This is a great episode. Glenn Beck does a good job of using logic to discredit the finger pointers in the Aftermath of the tragic Arizona Shootings. He does a great job dispelling the notion that new legislation aimed at prohibiting signs and words is a dangerous precident.

NON-VIOLENCE PLEDGE UPDATE: 

As of this evening 1/12/11, Beck reported only a handfull of  signatures (out of  over 500  lawmakers queried) have signed the Non-violence pledge as challanged earlier this week.

Why are lawmakers so quick to legislate  restrictions on law abiding citizens (to reduce violence), yet will not sign a simple pledge that denounces and DEMONSTRATES an ACTUAL stance against violence  as a means of pushing a political agenda?  It seems to me that a President would be the first in line to sign such a pledge, if not speak out against it publically of his own volition.

As it is now, imagine the statement that would be made if the Obama decided to unify the nation by signing the pledge?  People on the right (like me) would be speechless.

No Violence Challenge Issued to Full Political Spectrum - Will YOU Take the Pledge?

In the aftermath of the Shooting in Arizona, many media sources have wrongfully politicized a crazy person's act.


The left expects America to embrace tighter restrictions on gun rights as well as restrictions on free speech claiming they both contributed to the rampage.


I have never heard any conservative pundits encourage violence as a way of securing their political goals. Therefore, restrictions on political media would be unjust.


Today, Glenn Beck issued a challenge to the full political spectrum. The challenge was to TAKE THIS PLEDGE of nonviolence which is contained in Glenn’s letter to the American people, politicians, and media. This challenge has been extended to President Obama and his entire cabinet, as well as people like Van Jones who encourages “the bottom” to “rise up”.

 Does the political left, the hard-leaning progressives have the courage to publically denounce violence as a means to obtaining their political goals? We shall see, won’t we?


Here are the Pledge Bullet Statements:


** I denounce violence, regardless of ideological motivation.


** I denounce anyone, from the Left, the Right or middle, who believes physical violence is the answer to whatever they feel is wrong with our country.


** I denounce those who wish to tear down our system and rebuild it in their own image, whatever that image may be.


** I denounce those from the Left, the Right or middle, who call for riots and violence as an opportunity to bring down and reconstruct our system.


** I denounce violent threats and calls for the destruction of our system – regardless of their underlying ideology – whether they come from the Hutaree Militia or Frances Fox Piven.


** I hold those responsible for the violence, responsible for the violence.


** I denounce those who attempt to blame political opponents for the acts of madmen.


** I denounce those from the Left, the Right or middle that sees violence as a viable alternative to our long established system of change made within the constraints of our constitutional Republic.

Prediction: Recent Shooting of the Arizona Congresswoman (and others) will not be Wasted

Prediction: The responsibility of recent Shooting of the Arizona Congresswoman and others will not be wasted by gun control activists to include the mainstream media.


The report my wife read to me did, in fact, contain phrases drawing attention to the Tea Party types, and people who are concerned with the direction our nation has been taking while under the left’s control.

You can bet George Soros’ many non-profit organizations such as Media Matters, the Joyce Foundation, and the Tides Foundation will be blaming this isolated rampage on conservative media.

They’ll be incorrectly claiming that conservative media is inciting fear, and claim this shooting is the result.

I say, this is no more true than the man’s claim is, concerning the nation’s currency. I watch conservative media, and I have heard no calls for violence. In fact, I actually hear conservative hosts rejecting violence as a strategy to change things.

Glenn Beck for example has condemned any sort of violent acts, and has fashioned his broadcasts as a sort of pseudo religious and civics education class.

I personally condemn any violence against anyone for any reason other than immediate self protection of life and property.

This incident nor others like it should not be used as an excuse to limit our 2nd amendment right!

Even if, such as in this case, children are killed, our 2nd amendments is just as important as our other civil rights. People who violate laws already on the books aren’t going to obey any gun laws, so don’t punish the law abiders. Enforce current laws.

CNN “Called out” for Faking a Story Regarding “Assault Weapons”, On CNN! *** VIDEO ***

I know I have been hearing this same bullcrap from the left for many years; that somehow semi-automatic weapons are somehow different from other semi-automatic weapons when they have black plastic stocks and grips.


