Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Bush Administration Backs "Gun-Regulation!!
Bush administration backs gun regulation !!!!!
A D.C. ban on home handguns may not be constitutional, the solicitor general tells the Supreme Court, but rights are limited and federal firearm restrictions should be upheld.
By David G. Savage, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer January 13, 2008
WASHINGTON -- In their legal battle over gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment, gun- control advocates never expected to get a boost from the Bush administration. But that's just what happened when U.S. Solicitor General Paul D. Clement urged the Supreme Court in a brief Friday to say that gun rights are limited and subject to "reasonable regulation" by the government and that all federal restrictions on firearms should be upheld.Reasonable regulations include the federal ban on machine guns and other "particularly dangerous types of firearms," he said in the brief. Moreover, the government forbids gun possession by felons, drug users, "mental defectives" and people subject to restraining orders, he said."Given the unquestionable threat to public safety that unrestricted private firearm possession would entail, various categories of firearm-related regulation are permitted by the 2nd Amendment," Clement said. He filed the brief in a closely watched case involving Washington, D.C.'s ban on keeping handguns at home for self-defense.The head of a gun-control group said he was pleasantly surprised by the solicitor general's stand. Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Handgun Violence, said he saluted the administration for recognizing a need for limits on gun rights. Alan Gura, a key gun-rights advocate who is leading the challenge to the District of Columbia's gun law, expressed disappointment at the administration's position. He said he was troubled that Clement advised the justices to send the case back for further hearings in a lower court."We are not happy. We are very disappointed the administration is hostile to individual rights. This is definitely hostile to our position," Gura said.This year, for the first time, the court is expected to rule squarely on whether the 2nd Amendment gives individuals a right to have a gun despite laws or ordinances restricting firearms.In the past, this amendment has sometimes been read as protecting only state militias. It says: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The case before the court tests the constitutionality of the District of Columbia's unusually restrictive ordinance. Clement, the Bush administration's chief lawyer before the court, agreed that the 2nd Amendment "protects an individual right to possess firearms, including for private purposes unrelated to militia operations." D.C.'s ban on handguns goes too far and is probably unconstitutional, he added.A ruling along these lines would be a major victory for advocates of gun owners' rights.But the solicitor general devoted most of his brief, filed late Friday, to urging the court to move cautiously and to make clear that the 2nd Amendment does not threaten most current restrictions on guns and gun owners.Clement also said the court should stop short of striking down the D.C. ordinance on its own. Instead, he said, the case should be sent back to a trial judge. "The D.C. ban may well fail constitutional scrutiny" he said, because it totally forbids private citizens from having a handgun at home. But such a ruling should not threaten other laws, he said. "Nothing in the 2nd Amendment properly understood . . . calls for invalidation of the numerous federal laws regulating firearms." Under Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft, the Bush administration in 2001 switched the Justice Department's long-standing support for gun control and adopted the view that the 2nd Amendment protects individuals' gun rights.The solicitor general holds an unusual position in the government. He is an appointee of the president in the Justice Department, representing the administration's view in court. At the same time, he has a duty to defend the laws passed by Congress, including in this instance the restrictions on machine guns and who can own a firearm. The solicitor general is also an advisor to the Supreme Court. And usually, the briefs filed by his office carry more weight with the justices than any others.The court will hear arguments in the D.C. case in late March.david.savage@latimes.com

The Selling of America
George Bush and other politicians care nothing about the security of the United States! I don’t use those words “Lightly I have been hoping he would show a “Turn-Around” on the way he has been running the USA.
George Bush and other politicians are continuing to destroy our country simply out of greed. Our Companies are closing down as fast as they can, and relocating Over-Sea’s to where ever the labor is the cheap.
Mean while, foreigner are coming over here to the USA and Buying the House’s that the “Out-Of-Work” people can’t afford because of the jobs relocating over-sea’s. If you think that “I’m OK because “I have a Job Or I have a house, take a Close look at your bank Account. What ever you had in their last year, the money is worth Less now, and going lower ever week.
It’s like the politicians are Stealing your money, right out of the bank, but they won’t do any Jail -Time
Don’t even talk to me about the Sorry Democrats’ Hell, they are even worst!
The Only thing that is going to save this Country is to Clean-House and Vote them ALL out of office!

Liberty And Freedom
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. ..Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
Every man is responsible for defending every woman and every child. When the male no longer takes this role, when he no longer has the courage or feels the moral responsibility, then that society will no longer be a society where honor and virtue are esteemed. Laws and government cannot replace this personal caring and commitment.In the absence of the Warrior protector, the only way that a government can protect a society is to remove the freedom of the people.And the sons and daughters of lions become sheep."

