Good Gun v. Bad Gun – What Liberals Need to Understand

Posted by Jack

The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, FL, sub shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former pilot for two presidents. He doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, he works out everyday. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night. According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at 1949 N. Pine Rd. Just after 11 p.m. There was a lone diner — Lovell, who was finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well. They got his money. But then Lovell pulled his handgun, opened fire, shooting one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head. When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop. K-9 units found the other in the bushes of a nearby business.

Had Democrats been successful the only people armed would have been the robbers.

In other news today… An 85-year-old woman boldly went for her gun and busted a would-be burglar inside her home, then forced him to call police while she kept him in her sights. Leda Smith heard someone break into her home Sunday afternoon and grabbed the .22-caliber revolver she had been keeping by her bed since a neighbor’s home was burglarized a few weeks ago.

Had Democrats been successful the pistol would at the very least have been inside a gun safe and inaccessable when needed most or banned from ownership altogether.

In neither case were the police capable of responding in time to intervene, it was up to the citizens to protect themselves.

$3 Billion Investment – Flushed

thumb_Business_598.jpgPosted by Tina

The demise of touch-screen voting has produced a graveyard of expensive corpses: Warehouses stacked with thousands of carefully wrapped voting machines that have been shelved because of doubts about vanishing votes and vulnerability to hackers. What to do with this high-tech junkyard is a multimillion-dollar question. One manufacturer offered $1 a piece to take back its ATM-like machines. Some states are offering the devices for sale on eBay… *** It wasn’t supposed to be this way. After the disputed 2000 presidential recount, Congress provided more than $3 billion to replace punch card and lever-operated machines. State officials across the country said the new systems would eliminate human error and political tampering. *** Beginning last year, states including California, Ohio and Florida abruptly ordered election officials to mothball their electronic machines.

A very costly “fini” to the hanging chad drama.

Obama’s Tax Plan is Really Welfare

By PETER FERRARA, August 19, 2008; WSJ

Barack Obama’s tax plan is the opposite of supply-side economics. He proposes to raise marginal rates for just about every federal tax. He also proposes a raft of tax credits that taxpayers can receive if they engage in various government-specified activities. Read more….

18 YEAR OLD DRINKING LIMIT IN CALIF.

by Jack Lee

“RALEIGH, North Carolina – College presidents from about 100 of the best-known U.S. universities, including Duke, Dartmouth and Ohio State, are calling on lawmakers to consider lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18, saying current laws actually encourage dangerous binge drinking on campus.

The movement called the Amethyst Initiative began quietly recruiting presidents more than a year ago to provoke national debate about the U.S. drinking age, which is among the highest in the world.’

How To Save The Government $5 Million

A president’s pension currently is $191,300 per year.

Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president. Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension. Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.

How’s that for non-partisan thinking???

Offer We Cant Refuse

Posted by Tina

Another former province of the evil empire wants to participate in U.S. missile defense plans. It’s an offer we can’t refuse. As NATO meets in emergency session, it should welcome two new members. NATO leaders from 26 member countries are scheduled to meet Tuesday to consider possible responses to the Russian invasion of Georgia. A move we would recommend is approve the membership of two former Soviet satellites Georgia and Ukraine. – IBD Editorial

Again I say…here, here!

Missing Records

250px-WHMapRoomSE.jpegPosted by Tina

Just to review, the public cannot get access to paperwork related grants distributed by then-state-legislator Obama (records from 1997 to 2000 aren’t available); his state legislative office records (which he says may have been thrown out); he refuses to release a specific list of law clients, instead giving a list of all of his firm’s clients, numbering several hundred each year; he won’t release his application to the state bar …. – Jim Geraghty, NRO

Hmmmhas anyone tried looking in the map room at the White House?
