For those who still believe that radical Islam can be contained, or that we can bargain with these people, the following material may change your minds.

Please watch this video of TV host Glenn Beck interviewing then Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in November 2006 first.

Glenn Beck interviews Benjamin Netanyahu

 

The Europeans know much more about what is happening. Global Islamic revolution to dominate the world is right at their door.

Filmmaker Geert Wilders from the Netherlands has made a video documenting the real agenda of Islamic jihad. The video contains disturbing images of violence, torture and death delivered by Muslim terrorists.

Suppressed by Dutch television, the film was published on the Internet video website LiveLeak on the evening of Thursday, March 27, 2008. Over one million viewers watched it during the first hour after it was published. The video was removed shortly after, due to threats. It was restored to the LiveLeak platform after stronger security measures could be put in place.

According to Wikipedia:

The film’s title comes from the Arabic word fitna which is used to describe “disagreement and division among people”, or a “test of faith in times of trial.”

Fitna the Movie: Geert Wilders’ film about the Quran

 

Newt Gingrich recently wrote, “My Plea to Republicans: It’s Time for Real Change to Avoid Real Disaster,” an article that spelled out his reasons for alarm and steps that he believes would restore Republican primacy, or at least competitiveness. Whereas what he wrote was good and accurate, let’s take a look at why the Republican Party has declined into the pit of despair and shadow of gloom to avoid a repetition of this present brush with disaster.

Problems actually began with the 1994 rout of the Democrat Party. Gingrich and others presented a plan, a contract entitled the “Contract with America” which Clinton quickly dubbed, “The Contract On America.” Republican failure to respond quickly and forcefully to that play on words was the first in a series of missteps that Republicans made. Things went relatively well given Clinton’s expertise at political gamesmanship. But Gingrich took the edge off of the Republican “express” when he engaged in a dalliance that lead to divorce and decision to step aside as Speaker at the very time that Republicans were going after Bill Clinton for his own sexual indiscretions.

To his credit, Gingrich had the integrity to step aside, and Clinton took the opportunity to rebound and consolidate his power and control as “Liberal-in-Chief,” and as a result set a precedent of conduct so damaging to the nation that is continues to be played out. Clinton’s conduct has become a model of behavior for an entire generation of children and young adults. Meanwhile, the vacuum left by Gingrich was so profound that Hastert never did fill it but did manage to hang on courtesy of the political momentum left over from the “Class of ‘94.”

The end came incident to ineptitude on the part of the Bush Administration in its prosecution of the War on Terror; the President’s men espousing the reason for the war as being “Weapons of Mass Destruction;” his good ole’ boy embrace of Enron’s Chief, Ken Lay as being a “good man;” and, exacerbated by Viet Nam Hero, Republican Congressman Randy Cunningham covering himself, and like it or not the Republican Party, with shame incident to his conviction for bribery. Mark Foley’s sexual emails to young pages didn’t help the Republican cause and Gingrich’s decision to close down government were all missteps that cost them dearly. Adding fuel to the fire was Democrat grandstanding with the support of their media lackeys, or is it the other way around? Anyway, the above taken together with the Democrat exploiting the “War on Terror,” plus Republican spending like a “drunken sailor” culminated in the ouster of Republicans from majority positions in both Houses of Congress in the mid term election cycle. This was not Republican’s finest hour.

If one thing can be said for Democrats, they know how to fight while Republicans are entirely too genteel and rely too much on what they mistakenly believe are their superior positions with respect to people’s self-interest. Democrats want power, control and their version of an orderly society, which incidentally is impossible given their liberal social underpinnings. Their solution is to throw more money at social programs, hire more sociologists and social planners, and increase the size of government to guide public “sheep.”

Where Republicans have traditionally advanced the notion that individuals can and should seek their own solutions to both personal and societal problems, in stark contrast, as a general rule Democrats believe that Government central planning and control are the answer. The former believe that humankind is endowed by the Creator with the capacity, ingenuity and resourcefulness to solve the problems it encounters and the latter believe that Government and burgeoning bureaucracies can best craft answers; answers that inevitably cost more money that comes from higher taxes and government printing presses.

