The new scandals: Intimigate

Posted on May 23, 2013 by

It seems that we, as Americans, are being bullied into thinking that we are so stupid that as a people, we cannot survive without the government taking care of us. What they don’t realize is, we can. And a lot of us can do it with no government help at all. This week was a huge tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma. At first, the news media called it huge, and it was first reported as an EF 4. It has later been upgraded to an EF 5. But here is where the media, and what is actually happening in Moore Oklahoma differ.

If you listen to the mainstream media on this tragedy, all you are going to hear from them is how horrible this was, and how the people need all kinds of help. Obama has come in and promised help. Still, all you hear from the mainstream media is how horrible this whole thing was. But I want to concentrate on the other end of the spectrum here.

The Blaze Network this morning was talking about how yesterday they got a donation thing going for the victims of Moore, Oklahoma. Within 24 hours they had raised a million dollars, without the help of the government, or any corporate sponsors. And every cent of that million will go to the victims of the tornado. But, even as that is good news, there was more, and the Blaze Network concentrated on that.

Not how horrendous this tornado was, but how the people pulled together to help each other even before they realized their neat little world was gone…..again. You see, Moore was hit in 1999 by another tornado. And this, from a part of the United States that doesn’t do what New Orleans did, and wait for the government to help. And this isn’t the only example of this folks.

Remember a few winters ago, when the great north plains of the U.S. was hit by a horrendous snow storm that had people stranded on I-90 for days? The government was never really called in there to help. People came from all over and started to help dig people out of the snow. No government, yet, many helped and many were saved. And if those many had waited for the government, many more would have died.

This whole thing with Intimigate, the new scandals, all centering around the Obama administration would have been enough to destroy any other president of a Conservative or Republican bent. Reagan would not have survived all that Obama’s administration has done.

We have talk now of impeachment. Many many emails are being sent out to people, with polls on them asking if Obama should be impeached. The majority of the people say yes…..but folks, in all likelihood, that isn’t going to happen. The Obamabots all over will keep that from happening. And to let you know how bad this whole thing is, if the Obama administration had not turned against ABC and CBS whose reporters were reporting on things like Fast and Furious and Benghazi, we wouldn’t be embroiled in this scandalgate of the Obama administration. And we have all heard of these two scandals.

But sadly, the scandals keep coming. ABC had some of their reporters targeted by the IRS. Then CBS and Fox. We can only guess who will be next. But my guess is, there will be a next, as the president and his administration will continue to try to take the focus off of their blundering. Obama did that in his last speech where he talked about Terrorism again. Does he really think we are that dumb? You want an answer folks? YES HE DOES!

Reality Check

Posted on May 18, 2013 by

The IRS targeting conservative groups.  Benghazi.  ObamaCare. Gun Control.  Solyndra.  Sequestration targeting cuts causing as much pain as possible to the population.  Fast and Furious.  GSA Las Vegas spending boondoggle.  Justice Department wiretapping AP.  Congress not reading the bills they are voting on with all the amendments.  The drive toward unsustainable renewable energy.  Lies and broken promises.  A stimulus for shovel-ready jobs that weren’t there.  Class and race warfare.  And more.

What do the above have in common?

The answer is a government gone wild on power.

And who’s to blame?

We are.  We elected these clowns, continue to re-elect them, and collectively  refuse to open our eyes to the realities that an out of control government will eventually drown each one of us in debt and ruin as it attempts to feed itself.  And government is doing a damn fine job in doing just that, especially with the current Administration.

I’ve always known that the politicians are in it for themselves.  What has been different over the past five years is that the Obama Administration has shown such audacity and arrogance in saying one thing then shafting the public by doing the exact opposite of what they said.  What is worse is that the public’s reliance upon the media to ferret out such betrayals has been compromised by that same media’s support of this administration for only God knows what.  With the recent exposure to the government’s warrantless wiretapping of AP for what appears to be political reasons might change this support, but it’s probably too late.

The damage that this Administration has done to the economy of the United States is incalculable.  The divisiveness between the political parties and even between the citizenry is destructive to all progress to move forward.  The chaos that results is ripe for a government to gain more and more control over the population because of the uncertainty of the population has been conditioned by that same media to look toward government to take care of them.

My friends, that desire for “Uncle Sam” to come forward and take care of us is an experiment that has gone wrong, and was doomed to failure from the beginning.

