Doctors vs Guns..................

Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is
700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians
per year are

120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician
is
0.171.

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of
Health and Human Services.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now think about this:

Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S.
is
80,000,000.

(Yes, that's 80 million)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths
per year, all age groups,
is
1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths
per gun owner
is
.000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, statistically, doctors are approximately
9,000 times more dangerous than
gun owners.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN,
BUT
Almost everyone has at least one doctor.
This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Please alert your friends
to this
alarming threat.

We must ban doctors
before this gets completely out of hand!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Out of concern for the public at large,
I withheld the statistics on
lawyers
for fear the shock would cause
people to panic and seek medical attention!

INVESTIGATE THOSE ANTI-MOSQUE PEOPLE NOW!!!!!

The Mosque at Ground Zero was elevated to national status plus by President Obama at a Ramadan dinner at the White House last week.

The issue has gone viral in the US since then.

Now, Nancy Pelosi wants to investigate who has made this such a political issue.

Uhhhhh, call the White House, Ms. Pelosi.......read it all here.

Rod Blagojevich guilty of one count

Let's see. After a major Federal trial, the former governor of Illinois is convicted of ONE count??????????

Read it all here.

And now the Fed's are going to retry him?????? Uh, I hope this time they put President O and Rambo on the stand. I have a lot of questions I would ask.

Stay tuned. This ought to be good!!!!

Muslims have right to build Mosque....Christians can't build church

No one less than the President of the United States has waded full depth into the controversy to support Muslims who want to build a new Mosque at Ground Zero. The place where radical muslims killed 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001.

After all the President said "our Founders wanted there to be Freedom of Religion" and we have to preserve that in this case.

Okay, but what about the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church which was destroyed when the twin towers fell Apparantly this Christian church does not have the same rights? The Port Authority which has tripped all over itself to approve of the Mosque and ended talks with the Greek Orthodox Church......no rebuild!!

Really? Read it all here.

We will wait to see what the President says about the rights of this Church, which existed at this site prior to the radical Muslim murder of 3,000 Americans.

Blame the American People.......again.....

The President claims he did not support building the Mosque at Ground Zero. He supported their right to do so.

So he went to great lengths to support something no one was discussing. We know what their rights are. We were discussing the appropriatness of the project.

As reported here,

Pres. Barack Obama’s ringing statement in favor of the Ground Zero mosque had a gaping escape clause: He didn’t necessarily support the mosque.

Not that he bothered to spell that out for his entranced listeners at an iftar dinner at the White House last Friday night, or to those of his supporters who rushed to hail the “finest moment” of his presidency. “Moment” turned out to be the right word. Less than 24 hours later he was telling reporters he hadn’t taken a position on the “wisdom” of the mosque project, only on the organizers’ “right to build a place of worship and community center on private property in lower Manhattan.”

So, all the uproar is our fault because we could not parse his words the way HE was parsing them.

Shame on us!

Deja Vu

Remember way back in 2008 and The Housing Crisis? Well, who can forget! Here it is 2010 and we STILL have a housing crisis......a housing crisis built on bad loans, bad loan policies, and bad political policy that in essence said it is a fundamental right to own a home.

So we put a lot, a whole lot, of people into homes who could not afford them. And we let a lot, a whole lot, of people speculate in real estate who had no business doing so. And who greased the wheels for this? Freddi and Fannie.

So did we learn our lesson from this disastor? Apparantly not, because we are at it again, read it all here.

Faced with the utter failure of its TARP funded mortgage bailout, the Obama administration is now turning to the left’s old stand-in for housing market interference: the government-sponsored entities (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fannie Mae is now working with the National Council of State Housing Agencies to let people buy houses with little or no down payment just like the GSEs did at the height of the housing bubble. And last week, Freddie Mac was also promoting no-down payment loans, this time through an array of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs. All this despite the fact that last week Fannie Mae announced it lost $1.2 billion in the second quarter of this year, and this week Freddie Mac announced a $4.71 billion loss. Both companies were also forced to ask for more Obama bailout cash, including $1.5 billion of your tax dollars for Fannie and another $1.8 billion for Freddie.

