Americans are Stupid you say? Why yes, yes they are.

I'm not sure how much NBA b'ball, 'The View' or 'merican Idle you've gotta watch to be THIS stupid, but I'm betting it's a lot!

A new poll finds that many Americans are confused about the health care overhaul legislation commonly called “Obamacare.”

The Kaiser Family Foundation released results of a non-partisan study today finding more than 40 percent did not even know the law was in place.

“Four in ten Americans (42%) are unaware that the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is still the law of the land,” the report says, “including 12 percent who believe the law has been repealed by Congress, 7 percent who believe it has been overturned by the Supreme Court and 23 percent who say they don’t know enough to say what the status of the law is.”

The survey showed public opinion on Obamacare is at its second-lowest rating in the past two years.
Less than half – 40 percent – of adults viewed the ACA favorably, whereas 35 percent said they viewed it unfavorably. Another 24 percent said they did not know or refused to answer.
.
OVER 40% of Americans are clueless, brainless but I'm betting they are NOT Voter ID-less!!  These ass munch, bone head, non-reading MFers mostly VOTE, I'm bettin ya on it!  The older I get, the more I'm certain that we need some sort of 'qualification' for voting.

I don't know if that means property ownership or a periodic civics test, I simply don't know.  But ANYONE over 18 in this country who doesn't know this thing PASSED and is about to be shoved down our throats, has no business voicing their opion on HOW the country is run!

More on criminal exemptions

I thought this was kind of funny considering the previous post on headlines from 2059.  Especially moving down to registering fingernail clippers.

A retired AZ state trooper forwarded some info to me that I thought was quite interesting.

Convicted FELONS are NOT required to register their firearms.

Yep you read that right. 

Way back when I was a young pup, and not old enough to vote...well barely out of diapers actually, in the 1968 US Supreme Court case Haynes v. US the following was determined: 

Haynes, a convicted felon, was convicted of unlawful possession of an unregistered short-barreled shotgun. He argued that for a convicted felon to register a gun was effectively an announcement to the government that he was breaking the law and that registration violated his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. The court, by an 7-1 margin, agreed,

the conclusion:  "We hold that a proper claim of the constitutional privilege against self-incrimination provides a full defense to prosecutions either for failure to register a firearm or for possession of an unregistered firearm." (Summary from American Rifleman, March 2000, page 20)

So, when these gun registration schemes are announced, be aware that only lawful gun owners will be required to register their firearms. Unlawful owners are exempted from registration laws due to their constitutional protection against self-incrimination.

Once again, the conclusion is the same as the last 5 years.....yes the American people, really are THAT stupid.

I'm thinking we need another "Weekly" sort of column...

The latest idiotoid happenings in both Boston, MA and West, TX have brought me to a conclusion.  We need to start addressing the way MSM looks at "US" [non-Lib, non-hand wringers, non-Obama-ass-kissers] as the source of all evil in the world.  I'm going to start looking for articles attacking Conservatives, Conservative Ideals, gun owners, NRA Members, Cristians, Jews, or more to the point actually, anyone who believes in a G-D other than a Radical kill-'em'-all-an'-let-Allah-sort-'em-out deity.

I want to take a paragraph or two, add it to the article, THEN go back and change names / titles / beliefs to words the Left abhors, and see HOW they sound.  I started thinking about doing articles like this, when I heard the following.
.
.
Just hours after explosions rocked the Boston Marathon on Monday, Chris Matthews speculated, "Normally domestic terrorists, people, tend to be on the far right." He then reconsidered and suggested, "...That’s not a good category, just extremists, let’s call them that." 
.

Here's what I propose, change that statement above, and it's originator, to read like this.

.

Just hours after explosions rocked the Boston Marathon on Monday, Chris Matthews speculated, "Normally domestic terrorists, people, tend to be niggers / kikes / spics/ wet backs / wops / hunkys / etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum." He then reconsidered and suggested, "...That’s not a good category, just extremists, let’s call them that."

I'm not sure if it'll draw in any more 'viewers' to the site, but it might get us some new blood in the water.  If it seems over the top, consider first I'm on some new 'unpleasant' meds and I'm less happy than usual!

Friday Funnies

Yeah...




I know it's Monday. If you're Sheldon Cooper or such, don't read it....


 I decided to have my colonoscopy carried out while
visiting friends in San Francisco, where the beautiful nurses are
allegedly much more gentle and accommodating.
     As I lay naked on my side on the table, the gorgeous nurse began my
procedure.
     "Don't worry, at this stage of the procedure it's quite normal to
get an erection," the nurse told me.
    "I haven't got an erection," I replied.
    "No, but I have," replied the nurse.

Don't get a colonoscopy in San Francisco ....

Finally, A Win!

By now, i'm sure you all know of the huge defeat suffered in congress by the anti-gun Left. It was a stunning slap-in-the-face to the Marxist-in-Chief, and also to NYC's queen Bloomberg who believes his mega-wealth can alter public opinion around the country as easily as it does in NYC. But don't be so foolish as to think this war against the 2nd Amendment is over. The Left has been trying to disarm America for generations, and you can count on the fact that they won't be giving up any time soon.

