For God and Country Those of you who live in Vermont have a great Representative!
Finally ..... A Sensible Gun Registration Plan That Will Work
Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack has read the Second Amendment to the U.S.Constitution, as well as Vermont 's own Constitution very carefully, and his strict interpretation of these documents is popping some eyeballs in New England and elsewhere.
Maslack recently proposed a bill to register "non-gun-owners" ; and require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would become the first state to require a permit for the luxury of going about unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun.
Maslack read the "militia" phrase of the Second Amendment as not only affirming the right of the individual citizen to bear arms, but as a clear mandate to do so. He believes that universal gun ownership was advocated by the Framers of the Constitution as an antidote to a "monopoly of force" by the government as well as criminals.
Vermont 's constitution states explicitly that "the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State" and those persons who are "conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms" shall be required to "pay such equivalent." Clearly, says Maslack, Vermonters have a constitutional obligation to arm themselves, so that they are capable of responding to "any situation that may arise."
Under the bill, adults who choose not to own a firearm would be required to register their name, address, Social Security Number, and driver's license number with the state. "There is a legitimate government interest in knowing who is not prepared to defend the state should they be asked to do so," Maslack says.
Vermont already boasts a high rate of gun ownership along with the least restrictive laws of any state .. it's currently the only state that allows a citizen to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. This combination of plenty of guns and few laws regulating them has resulted in a crime rate that is the third lowest in the nation.
" America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
This makes sense! There is no reason why gun owners should have to pay taxes to support police protection for people not wanting to own guns. Let them contribute their fair share and pay their own way.

_________________________ _________________________ _____ AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education, your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally, you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style socialist country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient. You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaugh's, Hannity's, O'Reilly's and Beck's who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
Deadlier than Cocaine, Heroin, and the Swine Flu? Dr. Mercola Addiction to prescription painkillers - which kill thousands of Americans a year - has become a largely unrecognized epidemic, experts say. In fact, prescription drugs cause most of the more than 26,000 fatal overdoses each year, says Leonard Paulozzi of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The number of overdose deaths from opioid painkillers - opium-like drugs that include morphine and codeine - more than tripled from 1999 to 2006, to 13,800 deaths that year, according to recently released CDC statistics.
In the past, most overdoses were due to illegal narcotics, such as heroin, with most deaths in big cities. Prescription painkillers have now surpassed heroin and cocaine however, as the leading cause of fatal overdoses, Paulozzi says.
Experts say it's easy to see why so many Americans are abusing painkillers. As Americans age and carry extra pounds, more are asking for pain relief to cope with joint problems, back pain and other ailments.
Commercial from the 50's...You won't believe this!
Killer diabetes drug Byetta has once again been linked to severe organ damage and death... and the FDA has once again made them (can you guess?) change the warning label.
Last year, it was increased risk of hemorrhagic pancreatitis (which caused several deaths) that got added to the label. This year, it's kidney problems - including 62 cases of acute kidney failure - which can be fatal.
What will it take for the FDA to stop messing around with the label and pull this dangerous drug from the market? I hope the answer isn't thousands of deaths.
The liberals are asking us to give Obama time. We agree and think 25 to life would be appropriate. **********************
America needs Obamacare like Nancy Pelosi needs a Halloween mask. **********************
Q: Have you heard about McDonalds new Obama Value Meal? A: Order anything you like and the guy behind you has to pay for it. **********************
Q: What does Barack Obama call lunch with a convicted felon? A: A fund raiser. **********************
Q: What do Vanilla Ice, Eminem and Barack Obama have in common? A: They all made careers pretending to be black men. **********************
Q: What's the difference between Obama's cabinet and a penitentiary? A: One is filled with tax evaders, blackmailers and threats to society. The other is for housing prisoners. ********************** Q: What's the difference between Simba and Obama? A: Simba is an African lion while Obama is a lyin African. **********************
On Halloween you put on a false face and trick people. This year Barack Obama is going as - Barack Obama. **********************
If Nancy Pelosi and Obama were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and It started to sink, who would be saved? .... America ! **********************
Q: What's the difference between Obama and his dog, Bo? A: Bo has papers.
The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates, by St. Peter himself. However the gates are closed. St. Peter said, "Well it's certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you though, this place is filling up fast, and we have ben adminsitering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven." Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, Sir. But nobody ever told me about an entrance exam. I sure hope the test ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test to pass as it was." St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know Forrest, but the test is only three questions. First, what two days of the week begin with T? Second, How many seconds are there in a year? Third, What is God's name?" Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day snd sees St. Peter, who waves him up to hear the answers. Forrest says,"Well the first one, which two days begins with the letter T? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be today and tomorrow." The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?" "How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder," replied Forrest,, "but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve." Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Forrest, how in Heavens name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?" Forrest replied , "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, Feburary 2nd, March 2nd..." "Hold it, interrupts St. Peter, "I can see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that wasn't quite what I had in mind ...But Iwill have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on to the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name?" "Sure" Forrest replied, "it's Andy." "Andy? exclaimed an exasperated and frutrated St. Peter. "Shucks, said Forrest, That was the easiest one of all, I learnt it from the song, ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALK WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN." St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates and said, "Run Forrest Run!"

