Behind The Good Headline

Last week the mainstream, brainless ones were trumpeting the great news from Weld County District 6 schools.  First, there was going to be a great deal of tax money spent on renovating existing schools or building a couple of brand new ones.  But the bigger news was in the so-called academic field.  More students graduated from District 6 than in years before.  It was a moment of giddy joy.

It's too bad folks didn't grasp the obvious or at least think back a few months to a fateful board meeting that created this event.  District 6 lowered their standards for graduation, thereby guaranteeing a bump in graduation statistics.  If graduation rates had gone down, that would be news.  But when you lower standards, the rates are guaranteed to increase!

Of course, to the outsider, this looks like an improving district.  How convenient.  The news comes just in time for District 6 to push for more money via bond issues, tax increases or other forms of extortion, so they can spend it on buildings, high-tech equipment and other things.  They will tell us that most of their money is tied up in salaries, and they need more.  (That's the case for most sizeable firms, so it's not really news.)  But they haven't proven their case.  Northridge is the newest high school, and they have their struggles despite high technology, a new building, and a commitment to be cutting edge and innovative.  The issue isn't in the money we give them, but still lies in what they do with it.  The charter schools that remain committed to fundamentals in how education is administered and in what is taught do better.  District 6 needs to know that we are on to their scheme.  Graduation rates soar.  The crowd goes wild!  More uneducated kids hit the street.  Now what?

Wrong State

Mr. Obama jetted into Colorado from Las Vegas yesterday on a quasi-campaign stop, to tell everyone how that he was for energy despite his attacks against the Keystone pipeline and other ventures.  However, he should have been in a Georgia courtroom, because the real action took place there.

In a story completely avoided by the lemming, mainstream media, an unprecedented court case opened yesterday with Judge Mahili presiding, to determine the facts in Obama's eligility to be on the Georgia ballot as a natural born citizen of the United States.  Obama's attorney, Jablonski, had contacted the Georgia Secretary of States the night before, insisting the case be dropped, but the Secretary of State refused and the case proceeded with evidence admitted into a court of law as legal proceeding, challenging Obama's qualifications to sit as President of the United States.

Some of the items admitted into evidence included:

• Testimony concerning the Minor v Happersett case before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1875.  This case states defines a natural born citizen as one that has two parents that are U.S. citizens.

• Documents from Obama's father, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, proving conclusively that he was never a U.S. citizen.

• Excerpts from Obama's book (pages 214, 215), "Dreams From My Father."

• Barack Obama's alleged Hawaii birth certificate.

• This was followed up by certified experts testifying to the fact that this birth certificate is fraudulent.

• Barack Obama's social security number from Connecticut (despite the fact he never resided there), issued to him as a Hawaii resident.

• Expert testimony discloses Obama's SSN is flagged on e-verify as fraudulent, and originally released to another person.

• A letter received from an attorney showing a renewal form from Obama's mother for her passport listing Obama's last name as something other than Obama.

After 2 hours of testimony, all of this material was officially entered into court records.  The judge will make a ruling in an unknown timeframe, but he seems to be bound by the Supreme Court precedent established more than a century ago.  If this is the case, Obama may be deemed ineligible for the Georgia ballot.  This would move other state challenges forward and ultimately the case would accelerate up the ladder to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Worse yet, if Obama is not a citizen of the U.S. himself, he could be found to be undermining the U.S. by his own lies and actions.  This could make him a candidate for indefinite detention under the recent NDAA bill passed less than a month ago.  In all reality, what happens from here is anyone's guess.  Court is now in session.  The establishment media has blatantly avoided the event, and deserves to be boycotted at every level.  Liberty is still faintly alive, in one court of law.  Now we wait to see what the ruling will be.

Audit More, Not Less

Every 90 days the vehicle emissions testing stations around the state are audited by the state program.  Republican Senator Steve King (Grand Junction) wants to change the audit frequency to once every 6 months, so that it complies with Federal mandates.  But Weld County Senator Scott Renfroe disagrees.  He wants to keep the audits front-and-center, to keep the heat on the state.  Why?  Because he is still convinced that Weld County air standards are excellent and pollution levels are well-below EPA mandates.  The frequent audits prove his case, and provide an opportunity in the future to try and release this region from the hated emissions tests and fees.

