			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Says <a href="http://clintfiore.blogspot.com/2011/01/tragic-deaths-in-america-every-single.html">Clint Fiore</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
It&#8217;s easy to watch the hot story of any particular moment of whichever tragedy has captured the media&#8217;s spotlight and be misguided into out of proportion emotional responses.</p>
<p>42 People are murdered, each day<br />
6 People are murdered by illegal immigrants, each day<br />
0.29 People are murdered each day in &#8216;mass shootings&#8217; involving 4 or more victims<br />
0.08 People are murdered each day with &#8216;assault rifles&#8217;<br />
102 People die in traffic accidents, each day<br />
32 People are killed in alcohol related traffic accidents, each day<br />
2.8 People are killed each day in total plane crashes<br />
0.007 People are killed each day in terrorism related plane crashes (including 9/11/01 in a 10 year average, the rate is zero if you exclude 9/11)<br />
95 People commit suicide, each day<br />
3 People are killed in firearm-related accidents, each day<br />
0.38 People under the age of 15 are killed in firearm related accidents, each day<br />
338 People die total from unintentional injuries, each day<br />
62 People die from unintentional falls, each day<br />
82 People die from unintentional poisoning, each day<br />
107 People die each day from hospital mistakes (not counting infections)<br />
219 People die each day from infections in hospitals<br />
290 People die each day from non-error adverse reactions to medications<br />
4,000 People under the age of 1 are killed before they are born, each day</p>
<p>You can never legislate your way to complete safety in a society without completely losing freedom and liberty. I value liberty more highly than safety. However, there is a proper place for wise and prudent legislation to reduce un-necessary deaths as long as it fits within our Constitutional model of limited government. Knowing the current numbers simply helps you put your efforts towards improving public safety where they are logically most needed.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Most of the numbers came from the CDC government website.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The media has fallen over themselves saying that Tuscon shooter Jared Loughner obtained his Glock 19 legally, so therefore to make sure this doesn&#8217;t happen again we need more laws.  The assumption is that criminals actually obey laws.</p>
<p>But before anyone can legally purchase a firearm you must fill out and sign a sworn document called the ATF Form 4473.  Then you have to show a picture ID, and the gun dealer calls the National Instant Criminal System (NICS) to see if you&#8217;re a bad guy.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s look at Question 11e on ATF Form 4473:  &#8220;Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, or narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?  [Yes/No]&#8220;.  Loughner was described as a “pothead” and was rejected by the US Army because of his admitted marijuana addiction.  If he answered &#8220;Yes&#8221; the store wouldn&#8217;t have sold the firearm.  So Loughner had to answer &#8220;No&#8221; &#8230; which means he committed a felony, and a felon cannot purchase a firearm.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m getting at is that (1) there are laws already in place to stop Tuscon-like shootings, (2) criminals do not obey laws no matter what the law says or threatens, (3) any new law would not have stopped Loughner in any meaningful way.</p>
<p>Exactly what would have been the outcome if Congress had passed a bushel basket of gun restrictions last year?  Probably very little difference.  Therefore what real benefit would any number of new gun laws have?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Saturday there was a shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), and a federal judge that left six dead, including the judge, and 14 wounded.  The shooter was a lunatic named Jared Loughner.</p>
<p>Within hours of the shooting several media outlets and liberal elites are bemoaning the Glock 19, the firearm used in the shooting, forgetting to acknowledge that the G19 is used in more law enforcement offices than practically any other firearm.</p>
<p>Many media outlets are practically refusing to mention Jared Loughner, preferring instead to blame the Tea Party, guns, the NRA, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, any any other &#8220;right of center&#8221; Progressive target.  I will not link to them as I do not want to send them any traffic.</p>
<p>The knee-jerkers are also coming out from under their rocks.  Rep. Peter King, a Republican from New York, is planning to introduce legislation that would make it illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a government official.  .. sigh ..  If this proposed law were really that good, then why not make it &#8220;&#8230; within 1,000 feet of any human&#8221;?  Or is the implication that government officials are &#8220;more equal&#8221; than the great unwashed?  This is why I don&#8217;t support the Republicans, because their ranks are just as filthy as the Democrats.</p>
