Happy 2010

2009-12-31T07:39:00.001-06:00

Well, well, 2010 is almost here. To my two readers and anyone else that might of stopped over, thank you. To all my blog friends, there are so many, but just to name a few, Try 2 Focus, Dad 29 and Pine River World News, didn't mean to leave someone out but to all,

THANK YOU.

Some comments and thoughts to what might or will happen in 2010.

The good Lord will give me another year to be with such a blessed gift as in the gift of my family.

The Packers get to the second round, not sure after that.

Mark Martin will take fifth in the chase and Tony Stewart will take the cup, Patrick will give NASCAR a lift in viewership.

The dems will lose over 70 seats the house but will lose less then 13 in the senate.

Will find a faster way then dial up for internet at the compound in northern Wisconsin.

Berry Lakers daughter and son in law will prosper, sons 1 & 2 will get jobs this summer, Penelope will be open minded to conservative ideas.

I will see more of my grand son.

I will try to call my mother at least once everyday.

I will try to do a better job at blogging using better punctuation and spelling.

Obama will hit A 32% approval rating.

Time to invest in a hand gun.

Will stock up on some commodities and as Dad down south says, " BUY MORE AMMO "

The people of this country wake up and take their country back!

Remember, Success - The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. Vincent T. Lombardi

To everyone, Thank you and

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Time off from blogging, going on a mini vacation to work on reinforcing the compound.

It's Green Bay's Fault

2009-12-31T07:13:00.003-06:00

What utter nonsense from the Green Bay Press Gazette. Head line, "Obama's health-care push began in Green Bay."

If this health care reform started in Green Bay then let us blame the people of Green Bay. If Green Bay started this boondoggle then I and many others (what, over 60% of people against this health care reform) are not from the Green Bay area. Who is kissing who's rear end here. The Obama administration show's utter incompetence on homeland security ( pantie bomber) and now we have to read puff pieces from the Green Bay Press. As Walter Matthau said , Lovely, just lovely

"Obama's health-care push began in Green Bay
President discussed plans during visit to school in June

By Malavika Jagannathan • mjaganna@greenbaypressgazette.com • December 31, 2009

The debate over health care kicked off in June when President Barack Obama used Green Bay Southwest High School as the backdrop to announce his vision for what he characterized as much-needed reform."
Obama's health-care push began in Green Bay | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

Congress took one step closer to a final bill on health care Christmas Eve when the Senate voted for an overhaul that would require most Americans to have insurance.

The Senate's bill must still be merged with legislation passed by the House before Obama could sign a final bill, and there are significant differences between the two measures.

Yes, a step closer to socilism in this country.

The House bill has stricter limits on abortion than the Senate, and unlike the House, the Senate measure omits a government-run insurance option.

But both would expand coverage to millions of Americans who don't have insurance, a significant goal that Obama outlined in his speech in Green Bay.

Millions, you heard it here folks. And Granny and Uncle Stanley will go before death panels to get turned down on their health care.

Using Hobart resident Laura Klitzka's personal struggle with medical bills for her breast cancer treatment as an example, Obama spoke to a 1,500-person crowd in the gymnasium of Southwest High School of the need for insurance reform and expansion of health care to millions of uninsured through a federally regulated national exchange.

Did we all forget it was not an open event. Only lefties in the area were in attendence.

Those on both sides of the various bills introduced in Congress over the summer clashed at public venues across the country and here in Northeastern Wisconsin.

Specifically the inclusion of a public option in the insurance exchange concept — a provision later removed in the Senate versions of the legislation — drew criticism from those who portrayed it as leading to government-run health care.

U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton, faced people upset about the proposed reforms at listening sessions and town halls throughout the 8th Congressional District during the August recess. Supporters countered those with pro-reform rallies and gatherings before Congress returned to session.

—The Associated Press

Oh, it's those evil people who attended Kagens listen session that don't want health care reform. Steve Kagen stood up against the evil right wing tea party people. Steve Kagen is our hero per the Capital Times. How many pro-reform rallies were there? I only remember the one Kagen had at UWGB. Remember the union thugs patrolling the event.

Green Bay started the the health care reform, not something I would admit. What a joke. As Rush Limbaugh said last week, those evil people protesting at all those listening sessions delayed the health care reform vote till December of this year. That's the real story. The reporter should of wrote about how Kagen's 1st August listen session started the fight against health care reform. The MSM is working overtime trying to paint Obama and liberals like Steve Kagen in Washington in a positve light when everything is falling apart around them.

Let;s all blame Green Bay for Obamacare.

"Kagen was state’s star in Congress in 2009

John Nichols | Capital Times associate editor | Posted: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 4:50 am | 1 Comment

When Steve Kagen was elected to Congress in 2006, as part of the great wave of reaction against the Bush administration’s imperial and economic excesses, it was presumed by many a pundit that he would serve as a cautious centrist who was more concerned about keeping his seat than doing right by the republic. Instead, Kagen has turned out to be a refreshingly independent representative.