Government frequently puts programs in place and then tries to "fix" them by ignoring them later.  It never works, and the fees and tests put in place are left for you and me to pay for over the course of many, many years.  King has the wrong approach because emissions testing doesn't harm his area.  Renfroe lives here, and he understands.  His committment and stance on this bill, the "red-light camera" bill and others demonstrate his commitment to conservative values, limited government, and pushing back when government intrudes.  It may appear he is for more regulation with this vote, when actually the reverse is true.

Follow Their Lead

Sam knows several people in the Greeley area that have seen their wages undermined by the local illegal community, that works without workers compensation, takes cash under the table, and retains their allegiance to a different nation while taking all of the benefits possible from the local city and state (under a stolen identity, no less).  Perhaps the state of Colorado should follow the leadership displayed by the state of Alabama, in withdrawing the welcome mat for these interlopers.

The old argument has been made that the illegals take jobs that the citizens won't do.  However, Alabama proved that argument to be false.  Since Alabama passed their tough, anti-illegal law in the state the aliens fled for the exits.  At the same time the state's unemployment rate began to fall, dropping 1.2 percent in just three months (September-November, 2011).  Somebody wanted those jobs, and it turned out to be American citizens.  Alabama's unemployment continues to drop, moving below the national average.  And the shift in policy is the leading indicator for the change.

Could it be?  Americans want to work, and they are being pushed out (and have their wages artificially suppressed) by the illegal workforce in many situations.  Alabama had the courage to challenge the lie, and now the truth is revealed.  Toughen the stance regarding illegal immigration and society benefits in many ways.  Colorado needs to follow their lead in this issue, and do it now.

Illegal Love

Grand Junction Republican Tillie Bishop is a RINO.  Colorado taxpayers expect their education tax dollars to pay for the schooling of Colorado citizens, but Bishop is contemplating turning those tax dollars over to illegal aliens.  Bishop is one of seven Regents on the board of the University of Colorado.  Last year he rightfully opposed the same type of measure brought forward, saying illegal students shouldn't be given tuition perks when out-of-state students that are citizens of the U.S. pay non-resident rates.  He was right.

This year however, the board that consists of 4 Republicans and 3 Demoncrats is swinging toward the left, thanks to Bishop.  Now he thinks these illegals need to be given a chance.  So let's get something cleared up right now.  The people Bishop seeks to give your tax money to are residents of other nations.  These nations have colleges and universities, and these students have national, legal status there.  Your tax dollars should go to help U.S. citizens.  In-state tuition is for Colorado and U.S. citizens, not just Colorado residents.  If a U.S. citizen moves to Colorado from another state he or she must go through various steps to gain in-state tuition status, even as a U.S. citizen.  It would be an attack against the United States to give citizens of other nations in-state tuition, when others that are citizens cannot have this same benefit.

This is why the bill before the Colorado statehouse giving illegals in-state tuition benefits must be quashed once again.  Hickenlooper wants it.  UNC President Kay Norton wants it.  Other RINO's, libs and thieves all want this bill.  Furthermore, CU's Board of Regents must kill this issue again this year in their own rulings.  It's not an issue of race, but of right.  There are only so many tax dollars to go around, and Colorado citizens should reap the benefits, not illegal aliens with citizenship status and benefits from their native lands.  Let Tillie Bishop know where he needs to stand.  Apparently he thinks the Republican badge makes him something he's not.  He's sure not a conservative, and he needs to know that RINO hunting is in season.

Obama Supports Genocide

As a U.S. Senator and now as an impostor-President Barack Obama has been supportive of human genocide in the form of abortion.  He has supported all types of abortion procedures including late-term abortions, and has even demanded that people set aside their religious beliefs to support the heinous practice.

