LOOK OUT! IF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF POLITICALLY CORRECT, THE FOLLOWING MAY OFFEND YOU!
It's Sunday, April 13 and I've spent the weekend working on the hottub, trimming bushes, branches and cleaning up my dad's backyard and Angie and I took Cookie for a walk around the block. It's been a beautIful weekend with sunshine, a nice breeze and about 65 degrees. I love this time of year.
We've been working on a flyer for a series of seminars we're going to be doing and in a rough draft, I had something from Proverbs 12:15 that said "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
(KJV)". I was advised by someone reading it that "we might offend someone" if we have that on the flyer. I've been giving that alot of thought and I've come to the conclusion that I don't give a dang if I offend someone by quoting the Bible. In fact, if it offends them that I quote the Bible, then it's best they know that about me from the very beginning instead of after arriving at my seminar. OK - I'm politically incorrect and I don't care. I'm in good company, by the way. There have been alot of people who did not believe in political correctness. They stood up for what they believed in and they were willing to be politically incorrect to state those beliefs. A few of them would be Dr. Martin Luther King, Charleton Heston, Ronald Reagan, Gandhi and Jesus, and the men who signed the Declaration of Independence in our great country. I'm in good company in being politically incorrect, if being politically incorrect means that we have to forget their is a difference in right and wrong and try to be middle of the road so as to not offend. There is a right and wrong. There is light and there is dark and to think otherwise is foolish.
Perhaps it is the fact that I'm approaching 52, but I've gotten to where I have very little patience for political correctness or those hypocrites who say they believe in freedom, yet want to take my freedoms away. I have the freedoms given to me by God and the additional ones granted to me by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
One of those is the freedom to worship my God without getting permission to do so. My sons have that right and they were allowed to pray in school (just like yours are - even if some have been too ignorant to teach them that they have that right). There are some who do not believe we should even talk about God and that's sad. I was very very impressed this last week while watching the American Idol when I saw the 8 remaining contestants singing a song about Jesus. Wow! I know there are some that believe that you shouldn't be allowed to say the name of Jesus on television unless you also mention Allah, Budha, or whatever other beliefs there are. This country was founded on a belief in God, but there is a minority in this country that believe we should cater to them. To heck with them. I am NOT going to hide my belief because they don't agree with it. If they don't like my country - they can get the heck out of it. That's like Michelle Obama saying that for the past 25 years, she hasn't been proud of our country when she said "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country". OUCH! This is a US Senator's wife saying this? I have about as much patience for people like that as I have for Tom Cruise who announced many years ago that he wouldn't raise his children in this country. Why in the world do people who do not like our country or who have not been proud of our country for the past 25 years stayed here? I'll be glad to donate money to the fund to buy a one way plane ticket for them to leave if they wish.
I have the right to be armed to protect what is mine. The quote from the 2nd amendment says "prohibits infringement of the right of the people to keep and bear arms". There are those that want to add words to it. I read that there are some that believe the writers of the amendment meant to say "right of the people to keep and bear arms while they are in the militia". THAT IS NOT WHAT IT SAYS. It says "the people". Guess what? You and I are "the people". It doesn't say "prohibits the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT from infringement of the right...:
There are some that says the amendment doesn't affect the "states' rights" to infringe upon us. Uh - when can the state infringe upon what is our national right? These are the same liberal elitists that believe that we have to have the government protect us from ourselves and that we're too stupid to take care of ourselves. WORDS MEAN THINGS. Those words in the amendments and in the constitution were thought out carefully and they chose those words for a purpose.
So, I have a right to "KEEP" and "BEAR" arms. Again, the elitists are trying to say that they can restrict what kind of arms. If we go back to when it was written, there was several kinds of "arms" from pistols to flintlock rifles, so what gives people today the right to say that I cannot own a pistol when the amendment clearly says that I can? As to "bear arms", what does that mean? The dictionary has quite a few definitions for the word bear (including Yogi and nouns, but I was looking at verbs), which includes: " To carry from one place to another". So, the word bear means that I can carry it, per the 2nd amendment. So - what right does the state have to tell me that I have to take a class and pay a fee to be able to have the right already granted to me by the 2nd amendment? There is only one reason (other than putting more money into the state coffers) why I see that they want us to be registered to carry it or to have one and that is for the same reason why Hitler did it in in 1938. Let's look at what happened in 1938:
On Nov. 8, the New York Times reported from Berlin, "Berlin Police Head Announces 'Disarming' of Jews," explaining:The
Berlin Police President, Count Wolf Heinrich von Helldorf, announced
that as a result of a police activity in the last few weeks the entire
Jewish population of Berlin had been "disarmed" with the confiscation
of 2,569 hand weapons, 1,702 firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
Any Jews still found in possession of weapons without valid licenses
are threatened with the severest punishment."