US President AGAIN Bowing before foreigners!!! Embarrassing his host!!!!! The Significance Of The Bow: Obama Is A House Servant For The Global Elite President's body language proves his fealty to generationally inbred and racist royalty of the world The predictable response to criticism surrounding Obama’s botched bow to Emperor Akihito this weekend has been to claim that the outrage is a contrived creation of the political right-wing. However, the Japanese themselves are obviously just as embarrassed about the whole spectacle. Paul Joseph Watson Monday, November 16, 2009 The predictable response to criticism surrounding Obama’s botched bow to Emperor Akihito this weekend has been to claim that the outrage is a contrived creation of the political right-wing. However, the Japanese themselves are obviously just as embarrassed about the whole spectacle. Despite the fact that Obama was widely criticized for bowing to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, an incident the White House ludicrously tried to deny even though it was plain as day on video, he again prostrated himself before royalty by awkwardly lurching forward at a near 90 degree angle to show his fealty to the Japanese Emperor and his wife at the Imperial Palace on Saturday. Top Japanese newspapers like Kyodo have refused to print the image out of embarrassment. Video footage of the entire exchange shows Obama profusely bowing like a house servant no less than seven times in the space of under 30 seconds. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++ And this is the Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces......... OUTRAGE!!!! The POTUS at Ft. Hood, Nov. 11, 2009..."honoring" the 14 dead (an unborn child...was the 14th!) at the hands of a Muslim home grown terrorist!!!

Weekly...or weakly Funny's How do you decide who to marry? a 10 year old lad was asked "You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips aNd dip coming."
The business man dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped exhausted. His sympathetic wife was right there wilt a tall cool drink and a comforting word. "MY, you look tired," she said. "You must have had a hard day today. What happened to make you so exhausted?" "It was terrible," her husband said. "The computer broke down and we all had to do our own thinking!"
Arthur is 90 years old. He's played golf every day since his retirement 25 years ago. One day he arrives home looking downcast. "That's it," he tells his wife. I'm giving up golf. My eyesight has got so bad...Once I hit the ball, I can't see where it went." His wife sympathizes. As they sit down she says, "why don't you take my brother with you, and give it one more try?" "That's no good" sighs Arthur. "your brother is a hundred and three. He can't help." "He may be a hundred and three." says the wife, "but his eyesight is perfect!" So the next day Arthur heads off to the golf course with the brother in law. He tees up, takes a almighty swing and squints down the fairway. He turns to the brother in law. "Did you see the ball?" "Of course I did," says the brother in law. "I have perfect eyesight" "Where did it go? asks Arthur. "I can't remember."