The essence of the problem succinctly put, is that Republicans became too much like their Democrat counterparts, straying far afield from conservative fiscal and social principles upon which they were elected in a landslide in the first place. Some of the failures were political — opportunities were frittered away in personality jousting and a gross misjudgment concerning government shutdown just before the holidays. Gingrich became the “grinch” that stole the holidays.

Despite his abysmal leadership failure, Gingrich’s analysis and suggestions are excellent in the noted article. It is worth reading and its points worth implementing.

But the larger question arises, “Will the Republican Party continue its leftward movement?” or, “Will it find its way back to conservative principles that guided it in the past and served generations of Americans with distinction?”

We’ll see!

Semper Fidelis

Copyright © May 7th, 2008 by Robert L. Pappas.

March, 2004… I am acclimating fairly well to the terrain and weather and now am embarking on the start of my adventure. I am meeting some of the folks that will become lifelong friends and some heroes in my world. The culture is indeed Islamic and the adherence to the Islamic Law is their way of life. Having stated that, allow me to intersperse an observation. The world in their eyes is limited and their belief is founded on the centuries of teaching, yet they welcomed me warmly and sincerely into their environment. As a technical “expert” here to assist their transition in aviation, I set about earning their respect and listening intently to their history. It was fascinating to learn of their foundations in the country and their associations from the very historical past to the present. I knew that being here and mapping out my little contribution would necessitate understanding not only where they’ve been, but where they wanted to go. The core of these folks that I was being exposed to showed me a very resilient and passionate persona desiring to grow while not abandoning their beliefs. It was after several weeks of getting to know each other that the basis of my education was founded and I could grasp the way forward in my effort. The “vision” was already being modified and it would be a while before it would be established. First… the people…

Several of the gentlemen that I would associate with in my initial efforts had been stalwart survivors of the “Empire” before the Russian event and would have marks of their ability to survive through that conflict as well and the Mujahdeen and the Taliban periods of rule. As I slowly established my position and earned some semblance of respect, their stories began to unfold. I will share just a few of the conditions and the triumphs that I observed.

During the Russian occupation, several of these men had to fight hard to survive not only for their sake but for their families. If they were to continue in their chosen field, they had to master the Russian language. It was the only language they were allowed to use at their work. The constant “observation” was always present and they were always just a whisper away from loss of position or even death. During these times, the mental anguish as well as the occasion of physical force was a constant part of their lives. They for the most part survived…. This sort of juggling continued through the next two phases of life under the Islamic rule of law. Survival included being threatened, and in some cases actual destruction of their homes and some physical damage as well. One of these gentlemen refused to become a communist member and was thrown out of his position. His struggle continued through the next two phases because he wouldn’t swear allegiance to the “jihad” against the infidels and take up arms. His home was further destroyed and during the first phase of rule prior to 2001, was burned to the ground. His passive integrity and refusal to become militant cost him dearly. He survived and is prosperous and is still a prayer leader in his Islamic community.

Another of the gentlemen suffered irreparable damage in his knees from “disciplinary” measures because he also refused to accept concepts of destruction. He continued to honor his faith from a sitting position and supported his family by any means possible except any manner that would diminish his integrity and character. He survives and is part of the vision for the future.

Many of these stories that I wish to tell cannot at this time be revealed for security reasons. There are many more that have come back from refugee camps and have suffered under the current “modern” authorities because they chose to take their families away from immediate danger years ago. They too survive and are the focus of most of my “non-technical” support. Helping them with just small amounts of resources has allowed them to establish means of support in the many small market opportunities that present themselves in a growing culture. The education of their children has become their primary focus and my small collection of friends and associates are quietly insuring that happens.

To the man, the education of their children and all of the children they can assist has become a priority. They know that it is the only way for this country to move into the 21st century and they work hard towards achieving the dream. This is where we can help. Just small donations make great things possible. The adventure had indeed begun and continues. This small sharing is only the tip of the iceberg. There are literally hundreds or thousands of stories that justify our effort and will continue to justify the sacrifices of the American people. Reaching this segment of Afghanistan is where we need to stay focused. It will work, but we need patience and fortitude.

