The Obama administration is telegraphing the message that a country’s own Supreme Court’s rulings mean nothing at all.

U.S. moves toward formal cut off of aid to Honduras

I knew it was too good to be true.

The State Department of the US is still recommending the ouster of Zelaya in Honduras to be officially recognized as a military coup. The only reason they have not, and not imposed further sanctions on Honduras, is because of CAFTA of which Honduras is a part. If Honduras is removed from CAFTA, then our gov't, along with seemingly the rest of the world, will isolate the tiny country and impose heavy handed sanctions on them...

Damn socialists.




Viva Honduras!

Stay strong!

The Hondurans have shown great cahones so far. In fact the majority of them seem to embody the ideal of liberty.

Die on your feet or live on your knees...so far, they've not knelt to anyone, least of all the 'annointed one'

Die with your boots on!

Phoenix AR SNAFU update 2....

Just watched this video from Channel 12 News.
Kudos to the Phoenix PD and the Mayor of Phoenix for supporting these patriots!

Phoenix AR SNAFU Update

H/T: Ace of Spades HQ

Meet Chris B.

A group of Gunny-folks decided to show their patriotism by showing up armed. Peaceful of course. But armed. They called the Phoenix PD the night before and arrived with a Phoenix PD Liason, just to cover their butt. The Guy with the AR had a loaded magazine in his back pocket, but the AR was actually not loaded during the event. The group contained 6 people. 5 were packing pistols that were loaded, but the guy with the AR was unloaded. The reason being, they were worried some anti-gunny nitwit might try and grab the rifle from them and get themselves or someone else hurt. Sounds reasonable enough, especially since they were simply making a statement, not intending to go on a damn shooting spree as the media might like you to think.

You can see the comment thread at AZshooting.com here.

make sure you follow the thread down so you can read what the folks that were actually there and carrying have to say. You can also see some good pics from the event, of which the one above was taken. These guys deserve our support. Patriots all.

Keep your powder dry...

...and die with your boots on...

Exercising your 2nd Amendment right may get you on TV...

The internet is abuzz this morning with reports of the man carrying an AR-15 (loaded of course) to an anti-Obama rally in Phoenix, AZ.

Well, initially Iwa sof mixed emotions about the situation and I discussed this with my coworker a bit. I say Kudos to the gentleman who appeared on the news with an AR strapped to his back.

Even in an open-carry state like AZ it's kinda ballsy to attend a political event, especially one in which the president is in attendance.

But he didn't do anything wrong. That's the bottom line. In fact, what the leftists in this country need to understand is that the Healthcare "reform" bill is the last straw. We will not continue to be bullied by those who are there to serve our interests...that being liberty. Safeguarding or legal freedoms. We're done. we don't want anymore nanny-state nonsense. I watched the CNN coverage of this situation and it's obvious that these guys missed the whole point.

Rick Sanchez of CNN asks: "Just because you can do something, does that mean you should?"

Of course this was supposed to be a rhetorical question. One most are familiar with.

Well, I have to respond with this...Under the circumstances, I am quite sure we should.

This is way beyond a debate over Healthcare reform. We have very good reason not to trust the gov't, especially concerning this healthcare initiative, because let's face it folks, this isn't about healthcare reform. It quite simply isn't. If it were, there would have been a more open debate about this to begin with instead of them trying to ram some piece of garbage that only creates more gov't control over us. The people got pissed and made a big enough stink that the congresscritters and TOTUS realized, they were about to step on their pee-pee.

They made a pretense of holding townhalls in their respective districts to hear our grievances and questions...when really all they wanted to do was "sell" us on their plan. They had no intention of listening to us. And they haven't. In fact the sheer arrogance and condescension evidenced by our supposed representitives is appalling. They really honestly believe they know better. That they are somehow priveleged with superior wisdom and intellect than the the rest of us.

The people are pissed. And the damn state media, which is pretty much every major outlet besides FOX...and sometimes even they screw it up too, continues to obfuscate the issue.

You see, since it's healthcare, and who really wants to think there's some poor victim of private insurance that could have been saved if there were safeguards or checks and balances in place to keep an insurance company from dropping a patient with cancer halfway through treatment...resulting in a horrible death? Noone really wants that to happen. But we've already been shown...with evidence that TOTUS and his cronies want a single payer system...ala Gov't run health insurance. yeah...they now they can't get it done right away, but they need to put things in place so we can shift over to the system they want for us. Sorry, I'm not buying the lies they're cooking up now to defend their position.

I believe there needs to be reform yes. some of the stories I'm hearing are criminal. yet they happen. Something needs to give. But not a public insurance option. They've screwed up medicare/medicaid and now they want us to be ok with more gov't control? no thanks, I'd rather die a horrible death than deal with that freakin mess.