This past week Obama said that the 39th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade is a chance to recognize the "fundamental constitutional right."  He also said it would "continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams."  Obama's alleged logic for this type of garbage stems from his so-called commitment that government should not intrude on private family matters.  This viewpoint does not extend to his record concerning internet privacy, freedom of religion and freedom of expression in other areas.  Just abortion.

Abortion is still the killing of an unborn child in the womb.  Scientific research and a generation of studies provide conclusive evidence that abortion is painful, wrong, and has long-lasting consequences.  It must be banned.  Obama supports this genocide.  Ban it!  Others will argue for the women.  Somebody must speak for the child.  This must be the generation that stops this crime before others are killed.

Cut It Off

The "energy" President has struck again.  This week Obama vetoed the Keystone pipeline that would continue a free-flow of energy into the U.S. for environmental and other concerns.  He has waged war on clean coal, attacked oil and natural gas, and given hundreds of millions of dollars to boondoggles such as Solyndra.  These green energy propositions companies that cannot function without government subsidies (e.g., ethanol, solar, wind, etc.) have reaped from Obama's hand, taking your hard-earned tax dollars.  Then the impostor has the gall to block a pipeline, while he calls himself the energy president?  Amazing.

The U.S. Department of Energy was founded to foster energy independence, and bring all types of energy production back into the U.S.  Keystone would have helped this endeavor, not hurt it.  Building new refineries for natural, fossil fuels is a must.  But Obama chooses what he loves and what he hates.  Here's an idea.  Let's eliminate every coal-fired plant on the East Coast, and cut off gas supplies to that region.  Eliminate jet fuel for Air Force One, and force Obama to run around in a Nissan Leaf limosine for awhile.  Sam thinks they would get the message pretty quick about what is working and what is not.

China Roads

ABC News did a recent feature on the fact that many of Obama's "shovel-ready" projects such as road building have provided a significant amount of work...for Chinese.  (Link here for story.)  In fact, the Chinese companies that bid the jobs are bringing in those from China to do the physical labor.  This is no surprise to some around this area that know about Chinese oil and gas drilling units, nor is it a shock to folks around Boise that know China wants to establish a 50 square mile outpost near their city as a trading, sovereign zone.

Some may argue that this is all simply paying the lowest bidder for the job, but there is a larger problem when it's looked at in overall context.  It's as though Obama views himself as king of the world.  He appoints people to positions without congressional support, he establishes fresh czars, he says he's for energy while he destroys projects like the keystone pipeline and clean coal with a stroke of his pen, and he doles out money to his cronies in companies like Solyndra like it's water.

There is a mindset behind these deliberate acts, a mindset that seeks to destroy America.  You and I are paying for this, and Obama must go.  The problem may be the fact that most of the so-called Republican candidates would merely slow the decline and not turn much of anything around.  Perhaps it's time to find the most radical, most conservative candidate many would eschew.  If not, Chinese-built roads may soon come to Colorado.  After all, they are the lowest bidder.

Show Yours First

Yesterday the Obama White House responded to a question concerning the release of Obama's college records and transcripts by trying to spin the issue.  Press spokesman Jay Carney instead insisted on the release of Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney's tax records, stating emphatically that those records should be open to the public as though a candidate's financial status was the only test of qualifications for the presidency.

Of all the nerve.  Obama released a fraudulent birth certificate on the White House website, and has spent literally millions concealing his own identity.

• The passport he used to travel to Pakistan (while U.S. citizens were banned from traveling there) is off limits.

• The vault copy and records linking his birth certificate to any microfilm or original paper is nonexistent.

• His school records from kindergarten through college, including papers, published writings, etc.?  Unavailable.

• His selective service documents?  Under lock and key.

• What about his social security records, compete with a social security number from the state of Connecticut (where he never lived)?  We can't see them either.

These are only a few of the critical issues Obama has spent his millions to hide.  So when he insists that Romney reveal his tax records, Sam has a demand.  Obama must open up first.  This is not to state the obvious.  Romney should not be above scrutiny.  However, when the impostor tries to challenge the others, he must first disclose his own materials.  Fair is fair.  But then again, this is Obama we are talking about.

