It’s Got to Suck to be a Climavangelist!

Hello 92251 Members,

It may just be me, but this guy’s humor cracks me up.  Doug Giles has the ability to take a serious point, make a lot of humor out of it, and at the same time still remind you of what nonsense and evil we face. 

And now, for your enjoyment and thought, Doug Giles…

Godspeed,

It’s Got to Suck to be a Climavangelist!

By Doug Giles

http://clashradio.com/column.html

What are the global warming grunts going to do now that the Apostles of the Holy Church of Climatology have been busted for cooking the “truth” (I believe the exact word they used was “tricking” us) so that we the sheeple would step-n-fetch to their Chicken Little crap? 

What will chunky Al Gore do seeing that he has officially slammed into a veritable inconvenient truth? I hear that Gore hasn’t been this gauche since he was busted in 2001 by Warren Christopher while lip-synching to “Dancin’ With Myself” in the Lincoln Bedroom wearing only Tipper’s pantyhose, Madonna’s snow cone bra, and Janet Reno’s glasses.

This just in! NewsBusters reports that Al Gore has just cancelled his $1,200 per person December 16^th Climate Change blah blah blah speech in Copenhagen. Come on, Al, don’t quit now. It’s just about to get good. And there will always be plenty of Euro-tools who’ll continue to buy your trumped-up, utterly specious green hash gobbledygook. Cowboy up, sister.

You and I both know that Judas Priest Albert Gore, facts be damned, will never recant but will instead retreat in a recalcitrant manner deeper into Hollywood weirdness where the global warming Kool Aid runs like Tiger Woods did from his angry wife with a 3 iron. Trust me. 

As John Stewart pointed out on the Daily Show this week, oh the irony that the Internet Al invented has debunked his global warming bunkum. Christmas came early this year for me! Yes it did. Pay attention, kiddies: You’re viewing history in the making. Yep, little children, the Climavangelists’ attempt to hoodwink our planet will make your history books. Correction: that would be the homeschoolers’ history books. But I digress.

Back to the modus operandi of the tree humpers. Here’s what the greenies will do now even though they know they’ve been had: They’ll try to kill the news, and if that doesn’t work they’ll attempt to kill the messenger as they plug their ears, stomp their feet, and keep believing their goofy gospel of green. They have no other recourse as they have worked too hard for this to be true. 

In addition, for the power brokers of this hot earth heresy there is just way, way too much money to lose and control to be forfeited for them to concede that their leaders have been lying SOBs. 

Nor should you expect the lower level hairy-legged earth girl to bail out of her tree, cease to drop acid, stop wearing hemp and assimilate into reality anytime soon just because she got fish slapped with truth. These green gals will, one and all, Jim Jones this thing to the bitter end and maintain their global warming course right through the coming ice age. Hail hot mother earth!

Yep, since the revealing of the egregious climate con job discovered in the email exchanges with “scientists” at the University of East Anglia and the subsequent resignations of a couple of their glory boys, Climavangelism and Climavangelists have fallen on tough times. Kinda like ACORN has. Maybe, like ACORN, the Climate Change/Global Warming reality stylists could change their name. Yeah, that’s it! I hear ACORN is going to fly under the new moniker “Societal Assistance Through Action Now,” or “SATAN” for short. 

As you can tell, I truly don’t give a rat’s backside what Al Gore and his warm earth whores do in light of being lied to, but I do care what normal, non-brainwashed droogies do in lieu of this academic Ponzi scheme. I say a little rebellion is in order seeing how these clowns have sought to control our lives and milk our wallets in one of the greatest scientific scams in the last few centuries.

Here’s what I’m gonna do:

1.      I am going to go outside by my pool and spray two full 32oz cans of Aqua Net right at the ozone.

2.      I am going to use a gas powered scooter to go from room to room in my house, which will have all the outside doors open wide while the A/C is blowing full blast.

