Obama Chavez OR The Illusions From Obama’s Flickering Lips…
Nobody Remembers
Obama is out on the campaign trial talking about how Mitt Romney is going to send all the jobs overseas. He is trying to convince us, that he will NOW…get to work and create American jobs.
“I said, I believe in American workers, I believe in this American industry, and now the American auto industry has come roaring back,” he said. “Now I want to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs, not just in the auto industry, but in every industry.” (Translation: Obama still wants to get his buddies more solar and wind energy free money.)
“I don’t want those jobs taking root in places like China, I want those jobs taking root in places like Pueblo,” Obama told a crowd gathered for a campaign rally at the Palace of Agriculture at the Colorado State Fairgrounds here.”
Spoken like Hugo’s Chavez’s ugly brother. Right…The car industry has come roaring back alright…in CHINA!
That “pueblo” Obama is talking about is in Mexico…where Juan’s wife and his eight children are collecting Social Security.
Pay close attention to the doublespeak.
Let’s see just WHY the auto industry has come roaring back on your tax dollars. 
Obama gave more than $80 billion to prop up General Motors and Chrysler….and they took that money and put most of that money to create jobs in …Alabama? NO..in Mexico.
Chrysler has spent $550 million to retool it’s factory in Toluca to assemble the subcompact Fiat 500 model. GM has spent $3.67 billion in Mexico since November 2007. GM has closed five U.S. based assembly plants and there are more coming. And GM is now a company of China. It is working for the Communists and 70% of its manufacturing and research is now…in China.
That is NOT coming back…I don’t care what the Great and Wonderful ObamaOz says. Pull the curtain open.
Ford reopened an assembly plant in Cuautitlan to build Fiesta compacts. That factory will generate 2,000 jobs and it’s part of the $3 billion they are investing in Mexico. In the meantime Ford has closed four assembly plants since 2006 and have closed four more since then.
The US is losing 75 percent of the market. 
Stock dividends are not a good as a good old fashioned American paycheck. Without a paycheck you can’t BUY stocks now can you?
So what other “jobs” will Obama send to Mexico or China? He’s right when he says he has only just begun to create jobs. Now, any other industries that are left, will be moving to China.
I don’t know about you, but there aren’t many left….I can’t think of any….uh..
If you think that Obama can make ANY American manufacturing company build new companies here in America, when they can go to Mexico, China or India where the labor is cheap, …then I’ve got a luxury hotel in Cancun that I’ll sell you for a dollar.
But like he told the Russians:
“Just wait…I just have ONE MORE ELECTION…”
And then America will be fundamentally changed. 
Comrades….Remember, when you are Obama’s Cave, the shadows flickering on the wall from the fire of his lips…are not real.
Nobody’s Fool: John Lennon
Nobody’s Fool
Sitting with my friends at the pool today, the subject was who was better…Elvis or the Beatles. One lady, who was older than I, thought the Beatles were too sisified. Elvis was more masculine. Well…being raised with the Beatles, I loved the music, so I just smiled and agreed. It’s just her opinion…mine would be different. My brother has a theory that everyone loves the music they loved in high school, and I think he is right. He should know, he’s got his own D.J. company…but sorry…off the subject here. What I wanted to talk about is this: John Lennon was no fool. Sure, at the end, he was on Nixon’s list of dangerous people, and no doubt did too many drugs for one lifetime, but let’s face it…he fell head over heels madly in love with Yoko Ono, and she was the love of his life. So, whether we liked it or not, we had to listen to Yoko scream, and she did affect the way he approached the public after the Beatles. He made Yoko a star.
But he would have never even admitted that. (If you can’t see the video…go HERE.)
Yoko didn’t break up the Beatles. I think Paul got such a big head in the end, and was trying to make the Beatles “Paul’s” band, that the rest of them just got sick of it. You can see it all being played out in the film “Let It Be.” Yoko just became the scapegoat. If you have read many books, it was actually John’s genius who got the band up and running, and he was the leader for the ten years they worked in just clubs…and also was the main voice on all the beginning albums. Paul’s words at the induction of John Lennon to the Rock and Road Hall of Fame, were nothing short of..silly. He did not say ONE good thing about John’s talent…just how John had been there when they got to meet Elvis and the Supremes. I’m glad John didn’t hear it.