Elections And Borders

Election season.  It's that time of life when the Democrats tell the U.S. Border Patrol to step up enforcement.  In an exclusive Associated Press article the governmental organization has revealed it will now be tougher this year on detaining and returning illegals crossing the border.  Surprise!  Obama and his cronies are working toward the right so he can appear to be more "conservative."

In other news, the hispanic group "Somos Republicans" has endorsed Newt Gingrich because of his stance on immigration and creating a path to citizenship for some illegals.  He may have a serious voting base in the Southeast that will draw support away from Romney because of this.  However, Gingrich isn't working toward the middle; he was already there.

These are the games that are played in election seasons.  Watch them.  Look at prior voting records and watch who supports various candidates.  Look at how those in office wield their authority!  It speaks volumes.

King's Dream

Today is the annual holiday celebration for Michael (aka Martin Luther) King.  His morality and connections to communism have been debated for years, but the essence of his message was liberty and justice for all.  For that we commend him.

Today, the National Martin Luther King Memorial will be unveiled, delayed after Hurricane Irene roared through the area earlier this year.  Inscriptions in the monument attributed to King have been botched and must be reworked.  As for the monument itself, it was built in China.  Was this King's dream?

So while the nation celebrates another testament to freedom, it is largely a facade.  King would have probably opposed Obama today (after all, he was a Republican), and would have been talking about the ills of the draconian legislation known as NDAA.  He had a dream, and this isn't it.

White Gun

Friday is usually "garbage day," the day in the news media that is an interesting phenomenon.  Readers and news viewers are usually down because people want to go have a good time over the weekend.  So the information some government agencies don't want people to notice is frequently released on Fridays and Saturdays.  This gave birth to the "garbage day" term.  They kick out their so-called trash, and there is frequently some very, very powerful material in it.

One such piece of garbage is yet another emerging scandal in BATF (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms), an operation known as White Gun.  It seems it was used in 2010 (under Obama), and run by Eric Holder, Obama's friend.  What was it supposed to do?  It was supposed to track the flow of guns into Mexico.  However, it is now being revealed that many of these guns once again disappeared.  Imagine that!  One of the main exporters of weapons into Mexico is the U.S. government under Obama and Holder's leadership.  These guns are used against the Mexican government and people, as well as our own.  This is a crime of treason.

We will probably hear about how this was supposed to be a "sting operation," and that it has done much good.  However, keep in mind the fact that the people saying this don't want any of us to have firearms, and want them all registered and tracked by a government that enacts rules without voting, and appoints leaders without congressional approval.  So much for a small and limited government.  White Gun is yet another facet of a bureacracy gone bad.  Look for more news as garbage days release the materials in weeks ahead.

Little George And The Republicans

When so-called 'news man" and political hack George Stephanopoulos was selected to moderate the Republican debate held on national tv, every Republican candidate should have boycotted the event.  His ill-concealed liberal views eventually erupted during the debate, as he began to obsess about pro-life issues and other statements made.  He should have been dumped by all the candidates at the very outset.  Instead, they chose (earlier in the year) to boycott a similar forum moderated by...Donald Trump!

It's true.  Trump has an agenda all of his own, and at times seems to have aspirations and interests in the political arena for himself.  However, that is no different than Stephanopoulos.  The fact of the matter is this.  Many of the questions the conservatives would ask the candidates aren't being thrown at them.  Why?  Because the moderators are RINO's, pseudo-conservatives, or complete liberals.

In all reality candidates like Romney, Gingrich and others don't mind an extremely liberal moderator.  It's easier for these candidates to appear conservative when questioned by somebody farther to the left.  Remember that. It's yet another tactic to try and sway you from your values and steal your vote for someone you really don't like.

Obamney?

He squeaked out a win over Rick Santorum in Iowa.  He won in an Obama state in New Hampshire.  But will RINO Mitt Romney be the Republican choice for President?

• Romney has money.  Besides his personal wealth and the LDS machine backing him, Romney has the support of large, monied power brokers in the nation.

