Today in our state are the primary elections--where the parties' "multiple choices" will probably come down to a two-per-party run-off in two weeks. If you vote today, you must vote in the same party's run-off.
Anyway--as usual, our quiet, refined state is up to its usual slime. A little-known State Representative (female) somehow surged ahead in the polls, ahead of three male counterparts. In the two weeks prior to the vote, two very chivalrous men could no longer hide their shame and sin and confessed adulterous affairs with this contender. Hmmmm. She has denied the veracity of their allegations. For some reason, her poll numbers increased to over 40%. Perhaps voters realize not all slime is in the Gulf coast.
Get out there and vote. Many have died to give you this right.
Another F.Y.I.
The attempt to have gun control in America has not gone away. No matter whatever protestations come from Washington, D.C. this administration wants to get gun control in place. So far, vigilant Americans have stood in the breech to prevent this. No matter what they say, this administration has people holding office and positions to push for gun control. In October, 2009, Secretary of state, H R Clinton spoke of the UN treaty being negotiated. Gun Rights Examiner, David Codrea reported, "No sooner do we get done talking about one international gun control effort than another resurrects itself, or should I say, is dug up by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Then a quote from Reuters: "The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales by consensus, a stance critics say gave every nation a veto. The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George w. Bush's administration..."
The State Department's press release: "As long as the Conference operates under the rule of consensus decision-making needed to ensure that all countries can be held to standards that will actually improve the global situation by denying arms to those who would abuse them, the United States will actively support the negotiations."
Oxfam International, wants other countries to "resist any US demands to give any single state the power to veto the treaty" demanding all governments to reject this veto clause.
Former Georgia congressman, Bob Barr reported, with Hilary Clinton's endorsement of the treaty, that this the country is heading in the wrong direction. In his book, "'Perfect Storm' for UN Gun Control Agenda" quoted undersecretary John Bolton, referencing our constitutionally guaranteed "rights to keep and bear arms," that the US "would not be a party to an international effort that would directly or indirectly infringe that fundamental right."
Barr continues, "We know what has changed: We have a president, a secretary of state, and an undersecretary philosophically in sync with the UN." When Clinton spoke to the UN, the US Constitution was not even mentioned.
There are some who say, "But...we have the Constitution. The second amendment gives us this right." Every year, those who want gun control find some place, some city, to challenge a gun law. So far, the Constitution has been defended. But these folks have very deep pockets. Stay awake. Stay alert. Don't let any treaties get through to infringe on our rights to bear arms and protect ourselves. You never know who will knock on your door to tell you the right is no longer there.
This is an election day! Read what the people are for (and against) before you vote for them. A lot of people are now regretting how they voted in the last election.

Well, let the bast@#%$ try and get mine. I will do whatever I have to to keep mine. I dug up some cashes outside Long Binh base where they had stored them during the Tet Offensive of 68. So if I have to, I can bury my weapons where only I know they are and can get to them if need be. I keep buying amo for all of them so have a good stockpile of lead. I belong to the NRA and the NMLRA and stay in touch with what is going on. I will stay tuned, you bet.

In reference to voting and the current 2 party system. I have maintained for some years now that the "democratic 2 party system" has outlived its useful life and needs to be completely overhauled. Wonder why the "Tea Party" came about? What we need is a good no party system where every candidate for public office has to show what he/she really stands for in support of what will do the best for the entire population not just some small part of it. That is what a "system" is all about. Each component optimizes its functions in support of the whole system not just what it does. Whatever is done must be done in the best interest of the whole not someone's personal agenda. Look at the gulf coast situation, that is caused by greed and all those in support of greed. In case you don't realize it the big corporations run this country and determine how you live your life, what you eat, what you wear, what you drive, what you do, what you listen to, what you watch on tv, etc. these are all governed by the big corporations who have their hands in the pockets of the politicians playing pocket pool. Wake up people. Just rent the video "The Corporation" and learn a little about big business.
