Barack Obama hates the fact that you can own guns. But he despises the fact that you can freely buy guns and ammunition even more. So when his administration made up facts stating that 90 percent of the weapons used by drug traffickers in Mexico came from the U.S. were challenged, he decided to fix that.
Obama's ATF agents began two operations. One, known as operation "Fast and Furious" sold firearms to known murderers and criminals from Mexico. These weapons were later used to kill a U.S. border patrol agent. Now, the Obama administration is stonewalling and hiding, because their hands are bloody.
The second scandal, Operation "Castaway," actually did the same thing as the first. It allowed U.S. weapons to be sold to criminals in other Central American Countries. These firearms have been used there in murders, and have been traced back to the Obama administration's bloody hands. Does anybody remember the controversy with Oliver North and the Iran-Contra issue? That was huge news. Why is the media trying to bury this story? Because Obama is their friend.
Fortunately, a local organization is hunting down the truth and spreading it around the world. The Windsor-based National Association for Gun Rights (link here), is pressing for the truth. They operate with a much higher level of integrity than the NRA, and it shows. NAGR is now the fastest-growing gun-rights organization in the nation, and they are pressing Obama for details.
One organization states that this ATF scandal could be Obama's "Watergate." That debacle started small, and many remember how it ended for Nixon and the Republicans. We can only hope the same ending for the liberals, Democrats and thieves. They are the ones colluding to destroy gun rights with false data, international gun sales, and an attempt to destroy the second amendment. They hate America. Let's see what else they have done to destroy us from within. (Link here to article on Operation Castaway.)
I'm a libertarian. You should be free to do what you want, so long as it doesn't hurt me. You should be free to alter your own consciousness. I would never advocate permitting those who are under the influence of any mind-altering substance to operate a car, just as I would never advocate prohibiting an employer from refusing employment to someone whose ability to work is impaired by the use of such a substance. Amazingly, this is exactly how we treat alcohol, which does infinitely more damage in our society (as do motor vehicles, guns, unhealthy foods) than marijuana. I don't use marijuana, but I've observed plenty who do. They're pretty benign. I enjoy alcohol, but I must say that many who do behave terribly while under the influence of alcohol. That's not a good reason to outlaw it.
You can call me whatever you want, but I'm for freedom. You apparently are not. That's fine. We each get one vote.
And, don't be so coy about describing this impending revolution. How will it happen?

Shirley/Bobby J,
You sure your not rabid liberals?
Posted by: Dennis | July 21, 2011 at 05:58 PM
Shirley,
Illicit drugs are illegal, as is pedophilia; my point being, just because you disagree with a law does not reverse it.
You really think doing illicit drugs is OK? That explains a lot.
Revolution: There are MANY true Americans that are not going to continue to take this BS from this administration, or from the left continuously cramming socialism down our throats. It will stop; one way, or another.
It's been 25 years since I last broke the law and consumed illicit (mind altering) drugs. My mind has never been clearer. Can you say the same? You cannot pull the wool over my eyes. I know what that crap does to your brain. That's why they call them "mind altering".
As far as "not affecting" anybody but the participant: do you do drugs in the presence of children? Do you drive while under the influence? Do you have a job (I wouldn't want to work next to a burned-out pothead when my safety is at stake, because I've been a burned-out pothead)? Where do we draw the line on what occupations require a sharp, and focused mind (don't all employers want that)?
Posted by: Dennis | July 21, 2011 at 05:56 PM
Wow, Dennis. Your'e comparing legalizing the use of pot to the legalization of pedophilia? Whatever you smoked did serious damage to your ability to reason. And do you think it's the government's job to prohibit behaviors that are harmful to only the individual engaging in that behavior? If so, I'd like to have a look at what you eat and whether you exercise.
Try this again: If the American people, knowing all they do now about Pres. Obama, reelect him in 2012, you predict a revolution. Please describe this revolution and why it would be justified.
Posted by: Shirley | July 21, 2011 at 07:51 AM
If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist, you will need to find someone else in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot!

Ron Paul clearly explains what is happening with the national debt and raising the debt ceiling.
It's like I said, whether you're on the giving or receiving end of the government dole you are trapped to the peril unless you understand how it works.
Please watch this short video.

