I have done a complete re-write of one of my pages. I no longer stand as I did on the subject. There is some residual sentiment, but I must default to the kids as well as their health and welfare.
To clear up any confusion, I will be removing the old comments so that we have a clean slate to work with.
This is one of two posts that have been in my head and heart for some time.
I am glad to finally get this one written for a very worthy recipient. I am sure that it is not as cool as other accolades that she has received, but it is deeply heart felt.
The best way to deal with a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.

So why won’t the media give praise to this officer, when they are more than willing to condemn gun owners for one persons actions when it isn’t stopped quickly?
Over the next day or two, I will be going over the Livefyre platform again.
It did not lose out by much when compared to IntenseDebate.
Now that the site is integrated with Twitter and Facebook, it would make more sense to look at Livefyre again.
pros, cons?

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for this deal, as I understand it. But why should we, or Russia, expect or insist that other sovereign nations relinquish their most powerful weapons of war when we hold onto our nuclear arsenal as though we are the worlds conscience? Chemicals weapons are no more destructive, and in many ways less, than nuclear warheads. Chemical weapons are cheaper and easier to produce, which can serve to put smaller countries like Syria on equal grounds with larger countries if war was to break out, is that why we want them disarmed, so we continue to have the biggest stick? Although I think disarmament is a good way to go, this seems like two bullies on the playground threatening an up and coming playmate if he dares to try to fight back. What do you think?
Dog the Bounty Hunter has sworn to bring Snowden back to American, though what ever illegal means he can find.

And just who has offered a billion dollar reward for his return? The government isn’t allowed to hire mercenaries or brake international law in pursuit of the accused, so who is backing this?
Seem Obama has decided to give himself more power over the American people, again. Government control of more and more private industry. This is shaping up to look more and more like “Atlas Shrugged” all the time. I wonder if it has dawned on these guys that when he leaves office and a conservative is elected, that they will wield this power as well, only the American citizens are losing.

A study by the Center for Immigration Studies, as reported by the Washington Post, has echoed reports done during the Reagan administration, proving that immigration is bad for the economy. All job gains since the year 2000 have gone to immigrants, while native born worker unemployment numbers continue to increase. With the current immigration reform bill on the House floor including a “Path to Citizenship for all Illegal Immigrants” should we be inviting in more job seekers when the present population can’t find jobs?

The Supreme Court of the United States has struck down the Defense Of Marriage Act as unconstitutional.

Seriously! Seriously! What the hell have we let this damned Politically Correct bullshit come to? If this isn’t the turning point we are lost as a society, and damned well should be!
