Concealed Carry Over State Lines Coming?
I hope it isn't plagrism, but I'm giving credit to the original author, but I agree with this outlook. It is truly an unmovable force hitting an unstoppable object. States Rights, or 2nd Amendment on a Federal level?via Jazz Shaw @ The Moderate Voice...

Concealed Carry Over State Lines Coming?
The Washington Post reports a glimmer of hope for 2nd amendment supporters this week, as several moderate Democrats may be lining up with the GOP to back a provision which would ensure the rights of gun owners in states with permissive laws when they travel across state lines.
Senate Democrats are scrambling to defeat a Republican-backed provision that would allow gun owners to carry their weapons across state lines, overriding the stricter laws of many jurisdictions and giving preference to states with looser standards.
Critics, including police organizations, big-city mayors and gun-victims groups, decried the legislation as creating “a new national lowest common denominator” for ownership of firearms. But twice this year, Republicans have succeeded in rolling back restrictions on guns with substantial backing from moderate Democrats, many newly elected from Western states with strong Second Amendment traditions.
I will confess that, even as an avid supporter of gun rights, this approach gives me pause. It’s one of those cases of two perfectly valid arguments running head to head against each other. The individual states need to be able to determine their own affairs as much as possible, but the Doctrine of Incorporation has been frustrating us for so long that it can drive one to desperation. Second amendment rights most certainly should, in my never very humble opinion, be considered fundamental rights which all states have to recognize. From that perspective, allowing owners to have their rights “travel with them” while on the road is an attractive idea.
On the other hand, the law is the law, and just because you can carry your weapon into a bar in Texas doesn’t mean that you should be able to drive to New York City, sit down in a bar and order a beer with your 9mm in your pocket. I realize this proposal is more for the person who is on the road and in the process of traveling, but questions such as that are inevitable and come along as part of the discussion.
The political ramifications may be far more interesting, though. A number of junior Democrats, as noted in the article, are getting increasingly nervous as 2010 approaches and the popularity of both the Obama administration and the Democratic majority’s domestic agenda continue to slide. In western states, voting against something like this could be the final straw on the camel’s back which sends their seat back to the Republicans.
I believe I would like to see such a proposal put in place, challenged in the courts and sent up the line for a final resolution. It might clarify things a bit more for us in the future.

Groves' appointment as Census Chief only helps Liberals and Obamaessiah
He seems like an average government know-nothing from the outside, but his past shows far more stupidity than one could imagine (guess working with ACORN will be easy).
in '90, GHWB asked him to lead up the Census, which of course he took in stride. Except for the fact that he was all for calculated numbers to fill in the blanks. He devised statistics that utilized "fuzzy math" when it came to illegals and homeless Americans...greatly benefitting the Democrats.
the Commerce Department wanted nothing of it, when, using his model, determined would add over 5 million Americans to the census -- quite a big gap, and more than enough to swing an election (or two, or three, or four, on any level).
Now with the current tyrants in office, they've stated they don't want African-Americans and Hispanics to be "disenfranchised" (read: legally counted correctly), this puts even more stress on our already controversy filled census.
I end this post with how I end many. WAKE UP AMERICA! PLEASE! Call your Congresspeople and tell them you're tired of it. Better yet FIGHT BACK.
2010 may be out last chance, before redistricting and forced affirmitive action take this country down to the bottom of hell.
Sotomayer: Pseudo-Patriot, Quasi-American
"Personal experiences affect the facts that judges choose to see."
" With my academic achievement in high school I was accepted rather readily at Princeton and equally as fast at Yale, but my test scores were not comparable to that of my classmates. And that's been shown by statistics, there are reasons for that - there are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action to try to balance out those effects. "
Who mouthed off these wonders? Why, Sonia Sotomayer, NoBama's big push for the SCOTUS. Who else would you expect the tyrant to pick? None other than one just as racist as his wife and as deceitful as himself.
Here we are, looking down the barrel of someone as anti-2nd amendment, anti-equality, and anti-American as possible. She will seem to be "standing on the shoulders of her people" and claims she is "an ordinary woman with extraordinary oppurtunities", but let's cut the chase. She's a crook, whose had more cases overturned than you can flip a hat at.
She said white firefighters weren't being discriminated against when they were told they weren't hired because they were white. Talk about reverse racism, if it was "her people" as she called her race, then this case would be totally different.
Case in point, call your Congressmen/women. Raise hell. If they appoint her, fire them.
Bringing me back to the latest issue: FIRE CONGRESS IN 2010! Let's put some fire under our "lawmakers" and get some patriots in office!