The left’s desire is to remove ALL weapons, so they mischaracterize (lie) stories that support their agenda. And, no one can thell me they don’t! NBC and their affiliated networks are the same way.


Here’s the Video of NRA Vice President or CEO (I’m not sure) Calling out CNN of fabricating their report.

David Vitter''s Response to My Concerns related to the Food Safety Modernization Act - s510 Which Became Law At the end of Last Year

Although Sen. Vitter made an attempt to quell my concerns over this act's provisions which gives too much authority to bureaucrats  (namely the secretary of agriculture), he was not successful.



I want to believe his assurances, but I know the track record of government interference.


The free market, with hands off guidelines from governmet agencies is a terrific incentive to provide safe foods.


No company want's to be associated with bad products, because they will lose money.


Now, I do like the idea of increasing inspection of imported products, but this along with increased inspections of domestic foods as well as increased records keeping by producers will increase food costs.


Couple these cost increasing elements with inflation caused by the devaluation of our currency, and we have a recipe for disasterous food price increases.


The incidences of foodborne illness in this nation do not justify these cost raising measures. We already had the safest food supply in the world, and the rules we had in place were sufficient, in my opinion.


Anyway, here is the letter I received:

Dear Mr. Taverne,


Thank you for contacting me in opposition to the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (S. 510). I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.

I share your concerns about giving too much power to the FDA with broad legislation. That is why I worked to support additions to the bill to protect small farmers from overreaching regulations. Also, there are rumors that this bill would prevent people from growing their own gardens, stop people from saving seeds from their own plants for later use, and ban local farmers' markets or church bake sales. Thankfully, these proposals are not things in the bill. Also, I am pleased that further protections for consumers and small farmers were added as the Senate considered the bill.

Also, the bill would ensure that the FDA cannot rashly decide to ban raw oysters, as they tried to do recently. They pulled back from that regulation only after an outcry from Louisiana and other Gulf states. In the bill, the FDA would have to submit detailed studies three months in advance to justify any new rules governing oyster harvesting, and those studies would be subject to an independent review the Government Accountability Office to ensure their accuracy. Also, it includes provisions that I pushed to prohibit "port shopping," which is a tactic foreign seafood producers use to find ports with loose safety testing, and other provisions to address foreign unsafe seafood products.

Most importantly, these seafood provisions place more control in the hands of the state and local governments, preventing a bureaucrat in Washington from deciding the fate of our world famous Louisiana seafood. Rest assured that I will continue working to keep the FDA and other federal regulators in check.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about any other issue important to you.

The 112th Congress Sworn in

I can’t tell you how happy I am to know Pelosi won’t be pulling anymore threads from America’s fabric.


When she gave her farewell speech yesterday, I simply wanted her to be barf: she wasn't. She is too proud of the damage she and her cohorts caused to be brief.


That said, under the guise of affordable healthcare, Pelosi and her crew passed this legislation, against the will of the people, before it was even written!


I'd actually love to hear Pelosi tell America who actually wrote the legislation.


I hear tell that one new Congressman, Rep. Darrell Issa will be conducting investigations surrounding the Obama Administration. I do like the sound of this. For two years, the president and his administration has been operating with impunity. Who is Obama, and what kinds of people are filling his cabinet?


These are the kinds of questions I’d like raised, in addition to TARP money misallocations to Unions.


I hope and pray that Tea Party Republicans conference with each other. They are going to have to stick together to keep establishment Republicans from co-opting their mandate. I pray the new Republicans also maintain their honor as well as their sense of duty to the voters who elected them, rather than to a massive-progressive-power-hungry-liberty-robbing government.


Finally, I want the new Congress to maintain their Zest for the Constitution. I love the idea, symbolic as it may be, of reading the constitutions on the House floor, and citing the constitution Authority for each bill introduced.


There is much more I could say, but this is good for now.

Gene simmons (of KISS) Entertains the Troops *** video ***

Gene Simmons entertains and energizes the troops. He does a great job.


Thanks Mr. Simmons and your group for doing this. Listen to the words of the Marine’s song!


The last song is about America, God and Country. These folks haven’t forgotten what makes America the exceptional place it is. Our government could learn a thing or two from these troops in this video and almost every veteran.