• Romney has experience.  He didn't get to become governor back East without some type of political acumen.  He has also used his previous campaign knowledge to his advantage.

• Romney has personality.  He uses his "clean" image to advantage.  This is especially helpful to the casual voter that merely watches Fox News and thinks it's conservative.

The trouble is this.  Romney will lose a great number of Republicans and conservatives if he is the candidate.  He may well win over Colorado since it has a powerful Mormon political machine anchored by Ryan Call, the LDS head of the Colorado Republican Party.  But he will probably lose conservatives, people that question LDS credibility, and those that know Romney's true colors.  Like John McCain, he's a RINO, a pseudo-conservative.  Ron Paul supporters will bolt for the exits, and they are a large bloc of Republican support this year.  This leaves Romney looking like John McCain, four years ago.  He would be the candidate Republicans put forth, trying to force party faithful and conservatives to swallow a bitter pill once again.  It won't happen.  The Tea Parties and 9.12 groups have had enough.

Undoubtedly the Obama camp is salivating over a Romney victory.  With right-wing demographics like the ones put forth above, it all but guarantees their illegal candidate a victory.  While this may anger some conservatives, it really is a Republican problem.  Obama is not president because there is a great liberal swing in the Demoncrat party, but because there is a distaste for true conservatives on the right.  Many will not vote for Romney.  What does that leave?  More of the same.

You Bought The Phone

Sam knows several impoverished folks in the Greeley area that are stuggling with the economy much like the middle class.  However, he has noticed they seem to have the same amenities as the others.  True, they may live in subsidized housing, pay no taxes, and have food and energy assistance.  But they also have flat-screen tv's, and nearly all of them have cell phones (including many of their pre-teen children).  Where did all of this come from?  The truth is that you probably paid for all of it.

Check out SafeLink Wireless (link here).  They are a government-run organization that gives cell phones to the "poor" and pays for them with your tax dollars.  This is only one of many such programs that take the money from you and your family and give it to others they deem to be deserving of your money.  If your family can't afford a cell phone, that's just tough.  You make too much already.  Are you on a fixed income and retired?  Who cares?  Obama wants to redistribute your wealth.

These are the programs that can be weeded out of government, and quickly.  Helping the needy always works best in the private sector when zero tax dollars are provided.  Until the government gets out of the business of taking your money to make charitable contributions, they will do nothing except create poor, dependent voters.  And they will vote to the left every time.

Drill, Baby

While the Broncos played this weekend there was movement on the other side of the globe that will have an impact on Weld County.  According to Seyed Reza, Sajjadi, the Iranian ambassador to Moscow Russia and Iran have replaced the U.S. dollar with their national currencies in their bilateral trade agreements.  This means that Iran, an oil-rich nation will be able to sell Russia their oil much more cheaply than if they use the dollar (currently the defacto internationally currency unit) in their deals.

This move will put pressure on the oil industry, and make the oil and gas within Weld County more valuable.  It also illustrates the need for true energy independence in the U.S., since China and Japan have already agreed to do the same in their negotiations with Iran.  This was the purpose for the establishment for the Department of Energy under the Carter administration, but they have never done their job.

At the local level, we can probably expect those "evil" oil and gas jobs to thrive.  The local tax revenues will also remain high, which will make the jobs of the Weld County Commissioners and various local city officials easier.  They will have more money to play with.  Oh, they will constantly complain about how they never have enough, and will want more from you and me, but in an odd coincidence it seems Iran and Russia are helping our local economies more than Obama does.  Drill, baby.  Drill.

Enemy Of State

The Washington Times reports the latest update on Obama's escapades in giving away our national security.  He intends to share U.S. missile defense secrets, secrets that you and I as U.S. citizens would not be allowed to know, with the Russian military.  This comes on the heels of his announcement to draw down our military size and spending.  He has no authority to disclose this classified data to Russia (but then again, he has no authority to appoint the latest gang of thugs during a congressional recess either).  This so-called President jeopardizes the entire security of the United States.  (Link here to the Washington Times article.)