3.      I am going to buy a ‘69 GTO with no exhaust system and let it idle for 4 hours a day in my driveway every day until Jesus returns.

4.      I am going to fart as much as possible.

5.      Speaking of farting, I am going to feed my cows bean dip and only bean dip.

6.      I am going to set my thermostat on 85 in the winter and 55 in the summer.

7.      I am going to use all my curly cue fluorescent light bulbs for clay pigeons—and not clean up the mess.

8.      I am going to air up my tires on my ‘69 Goat so much that it looks like a frickin’ Macy’s Parade float.

9.      When I go grizzly bear hunting in Alaska this spring I am going to add a polar bear to my license and take one of those as well.

10.  While in Alaska I will take a blowtorch to a glacier to get my drinking water.

11.  In addition, I am going to throw snowballs at seals. It won’t hurt them, but they will understand that the game is back on.

12.  And finally, I am going to make certain my girls have Horner’s book Red Hot Lies and Milloy’s book Green Hell so that when their profs and goofy friends open their mouths on behalf global warming they can go Stone Cold Steve Austin on them with the cold, hard facts.

Self Defense in Cushing Oklahoma

Self Defense in Cushing Oklahoma

By Gill Rapoza

December 10, 2009

Last night, I ran into some info about a Cushing Oklahoma woman and what she needed to do to defend herself.  It did not make the big media that I could tell.  But here is a story that must be told. 

It is a heartbreaking thing she had to do, but she had courage.  And the local police backed her actions up all the way.  The way it should be. 

A few nights ago, at about 1230am, an intruder threw a table into the patio window of the home of 57 year old Donna Jackson, an Oklahoma woman, who was alone while her husband was at work.  Donna called 911 while the bad guy kept yelling profanities while he tried to break in.  Mrs. Jackson told the 911 operator that she did not want to kill the man, but she would if she had to.  Donna refused to go hide in the bathroom as the operator suggested.  When the man smashed the door, broke in and entered, while yelling profanities at the woman, Donna Jackson put three shots from her shotgun to good use and placed a large hole in the man’s chest.  He won’t ever break into anyone’s home again. 

When I listened to the whole 33 minute 911 call, I was highly impressed.  While the 911 operator suggested that Donna Jackson hide, the police operator also told the woman she had a right to defend herself.  The Cushing woman was highly distraught.  Donna clearly did not want to kill the man, but she said if the bad guy came in, she would “shoot him graveyard dead.”  And she did.  The 911 operator was wonderful!  She comforted the Cushing woman who did what she had to do. 

The whole time after the shooting, Donna Jackson would not put her shotgun down, and stood guard over the man she just shot.  She openly cried, prayed, and even wept for the family of the man she just killed.  My heart goes out to this brave woman! 

Oklahoma officials said she acted properly and will file no charges.  Oklahoma just got higher on my list of places to go. 

There are some links to the story here:

http://www.news9.com/global/story.asp?s=11620319

http://newsok.com/woman-shoots-and-kills-intruder-in-lincoln-county/article/3422498

If anyone wants a copy of the audio of the partly edited 911 call, drop me a line.  I have it. 

The 33 minute version is here:

http://www.examiner.com/x-15870-Populist-Examiner~y2009m12d10-Woman-shoots-and-kills-intruder-w911-audio

If you have the time, listen to the whole call.  You may never again have such a chance.  I have that one too, but it is rather large. 

We should be of the mind set that we would never want to do what this brave Oklahoma woman did.  We should pray that we are brave enough to do so if needed.  And may we be in a place where those around us in charge of things, are like the good folks in Lincoln County Oklahoma, should that day ever come.

Let those who wish, cry all they want about the evils of gun ownership.  Donna Jackson knows better.

  

The American West – still doing things the way they need to. 

Godspeed,

An Open Letter To America’s Christians

Hello All,

I must agree that it is the responsibility of all Christians, pastors and members alike, that if we want a Godly country we are the one who must act.  We must not depend on those in political power.  Most of those that run our governments, at any level, are much more interested in getting elected again next time and what financial gain they can acquire.