<p>Folks let me go on record here:<br />
- I do not advocate an otherthrow of the government, just a re-structuring to be more in line of what this country was founded on.<br />
- I do not advocate violence against any non-violent person, just immediate and effective violence against those that would violence to me or my family.<br />
- The fuse is there, and it&#8217;s been there for awhile, but it will be the Progressives-Liberals-Socialists that light the fuse.  And it&#8217;s because of that that I keep my powder dry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Via <a href="http://www.aier.org/research/briefs/1826-the-long-goodbye-the-declining-purchasing-power-of-the-dollar">American Institute for Economic Research</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
The purchasing power of the dollar in 1913, when the chart above begins, was close to what it was in the 1830s. As long as we were still on a gold standard (up to 1933), it was almost as though an external force was drawing the value of the dollar back toward that adjusted value. </p>
<p>The Great Depression and the policy tools used to fight it severed the domestic link of the dollar to gold. The external trade deficits of the United States during the 1960s caused the final rupture of the international link to gold in August 1971. </p>
<p>The rate of decline in the purchasing power of the dollar tended to level off in the 1980s, but a long, slow, cumulatively corrosive decline has continued to the present, with the consequence that a dollar today would buy one less than a nickel’s worth of goods and services in Woodrow Wilson’s time.   </p>
<p>The accompanying graph is at least some evidence that the experiment of a Federal Reserve System (created in 1913) with no explicit link to gold, and no effective external check on its activities, has failed the public’s interest.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All of the anti-gun groups go out of their way to convince people that they&#8217;re not actually against personal ownership of guns, just that the country needs &#8220;common sense&#8221; guns laws to keep everyone safe.  But what are these &#8220;common sense&#8221; laws that groups like the Brady Bunch always talk about but rarely explain, via <a href="http://www.examiner.com/gun-rights-in-national/just-what-does-someone-have-to-do-for-abc-to-consider-him-anti-gun">David Codrea</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Based on their opposition to <em>Heller</em>, they don’t think you have an individual right to keep and bear arms.</li>
<li>Based on their opposition to <em>McDonald</em>, they want states and cities to have free rein infringing those rights they don’t think you have.</li>
<li>They want to ban private sales.</li>
<li>They want to enforce “No Gun Zones,” places where only criminals can carry guns.</li>
<li>They’re against concealed carry.</li>
<li>They’re against open carry.</li>
<li>They’re against car carry.</li>
<li>They’re against have guns ready to deploy in home defense.</li>
<li>They’re against Castle Doctrine.</li>
<li>They’re against “stand your ground” laws.</li>
<li>They want to ban semi autos.</li>
<li>They want to ban inexpensive guns.</li>
<li>They want to ban .50 cals.</li>
<li>They want to ban lead ammunition.</li>
<li>They want to register guns and create a national database.</li>
<li>They want to require microstamping.</li>
<li>They want to sue gun manufacturers.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sorry, but to me these &#8220;common sense&#8221; laws appear to border on draconian gun prohibition.</p>
<p>Bottom line: if the Brady Bunch, and groups like them, really want to prevent me from easily obtaining guns, or try to prevent me from legally carrying a gun in public, then I have but two words for them:  ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Says x:</p>
<blockquote><p>
They fought to save a life, and now they say they’ll fight the fine.</p>
<p>It all revolves around the rescue of a deer trapped in icy water Thursday night.</p>
<p>Strangers banded together to pull a deer out of the freezing water of the Patapsco River on Thursday night.</p>
<p>“We seen the deer going under,” said Khalil Abusakran. “It couldn’t maintain.  It was starting to freeze, and it was really getting bad.”</p>
<p>Abusakran brought a raft, and Jim Hart joined him.</p>
<p>“We had oars and shovels to break the ice, for the deer to get out,” Abusakran said.</p>
<p>But in the excited aftermath of the rescue, a natural resources police officer on the scene wrote both men a ticket.</p>
<p>“And he didn’t say anything,” Jim Hart said. “We went in and out of the water numerous times.  He didn’t stop us at all.”</p>
<p>They say they were ticketed for not wearing life vests, although both are over the age for mandatory use of flotation devices.
