Barack Obama’s commisars in Missiouri went overboard when they threatened to use government power to suppress views opposing his stated proposals. As reported by World Net Daily several Missiouri officials, St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill” were all a part of this blunt attempt at stiffiling free speech.
This is yet another example of why a completely new political party is so desperatly needed if this nation is to survive.
A BIG Hat tip to Texas Fred! For finding this story! 😀

This week’s Outrage comes to us courtesy of U.S. Representative Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) who recently lashed out at Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin (R) while trying to muster support for anti-gun Presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Hastings has a well-deserved reputation for opening his mouth and speaking his mind. But this week, when he opened his mouth, he put his foot into it. Way into it.

Campaign and DNC Launch Assault On First Amendment!
Earlier this week, NRA-PVF released a series of radio and television spots to educate gun owners and sportsmen about Barack Obama’s longstanding anti-gun record. In response to the NRA-PVF ads, a clearly panicked Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are doing everything they can to hide Obama’s real record by mounting a coordinated assault on the First Amendment.
They have gone to desperate and outrageous lengths to try to silence your NRA by bullying media outlets with threats of lawsuits if they run NRA-PVF’s ads. They have sent intimidating cease and desist letters to cable operators and television stations, threatening their FCC licenses if they run the ads.
NRA stands behind the accuracy of these ads, and NRA attorneys have responded to the Obama campaign’s despicable and abusive attempt to trample on the First Amendment by sending a thorough rebuttal to station managers. This rebuttal clearly and conclusively refutes the Obama campaign’s fallacious claims that the ads are inaccurate. For more information, and to see the letter, please click here.
To learn the truth about Barack Obama’s anti-gun record, please visit www.GunBanObama.com. This website is loaded with features and information that you, as a gun owner, need to know. This is a must-see website that you will want to pass along to anyone you know who loves freedom and supports the Second Amendment. While you’re there, don’t forget to take the “OMatch,” compatibility quiz to see if you and Barack are a match.

If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.) |

OBAMA

If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that ‘Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.’)

The National Rifle Association gets it right…for once! Look folks, I am a Life Member that has not donated a penny to them in years. Why? Because they sell out Gun Owners seemingly at every opportunity, that is why! The list is long… More so, for at least the least twenty years or so, the NRA has been a fund collecting organization more than anything else. Now, don’t get me wrong, but if you give money that you work your behind off for, then that organization should at least defend what you believe in! They might as well be televangelists!
Yes I know, sometimes compromise is warranted. But never for ones base values, never. I happen to believe that the Constitution of the United States of America immense value, and that does include the “Bill of Rights.” Some say that it is a document written by “Old White Men.” Meaning that it, and it’s idea’s are outdated,m and worthless. I believe just the opposite. I believe that the “FOUNDERS” were brilliant men and that their ideas spread across time for the benefit of all mankind.
Those beliefs are being challenged by a politician. He is an abomination of the American political system, period. The National Rifle Association has stepped up to the plate and smacked a home run on this one. Go to
http://www.gunbanobama.com/
Perhaps the NRA has seen the light? One can only wonder I suppose. The Constitution says that GOD given rights, will only be suspended to an individual for felonious conduct, or serious mental disability. So why I ask, does the NRA support such things as the Brady Bill, The Lautenberg Act (s), and the United States Government attacking it’s own citizens at Waco Texas, and Ruby Ridge for example?

Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,

Tax his drink,

Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways To tax his
_ss.
Tax all he
has
Then let him know
That you won't be
done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and
hollers;
Then tax him some
more,
Tax him till He's good and
sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my
doom..."
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Thank you so much for your activism!
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives opted to pass Representative
Childers' D.C. gun ban repeal instead of the anti-gun bill sponsored by Del.
Eleanor Holmes Norton -- which would have allowed D.C. to continue enacting
gun control.
The bill now goes to the Senate, but unless there is a ton of pressure put
on Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), the bill will languish in committee.
Thankfully, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) is spearheading an effort to
get a vote on the House-passed bill. She is asking her fellow Senators to
cosponsor a letter which she will then deliver to Sen. Reid.
The Hutchison letter points out that, "In DC v. Heller, the court
affirmed
that the District of Columbia's ban on ownership of handguns was an
unconstitutional restriction on that right."
After noting that D.C. has continued to deprive its residents of their
Second Amendment rights for more than 30 years, the letter asks Sen. Reid
"to ensure that D.C. residents do not have to wait any longer to realize
their constitutional rights by allowing the full Senate to consider H.R.
6842 before the 110th Congress concludes."
(Norton's bill was the original HR 6842, but it now contains the Childers
pro-gun language instead -- thanks in no small part to your efforts.)
There are not many days left before Congress recesses for the remainder of
the year, and Sen. Reid is expected to try to run out the clock on the D.C.
repeal bill. That's why it's important to act quickly and contact your own
two U.S. Senators.
This is the last chance we have this year to put some teeth into the Supreme
Court's decision in Heller. Gun Owners of America will score the signing of
this letter in its upcoming congressional rating.
ACTION: Please contact your two Senators and ask them to cosign the
Hutchison letter to Senator Reid. You can visit the Gun Owners Legislative
Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send your Senators
the pre-written e-mail message below. And, you can call your Senators at
202-224-3121 or toll-free at 1-877-762-8762.
----- Pre-written letter -----
Dear Senator:
I was happy to see that the House of Representatives voted for the Childers
substitute language which will repeal the D.C. gun ban (HR 6842).
I recognize that there is not much time left in the legislative session, and
so I hope you will do everything in your power to pressure Majority Leader
Harry Reid to bring up HR 6842 for a vote.
Hence, I urge you to cosign by Friday the Hutchison letter which urges Reid
"to ensure that D.C. residents do not have to wait any longer to realize
their constitutional rights by allowing the full Senate to consider H.R.
6842 before the 110th Congress concludes."
Gun Owners of America will score the signing of this letter in its upcoming
congressional rating. Please let me know how you intend to act.
Sincerely,

Those that complain about the economy all to often consider laissez-faire to be Free Market Economics.This simply is not true, and the “AIG Bailout”is a good example of why that is so. Even in capitalist countries, where Free Markets are the norm there are laws and practices that serve to protect the public.
Certainly because of the scope of a failure by AIG, intervention of some sort was badly needed. A collapse would have had International Macroeconomic implications that at least theoretically, could have caused financial collapse worldwide.
The takeover, or bailout as I see it by the government, is more a Free Market approach, than simply taking AIG over. It appears to be more of a private enterprise buyout, but only time will tell.