BTW, if perchance you go to the link below for churches and pastors on the Black Regiment list, you will see someone you recognize at Seeley California: http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/blackregiment.php

Godspeed,

An Open Letter To America’s Christians

By Chuck Baldwin

December 4, 2009

http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2009/cbarchive_20091204.html

I was led to Christ at the tender age of 5 while sitting on my mother’s lap. I was raised in a devout, churchgoing Christian home. I have been in Gospel ministry all of my adult life (I am 57 years old). I have attended or have degrees and/or diplomas from 4 fundamentalist/evangelical colleges or Bible schools. I have been the Senior Pastor of a local Independent Baptist congregation for 34 years and counting. I have spoken in churches and Christian gatherings all over the country. I say all of that simply to provide my Christian credentials (in much the same way that the Apostle Paul provided his Jewish credentials in Philippians 3:5,6). As such, I believe I know something about the attitudes, conduct, philosophy, mindset, etc., of America’s Christians. I am not an outsider; I speak as one within the conservative/fundamentalist Christian camp.

As it relates to the rightful understanding of following Christ’s instruction that we are to be “salt” and “light” (and what that means for us Americans), and properly rendering to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s (and knowing the difference), there are basically 2 groups: those who sincerely want to help America maintain its foundational principles and those who, frankly, are too preoccupied (or cowardly) to give much thought to it one way or another. I would say that the first group is slightly larger than the second group. The problem is, among the first group, there is a vast void of understanding regarding exactly how we are to implement and carry forth the principles of Christian liberty—which are the principles upon which America was built, of course.

As I see it, there are two glaring obstacles that keep today’s Christians from being truly effectual and influential in helping to restore America’s freedoms and founding principles. And let’s be honest enough to admit that, for the most part, today’s Christians (including our pastors) are ineffective and irrelevant in providing any meaningful solutions to America’s many problems. Sadly, more often than not, we are little more than gullible pawns, which wily and wicked politicians use to advance their own nefarious agendas.

Obstacle Number One: America’s current generation of Christians has allowed itself to become pathetically ignorant as to the Biblical, Natural Law principles of liberty and government. And when it comes to America’s historical principles of self-government and federalism, the ignorance quotient goes up even further.

It is really sad: we Christians (including our Christian pastors) know virtually nothing of real American history, law, government, etc. For example, I’m not sure that we can begin to remotely understand what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence if we have not read John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government. I’m not sure we can begin to comprehend the American philosophy of government if we have not read George Washington’s Farewell Address. Without reading The Federalist Papers, one cannot begin to properly appreciate the US Constitution and the principles upon which it was predicated. Without reading Pastor Jonas Clark, one cannot understand what really happened at Lexington Green and Concord Bridge. Without reading Alexander Stephens’ History of the United States, it is doubtful that one can truly understand or appreciate the principles of federalism and State sovereignty. And how many of us have read even one of the above? And this does not even scratch the surface of necessary knowledge.

Let’s admit it: today’s Christians, for the most part, are operating in a vacuum of truth and understanding. Without a firm grasp of necessary truth, how can we know what to do, who to believe, or how to act?

Accordingly, smooth-talking “conservative” politicians who know how to use religious clichés and terminology to gain our support and votes easily dupe the vast majority of sincere Christians. But it is actually worse than that. We Christians are, for the most part, unwitting contributors to the demise of freedom and rise of oppression in our land.