John was the heavier thinker of the group, and in the sixties, he was trying very hard to “give peace a chance.” Most conservatives think John was a big “lefty” but listen to the first five minutes of this. His thinking was much like our founding fathers…and I believe by the time he died, one of his friends said he did like Ronald Reagan, and was very much a conservative, and I believe him.
Sure…lying naked in bed was not exactly a great way to get people to think “Peace” but then again…John was just trying his best to bring, in his own way…sometthing good to the world. What else could he do? He was really, one of the most famous people in the world. At one time the Beatles actually WERE more popular than Jesus. John was right.
It was just a fact, and how they crucified him for it.
In my younger years I liked Paul, the “cute” Beatles, but now, I’m older and wiser. If I had a chance to talk to any of them…I would have ask to talk to John.
He really was…a genuis. (Okay, I’m a bit bias…but that’s just my Nobody Opinion. 🙂
Nobody’s Beef
Nobody Wins
I have a beef. A big beef…about “voting.” Okay–so I didn’t start voting until after I watched the first Iraq War. The great Daddy Bush’s victory protecting Kuwait from the diabolical Saddam Hussein. Being that I remember Vietnam, it was nice that we “won” a war, but really. Iraq? And if this Saddam Hussein was such a bad guy (which he was), why didn’t we just go in and get him?
I grew up in the sixties with Nixon, and Vietnam. I was …suspicious. Reagan took down the Soviet Union without a shot. Why did Bush have to “protect” some little country?
They didn’t really tell us why. We now were the world’s police….again. My attitude back then was that politicians were so crooked that everything was rigged, and you really had no say.
And then, I voted…for the first time for Ross Perot. Here was a guy who was a businessman, who was telling us we were in for a very rough ride. NAFTA would doom us he said. Bill Clinton, and the Bushes were on this global ride and Mr. Perot was right…it got even worse than he predicted. With the help of the “globalists” America fell apart.
Just this morning I found out that my local police, are one of just 24 U.S. law enforcement agencies that are going to be training the Iraq police. My local police are getting funding for this and they are bringing the Iraq’s HERE to train. This is being done by the IACP the world’s oldest and largest association of law enforcement executives. The IACP has more than 20,000 members. My neighborhood will be filled with Muslims. I doubt very seriously if these “trainees” go back to Iraq.
They say they are training the Iraq’s in the RULE OF LAW. Who’s ‘rules of law’ are they following?
This really makes me angry. I know that’s not exactly a polite or journalistic way to put it, but for OUR money, to go to training Iraq police…HERE IN THE UNITED STATES…it’s just appalling to me. It’s more than that, it’s not safe. With all that we have sacrificed for Iraq— let them train their own people. But I fear it’s just a legal way for Obama to bring more Muslims into our country…through the back door so to speak. 
Do you know why we should train other country’s police forces here with taxpayer’s dollars when hundreds of our own police men are being laid off?
Neither do I.
The local police chief is all for it. He has been involved in this organization for a long time. Who knew? It wasn’t exactly on his resume when he got elected.
— Which brings me to the problem: I wonder how many people, when they go to vote in their local elections, know ANYTHING at all about the local politicians?
I’m betting you are just like me. You search the libraries, the internet for any information you can find, and you can’t. All you really have to go on are the is really nasty campaign ads telling you how this one is crooked or that one hangs out with prostitutes, or whatever they can think of.
Here in Missouri, Sarah Palin had a nice ad out about Sarah Steelman for Missouri Senator, but the ad that stuck in your mind was a very ugly picture of Sarah Steelman (a republican) next to a picture of Claire McCaskill (Obama loving democrat) and a message to not send either one of them toWashington, they were both corrupt, and you had no idea who put up that ad. 
