Time to Stop Buying from 'Government Motors'

Well, my dear fellow citizens, it is time for all Americans to start putting their money where their mouth is. Americans by overwhelming majorities are telling pollsters they oppose bailouts of the auto industry, as well as Wall Street and the banking sector.

Now that Obama has pulled off the ultimate bailout--the government takeover of a private corporation in addition to the billions in tax money he has given it--it is now time for us, the consumers, to boycott 'Government Motors.'

We can show our total disdain for the Obama economic plan by refusing to buy anything made by G.M. or Chrysler.

Read all about this call for American common-sense purchasing at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Don't let Barack Obama dictate the type of vehicle you have to drive! Refuse to buy from a socialized auto company!

Senate Kills Auto Bailout Deal

Under the threat of a Republican filibuster and the ire of the American public, the Democrat-controlled Senate late Thursday night killed the auto bailout deal, effectively ending any federal help for the Big 3 automakers during this session of Congress.

GOP Senators Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Richard Shelby of Alabama, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and a few others listened to their constituents and threatened to effectively shut down debate on the bailout bill with a filibuster.

A filibuster wasn't necessary, however, as the bill failed overwhelmingly.

Michelle Malkin has the complete, late-breaking update on the vote.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 12/10/08

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

Nicki at the Liberty Zone comments on the Blagojevich corruption scandal in Illinois.

Traction Control is presently in a place where it is only -17F. A warm day in these days of 'global warming.'

Pax Parabellum reports that Governor Blagojevich was a gun owner, although he is one of the most rabid anti-gun politicians in the country. But not anymore. He's been ordered to turn in his permit.

Mike McCarville reminds us that although the Blagojevich scandal reaches deep, there is no indication or evidence linking Barack Obama to it in any way.

From Michelle Malkin:
*The Obama camp has called for Blagojevich to resign
*5 Republicans are ready to filibuster the auto bailout
*The final details of the auto bailout bill, vote may be Sat.

Texas Fred has an excellent post on the bailout. Be sure to see the graphic.

Breda posts the audio from last night's edition of Gun Nuts Radio.

Insight on Freedom has the MUST-read of the day on socialized medicine and how this monstrosity will probably cost the chronically ill their lives. You MUST read this!

The Rustmeister comments on the 'percenters' and makes a good point about his line in the sand.

Xrlq provides excellent reading on 'guns, medicine, and selective mission creep.'

The Sipsey Street Irregulars issue a 'raid alert' for Michigan. Interesting!

Codrea's War on Guns has ominous news from Nassau County, New York. Don't be surprised if the next infringement is in the realm of requiring potential gun owners to verify they are not on tranquilizers, antidepressants, or even narcotic sleep medications.

Gun Rights Examiner posts Codrea's column for today entitled, 'You Got to Protect Yourself.'

Western Rifle Shooters Association shares words of wisdom from the great Colonel Jeff Cooper.

Mindful Musings presents a sobering but essential read entitled, 'Are You Ready?'

JR says that the Houston Chronicle has taken aim at gun rights in Texas.

Roberta X provides an excellent read on government and lines in the sand. And I agree with her about government. If it's big enough to do everything for you, it's big enough to take everything you have away from you (my interpretation of her words).

Gateway Pundit reports that despite his denials, Obama met with Blagojevich on Nov. 5 to discuss his Senate seat.

Sebastian posts an interesting read entitled, 'Republican Revolutions.'

Robb Allen observes that often foreign-born American citizens understand freedom better than we do.
