Is it that difficult to tell the truth in Washington DC? The Senate took up the Thune /Vitter bill today which would give national reciprocity to conceal carry holders. Basically if you have a conceal carry permit in Minnesota you can travel through or go to any other state that has conceal carry laws on the books. You still have to follow that states conceal carry laws, but at least you would be able to protect yourself. If you go to a state that does not have any carry laws on the books, let’s see, oh Wisconsin and Illinois are the only ones that don’t, then you cannot carry a firearm. Sound simple; well it was only two votes short of passing.

Now the honesty part. I heard today on various talk shows recordings of Mayor Bloomberg and Chuck Schumer. Bloomberg says that with this law a criminal in one state would be able to carry into another state and the police could not do anything about it. For some reason I thought criminals could not have guns or get conceal carry permits! I think they have to have background checks before they get guns or a permit. Shumer said basically the same thing. The point is if these politicians have a HONEST reason to not pass a pro gun bill bring it up and debate it. Don’t sit there and make up lies.

There is just very little honesty left in this countries capitol anymore. The president can’t even tell the people the truth about any of the bills he is trying to “Ram” through congress. It is very sad that a country that is as great as this one has a hard time finding honest leaders.

This Thune/Vitter amendment should have passed in my opinion maybe next year it will. Does Al or anybody want to have an honest debate on global warming? That’s another story.

With all that is going on in Iran I wonnder if Acorn was working over there. It seem that the same kind of tactics were used here though nowhere near th violence it still looks the same. When I say that I mean that there were more votes counted than people in certain areas. Minnesota has the same problem with Franken. It just seems that on both sides of the isle the honsty has all but disappeared.

The U.S. government has left the country. They are all arrogant and elitist. They have no clue to what is going on in this country. Out in California they are more interested in saving fish than giving the farmers in central CA. water to water their crops. The west coast has one of the largest oil and natural gas supplies yet they won’t go get it so their state won’t have to go bankrupt. Now let’s go to the east coast well mainly Washington DC. They are as bad as the west end of the country. Instead of letting companies go bankrupt and re-structure their contracts they keep feeding them money, then after so many billions are on the table they then let them go bankrupt. Now they keep using the term “Global Warming” or “Go Green “so these companies now have to bow to the government and build so called green cars to save the planet. I know I do not want to buy one I like my van and SUV. My vehicles are safer than the hybrids and the get just about the same mileage. I don’t believe people will buy the hybrids, that is unless the government  keeps raising oil prices which intern will raise gas prices and some people will start buying these unsafe not fuel efficient vehicles. I drive a semi for a living, and they want to put emission systems on them, then the fuel mileage goes down so where is the savings. It is insane.

Then this week you have the elitist like Madam Boxer in California when she talks down to a General. A few weeks ago there was a meeting that was discussing guns going across the border to Mexico. Senator Schumer was talking to a border patrol agent and asking him if there were really 2000 guns a day going across the border. The agent answered no maybe 100 or 200. Schumer argued with him and stated that the Brookings Institute, a Washington think tank, said that there were 2000. The arrogant Senators won’t take the word of someone that is working on the border. They would rather believe some anti gunner in Washington that probably does not even know the difference between semi automatic and full automatic.

I don’t know maybe I shouldn’t say anything bad about the politicians. The biggest problem I have is they don’t listen to the people. Liberals especially, like in California about prop 8. They didn’t get there way and they are yelling and screaming like a bunch of school kids (elementary school). If the people that represent us keep pushing this country towards fascism we better vote them out as soon as possible or we may never get the United States of America back to the way the founding fathers wrote in the constitution and bill of rights.

Well with all that’s been going on in the financial arena we should just look at California for inspiration. Just look at the entitlements, retirement plans for government workers, the go green environmentalists that save the smelt, the transit system, there is just so much to list.

With the reality of California on the edge of bankruptcy we should look at them. Then run in the opposite direction. I grew up in CA. and it was once prosperous but then in my opinion, the environmentalists started to take hold. Now they are not the whole problem, there is overspending, illegal immigration ECT. I believe that a state that keeps claiming drought but uses fresh water out of reservoirs to save a small fish (smelt) has got a few screws loose. Then you have a state that has some of the biggest oil and natural gas deposits of the coast, way off the coast, but won’t drill have got another screw loose. The drilling would almost instantly, from the economists that I listen to, would balance their budget. Then take care of the illegal immigration problem and the state could be back on track. These solutions except the illegal immigration is blocked or caused by the environmentalist.

In my humble opinion look at what California is doing, and then do the complete opposite.

Well all the Obama supporters should take note that their messiah I believe does not believe not only in the Second Amendment but also the First Amendment. If you look at the voting record of Obama what you can find, it he has always voted against the Second Amendment. He has never stood up for gun owners rights. Now for the Obama side he may have not been elected in the Illinois state senate if he were not anti gun.

Now what I am talking about can all be found on the NRA web site including the letters from the Obama general council. http://www.nraila.org/media/PDFs/ObamaLetterNRAAd.pdf Now I believe in the First Amendment as much as I believe in the Second Amendment. The Obama camp has sent these cease –desist letter to local news stations in Ohio and Pennsylvania. They use Fact check to verify the truth but Fact Check just did not investigate his record properly the NRA did. I believe that Senator Obama just does not want his Second Amendment voting record exposed. He is trying to stop the freedom of speech in these states with scare tactics. Which state is next? Which Amendment is next? Voters beware if Obama is elected President he will try to “Change” the United States of America.