For example, Americans—including Christian Americans—lost more freedoms under former President George W. Bush than under any President since Lyndon Johnson, or maybe since Franklin Roosevelt. Yet, even today, most evangelical Christians continue to hold Bush in high esteem. They seem to be totally oblivious to the fact that Bush set the table and provided the opportunities for virtually everything that President Barack Obama is currently doing to advance socialism and globalism in our country. For the most part, Christians seemed to never notice that President Bush did almost nothing to change the course and direction set by his predecessor, President Bill Clinton. And liberals are just now beginning to wake up to the reality that, at the executive level, Obama is doing precious little to change the course set by George Bush—including escalating Bush’s war (now Obama’s war) in the Middle East. Will the American people never awaken to the fact that, for the most part, the only difference between these two parties at the national level is one of degrees, not direction?

At the national level, Democrats want to expand Big Government for the benefit of advancing the Welfare State, while Republicans want to expand Big Government for the benefit of advancing the Warfare State, but both want to expand Big Government. Make no mistake about it: neither major party in Washington, D.C., has any intention of returning America to the constitutional principles of limited government and federalism. But do Christians see this? No, they do not!

For the most part, today’s Christians seem to have the attitude that G.O.P. stands for God’s Own Party. That the Republican Party in Washington, D.C., is equally culpable for the destruction of liberty and constitutional government never seems to once enter their minds. The sum total of their patriotism seems to be voting Republican, watching Fox News, and paying taxes. The shallowness of today’s pastors and Christians is a major obstacle preventing us from doing much of anything that would actually contribute to good government.

Obstacle Number Two: Today’s Christians are not willing to support the

principles they profess to believe.

I could not count the number of times that a sincere Christian brother or sister has asked me, “What is wrong with my pastor? Why does he refuse to take a stand?” or questions to that effect. Dear Christian Friend, as kindly as I know how to say it, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

I ask you, Why should your pastor “take a stand”? Why should he “get involved”? You and all the others of his congregation are more than willing to support his ministry the way it is. You sit under his preaching. You follow his leadership in the church. You give your tithes and offerings to support his vision for God’s work.

Look around you. What do you see? You see the Joel Osteen-type churches bulging out at the seams. Churches—where pastors are unwilling to get involved in anything “controversial,” where pastors are content to stay completely disengaged from anything that might be deemed “political,” and where pastors refuse to even hear the truth of what is really going on—are filled every Sunday. They have the largest crowds, biggest offerings, and most ornate buildings. Why, in the name of common sense, would you expect your pastor to “take a stand” or “get involved”? Why should he? You have—by your support, attendance, and offerings—clearly told him that you like him just the way he is!

Yet, throughout history, it has been pastors and preachers that have led the great civil movements and revolutions—including our own American Revolution. It is no hyperbole to say that without the leadership, courage, and resolve of Colonial America’s clergymen, we would still be a Crown colony of England, with no Declaration of Independence, no US Constitution, no Bill of Rights, and little freedom. And, it’s not like we do not have the same kind of lionhearted preachers today as we did in days of old, because we do. All across America, there are hundreds of Bible preaching men from virtually every Christian denomination who are more than willing to “take a stand” and “get involved.” As an example, go to my Black Regiment list and see the names of over 200 pastors who are out front in the fight for right. The problem is, the vast majority of America’s Christians today will not support these stalwart spiritual statesmen.

See the Black Regiment list at:

http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/blackregiment.php

So, Christian friend, why do you continue to worship under the leadership of a pastor who has no intention of standing in the gap for our country’s freedom? Why do you continue to give your tithes and offerings to such a church? It is time for Christians who know and care about what is going on to GET OUT of these spineless churches! If you really believe the principles you profess, how can you continue to deny those principles by staying in a church that has no intention of teaching those principles?

If you cannot find a patriot-pastor of your denomination, look for one outside your denomination. I would rather worship with a man with whom I disagree on secondary doctrines (but who is firm on the fundamentals, of course), but who is willing to stand for truth and freedom, than worship with a man of my preferred denomination, but who will do nothing to confront the evils that are currently destroying our republic.

