acidity. This wine is the real deal, a very decadent and hedonistic pinot noir. All of the grapes in this wine come from our favorite dry farmed vineyards, all with yields of less than two tons per acre. The resulting structure is phenomenal. 2006 is going to prove to be a fabulous vintage for pinot noir in the Umpqua Valley and this wine represents the best of the grapes we bring in from our diverse growers.

I thought I would repeat something we did earlier this year ... go into Google and see how many hits we get for "___________ Outraged" stories. We'll start with the most outraged group out there ... peace loving Muslims:

"Muslims Outraged" 12,200 hits.
"Christians Outraged" 1,270 hits
"Jews Outraged" 7,490 hits
"Buddhists Outraged" 292 hits.
"Hindus Outraged" 291 hits.

Muslims ... still the champs when it comes to being outraged. Nice to know the postal workers have calmed down.

CONVERT PAULSON'S LAST $350 BILLION INTO TAX HOLIDAY, SAYS U.S. CONGRESSMAN

Press Release : FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 28, 2008

http://gohmert.house.gov/Article.aspx?NewsID=1355

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert

Now this is a statistic that should shock you ... Americans pay over $101 billion in income taxes and $66 billion in FICA taxes every single month. That means that if Gohmert's plan went into effect, there would be over $330 billion in American pockets. That is money that you have earned and money that you can decide where it is spent or saved. You pick the economic winners and losers with your money - the government doesn't get to do the choosing for you. The government can't use it to pay executive salaries for failing companies or subsidize failing UAW contracts. The government won't spend $50 million just to send every American a letter saying that their pithy "stimulus" check is on the way. That's it ... you just stop all federal taxes for two months.