The strength of the United States has always been with the People, not of the government.  The People are to be strong, independent, self-reliant, and by the self determination of the individual, prosperous and responsible.  It is by these traits the person, the individual, will gain the self-esteem and pride that the person desires.

This is the exact opposite of the Liberals, who state through their policies that the individual gains all of this by government mandate.  I realize that this is an oversimplification, but where is this a wrong statement?  Where do the Liberals in government not state that one must give in to the will of the people through the Gordian’s Knot of laws, regulations, and edicts that must make the outcomes of everyone’s labor fair and equal?  Indeed, there is a mandate for equal outcomes, and not one for equal opportunity.  Thus, the population is being brainwashed accordingly.

From the article “A Nation of Cowards” by Jeffery R. Snyder:

The liberal elite know that they are philosopher-kings. They know that the people simply cannot be trusted; that they are incapable of just and fair self-government; that left to their own devices, their society will be racist, sexist, homophobic, and inequitable — and the liberal elite know how to fix things. They are going to help us live the good and just life, even if they have to lie to us and force us to do it. And they detest those who stand in their way.

Look at the list of events and scandals at the beginning of this post.  And I mean really, really look and think – Where is there no manipulation of these events by the Administration or government that does not benefit those same entities?  I personally find the concept frightening.

But perhaps what I find of more concern is the chipping away of the foundation of this Country – The Constitution with the Bill of Rights.

Again, from  “A Nation of Cowards” by Jeffery R. Snyder:

In United States v. Cruikshank (1876), the first case in which the Court had an opportunity to interpret the Second Amendment, it stated that the right confirmed by the Second Amendment “is not a right granted by the constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.” The repeal of the Second Amendment would no more render the outlawing of firearms legitimate than the repeal of the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment would authorize the government to imprison and kill people at will. A government that abrogates any of the Bill of Rights, with or without majoritarian approval, forever acts illegitimately, becomes tyrannical, and loses the moral right to govern.

Read the above again.  And again. And again.  Think about what our government is doing now to various citizens of opposing political views.  Think of the repeated statements that the Constitution is an outdated document and must be “fixed” by the same political elite that swore oaths to uphold and protect the very same document that is the founding principle of this country.  Think of the Administration mandating to law enforcement what laws to enforce and not enforce.  Are you scared now?

From the article “By the Consent of the Governed”, The American Rifleman, July, 1961:

The disappearance of the sturdy, independent minded, freedom loving individual and his replacement by a servile, mass mentality is one of the GREATEST HUMAN MENACES OF OUR TIME. Freedom is not a thing that can be imposed from without. It can only be created from within. It’s very essence is that of self creation. Nations do not, cannot make free men – men make free nations. Freedom of the individual is the foundation stone of American Liberty. The basic “Rights” guaranteed to the people in the Constitution of the United States, all of them, not just the ones that happen to not effect certain individuals, are a priceless heritage. When any “one of our Rights” are encroached upon, “every one of our Rights” are weakened and we should all be shocked and outraged to action.

I came across this quote by chance:

“I am freeing men from the burden of freedom which only a few can bear.” – Adolf Hitler

I believe we are at a critical time in our country.  We are beginning to see the overt arrogance of the political elite running our country, and it is time that we, the American Citizen, make our voices heard to our elected representatives and/or elect their replacements in each and every election cycle.  It is our responsibility to hold our elected officials for their actions, and to not rely upon government to take responsibility for us.  There is no other choice if we expect this country to continue.

It’s Continuing: The Governmental Abuse of Power

Posted on May 16, 2013 by

Democracy and Power 101: Government is Power
The .. essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.
—James Madison-, speech in the Virginia State Convention of 1829-1830

We have at this point in time extreme abuse of governmental power evident. At least it is evident to everyone who doesn’t follow and support our president and what he does to this country. The reason being is that we here on the right are being picked and chosen for scrutiny based on the ideals of the person, or company. The government is overstepping its Constitutional bounds now by leaps and bounds and it seems they don’t think they are doing anything wrong.

From FreedomWorks comes this article titled Continuing Abuse of Power: The IRS Harrassment and Benghazi Fraud, written by Ted Abram on May 16, 2013:

Presently in America, the abuse of governmental power is extremely evident. Harassment by the IRS and the fraud of Benghazi are two distinct, and ugly, examples of government’s horrific abuse of power. Worse, governmental elites are protecting the perpetrators and continuing to thwart the truth.

