LaPierre warned of a host of looming threats and catastrophes, including terrorists slipping across our porous southern border, convicts released from overcrowded prisons, and thousands of illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds, whom our government has seen fit to release into the general public.

This is all true. We have *lost* the war on terror. My kids' schools are like prisons: all the doors are locked except the front door, and you cannot get in unless you check in through the office. The kids have regular "lock down" drills, where they have to find a hiding place in their classroom. This disgusts me, but also reminds me of the bomb drills when I was a kid, where we would find safety from a nuclear bomb by hiding under our desks.

Otherwise, nothing new here. Another peace-and-love moron who doesn't understand the mindset of someone who has decided to kill other people.

When the government spies on the American people through numerous government agencies, while working over time to not offend Muslims, of course Americans are concerned!

When the government spends hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to train and arm every government department employees including Social Security Administration, of course Americans are concerned!

When the President and US Congressmen use the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to attack and destroy Americans they do not agree with politically, of course Americans are concerned!

When this government highlights certain shootings and then ignores mass shootings in liberal socialist controlled inner cities to call for the disarming of Americans, of course Americans are concerned!

When those government stooges demand Americans be disarmed while using armed security to protect themselves, of course Americans are concerned!

What the left needs to learn is “respect” of the American people (majority) who are individualist, who work hard, take care of their families, and are armed to defend themselves, their families, and their fellow Americans! What the left fails to understand is “Respect” is earned and not demanded by others!

Salon continues to disrespect Americans simply because they are armed and believe in their own individualism and not this out of control government! On day, very soon, Salon may understand what “respect” really means to most Americans!

Stay safe my fellow Americans! Always consider the source when ever the left writes stupid articles like the one above!

If it wasn’t for Free Republic, I wouldn’t know such a thing called “Salon” existed. I suspect most Americans never heard if them,either.

It’s a publication that has a few leftist that boast and brag incessantly about how much smarter they are than the average folks

The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again!!!

Are we ready for this?

Australian Gun Law Update

Here’s a thought to warm some of your hearts....
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia
Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 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!)

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady
decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.

Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in ‘successfully ridding Australian society of guns....’ You won’t see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.

The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note Americans, before it’s too late!
Will you be one of the sheep to turn yours in?
WHY? You will need it.

AUSTRALIA: MORE VIOLENT CRIME DESPITE GUN BAN

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

John Adams

The secular left, as can be seen through their propaganda organs such as Salon, denies that there is a God, or that there is such as thing as moral absolutes.

The left denigrates individual initiative and self-reliance. It advocates and advances a socialist economic and social system. Socialism by its very nature is built upon the overt and institutionalized violation of the Ten Commandments that forbid coveting and theft. This is because socialism is the belief that society will be better off when government forces everyone to live at the expense of everyone else.

Every human is endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights at conception by the Creator. Secularists like those at Salon deny there is a Creator, so they deny the very existence of those rights. One of those rights is the right to self-defense, and that implies the right to possess and use means that enable that right.

I am sure the folks at Salon cherish their right to write and publish any outrageous thing, such as the article in question. But how far would they get if government said they could write anything they want, but that they could not possess the means to print or to publish it? It would be like allowing a person to hold any religious belief but that they could not express that by any action. #BakeTheCake.

Salon can say thing they want, but that cannot change the facts. The world is not all peace and harmony. And governments are not always respectful of their citizens or their Constitutional boundaries. The writers and readers of Salon are free to go about unarmed and completely vulnerable. They are free to be totally dependent upon government for protection. They are free to be willing victims. They are not free to prevent me from holding a different opinion and acting on it.

To put it otherwise, today’s classroom is an aberration of a republic, a goverment reeducation camp where sheeple are stripped of traditional values and learn to behave as liberals / socialists

“Can anyone think of any Liberal concept that works?”

Simple.

Trickle up economics.

The actual wealth of the nation is being transferred to the top 1% while the rest of the population is moved into poverty.

I know it’s not what you expected but creating a 2 tiered society, the haves and the have not’s, is the objective of trickle up economics.