Well...I've gone off on a tangent, but ot entirely so... It's all about freedom people. it's not about healthcare. The TOTUS agenda isn't about taking care of you, it's about control. It's always been about control. When true Patriots stand up to wannabe tyrants, that is a good sign. When you exercise your rights, the ones guaranteed by our constitution especially in defiance of the agenda of those who wish to take away those freedoms...you're doin the right thing.

As an aside, the gentleman who was being interviewed by Rick Sanchez on CNN, he was a correspondent, mentioned he saw a different man with an AR-15 than the one on the video so at least 2 patriots showed their colors in Phoenix. There were at least a dozen that were openly carrying pistols as well. Kudos brothers!

Just for the record. The gentleman in the video with the AR-15 (not an assault weapon) was a black man. So much for the whole white, right and uptight stereotype. In your eye you darn leftists! We're all Americans regardless of color. And we know what freedom means. And we won't back down!

That's my rant.

Keep your powder dry Patriots!

Personally I'm geting tired of listening to the damn socialist jokers, but when POTUS says this:

While the president says he favors a bipartisan approach, he has also said it may ultimately be necessary for Democrats to produce a bill more to their own liking.

Time to sit up and pay attention. Sounds like a threat to me. A veiled and very subtle one to the sheeple, but it screams to me of the "our way or else!"

Those of us who were concerned about the election last year apparently had well-grounded fears. And there's still 3 and half years to go....

Keep your powder dry and die with your boots on....

I'm jus' sayin'.

Honduras Has Won

H/T: Fausta

In a welcome turn of events, the US has changed their official position on Honduras.
Took them awhile, but at least they came around. They've called Zelaya's actions provocative and have pointedly not called on the Honduran Gov't to reinstate Mel Zelaya.

Although there are many other soft commie gov'ts still calling for his return, we've left that comapany and are now on the right side of this situation.

Honduras has won. They have stood up to the world and in my humble opinion have shamed us into doing the right thing. At least we stepped up to the plate and are doing the right thing.

From Fausta:

• The Obama administration has backed away from its call to restore ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to power and instead put the onus on him for taking “provocative actions” that polarized his country and led to his overthrow on June 28.The new position was contained in a letter this week to Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., that also rejected calls by some of Zelaya’s backers to impose harsh economic sanctions against Honduras.While condemning the ouster, the letter pointedly failed to call for Zelaya’s return.

Investor's Business Daily:

Diplomacy: In a quiet victory for a tiny democracy, U.S. buttinskies have stopped trying to restore a dictator to power in South America. Tiny Honduras is winning its fight for freedom.

There is hope yet for our friends in Honduras.

....

My Freaking Head is about to Explode...

Let's see, first we confirm Sotomayor "La Raza" racist judge tot he supreme court bench. Yeah, I am not surprised, we knew it was coming, but it still chaps my ass.

Now we've officially declared the war on terror overwith. Now we're calling it the War on Al-Qaeda...jeez...semantics and more confuzzling of the idiots that don't get the whole Islamonazi thing. Good job US Gov! /snark on.

We're playing tiptoe through the freakin tulips with Russia.

The White House is actively compiling data with the help of the kool-aid drinkers on anyone critical of the Obamacare debacle.

Our Congresscritters and the MSM are actively portraying a legitimate grassroots movement to be heard as a bunch of paid shills for big medicine and insurance companies, and the rest of us that may not be on the payroll are Nazis wearing swastikas....

Oh let's not forget that Hillary our illustrious secretary of state is supporting the idea we join the International court to try our Troops for international warcrimes...that's gonna go over well. not.

Oh yeah, we're conducting surveillance on the west bank to make sure those darn Joos aren't getting uppity again. WTF? like it's any of our freakin business anyways.

On the upside, a Human rights group has resoundingly defended Israel against hamas, stating that the Rocket attacks...which are unguided and indiscriminate are clear violations of the Geneva Convention and are warcrimes, as opposed to the Joos who actually warned the populace where they were gonna bomb and took great pains to avoid civilian casualties...I applaud them for saying this, but I doubt it will do any good. The damn Lefties here and in Europe seem to be in love with the Islamofascists. Talk about a marriage of convenience. It won't prove so convenient if Hamas and Hizbollah get their way. I doubt they'll show any appreciation for groups like "Queers for Palestine"...I'm jus' sayin'.

I think I'm about done for a couple of days. If I stay off the interwebs for a couple of days, maybe I'll be able to digest all this BS and actually write something insightful...maybe.

Anywho fellow patriots...

Keep your powder dry...

And Die with your boots on...