On the left (West) coast, the L.A. Times also reports the fact that the Obama administration intends to change the rules regarding illegal aliens.  With the stroke of an executive pen Obama and his cronies intend to allow some illegals to remain in the U.S. while they apply for permanent status.  Let me reiterate once again, this is completely outside of Obama's jurisdiction.  This action must be voted on by Congress before being enacted into law.  Furthermore, one of the serious issues the border security and illegal policies must confront is that of national security.  Again, Obama circumvents his duties to protect this nation with a "rule change."  (That L.A. Times article here.)

Obama took an oath of office to defend this nation from all enemies, without and within.  He should resign.  He is an enemy of state, and is wielding the authority of his office as a tyrant and a king.  If you don't believe me, read the Declaration of Independence, and ask yourself how many of the complaints against the King of England would apply to Obama today.  There are many.  We are a constitutional republic, and as such, Obama's powers are few and limited.  He has overreached every one of them.  The House of Representatives must cut off his funding, and the Senate must stand against him.  Any that do not, should be lumped into the charges of treason that can be filed against him.

If They Do...

On New Years Eve Sarah McKinley was at home with her 3 month-old son when an intruder broke into her home armed with a hunting knife.  Already on the phone with 911, Sarah did a noble thing and protected the lives of her baby and herself, killing the intruder with a shotgun.  The intruders' accomplice was so shaken he turned himself into police.

Today the MSNBC headline about the story reads as follows:  "No charges for teen widow who killed intruder."  You got that right!  No charges.  Should there have been charges in the first place?  No!  But our rights are under assault on every flank in this nation.  Thanks to the work of some great 2nd Amendment organizations there are still laws in place that enable citizens to protect themselves.  The very fact that a headline like the one above is written shows us how prevalent the subtle mindset of the government granting us rights has become.  This young woman who had just lost her husband to a battle with cancer was using her natural rights to defend her life and family.  The very fact that charges would be considered is abhorrent.  They should give the woman a medal for eliminating garbage from the earth.

These notations in the mainstream media denote the shift in our nation.  Tyranny is truly in power when we think the government gives us rights.  However, they are not given by the government, but merely recognized by them.  Sarah's rights were unalienable and natural that night an armed attacker broke into her home, and she used them well.  We thank her for her example.  No charges?  Absolutely not.  She's a good neighor, a solid citizen, and a great mom.

The Views Of This Government...

We have heard the old disclaimers at the front of a program that say "the views of this program are not necessarily the views of this station."  Unfortunately, the views of the U.S. government don't necessarily reflect the views of the average American.

Take the viewpoint on the indefinite detainment of U.S. Citizens that has been debated with NDAA, or the renewal of the Patriot Act.  Most citizens oppose these issues, and yet they passed.  Most citizens want lower taxes and less regulation.  Instead, we get more.  Most people don't want the large, to-big-to-fail banks to be bailed out, and want the Federal Reserve to be audited and exposed.  It doesn't happen.  Why not?

Most politicians will tell us what we want to hear during campaign season, but will vote another way during the time when government is in session.  When challenged they will use several tactics, including telling us that we don't understand how it is "in government."  They try to explain their bad votes.  But the truth is this.  They didn't stand for our liberties when it mattered.

This is when we should vote them out.  If a Republican is voting like a Democrat, he or she is a Democrat.  Period.  If a so-called conservative votes liberal, they are liberal.  Period.  Vote them out.  They might have nice hair, a good personality, and be really kind.  It doesn't matter.  They are in governemnt to do one thing; that is to vote your way.

This is why the views of many in government do not reflect you or me.  We give them a pass.  We buy the lie.  "They intended to vote right," we reason.  But they didn't, did they.  Hold them accountable.  It matters, if you love liberty.

77 Years Later

It's a feel-good story that has spread across the nation.  Minka Disbrow was reunited with her daughter she gave up for adoption after 77 years of being apart.  To her amazement, she has discovered a new family tree that includes a noted Space Shuttle astronaut (her grandson), and other notable people leading strong, productive lives as American citizens.