The Internal Revenue Service:

The IRS confessed to targeting both conservative and libertarian political groups. Intentionally using the coercive power of government, the IRS has investigated and harassed groups that challenged government ranging from “tea party” activists to people concerned about debt. The Wall Street Journal reports:

The Internal Revenue Service’s scrutiny of conservative groups went beyond those with “tea party” or “patriot” in their names—as the agency admitted Friday—to also include ones worried about government spending, debt or taxes, and even ones that lobbied to “make America a better place to live,” according to new details of a government probe.

Benghazi Fraud:

Benghazi involves the deliberate concealing of the truth by our government. Twelve revisions of the “talking points” were all but scrubbed of references to Muslim terrorists, while Americans were simultaneously misled by Obama, Clinton, Rice and Carney, who repeatedly claimed the murders were a result of a spontaneous violence caused by a YouTube video.

One of many false statement’s by Jay Carney, from an official White House briefing, is as follows:

We also need to understand that this is a fairly volatile situation and it is in response not to United States policy, not to obviously the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video, a film that we have judged to be reprehensible and disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it, but this is not a case of protests directed at the United States writ large or at U.S. policy. This is in response to a video that is offensive to Muslims.

Further, Carney emphasized there was no indication of a preplanned attack.

A reporter asked Carney: “At Benghazi?”

MR. CARNEY: We certainly don’t know. We don’t know otherwise. We have no information to suggest that it was a preplanned attack. The unrest we’ve seen around the region has been in reaction to a video that Muslims, many Muslims find offensive. And while the violence is reprehensible and unjustified, it is not a reaction to the 9/11 anniversary that we know of, or to U.S. policy.

Now, eight months since the Benghazi Fraud, a power-player or a combination of players in the White House, State Department and the CIA continue to thwart and conceal the truth by claiming to protect “national security” and refusing to release documents. Following is a report from ABC News:

White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department. The edits included requests from the State Department that references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack.

The IRS Harassment and the Benghazi Fraud are horrific examples of government’s abuse of power. Poignantly, the “tea party” rebellion is an overwhelming grassroots reaction against the abuse of government – the debt, ObamaCare, undeclared wars, excessive spending and more.

These abuses are why America’s Founders declared their independence from England and the need to limit and disperse the power of government. Our Founders understood the universal quest to obtain and abuse the power of government. President Madison once said: The … essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

The IRS Harassment and the Benghazi Fraud are manifestations of thousands of abuses by our government. Presently, the our federal government is too big, too complicated, too powerful to be good, fair and honorable. By significantly reducing the size and reach of our government, we will reduce its abuse of power.

We the People must renew America’s commitment to limit and disperse the power of government. Outrageously, limiting the reach and abuse of government was the crux of the peaceful rebellion by the “tea party” and “patriots,” which the IRS Harassment intended to crush.

Folks, the IRS harassment of Liberty minded people should worry all of us. If they get away with this, it will be just the first step to the next set of abuses that they will attempt. We have to remember here, that the government uses this “step by step” approach to find out what it can and cannot do. It doesn’t use the constitution, which lays it out word by word, because they *the left* do not believe in the constitution because it limits them too much on what they can do to us. So, they take our ignorance of what we know about what is in the Constitution, and they run these “hit and run” tactics on us the people until they find something that they get stopped on, then, they try to figure out how to get around it. When they do, they move on to the next one.

That is the main reason that I have been saying for years now that this country is in trouble. With us, when we are stopped, we stop. With the left and Obama, when they are stopped, they go back to the drawing board and figure out a way around getting stopped, then they attack on that point again…and again….and again, till they succeed. It’s time we stopped them for good. This country’s future completely depends on us doing that.

We need to repeal ObamaCare completely. We need to stop them in their America destroying tracks. We need to stop their insane spending of our money……and the time has come for us to start doing that, without any questions asked. The time is now! Or we won’t have a country to raise our children in.

God Bless America
God Bless our Troops
The time is now!

Benghazi just won’t go away……here is more.