We The People
Sorry that it’s been a few days without posting anything, but I’ve been working and I finally have a day off and some free time, so I will be posting a few things throughout today, so keep up with us for today. It’s just pent up anger and nothing to do today to stop me from writing about it. Before I get to the things I planned to talk about, I wanted to talk about something a writer said in an article that I stumbled across. He said that he agreed with Ray McBerry on a lot of issues, but says he would never win. Well, that is how we have people like Obama, Congress, Purdue, and Governors all around the country in office. We never vote for the person that we agree with, we vote for who we think everyone else will vote for.
I have been seeing and hearing more and more people claim “I like him, but he would never win”. People need to stop voting for who we think will win and start voting for those that believe in the same values as we do. If we all stop saying “he won’t ever win” and say “I’m voting for what I believe in”, then we will quickly see Oxendine’s numbers drop while McBerry’s increase. We control our future. We can sit back and do nothing, or we can kick out these career politicians and get real people into our government. How can it be WE THE PEOPLE, if WE aren’t in there? It’s more like WE THE POLITICIANS, and it’s only more fuel to the fire for a new Revolution. Vote for liberty. Vote for freedom. Vote for values.
And if you’re reading this thinking we just need a different party, well look where that got America in a matter of months. We won’t ever “CHANGE” anything by voting a different party. The parties are not our parties anymore. They do not represent us anymore. We can change that by voting for new candidates who know what it’s like to be in the everyday position. Vote for candidates who know what the recession really feels like and is affected by unconstitutional bills, such as these bailouts and Cap-and-Trade. What do these career politicians with their hundreds of thousands (and sometimes millions) of dollars know what it’s really like to suffer through this economy.
Obama was not Change. McCain was not Change. For the fellow Georgians reading, Purdue was not Change. Oxendine is not Change. Handel is not Change. If you want Change, wipe the slate clean. Do not vote for any incumbents. Nominate new candidates that know our struggles and know what WE THE PEOPLE want. Obama, McCain, Purdue, Oxendine, and Handel… they are no longer part of the majority. Americans – Take back your Country. Georgians – Take back your State! In 2010, wipe the slate clean. Research the candidates and read into their issues and values. New party nominees in July 2010, and then vote them in less than 4 months later on November 2, 2010. Vote for Georgia First with Ray McBerry in 2010. Do not vote for any incumbent congressmen, senators, or governors that no longer represent WE THE PEOPLE.
If you want this Country to change, remove the incumbents and stay away from the career politicians. If you want this State to change, vote Ray McBerry and put Georgia First.
You decide who is for the people and who is for themselves.
John Oxendine has held public office since 1994 and has run FOUR statewide campaigns but he has yet to bring any kind of “Change” to the People of Georgia.
Oxendine – WE THE POLITICIANS
“Our day requires a governor who will dare to defy the federal bureaucrats and say plainly, “Get the hell out of our business; and leave my people alone.” No other candidate for governor will take this stand… I will.”
Ray McBerry – WE THE PEOPLE

We don't need a new party -- we need new politicians!
Why add another bunch of crooks to the mix? We've got good folks in each party that care about liberty, freedom, and the rights of the states and their people.
Let's use what we got. Let's fire Senate, and House, and start over. Get our minds around real candidates. Ray McBerry is a good example. So is Ron Paul, and anyone else that respects the power of the people through thought instead of handouts. Politicians who are concerned with the problems of the State and its citizens instead of shaking hands with those out to destroy us.
Ronald Reagan connected with the people with straight talk and a straight shooting attitude. As has McBerry and Paul, who are both having excellent grassroots campaigns brewing.
Get McBerry in GA. Paul out of Texas and into the White House, and we'll be able to start moving towards the goal of freedom, liberty, and a sound financial system, economy. Throw in national security and not being walked on by repeated missile tests.
Once again....wake up, folks! Let's motivate our friends, family, colleagues, and ourselves!