Minka was raped as a teenager, and sent away to give birth and ultimately give up her daughter to be adopted by a minister and his wife.  The initial crime committed against Minka was heinous, but the fruit has been wonderful.  Minka never stopped wondering about her daughter she called Betty Jane, even though the circumstances that brought her into the world were criminal at best.  Now at 100 years old, Minka's life is full as she spends time with her newly-discovered family and compares notes with her daughter and grandchildren.

If Minka were raped today she would likely be turned over to a large abortion clinic, to be told she was the victim and had a right to divest herself of this piece of flesh.  She would be free to kill an innocent child, and move on with her life as she saw fit.  Minka did move on in life, but she gave birth to an innocent child first instead of creating another death, another victim.  Today all of her children celebrate her long and full life.

The NASA Space program would have missed a valuable astronaut if Minka could have aborted her daughter.  Other solid citizens would have never existed as well.  But Minka came through her time of trouble, and the world is better for it.  It proves once again that the "best" human solutions presented today aren't as good as advertised.  In fact, they are not solutions at all, but murderous, evil deeds.  Life can be precious, even if it begins badly.  It makes this national story what it is today.  (Link here to story.)

When Santa Is A Muslim

Aziz Yazdanpanah, an Iranian Muslim, was known by neighbors as a kind and happy man, a doting father.  He would care for your house when you were on vacation, and was always ready with a smile or a joke for his friends and those in the neighborhood.  He was separated from his wife, and didn't like the dishonor his 19-year old daughter Nona was bringing to the family.  She was dating a non-Muslim, and was happily identifying with American culture and life.

On Christmas morning Aziz walked into the Grapevine, Texas apartment where his estranged wife and family lived, dressed in a Santa Claus costume.  Presents and wrapping paper were strewn about the apartment in cheerful disarray, as "Santa" walked through the door.  Aziz opened fire, killing his wife, his 15-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter, his sister-in-law, her husband, and their 22-year-old daughter as well, before taking his own life.

The motive behind this crime was Muslim hatred for the American way of life.  This man didn't want to blend, assimilate, or respect any other culture except his own.  So in Grapevine, Texas Aziz took the lives of those that were adjusting well to America, proving once again that the drumbeat of Islam is not peace, but death and destruction.  Coexistence between Islam and America is impossible, and there will be more bloodshed before we accept that harsh reality.

The Gun Collector

Thanks to a Greeley Report reader for this news tip.

Recently a Southern California man was put under a 72-hour psychiatric observation for a mental deficiency.  What was it?  He owned 100 guns and allegedly had roughly 100,000 rounds of ammunition as well.  His house also had a secret escape tunnel.  One Southern California idiot television reporter put it this way.  "Wow!  He has about a quarter million machine gun bullets."  (Since when did 100,000 rounds of ordinary ammo become 250,000 rounds of "machine gun" bullets?  This is another stellar example of the idiocy of the mainstream media.)

So, in Southern California, if you have 100 guns and the rounds you like to fire them, you are mentally unstable (unless you are a gang member or a drug dealer that obtains and possesses them illegally).  What if you live in other states?

• In Arizona, you would be an "avid gun collector."
• In Texas you would likely be a "novice gun collector."
• In Utah you would be called "moderately well prepared," but you would also need to make sure you had the proper amount of stored food besides.
• In Montana you would be "the neighbor."
• In Idaho, you might be "a future governor."
• In Colorado, you would be "a conservative."
• In Louisiana you would be "a deer hunting buddy."
• And in many other states outside the extreme left-wing coasts, you would be a good ol' boy.

 

When The Media Lie

Joey Bunch and Kieran Nicholson recently wrote an article in the Denver Post that stated that, "More than 500 children in the United States die in gun accidents each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a 2007 report, which estimated 1.7 million children live in homes where guns are kept."  However, according to CDC statistics for 2007, they report only 112 unintentional firearm deaths, ages zero through 17.  How did this 388 child factual "misprint" occur?