Muslims routinely insult other religions. It is part of the fabric of their culture. If a Muslim converts to another faith, he is an apostate, and should be stoned to death. The Quran tells Muslims to either convert others to Islam, to make them dhimmi or slaves, or to kill them. They are not to be left free to live their lives according to their own beliefs.

But there is no quid pro quo here. Let someone else criticize Islam, or even just tell an unpleasant truth about it, or about its prophet, and violence ensues. Recently in India, Muslim students did not like the wording of an exam question:

RANCHI: Angry groups of Muslims ransacked the main building of Ranchi University on Thursday protesting against the contents of a PG History question paper that sought comments from students on Prophet Muhammad who was described as a “trader” whose career ended as a “raider”.

The language used in the paper so incensed some Muslims that they assembled in large numbers and attacked the university building. Police resorted to lathicharge to disperse the crowd following which the agitators forced down the shutters of shops on the Jharkhand capital’s main road….

[Note: A lathi is a billy club wrapped with metal rings to make it more effective in crowd control. A lathi charge is a technique in which a group of lathi-equipped police come at an unruly crowd swinging the lathis randomly, intended to disperse the crowd.]

Well, it looks like the gloves are off and any pretense of respect for free speech has evaporated as the pro-illegal immigration lobby has decided to attack CNN over Lou Dobbs.

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, including NJ Senator Robert Menendez, have written a letter to CNN complaining about Lou Dobbs’ coverage of illegal immigration. I guess the one and only anti-illegal immigration voice on CNN was one too many for them.

The not so subtle tactics of intimidation and threats are on full display as can be seen in the excerpt from the news story below:

“Leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, a coalition of 21 Latino congressmembers, dispatched a letter Friday to Time Warner CEO Jeffrey Bewkes complaining that the network’s news coverage is slanted against immigration and has adopted the rhetoric of outspoken CNN host Lou Dobbs… Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) expressed outrage that their appeals to meet privately with CNN have gone ignored…”

---

On March 5, Sen. Saxby Chambliss [R-GA] introduced Senate Bill #2717 — the Effective Immigration Enforcement Partnerships Act of 2008.

To provide for enhanced Federal enforcement of, and State and local assistance in the enforcement of, the immigration laws of the United States, and for other purposes.

State and local law enforcement officers are on the front lines of combating crimes committed by illegal aliens, but they are often hampered in their efforts. S. 2717 clarifies the authority of state and local law enforcement agencies to investigate, identify, and apprehend illegal immigrants to enforce federal immigration laws.

It sounds like a good idea to me! If you agree, you can send emails urging support to your Senators, and urge your friends to do the same.

Californians For Population Stabilization maintains an email/fax website with a letter already prepared in support of this bill. All you have to do is fill in your personal info. To express support of S. 2717 go here..

‘Things fall apart, the center cannot hold….’

W. B. Yeats sounded the alarm, and now, ‘As the best lack all conviction/And the worst [Obama’s Pastor Jeremiah Wright?] are full of passionate intensity’………………

• The Rodham of Clinton goes on ‘right-wing conspiracy’ Fox News with Bill O’Reilly.
• Media icon Don Imus, still sheltered in foxhole with his race-hustling tormenter Reverend Tawana Sharpton, endorses ‘Satan’ (The Rodham) over Charisma Barry (while saying he’ll still vote for John McCain in the general.)
• The increasingly deranged Democrats and progressives hope to convince someone that the unpopular Georgie Bush is running against their black proggy or their female proggy in 2008.
• Our new member of GAB (Gringo Advisory Board), gringoBro, an Obama stalwart, likes ‘egg fool young’ but does not want to open up “a Chinee fortune cookie that say, ‘USA, Game Over.’”
• Georgie Bush’s Great Black Hope, Condy Rice, has ordered a politically correct gag on the State Department: NO mention of Jihad OR Islamic terrorist OR anything else that will offend the muslims. (Entire U.S. Government must and will follow suit, exactly like the Euro pc-ers.)

John McCain still dares to use ‘Islamic’ as an adjective with ‘terror’.

