Orly Taitz Smacked Down: Birther Lawsuit Dismissed
Obama says he supports our recently re-affirmed civil right to "keep and bear arms". But he believes that local governments can abridge that right depending on local governmental needs. I wonder how he would feel if local governments in the south felt the need to abridge minority voting rights by bringing back the poll taxes and voter literacy tests of the Jim Crow era?
The constitution as currently ammended says that my rights are my rights regardless of where I live under U. S. jurisdiction. Washington, D. C., Chicago, IL., San Francisco, CA., and New York, NY., cannot legally prohibit handgun ownership any more than the former Confederate States can bring back slavery. As a "constitutional law scholar", Obama know this to be true. But what he says can be listened to only so long as we keep a sharp eye on what he has done in the past and will do again in the future.
Obama will make it so you don't have to hunt squirrels to live, but you still can if you want to. McCain will make it so you have to use stick bows and muzzle loader flint locks because you are too broke to afford even reloads.
Here's the quote from Sen. Kennedy on his 'armor piercing ammo" ban that Obama co-sponsored:
"Another rifle caliber, the 30.30 caliber, was responsible for penetrating three officers? armor and killing them in 1993, 1996, and 2002. This ammunition is also capable of puncturing light-armored vehicles, ballistic or armored glass, armored limousines, even a 600-pound safe with 600 pounds of safe armor plating."
Yep, he included a low powered .30 cal round used in hunting.

From Senator Kennady's amendment discussion (H.R. 1784: PLEA Act)
"In a recent report, the ATF identified three, .223 and the 7.62 caliber rifles, as the ones most frequently encountered by police officers. These high-capacity rifles, the ATF wrote, pose an enhanced threat to law enforcement, in part because of their ability to expel particles at velocities that are capable of penetrating the type of soft body armor typically worn by law enforcement officers.
Another rifle caliber, the 30.30 caliber, was responsible for penetrating three officers' armor and killing them in 1993, 1996, and 2002. This ammunition is also capable of puncturing light-armored vehicles, ballistic or armored glass, armored limousines, even a 600-pound safe with 600 pounds of safe armor plating.
It is outrageous and unconscionable that such ammunition continues to be sold in the United States of America. Armor-piercing ammunition for rifles and assault weapons is virtually unregulated in the United States. A Federal license is not required to sell such ammunition unless firearms are sold as well. Anyone over the age of 18 may purchase this ammunition without a background check. There is no Federal minimum age of possession. Purchases may be made over the counter, by mail order, by fax, by Internet, and there is no Federal requirement that dealers retain sales records. "
Ted Kennedy proposed a ban on .223, 7.62, and 30-30 - all of these are popular and common hunting rounds. Obama supported and voted for this. (H.R. 1784: PLEA Act)
Obama thinks the DC gun ban is constitutional. (James Oliphant and Michael J. Higgins, "Court to hear gun case," Chicago Tribune, November 20, 2007.)
Obama supported banning concealed carry nationwide. (Obama says, "National legislation will prevent other states' flawed concealed-weapons laws from threatening the safety of Illinois residents." David Mendell, "Democratic hopefuls vary a bit on death penalty," Chicago Tribune, February 20, 2004. )
Obama doesn't support people's right to self defence in areas that ban handguns (Illinois State Senate, vote on SB 2165 (41-16), May 25, 2004)
Obama wants to ban one of the most popular rifles in the US: the AR-15. He wants to renew the "assault" weapon ban and prefer to make it permanent. (John Chase, "Keyes, Obama are far apart on guns; Views on assault weapons at odds," Chicago Tribune, September 15, 2004. )
Obama hates gun owners - he thinks they are bitter and cling to their guns (and religion) for comfort. Of course, he will only say this behind closed doors at a fund raiser in California. Go figure...
FactCheck.org is generally pretty good, but they really fell down on the job on this article. If they have any honesty, they will go back and rewrite their article significantly.
Please step away from the Koolaid, Sir. It's for your own good.
If Obama supports the second amendment, then why has he not co-singed onto a bill in the Senate that would remove the unconstitutional restrictions on lawful firearms ownership that are still being enforced in Washington D.C.?
George Santayana had a great quote about those who forget history being doomed to repeat it. Maybe you should read that line more than the latest "Hope Change Future" pablum from Obama. But that might not be as "comical" if you actually had to face reality.

You may want to note that FactCheck has changed their article twice now after having the correct "facts" presented to them.
Every person has the right protect themsleves from criminals. If you or you wife and children are attacked in you home and If you chose to not protect yourself and wait for the second responders (police) then that is your choice. I on the other hand choose to realize that in the critical 5 to 9 min it takes for the police to arrive that I am the first responder. Why is it that many Americans seem to think the only one capable to protect us need to have a uniform on?

The World Series wrapped up this week, with the Philadelphia Phillies capturing their first pennant in almost 30 years. 1980 was the last Series to feature the team, and at that time they had some all time greats, like Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, and Pete Rose, one of the only two members of the 4,000 hits club. (The two men of that distinction were both of great renown, and of greater infamy; the other being Ty Cobb.) Since the victory over Tampa Bay, the city of Philadelphia has been elated but nervous. Philadelphia’s authorities have been on high alert, watchful for the potential of mass rioting in the wake of victory, especially at Temple University. The Dean of Students, Ainsley Carry, promises both scholastic and criminal penalties for any celebration beyond normal bounds.
Is all this really necessary? Are they so bored in Philadelphia for something to do that they’re willing to repeat Tiananmen Square to make sure everything stays Leave It to Beaver swell?
Well, if you feel like rioting, take a second to breathe. Be calm, and do not rampantly destroy property and behave violently. If you feel the urge to social injustice, please do not take drastic action. If you feel like rioting because of a recent cash crunch, take a look at our website. You can get affordable, easy personal loans with almost no effort beyond a few clicks of a mouse.

The bells are ringing; the Philadelphia Phillies have won the World Series 2008. It has been 28 years since their last victory when Mike Schmidt, Pete Rose and Steve Carlton showed the American League the meaning of spirited, winning baseball. Twenty-four-year-old Cole Hamels was named the World Series MVP in only his 3rd season in the Major Leagues. Victory roared across Philadelphia as emotions ran high while the city prepared the celebration of the boys bringing home the Commissioner’s Trophy. However, supporters of the community are also preparing for something else; mass rioting. Temple University recently sent out an email to its students detailing the many ways they will be arrested while they celebrate the Phillies World Championship. In the email they stated, “Students involved in vandalism, refusal to disperse, destruction of property, etc. will face both criminal and University disciplinary action. Sanctions may range from fines up to and including immediate suspension. Surveillance – including videotaping – is heightened during the Series on campus and throughout the city.”
Is there really a need for police state crackdown? People should be more respectful; it’s the adult thing to do. However, if someone less respectful of property as you leaves you with a smashed windshield and you need help to take care of it before you’re paid again, affordable personal loans are available. Keep your spirits rolling with victory.