Few members of Congress, be they Democrats or Republicans, have been as willing as Kagen to challenge the political orthodoxies of his party and of official Washington.

As such, Kagen was the most inspired member of the Wisconsin congressional delegation in 2009."
Kagen was state’s star in Congress in 2009

That makes him the state’s most inspired federal legislator of 2009. And, in the volatile political climate of 2010, it could get him re-elected — as his maverick stances place him squarely in the best Wisconsin tradition of governing according to conscience and necessity rather than compromise and neglect.

Oh my God! Is John Nichols trying to get Jake the Snake's job on Kagens staff? Where is this guy coming from? "The most inspired member of the Wisconsin congressional delegation", say what?

President Obama yesterday trashed the “systemic failure” by security and intelligence agencies that allowed an al Qaeda crotch bomber to nearly blow up a US airliner — as it was revealed the CIA had been tracking the jihadi since August.

“When our government has information on a known extremist, and that information is not shared and acted upon -- as it should have been -- so that this extremist boards a plane with dangerous explosives that could have cost nearly 300 lives, a systemic failure has occurred," Obama said.

"And I consider that totally unacceptable." "

In a word, slow strangulation. First will come the socialized medicine, followed by the cap and trade and finally the forced increase in interest rates, as no one will want to buy the debt of the world's biggest beggar who is busy murdering its own economy.

Many companies will flee the U.S., shifting their registrations and headquarters from America to other nations with lower levels of insane regulation and taxation. Further, the crunch will force one state after another to bankrupt. The American federal government will find itself in a situation of either letting the suffering spread, before their parliamentary elections or printing money and spending with abandon to avoid the pain around election time and off set it a bit further. Thus will start the final phase of run away inflation.

The American Marxists will face a third "radical" party of conservatives, who will threaten their One Party Two Branch monopoly and will in the end require strong security and military reactions.

Disaster in Afghanistan and renewed major unrest in Iraq will only spur the feeling of instability as additionally, Mexico's civil war will continue to spill over into America.

How easily Wisconsinites forget their basic rights

By James Gleason

It has become apparent over the last 20 years that the people of this state have forgotten their very rights of which this country was founded.

In this coming year, the gun rights advocates in this state are uniting in a movement that will campaign against any state representative, senator or legislator who does not support an individual's God-given right to keep and bear arms or their God-given right to self-defense.

That's right, a campaign against incumbents and candidates who do not support these rights.

Wisconsin has long been a state that is always the last to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to such issues. Now it would seem that through some corrupt movement of the city government of Milwaukee, just maybe there will be some legislation for a firearms carry bill in Wisconsin.

Well, let's not jump for joy just yet. Let's look at the means of infringement that will follow.

First, the Legislature will try to impose as many obstacles as possible to be able to exercise this God-given right.

Starting with a ridiculously unaffordable permit fee and then imposing a mandate on training that will again be ridiculously unaffordable to the average citizen. Without a doubt, following these will be gun and gun owner registration.

So let's look at these issues.

First, the United States Supreme Court has on many occasions stated that a person does not have to be permitted, pay a fee, be trained or registered to exercise their rights under the Constitution.

With that in mind, why doesn't the Legislature in Wisconsin set an example by adapting the Vermont system of firearms carry? This would make sense.

Instead, there is already talk of mandatory training. Why would you need to be trained to do something you already know? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to use a firearm. Training should only be an option and nothing more.

There are already so-called firearms instructors lining up and weaseling their way to the legislative training with no other thought in mind than lining their pockets with greenbacks at the citizen's expense. Any legislator in support of these weasels will surely get compensation of some kind.

Being permitted, to exercise a right; makes that right nothing more than a privilege.

Therefore, Wisconsin should pass a no compromise concealed carry/open carry, non-permitted system such as Vermont's, which is the oldest recognized system in the country. If it works for Vermont it can work for Wisconsin. After all, if the legislators are only going to copy another state's system then why not Vermont's?

The unconstitutional firearms laws that plague this state are the cause of the high crime rates we enjoy today.

The gun-free school zone laws which have already been declared unconstitutional at the federal level do nothing more than assist criminals who ignore these laws anyway.

Why can't the legislators or this state understand that if the teachers and law-abiding adults at Columbine High School would have been armed the outcome would have been different and the massacre would have ended with fewer deaths or injuries?

The same goes with Virginia Tech. Do you think this cannot happen in Wisconsin? Think again.

The gun-free school zone law needs to be amended to read that no person may carry a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school used for the education of children in grades K-12, illegally or for unlawful purposes.

It is as simple as that.

