Obama – Manchin Attack on 2nd Amendment Fails

2nd amendment, gun control, guns, Manchin, Obama, Senate

Thankfully the Senate stopped Joe Manchin’s attack on our 2nd Amendment rights. The Manchin-Toomey amendment was defeated by a vote of 54-46. Manchin put a lot of personal capital in this bill. He saw it as a way to elevate himself to the national stage. I’m sure he believes he could be President one day and this was dress rehearsal. The price paid for this spotlight was the selling out of his principles and acting against the voters who got him elected.

Manchin tried to assure West Virginians that this was just common sense and did not erode gun rights. What he did not tell you is that our Attorney General, a man who has no regard for laws that he disagrees with or the Constitution would have new powers of regulations over guns. That is the hidden danger of most bills originating from the left. The question is “Will the voters hold him accountable”?

The Iron Lady will be Missed

Iron Lady, leader, Prime Minister, Ronald Reagan, Thatcher

maggie One of the world’s greatest leaders died Monday, April 8, 2013. The “Iron Lady”, former British Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher, died of a stroke at age 87.. Her passing reminds us just how devoid our time is of real leaders. Rather our politicians are appeasers who throw money at the masses to get re-elected. No room for principles today.

 

Following are some of the Prime Minister’s best quotes. My favorites are at the top.

 

“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”

“To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukemia with leeches.”

“To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.”

“There is no such thing as Society. There are individual men and women, and there are families.”

“Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.”

“We want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state.”

“Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people’s money. It’s quite a characteristic of them.”

“I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air.”

“I am not a consensus politician. I’m a conviction politician.”

“Defeat — I do not know the meaning of the word!”

“If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.”

“I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.”

“To wear your heart on your sleeve isn’t a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it functions best.”

“It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.”

“I’ve got a woman’s ability to stick to a job and get on with it when everyone else walks off and leaves it.”

“I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.”

“If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn’t swim.”

“You need quite good shock absorbers and a sense of humor to be the Prime Minister’s child.”

“I don’t mind how much my ministers talk, as long as they do what I say.”

Timely Advice

"Senator, my belief is we have to stay focused on a military that is so lethal that on the battle field it will be the enemy's longest day & worst day when they run into that force," - General James "Mad-Dog" Mattis

“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.” — H.L. Menken

"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."

Thomas Jefferson

"The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife."

Teddy Roosevelt

An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation.
John Marshall, McCullough v. Maryland, 1819

Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
Ronald Reagan