What i couldn't help but notice this morning, while watching the morning "news" shows, was how "absolutely livid" the Left is with this defeat. It was pure joy for me to watch the commies on MSNBC, and especially the pinko-RINO Joe Scarborough, who has the gall to call himself a "conservative republican", ranting like a guy with his hair on fire. They control the WH, and the senate, and they still lost! "Over 95% of the American people favor strict gun control ", Scarborough said. Yes, they do love to invent their own facts.

It's a beautiful morning...

Some Really Scary Stuff

 What's really scary about this story is, that it could easily happen to any one of us. Now that the Left is trying their best to demonize anyone who believes in the 2nd Amendment, and who believes in his/her right to self defense, situations like this one could become more common.

Make no mistake, a situation like this one could very easily turn dangerous and deadly, especially if you're dealing with a couple of small town "goobers" with badges as the video clearly shows. In many cases, they have no idea what the law is or what they're doing, so they usually do something, anything, even if it's wrong. This story is a perfect example of that

http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/04/veteran-arrested-for-legally-but-rudely-displaying-rifle/

And for more bad news, well, for NY'ers anyway, the SCOTUS has refused to hear a challenge to comrade Cuomo's new gun law, a law that is clearly designed to ban people from owning guns in NY. Perhaps the Supremes know they'll be dealing with a slew of gun cases soon and didn't want to start yet? I don't know, but i hope it's just that simple and not a peek at how they're thinking. Lots-a-luck if this should spread across the country.

Ancestry.com

Judy Walkman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California ,
was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that
Senator Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse
stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid
share this common ancestor.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in
Montana territory:

On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this
inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison
1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton
detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'

So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their
great-great uncle.


Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical
sketch for her genealogy research:

"Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business
empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and
intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted
several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to
resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a
vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889
Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when
the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."

Now that's real Political Spin!!

Of the total of 44 US Presidents: Obama rated 5th best president ever. I was just reading a Democratic publicity release that said, "...after a little more than 4 years, Obama has been rated the 5th best president ever."

4. Jimmy Carter came in 4^th

State Sponsored Terrorism - American Style

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/09/epa-acknowledges-giving-out-personal-info-in-request-that-included-data-on/?test=latestnews

Ok, so....the EPA, a non-cabinet level tax-sucking government organization has released personal information: name, address, phone number, email, of some 10k farmers and ranchers in 29 states to extremist environmental organizations.

Rational: Freedom of Information Act request

After releasing the information, and after recieving a complaint, the EPA requested that the extremist organizations return the information.

In this day of the internet and computer files, does anyone really believe the lie that any of those organizations will return the information without first making a copy?

In this day of personal attacks, does anyone believe that these enviro-terrorist organizations won't target farmer Tom's 3rd grade daughter, at school, if they think that it will get them the publicity that they seek? 

With a regime that is as "transparent" as this one is, you would think that they would not be so ready to transmit information to whoever might want it....but then again, if they can get eco-terrorists to do their dirty work for them.....

Deception 101

 With the gun debate still raging, and with the Left starting to realize they will not get all the things they want, they have decided to resort to just one of their favorite tools. Deception. Present an illusion to the American sheeple, then sit back and allow the MSM to feed it to them.

This time, it's a group of left-wing Demoncrat activists posing as "an organization of hunters and gun enthusiasts". They then call in their fellow Leftists in the MSM who conduct one of their phony polls within this small group. They then present that highly-biased and inaccurate poll result to the public as an indication of how (all) hunters really feel. Cute, and it's usually effective, since the public is too busy tweeting to care or pay attention.

So what does this say about the Left? It says they're desperate. The tragic Newton shootings gave the Left the biggest and best opportunity to disarm law-abiding Americans they've had in a long time. They realize that if they throw enough gun control ideas against the wall, no matter how ridiculous or radical, some of them just might stick...

War On Drugs? LOL!!

For decades, we have been involved in this so-called "war on drugs". I say so-called because it's not a real war. Like the Viet Nam war, it's a war that was meant to be fought, not won. There's no money to be made winning a war, but plenty in fighting one. I think the fact that since the war started, we've spent Hundreds-of-Billions and have almost nothing to show for it proves the point. In fact, many would say it's actually gotten worse, and i agree.

More proof that the problem has gotten worse is the fact that hundreds of American citizens, "on American soil", are assaulted, kidnapped, and murdered every year by drug criminals who are in this country illegally. Far too often, these criminals simply waltz into the country, commit their drug deals, kidnappings, robberies and murders, then simply stroll back into Mexico, usually never to be seen again. 

But that's all changing now. The drug criminals, seeing that although we are a nation of laws, we usually lack the brains, will, or backbone to punish criminals, are moving north. And believe me, we haven't seen real, brutal crime yet, not when compared to what Mexican drug criminals do on a daily basis. But we will see, and very soon...