Bobby J,
I am surprised! You are a pothead? That shit is proven to cause psychopathic behavior. I would be careful if I were you. I used to smoke it. Since I quit I think much more clearly and feel healthier. You shouldn't smoke anything. Bad.
You know there's this group called NAMBLA (North America's Man/Boy Love Association). They think pedophilia should be legal. How are you different concerning your stand to legalize illicit drugs?
The worst thing about illicit drugs is the culture that comes with them. Get out of that crap. You seem like an otherwise intelligent person.
I'm glad you have Christ. The Old Testament is just as relevant as it defines why Christ is.
Tyrant Fighter,
I will say this; if the money we spent on "stimulus" were spent securing our Southern border, then our unemployment rate, crime rate and drug problem would all drop like a stone. This would have actually provided a return on investment.
On the other hand- we should probably keep the borders we have.
And- we are at war with Mexico. I a very big way; however, the American people are being -mislead/lied to- by the administration and the media (including FoxNews) about what is actually happening. The "fast-and-furious" gun scandal is just the very tip of the iceberg.
It has something to do with the "revolution" Shirley.
Posted by: Dennis | July 20, 2011 at 06:16 PM
Tyrant Fighter,
You lash out against all except the man in the mirror. Government also has this bad habit.
You mix so many issues it is amazing you can think straight.
Pick an issue and stick with it.
1. Drugs/prohibition/legalization
2. Border control/immigration/free travel/walls lock in and out
3. War/agression/defence
If you read the following article in its entirety, you will change your attitude towards drug prohibition.

Bobby J you wouldn't know anything about the Word, seems your thought process is mixed with not near enough of that vitamin THC. That sovereign country is and has been invading the US for the last 20 years non stop. I see you have offered no solution to anything and probably don't realize that our southern border being closed will not stop the influx of illegals. One only has to look at the 19 mile border between Hong Kong and China, and even death of millions being killed for trying to escape to a country with a free market did not slow down the influx of millions of Chinese. Hence if the country of Mexico condones the killing of our citizens and their own so be it.. the problem goes away??? We would have to fix Mexico in order for them to remain and in order to fix Mexico the U.S.A. would have to be further diminished to a 3rd world country (which it is fast becoming) The drug prohabition is not working other then to allow the US to have the Worlds highest incarceration rate. Non violent victimless crimes are not what this is about, the free market will continue to encourage illegals into crossing and collecting welfare, and section 8 housing, and FREE health care. In the mean time 95% of all homicides in LA are comitted by illegals, and how are you going to stop that when legal resident of that state cannot legally carry a firearm. You sure can spout some shit and yet offer no solution whatsoever. Satan knows the Word better then most Christians, and I believe that he has invaded your being.

I filter my water yet rinse with fluoride; you should try it as your teeth look like hell.
I do not drink soda or any other crap. Just filtered water and homebrew made with filtered water. The remainder of my water intake comes from daily fruits and vegetables, you should try it and maybe you will heal. Although your healing will be difficult since you obviously do not consume any vitamin THC or daily word...
Aspertaine, probably less harmful than the big pharmaceuticals you pop.
America cannot invade a Sovereign Nation such as Mexico just because you think it is the solution. You want war, just try it. Please get a the correct declaration from Congress before you agress.
Drug problems are created from prohibition, remember alcohol prohibition, which was a smashing success.
Stop funding terrorist by creating drug profit with prohibition, you moral collectivist!
Posted by: Bobby J. | July 20, 2011 at 09:35 AM
Bobby J come up with a better solution ,as for creating a war , in case you haven't realized it yet, We are at war. There is no stopping illegal immigration from our current border, or drugs, or killings which are in the vicinity of 35,000 in the past 6 years. How many muslum terrorists have infiltrated this country now? I know you can't answer that, and neither can the state department. My solution would bring about jobs and create wealth and STOP illegal immigration, and what is your solution? Why does the main stream media evade these stories, because they are ordered to. Please put your Kool-Aid down and take a sip of reality. Quit drinking the flouride laced water, and aspertame from your soda, and let your mind heal a while.

