Goodbye to the "World's Worst" Media Personality

Keith Overbite: Countdown to No Ratings. For those who don't know, this was the title given to Keith Olberman by popular nationally-syndicated radio host Mark Levin. This title seemed to be pretty accurate because we recently have found out that Mr. Olbermans MSNBC TV career is coming to an end.

Anyone using both sides of their brain to think can see that this man's television program was a nightmare to watch. Olberman was one of the most popular liberal commentators on TV, however his ratings were far behind any commentator at Fox News. There were several reports to why Olberman was leaving MSNBC ranging from his contract to his political donations. Nonetheless, it is good to know that this mans strange and incompetent rhetoric will not be heard anymore on national television.

A Time of Sorrow

As most people know there was a terrible shooting a week ago, on the morning of Saturday the 8th. A 22-year old man, named Jared Laughner opened fire at Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' outdoor meeting. She was his target and suffered a gun shot wound to the head. Miraculously at this point it appears she will survive the injury. A total of thirteen people were injured and sadly six were killed, including a federal judge, a congressional aide and a nine-year old girl.

Laughner is in custody and faces the death penalty. He is remaining silent, having plead the fifth and will likely go for an insanity plea. There are many reports along with many of his online posts that show he is indeed very mentally unstable.

Everyone is pointing the blame at someone else. Liberals saying conservatives such as Sarah Palin had targeted that district in "cross hairs" on a map of the U.S. and have been using a great deal of gun related language. With conservatives responding to this criticism that those were simply districts to target in elections, and it was never meant to lead to anything like this. Although Laughner targeted a Democrat he appeared to be very mixed along political lines, liking the book by Hitler, Mein Kampf (Giffords was indeed Jewish) and a book by the Chinese communist leader Mao, which would usually be linked more towards the left of the political spectrum.

In all of this political turmoil, there are likely many to blame. But sadly a new far more daunting finger of blame has arisen, as we knew it would. With many Democrats backed by the Brady campaign saying that it was not Loughner to blame or all of the political partisanship, but are now attacking guns........ As always they are using the crisis to get their agenda's passed when they hope there will be less opposition. Fortunately groups such as the NRA have vowed to fight any laws that threaten the second amendment rights of the citizens of Arizona.

It is so sad to see that so many people come away from such a tragedy with conclusions as insane as we see from some of those in the liberal media and politicians. I mean, let me get this straight. A truly mentally ill man goes on a crazy shooting spree in an attempt to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the lesson learned is that guns should be taken away from law abiding citizens? Where is this connection between a mentally ill lunatic and responsible, perfectly sane people coming from? It would be the same as a drunk driver killing an entire family in a car and the state or federal government trying to ban alcohol or even cars to everyone. Absurd right? And yet, that indeed was the response.

There are countless reasons to not ban guns to law abiding citizens, they can not all possibly be named here, but one reason would be that limiting access to guns will not stop criminals from obtaining guns!! Drugs are banned in this country, yet they are found everywhere. If guns were to be banned it would not stop a single criminal from obtaining it on the black market, it would only prevent law abiding citizens from defending themselves. Leaving them to the mercy of thieves, home invaders, murders, rapists and madmen.

As Americans we have a Constitution. It gives law-abiding citizens the right to bear arms. Allowing us to protect ourselves, our families and our homes. It is a huge part of how America has remained so free. God Bless America!

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
--Thomas Jefferson

House Set to Vote on Obamacare Repeal

The United States House of Representatives is set to vote on a bill that would repeal the government healthcare takeover in the coming week. There's about a 99.99% chance that this bill will have absolutely no affect on standing healthcare law. With a democratically-controlled U.S. Senate and Obama in the White House, this initiative will never become law.

The remaining reason for this vote is to at least attempt to make good at the promises Republicans had made to voters before the election. Almost 70% of Americans are against and favor the repeal of this healthcare takeover and the House Republicans have made good on their promise. Even if this bill doesn't go anywhere, the Republicans are at least attempting to make progress in reducing the national debt and creating a climate for job growth. On the other hand, democrats have been on a course of nonstop spending, gibing us trillions and trillions of dollars of debt in only the past few years.

The Republican House has started off on a good note and seems to be addressing the grave concerns that our nation is facing. The only thing we can hope for is that these newly elected House members stick to their principles and their promises and are able to cut reckless spending that is driving our great nation into the ditch.

Donald Trump for President?

With many possible contenders bidding for the 2012 republican Presidential nomination, Donald Trump is a name that might spark some controversy with those who are already assumed to be running. Is Donald Trump a viable candidate? Decide for yourself.

He's a good recent piece of Trump calling into the Savage Nation:

Why is the mainstream media politicizing the Arizona shooting?

If you turn on the news, chances are you are more than likely to see the station covering the shooting in Tuscon, Arizona. This incident was a tradegy and the mainstream media and the left has already hypocritically jumped to conclusions and has blamed everyone from Sarah Palin to Rush Limbaugh. This is almost sickening to watch these people report these utter falsehoods.

This man was absolute nuts. He had a shrine to the devil with a skull in a tent in his back yard. He was a Marxist and a fan of Adolf Hitler. He was an atheist who hated Christians or almost any religion for that matter.

This video sums it up quite nicely:

Members of Congress Read the U.S. Constitution

Congress finally after 221 years has an official reading of the Constitution. The document that gave our government it's structure and guaranteed us our freedom is finally being recognized by our national legislature. It is the job of Congress to look to the Constitution for its power, and stay within it's limits to uphold the rule of law in this nation. Maybe the liberals in Congress will learn a few things from this reading and stop exceeding their delegated powers limited by the Constitution.

"Lady GaGa" Should Make You Sick

In this day and age you can almost expect anyone coming out of Hollywood to be a braindead liberal who blindly follows the culture of corruption associated with mass entertainment. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that "Lady GaGa" fits into this group of bought and paid for pawns of the entertainment elite.

First of all, just looking at her and the way this "woman" is dressed takes away all of her credibility to speak on any intellectual level in my opinion. I'm not going go down the line and correct her flawed arguments because it's the same amnesty argument we hear from liberals all the time. I will say that I will never, ever support this woman in any way. I will work against her and her agenda that causes her followers blindly follow her madness and then espouse the same liberalism.

We are a country with borders Ms. GaGa. In fact, the only way you can have a nation is to have borders. This will not change and us Americans will not let you change it. America, love it or leave it.

Why Can't All of Our Politicans Be Like Dale?

Sort of old news, but if you haven't seen the video it's a good one. We need more politicians like Dale and we need to throw out ones like Nancy Pelosi.
