Crime going down, tyranny going up. Go figure.
More law abiding people bought guns. More guns, less crime.
BEFORE YOU THINK I’VE FLIPPED MY LID, READ THE ENTIRE COLUMN!
Three Cheers for Obama!
That is right - I will say it. . .. . THANK GOD FOR OBAMA!
He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine - Driving a stake thru the Heart of Hillary’s Presidential aspirations—something no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you!
He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - No more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and freedom are safer tonight!
He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!
Dennis Moore had never lost a race - quit
Evan Bayh had never lost a race - quit
Byron Dorgan - had never lost a race - quit
Harry Reid - bid for re-election doesn’t look good
These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be!
In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats.
The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party.
In one year Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans.
He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge.
He is bringing home the lesson very well!
Liberals tax, borrow and spend - check
Liberals won’t bring themselves to protect America - check
Liberals want to take over the economy - check
Liberals think they know what is best for everyone check
Liberals aren’t happy till they are running YOUR life - check
He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan.
In one year he rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans.
Name me one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America !
In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I had ever been in my life. Not of the economy, but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends, strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the greatness and wisdom of the American people was flat out wrong.
When the American People wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them!
Obama woke up these Great Americans Again I want say Thank you Obama!
So, Lets Recap “2009”.........what a year! WOW!!!
1. The American people inaugurate a half-Arab president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state (city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office. The President’s first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorist’s civil rights are not violated. (Honest mistake?)
2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists. (An honest mistake?)
3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience.
4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. (You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still stinks!)
5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did notproperly file his own taxes for 12 years. (He misspoke!)
6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges. (Another honest mistake???)
7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges. (Hmmm... Another screw-up?) 8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct. (Ok, maybe this person was just plain stupid.)
9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes. (I’m running out of excuses for these idiots!!)
10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyistsafter an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed.
(Dear God, I am getting a headache!) All this occurred just during the first three weeks. . . But who’s counting?
America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges; Barry, Nancy and Harry and they are still trying to define stimulus...”it’s spending!!!”
The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that’s $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV!
Only with the Liberals...
Pray for our country.
Here’s the good news though - Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR.
Don’t you just love hypocrites?
Obama went to the International Olympic Committee to have them choose Chicago for a host city, he failed.
Obama went to Copenhagen to lecture them on global warming, he failed Obama went to New Jersey to promote the Democratic candidate for governor, he failed.
Obama went to Virginia to promote the Democratic candidate for governor, he failed.
Obama went to Massachusetts to promote the Democratic candidate for senator, he failed.
Speaking of praying, Obama has now been president for a full year and yet he & wife (first lady) Michelle, the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration.
Obama is the 1st president in history who did not attend any Christmas religious observance.
He must miss Reverend Wright!
And finally, he is the 1st president to remain on vacation after a terrorist attack.
In these times ‘I’ll keep my God, my freedom, my gun and my money.
Anyone that supports this insanity can keep “THE CHANGE”.
Just Facts...............................yet I’m sure those on the Left will say this is no big deal!!!!!!!
Kudos to Old Timer, Greensburg Daily News, IN
For later...
It is true. Many people got life protection insurance from the firm of Smith & Wesson.
he deserves some credit for last year’s 7.4 percent drop in murder rates.
What did he do, have Big Sis reclassify them as “man caused life terminations”?
How’s that old sayings go? (paraphrase)”a well armed Nation is a peaceful Nation”...sumpin’ like that.
Talk about unintended consequences eh.
He took criminals off the streets by giving them jobs in government.
Crime rate dropped because of increased gun ownership? Kool!
Just from the headline, and before reading the details, my guess would have been that Zero merely made a bunch of previous crime categories LEGAL now.
There is a little town in York County, PA called FRANKLINTOWN, Zip 17323. Some years ago the town council passed an ordinance REQUIRING every household to own a firearm. An elderly widow lady did not own one; so some of the locals BOUGHT one for her so she’d be legal. Haven’t heard anything for years, but understand the crime rate is very low.
The Leftist should be able to read the statistics and understand why the rates went down.
Conversely, taking guns away from the law-abiding will logically cause an increase in crime.
What does it tell you that they will want to do this, even though it will mean the deaths of innocent people?
Awesome rant. Just sent it out to everyone on my list.
Thanks!
Ditto for Kennesaw, Georgia, which was probably their model...
No, that’s not appears to be what happened. You missed the point of this article.
I don't know if Lott still lives in Swarthmore.
See my home page for what happened in Philly when the city was made to accept concealed carry.
I get the point. The sale and number of privately owned firearms as a result of Obama being elected has helped decrease the crime rate. Under Obama, much like Bush, the power of the centralized state apparatus has increased significantly into areas not granted by the Constitution thus decreasing liberty and expanding tyranny at the discretion of the state.