As many of you know, the pc police now consider this to be an adjectival crime, or certainly a transgression. No less than Georgie Bush’s Condoleeza Rice, the SecState herself, now forbids the pairing of ‘Islamic’ with ‘terror,’ just as the very mention of ‘jihad’ is now verboten to anyone on Government payroll.

Question: In light of enormous pressure from muslims, Saudi gold dinars, Free Trade Republican wussies doing Sheikh deals, Free Trade Democratic dhimmis doing Sheikh deals, and the media’s cowardly little Christian bashers, not to mention the fact that McCain will be getting Government funds for his election campaign, how much longer will Johnny Boy stand firm on ‘Islamic terror?’

Will he continue to ‘offend’ and transgress?

Or is the more cogent question: When will he buckle?

Supporters of amnesty for people who have broken the laws of the United States by entering the country illegally rallied in cities around the country yesterday. This is the third year in a row that our annual “Law Day,” officially designated to celebrate the rule of law in our nation, has been hijacked (with the collusion of the media) by law-breakers and their apologists.

And, as usual at these marches and protests, the illegal aliens showed their true colors. While they may say that they have come here to be part of the “American dream,” in actual fact they have come here to rip off the American taxpayers. Their loyalties are with their countries of origin, not with the United States. They make this abundantly clear by the flags that they carry.

The danger from including these invaders in our body politic is that their beliefs would pollute the understanding of democracy that keeps us strong.

1. It is the rule of law and the expectation of fairness that provides the basis for our endeavors. They have unfairly forced themselves ahead of all those would-be immigrants waiting for legal documentation. And, by coming, they have broken the law. So right out of the gate, they have proven that they do not believe in fairness or the rule of law.
2. The “American dream,” as conceived by the founding fathers, was the enjoyment of equal opportunity within a framework of civil liberties. It had nothing to do with personal comforts or material possessions. For most of the illegal aliens, the attraction of this country is monetary. For them, the American dream is an improved quality of life from better earning potential.

There is nothing wrong with wanting a better quality of life and working for it. The danger comes from making this the basis of voting decisions. “Have-nots” may vote for politicians who promise redistribution of wealth to them from more productive members of society. As their numbers increase and their voting bloc becomes more powerful, the incentives for honest work decrease and the whole society degrades. The collapse of the socialistic economy of Russia is a perfect example of this process.

Those who come to this coutry illegally have cultural traditions developed in countries that have failed politically and economically. If their countries of origin had not been failures, they would not have had reason to leave. So they bring these destructive mental patterns with them like an infectious disease, with the potential to contaminate the public discourse and political process in our country. While there are enough of us left who understand the philosophical origins of our successful mode of government, we cannot allow this to happen.

We must not be intimidated by the push for so-called “political correctness.” That is just a ruse for stifling free speech. These illegal alien invaders have shown their true colors all over our country yesterday. And their colors are not the colors of the United States. So we must encourage them to return to the coutries whose colors they so obviously cherish. Through steadfast enforcement of our existing laws, we must invite their self-deportation. And we must secure our borders.

1- Earth Day Follies

The lamestream media told you:

April 22 was Earth Day, when all reasonable people praised and worshipped Mother Earth, danced gaily with renewable organic flowers in their hair, adopted the deepest principles of self-sacrifice environmentalism — which has been proven to be a scientific fact — and conserve, reuse, recycle, reduce and lower their standard of living to save the planet and achieve equality through self sacrifice. If man-and-woman-kind weren’t inherently evil consumers of Earth’s bounty, led by the U.S. and industrialized oppressor nations with a high standard of greed, this wouldn’t be needed in the first place.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

An unknown number of people worldwide, suspecting hypocrisy in stories about Earth Day, have named April 22nd as “Exploit the Earth Day,” led by a clever band of merry men and one Craig Biddle, who The Uninvited Ombudsman does not know. According to Biddle:

” ‘Exploit the Earth or die. It’s not a threat. It’s a fact.’ Either man takes the Earth’s raw materials — such as trees, petroleum, aluminum, and atoms — and transforms them into the requirements of his life, or he dies. To live, man must produce the goods on which his life depends; he must produce homes, automobiles, computers, electricity, and the like; he must seize nature and use it to his advantage. There is no escaping this fact. Even the allegedly ‘noble’ savage must pick or perish. Indeed, even if a person produces nothing, insofar as he remains alive he indirectly exploits the Earth by parasitically surviving off the exploitative efforts of others.” (Source.)

