Obama and His Political Terrorism War on Americans




Stalking my Kids!




Here's the bottom line. They want you to shut up and not give any money. And you're going to give another donation, I understand, to the Romney campaign. But they wanted to intimidate you from giving any money to the campaign and others like you who might be thinking about it. Business people going, "I'm not going to do that, because they'll put my name on the Web and I'll lose customers. So I'm not going to do it." 
 
That's what they -- but that's terrorism. And that's what that is. 


Obama, is not my President. 
Obama is the lowest form of pond scum I know.
I hope history correctly defines him as such!

Wall Street and Responsibility


Hey hey, these guys look like someone I want to hire, don't you think so also?

President Obama said Thursday that the Occupy Wall Street protests show a “broad-based frustration” among Americans about how the U.S. financial system works. So? Obama is the smartest President in the history of our country…Is he saying something that is not obvious?
Speaking at an East Room news conference, Obama said he has monitored the movement, which has spread to dozens of cities nationwide. Good news! Obama is all over this movement huh?
“I think it expresses the frustrations the American people feel, that we had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, huge collateral damage all throughout the country Yes, and Liberalism caused it! and yet you’re still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on the abusive practices that got us into this in the first place,” he said. Well this time Obama is right as rain. He, his administration and the democrats in congress are fighting all the reform efforts by the responsible members of the house and senate. It was the liberal government policies that lead to the housing bust. The “every American has a right to own a house” mentality lead to the feds demanding that banks loan money to those they otherwise would not have. People/loans that were risky were given government backed loans. Banks were told to make those loans because congress said they must or suffer the wrath and penalties of government. Government was behind those risky loans, not the banks! Understand this, the banks would not make those loans, government said they had to and to loan not just the sensible amount after a prudent down payment, but to loan up to 110% of the value of the home! AND…to make this loan to people who were at risk on not repaying the loan. Now, the government wants to blame the banks???
Does it make any sense to you? Banks are going under, government is spending tax money to bail them out, liberals complain about all the money the banks are making and protestors occupy wall street and demand that they give them jobs or raise their wages 2-3 times what they are now…SOMEONE is lying about this whole deal and blaming those you had no choice in the matter. Whatever happened to taking responsibility for your own actions? At least Ford motor company was able to refuse government intervention and they are doing just fine. Go figure.
So, more than 750 people being arrested in a dozen cities nationwide is just fine with President Obama, because their movement “expresses the frustrations” felt by the American people due to the financial crisis. 
 When it comes to the Tea Party, however, with one arrest out of millions of Americans who have gathered at hundreds of events, the president dismisses the movement as “extreme”, motivated by race, and bent on espousing views which are rejected by “a vast majority of Americans.”
So if you violently protest the financial industry that is fine with Obama and his liberal buddies. If you gather to voice your disagree with government policy, you are extremist and racist. Talk about spin!
Kind of like this bummer sticker below...

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

Obama and Lawyers







How many members of Congress? 435 in the House + 200 in the Senate = 635.



199 out of 635 members of Congress were or are, lawyers. That's roughly 31%. That's a lot of lawyers!

The quote below by Thomas Jefferson says it all. Why would we expect it to be any different, almost 200 year later?

"If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send 150 lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, & talk by the hour? That 150 lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected." --Thomas Jefferson, autobiography, 1821

Those same type of lawyers write a healthcare bill that is over 2,400 pages long! Those same lawyers are attempting to ram this law down the throats of Americans, even if the mass majority of the US citizens do not want this bill, law or government takeover of our health care system!

There is one lawyer for every 265 Americans.

It is beyond belief we have that many lawyers, the legal system is absolutely out of control. The lawyers are going to bankrupt the country if something doesn't happen soon. People, be careful and beware of the future, there will be 10,000,000 of these parasites before long, which will equate to thousands and thousands of legal cases just to rob your pocket book and  keep them rich. Lawyers are the problem, not the solution!

If Obama can cap the pay of executives, maybe he better cap the amount of lawyers allowed in America! Perhaps a good way to start is by limiting or cutting their income per year in half. Maybe they would get real jobs then and not make jobs for themselves!

A doctor traveling by car along a country road collides with an attorney who happens to be driving in the opposite direction. The attorney, seeing that the doctor is a bit shaken up, helps him from the car and offers him a drink of Scotch from his hip flask. The doctor accepts, took a long drink and hands the flask back to the attorney, who closes it and puts it away. "Aren't you going to have a drink yourself?" asks the doctor.


The attorney replies, "Sure — as soon as the police leave."

