5/24/2012 5:49:00 PM IN MY INBOX: The Full Article Here: http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE59E0Q920091015 U.S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto. The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush's administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better. On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms. The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment. This is not a joke nor a false warning. As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control. Please forward this message to others who may be concerned about the direction in which our country is headed. We are being led like a lamb to the slaughter (Socialism/Dictatorship). DON'T KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT TO YOUR LIST |

5/24/2012 6:02:25 PM IN MY INBOX: I AM FORWARDING THIS EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED TODAY TO A FEW OF THE "THINKERS" IN MY ADDRESS BOOK. IT REFLECTS THE FEELINGS OF A LOT OF PEOPLE I have never heard this said as simply or as well. Class war at its best. The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff. And, the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop. And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting! Now... the people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist. So... the people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place. We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff. Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them. The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it. ELECTION 2012 IS COMING A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves! I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON !!! For all our sake PLEASE Take a Stand!!! Obama: Gone! Borders: Closed! Language: English only Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare! NO freebies to: Non-Citizens! We, the people, are coming. Only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%. What will you do? "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams |

5/24/2012 6:05:00 PM Foreign treaties can not circumvent the constitution. I would take a law to be passed to make it illegal to own fire arms in order for this scenario to work. Get the facts and question everything including your government. |

6/1/2012 9:01:55 AM Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.. The following is his reply: Theologically - no... Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia. Religiously - no.... Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam. (Quran, 2:256)(Koran) Scripturally - no.... Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran. Geographically - no... Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day. Socially - no... Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews. Politically - no..... Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan. Domestically - no.... Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34 ) Intellectually - no... Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt. Philosophically - no... Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic. Spiritually - no.... Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' The Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran's 99 excellent names. Therefore, after much study and deliberation... Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. - - - They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and 'good' Americans. Call it what you wish it's still the truth.. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand! Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. |

6/5/2012 2:34:49 PM Subject: Occupy Wall Street A great article. One of the most intellectual human beings in this country, hits it right on the head ! ! ! Description: Description: [] Occupy Wall Street by Thomas Sowell By Dr. Thomas Sowell The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly. It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and of murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society. It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: of defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been always rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been now shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties. It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and all other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor. It is the America that Obama and the Democrat Party have now created with all the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities. Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in 3 years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of. The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America. "Socialism, in general, has a record of failure that's so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." Dr. Thomas Sowell (A National Humanities Medal Winner) The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are out numbered by the people that vote for a living. |

6/12/2012 12:28:05 AM Babbler Barack Tells It Like It Isn’t By Robert Ringer - Friday, May 25, 2012 I keep thinking that Babbler Barack can’t outdo his last performance, but just about every day he manages to prove me wrong. In a press conference this week, in talking about private equity firms like Bain Capital, he said: But understand that their priority is to maximize profits. And that’s not always going to be good for communities or businesses or workers. And when you’re president, as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, then your job is not simply to maximize profits. Your job is to figure out how everyone in the country has a fair shot. Your job is to think about those workers who get laid off and how are we paying for their retraining. Your job is to think about how those communities can start creating new clusters so they can attract new businesses. Your job as president is to think about how do we set up an equitable tax system so that everybody is paying their fair share that allows us then to invest in science and technology and infrastructure, all of which will help us grow. And so, if your main argument for how to grow the economy is, ‘I knew how to make a lot of money for investors, then you’re missing what this job is about.’ Yes, it was all spoken with a straight face. Now, let’s do a bit of dissection on the Babbler’s words. Obama: “But understand that their priority is to maximize profits. And that’s not always going to be good for communities or businesses or workers.” Dissection … First of all, profits are always good for “communities, businesses, and workers.” Do you know any unsuccessful companies that are better for communities, businesses, and workers than those that are successful? Second, it doesn’t matter. That’s right, even if making money were bad for communities, businesses, and workers, it wouldn’t be relevant. A company doesn’t have an obligation to do what’s best for others. It may give progressives apoplexy, but, sorry, a company’s only obligation is to make as much money as possible for its shareholders. Obama: “And when you’re president, as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, then your job is not simply to maximize profits.” Dissection … I agree. A president’s job is not to maximize or minimize profits, because a private company’s profits or losses are none of his business. Obama: “Your job is to figure out how everyone in the country has a fair shot.” Dissection … Wrong. Your job is to defend the Constitution and protect people’s property. But, even so, giving “everyone in the country … a fair shot” is nothing more than populist babble. Fair shot is a totally subjective term. To a collectivist, “fair shot” means equalizing results. And that most definitely is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they made the Constitution the law of the land. Obama: “Your job is to think about those workers who get laid off and how are we paying for their retraining.” Dissection … Wrong again. Your job is to defend the Constitution and protect people’s property — period. If a person loses his job, it’s his problem to get “retrained” and find another job. The only way the government can provide retraining to some citizens is to force other citizens to hand over more of the fruits of their labor to them. Obama: “Your job is to think about how those communities can start creating new clusters so they can attract new businesses.” Dissection … “Clusters?” Like so much of what Babbler Barack says, this statement is unintelligible … so, no comment. Obama: “Your job as president is to think about how do we set up an equitable tax system so that everybody is paying their fair share that allows us then to invest in science and technology and infrastructure, all of which will help us grow.” Dissection … Again, it is not a president’s job “to think about how do we set up an equitable tax system so that everybody is paying their fair share.” Barack, can’t you get that Constitution thing through your ideologically diseased brain? I don’t need to elaborate on fair share, as that’s become a laughable term to any halfway serious person with an IQ above fifty-three. “Allows us then to invest in …” No, no, and no! “Us” means politicians, and it’s not the job of politicians to invest in anything. Finally, there is nothing the government can do to help the economy grow. Entrepreneurs and businesses make the economy grow. Government only gets in their way. Obama: “And so, if your main argument for how to grow the economy is, ‘I knew how to make a lot of money for investors, then you’re missing what this job is about.’” Dissection … I agree! Just because someone makes a lot of money for investors doesn’t mean he knows how to be a good president, because it’s not the president’s job to make money for anyone. What makes a good president is his commitment to defending the Constitution and protecting people’s property. I can’t wait … (yawn) … to hear what the Babbler has to say at his next press conference. Who knows, it may be about something original, like social justice … or shared prosperity … or the fat cats on Wall Street. Lucky that we have someone as exciting as Mitt Romney in the race to prevent us from becoming bored.