During intensive questioning, Counterintuitive Man said, “Biddle’s right,” and added, “Atoms includes but is not limited to carbon atoms, and Biddle forgot to mention food — you need to exploit earth’s resources for food.” Too many people fail to exploit earth for food and starve, he notes, leading to calls for funding from nations that do exploit earth for food.

2- Olympic Shooting Champion

The lamestream media told you:

Unruly demonstrators attacked the Olympic torch relay in this city, and in that city, and enroute to a ship, and it had to detour, and be hidden from view, and blah blah blah diplomats are upset.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Three-time Olympic athlete Lones W. Wigger, now 70, has been officially inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. Mr. Wigger competed in 1964 in Tokyo, 1968 in Mexico, and 1972 in Munich, where he took two gold medals and one silver medal in — rifle shooting. The induction ceremony is set for June 19 in Chicago. (Source.)

In a 25-year career, he won 13 gold medals and five silvers at the Pan American games, and 111 medals in total while setting 29 world records in international competition. His achievements are a great honor for America, the Olympics, the shooting sports in general, and are more newsworthy than a media circus over a torch. The lamestream media didn’t get the memo.

———

3- Media Range Day

The lamestream media told you:

Nothing.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Bass Pro Shops will be the title sponsor for “Media Day at the Range” for the next three years.

The fourth annual Media Day at the Range, scheduled for the day before the SHOT Show, will be on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2009, at the Orange County Sheriff’s Range in Orlando. This event gives outdoor journalists the opportunity to handle and shoot new products from leading manufacturers. The event benefits youth shooting organizations, including the Orange County 4-H Shooting Sports.

Although the SHOT Show is generally overrun with outdoor journalists, lamestream media are as scarce as gun-rights advocates in a Democrat’s party. In the past however, when journalists have been taken to a range, their gun-bigotry attitudes tend to soften, which is a good thing. Take a journalist to the range, if you can convince one to join you. How about that — you need to convince these people to go. Don’t that beat all.’

———-

4- College Shotgun Champions

The lamestream media told you:

Students and guns don’t mix. Schools are no place for guns, gun talk, gun history, gun training, gun safety, gun science, ballistics, marksmanship, gun drawings or pointed-finger make-believe guns. Any gun news coming from schools vill only deal viss crime und disaster.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The Intercollegiate Clay Target Championships in 2008 were the largest ever in the event’s 40-year history, reports the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a large professional organization blacked out by “news” groups for reasons that remain unclear.

Lindenwood University of St. Charles, Mo., has claimed its fifth straight national title, edging out Texas A&M, Kansas State and more than 30 other colleges. Men’s, women’s and other trophy winners are listed at the link below. The Top 20 teams overall, with targets hit (out of 1,600 thrown) were:

1. Lindenwood University, 1,528
2. Texas A&M University, 1,522
3. Kansas State University, 1,447
4. Colorado State University, 1,427
5. University of Missouri - Columbia, 1,427
6. Fort Hays State University, 1,415
7. George Mason University, 1,412
8. Virginia Tech University, 1,405
9. Trinity University, 1,404
10. Southeastern Illinois College, 1,341
11. Sam Houston State University, 1,284
12. Kansas State University, Team 2, 1,283
13. University of Wyoming, 1,261
14. Purdue University, 1,246
15. Lindenwood University, Team 2, 1,240
16. Radford University, 1,217
17. University of Louisiana - Lafayette, 1,178
18. University of Nebraska - Omaha, 1,171
19. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, 1,170
20. Eastern Kentucky University, 1,152

In other news, NICS background checks for firearms in March were 1,040,863, an increase of 6.7% over the same time last year. First quarter figures were 3,004,549. Predictions persist that sales will skyrocket on or about the next presidential election, regardless of who wins. Ammo prices are already rising.

———-

5- Levy On Tour

The lamestream media told you:

Nothing.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Bob Levy, the man who financed and enabled the D.C. v. Heller gun-ban case has been touring nationally to promote his new book (The Dirty Dozen) on the 12 worst cases decided by the Supreme Court. He appeared at an Institute for Justice seminar last week, among many stops. (Source.)

