Hat tip to Jammiewearingfool for this post.

Zogby performed a poll asking the following questions. Take answer the questions and then click the link below them to see what the results are.

I am going to give you a word of advice, read the questions carefully before you answer.

1) Mandatory licensing of professional services increases the prices of those services.

2) Overall, the standard of living is higher today than it was 30 years ago.

3) Rent control leads to housing shortages.

4) A company with the largest market share is a monopoly .

5) Third World workers working for American companies overseas are being exploited.

6) Free trade leads to unemployment.

7) Minimum wage laws raise unemployment.

The article is about party affiliation and their understanding of economics. Now, it has always been my contention that liberals just have zero clue about anything, but at least this poll shows that when it comes to economics that statement is pretty true.

Libs jumping the Gun cuz the puppet master said dance

Queen of the Dirty Libs posted a comment on the health reform post stating that Fox News was not a news organization and the Huffinton Post had a video to prove it. In addition, Glenn Beck said he was an entertainer so that proves it too.

Glenn Beck has always stated he was an entertainer and not a politician. I would argue he is a political commentator, but if Bill Maher and they guys on comedy central can call themselves entertainers then Beck can too.

Here is what was reported by the renouned highly respected and completely honest Huffington post, I just puked a little in my mouth. This has all the libs licking their chops ready to take a bite out of Fox News. Spit it out libs, again you all saw dinner but forgot who was cooking.

Here is Bill O'Reilly's rebuttle.



Now if you want to play the gotchya game, Bill did say NEVER. But I think that is splitting hairs and obviously not going to get you far in this arguement.

So you libs out there, I applaud you for keeping people honest. I have no problem with that, but make sure you keep your facts straight. It took me approx 5 minutes to find information disproving the Huffington Post claim. Is it to much to ask that you verify your sources before you start blasting out false information. Some day you really will have something important to say and no one will pay you any attention.

No Guns in the Library

I read this article posted by The War on Guns which tells about a law abiding citizen who went to the library armed with a pistol on his hip. He caused no trouble, did want he went there to do, and left. BORING!?!?!?! Apparently not, the fact this man had the audacity to come into a library armed caused such a ruckus that Library Director, Larry "I'm a Sheep" Frank, put into motion steps to get signs that say no guns allowed.

This story, while mundane and boring, brings so many anger inducing thoughts.

• Signs do not prevent crime or stop bad guys/gals!
• Signs let bad guys know good guys are unarmed!
  
• How does a law abiding citizen cause such an uproar?
• This is the reason concealed carry is so important.
  
• The sheepdog scares the sheep if he walks around with his teeth showing.

Those would be the headers of most of my thoughts. I will spare you the listing of my subheadings and just get down to the meat.

A sign doesn't do a damn thing. Just as laws are made to be broken; signs are made to be ignored. A sign does announce that there is a great chance that 99.99% of the people obeyed it so you can feel free to go do bad guy stuff. This story also shows that anyone with a gun is scary and it demonstrates the importance of keeping your firearm concealed. It makes the armed person less worried of what people think and it allows the sheep to keep grazing undisturbed.

Sick Thought or Teaching Moment?:

I would like to walk into a library, restaurant, or some other event with no security but a sign that doesn't allow individuals to bring their own security. I would then like to pull out a bright orange fake gun, something obvious, and here is the speech I would give:

A lot of you are dead!!! The ones who would have made it out alive would have had to do it while climbing over dead bodies. I walked by that sign with this gun and it did nothing to try and stop me. I was going to go shoot up the place across the street but it didn't have a sign so I was worried there might be someone with a gun over there. I figured in this place with a no gun sign only criminals would be carrying a firearm. So I came here where I know I can take at least 25% of you with me before I commit suicide because I am a depressed loser who blames all of you for my lack of a life. I got my idea after watching that guy in Pittsburgh who shot up that gym because the women wouldn't go out with him. Have a nice day!!!

I would then walk out and leave everyone to ponder what the hell just happened. I would never do this for the simple fact that I do not know the legal ramifications for such an act and I have no urge to go to jail much less prison. But it would sure be fun to see all the faces and be a fly on the wall afterward.

I am interested in knowing if any of my readers has a valid argument on why it should be illegal to carry a gun anywhere there is not armed security present for your protection? I add that caveat because I understand the need to prevent strangers from carrying guns in certain venues, but all those venues provide armed security, ie: Courts, White house, Congress.

Why I carry a handgun for protection, Vol. 25

Because brutal sociopaths like Vincent Scott, Gary Solomon and Marcus Solomon roam the streets of the metro area where we currently reside. These "men" beat and robbed a man simply because they felt a need to "get out some aggression", the trio apparently told Mesa, Arizona police.The total haul this group of feral parasites on normal society gained from this unprovoked attack on an innocent pedestrian, which left the victim with multiple injuries?

"Fritos, bean dip, M&Ms and a Kit Kat bar".

We certainly hope those tasty snacks were worth the years in prison these scumbags are facing for their senseless act.

No amount of proactive policing could have prevented this assault, and the cops certainly weren't around to interrupt these animals in the middle of carrying out their random, spur of the moment crime. If the victim had been legally armed with a handgun, the odds certainly would have been changed in his favor, and he just might have been able to successfully fend off his attackers before suffering injury.

Tell us again how firearms never benefit polite society at large or are simply of no use to victims of violent crime, Ms. Brady?