1. Tell President Obama to Rescind Dangerous, Unnecessary Health Emergency giving unprecedented powers to Secretary Sebelius to set us a medical internment system without appeal or protections. Take this item once for every member of your household:
This woman has totally sold out the American People, When she signed the document that says Big Pharma cannot be sued for any damages their "swinee flu" shot does...So they have no incentive to make it safe at all!! She sold us down the river, to guarantee their big profits...at our expense!!!!
"Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain."
An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town to clear his parched throat.
He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, 'Hey old man, have you ever danced?'
The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, 'No, I never did dance,just never wanted to.'
A crowd had gathered quickly and the gunslinger grinned and said, 'Well, you old fool, you're gonna' dance now,' and started shooting at the old man's feet. The old prospector in order to not get a toe blow off or his boots perforated was soon hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet and everybody was laughing fit to be tied.
When the last bullet had been fired the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers back. The loud, audible double clicks carried clearly through the desert air.
The crowd stopped laughing immediately. The young gunslinger heard the sounds, too, and he turned around very slowly. The quiet was almost deafening.
The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels. He found it hard to swallow. The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands.
The old man said, 'Son, did you ever kiss a mule's ass?'
The boy bully swallowed hard and said, 'No. But I've always wanted to.'
There are two lessons for us all: 1. Don't waste ammunition. 2. Don't mess with old people.
CDC admits on their web site, they quit tracking or confirming the swine flu designations last August!!! Therefore ANY flu like symptoms or pneumonia are being simply called swine flu, though NO testing is being done to confirm it as swine flu!!! If it's pneumonia, it's called swine flu!! if it's the regular flu...it's called swine flu without any testing!!!! CDC quit confirming because 98% of the cases were not swine flu...so only 2% were!!! The "pandemic" declaration has to be renewed, they renewed it in July, and it has run out now....yet Obama took it upon himself to declare national emergency, not CDC or WHO!!!! Why??? To keep people in fear!!!!! There may be other motives too, that will not be for the good of our people!! Please, pass this word on to all you know, the swine flu is a tiny portion of the flu going around, and is not in itself worthy of emergency declaration!!! Throw your fears out the window...the government is using them for it's own motives!!!! The swine flu itself is a very mild flu!! unless you have serious health or lung problems, and are able to actually able to catch it!!! Even our newspsper today admitted ANY type A Flu is labelled Swine Flu!!!!!
Obama going to trial...This sounds very factual, but...
Unless he gave up his citizenship to become Indonesian,
which is a possibility, IRREGARDLESS of where he was born,
He is a Citizen because his Mother was a Citizen!!! John McCain
is exactly the same, he was born in Panama, but his mother
was a citizen, therefore his is also!! So unless he
relinquished it somewhere...don't think this will hold water!!
Yet because it is going to trial...there might be a great chance that he did!!
As I understand the guy he says, the debate on that is over!!
Don't let your credit card company get away with it!!!!
A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, then the still shaking driver said, "I'm sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me." The frightened passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn't realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much. The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry , it's entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab...... I've been driving a hearse for the last 25 years.
Lena passed away and Ole called 911. The 911 operator told Ole that she would send someone out right away. "Where do you live?" asked the operator. Ole replied, "at the end of Eucalyptus Drive." The operator asked, "could you spell that for me?" There was a long pause and finally Ole said, "How about if I drag her over to Oak Street and you pick her up dere?"
Ole and Lena were sitting down to their usual cup of coffee listening to the weather report coming over the radio. "There will be 3 to 5 inches of snow today and snow emergency has been declared. You must park your cars on the odd numbered side of the streets." Ole got up from his coffee and replies, "Well, okay." Two days later, again they are both sitting down enjoying their coffee and the weather forecast is, "There will be 2 to 4 inches of snow today and a snow emergency has been declared. You must park your cars on the even numbered side of the streets." Ole got up from his coffee and replies, "well okay" Three days later they are both sitting down with their cup of coffee and the weather forecast is," "There will be 6 to 8 inches of snow today and a snow emergency has been declared. You must park your car on the...." and then the power went off and Ole didn't get the rest of the message. He says to Lena, What am I going to do now Lena?" Lena replies, "Aw, Ole, just leave the car in the garage today."

ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION
From a teacher in the Nashville area:
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year. The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president.
We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. Candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations, and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.
I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down.
Now is was Olivia's turn to speak. Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely would say more. She did not have to.
A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it. She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide. (I wish there had been a finish like...she never did give them ice cream...just promises only!!!)
Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other 48 percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."
Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone --- they have not first taken away from someone else.
Don't mind if this is somewhat incomplete...was sending it to a gal who was using Baking soda to cure an infection!! There are baking soda pills, and they really help the kidneys, even those on dialysis can cut way back, and some can even quit dialysis using the baking soda, and it usually prevents or really prolongs the possibility renal or kidney failure!!! Throw out the antacids!!! I took Prazoles for about 5 years because of too much acid, and of course, supposed to take for life!! I found that enzymes would cure the problem, and published it widely, only to be told, AMA published a study about 7 years ago on enzymes curing the problem...Why didn't my Dr. know? Why is this info so hidden? No profit in it for big pharma!!! For those with thyroid problems who are put on hormones, There was...a natural product, that had T-1, T-2, T-3 and T-4 in a natural balance, that totally took care of it, and no side effects, in use for over 100 years......FDA (Federal DEATH Administration) has just destroyed that company!!! Now you have to buy synthetic T-4 only, with side effects from Big Pharma, who the FDA is helping to make even more money...called GREED!!!! To hell with the human being!!!!
Status: True. The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor Named Indrek Wichman.
Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association. The e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish cartoons That portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. The group had complained the cartoons were 'hate speech' ============ Enter Professor Wichman. ========================= ================= In his e-mail, he said the following: ========================= ====== Dear Moslem Association, As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest. I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, Cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests(the latest in Turkey), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women(called 'whores' in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland ,and the rioting and looting in Paris France . This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile 'protests.' If you do not like the values of the West - see the 1st Amendment -you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose that option . Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans. Cordially, I. S.. Wichman Professor of Mechanical Engineering ========================= ==== As you can imagine, The Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well. They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded and the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty And mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen. Now the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray . CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good professor Had the right to express his opinion. ========== For its part, the university is standing its ground in support of Professor Wichman, Saying the e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks. ========================= ========================= ========== Send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same. Tell them to keep passing it around until the whole country gets it. We are in a war. This political correctness crap is getting old and killing us..