If he had advanced notice on the release of the Heller decision he would go to D.C. for the news, but he says he doesn’t expect any. The Court will announce its announcement when it’s ready, that is all. Could be any day, must be by end of June.

The Justices are not influenced by outside forces between the hearing and the decision, in Levy’s opinion. The Uninvited Ombudsman has received similar remarks from other people in a position to know. State courts are not so insulated from dinner conversations. I’m unsure.

Levy will not be pursuing more gun cases, this was enough. More than enough. He had decided to get involved at the urging of trusted peers at the Cato Institute and in his private practice.

Of two main reasons for picking newcomer Gura as lead attorney, the man was totally dedicated to the issue and the cause, and worked independently to come up to speed beyond what payments could motivate; The fact that he was willing to work for pay that violated minimum wage laws was not overlooked by Levy who had to pay the bills, for nearly five years to get the case heard.

Gura took an enormous gamble in taking the assignment. Was it a career move or folly? What does his wife think? I’ve got a wife — I know how important that element is. Four-plus years of immersion in a crucial American history issue, with inadequate compensation, you have to imagine what his spouse and peers thought.

Levy had to resist enormous pressure to bring in a known heavyweight, like former Solicitor General Ted Olson, but Levy stayed true to his promise to Gura.

Gura is generally seen as a champion, praised widely for an excellent job. He has also been the subject of harsh criticism, for his perceived easy acceptance of “reasonable” gun-control measures, assessed here.

And he, along with Levy, the NRA and everyone else, will stand as villains in the annals of history, if the decision finally comes down that in some way allows the Bradys to claim victory, because the standard of review for “acceptable laws” is sufficiently lax to legislate the right to keep and bear arms out of existence.

Everyone’s speculating on what the decision will be. Like Bob, I’m waiting to see.

The lamestream will issue a verdict almost immediately. Most of them will not read the anticipated lengthy decision — they’ll just read the one-page “syllabus” or summary that accompanies decisions (written by clerks, not the Justices).

Or they will simply quote each other, led by the nose by the Associated Press, Washington Post and New York Times, the most gun-prejudiced organizations in the country. And then they’ll wonder why their credibility is in the toilet. Hint: It’s down there because they’ve earned it.

Counterintuitive Man believes most reporters who could actually read the decision would not be able to tell what it means. This could not be confirmed.

It will probably take me a week, maybe more after the pundits pronounce what the decision means, to issue an assessment. I’ll study it, actually look up the cross references (there will be many), and talk with experts nationwide to understand what the Court has done about our rights, before writing about it. Wait for it.

6- Self Deportation Working

The lamestream media told you:

Xenophobic anti-immigration hardliners are proposing unworkable laws that target poor working people who just want to get ahead. The proposals, which won’t work, rely on racial profiling and can’t be fairly enforced.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Patriotic citizens resisting tidal waves of illegal immigration (called xenophobic anti-immigration hardliners by the “news” media) are celebrating the successes of recently enacted laws, especially in Arizona, where more people sneak into the country than anywhere else.

Top federal officials are calling the Arizona deportation policy “a model” and want other states to follow. Under this program, jailed non-violent illegal immigrants are released from prison and immediately deported. The state has sent 1,443 such prisoners to ICE, saving $18.6 million since 2005. (Source.)

In other news, five tax-funded Arizona schools are set for closing for lack of students. Officials blame a new state law that severely punishes businesses that hire illegal aliens, forcing the illegals to flee. More than 1,000 students did not re-enroll in January, when the new law took effect.

Since schools get money for every pupil attending, they claim this has “cost” them millions. Actually, this saves taxpaying citizens millions, a subtle difference missed by the “news” media for unknown reasons.

Spokesmen for the illegals say this is not entirely unexpected, as the illegals are moving to states without laws designed to block them. Arizona wishes these sanctuary locations well.

State representative Russell Pearce, a leading border-protection advocate characterized as an immigration hardliner in “news” reports, says “self deportation” works, comparing it to an amusement park. “Just stop the free rides and turn off the lights and everyone leaves.”