</p></blockquote>
<p>WTF?  The heroes each got $90 fines because they weren&#8217;t wearing life jackets while trying to save a deer from freezong/drowning, and doing so while a government agent sat and watched everything and did nothing but stuff his finger up his own butt?</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t we wage a bloody war years ago with a government that acted like jerks and slapped us around whenever they liked?  Didn&#8217;t we win that war?  Do they want another war?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The picture below shows Raymeica Kelly holding up two power bills.  Ms. Kelly is angry that she couldn&#8217;t get the taxpayers to pay her electric bills.  She says she doesn&#8217;t have the money to pay her bills and is demanding that you and I pay them for her.</p>
<p>Notice anything odd about the photo?</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.commonfolkusingcommonsense.com/pics/stuff/raymeicakelly.jpg" border="0" width="573" height="394" alt="x" /></p>
<p>Notice the big screen TV?  Probably cost a couple thousand dollars.</p>
<p>Notice the Xbox game system?  That plus the games probably cost a couple hundred dollars.</p>
<p>Apparently Ms. Kelly can afford to buy big screen TVs and video game systems, but since she spent all her money on those trinkets she now wants you and I to pay her electric bills &#8230; because that TV and gaming system require large amounts of electricity.</p>
<p>Says <a href="http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2010/12/2010-the-year-of-the-moocher.html">Neal Boortz</a>:  &#8220;Are you seeing my point here, folks? I am just so sick to damn death of these entitlement whores, these moochers who believe that the money that you worked for somehow belongs to them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ayn Rand, in &#8220;Atlas Shrugged&#8221;, described the American population as composed of three classes:</p>
<p>- &#8220;Moochers&#8221; demand others&#8217; earnings on behalf of the needy and those unable/unwilling to earn themselves, however, they curse the producers who make that help possible and are jealous and resentful of the talented on whom they depend.<br />
- &#8220;Looters&#8221; confiscate others&#8217; earnings by force (&#8220;at the point of a gun&#8221;) and include government officials, whose demands are backed by the implicit threat of force. The looters are proponents of high taxation, big labor, government ownership, government spending, government planning, regulation, and redistribution.<br />
- &#8220;Producers&#8221; actually produce the goods and/or services that the rest of the population wants.</p>
<p>We really need to turn around this attitude of so many people that they honestly believe something you own is somehow &#8220;owed&#8221; to them because of reasons only they are able to define.  We also need to make unemployed all the professional politicians that enable, empower, and pander to this class of person.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t tread on me.  I am armed, and I&#8217;m getting really pissed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WONDERFUL news via <a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20101219/D9K72PPG0.html">MyWay.com</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
The population continues to shift from Democratic-leaning Rust Belt states to Republican-leaning Sun Belt states, a trend the Census Bureau will detail in its once-a-decade report to the president. Political clout shifts, too, because the nation must reapportion the 435 House districts to make them roughly equal in population, based on the latest census figures.</p>
<p>November&#8217;s elections put Republicans in control of dozens of state legislatures and governorships, just as states prepare to redraw their congressional and legislative district maps. It&#8217;s often a brutally partisan process, and Republicans&#8217; control in those states will enable them to create new districts to their liking.</p>
<p>The combination of population shifts and the recent election results could make Obama&#8217;s re-election campaign more difficult. Each House seat represents an electoral vote in the presidential election process, giving more weight to states Obama probably will lose in 2012. The states he carried in 2008 are projected to lose, on balance, six electoral votes to states that his GOP challenger, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, won. That sets a higher bar for Obama before his re-election campaign even starts.</p>
<p>&#8220;The way the maps have shifted have made Obama&#8217;s route to success much more difficult,&#8221; said Republican Party spokesman Doug Heye. He said the GOP takeover of several state governments on the eve of redistricting efforts was &#8220;a dramatic shift.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m still awaiting word that, due to a virus that escaped a government lab, all Progressives have morphed into zombies and We The People are having a great time expending round after round of ammunition.
