We all knew it was coming... Holder has announced that the Obama administration will reinstate the "Assault Weapon" ban... one of the reasons is because of "Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have resembled small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades,"

While that is probably true, they aren't getting them "legally" from the USA since automatic weapons have been illegal in the USA without a special license since the 1930s. The "Assault Weapon" ban makes the sale of semi-automatic weapons illegal, and has nothing to do with Mexico's problem.

Various black leaders are up in arms over a political cartoon combining the stories of the chimp that went "crazy" and the stimulus package...

here is the cartoon:

Since Obama didnt write the last stimulus bill, Im not sure how you can make the connection, unless you are a coward and just want to stir up racial tensions ... Thank you for proving my previous point "Rev" Sharpton

Our new Attorney General (the first Black in American history, under the first black president in American history), says that Americans are cowards when it comes to discussing race relations.

Is he referring to the ridicule that Bill Cosby got when he said that blacks need to take more responsibility for their own actions? Is he referring to the times someone points out issues that blacks and their leaders have concerning crime, poverty & welfare that they are shouted down as racists? Or is he referring to any time a black person disagrees with the Democratic Party and allies with the Republicans they are labeled "Uncle Toms"?

There are many things we can learn about ourselves & our relationship with God from the pets he has provided for us.  

God wants us to obey him, but with a joyful heart. He wants us to love him and to trust him. He wants us to work hard and he wants us to play hard. Instead we ignore him, do our own thing, and only come to him if we want something.

 

He said passage would mark "the first step on the long road to recovery."

It will be a lot longer thanks to this "stimulus" bill.

 according to this article on the "Stimulus" package...

Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system [...] the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.

"The bar that we set is the highest that any administration in the country has ever set." - Robert Gibbs, Press Secretary

It doesn't matter how high you set the bar or what rules you implement if you are going to ignore them, Mr. President.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

20 years seems like a long time, but it also seems like yesterday.

20 years ago, on a cold icy February afternoon, I made a commitment to another person that she would be the only one for me, “til death do us part”.

Through those years there has been some heartaches, trials, arguments & strife, yet it has only been a small part of our lives as the rest of the time has been filled with love, happiness, laughter, and friendship. Our relationship has lasted long past the ones of those that said we would fail. I’m so grateful to God, that he has placed her in my life.

So, happy anniversary, I love you more now than then, and not only do I want you to know this, I want everyone else to know it as well.