The 2nd. is more than guns. The citizen militia needs jets, surface to air and all the other goodies. Only then would gov be scared straight once again.
They have so many weaponns, our tiny guns are trivial. They fit into the same group as the automobile and fireworks. It is something we do on our own therefore they hate it.
Posted by: Bobby J. | July 20, 2011 at 07:49 AM
Tyrant fighter,
You have went off the deep end. Your last post makes you the tyrant who needs to be fought.
Prohibition creates drug cartels.
Invading other nations creates war.
Posted by: Bobby J. | July 20, 2011 at 07:45 AM
All this and yet there are those that will vote for this man again for President. Personally, they must be brain dead.............
Posted by: greeleygirl | July 20, 2011 at 07:40 AM
We should invade Mexico and march right through and take that country and add a few more states. Then the narrow southern border would be a much more viable option to defend. That would put an end to the drug cartels and allow the US citizen to buy ocean front property. Give all the veterans from Iraq and Afganistan work, and think about the jobs created.
Posted by: Tyrant Fighter | July 20, 2011 at 07:38 AM
Please describe that revolution. I sure hope a better GOP candidate emerges than present in the current collection of no-hopers. Sure would be nice to vote for someone and against Obama.
Posted by: Shirley | July 19, 2011 at 07:30 PM
Truly Concerned,
I agree with with you 100%. I promise you that if obama is elected, then there WILL be revolution.
Posted by: Dennis | July 19, 2011 at 06:56 PM
Your parallel to the Iran-Contra scandal is uncanny.
There's more here than meets the eye. I'm telling you that, not only are the liberals attacking our 2nd Amendment, they are trying to influence the balance of power in Mexico.
Mark my words!
Posted by: Dennis | July 19, 2011 at 06:54 PM
How did this happen you ask.
I'll tell you . . . It happened because everyone in this country is either on the government dole or is trying to get there via one sort of handout or another.
How is it fixed? That won't be easy because the whole ball of wax needs to be brought down and we need to start over. I have my doubts that can ever happen without mankind going back in time, impossible, or by severely culling the herd.
Here's what I mean. How do you change the mindset of a people who have been engrained with a way of living, a type of governance, a brand of religion for hundreds of years? Those ideas and principals have been handed down for generations. That's all they know. Changes are tried and tested, they take along time. It doesn't just happen overnight unless through conquest and force.
When you hear our politicians talk about reform they are speaking about changes taking decades. They say Medicare, Social Security, and entitlements can't be just pulled from people. And they're right, that would bring more economic calamity because people have planned their "golden years", retirement, around those programs. If they were pulled, it would put half the population in the poor house and the spending power of those folks would cause the economy to tank. Current workers would lose jobs because nobody could afford to buy products from their companies. If you change the programs and cause them not to be there for current workers they will resent paying for something that won't be there in the future for them. That is the rub with government workers.They receive a higher pay than private sector workers and so the government has set them up as a special class because their pay and pensions are paid by private sector workers taxes, workers making less money and benefits, who in the end can't retire or do so with a much lower living standard than the public sector workers.
So, it sets up a state of mind that everyone wants to be on the government dole. But that can't happen either because there needs to be private sector workers, those who are actually slave labor workers, to support the system for the rest or the rest need to find a way to support their own programs in the market place. THERE IS NO OTHERE WAY!
So what's happening? The market needs to be free to operate effectively and that is in direct opposition to the government -those that want to rule and do so by dictates. Those dictates are laws. They make laws you can't do this or you must do that. And there goes freedom. Not just for the private sector workers, but for government workers too.
Who in their right mind believes the government wouldn't overtime decide once they controlled all workers they could then start treating them all the same! No more higher pay and pensions for government workers. They will work and live just like the private sector workers with mass housing, medical treatment, food availability, and transportation. The government would have to do these things because one, thats all they would think they could afford and two, to setup ranks within the class would cause revolt. This is proven throughout history and is happening today in many foreign countries.
This country and the idea of freedom that we espouse to will be forever lost to the next generation unless each and everyone of you change your perspective from the inside out. As a country we have reached a maturation by falsely believing our political leaders. You are seeing the MATRIX. It is up to you to decide what to do.
Take the Red Pill or take the Blue Pill.
You must get rid of your progressive socialist thinking!
The first step is to fire Obama.
He is not of this country!!
Posted by: Powerball | July 19, 2011 at 11:25 AM
"They hate America." Agreed. Everything thing this evil clown/puppet, spendthrift, liar-in-chief has done since the day he usurped office has been to undermine the best interests of my country. He is on a mission to destroy this once-great nation, and he has been obscenely, unabashedly aided by the lapdog media and deep-pocketed puppeteers.
I am of the opinion that he (and anyone else in collusion) should be tried for treason and punished accordingly! How did we allow them to get this far?
