I am simply a conservative American

This was shamelessly stolen from Brigid over at Home on the Range - wonderful!

I am not one party any more than I am one stereotype. I am the face of one American. How I think may not be the way you think or others think, but then again, when I step in that voting booth it is only my hand pulling the lever. And I will pull it, believing in these things.

If I don't like guns, I do not own one.

I don't demand you hand yours over.

---

However, I believe that the lawful, proficient possession of a firearm makes me smart.

I don't think it makes me a potential killer of the innocent.

---

If I want the things my neighbor has, I work harder.

I don't demand they "share the wealth".

---

If I make a mistake, I try and own up to it.

I don't blame it on some conspiracy.

---

If I don't like what someone, brave enough to speak with their name behind it, says, I don't listen.

I don't demand their silence.

---

I do not believe that my color or gender makes me better than you, any more than being a minority makes someone noble or victimized.

I don't believe any group should have special advantages to make up for wrongs of past generations.

---

I believe that if you can't read a ballot in the English language, you shouldn't get to decide who will be running the most powerful nation on earth for the next four years.

I don't think illegal immigrants should ever have a vote.

---

I believe it takes two loving people to raise a child.

I don't believe it takes a village.

---

I believe in Peace Thru Superior Firepower

I don't believe we can all get along.

---

I believe that government is here to provide the freedom to pursue my goals.

I don't believe that government is here to make sure no one is in need.

---

I believe I should be empowered to work out my own problems.

I don't believe someone else should solve my problems for me.

---

I believe if you want to dine on tofu that's perfectly all right.

I'll be having the steak though.

---

I believe the right to pursue happiness means the right to fail.

I don't believe bailouts of the greedy and the inept are a solution.

---

I think that jobs, college quotas and promotions should be based on ability, work ethic and merit.

I think discrimination against a while male is as abhorrent as discrimination against a black female.

The ONLY bonus points in hiring should be for veterans. Period.

---

I wish to live in a country founded on the principles of our founders, God, Trust, Freedom.

I don't wish us to be more like Europe, just with bigger parking lots.

---

I don't believe health care is a human right.

Man's primary right, the right to his own life, establish all others, including the rights to select and pursue his or her own values, and to dispose of these values, once gained, without duress. That includes power over who I see for any medical care and who decides what care I can get.

---

I think you can politely disagree with me and that is Freedom of Speech.

I don't think because someone disagrees with me they are automatically an idiot. That always remains to be seen.

Merry Christmas !

Twas the month before Christmas

[Credit to Old NFO]

Twas the month before Christmas

When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
See the PC Police had taken away

The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say

December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was nowhere to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!

For your religion could be next...

Republicans Kind of Suck …

Because in the Democratic land of epic, mega, ultra, apocalyptic levels of sucking, those who kinda suck are king.

Frank Fleming has a great article on Pajamas Media.

Socialists Within

There are 70 members of Congress who are registered members of the Socialist Party of America.

Time to clean house!

Please, Remember...

The Root of the Matter

"The root of the matter is this: we have been ruled by men who live by illusions: the illusion that you can spend money you haven't earned without eventually going bankrupt or falling into the hands of your creditors; the illusion that real jobs can be conjured into existence by Government decree, like rabbits out of a hat; the illusion that there is some other way of creating wealth than hard work and satisfying your customers; the illusion that you can have freedom and enterprise without believing in free enterprise; the illusion that you can have an effective foreign policy without a strong defense force, and a peaceful and orderly society without absolute respect for the law. " - Margaret Thatcher, 1978

She is just as right now, as then.

What the socialists haven't quite figured out is that they have already run out of other people's money. Very soon will come the revolt.

A Glimmer of Sanity

"I would remind the President of the United States that he is not the leader of a party or an ideology; he is the leader of our country—one founded, not to emulate others, but to inspire the world."

- Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, MI
That's exactly what I would like to remind Obamanuts!

Nuff said...

Gee, Ya Think?

The Nuts are at it - again!

The nuts are running the nut house again!

These anti-Christ Christmas idiots just don't get it. If they manage to that Christ out of Christmas, you are left with just another day. There would be no Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, winter holidays, or any other holiday season.

Christmas time is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ - plain and simple. Without Him, there is nothing!

......sigh....

Is the Climate Change Threat Real?

Is Climate Change at risk of destroying the globe?

I don't think so.

In light of the recent revelations that the AWG proponents were fudging the numbers, or cooking the books, should cause everyone to question the whole 'settled science' issue. I think we all can think back on quite a few 'settled science' that eventually was proven not to be fact. Flat earth? Sun orbits around the earth?

Even if Climate Change is a real threat, it is probably not worth the effort to try to mitigate the effects. It has been estimated that to make any effect would require NO green house emissions for at least 143 years - just for a 0.7 degree reduction in global temperatures, not to mention the Trillions of dollars removed from the global economy. Destroy modern civilization or destroy modern civilization. Hmmm. Would it be worth it? I think not.

I'm not a proponent of polluting the planet. Growing up in Southern California I remember the blankets of smog choking the LA basin when there was no rain or wind for several days. That's not a good thing. Efforts to mitigate those polluting effects have been and are worth the effort, but to destroy modern civilization in order to save modern civilization seems to me not to be a desirable goal. Kinda like smashing out your car windshield because of the possibility of it getting a chip or a crack in the future.

There is an excellent, laymen's terms article over at Bore Patch explaining the problems with the Global Warming Climate Change science: Should you be a Global Warming Skeptic?

And what's with the name change?

The Slow March to Socialism

Skeet Shooting - Texas Style

This is how skeet shooting is supposed to be!



Wish I had one.

Someone in the Media finally gets it

Time to Put An End to Army Bases as Gun-Free Zones

John Lott of Fox News even got it right about the handgun that Maj. Hasan used in the shooting.

I do agree that we should finally trust our service members and allow either open carry or licensed concealed carry on military bases, or at least follow the local area laws that the base is located.

Remember, when seconds count, help is only minutes away.

In Honor of Veteran's Day

This video will give you goose bumps!

These 5 little girls are just awesome!

This may give you some idea of what most veterans or service members feel when they hear the National Anthem, or salute the flag - it does me.

I spent 21 years defending my country. I never served in combat, but I was always willing to do my duty. If that meant losing my life, then that was my duty. I am still ready - without hesitation! Without this great nation, I know I would not have the wonderful life that I have been blessed with.

Being a service member allowed me to see many parts of this world. I learned a lot about different countries and their people and customs. I was able to meet and learn from many wonderful people. It also allowed me to realize and appreciate first-hand that there is no better place to live than right here in the United States of America.

God Bless the U.S.A.

We Must Choose Now!