Dealing with Bullies

Bullying is a big problem. It can make kids feel hurt, scared, sick, lonely, embarrassed and sad. Bullies might hit, kick, or push to hurt people, or use words to call names, threaten, tease, or scare them. A bully might say mean things about someone, grab a kid's stuff, make fun of someone, or leave a kid out of the group on purpose. Some bullies threaten people or try to make them do things they don't want to do.
Bullying Is a Big Deal
Bullying is a big problem that affects lots of kids. Three-quarters of all kids say they have been bullied or teased. Being bullied can make kids feel really bad. The stress of dealing with bullies can make kids feel sick.
Bullying can make kids not want to play outside or go to school. It's hard to keep your mind on schoolwork when you're worried about how you're going to deal with the bully near your locker. Bullying bothers everyone — and not just the kids who are getting picked on. Bullying can make school a place of fear and can lead to more violence and more stress for everyone.
Why Do Bullies Act That Way?
Some bullies are looking for attention. They might think bullying is a way to be popular or to get what they want. Most bullies are trying to make themselves feel more important. When they pick on someone else, it can make them feel big and powerful.
Some bullies come from families where everyone is angry and shouting all the time. They may think that being angry, calling names, and pushing people around is a normal way to act. Some bullies are copying what they've seen someone else do. Some have been bullied themselves.
Sometimes bullies know that what they are doing or saying hurts other people. But other bullies may not really know how hurtful their actions can be. Most bullies don't understand or care about the feelings of others.
Bullies often pick on someone they think they can have power over. They might pick on kids who get upset easily or who have trouble sticking up for themselves. Getting a big reaction out of someone can make bullies feel like they have the power they want. Sometimes bullies pick on someone who is smarter than they are or different from them in some way. Sometimes bullies just pick on a kid for no reason at all.
Gemma told her mom that this one kid was picking on her for having red hair and freckles. She wanted to be like the other kids but she couldn’t change those things about herself. Finally Gemma made friends at her local swimming pool with a girl who wished she had red hair like Gemma's. The two girls became great friends and she learned to ignore the mean girl's taunts at school.
Bullying: How to Handle It
So now you know that bullying is a big problem that affects a lot of kids, but what do you do if someone is bullying you? Our advice falls into two categories: preventing a run-in with the bully, and what to do if you end up face-to-face with the bully.
Preventing a run-in with a bully:
Don't give the bully a chance. As much as you can, avoid the bully. You can't go into hiding or skip class, of course. But if you can take a different route and avoid him or her, do so.
Stand tall and be brave. When you're scared of another person, you're probably not feeling your bravest. But sometimes just acting brave is enough to stop a bully. How does a brave person look and act? Stand tall and you'll send the message: "Don't mess with me." It's easier to feel brave when you feel good about yourself. See the next tip!
Feel good about you. Nobody's perfect, but what can you do to look and feel your best? Maybe you'd like to be more fit. If so, maybe you'll decide to get more exercise, watch less TV, and eat healthier snacks. Or maybe you feel you look best when you shower in the morning before school. If so, you could decide to get up a little earlier so you can be clean and refreshed for the school day.
Get a buddy (and be a buddy). Two is better than one if you're trying to avoid being bullied. Make a plan to walk with a friend or two on the way to school or recess or lunch or wherever you think you might meet the bully. Offer to do the same if a friend is having bully trouble. Get involved if you see bullying going on in your school — tell an adult, stick up for the kid being bullied, and tell the bully to stop.
If the bully says or does something to you:
Ignore the bully. If you can, try your best to ignore the bully's threats. Pretend you don't hear them and walk away quickly to a place of safety. Bullies want a big reaction to their teasing and meanness. Acting as if you don't notice and don't care is like giving no reaction at all, and this just might stop a bully's behavior.
Stand up for yourself. Pretend to feel really brave and confident. Tell the bully "No! Stop it!" in a loud voice. Then walk away, or run if you have to. Kids also can stand up for each other by telling a bully to stop teasing or scaring someone else, and then walk away together. If a bully wants you to do something that you don't want to do — say "no!" and walk away. If you do what a bully says to do, they will likely keep bullying you. Bullies tend to bully kids who don't stick up for themselves.
Don't bully back. Don't hit, kick, or push back to deal with someone bullying you or your friends. Fighting back just satisfies a bully and it's dangerous, too, because someone could get hurt. You're also likely to get in trouble. It's best to stay with others, stay safe, and get help from an adult.
Don't show your feelings. Plan ahead. How can you stop yourself from getting angry or showing you're upset? Try distracting yourself (counting backwards from 100, spelling the word 'turtle' backwards, etc.) to keep your mind occupied until you are out of the situation and somewhere safe where you can show your feelings.
Tell an adult. If you are being bullied, it's very important to tell an adult. Find someone you trust and go and tell them what is happening to you. Teachers, principals, parents, and lunchroom helpers at school can all help to stop bullying. Sometimes bullies stop as soon as a teacher finds out because they're afraid that they will be punished by parents. This is not tattling on someone who has done something small — bullying is wrong and it helps if everyone who gets bullied or sees someone being bullied speaks up.
What Happens to Bullies?
In the end, most bullies wind up in trouble. If they keep acting mean and hurtful, sooner or later they may have only a few friends left — usually other kids who are just like them. The power they wanted slips away fast. Other kids move on and leave bullies behind.
Luis lived in fear of Brian — every day he would give his lunch money to Brian but he still beat him up. He said that if Luis ever told anyone he would beat him up in front of all the other kids in his class. Luis even cried one day and another girl told everyone that he was a baby and had been crying. Luis was embarrassed and felt so bad about himself and about school. Finally, Brian got caught threatening Luis and they were both sent to the school counselor. Brian got in a lot of trouble at home. Over time, Brian learned how to make friends and ask his parents for lunch money. Luis never wanted to be friends with Brian but he did learn to act strong and more confident around him.
Some kids who bully blame others. But every kid has a choice about how to act. Some kids who bully realize that they don't get the respect they want by threatening others. They may have thought that bullying would make them popular, but they soon find out that other kids just think of them as trouble-making losers.
The good news is that kids who are bullies can learn to change their behavior. Teachers, counselors, and parents can help. So can watching kids who treat others fairly and with respect. Bullies can change if they learn to use their power in positive ways. In the end, whether bullies decide to change their ways is up to them. Some bullies turn into great kids. Some bullies never learn.
But no one needs to put up with a bully's behavior. If you or someone you know is bothered by a bully, talk to someone you trust. Everyone has the right to feel safe, and being bullied makes people feel unsafe. Tell someone about it and keep telling until something is done.