On Nov 10, 1938, Hitler started rounding up every gun owned by a Jewish person. Finding them was easy. In 1928, a law was put into effect making it a crime to own, buy or sell a gun without registering it. 10 years later, they had the lists of who owned one, so it was easy to send out troops to get them. Germany wasn't the only country that required registration of every gun. So did Czechoslovakia and Poland, so in 1939, when Germany marched in, it was a simple matter for the troops to get the records from the governments and to identify gun owners. They not only picked up every gun, but they arrested EVERY gun owner as a possible future threat. DUH!
On October 16, 1991, Suzanna Hupp, D.C. and her parents were in a Luby's restaurant in Killeen, Texas. Killeen is the home of Fort Hood, so there were probably soldiers and their families eating in the restaurant at the time as well. George Hennard drove his Ford Pickup through the window of the cafeteria, jumped out and started shooting people with 2 pistols and a rifle. Dr. Hupp saw a perfect opportunity for a rear head shot to stop George. He had already killed more than a half dozen people indiscriminately. She reached into her purse as she normally carried a pistol with her, but at the time, Texas law did not allow people to carry guns into restaurants or public places. Her gun was in her car outside. George killed her father and then her mother. He ended up killing 23 and wounding another 20 people that day. There were 80 people in the cafeteria when his truck came flying through the window. Until Virginia Tech a year ago, it was the worst single shooter incident in the country, yet how many people reading this have heard about it? By the way - how many people would have died had Dr. Hupp had her weapon on her? How many would have died had anyone else in the cafeteria been carrying a concealed weapon? We will never know. And some elitist thinks they can tell me that I do not have the rights of the Constitution to have a weapon on me? How moronic is that? It's almost as idiotic, to me, as people who believe that if you outlaw guns that it will make us safer. How can anyone with an IQ above double digits believe that?
I have the right of free speech - even though there are millions of morons in this country that would like to take that away from me - in the name of THEIR free speech. What am I talking about?
If I do not believe that we should hyphenate the word American, then I'm being insensitive to someone. I find it humorous that people are calling themself African-American if they are not from Africa. Word mean things. In fact, I know two African-Americans and interestingly, both are caucasian and neither are black. I know alot of black folks, but I do not know more than 2 African-Americans. By the way, both of them have dual nationality as they have kept their African citizenship and obtained American citizenship. Why do some feel like they have to identify where their ancestors came to American from? Everyone came from somewhere, so why is it so important to hyphenate their Americanism? Should I make everyone refer to me as Irish-Euro-American? That's not a race. There are people in those countries that are caucasian, black, latino, oriental, etc... I agree with Martin Luther King when he said that no one should be entitled to or deprived from anything because of their color, which is contrary to the entitlement programs today, isn't it? So - I will not celebrate White American month, Black American Month or any color American month and I believe that anyone that does is completely ignoring what Dr. King was trying to accomplish.
I also have a problem with people moving to America and refusing to learn English. For me to move to Mexico and expect them to have to learn my language is taking arrogance to a new level. If we are going to take the multiculturalism to it's extreme, then America will not make it another 200 years. I think we'll be fortunate if we make it another 30 at the rate we are going.
When I heard the speech by Obama last week where he was defending the anti-American and anti-white beliefs of his pastor, he said something that I have a feeling that 95% of listeners missed. He said he is looking for a more "equal" world. If you understand the philosophy that is outlined throughout his website, you realize that he believes in socialism or communism - but not democracy. I dare anyone to read his website and book and then tell me that he doesn't want to take from those willing to work harder to give to everyone else. He scares me almost as much as Hillary. The difference is that Hillary has been upfront about her socialistic views, while Obama hasn't. Again - read both of their websites and have a calculator handy and start calculating how much the tax rate will have to be if they get what they want. Also calculate how much we will be giving to the rest of the world - and then decide if the cost is worth it.
Anyway - think about it and don't let anyone convince you that you do not have the rights granted to you by God and our founding fathers. Stand up for what you believe and don't be ashamed of it. By the way - if you disagree with me, please tell me and tell me why you disagree. If you agree - don't be afraid to tell me that also - but beware that if you post it as a comment, then others may see that you are not politically correct also.
