On the same day in armed America: a 10-year-old killed in apparently random gun violence and it's now legal to carry a concealed weapon in a church in Arkansas.





I am reading quantumheat.org. Yeah, I know, but follow the data.
I don't suppose you'd commemnt on Virginia's possible move to print their own state money...possibly replacing the fed's frn...hopefully disallowing monetary conversion or even use of frns within the state ?...each case of such would have to be adjudicated for validity per the Constitution, regardless of what has been "legal" for 100 years, as the original is so abusive as to go against the "general welfare" clause of the Constitution IMO. the fed must GO ! Let's hope the other states catch on to this and legislate reciprocal agreements to "end the fed" !
Have a grand time in the eighteenth century, and let us know how that works out for you.
A 102 pound woman?

Ugh! So embarrassing! Fixed. Thanks.
Ah, Republicans. They shout from the tops of mountains about how government control is top-down bullying and how this nation was founded upon individualism. They shout that if the government would just get out of the way, then life would be so much better.
Then, they proceed to to tell gay folks that they can't get married and can't get benefits that hetero couples get. They talk about jobs, jobs, jobs, then whip up a storm of abortion-restriction bills.
A true small government conservative would be pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage, period.
Ted Nugent attending the State of the Union I wonder if the Secret Service can stop him from attending due to the threats he made on the President I would be happy if they just took him out of his seat and pulled a Rodney King on his ass
I wouldn't want to touch a man whose only talent is the ability to soil himself at will.
Maybe if we're lucky he'll bring his gun and the Secret Service can take him out. That way he can keep his promise about being dead by April.
More guns and serpent handling in churches. These problems will solve themselves.
I doubt that the president will protect Social Security. He will trim the growth of Social Security benefits as part of a broader deficit-cutting deal. This is the "good cop / bad cop game that both parties play with one another in order to accomplish their mutual agendas. This is a very disturbing misdeed that undeservedly is going to be levied on the American People. I feel that there is cause for legal action here but I'm not an attorney. In this case I wish that I was.
Guess the people of Arkansas never heard the Carol King song "Smackwater Jack"
OBJECTIVE TAKE: U.S./Benghazi Embassy
The 2009 and 2010, Republican House insisted on two major cuts to Foreign Security in the budget because our two wars were winding down, and that made rational sense. Normally, Democratic leaders, and our government, are good at juggling money to keep necessary programs afloat no matter how steep the budget cuts. However, the cuts to Foreign Security combined with the White House establishing policies and directives to tighten the borrowing of money, of which the Obama Administration deserves credit, caused the U.S. Department of State to fail in borrowing the money for that Embassy’s Security. Our CIA, where the budget cuts left our nearest CIA Officer some odd 700 miles away from Benghazi, failed our U.S. Security because of only financial reasons.
Nobody and no party, or Government Institution, is to blame.
It is important to me, however, that terrorists do not see our Embassies as vulnerable do to the nation’s current lack of the flow of money, and that politics, of neither party, gets in the way of protecting our Embassies or our standing in the world. I simply think that the White House needs to, slightly, loosen the policies surrounding the State Department’s borrowing of money in certain situations. Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders need to acknowledge, and remember, these security problems when proposing their amounts in budget cuts.
Thank you all and I hope everyone can appreciate that take.
May God Bless the Democracy of The United States of America, and may America’s People and Leaders work with understanding, tolerance, and forgiveness to keep our Democracy whole.
This is my recent twitter suggestion on the gun/violence legislation: "Require all gun manufacturers that sell in the U.S., to register the ballistic finger print with the serial number." Obviously, not all weapons have a ballistic finger print, but those that are used most in criminally violent activities do. This would provide the opportunity for law enforcement to trace the slugs left in individuals back to a specific weapon. Unlike the process now that requires the weapon to be recovered to match ballistic results, a starting place for the weapon used would be available. This would also affect the trace on illegal weapon trafficking. Would this infringe on our 2nd ammendant rights? What do you think?
Bring back the death penality for murders committed with firearms - no questions asked - no plea bargins of any kind.
We need very strict tough laws dealing with gun violence, such as:
1.) Any felony crime committed with a firearm guarantees a MINIUM of 10 years in a FEDERAL prison. This includes firearm straw purchases(which is a crime).
2.) If a person committs murder with a firearm then execution.
Of course both the above means tried and convicted. For both of the above there would be no plea bargins, no insanity or temporary insanity pleas, no mental instability pleas, no other pleas, no reduced sentences and no age limitations.
Examples:
If a 15 yr old gangbanger is ordered by his/her gang leader to "do a hit" on rival gang members resulting in deaths and the 15 yr old is caught then rats on the gang leader, both are executed. If no deaths then both get minimum 10 years in prison.
If a person holds up a convenience store using a firearm - minimum 10 years in prison.
Am I totally crazy or did Rachel make a reference to her mother-in-law on Monday's show? Have I missed something? Or did something just slip out? I'm pretty sure I wasn't drunk or dreaming (but I was eating soup at the time and managed to hit my mouth, so I couldn't have been drunk, and the soup didn't try to eat me, so I couldn't have been dreaming).
