Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/7/09...

...is non-existent! Server problems for half the day prevented me from doing the Roundup. I do apologize for that because I saw some of your stuff you have posted today, and it's great reading.

But, the Roundup will be back tomorrow, full force, on THIS SITE, not at the Examiner.

I have provided some news stories and links today that should be of great interest. I hope you will read them and follow the links.

Have a great day...

Buckley's Slam-Dunk of Obama

Friends, I have a very personal article today on my political mentor, William F. Buckley, Jr. One of his last articles before his death was a highly perceptive piece entitled, 'Inside Obama.'

This is classic Buckley. And my commentary about it is at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

As a bonus feature I have included a special section entitled, 'Memories of Buckley,' as I recount some of my fondest memories of a man who taught me many lessons about conservatism and life in general. It is a very personal, brief memoir. I hope you will read it.

SHOCKING NEW SCANDAL AT ACORN

Folks, it is beginning to look like my suspicions, which I voiced last November concerning the results of the 2008 Presidential election, may be confirmed.

A shocking new scandal has been uncovered at ACORN involving the organization's practice of discarding Republican voter registration forms. This was being done even as the group loaded up the Democratic side of the registrations, often using phony names or the names of the deceased.

My favorite Jewish lady in all the world, Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, has a major article on this scandal today.

By the way, did you notice Pamela's articles are now appearing in some of the major conservative magazines and websites, such as Human Events, NewsMax, and others?

Way to go, Pamela!!

U.N. Takes Aim at our Ammo Supply

If the United Nations gets its way, our ammo supply will simply dry up. Barack Obama and his team have made it clear they believe U.S. law is subservient to the United Nations.

So what does that tell you about the U.N.'s push to disarm citizens by taking away their ammo?

A storm is coming. So get ready.

Report: Gun-Grabber Bloomberg Goes Underground

You who are regular readers of The Liberty Sphere know that NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is one of the most rabid anti-gun bigots in the country. This is why we refer to him here on The Liberty Sphere as 'the Bastard.'

You also are aware that the Bastard started a group that is dedicated to getting rid of the handguns owned by the citizenry. I forgot what their official name is, but it doesn't matter. I refer to them as 'the Bastard's Mayors Against Constitutional Rights.'

Now, it would seem, the Bastard has gone underground.

The group is still very active publicly. But the Bastard is undercover, continuing his quest to undermine the Second Amendment rights of the citizens. The article you will find by clicking the link above will show you how.

Hoyer Confirms End-Run Suspicions Concerning Healthcare Bill

Those of us who have been warning you for months that Congressional Democrats and Barack Obama will attempt to shove their vision of government-run healthcare down our throats using sly, end-run tactics have now been vindicated.

Steny Hoyer, Senate Democratic Majority Leader (and one who needs to go, I might add), admitted today that he may well send the current healthcare bill in its present form, without any changes, directly to Barack Obama for his signature.

This would effectively by-pass continued debate, even without having to pass through a Senate-House conference committee--which is standard procedure.

Make no mistake, my friends, when politicians wish to engage in stealth legislation and by-pass standard procedure, we can be assured we are getting screwed. There is something in the bill they don't want the public to see. They want no public scrutiny and they certainly want no protest.

The Founders of this Republic referred to such chicanery as 'tyranny.'

Get Set--Nanny State Coming After You With a Needle!

Apparently Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's ultra-Leftwing Secretary of Health and Human Services, has inched one step closer to calling for mandatory swine flu vaccinations.

This headline and news story quotes Sebelius as saying, 'Americans must get swine flu vaccinations.'

Better get set, my friends, the Nanny State is coming after you with a needle.

Now, I am not totally against vaccinations and other prudent precautions. Using one's head about these things rather than engaging in knee-jerk reactions is of utmost importance.

However, I just don't take very kindly to anybody in this government telling me I must do anything!

Barack, Kathleen, and company could give us a little more credit for our intelligence than this. I am a grown adult, older than both Obama and Sebelius, and I have sense enough to make my own healthcare decisions without their sticking their noses into my business.

Message to the Nanny State--GO AWAY! BEGONE! AWAY WITH YOU!

Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/6/09

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

The Roundup...click the link.

Today the Second Amendment News Roundup is posted at Columbia Conservative Examiner as part of a test marketing strategy. Everything is the same as always, just a different venue.

Congressional Dems Resist Public's Right to Know

I have coined a term that describes this 111th Congress, as led by the Democrats. It's 'the Stealth Congress.'

They love passing legislation that no one has read, and they certainly don't want YOU, the citizen, to know what's really contained in these bills.

I discuss this issue today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Give it a read. Consider subscribing. It's FREE. You may even consider telling a friend...

Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/5/09

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

David Codrea asks a pivotal question that goes to the core of the integrity of Supreme Court Justice Sonja Sotomayor--will she recuse herself from the Chicago gun case? If she has an ounce of integrity, she will.

Texas Fred reports breaking news that at least 3 people have been injured in a Florida shooting range mishap.

