Gun Owners of America Endorses Vicky Hartzler for Congress
From GOA, via email:
September 21, 2010Also see: "Is Ike Skelton 'a steadfast supporter of freedom'?"
Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Vicky Hartzler for Congress in Missouri's Fourth Congressional District.
Vicky served in the state legislature from 1995-2000, earning an A+ rating for her unwavering support of the Second Amendment. She is just the type of person we need to stand against the anti-gun agenda of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The incumbent representative, Ike Skelton, has shown his true colors in the current session of Congress by repeatedly siding with Pelosi on issues important to gun owners.
Three times in 2009 he voted against amendments to repeal a gun ban in national parks, while at the same time voting to massively expand the amount of federally controlled land.
And in 2010, Skelton voted for a bill that would strangle the First Amendment rights of groups like Gun Owners of America. The so-called DISCLOSE Act would impose a host of new restrictions on groups like GOA, effectively limiting our ability to hold individual congressmen accountable in the weeks leading up to an election.
Missouri's gun owners and sportsmen expect their elected officials to represent their interests, not those of the liberal House Speaker from San Francisco.
That is why Gun Owners of America stands with Vicky Hartzler. She will oppose any and all gun control schemes that come to the House floor, and she will fight to remove unconstitutional gun laws on the books.
Vicky gets it right when she says, "Only the people have Liberty -- Washington's power is on loan."
GOA urges all gun owners and sportsmen to get behind the Hartzler campaign by volunteering, putting out a yard sign, and contributing to this important race. You can visit www.vickyhartzler.com for more information.
And most importantly, please remember to vote for Vicky in the November election, and make sure your pro-gun family, friends and neighbors do the same.
Sincerely,
Tim Macy

"We ask you to explain what you want from us, what we should try to publish or not publish, so we know what to expect," it added. [More]What can you expect?
You can expect to be slaves, used or disposed of as the monsters whose boots you lick wish. It seems a role you have accepted.
How can you change that?
Demand freedom. Kill your oppressors. Make them stop.
You'll need some tools to get started that your rulers don't want you to have.
They're trying to take them from us, too, and using your sorry lot as an excuse, but we won't let them. And because we have those tools, and because there are enough of us, they're afraid to try it all at once.

"I felt threatened by her," said Jones. "She had threatened me and I told the police that. And she was threatening my family at the time of that incident. I just reacted to what she had done." [More]So I murdered her. "Execution style."

We're the Only Ones Incredible Enough
Just seven months after the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office concluded a year-long undercover drug sting that nabbed nearly 100 suspects, and six months after his office received an award for the operation, Sheriff Greg Champagne said the District Attorney's office will have to drop the charges against approximately 60 of the suspects because the credibility of the lead deputy in the case has been compromised.

And "frustrated" ain't even close to how some of us feel, too, pally.

"The thought that a victim's body would somehow be used as a lure ... I don't know who could ever see it as a lure, that's almost gallows humor," he said. "To have an autopsy be used as a premise for a social engagement is just beyond anything anybody could imagine." [More]Yeah, every time I tried to arrange my dates around dead victims, I never seemed to get anywhere.
This, along with the "sexting" charge and its circumstances, really is a window into the soul of those who view us as things to be exploited, is it not? And they're only "considering" removing this twisted creep?

A Take Out Order
Promising Results?
It used to be a given on the street: Get caught with an illegal gun, go to jail.But what if you're not "a thug"--and who the hell are "Only Ones" to be tossing that term around anyway? What if you're a human being who knows you have an unalienable right to keep and bear arms, that no one has true moral authority to grant or withhold "permission," and that the entire concept of "gun restrictions" against anyone able to move freely through society--that is, anyone not confined to a controlled custodial situation because they have been adjudicated a danger to others--is a fraudulent assault on Liberty...?
But under a new program in Birmingham -- one initially derided by some officers as a "hug a thug" rehabilitation effort -- there is another option: Gun Court. [More]
I guess it all depends on how you look at things.
Some--the "enforce existing gun laws" crowd--see a promise.
Others of us see a threat, realizing that's exactly what the government was doing at Ruby Ridge and Waco.
Why Not Just Give 'em What They Want?
While people should still act menacing if they see a coyote, they should avoid ones that look sick or mangy, Connors said. If faced with a violent one, you should "make yourself bigger," and "back away slowly," he said. [More]And...trust your child's life in that circumstance to a hoplophobe with an air horn?

Worthy alleged that Calhoun displayed a handgun and forced the victim to perform multiple sex acts, and beat the victim with a belt about her body and choked her. [More]Sounds like he sure knows how to court a gal.
Besides, how are we gonna know if she's worthy if her own kinfolk can't vouch for her?
And it's nice to see the judge is Jolly.
