Feinstein vs. Concealed Carry Laws..

The NRA is working hard to gain the 60 votes needed to pass 2 new concealed carry laws. If passed they would require a state to honor concealed carry permits from other states. Harry Reid is requesting that NO votes happen at all on the 2 reciprocity bills...

Well, Diane Feinstein in all her infinite wisdom penned a response on the bills this is an excerpt of what she wrote:
"These dangerous bills ... would undermine states' rights by forcing nearly every state to accept the concealed carry permits issued by other states, even if the permit holder could not qualify for a permit in the state to which he is traveling.

She went on to say:
"Imagine that a man who has been convicted of a domestic violence crime against a woman he had been dating seeks — and obtains — a permit to carry a concealed firearm from his state of residence," she wrote. "Under the concealed carry reciprocity bills, he could legally travel across state lines and confront his former girlfriend ..."

For me, Ms. Feinstein needs to stop right there..and listen up:  Numerous people have been beaten with baseball bats, run down by cars, killed by knives..  It is not the weapon that kills, it is the mind behind the weapon. If that estranged boyfriend wants to confront his ex, then it doesnt matter what he has at his disposal...  If our government is going to make it harder for those of us who are law abiding concealed weapons carriers to cross state lines with our guns, then they need to also rethink every household item we use on a daily basis........

Bob Beckel Drops the F-Bomb

I bet you missed this last night on Hannity. Bob Beckel an annoying liberal , was on Hannitys "Great American Panel" sitting along side him were tea party activist ; Jennifer Stefano, and Neil Boortz. But like the good liberal he is, instead of blaming himself for the foul word, he blames Hannity and Fox News...

DOJ's Private Cell

Did you really think that after an arrest and charges filed, that the case against Zimmerman would just go away?. At first it was the fear of Senior and I that all this would explode and that POTUS would use it as a stepping stone to institute martial law. I mean, that is what he wants after all, to be the forever supreme leader of the Socialist States of America- and to have his graven image stamped on to every piece of paper and coin with monetary value.

But, then it was the wisdom of a good friend who reminded both Senior and I just how slow the court system is in this country..it would be at the very earliest 2013 before any real trial took place.. well.after the election. However if a NOT GUILTY verdict is reached...then watch out.

So to help instill a peaceful calm, the DOJ has inserted itself in to the case, quietly and without you ever knowing it. There is a private cell called "The Community Relations Service" little is known about them. They have instructed those who want to march and protest on  how to keep it peaceful, and even arranged for an escort to be given to college students who wanted to go to Sanford to march. Of course under Obama their roll was greatly increased,members have gone from a  reactionary stance to something of a more aggressive preventative role.

They have been seen every where during the protests, wearing dark blue jackets, and sunglasses. Ball caps emblazoned with DOJ on them. Standing firmly, saying nothing...but taking notes, being the eyes and ears of the protest and reporting back to the federal government who in my opinion has no business in this case.

Treasure Box Pick

Today our youngest got 10 green lights in a row. Everytime a child in his class gets this achievment they get to pick from the class "treasure box". His teacher finds treasures at garage sales and thrift stores.  Our son picked a new/used monster truck.

Given the name on the side, I knew it was instant "blog" material. With the upcoming election , Obama is willing to try anything to stay in office so I hope this is not a  pre-curser of things to come.

Yesterday at the Pump...

Yesterday at the gas pump, I was able to use our business card and save .10 per gallon. A huge help. but there were others around not so lucky. Gas here is 3.96 a gallon..it is killing the American people every time we fill up.
So, it was no real shock to me when a single mom, with a child and dog in her back seat approached me to help her with some gas money... ever since the homeless veteran on the interstate that I couldnt help, I have felt bad...we live right off the highway and see it all the time...

As a rule..I Do not give people cash. But I did offer to put some gas in her tank..she was down here from Georgia, had been looking for work and like most unable to find a job, no place to stay either..and had a child. Before she left Georgia she did fill out an application with Waffle House and got word they wanted to interview her, so she was trying her best to make her way back. I couldn't give much, but did manage to put in about 8 gallons for her, a cost of 30.00.

 Her gratefulness was overwhelming. She did not know how to repay me, but I told her to just get that job, get on her feet, and "pay it forward".. I also told her that one day it could be me who is in that situation and needs her help, I also went on to say that this economy is very poor right now, and anyone could be in her shoes. She shook my hand, and again thanked me for my kindness, Then she and her child and dog went on their way. I hope she made it to her destination okay, living in a car, being a woman with a child is not good.

The whole event was a reality check for me. See lately I have not been okay. and have not been the best person in the world. I have not been the best daughter to my parents, I have been short with them and distant. I have taken my immediate family for granted, and hope that one day they can forgive me for any hurt I caused, I do love them all so deeply.
.
 I want so much  to re-invent myself,  I came home from that event and whipped out the college application for the Medical Assistant program, and started working on it.. I have tried to do so much for so many people that in the process I have forgotten about myself and I have let myself go, and want so much to find those things in life that once made me so very happy.

I want a husband and children who are proud of their wife and mom, and I want the deepest respect from the rest of my family. My brother and neice are both in the medical field and have sworn to help me through the 10 months of classes. My brother is even offering to help me pay for it, he wants so bad to see me with a career.

Also this morning, we are starting back to church. You know my sister is very  Godly, and she told me that no problem is too big for God..to just take it all to the cross. We have not been since July. I owe God so much..and I have not been Thankful.  I know that anytime God can take all these blessing away from us, that every day we get to live is a gift..because in a split second any one of us could be like that single mom on the road with a child and dog.....