Good grief! We have thousands of evangelical pastors who are willing to follow a man such as Rick Warren; a man who has become a partner with one of the most devilish and sinister organizations in the world—an organization that is actively working against the principles of freedom and independence, and in support of the principles of globalism and universalism: the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

Remember, it was Rear Admiral Chester Ward, former Judge Advocate General of the Navy, who rightly said, “The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all-powerful, one world government.” Most Christians readily discern any attempt at global government to be “of the devil.” Yet, Rick Warren is now an active member of the one organization whose major claim to fame is its incessant promotion of globalism.

How can any sincere Christian who is even remotely aware of what is going on—and who truly cares about the preservation of freedom—follow any pastor who follows someone such as Rick Warren? Yet, the Warren-type churches are flourishing all over America; and, at the same time, many of those congregants complain that their pastor is not “taking a stand.”

So, why don’t YOU take a stand by GETTING OUT of these soft, straddling, sugary, superficial, shallow, saltless churches?vIt is infinitely more important that you be in a church that preaches the truth and takes a stand than that your teens attend “the most exciting youth program,” or that your kids are in one of these glorified playgrounds (called “children’s ministries”) so they can play games and stay entertained, or that your church has a softball team, or that it has the prettiest buildings, or that it has music you think is “just right,” or that it is the “premier church in town” for social gatherings or business contacts.

If you live near Phoenix, Arizona, why not attend Pastor Coleman’s church, 35^th Avenue Baptist Church? If you live near Three Rivers, California, why not attend The Church of Kaweah, which is pastored by Warren Mark Campbell? If you live near Fort Myers, Florida, why not support Pastor James Riddle at Morningstar Baptist Church? If you live near Savannah, Georgia, why not support Pastor John Weaver’s Dominion Ministry? If you live near Ocean Springs, Mississippi, why not help Pastor John Mayfield’s Chapel of Faith? If you live near Kalispell, Montana, why not support Pastor Jim Huff and Bible Presbyterian Church? If you live near Omaha, Nebraska, why not support Pastor Phillip Kayser and Dominion Covenant Church? If you live in the Oklahoma City area why not help Pastor Jason Murphy at New Life Church in Collinsville, or Pastor Paul Blair at Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, or Dr. Steve Kern and Olivet Baptist Church in Oklahoma City? If you live near Greenville, South Carolina, why not help Pastor Tony Romo at South Pointe Baptist Church in Pelzer, or Pastor Mark Dibler at Bible Baptist Church in Pickens. If you live near Madisonville/Athens/Etowah, Tennessee, why not support Pastor Jim Headings at the Piney Grove Community Church in Englewood? Daniel New has a home church in Hamilton County, Texas. Clell Drumheller pastors Truth in Love Ministries in northwest Houston. Why not support Pastor Brandon Teague at Faith Baptist Church in Paris, Texas? Pastor Butch Paugh is a patriot-pastor in Nettie, West Virginia. Pastor Wayne Sedlak is a patriot-pastor who ministers at Reformation Hope Church in West Bend, Wisconsin.

These are only a handful of the hundreds of dynamic patriot-pastors across America who are truly “taking a stand.” Ask yourself, what could the Church do if, instead of Rick Warren and Joel Osteen, men like those listed above pastored churches that numbered in the tens of thousands? Imagine what could happen if Black Regiment-type churches were the largest churches in a majority of the great metropolises throughout America?

I say again (as kindly as I know how): if you stay in, support, attend, and give your offerings to these churches that are pastored by men who will not take a stand, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

And though I would prefer that everyone have a local church they could support in good conscience, there are hundreds of people across America who, because they cannot find such a church, worship online with me and my church every Sunday morning, as we Livestream our service. We do this specifically for those who cannot find a church that will take a stand in their area.

To tune in to our Livestreamed service each Sunday morning at approximately 10:30am (CST), go to:

http://crossroadbaptist.net/live.html

If Christians today are to regain any semblance of relevancy in preserving America’s liberties, they must do two things: (1) immediately become acquainted with the foundational principles that created this country, and (2) get serious about supporting only those churches and ministries that truly know what’s going on and are willing to courageously stand in the gap. Anything short of this is pious-sounding rhetoric. And rhetoric will do nothing to help us—not now, anyway.

