Have Fun - Leading by Example

Teachers and school boards just can't seem to get the message: America-has-become-the-no-fun-nation
Is the President leading the way?

Petition Collectors - Think before you sign

We all see them at the grocery stores. And sometimes I talk to the petition collectors. It is often entertaining and also often disheartening in a scary, privacy offending, constitution-bending way.

This guy is anti-gun, so he only pushes one side of the issue, even though he has competing petitions in his hand.

Lots of Unfulfilled Promises

Obama in his own words

J. Christian Adams with Ginni Thomas

J. Christian Adams is a talented lawyer who worked inside Eric Holder’s Justice Department until he could take it no longer. Here, Ginni Thomas interviews him about how the DOJ and the current administration are changing the way the law is applied, for the worse. This is an important discussion because it bodes badly for our basic freedoms and the original intent and survival of the Constitution and the Founders vision.

Part Two: J-christian-adams-doj-using-the-law-to-punish-opponents-video

Christian reminds us that Obama said, "I want to fundamentally transform America."

Part Three: How-being-objective-and-neutral-at-the-doj-is-high-heresy-video

Christian talks about how the people who work at DOJ are corrupted by the agenda. “One of the things I was brought in there to do was to simply be objective and neutral, but see, that’s high heresy. They don’t want people who are objective and neutral. They want people who are part of the orthodoxy, so during the Bush administration, a very small number of people were brought in and it was like an anti-body in the system. The left went absolutely wild. They had congressional hearings. They could not abide by people who were willing to enforce the law to protect everybody.”

UN Arms Trade Treaty Will Destroy 2nd Amendment

President Obama is getting ready to sign the UN's ATT, on which his administration changed allegiance in April and joined the rest of the tyranny loving countries on the latest crusade to destroy the civil right of self defense worldwide, not to mention freedom of ownership of private property. This is a summary article from NRA and Washington times:

The U.N. Comes After America's Guns - The White House readies to sign the Arms Trade Treaty.

The true scope of the anti-firearm crusade of the United Nations, which began more than a dozen years ago, finally is coming into clear focus, as the White House readies to sign the Arms Trade Treaty adopted with U.S. support this past April by the U.N. General Assembly. The reach of this long-term, carefully crafted agenda is truly breathtaking, going far beyond the publicly articulated goals of even the most radical of homegrown gun-control groups.

Since the first major U.N. meeting in July 2001, officially launching the so-called “Program of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects,” this bureaucratic behemoth on the banks of the East River in New York City has been attempting to stretch its tentacles into the domestic regulation of firearms. If the administration of President Obama signs the Arms Trade Treaty, the U.N. will have taken a major step toward its ultimate goal — regardless of whether the treaty is ever submitted to the Senate for ratification.

According to experts familiar with this process, the mere act of signing the treaty — a responsibility that would fall to Secretary of State John Kerry — would “obligate” the U.S. government as a signatory not to act “contrary to” its terms. Those “terms” are, to quote Ross Perot, the “devil in the detail” — found not only within the four corners of the document itself, but in companion, foundational documents on which it is based.
For example, a 2006 U.N. report (authored by an American academic, Barbara Frey) lays out with frightening clarity where advocates of the approach reflected in the Arms Trade Treaty are coming from.

According to this Eurocentric worldview, there is no “right” to self-defense, and the national government is obligated to restrict civilian ownership of firearms, including determining which citizens properly “understand” firearms and might, therefore, be permitted to possess them.

Another important but little-known set of documents that reveal the true purposes of the treaty were crafted by the U.N. Coordinating Action on Small Arms. These include the International Small Arms Control Standard, which is developing “modules” on gun control to serve as “model legislation” for countries that sign on to the treaty. The most relevant of these is the one titled, “National controls over the access of civilians to small arms and light weapons.”

One need read no further than the introduction to this missive to understand its goal. The operative focus is strict regulation of civilian possession of firearms by the “central” or national government. This is necessary because “some civilians misuse small arms” by using them illegally or “improperly stor[ing]” them. The document bases this notion of government control of firearms and ammunition on “international law” — an inaccurate interpretation of such body of laws, but one that fits conveniently the U.N.’s agenda.

From this global perspective, the International Small Arms Control Standard module then directs, in excruciating detail, the manner in which national governments should restrict access to firearms and ammunition:

Restricting civilian possession of firearms only to those “at the lowest risk of misusing them.”
Limiting sales and other transfers of firearms only to commercial transactions at licensed “sales premises” (in other words, no transfers at gun shows).
Only persons licensed and periodically re-licensed by the national government could possess firearms.
All firearms must be registered with the national government.
All persons wishing to possess a firearm must pass a rigorous exam administered by the national government.
All firearms must be stored in locked containers separate from ammunition, and “bolted to a heavy or immovable object.”
Only a predetermined number of firearms and rounds of ammunition may be possessed by a properly licensed civilian.
Magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds.
Possession of a firearm may only occur after a seven-day waiting period.
No civilian could own or possess a firearm for self-defense unless he first demonstrates a clear and convincing need.
Individuals licensed to own firearms are subject to periodic and random inspections of their homes or businesses.
In order to be granted a license to possess a firearm, an individual must secure recommendations from “responsible members of society,” attesting to their “suitability to possess a small arm.”

The above list is by no means exhaustive of the restrictions in the U.N. model legislation, which is designed to limit the possession of firearms and ammunition to the smallest possible number of civilians, and it provides clear insight into where this process is going. If Congress fails to take swift action to prohibit the administration from implementing any part of the Arms Trade Treaty or taking any action pursuant to it, we now know exactly where we are headed.

Issa's Obamacare list

Congressman Darrell Issa with his list of reasons not to stop Obamacare

Thanks to: http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/08/congressman-darrell-issa-comes-up-with-list-of-reasons-not-to-stop-obamacar

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) made a list of reasons to not stop Obamacare. He checked the list twice, found out who was naughty and nice and then took a photo of himself with the list and tweeted it out to his followers. I’d say that Congressman Issa hit a homerun with this one. Well done!

Ethics and Government - Eminent Domain out of control in CA.

Ethics and Government - Eminent Domain out of control in CA.

Here's the story: You own an burger restaurant in West Fresno. The original owner was an Italian immigrant who built a good business 50 years ago. He sold it to his nephew and his son, who sold it to you in 2004. You continue to make the same excellent burgers and your clientele likes the food. It is a good business. The most expensive thing on the menu is $5.95. The car clubs visit regularly. You work hard everyday for the American Dream.

One day in August 2013, a woman comes into the restaurant and says, "Don't be mad at me, I am just doing my job." She hands you a big package of papers. You are confused. Then she says the State of CA now owns your restaurant and land. The High Speed Rail Authority needs it for their boondoggle train.

Oh yes, she says you will get $100,000 for the property and another $20,000 for the business. And you have to leave by September 15, 2013.

One more detail. You and your wife came from Cambodia at ages 17 and 19, escaping the Pol Pot regime with your lives and looking for the promise of freedom from tyranny. Two young immigrants chasing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Now the State wants to take it all. And not even give you fair market value or enough money to rebuild your business. They won't even let you take the neon sign.

What do you do?