It's simple, really.  Many in media lie, misstate, and skew positions, so that liberal positions may be advanced. The freedom of the press is recognized and protected in the Constitution, but that doesn't mean they always tell the truth.  It's up to the buyer to be aware.  The mainstream press is often corrupt, and like these writers in the post, there are many facts that must be checked out independently if you really want to know the truth.  Elaborate background schemes even occur in fact-checking circles.  Annenberg, a liberal, runs one of the largest fact-checking organizations, and even Snopes, an on-line, so-called fact-checking group is notoriously liberal and has been completely inaccurate in several issues Greeley Report has investigated.

This is why mainstream news readership is plummeting and blog readers and alternative news and media sites are increasing.  People know what is going on, and are thankful to have alternative viewpoints, and access to the truth instead of being forced to read the garbage put forth by those that have been in control of the news.  The Post article on children and firearms did not attempt to put childhood accidental deaths by firearms into any context by contrasting it with other areas of childhood, accidental death or injury.  None of this occurred.

However, because of public outcry the Post was forced to amend their original article.  A postscript was added stating that there are between 1.57 and 1.82 million children that daily live in houses with loaded and unlocked guns, and yet only 112 were killed accidentally in 2007.  Those statistics change the data and the story significantly, even with the liberal sourcing of "Pediatrics" Magazine used for foundational information.  But who cares?  There is an agenda to guard, and idiots to influence.  Let the reader (or viewer, or listener) beware. 

Alienated Rights

If you traveled during this Christmas season and did any flying there's a chance you received a notice in your luggage when you opened it after arriving.  When the Transportation Security Administration opens your luggage they may provide a "notice of baggage inspection."  This tells you that they may have searched your luggage, rifled through your personal items, and looked over everything you carried.  They may have also eaten a third of your cake (according to recent reports) or taken your cupcake as contraband.

How does this contrast with the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights?  It's directly opposed to it.  Laws pertaining to search and seizure state that there must be probably cause demonstrated and that warrants must be issued specifying the items suspected and to be searched.  None of this occurs today in TSA land.  They are the government; you are the subject.  The TSA demands your luggage be unlocked, or they may break the bag to inquire within.  They may single your bag out for unknown reasons, and there is no warrant involved.  In short, the Constitution has been gutted, and you are now a slave.

The TSA insert also thanks you for your cooperation.  What would they do if we didn't cooperate?  They would do the exact, same thing they do now.  You would be forced off the flight, and you would be the problem, even though you operated within your Constitutional rights.  Why?  Because the U.S. government has done everything possible to gut your unalienable rights.  They know that the business men and women that fly every week will moan and groan, but they will walk through the scanners and subject themselves to baggage search and seizure, in order to retain their jobs.  They know that the grandmother going to a funeral in another state will walk through the cancer-enhancing machines, just to get to her loved ones.  They won.

This relegates the Constitution to a mere symbol, hanging on the wall.  The government is a fearful master, and was viewed by our founders as one that needed to be reined in and controlled at all times.  If not, tyranny would exist.  What does tyranny look like?  To Sam, it looks a great deal like a TSA checkpoint, or a baggage inspection tag found in opened luggage.  Our rights have been alienated.  If we don't care, they will take more.

No More Statesmen

Less than a week ago some of the Republican House members decided to stand against Obama's decision to raise payroll taxes.  Now these taxes were set to raise automatically because previous Congressional leaders had only temporarily lowered them.  But now that can was kicked to this Congress, and they wanted to take a stand.  And they did.  For a week.

Now they have caved in to the whims of the major parties once again.  We shouldn't be surprised.  Both parties did this with the debt ceiling debates earlier this year.  Both parties have done this for the sake of political posturing and campaigning repeatedly through the years.  Very, very few Congress men and women are truly standing for America.

Ask yourself whether the person you voted into office is really voting as they told you they would.  They aren't and they won't.  They are not a statesman or woman.  Sad but true.  So as they go home for Christmas holiday with their family, and Obama jets off to spend millions with his spouse, just remember how they vote, how they live, and how they have betrayed you and me.  Real, true change would slash billions from the budget, and instead they posture over pocket change.  Merry Christmas!
