Yeah, What she said! Sarah Merkle 15 leaves anti-gun politicians speechless
Video - Sarah Merkle 15, member of the Maryland State Rifle Team testifies before politicians about ignorance of the gun control argument and proposed anti-gun legislation. A Must watch video. Sarah Merkle is a member of the Maryland Rifle Club (Media Credit: Fox News) She began shooting at the tender age of 8 and joined the Maryland State Rifle Team at age 11, where she has learned to shoot a semi-automatic AR-15 Bushmaster rifle. She explained how her shooting experience has put her on the radar for colleges who offer shooting scholarships and with an assault weapons ban, she would be unable to hone her skills in her home state. 'Guns don't kill people, people do,' she said, a line that has been repeatedly promoted by the National Rifle Association. 'Taking away [...]
A Government Tragedy by Joe Keck
In the wake of the terrible mass murder in Colorado, many have said the gun control issue needs to be focused upon, examined, re-evaluated and looked at to see if possibly more stringent laws are needed. According to news reports, it took 90 seconds for the police to get to the scene. Apparently, officers caught the shooter, 24 year-old James Holms, as he was walking back to his car, possibly to retrieve more weapons. Of course, the horror of this incident is the loss of innocent life, the deaths and injuries of law-abiding citizens for doing nothing more than enjoying the many leisurely recreations this great country has to offer. But there is another tragedy - politicians and activists hijacking this heinous crime to further their anti-gun agenda. Mere days after the [...]
A Special Christmas Gift List For My Favorite Politicians and Politicos
From YID With LID There are only 17 days left till Christmas, and if you are like me you will go shopping to purchase presents to say thank you to our leaders who worked so hard during the past year to make our lives, well more interesting. I have given my list much thought and this is my list of gifts for America's politicians and politicos that I promise to go out and purchase as soon as I can. Nancy Pelosi- An Electric Broom (what else do you get a witch who has everything). Eric Holder- Hooked on Phonics. You ever see him at a committee hearing? All he ever says is "no I didn't read that." It's obvious that the guy can't read. Mitt Romney- No a waffle iron or a pair of flip-flops would have been to easy. Like the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, I want to [...]
69 Percent of the Public oppose raising the debt limit. Obama: The American people don’t understand politics
President Obama said that the reason 69 percent of the American people don't want the debt limit raised is they are ignorant. The simply are too busy getting the kids ready for school and doing the dishes to take the time to understand the debt crisis. Anyway, the American people shouldn't try to understand this complicated issue. Of course I am paraphrasing. See it is my job as a "professional" to reduce things the elite professional politicians say down to an uneducated level for the reader to understand. I mean you all cant even understand your spouse or teenager let alone understanding politics. We think Obama showed his true colors, he is an elitist and can't relate to the American people. He has not stepped back once and wondered how it looks when he doubles the size of [...]

Revenge may be what is driving WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange. In December a Swiss bank, PostFinance closed his bank account containing nearly thirty-one thousand Euros.

Rudolf Elmer, who was fired from Julius Bär, a leading Swiss private banking group, in 2002 and who faces trial in Switzerland on Wednesday for an earlier breach of bank secrecy laws, told Switzerland's Der Sonntag newspaper that he intends to hand over two CDs of data to the controversial Internet platform.
