Insidious New Gun Control Commercial - Because the Truth Doesn't Work

I saw an amazing anti-American gun control advertisement on TV. It featured terrorist spokesperson Adam Gadahn, an American-born member of Al Qaeda, urging fellow terrorists to buy fully automatic weapons without background checks at gun shows in America.

Of course that is complete nonsense. The terrorist, targeting English speaking people, does not know what he's talking about, but that's OK with the 550 US city mayors* who produced the advertisement. (less than 6 percent US city mayors).

A disclaimer near the end of the video proves the lie of the spoken words.

"Terror suspects can buy semi-automatic assault rifles from private sellers with no background check"

Truth is the first casualty in the Progressive war on American freedoms and this ad proves it. The lie here is designed to gain support for changing the lefts imagined "gun show Loophole". The ad lays that out.

FYI: It has been unlawful to purchase an automatic weapon in the USA without a BAFT permit since 1934 and the NRA supported background checks have been required at gun shows since 1994

The video

*NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, co-chairs of the 550-member Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition gun control production. This should finally prove to any doubters that hizzonor Michael Bloomberg embodies the term RINO.

If you are going to contact your representative in congress, be sure to tell them that you support the Second Amendment to the US Constitution and that sworn (or affirmed) government officials who willfully and intentionally violate their oath of office should be removed from office.

Obsession of the Left - Sarah Palin

The political left in America, who invented the politics of personal destruction, now have a treasure trove of information to dig through concerning Alaska's former Governor, Sarah Palin. Never mind that she holds no political office. Never mind that she is not running for office. They are spending valuable time and energy in an effort to dig up dirt on Mrs. Palin.

They want their followers to help them dig. I post opinions at Huffington Post so I'm on their emailing list. They sent an email, Subject: "Read Sarah Palin's Inbox", asking if I would like to help Advance the persecution.

The email reads in part (entire email below),

"This afternoon, we'll post the documents online and provide a place for you to leave notes on the emails you see." and

"We'll contact you as soon as we have the documents available for you to read. If you want to be among the first to read Sarah Palin's emails and help The Huffington Post write great stories about them, please sign up by following the link below."

While it might be interesting to gain insight into admired political figures; Who has the time to spend on this witch hunt. My guess would be the paid hunters have time and the motive, while their followers will drink it all in.

Sorry, Mr. Soros, I won't be signing up. I don't fear her, or her message, as your people seem to.

I suppose if the left had more time to spend on real issues, they might learn that they have been undermining this country for many decades now, and they certainly do not want to learn that.

GOP Presidential Candidate Huntsman - Not

I was headed to the grocery store this past Saturday when I heard presidential candidate Governor John Huntsman indicate that he supports banning so-called assault weapons on the Hugh Hewitt radio show. I'm sure this will revelation will have an effect on his NRA + A rating.

Of course, the Governor has sent an email to Mr. Hewitt claiming he misunderstood the question.

What?

If he misunderstood the question, then he has no business being President of The United States. I believe over the past three years we have experienced what happens when a president hasn't understood questions. I.e., massive new debt, prolonged high unemployment, programs that depress the job markets and no indication that he has learned anything since taking office.

That question was followed with a question on the Defense of Marriage Act, signed by President Clinton in 1996. His answer was ambiguous while registering his support for same-sex civil unions.

I don't recall the the exact quote, if a candidate mostly sees the government the way you do, vote for him/her. If not, vote for someone else. My hope is that this guy does not win the GOP nomination. Voting for him could be difficult.

What do you think?

Hugh Hewitt show transcript excerpt (from his blog):

HH: Would you veto an assault weapons ban?

JH: I would not veto an assault weapons ban.

HH: Would you veto repeal of the Defense Of Marriage Act?

JH: I personally am for civil unions. I don’t think we do an adequate job when it comes to equality at that level. I am for traditional marriage. I would have to look carefully at the language.

The Governor's assault weapon correction is posted on Hugh Hewitt's blog.

The Democratic Party's Recession

Just a thought, but it just occurred to me that liberals, progressives and Democrats always blame business for screwing over the "working stiff", who they claim to protect and care about. But if you think about, the US Congress, state legislatures and local governments always, always make a grab for your earnings in the form of taxes, fees and penalties. And they never ever find any reason to cut into their own pay.

Lately, they have not only blamed capitalism, but are quick to point out that the current recession started under the previous administration. I believe it is important to add two unchangeable facts to the conversation.

1. The US President cannot appropriate a single dime from anyone, any business or anywhere, without the US Congress first passing a law to appropriate those funds. The president can only veto the legislation if he has been advised to oppose it.

2. The country's, and the world's economy was doing just fine until 2007, when the Democrats took control of the US Congress.

The democrats are still in control of the presidency and the US Senate.

June 2011, the recession continues*.

The Republicans in control of the US House of Representatives cannot make any legislation into law without the cooperation of the US Senate and the president.

We can blame zero percent of this recession and its continuation to Republicans, although they are partially complicit in setting up the playing field for an economic meltdown.

Come November 2012 we will have an opportunity reduce the influence of the US Congress' and this president's failure to understand what they are doing by putting Republicans in control.

* The government's definition of an official recession is not the definition any unemployed person who lost their home and/or life's savings would use. Much like the way the politicians calculate inflation, it is designed to minimize blame on those politicians make and enforce (or not) those laws.