But it worked. Steelman lost.
EVERY time I go to vote in the local elections, I have no clue what or who is going to be on the ballot. I blame myself, and everyone else blames you for not caring. BUT…the sad fact is, they don’t WANT you to know about any of these people are. Hell, we are just now finding out who Obama really is.
Nobody Thinks, no…Nobody Knows this is on purpose. It would be so easy to send out information about the people running for office, a simple folder sent out to the voters would suffice. But no.
And that’s why the people at the TOP, can make sure the people of the local districts are people they want at the local level. That’s why America has become dictatorial in so many ways. That’ why a Mayor of New York can outlaw salt, baby formula, and obesity…because all the local districts are men and woman who would never dare challenge him.
You can’t tell me all the people in New York want to be controlled like that.
Another little trick they use (both parties) to get who they want elected is called the “primaries.” In the primaries, (in many states) a DEMOCRAT can ask for a Republican ballot and vote for the person, especially the one they think would lose against their democratic favorite. So…hundreds of democrats, who by the way, are mostly government workers, teachers and unions members, are told to ask for a Republican ticket and vote for the man they think is most likely to lose to their candidate. 
So, I find myself back to the beginning. Does my vote even count?
If the local elections are rigged that a Democrat can vote on the Republican ticket, what chance do we really have? It’s a dirty play, and most conservatives would never think of doing that. But liberals do.
Oh…and this Tuesday elections stuff…it’s the worst day of the week to vote. The really hard workers, who are the ones supporting this overgrown elephant called our government, sometimes can’t even make it to the polls.
The top politicians stack the decks. It’s called trickle down power….top to bottom. Some states are actually fighting back…so there’s hope.
But in too many states…Nobody Wins….and Nobody Thinks it’s ever going to change.
Dirty Dancing: Hillary’s Next Move
Nobody Wonders
How come, Nobody has mentioned the fact that, the black woman was doing the down and dirty dog dancing there with Hillary? I mean…I USED to teach dancing, and in my world of “moves” that little hip jiggling, rubbing up against someone’s crouch was a very “sexual’ move….and it’s usually done to a man.
And Hillary, did NOT back away. What does THAT mean?
LOL! Nobody Wonders….if that is the common way they greet all state officials in Africa?
And if the black Lady goosing Hillary didn’t make you laugh, the other people trying to “dance” will.
Nobody Now Knows About The Wilhelm Gustloff
Nobody Knows
Americans are not taught much history anymore. …and it’s been that way for as long as I remember. When we think of the greatest disaster on the sea, we think of the Titanic…and then we have visions of the end of the movie when everyone in the audience watched”Rose” as an old lady, throw that massive diamond back into the ocean and all of us started shouting, “For God’s sake! Don’t do it! “
But the Titanic was nothing compared to the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff.
To make a long story short: During WWII…at the end when Hitler was hiding in his bunker, thousands of Germans were trying to get out of the country because the Russians were not exactly kind to the German women. The Germans had killed enough Russians and they were coming for revenge.
So, in a very cold, minus 15 degree ice and snow weather, thousands poured to the Baltic sea to try to get boats out to the East…and on January 30, 1945, the Wilhelm Gustloff was stuffed with over 9,393 people.
The Titanic, you remember, only had 2,224.
By the time the people got to this boat, many of their homes had been destroyed, and they were starving. If they had children, they were let on first, so many children loss their lives due to the fact that people were throwing “kids” to other relatives onshore to get them on the boat…FROM the boat, and sometimes the kid ended up dropping into the sea from a bad throw.
Once they could fit no more on the boat…they set sail.
Here’s a short description from Wikipedia:
The Wilhelm Gustloff′s final voyage was during Operation Hannibal in January 1945, when it was sunk while participating in the evacuation of civilians, military personnel, and Nazi officials who were surrounded by the Red Army in East Prussia. The Gustloff was hit by three torpedoes from the S-13 in the Baltic Sea under the command of Alexander Marinesko on the night of 30 January 1945 and sank in less than 45 minutes. An estimated 9,400 people were killed in the sinking, possibly the largest known loss of life occurring during a single ship sinking in recorded maritime history.
