Pensioner's Dilemma
Imagine if you had actually been paid the entire amount you had earned your entire working life instead of the government forcing us to contribute to their ideas of retirement, healthcare, etc. If you had control, you could invest in a retirement that suits your needs and desires. You could invest in healthcare that suits your families needs. Instead, the government makes all these decisions for you. this is, of course, the same government that came up with such ideas as cash-for-clunkers.

Our-culturism

There is a mistaken idea that America is great because she is a democracy. This is absolutely not true. America is great because she was founded on the rule of law. No one was exempted from following the Constitution. That is why the birther issue is important. "As a nation, we should never again live in doubt as to whether the occupant of the White House is legitimate or not."

What Liberals Don't Know About Guns, Chapter 217 - Ann Coulter 
Ok, I don't generally post Ann Coulter's work. She's, uhhh, a bit, uhhh, rude. However this time she tells of several public shootings and the big difference between them, why some resulted in five or more dead and why some were limited to one or two dead.

The reason? In the lower death cases, someone was around with a concealed gun and pulled it on the murderer stopping the carnage.

Of course, those in favor of gun control (elimination) would say that if we got rid of all the guns in the country we wouldn't have any shootings. I have three problems with this:

1) Guns are so entrenched there is no way to get rid of them. Only law abiding citizens would turn them in leaving them to be victims of the criminals.

2) Guns are not the only deadly weapon out there. What's next? Knife control? Bat registration? Ice pick confiscation? If someone wants to kill, they will find a way. Again, getting rid of guns puts the weaker at a disadvantage.

3) and most importantly, the real reason for gun control is political. In a system of checks and balances, an armed citizenship is the final check. The government will not come forcibly remove me from my home because they don't know if I and my neighbors have guns to fight back with. An armed citizenship is the last guarantee of freedom. The first thing EVERY tyrant does is take away the guns. THIS is why our founding fathers wrote the second amendment; to protect us from the government itself.

Now the nice side affect of gun ownership is that in places where guns are allowed the crime rate is significantly lower. Criminals may be evil but they aren't stupid! You simply don't attack people who can shoot back.

I lived in California for more than thirty years. Ca has gun control and registration laws. We locked everything up and tied it down. I even had my morning newspaper stolen regularly!

I have lived in Northern Nevada now for a decade (no where near Vegas). We don't bother locking anything up. UPS regularly leaves stuff at our gate when we aren't home and, gasp! its still there when we arrive home. In Nevada, you do not have to register your guns. You can even carry them openly if you want to. If you want to conceal one you have to take a class in gun safety.

When we go visit down south, we can feel the fear settle over us. It's in the air.

That fear simply doesn't exist here.

We know we can take care of ourselves.

"Legalize Marijuana, or at least quit sending people to prison for it."- Pat Robertson.
I actually agree. What right does the government have declaring one substance legal (alcohol) and another equal substance illegal (marijuana)? They both have their medicinal purposes and their great dangers. In fact, MaryJ makes a good pain killer, equal to expensive pharmaceuticals but with fewer side affects. Why can't we choose for ourselves which medicines to use? (I am not advocating the recreational use of either marijuana or alcohol any more than I advocate using Big Pharm Pain Killers for recreation. But the government powerful enough to tell us what to put in our bodies and not is powerful enough to execute someone for their religious beliefs.)

Through Christ.
I listened to a sermon this morning where the preacher was encouraging people to go out and achieve their dreams. I am already living mine. Because I am so great I have already achieved my goals at only age 42? NO. Because Jesus helped me set my goals and form my dreams and then He orchestrated their materialization. I have other dreams for the future, when this time of intense mothering is over and He will help me achieve those dreams to. Not because of who I am but because of who He is.

Why Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals

When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they're doing so for purely selfish reasons. It's the human equivalent of a puppy dog's face: an evolutionary tool designed to enhance survival, reproductive value and status. In short, liberalism is based on one central desire: to look cool in front of others in order to get love. Preaching tolerance makes you look cooler, than saying something like, “please lower my taxes” -- Greg Gutfeld

In their haste to be wiser and nobler than others, the anointed have misconceived two basic issues. They seem to assume (1) that they have more knowledge than the average member of the benighted and (2) that this is the relevant comparison. The real comparison, however, is not between the knowledge possessed by the average member of the educated elite versus the average member of the general public, but rather the total direct knowledge brought to bear though social processes (the competition of the marketplace, social sorting, etc.), involving millions of people, versus the secondhand knowledge of generalities possessed by a smaller elite group. -- Thomas Sowell
