Obamas view of Public Housing


The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners. The people that live in the house did not earn the house, but were loaned the property from the true owners, the taxpayers. Because of this, the residents do not have the "pride of ownership" that comes with the hard work necessary. 

In fact, the opposite happens and the residents resent their benefactors because the very house is a constant reminder that they themselves did not earn the right to live in the house. They do not appreciate the value of the property and see no need to maintain or respect it in any way.


The result is the same whether you are talking about a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion full of priceless antiques. If the people who live there do not feel they earned the privilege, they will make this known through their actions.
The picture below illustrates the point.










The Resolute Desk was built from the timbers of the HMS Resolute and was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes. It is considered a national treasure and an icon of the presidency.

Mr. Obama, you are not in a hut in Kenya, or public housing in Chicago. With all due respect, get your
damn feet off our desk!


Better yet, just leave...this Nation!

Why do I carry a gun?

PEOPLE ASK WHY? Why Carry a Gun?

My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.'
    I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
    I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
    I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
    I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
    I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
    I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
    I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
    I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
    I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
    I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
    I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.  Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

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, yes, 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 them of this history lesson. With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.     


During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message to all of your friends.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE. 
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT'S A NO BRAINER!
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

Self Defense


Self Defense

Never let someone or thing that threatens you get inside  arms' length and never say I got a gun.  If you feel you need to use  deadly force, for heaven’s sake let the first sound they hear be the  safety clicking off and  they shouldn't have time to hear anything after that if you are doing  a good job.
 
  And my favorite: 
'The average response time of a 911 call is over  3 minutes....the  response time of a .44 magnum is 1400 feet per  second.'    

Shooting advice:  Clint Smith,  Director of Thunder Ranch, is a drill instructor  (Thunder Ranch is a  firearms training facility in    Arizona   ).  Here are a few of his observation  on tactics, firearms, self defense and  life as we  know it in the  civilized world.
 "The most  important rule in a gunfight is: Always win, and cheat  if necessary." 
"Don't forget,  incoming bullets have the right of  way." 
"Make your  attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with  it, 'cause it's going  to be empty."  

"If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not  loadin', you should be movin'; if you're not movin', someone's gonna  cut your head off and put  it on a stick." 
"Do something. It  may be wrong, but do something." 
"Shoot what's  available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes available." 
"If you carry a  gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If  you have a gun, what in the hell do you have to be  paranoid for?" 
"Don't shoot  fast, unless you also shoot  good." 
"You can say  'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think  will work, but  I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at  someone's head is pretty much the universal  language." 
"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems.. How long you live, depends on how well you do it." 
"You cannot save  the planet but you may be able to save yourself and some other people." 
"Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or until  someone makes us go away, and either way, it will be exciting." 
More Excellent  Gun Wisdom........ 
The purpose of  fighting is to win. There is no possible victory  in defense.   The sword is more important than the shield, and  skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. 
1. Don't pick a  fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight,  he'll just  kill you.  

2. If you find  yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck. 
3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy. 
4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes  away. 
5. A reporter did  a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers.  The reporter  recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying  and asked him 'Why do  you carry a .45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because  they don't make a  .46.' 
6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.  

7. The old  sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady  commented on his wearing  his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol.  Are you expecting  trouble?' 'No ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I  would have brought my  rifle.' 
8. Beware of the  man who only has one gun, because he probably  knows how to use it very well. 
'The true soldier  fights not because he hates what is in front of  him, but  because he loves what is behind him.'
G. K.  Chesterton 
  

A people that  values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both. 
"Those who hammer  their guns into plows will plow for those who do not...."  -  Thomas Jefferson

Americas Obituray?

Dr. Walter Williams

             

Obituary-Very Interesting!
Born 1776, Died 2008
 
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
 
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:
  • Number of States won by: Obama:19 McCain: 29
  • Square miles of land won by: Obama:580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
  • Population of counties won by: Obama:127million McCain: 143 million
  • Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Obama and Osamas heaven


 Great e-mail so I just had to post it :)

When Osama bin Laden died, he was met at the pearly gates
by George Washington, who slapped him across the face and
yelled:  "How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!"

Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and
shouted:  "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed."

James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said:
"This is why I allowed our government to provide for the
common defense!"

Thomas Jefferson was next; he beat Osama with a long cane
and snarled:  "It was evil men like you who inspired me to
write the Declaration of Independence."

The beatings and thrashing continued as George Mason,
James Monroe, and 64 other early Americans unleashed
their anger on the terrorist leader.

As Osama lay bleeding and in pain, an angel appeared.

Bin Laden wept and said: "This is not what you promised me."

The angel replied: "I told you there would be 70 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What did you think I said?"