I just got finished reading about this in a book called “The Cruelest Night.” and one small story sticks out in my mind.
One woman…in one of the lifeboats, kept trying to jump into the water and kill herself. The other people in the boat (not many escaped…maybe 900 at best..and all four captains) were trying desperately to keep her from killing herself…and then they found out her reason.
Her oldest son’s head had been smashed by a suitcase and killed instantly when the first torpedo hit. He was eight. As she took her two other children with her to try to get to the top of the boat, her NEXT youngest boy, who was four, was stampeded to death by the crowd. When she fell overboard she lost her last child, her young baby girl who was less than a year, and it drowned in the water.
And here I sit, comfy in my computer room, with all my books, my computer, my radio and television…having just had a glass of milk…watching the Olympics, and looking at an old Beatles Album cover.
It’s almost surreal…who can even imagine so much horror?
Captain Alexander Marinesko, the U-boat Russian Captain who sank the boat…was sent away to prison in Russia. It wasn’t until years later that he was even rewarded for sinking the Gustloff and many other ships that year.
But, in all this sad story there was a hero. German Admiral Doenitz, was responsible for the evacuation of over 2 million Germans by boats to the East, he got them out, and their descendants make up the Germany of today. He did this behind Hitler’s back….in other words, he LIED about what he was doing with all those boats.
So the next time you hear of the Titanic, remember, there was an even more horrible disaster at sea…you just didn’t hear about it.
But now, you know.
All We Need Is the Audacity to Vote Him Out
Nobody Reports
HO HO HO!
Who knew? Our first “Black President” who RAN as the first “BLACK PRESIDENT” now says he Is “not the president of black America.” responding to the criticism that he has not done enough for African Americans.
Nobody Says…I beg to differ. He’s never been anything BUT that.
If you are black in Obama’s black America, you can call up all your black friends and go out hunting for white people to rob, in mobs, on any given Friday night…take what you want from any store, even beat up white people for a lark…post it on YouTube, and not go to jail.
Obama’s got your back.
If you are a black Panther, you can put death bounties on people’s lives, and not be prosecuted. You can also stand at voting places with big bats and threaten to hurt voters, and Eric Holder, our Attorney General, will just ignore you. Thank your black “President’ for that, who ignores all black hatred.
Obama’s got your back.
AND…he just signed into law a rule that brings affirmative action to punishing any blacks in school. Now, they have to fill the suspension quotas with whites and Chinese students. In other words, if you are white, you could be expelled for chewing gun. If you are black and want to sell heroin in the hall..go right ahead. Obama’s got your back! It’s just so unfair that more blacks get expelled than whites.
Really…to Obama, it’s unfair.
In Obama’s book, Dreams of my Father, you might want to hear a few quotes that he had this to say about being black.
Towards whites, he harbors a “coil of rage.” (His words)
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.” B.O. Dreams of My Father
Nobody Says: Oh you NEVER ingratiated yourself to whites? How about George Clooney?
How times have changed. What’s the matter Mr. “President”? The blacks are wondering where all the free stuff is, and since you came out for gay marriage, some of them are leaving you? You need the whites votes so now you are starting to grovel to those whites you need…
“My general view has been consistent throughout, which is that I want all businesses to succeed,” Obama told Black Enterprise magazine in an interview in the Oval Office. “I want all Americans to have opportunity. I’m not the president of black America.”
What? You’re not? How about Chinese America?
From Dreams of my Father:
“I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.” B.O, Dreams of My Father.
Nobody Says.” So, let me get this straight. It gives you COMFORT to hate white people?
“There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white.” B.O. Dreams of My Father
Nobody Says: Uh…sounds like you might want to accept the fact that you ARE your white mother’s son. It sounds like that “too sure of yourself” comes right from that awful white mother’s genes, but don’t worry..Joe Biden has the same problem.
