November 2006 Elections — It’s about Freedom at Home, too!

Here we are at election time again… and we all have the opportunity to choose who our government selects to go to war against.

The choice is pretty clear to me.

If the Democrats win — as in the Clinton years — they probably will drop Iraq et all and they will opt to go after ‘soft targets’, such as the American people. Oh, you say that couldn’t happen? Allow me to refresh your memory.

I am sure you remember the poor unfortunates targeted in those years… like the cult incinerated in Waco, Texas or the taunting and shooting of a survivalist mother of an infant in Idaho. And in case you forgot the picture of the young Cuban boy yanked from family and returned to Cuba… I have included it in this blog. There’s a lot more.

Okay, true confession time, Since I was a young boy taking my first gun safety course… I have been an off and on again member of the National Rifle Association. The NRA is a good group contrary to popular press. Although unsettling, I have had several opportunities to defend myself and others thanks to a hand gun.

There’s a video of a tiny woman being roughed up and thrown against her china and then her handgun is taken away… oh yes, this was done by the police in New Orleans. So, here’s a link to the video on a new site :Take a long hard look at the section titled “Brutally Disarmed” on www.givethemback.com.You’ll see unbelievable violence caught by Fox News when police entered the residence of sixty-year old, Patricia Konie, and demanded that she evacuate her home.  You’ll see them body-slam this tiny woman into a wall-sending dishes flying-then confiscate her firearm and drag her from her home.You never saw this footage and you never will see it on ABC, NBC or CBS. You never will see the photos or read about these crimes in The New York Times, The Washington Post or any of the major dailies. 

  

 

Think it can’t happen where you live? Ask your local mayor & police chief what plans they have in the event of civil unrest or disaster. It just may include a knock on your house… if they knock at all.

The November Election is really about whether or not we continue to fight for freedom abroad… and at home… it’s as simple as that.

Handguns are worthless… Until you need one!

Have you ever had to defend yourself or someone you love from an intruder?

Part of the worries of a modern world is waking up in the middle of the night to the sounds of someone breaking into your home. What will you do? Call 911 and hope someone comes along to save the day?

Unfortunately, all too often today, some people expect that someone else will teach our kids what they need to know, help us through our interpersonal relationships and defend us from the nasties of our world. Too few rely on themselves or take responsibility to solve their own challenges.

Part of this naive thinking is that if we some how control guns then violent crime will disappear, people will use words and not their fists and the trains will run on time.

Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a report on children’s deaths due to firearms. In 1999, 88 children died from firearm accidents. One article summarizes: “Far fewer children die each year in firearm incidents than from car accidents, fires, poisoning, suffocation, or drowning.”