———-

7- Gun Control Refresher

The lamestream media told you:

The NICS Improvement Act, also known as the “Stop Nut Jobs From Buying Guns At Retail” bill, is the first federal gun-control law in many years, according to leading news outlets everywhere.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

For lists of more than 100 changes to federal gun-control laws in the past five years, visit this link.

Both the Bradys and the NRA claimed victory in this bill’s passage. Pro-rights lawyers rewrote the entire bill before enactment, changing serious infringements into legitimate bans on gun sales to certifiable mental cases. This infuriated the antis and was generally praised by pro-rights advocates. The unedited Brady version would have allowed arbitrary denial of rights to anyone, by “determination” by unnamed authorities, with no appeal process.

Many prior gun-control laws enacted to protect gun rights, which we can expect to be “re-managed” under an anti-rights administration or Congress, included:

• –Judiciary may not tax or add fees to the Brady NICS check;
• –NICS must destroy certain records related to retail gun sales;
• –Federal officers get limited funding for firearm competitions and awards;
• –Reiteration of ban on centralizing certain firearms records;
• –No changes allowed to Curios or Relics list;
• –Continuing denial of relief for people with federal firearms disability except for corporations;
• –No electronic retrieval allowed for out-of-business dealer records;
• –Safeguards on using dealer records in “fishing-expedition” police work;
• –$45 million for prosecutions to reduce gun violence;
• –A renewed ban against advocating or promoting gun control by the Centers for Disease Control
• –Expiration of arbitrary “named-weapons” ban, convincingly but inaccurately labeled “assault” weapons (assault is a type of behavior, not a type of hardware).

8- Columbine-Style Denials

The lamestream media told you:

A 16-year-old South Bend, Indiana, teen boy has planned a “Columbine-style attack” on his high school, according to police who intervened and apprehended the suspect.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

“News reports do not encourage copycat behavior,” says every news media group in the nation. Yeah, right. A “Columbine-style attack.” Columbine was a single tragic event that occurred more than a decade ago but still makes headlines in lamestream reports. More people die in any given month from medical errors in any state, a news item perpetually suppressed by the “news” media.

———-

9- Phony Gun Endorsement

The lamestream media told you:

The American Hunters and Shooters Association, a mainstream gun-owner group, has endorsed Sen. Obama for his reasonable positions on gun control. The Senator has repeatedly said he supports the second amendment.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The American Hunters and Shooters Association, a Brady-endorsed anti-gun-rights group pretending to be a pro-rights group, wants people to believe gun owners are leaning toward Barack H. Obama. This is the man who, in a 1996 candidate questionnaire declared his support for a complete ban on the manufacturing, sale and possession of handguns and undefined “assault weapons.” In Pennsylvania recently he said, “I am not in favor of concealed weapons.” AHSA believes that would be “reasonable, common-sense” gun policy, just like D.C.’s supporters of a total ban on any working firearm in your own home. Why any gun owners in their right mind would support such positions was unexplained at press time.

10- Journalists Promote Segregation

The lamestream media told you:

[Actually, they only told themselves, in the industry trade publication, The Quill] The Hispanic news excellence contest is coming, sign up now, the Black Journalists reporters meeting is coming, sign up now…

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The Uninvited Ombudsman does not participate in racially segregated events because it fosters racism, and such events are typically supported by racially oriented groups that deny their racism and are typically actively involved in accusing every one else of… racism.

Last month’s news media Ethics Week theme was, “Act Independently.” They just don’t get it.

11- Counterintuitive Man says:

This polygamist thing confuses me — why would any rational man want more than one wife? And how is that anyone else’s business as long as the adults consent — as unlikely as that may seem? Our Man Flint had four women, and was revered, do we have our sensibilities screwed on right?

When the “news” calls your home a “compound” you’re screwed blued and tattooed, even if you call it a ranch (which reporters will ignore, there’s just no sensationalism there).

Remember — a compound has barracks, the polygamists lived in dormitories. Dormitories are found on a campus, which is what the aerial views looked like (but there’s even less zip in dormitory than ranch).