Come on…who says this stuff about their own mother?
“It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.” B.O. Dreams of My Father
“I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d pack all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela “
Nobody Says: Love those checks to Kenya!
And finally from the Audacity of Hope…by Barack Obama:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Nobody Says: And there’s the reason he has to go.
And that’s why Romney was smart to stand at the Wall.
The Americans don’t need audacity to hope, all we need is one honest election.
Nobody’s Perfect: Obama VS NASA’s Curiosity
Nobody’s Perfect
They had no road to drive on, and a President who all but shut them down–but that didn’t stop this roomful of brilliant NASA scientists from dropping a nice sized car on the surface of Mars. They got there WITHOUT Obama’s help….and in spite of all the unpatriotic roadblocks.
They did it.
Last year, NASA was all but completely destroyed. There was a cut of 1.64 billion dollars. The Shuttles were retired as fast as they could truck them out. Frankly, because they didn’t replace the Shuttles, it was a day of devastating mourning for space lovers. It was getting painful for me to watch John Glenn begging Obama to not close NASA down on National TV.
John Glenn. An American hero…begging.
Not only did they close down the space program, but they also stopped all funding for the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’s successor. The chickens’ hatched by Obama put all the Congress into a black hole of not caring one wit. Dead people needed to keep collecting their Social Security checks, but astronauts in space?
Who needs them?
We found out America was no longer going to send man into space. Noooo….we were just going to watch him on Earth with millions of spy drones, and camera’s, and satellites surveying his every move.
John Glenn could just go cry to someone else. Obama shut it all down. As a result of NASA’s closing—over 10,000 lost their jobs, and over 1,213 suppliers lost contracts. 
Obama was closing the space program down to just the robots. This from a Liberal site:
If NASA were de-funded, the private sector could begin to deliver services that are actually valuable to consumers, things NASA barely emphasizes, like employing robot satellites that gather information about the Earth to supply the high commercial demand for more accurate weather forecasts and geological assessments.
Leave it to the Liberals to make NASA into Al Gore’s Brown Shirts of global warming.
The President’s budget canceled joint U.S.-European robotic missions to Mars in 2016 and 2018.
But not this one: This one, was done…and was done—perfectly. The Curiosity mission costs $2.5 billion — almost $1 billion over budget.
Funny. That’s about what we send Pakistan every year.
This from one “participant.”
Schiff said he believes Mars was targeted for cuts because the administration thought there would be, at best, a muted reaction and little opposition. “They have been astounded by the fury of the pushback, and that is the only thing that has saved us so far.”
Who knows? Maybe Obama wasn’t expecting this mission to succeed. But that didn’t stop him for taking credit for it.
You didn’t hear it today, but a handful of us who were up late last night did. Only a few minutes after Curiosity had landed…two of Obama’s butt-boys came on the air.
“I want to thank MY boss, President Obama!” said the first one. The second one did the same…thanked Obama. All of a sudden, the joyous celebration in the room turned into Obama’s big success. THE BOSS.
Obama had done it all. He killed bin Laden with his bare hands. He single handedly put America back in the good graces of Muslims around the world, and without his guidance, Curiosity would have never landed on Mars.
Someone in his administration was smart enough to keep that off the TV’s today. But I wished they’d play it.
Obama had nothing to do with the success of this landing.
But, watch him soon…he WILL take credit for it.
As for the team at NASA…God Bless you all…Curiosity will pave the way for the first American man on the moon, and trust us..we all know who built that road, and it was no BO. God…I just LOVE this stuff! 
Watch Michelle’s Fingernails…
Nobody Flashes
Got $250,000 you just want to blow? Well, here’s something you might think about: 18 caret-gold black diamond nail polish. 267 carets. They made no mention of HOW you would get it off. I don’t know about you…but I’m going to be watching Michelle Obama’s fingernails next White House party. Remember…one bottle: $250,000 by O.P.I. You might as well get another bottle for your cat. 
Should Obama Even…Golf?