Gun Control: Schemed by Tyrants, Supported by Fools

Gun Control: Schemed by Tyrants, Supported by Fools

by Michael Gaddy

October 23, 2009

http://www.lewrockwell.com/gaddy/gaddy71.1.html

I’m sure my environment while growing up had a great deal to do with my attitude towards the rights of a free people to own firearms. To me it has always been a no-brainer. From the simple act of providing for the defense of one’s life and property and the defense of those with whom we have a responsibility, to preventing criminals from enslaving us, it all seems to be so fundamental. Relinquishing of that right to those who seek domination and control over our very existence is absurdity squared. Yet, a great number of our population continues to believe the propaganda that we can and will be protected by the state. I totally understand the propensity of many to attempt, with intellectual facts, to change their minds. My life’s experience has taught me this is analogous to taking a knife to a gunfight.

If one is to enslave a people and get them to participate in the process, logical, cognitive discourse must be replaced with emotional claptrap. It must become all about how a person “feels” about a subject rather than how they view the subject intellectually. Everything in our society today, by design of course, is based on emotion. TV shows and movies are filled with heart rendering music and dialogue; 24-hour news networks ply the heartstrings with one emotional story after another. Public education is centered on emotions; that is why History has been replaced with Social Studies and Physics and Chemistry have been replaced with diversity studies and “green” everything. Facts must never get in the way of emotions if the state is to be properly served.

How else could the peoples of a country believe that one could atone for the mistreatment of a race over a century ago by punishing members of another race today, none of whom were alive when the persecution took place? How could the burning of a city and the killing of its inhabitants during the War for Southern Independence be looked upon as a crime while the burning of portions of an entire state and the rape and killing of its inhabitants be seen as morally acceptable? How, despite all of the evidence to the contrary, can a group of people believe the police can protect them from crime, when five minutes of the evening news in any metropolitan area proves the opposite? If one is to believe the propaganda of the state, one must never let facts get in the way; emotions must rule in all decisions.

Decades ago I labored under the belief that if I educated myself on facts, figures and statistics, I could debate those who believed in gun control and might even be able to convert some of them to the truth. I was puzzled and disappointed when my intellectual arguments made no impression at all with those who were even willing to discuss the subject. It was when I began to push the point with many of them that I saw the anger and emotions come bubbling to the surface. At the time I remember discussing this with my grandfather and can still hear his response in my mind: “Son, don’t try to make sense of people who don’t have any.” But, I still could not understand; many of the folks I had been debating were well educated. It was then I learned that being educated does not confer any degree of common sense.

Gun control advocates today generally fall into one of two groups. On the one hand are those who deal with the issue emotionally, while members of the other group have an agenda. Approaching members of either group with intellectual ammunition is a completely wasted effort. I saw the futility of discussing the issue with those who can only address the issue emotionally several years back. I was under contract to provide personal security for a group of software engineers and mathematicians from Europe as they were touring the American Southwest. Over dinner one night in Old Town Sacramento, the subject of discussion was the then recent events at Columbine High School. The consensus of the group was Americans must be mad to allow private citizens to own firearms. Although I did not bring up the subject, I relished the opportunity to provide these mathematicians, those who deal in absolutes and axioms, with facts and figures to support my case. One lady in particular was most vocal in her position and she and I eventually became the only two in the discussion, with the others seeming content to just listen. I felt that I was able to counter each point the lady made with facts and statistics proving her points to be incorrect or based on false assumptions. Finally, she said in frustration, “I don’t care how many facts and figures you present, you are never going to change my mind.” We have all encountered this mindset. Any attempts to reach these folks with the truth will always prove fruitless. Do not continue to waste your time.