Posted on May 14, 2013 by

“I want to wish Hillary a Happy Mother’s Day. She has her child. I don’t have mine because of her.”
-Pat Smith, mother of slain Foreign Service officer in Benghazi, Sean Smith-

It is a crying shame that the media plays favorites so much that a slain American soldier takes a back seat to protecting Hillary Clinton and the President. I know myself, if I was in Congress, I would be fighting for the rights of this young man Sean, who gave his life in the call of duty, and to hell with the reputation of the President and the former Secretary of the State, if they couldn’t do what was right. Which they haven’t.

If you can’t see what our president and Hillary are doing to our military, watch this sad moment by the mother of Sean Smith. If you can’t see what our administration is doing wrong then, then there is something wrong with you, as an American. PERIOD!

The Shame of the Left and the Media in America

The problem we have here is that there is even more. We have what I call the Obama groupies who always will help Obama find new reasons to blame other people, and keep the blame off of him. The Latest on this comes from Jessica Biel, who as an actress, I have always liked but now, not sure if she deserves being liked. Justin Timberlake, and others, who are now helping Obama by finding someone else to blame for things going wrong for their beloved Obama. The latest person to be blamed for Obama’s troubles? Why, of course it would have to be Rush Limbaugh.

Never is the blame put where it should be. No matter what Obama or his administration lies about, the lies I guess are the fault of Rush Limbaugh. Here are some of the reasons that Rush is to blame for Obama’s troubles, according to what Obama told Jessica Biel. From WND Diversions:

President Obama told donors like Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake (who was wearing hipster glasses), and Tommy Hilfiger that Washington gridlock is pretty much Rush Limbaugh’s fault on Monday evening at a fundraiser at Harvey Weinstein’s house in New York’s Greenwich Village.

Obama admitted that his theory — that after the 2012 election, the Republican “fever” would break, and they’d decide to co-sign some of his agenda — was wrong. “My thinking was when we beat them in 2012 that might break the fever, and it’s not quite broken yet,” Obama said, according to the White House pool report. This is because of a certain corpulent radio host.

“I genuinely believe there are Republicans out there who would like to work with us but they’re fearful of their base and they’re concerned about what Rush Limbaugh might say about them. And as a consequence we get the kind of gridlock that makes people cynical about government.”

All I can say about that is……GO RUSH! I wish I had half the following that you do. It would be fun to be that much of a strain on the phony president we have in office now. So much fun.

God Bless America
God Bless our Troops
God Bless us to us our God Given Common Sense when voting.

A repost of something that I had posted a year or so ago….

Posted on May 12, 2013 by

“The only battles we lose are the ones we fail to fight.”
-Howard Phillips-
America will fall, without a shot being fired. It will fall from within.
-Nikita Krushchev-

About a year or so ago, I did a post on something that happened in the halls of our Congress, in 1963. What was it that happened, you may ask? It was the list of 45 things, some 49 years ago, of the Communist Goals, which are part of our congressional record. I will list these things here for you to read, and for your information, will put in red the things that I feel have already been accomplished. This should scare the crap out of any traditional American who loves this country and wants her to succeed. Because we are losing it…..and fast.

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.


As you can see folks, the communist agenda is almost done. Which makes this a horrible time for a socialist like Obama to be in office. Heck, this man in the White House must be in seventh heaven knowing he is this close to the goals that his brethren have set in motion in 1963, in the halls of our government. Do you realize that we have helped this all happen because we voted these socialistic maroons into office…..and continue to do so?

But we have other problems too. On number 45, I had a question asked, if Agenda 21 was to get rid of the Connally reservation so that the US couldn’t stop the world court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems, essentially giving the world court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

Happily no. For those of you who know nothing of the Connally reservation, it is a document that is highly important in keeping the UN out of our legal system.

If you read from UN 100 Ways you will see a paper written in 1997 which explains some of what we are seeing today in our approach to the UN.

Note that Obama signed an executive order a week ago that seems to be an attempt to subvert the Connally Reservation.

We ARE IN TROUBLE FOLKS, make no mistake about it, and a lot of it is our fault for electing these socialist bozos.

One of the other reasons the Connally Reservation has to be watched people, is if it is repealed, it is essentially the total secession of the sovereignty of the United States, which of course, being the end goal is the final step in the process. A step which until the society has completely rotted is not possible. We haven’t reached that point yet, but they are working on it.

God Bless America
God Bless our Troops
God Bless us to start thinking American

Mother’s Day

Posted on May 12, 2013 by

Today is the first Mother’s Day without my Mom.  To say it feels strange is somewhat of an understatement.