Nobody’s Opinion
Obama was out playing golf yesterday…on his 51st birthday. But listen to this newscast. Look how they twist the facts…and leave out important notes.
First: Woodrow Wilson played 1,000 “rounds” of golf? That could mean only nine holes. And that was long before a whole city had to shut down just to allow the Presidential motorcade stop everyone’s day. Also, Woodrow Wilson and Eisenhower served two terms. But…did those guys take as many vacations as Obama has? Go to as many fundraisers? (Which I could imagine is really hard..wine and dine on the best food in the world, stay at the best hotels, etc, spent a gazillion dollars flying around on Air Force One.) And Obama plays a lot of basketball too. Obama has played ten times more than Bush did in his two terms of office. And yet, they act at CNN as if Obama has done NOTHING wrong..
Second: According to this tape, Mitt Romney…adds additions to his house instead of playing golf. OH…the HORROR!
Notice how insidious this is. Romney is “paying” people to “build” his homes, which is giving some construction workers some much-needed work. Romney is NOT the President of the United States, who is suppose to be putting his hours into running the country, which Obama is doing a piss poor job of. In fact, the only time he works is when he signs an executive order.
That’s it. That’s the only time he works as our President. And most of those “orders” border on treason.
Notice how they turn the President’s playing golf (wasting time while WE are paying him to do a job..to RELAX) while that rich Mitt Romney is just going around spending his OWN money. They talk about Mitt with malice and hatred for…THE RICH. Which they want you to think, Obama is not, so he deserves to play.
CNN is sucking up big time here, hoping you buy this “comparison.” Right. The Americans people are ‘suckers’ for letting this man rip us off as much as he does. He is suppose to be WORKING for us! Not having the time of his life vacationing every single chance he gets. And playing golf, IS a vacation. It’s not like he needs the exercise. 
President George W. Bush got caught on the golf course once and he was sort of a smart alec. (And they USED that video over and over again. ) He wisely gave it up, and took up bike riding! (LOL!) Which is cheaper.
Mr Bush later gave up golf, saying in a 2008 interview: “I don’t want to some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf… And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
Mr Obama’s Sunday golf game prompted anger in Poland, where the Warsaw Business Post carried a headline reading: “Obama goes golfing instead of attending Kaczynskis’ funeral”.
Obama was playing golf at Andrews Air Force Base on Saturday before heading to Camp David, the private presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin (kuh-TAHK’-tin) Mountains.
It’s easy to get hooked on golf…Mr. President. Better get as many “free” rounds in as you can.
Next year, you’ll be playing on your own.
Here Comes the Judge…
Nobody Gets Email
Here’s one that will make you think, and also wonder, which one of these people are senile? (Thanks to Tom Beebe) Not a hard guess.
A nightmare to ponder. Be sure to vote! It’s not going to be pretty if they all decide to resign at once.
Just in Case You Don’t Like Mitt Romney…
Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election…
“Mitt won the nomination and I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who may have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:
1. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.
Whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court–in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come. If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin; something illegal.
Add to that a solid Republican majority in both the House and the Senate, so that the Demon-crats can’t block conservative nominees in the Supreme Court, or block/stop a total repeal of Obamacare.
Nobody Gets Email: Guns, and the Lack Thereof
Nobody Gets Email
Here’s two email that came in just about the same time last week, and in my Nobody’s Opinon, they are a perfect fit!
(Thanks to Pattie and Floyd)
THIS IS THE BEST WORDED PRO-GUN ARGUMENT THAT I HAVE EVER READ. (Says Pattie and she works for the Police in the crime lab)
As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against the Chicago, IL, Gun Ban, I offer you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine), that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society. Interesting take and one you don’t hear much… Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter…..
“The Gun Is Civilization” By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some. When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat – it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed.
People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.
People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.
The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable.
When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation… And that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)
So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced. This is worth printing and sharing with others!
John Kerry as Secretary of State? OMG….