This is the problem we face in not only gun control but in many other facets of the quest for liberty. The indoctrination embraced by the public schools, the media, and of course politicians, has taken many people into the abyss of situational ignorance. The other group, those with an agenda, is also easy to identify. Most of these are politicians or employees of government. If they advocate openly their belief that only the police and military should be armed, they are criminals, plain and simple, and should never be trusted on any issue. Those who seek to justify their criminality with some humanitarian approach are simply criminals who want their crimes to appear less invasive and therefore justified. They, too, are to never be trusted on any issue. Many times you will encounter employees of the government who will simply avoid any direct answer to questions concerning their oaths or their willingness to follow orders when those orders are criminal in nature. An answer such as “that will never happen” is simply an avoidance of admitting they will do whatever they are told to do because their paycheck depends on it. Put these folks on your enemies list as well.

Patriots and gun rights advocates, please stop sending your hard-earned money to gun rights groups who exist solely to lobby those in power to do that which they have sworn a sacred oath to perform. If someone, after taking such an oath, has to be wined and dined, taken on junkets, or in other ways influenced into doing that which they swore an oath to do, they too are your enemy. They are nothing but political whores selling themselves, your rights, and their country to the highest bidder. Eventually, someone will offer them more money than the gun rights folks can afford to match. Can you imagine paying your minister to stop pursuing your wife, molesting your children, or paying your neighbor to not break into your house? Anyone who must be paid to do that which is right will at some point be paid more to do that which is wrong. Support only those who will not compromise on basic rights. Others are living high on your money and have consistently supported compromises of your basic human rights. Also, look at their results; after collecting untold millions, are our rights more or less secure? Never fall for the old socialist argument of “look how much worse it could have been had we not been here.”

Those who advocate gun control as a means of enslaving the people will never be influenced by an intellectual argument, presentation of facts and figures, or a simple plea to do that which is right. Those who are influenced into making decisions based on their emotions are now being motivated by a stronger emotion: fear, the fear that what we have been telling them for years is true. Countless thousands of folks who previously did not own a gun, have been purchasing guns and ammo at a record pace. Actions by this criminal government have awakened some of the sheeple where our intellectual arguments have failed.

Don’t waste your time, money or efforts on “educating” those who believe in gun control. This criminal government is doing it much better than we ever could.

Rapoza Rants – December 8, 2009

Rapoza Rants – December 8, 2009

By Gill Rapoza 

Here is the latest edition of Rapoza Rants. 

And, as I have the liberty in this writing format, the sarcasm mode will be frequently ON for this post.  Remember to fasten your seatbelts.  It could be a bumpy ride.

Ø      Investigation Priorities

Which is more important, investigating some White House party crashers or a thorough investigation of the Fort Hood Terror attack?  Well, I see that the Homeland Security Committee in the House of (sometime) Reps called for hearings already.  I have not seen any hearings on the Fort Hood terror attack.  Does this mean you have committed a greater breach of national security if you jumped in the house party?  I heard that the guy who lives there did not have paperwork either come to think of it.  I think they call people with questionable nationality and no legitimate paperwork of any kind, “undocumented aliens.”  But, let’s not jump to conclusions, I’m told. 

Ø      Military Sexual Harassment?

Why were all those top military officers ran ragged by the media in that stupid “Tail Hook” event so many years ago and the same press is not upset concerning those who knew something was wrong with the Muslim Major, Hasan the Terrorist, (rotting in Hell at a future date) was up to no good?  Is sexual harassment a greater crime than a guy who ended up murdering many innocents and failing to go out and get his 72 virgins?  Does Hasan the major Terrorist (Hell calling, your reservation has been confirmed) qualify as committing harassment in this case if he did it for the virgins?  If so we may have a case here, it seems. 

