“Number one: Stop having children with people who don’t support them” Dave Ramsey is a financial advisor with a radio call in program.In this case, the caller is an unmarried woman who has three children, all of whom were fathered by the same man, who is an abusive, illegal alien and an identity thief, and who does not pay any child support.Ramsey starts out his response with the following:“Number one: Stop having children with people who don’t support them”Here’s my take on this woman’s behavior:George Carlin was right when he said the following:“Think of how stupid the average person is, and...

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of...

GONE FLAT: After 46 years, Ontario's A&W Drive-In, the only location in Southern California with carhop service, is closing April 30. Owners Larry and Sherrill Roan are retiring after devoting more than half their lives to the restaurant at 1267 W. Holt Blvd. With sales down, and corporate interest waning, the root beer specialists can no longer stay afloat. Photo Gallery: A&W Drive-In closing So much for "Happy Days.'' "We sold the property,'' Larry told me from behind the counter when I stopped by to ask about the rumored closing. "It won't be a restaurant,'' he added. "It'll probably be...

So much for "anti-gun hysterics" and predictions of "blood running in the streets," a Second Amendment group says. Nine months after the Clinton-era "assault weapons ban" expired, the FBI has released crime statistics showing a drop in homicides in 2004 -- the first such drop since 1999. The FBI report said all types of violent crime declined last year, and cities with more than a million people showed the largest drops in violent crime. When the Clinton ban on certain semiautomatic weapons expired last September, gun control groups warned that violent crime would escalate, including violence against children. But those...

Here are the bills we need to push hard in the next session of congress! H.R. 153 covers most of the worst abuses of our RKBA, but some of the others certainly need our support as well. There were several other good bills introduced in this session, but ALL of them die in committee this week. I got these of the "Thomas" site, it only took a couple of minutes. Let's put the whole idea of "gun control" into the history books! ------------------------------------------------- Second Amendment Protection Act of 2003 (Introduced in House) HR 153 IH 108th CONGRESS 1st Session H....

In searching the Internet, I found this quote from Killian in 1987. But he die earlier than that? ====================================================== "This is television, that's all it is. It has nothing to do with people, it's to do with ratings! For fifty years, we've told them what to eat, what to drink, what to wear... for Christ's sake, Ben, don't you understand? Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. Listen. They love game shows, they love wrestling, they love sports and violence. So what do we do? We give 'em *what they want*! We're number one, Ben, that's all that...

“The Senators and Representatives shall … in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.” – US Constitution, Article 1, Section 6, Clause 1.

The Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) was the world's first truly effective assault rifle. It was introduced by the German army late in WWII, and if the war had continued another year, the StG44 would have replaced every other rifle, light machine gun, and submachine gun in the Wehrmacht, including the antique Karabiner 98k and MP38. After the war the legacy of the StG44 resulted in the outright replacement of almost every infantry gun in the western world, serving as the direct inspiration for the Russian AK47, the most prolific gun in the world, and the indirect inspiration for practically everything else....

It amazes me how many supposedly intelligent folks continue to parrot the ignorance deliberately being spread by the leftist anti-gun media concerning an accurate and truthful definition of so-called “assault weapons.” The only legitimate and authorized “assault weapons” are those used by military and police in America. They have several firing options, the least deadly of which is semi-automatic single trigger pull firing. This is defined as a shot being fired every time the trigger is pulled, and this type of firing option has been available on American firearms since the late 1800s. Military assault rifles, also used by a...

In the decade since the Long Island Rail Road shooting and the nine years since Congress enacted a law to ban assault-style semiautomatic weapons, the world has changed, according to Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Mineola). And not for the better. That's why she and other gun-law advocates are pressing to extend the assault weapons ban enacted in 1994, a year after the LIRR shootings that killed six and wounded 19. The ban will expire in September unless Congress and the president act. McCarthy, whose husband, Dennis, was killed and son, Kevin, gravely wounded in the shootings, and other backers of the...

George W. Bush and his neoconservative advisers have decided that their best strategy for the 2004 campaign is to focus on the "doctrine of preemption." The obvious goal is to portray the president as a hero in the war on terror, conveying the notion that he is the one who is able to keep America safe. Unfortunately for Bush, his position on the assault weapons ban may cause his reelection plans to unravel. Many conservatives currently feel comfortable backing Bush for a second term. For one thing, he cut taxes, and the economy is on the rebound. He has shown...

The “Gun Show Loophole Closing Act of 2003” is scheduled to be introduced tomorrow – Halloween, appropriately – by Sens. JohnMcCain (R-Ariz.) and Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.). And, according to an email sent yesterday to certain Senators by Jim Kessler of “Americans for Gun Safety,” the pair will offer the bill as an amendment to S. 659, the gun industry liability protection bill, which could be on the Senate floor as early as next week. About a week ago Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) and the Republican leadership agreed that S. 659would be one of a few pieces of legislation...

An Angels Camp man charged with possessing several illegal firearms said he will prove that federal law gives him the right to have them. What's more, said Richard Wilmshurst, he plans to sue California agents who searched his house. He claims they violated his civil rights and took some of his property, including a gold bar, during the search. Wilmshurst, owner of 49er Subaru in Angels Camp, was arraigned, cited and released in June on three counts of possessing an assault weapon and eight counts of unlawful assault weapon activity. His preliminary hearing in Calaveras County Superior Court was continued...