Nobody Cares
Here’s another important reason NOT to vote for Obama. Word has it that Hillary is going to quit her job as Secretary of State, and John Kerry will take over if Obama is re-elected. As you see here, he believes WE are the cause of the many wars in Africa, and all over the world, because WE have caused global warming.
This may have been taken in 2009, but he was talking about global warming today on the Senate floor…which means they would pass global taxes.
Under John Kerry, you would have to pay taxes on the miles you drive, the trash you put out, the water you drink…and the bikes you DON’T own.
The worst is yet to come if Obama is re-elected. The hair alone scares me.
Highway 61 is NOT Finished
“God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says “Man, you must be puttin’ me on” God says, “No.” Abe say, What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but the next time you see me comin’ you better run.”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says. “Out on Highway 61.”

Nobody Remembers
Ahmadinejad is not shy about wanting to destroy every Jew on the planet. It seems his GOD is still having problems sharing the planet with the other GODs.
In a speech published on his website Thursday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the ultimate goal of world forces must be theannihilation of Israel. Speaking to ambassadors from Islamic countries ahead of ‘Qods Day’ (‘Jerusalem Day’), an annual Iranian anti-Zionist event established in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeini and which falls this year on August 17, Ahmadinejad said that a “horrible Zionist current” had been managing world affairs for “about 400 years.”
Nobody Thinks: Only 400?
Jews and the Muslims came out of the same desert, and on the slat of the Bell Curve, they should be more alike. The Jews were slaves first and their “god” was a jealous god, and he let them know it.
Both tribes were cut from the same father..Abraham. But the sons of Abraham—Ishmael and Isaac, were not cut from the same mother. Can we blame the mothers? Ishmael was a bully, and Abraham sent him and his mother Hagar away for picking on his younger brother. Later on God told Abraham to kill Isaac…to show his love for him. By all accounts, Isaac was the nicer kid.
The old testament God was not very lovable.
After the long exodus, it goes, God gave the Jews the ‘promised’ land. and he ordered them to go into Jericho and slaughter all the women and children, and ordered the Jews to not leave anyone alive.
Call me crazy, but that sounds just like something Ahmahdinjad would say.
Joshua took the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down, and burnt it so badly that archeologists being paid big bucks STILL can’t find it.
So, why did these two genetically attached tribes of the ancient dessert have such different succeed rates?
Nobody Thinks: It was the Ten Commandments. Okay, it was a lot more than the Ten Commandments. Somewhere there’s a genetic scholar that believes it was in the genes. Ishmael was a bully…he spawned a whole line of bullies. Isaac was ALWAYS getting picked on. The Jews have had a history of just that.
All this time has gone by, and they are STILL waiting for Armageddon. God said the Jews were the chosen ones. Allah said the Islamists are the chosen ones.
Can I get a vowel here?
So…who’s going to win out in the end?
There’s an old Bible Story not much told about Joshua, and the Battle of Rephidim. While the Jews had been walking in the desert, they were having trouble finding water and food, but there was something else that scared them even more than dying on the desert floor: The Amalekites..the desert raiders.
Moses told Joshua to go and fight them. And Moses said he would stand on a high hill and raise his arms and pray to God, and as long as Joshua saw Moses arms raised, he would win the battle.
The battle began and the Jews held the line, Moses was holding up his arms to the sky, and then some of the men got excited, broke the line, and went after the swords of the Amalekites, then Moses arms fell down. The Amalekites came back, and Joshua, much like George Washington years later, ran after them, and rallied them back to fight.
The Jews won the battle.
And here’s the kicker, that makes me give a big chuckle.
When Joshua looked up at the hill, old Moses, who by then was over a hundred, had Aaron holding up one arm, and Hur the other.
I’m really not sure how to take that, but it’s funny.
Metaphorically speaking, you could say the Jews of 2012 have allies in war to hold up the hand of Moses: England and America. (Well, we hope. Not so sure with Obama)
Ahmadiemjad might have to wait another 400 years if he decides to attack the tribe of Joshua.
Highway 61 is yet to be finished.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