Ø      Navy SEALs and Abed The Religious Man

So the story goes, Ahmed Hashim Abed went along his merry way one day in Iraq, and for no reason at all, three mean ol’ Navy SEALs grabbed a hold of him and at least one of them must have punched him in the belly, and maybe hurt his lip.  It must have been the fault of the SEALs, after all there can be no good reason for Navy SEALs to be that far from the water.  They must have been looking for trouble.  And Ahmed Abed was a highly devoted religious man in the “Religion of Peace,” So you know, it must be something more than hanging burnt and tortured bodies from a bridge.  At least he did not throw shoes at anyone. 

Ø      Global Warming Email Crimes

There was a terrible crime in the news this past week or two.  Someone hacked into an email system and found a whole bunch of emails that demonstrated that the whole idea of global warming being man made was based on fraud and intentionally pumped up data to make it look man made.  This is terrible news.  I can’t wait for the congressional investigation that demonstrates how unlicensed computer users are doing terrible things with unlicensed computers.  The government really needs to regulate all the computers on the Internet.  We will surely need computer control that is at least as effective as gun control.  And what about the theory that hundreds of years ago scientists discovered the sun actually caused warming, and all over the globe?  Naw, must be just some right wing nut jobs that thought that one up so they can still drive around in pick-up trucks.  Al Gore, the smartest man in the world, would have told us so if we needed to know.  After all, he has a Nobel Prize just as good as BHO’s.  I heard Al was so upset that he cancelled his $1,200 per handshake meeting in Copenhagen.  Oh dear, how will he swindle, I mean make lots of money now?  There may be something rotten in Denmark this coming week.   

Ø      BHO’s Military Strategy Speech

I was just wondering a couple of things about the military strategy BHO talked about in his big speech the other day.  It must have been real important seeing my wife had to miss Wheel of Fortune and all.  You know that game where you spin the wheel and you have to guess the letters and eventually figure all the words in the puzzle.  I never seem to figure out what the point is in that game.  All that senseless clapping and cheering and all, every time somebody guesses near right and does not go bankrupt.  Oh wait, I was talking about BHO’s speeches.  I like to watch Vanna White, and I understand she does not even have a teleprompter.  I must have drifted off for a second there.  Getting back to that military speech…  It must have been OK with telling the bad guys the plan to leave on a certain date and timeframe.  I mean it worked so well in Viet Nam and all.  There can not be any truth to the ugly rumor that the “Anointed One” not having any military, or other practical experience come to think of it, makes him not qualified to be Commander-in Chief.  I know he has some experience in something or other when he was doing community service.  I have a nice picture of him hanging drapes over a doorway. 

Ø      Hate Crimes

I read the news about the four police officers murdered Washington over a week back.  I must have misunderstood the gravity of it.  I thought it was very important news even if it did get less press than the party crashers.  I know BHO was very upset when a Cambridge Police Officer arrested his friend the left wing professor (aren’t they all?).  After all, we were told, even if you say you don’t know the facts, cops are racists, and act stupid, so the Cambridge cop must have been stupid in his decision making.  Must be true if BHO said so.  And I’m still waiting for BHO’s explanations on why there was no “horror” at the ambush and murder of these four officers drinking coffee together.  And it could not be the murder’s (while he rots in Hell) fault, could it?  The “Wise One” must know and we mere mortals need not know why.  “Stop the hate” he tells us, so we don’t want to be thought of as hateful if we asked BHO why he did not express the same shock (at least) with the “four officers down.”  I wonder what the races were of each of the fallen, and that of the murder (while he burns in Hell).  No, I should not ask.  Asking may be a hate crime!  Maybe the family members of the fallen will be invited to the Rose Garden for a beer.

I just turned the sarcasm mode OFF. 

Please do be careful out there my friends.  We are in frightening times I see, and I don’t know where we will end prior to the Second Coming of Christ. 

When all others fail and do wrong, you be the one that stands for that which is right.  You may take some licks, but you will get up again. 

I encourage you to pray for our nation, that she may return to the road seldom walked.  You pray for one another as well.  Outside of God Almighty, we are all we got on this earth! 

Godspeed,
