God and guns are what our country was founded upon. Any new student of the Revolutionary period quickly learns that. They are what keep us strong, or what should keep us strong. They are there for our defense.
God and guns were so important to our founders that they established our protection to exercise them in the first two amendments to our Constitution the uninhibited and unrestricted freedom to choose our own religion and bear our own firearms.
But, more and more, these pillars of American life and liberty are being attacked and abandoned, not only out of sheer bias but ignorance of our founders, the Revolutionary period and our Constitution. Instead, these pivotal American rights have become the brunt end of cultural jokes and are often regarded as biased lifestyle components of "rednecks" and rural citizens.
For example, gone but not forgotten is even President Obama's partiality on the campaign trail in April 2008. You might recall, at a private California fundraiser, when he addressed the economic hardships of those in Pennsylvania, he quipped: "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them.
And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion
as a way to explain their frustrations."

The indifference, lack of education about and passion for all of our Bill of Rights gravely concerns me. And while there is nothing funny about it, it is one of many reasons why roughly one-fifth of the 101 short stories are "freedom" entries in my new book, "The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book," a fun yet inspirational and educational book in which I share my 101 favorite Chuck Norris facts embedded within five core values: freedom, family, faith, fitness and fight. (Released on Nov. 1, it is now available for pre-order via Amazon for less than $8, and proceeds from which go to help KickStartKids).

BTW, Chuck Norris' hand is the only one that can beat a Royal Flush.

When Chuck Norris goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket.
Bookmark.
Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that’s why there are no signs of life there.
Nonsense. Chuck Norris doesn't donate blood. He donates other people's blood.
Forrest Gump sure had America & Americans right...”Stupid is as stupid does!”