Polygamy is a religious choice, or at least used to be in the land of the free. A leading panel of experts could find no powers granted to Congress in the Constitution to regulate polygamy, or marriage in any form. The correct term, long forgotten, is “holy matrimony,” clearly implying no basis for government interference.

Abuse of minor children however is a separate issue, and a legitimate criminal matter.

At least, the obsession with these people is squeezing out any mention of the billions missing from other people in the Bear Sterns scandal, and the execs who cashed out just prior to the “unexpected” collapse and subsequent bailout with taxpayer money.

Speaking of polygamy dangers, whatever happened to the killer bee threat that was going to ruin life as we know it?

12- Special guest columnist Craig J. Cantoni

What if government harming were covered as extensively as global warming?

A recent issue of Time magazine has a cover story about global warming. How original. It’s just one of hundreds of messages that drip on our heads and our children’s heads each day about global warming.

Drip-drip-drip.

Hundreds of other messages drip on us about Big Oil, evil corporations, rampant racism, rising income inequality, and the glories of diversity. The drops come from the media, K-12 schools, universities, and, amazingly, even from corporate advertising.

Drip-drip-drip.

The torrent contains some facts, but most of it is hyperbole and hysteria. I’d rather be water-boarded than endure this form of water torture.

Curiously, messages about government harming are as rare as rain in Death Valley. By “harming,” I mean the insidious and pervasive harm that government is inflicting on the economy and society.

For example, you won’t see this on the cover of Time: THE $800,000 INJUSTICE

The staggering sum of $800,000 is what the unfunded liabilities for entitlements and public pensions will come to — per child — if they are bequeathed to the 75 million children under the voting age of 18.

How many times a day do you hear about this coming travesty of justice from the establishment media, from our benevolent government, and from the presidential candidates (aka the Three Stooges)? Better yet, how many times have your children been told in government K-12 schools about the lives of servitude they face to pay off the $800,000 bill?

Oh, sorry. I showed my ignorance with the last question. Every time I’ve written that government schools are inherently statist and engage in propaganda, parents email nastygrams in response, calling me an ignoramus and other names too gross to repeat. Since I’m an ignoramus, it must be true that K-12 students are taught as often about the danger of the $800,000 as they are taught about the danger of global warming.

Right, parents?

Hello, are you there, parents? Knock-knock, anyone home? Can you hear me above the sound of the drips?

Funny thing, but when I told my kid about the $800,000, he was much more interested in that subject than he was in the subjects of global warming and diversity.

Did I break the law by telling him? Have Senators John McCain and Russ Feingold made it a crime for a father to give such facts to his son 60 days prior to an election?

For sure, you can count on President Barack “Bolshevik” Obama and First Lady Michelle “Fidel” Obama to increase the volume of drips. After all, both of them think that 13,000 hours spent with unionized teachers in government classrooms is not enough indoctrination during childhood. Drip-drip-drip.

Borrowing a page from the Third Reich and the Soviet Union, they also want young adults to join a government job corps after graduation to work for the good of society and the environment — and, of course, to learn more about the party line. Drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip.

You’d think that in 13,000 hours there would be time to teach children such apolitical facts as these:

• – that the government’s share of national income has doubled in the last 80 years;
• – that transfer payments, subsidies and handouts accounted for about five percent of federal spending 100 years ago, versus over half of spending today;
• – that the cost of government and government regulations is almost $30,000 a year per household, or about 65 percent of average household income;
• – that the government created today’s healthcare mess 66 years ago;
• – that many, if not most, socioeconomic problems are caused by out-of-wedlock births and single-parent families, both of which have been fueled by government policies and praised by media outlets and Hollywood;
• – that public education has failed miserably to achieve its goal of universal education, and that the productivity of public schools has plummeted, as measured by test scores and spending;
• – that government bookkeeping is fraudulent, and that the Social Security Trust Fund is an accounting fiction; and
• – that the government is covering its profligate spending by debasing the currency and punishing savers with inflation.

If children were to know such facts about government harming as well as they know half-truths about global warming, think of what would happen. They’d grow into adults who would turn off the dripping propaganda faucet.

Of course, that’s why the brainwashers will never teach children about government harming.
