Thoughts on various issues

Good news on two issues!

First, Mark Steyn wins a judgement against him in a Canadian court. He was taken to task about negative remarks made concerning Muslims. His book, "America Alone", has been widely discussed by many that I've run into. He's an excellent writer and denotes facts about Muslim communities in various countries. If Canada had found him guilty of non-other than offending Muslims (seems everything offends that crowd), it would have been a direct hit on free speech. Glad he won!

Secondly, the Supreme Court made the right decision to follow the Second Ammendment of the Constitution. Yes, private citizens are allowed to own and carry weapons. If it weren't for the bleeding hearts of the judicial system, we wouldn't have perpetual felons out on the streets. Law enforcement officials will tell you it's not their job to protect you. They are there to enforce the law. With all the hardened criminals running loose, law-abiding citizens need the capacity to defend themselves. I don't always agree with the Supreme Court, but this ruling was definitely necessary.

Read an article where Muslims in the UK are offended by sniffer dogs trained to assist law enforcement officials. Well, excuse me, but I imagine there are some dogs that are offended by the lack of bathing by some of those people. They demand foot baths, but how about bathing the whole body? I feel for the dogs on this one.

On to Obama - I see where the AFL-CIO has endorsed him. No surprise here, now he has access to their funding, which is tremendous. He tends to associate with those that are less than law-abiding, and here is another corrupt group supporting him.

If you think the country is in a recession now, just wait. If the mighty chocolate (as Spike Lee mentions) Messiah becomes head of this nation, we'll be in a full-blown depression. He will hike payroll taxes (elliviating jobs). He wants to tax households (not individuals) that bring in more than $250K annually. This is a large portion of the population with two people working. This is the upper middle class (not the super rich) that support this country every day. Once this Marxist practice is implemented, you'll feel the rewards of a totalitarian government, which his parents and church have instilled in the Messiah himself. He's no different from Hillary, just more personable in his manner.

Oh, on an educational note, Obama wants your tax dollars to pay for more government-funded schools for children from 0-5 years of age. Why should I (with no children) continue to pay for publicly-funded schools that aren't teaching children what is needed for them to compete against the other industrialized nations? It's called indoctrination at the youngest age.