Michigan man Wins the "Idiot Of The Year Award !
Shooter says he mistook cow for coyote
Thu Nov 22, 7:26 PM ET
A man says he shot and killed a neighbor's cow after mistaking it for a coyote.
Authorities and the owner are skeptical.
The undersheriff in northern Michigan's Benzie County says he doesn't see how anyone could confuse a 1,400-pound, pregnant cow with a coyote, which typically weighs 20 to 45 pounds.
And anyway, shooting coyotes is illegal during deer-shooting season. Authorities asked the county prosecutor to bring charges.
The 42-year-old man told authorities he was out to shoot coyotes near his home Saturday when he killed the cow, Undersheriff Rory Heckman said. Heckman said the man then tried to drag the cow home.
"The part of his story he his holding to is he shot at a coyote. I don't know how he hit a several-thousand-pound cow mistaking it for a coyote," Heckman said.
The cow, named Hannah, had wandered away from her farm.
"My husband thought that he should go through some therapy looking at repeated pictures of cows and coyotes, because they look nothing alike," said owner DeAnn Mosher. "It didn't make any sense to me
Drum-Roll Please....I think we could All agree that this man should win the
"Idoit Of the Year Award.
NOTE: That goes to show you " Never Wear a Fur-Coat when in the state of Michigan ! "Big-Grins"

Political Correctness And Communism
Political Correctness
( From the News )
Santas is warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to women.
Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting, because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.
Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.
One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper, a recruitment firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could frighten children and was too close to "ho", a US slang term for prostitute.
"Gimme a break," said Julie Gale, who runs the campaign against sexualising children called "Kids Free 2B Kids.
"We are talking about little kids who do not understand that "ho, ho, ho" has any other connotation and nor should they," she told the Telegraph.
"Leave Santa alone."
A local spokesman for the US-based Westaff recruitment firm said it was "misleading" to say the company had banned Santa's traditional greeting and it was being left up to the discretion of the individual Santa himself.
*******************************************************************
If you think about it, “Political Correctness” is in fact just Leftist bigotry. Bigotry is unfairly favoring one or more groups of people over others -- usually justified as "truth.
Political correctness is most pervasive in universities and colleges, but it has found its way into our Government too i.e. The Military, Police Forces and other government agency
Note: The Information below is a Copy from a Non-Political Correct Guy!
Does anyone know the origins of Political Correctness? Who originally developed it and what was its purpose?
I looked it up. It was developed at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany, which was founded in 1923 and came to be known as the "Frankfurt School." It was a group of thinkers who pulled together to find a solution to the biggest problem facing the implementers of communism in Russia.
The problem? Why wasn't communism spreading?
Their answer? Because Western Civilization was in its way.
What was the problem with Western Civilization? Its belief in the individual, that an individual could develop valid ideas. At the root of communism was the theory that all valid ideas come from the effect of the social group of the masses. The individual is nothing.
And they believed that the only way for communism to advance, was to help (or force, if necessary) Western Civilization to destroy itself. How to do that? Undermine its foundations by chipping away at the rights of those annoying individuals.
One way to do that? Change their speech and thought patterns by spreading the idea that vocalizing your beliefs is disrespectful to others and must be avoided to make up for past inequities and injustices.
And call it something that sounds positive: "Political Correctness."
Inspired by the brand new communist technique, Mao, in the 1930s, wrote an article on the "correct" handling of contradictions among the people. "Sensitive training" – sound familiar? – And speech codes were born.
In 1935, after Hitler came to power, the Frankfurt School moved to New York City, where they continued their work by translating Marxism from economic to cultural terms using Sigmund Freud's psychological conditioning mechanisms, to get Americans to buy into Political Correctness. In 1941, they moved to California to spread their wings.
But Political Correctness remains just what it was intended to be: a sophisticated and dangerous form of censorship and oppression, imposed upon the citizenry with the ultimate goal of manipulating, brainwashing and destroying our society.

How to Sink a U.S. Air Craft Carrier
As Adm. Gary Roughead, Commander of the US Pacific Fleet was in China holding talks with Chinese navy leaders, and Adm. William J. Fallon, Commander of US forces in the Pacific, who has engaged in an ambitious military exchange program with China.
Note. This means He was in China making deals to let some China Officers onto our U.S. Ships to see our NEW High Tech Weapons while we get to see some rusting Junk weapons, the China Navy no longer needs i.e. Things like Black powder ships cannons, homing pigeons, maybe even a Catapult or two.
Anyways, while this party was going on I mean Meeting, Up pops a submerged Chinese Song class attack submarine, within Weapons Range of one of our Air Craft Carrier , The U.S. Kitty Hawk
It was said The encounter was something of an embarrassment to Adm. William J. Fallon, Commander of US forces in the Pacific, as he was engaged in a military exchange program with China.
Now a Heads Up, I don’t know everything about U.S. Navy security, but I do know that you Never, but Never let an Enemy attack submarine get within Weapons Range of one of our Air Craft Carrier.
We have spent Billions of dollars on ship security to make sure this would Never Happen. Someone or Lots of Someone’s had to be sleeping at the switch OR under orders to Stand-Down
The Song-class attack submarine is normally equipped with wake-homing torpedoes and Anti ship cruise missiles. That’s more then enough to sink a ship "with the estimate 5000 personnel on board".
Apparently, as far as security for the ships are concerned The Commander of the US Pacific Fleet and The Commander of US forces in the Pacific is of the same “Caliber” as the Commander of Pearl Harbor, just before the Japanese Bombed our ships.
These two Idiots needs to be relived from duty as Commander’s of US Navy forces and put in charge of something that does not need so much Security and something they can handle. “Like the Mess Hall”
So Drum-Roll Please ..My Idiot Of the Year Award goes to
1. Adm. Gary Roughead, Commander of the US Pacific Fleet
2. Adm. William J. Fallon, Commander of US forces in the Pacific