This would allow law-abiding citizens to carry within the school zone for self-defense and for the defense of others.

The transportation restriction for firearms in this state are nothing more than an extension of the long arm of the already corrupt Department of Natural Resources trying to restrict and infringe on our rights.

A firearm must be unloaded, encased and out of your reach in order to be transported legally in Wisconsin.

With that in mind, if you are being carjacked, simply request that the carjacker wait until you have retrieved your firearm from the trunk or farthest out-of-reach area of your vehicle and load it before resuming the carjacking. I am sure the carjacker will understand and abide by your request. Or you can always just give up your vehicle with possibly your children and your firearm inside in an effort to save yourself.

Why should these legislators ever be allowed to put us in such a position? They shouldn't. It is abuse of authority and blatant infringement on our rights.

How about the law which states, that you cannot carry a firearm into a business that sells alcohol for consumption on the premises.

Let me bring to your attention the true story of former Texas legislator Susanna Hupp. I will quote a Wikipedia article which reads,

"On Wednesday, October 16, 1991, Hupp and her parents were having lunch at the Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen. She had left her handgun in her car to comply with Texas state law at the time which forbade carrying a concealed weapon. When George Hennard drove his truck into the cafeteria and opened fire on the patrons, Hupp instinctively reached into her purse for her weapon, but it was in her vehicle. Her father, Al Gratia, tried to rush Hennard and was shot in the chest. As the gunman reloaded, Hupp escaped through a broken window and believed that her mother, Ursula Gratia, was behind her. Hennard put a gun to her mother's head as she cradled her mortally wounded husband. Hupp's mother and father were killed along with 21 other persons. Hennard also wounded some 20 others. As a survivor of the Luby's massacre, Hupp testified across the country in support of concealed-handgun laws. She said that had there been a second chance to prevent the slaughter, she would have violated the Texas law and carried the handgun inside her purse into the restaurant."

Don't think this could happen in Wisconsin or to your family? Think again.

Look to the recent terrorist incident at Fort Hood. Again, Wisconsin paid the price for not allowing Americans to defend themselves. We lost two of our soldiers because even on a military base, our soldiers are not allowed to carry a firearm for self-defense.

What has happened to our country that we will allow our soldiers to carry a weapon in foreign lands but not here at home? God bless our soldiers who have lost their lives because of these ridiculous laws.

Another blatant infringement on our rights is the law that states you cannot carry a firearm into a building which is owned by the government or its subdivisions or in state parks.

This means you cannot protect yourself from a serial killer who may be stalking the state parks in search of their next victim, nor can you use the public bathrooms in city parks or on county trails. I guess you have to simply leave a yard biscuit on the lawn or disarm and leave your firearm lying on the grass outside the bathroom.

Maybe you could ask a passerby (who may even be a felon) to hold the firearm for you until you exit the bathroom.

Am I the only one who sees just how ridiculous these laws are?

I hope not.

This coming January when the new Legislature session begins, it is hopeful that the Castle Doctrine allowing a person to defend themselves and their families within their private property will pass legislation and become a law that will be signed into law by the governor. Keep in mind this is one of the most anti-gun governors Wisconsin has ever had. So don't hold your breath, he is not looking to do us any favors. He has an armed entourage at his disposal so he could care less about your ability to defend yourself or your family without having to worry about being sued by the criminal or the criminal's family for doing so.

Make an effort to become familiar with your rights and remember a right not exercised is a right lost.

Check out opencarry.org and sign the petition to repeal or amend these ridiculous laws and stop the infringement on our rights.

Call your state representative or state senator and demand that they support the Castle Doctrine and legislation for a no-compromise open carry/concealed carry non-permitted system here in Wisconsin. Tell them if they don't support your rights as afforded to you under the U.S and the Wisconsin constitutions, you will not support them at election time.

It is time we as law-abiding citizens take a stand. Wisconsin should stand united.

Under the radar, Obama pushes for Patriot Act renewal
Feingold expresses frustration over Senate version
Richard Moore
Investigative Reporter

With key sections of the U.S. Patriot Act set to expire Dec. 31, the Obama administration - essentially tiptoeing through the corridors of Congress and using the raucous health care debate as cover - has quietly maneuvered for renewal of the controversial provisions, which he opposed as a senator.

Perhaps the most contentious measure is the business records provision, also known as the library provision, which allows the government to seek a court order forcing private entities such as banks, hospitals, and libraries to hand over "any tangible thing" - from library circulation records to medical records - officials think is relevant in a terrorist investigation.

This week, with time running out and no time to debate the bill on its merits, Democratic supporters of reauthorization in the Senate tried but fail to win House support to embed the provisions in a separate $626 billion Pentagon funding bill. The House has passed a bill with stronger civil liberties protections, but that version is not expected to survive."