The Rustmeister informs us of a cigar event in Memphis TODAY at 4 PM. Wish I could be there. Nothing like a good cigar...especially in these Obama days...give me some Scotch with it as well.

Walls of the City points to 'a minor inconsistency.' Interesting...

Say Uncle notes the inexcusable buffoonery of several federal law enforcement agencies who raided and ransacked the home of a 60-year-old grandmother for....raising orchids. Sheesh!

Days of our Trailers has a highly informative read on 'selective correlations' concerning the stats some people use with regard to firearms and crime.

Western Rifle Shooters Association posts essential reading on the anniversary celebrations of the Communist takeover of China and the stupidity of those within the current U.S. government who laud this human rights atrocity and point to supposed 'warm relations' between the 2 nations.

Tam provides some notes from the shooting range. This lady knows guns better than I know ice cream, pie, pizza, cigars, Scotch, and everything else I'm not supposed to have. And you people wonder why I am often in a bad mood...

Way Up North also tells about his day at the shooting range yesterday way up in the great state of Alaska--home to the next President of the United States, Sarah Palin.

The war in Afghanistan is quickly deteriorating. And the President's apathy and inattention are making matters worse.

This is a Sunday version of the 2nd Amendment News Roundup, except it is posted at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Today's edition has 14 links to your guns-and-liberty stories. Take a look. You may well be listed there.

Will Media Be Be Honest about 'Barack the Bumbler?'

The key question that arises in the aftermath of Obama's failure to get the Olympics in Chicago is whether or not the state-run-media (SRM) will pick up on and report honestly the 'Barack the Bumbler' angle.

If the media have one ounce of integrity left, they will. But don't hold your breath.

However, it is getting much more difficult for the press, particularly the Washington Press corp, to continue making excuses for this President.

The full story can be found HERE.

College Football!

I don't like the NFL but I love college football.

Tonight at 7 PM, my Alma mater, the University of South Carolina will take on South Carolina State at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia. Carolina will have a great opportunity to go 3-1 with a win today.

The Gamecocks are looking good this year as freshman quarterback Steven Garcia has begun to sharpen his skills under the careful guidance of 'the old ball coach,' Steve Spurrier.

Clemson University is playing Maryland, and in the 3rd quarter they are losing 17-13.

In other football news outside South Carolina, the Crimson Tide of Alabama is beating Kentucky at the half by a score of 21-6.

One Question Politicians Should Be Forced to Answer

Over the past 100 years, particularly since the 1950s, our government has gradually and increasingly trampled on the concepts, provisions, and governmental limitations set forth in the U.S. Constitution.

Therefore, there is but one vital question that every candidate for Congress/Senate/Presidency should be FORCED to answer.

Can you guess by now what that question is?

'Doubts'

From the Times of London: 'Obama's Olympic Failure will only add to doubts about his Presidency.'

Read it all.

Shocking Info Emerges on Yet Another 'Czar'

The more we find out about all of Obama's 'czars,' which have formed an ominous 'shadow government' behind the scenes, the more disgusted the public becomes with this Administration.

Ever heard of Kevin Jennings?

Well, you should, and if not you need to get to know him very well. This man, of all people, is our 'school safety' czar.

The wolves are guarding the hen house.

New Figures--Unemployment Soars!

The new figures have been released from the government concerning the jobless rate in America.

A key fact to remember is that the way these figures are calculated has changed since the 1930s through the early 1990s. Since that time the government does NOT figure in those who were laid off and were forced to settle for part-time jobs, or those who gave up looking for work altogether out of sheer despair.

The jobless rate, according to the present method of calculation, is now 9.8%. Roughly 230,000 more jobs were lost in the month of September alone.

But when the old method of calculating joblessness is used, the unemployment rate in the U.S. stands at a whopping 17%--the highest since the 1930s.

Obama told Americans all across the land during the campaign that his 'stimulus package' would prevent any more jobs from being lost. So far, the opposite has happened as the unemployment rate keeps moving upward.

WOW! You Don't Say!

One Democratic Senator on the Senate Finance Committee said the following about the 'healthcare reform' bill Congress is considering:

Sen. Thomas Carper (D.-Del.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, told CNSNews.com that he does not “expect” to read the actual legislative language of the committee’s health care bill because it is “confusing” and that anyone who claims they are going to read it and understand it is fooling people.

“I don’t expect to actually read the legislative language because reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I’ve ever read in my life,” Carper told CNSNews.com.

And so, Senator, the question is, how can you or anyone else in your Party in Congress vote in favor of bills that you clearly do not comprehend?

One of the writers at Walls of the City lost his Dad yesterday morning. He was only 61. Let's send some good thoughts and prayers their way...

Gun Rights and Legal Quackery

The case that has been accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court on the Chicago gun ban highlights a certain aspect of American jurisprudence that needs a correction.

This issue is discussed in depth in my new essay at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Although it is a shame that things have come to this in the United States of America, the Court has a golden opportunity to correct a glaring error with regard to our gun rights.