My Mom and I didn’t see eye to eye most of the time (I’m 5’10”, she was 4’6”), but we still loved each other no matter what our differences on various issues were.

For those of you whose Mothers are still alive, treasure them and tell them you love them.

For those whose Mothers are not with us, take a few moments and think of the wonderful times that you had together.

Doing either of the above honors your Mother, and shows the love and respect that they deserve.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Gun Control proponents will hate these stats….

Posted on May 8, 2013 by

More gun control means using both hands.
-sign in Brownsburg, IN-

This whole gun control crap in Washington D.C., is nothing more than another attempt of the government taking more control over the American people. I say this because if they were really interested in the safety of children, and the safety of the American people they would look at the statistics in the states where they have almost complete control of people and guns, and see it isn’t working at all.

I have some of those stats, though, since this blog doesn’t reach enough people, to do much good, I will continue to plug along hoping that it becomes big enough to do some good. Even though most liberals like Obama, Reid and Pelosi wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them right between the eyes…….unless the truth helped their agenda. This truth on gun control, does not.

From Firearms statistics that gun control advocates don’t want to see comes this article, which I did link here for you who will not believe what I have here in this blog post:

To accompany TheBlaze’s coverage of the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Houston, we figured it could be helpful to share some gun statistics pointed out to us by some of the NRA Convention attendees. Forget the talking points used by both sides in the gun control debate; we’re going to be talking about verified statistics.

Gun control advocates be advised, these are not the statistics you are looking for.

According to data from the FBI’s uniform crime reports, California had the highest number of gun murders in 2011 with 1,220 — which makes up 68 percent of all murders in the state that year and equates to 3.25 murders per 100,000 people.

The irony of such a grisly distinction is evident when you look at which state was named the state with the strongest gun control laws in 2011 by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. You guessed it — it was California.

“What is very unusual is that California also has a program by which we can remove guns, recover guns from people who have a gun and then subsequently become prohibited or dangerous,” Brady Campaign spokeswoman Amanda Wilcox said at the time.

It should be noted, though, that California is also one of the biggest states in the country, with a population of about about 37 million. Therefore, it might make sense that it would have a high number of murders but its murder rate is still high as gun control has had a seemingly inconsequential impact. In comparison, Texas has a population of about 25.6 million and saw 699 total gun murders in 2011 — nearly half that of California — and a firearms murder rate of 2.91 per 100,000.

In 2011, Utah, the state that the Brady Campaign determined had the least gun control, experienced just 26 gun murders and a firearms murder rate of 0.97. Utah has a population 2.8 million.

But if you look at the data another way — murders per 100,000 people — another gun control haven tops the list.

The FBI data also notes that Washington, D.C. had the highest murder rate per 100,000 people. The nation’s capital saw 12 gun murders per 100,000 in 2011. DC also finished first in gun-related robberies per 100,000 people – with 242.56.

In 1976, the District of Columbia required all guns be registered, banned new handguns and required guns at home to be stored and dissembled or locked up. Unfortunately, the draconian measures — which lasted more than three decades — didn’t had the desired effect.

Journalist and attorney Jeffrey Scott Shapiro explains the not-so-surprising result in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal on Jan. 15, 2013:

The gun ban had an unintended effect: It emboldened criminals because they knew that law-abiding District residents were unarmed and powerless to defend themselves. Violent crime increased after the law was enacted, with homicides rising to 369 in 1988, from 188 in 1976 when the ban started. By 1993, annual homicides had reached 454.
[...]

Most of the Gun Control states are the worst when it comes to gun crimes

Most of the Gun Control states are the worst when it comes to gun crimes


Since the gun ban was struck down, murders in the District have steadily gone down, from 186 in 2008 to 88 in 2012, the lowest number since the law was enacted in 1976.

Though it should be noted that the gun murders started decreasing in 1994.

Today, Washington, D.C. still has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. And yet again, the gun murder rate remains dramatically high, the highest in the United States in fact.

So, do the numbers indicate that gun control is the answer to gun violence? You decide.

So, you see folks, if you would just look at the stats, and see that gun control really doesn’t work and that it is nothing more than a ploy by the government under Obama, Reid and Pelosi to take more control over us the people, then this would suddenly become a NON ISSUE. Simple as that folks. Simple as that.

God Bless America
God Bless her troops, where ever they may be
God Bless us every one….