No wonder the Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill did nothing about Fannie and Freddie; the Obama administration had every intention of continuing to use them to prop up the housing market. These programs will do nothing but delay the inevitable housing market correction. Instead of letting the market sort out what these homes are really worth, the Obama administration is only prolonging economic hardship by making it harder for new home buyers to afford a moderately priced home and making it harder for those who need to move for work to sell their current homes.

Two Wrong/Bad Policies do not make the Economy Right.

Lies, Lies, and Damnable Lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Part II

House Democrats this week will consider another cut to the Food Stamps program to fund Michelle "Antionette" Obama's “Let’s Move” initative.

Why is Food Stamps taking the cut? Here is the shocker of an answer:

Food stamps have made multiple appearances on the fiscal chopping block because Democrats have few other places to turn to offset the cost of legislation. Read it all here.

So let's see if we have this straight. In a $3.5 trillion Federal Government budget, the only place to find some spare cash is in the Food Stamps budget?

This is a lie. It is cover for something else. It is deception of the worst kind and the typical government use of the weakest to jam home the case for more revenues.

Shameful and dispicable aren't strong enough terms. Maybe EVIL is appropriate.

From the President's Lips: ....Muslim's Rights to Build

August 13, 2010, from Barack Obama:

Friday: 'Let me be clear: As a citizen and as President I believe that Muslims have the same right ... to build a place of worship and a community centre on private property in Lower Manhattan'

That is clear: he supports building a Muslim Mosque on the site where radical Muslims killed 3,000 American citizens.

See any problem with that?

Racial Inflation?

The other day, I posted an article that suggested that as a Nation, we may be suffering from Black Fatigue. See it here.

With all the ethics questions for the Congressional Black Caucus, with the Dept of Justice blind eye to black-on-white crime, to the cries of racism over the TEA Parties, with little real power behind those claims, we may also be witnessing something I am now calling Racial Inflation!

And I define this as this: the more the liberal black institutional lobby plays the Race Card, the less effect it has.

Hence, Racial Inflation!

Build the Mosque he says: Is the President Muslim?

President Barack Obama on Friday endorsed a controversial plan to build a mosque and Islamic center just blocks from Ground Zero in Manhattan, despite the strong objections of conservatives, the ADL and those who lost loved ones in the September 11 attacks.“Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground,” Obama said at a White House dinner celebrating the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. “But let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”

Under the First Amendment, Muslims have the right to worship in this country but that does not give them the right to build where they want and when they want. No other religion has that right either. If anti-abortion Evangelical Christians want to build a church next to an abortion clinic, in all likelyhood they will be denied a building permit to do so because of the expectation of interrupting the work of the abortion clinic.

Likewise here, Ground Zero is hallowed ground: where some 3,000 Americans were killed by Islamic extremists. The construction of an Islamic Mosque will forever escalate the feelings of hatred that families of the victims must feel for those who killed their loved ones.

Healing will require the mosque go elsewhere.

So, why is our President, who bows to Saudi princes, and apologizes to muslims overseas so in favor of this? Is he at heart a Muslim also?

When Cornered: Blame Bush!

Embattled Rep. Maxine Waters on Friday blamed the Bush administration for her ethics problems -- saying she had to intervene with the Treasury Department on behalf of minority-owned banks seeking federal bailout funds -- including one tied to her husband -- because the Treasury Department wouldn't schedule its own appointments.

The California Democrat said in a Capitol Hill news conference
-- an event rarely held during a congressional recess -- that she reached out to then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in late 2008 when his department failed to respond to the National Bank Association's request for a meeting.

But the House ethics committee, which is investigating Waters for allegedly improperly using her position for personal gain, says in its report of charges that when the meeting was held, the officers of only one bank came -- OneUnited.

That's a problem for Waters since her husband, Sidney Williams, served as a member of OneUnited's board of directors from January 2004 until April 2008, and was a stockholder in the bank.

OOOOps! The truth hurts! But nevermind,,,,,,,BLAME BUSH!

More Christian Persecution in the name of Freedom

Now the anti-religous, anti-Christian movement heads west. Leaders of a Christian organization are convinced a group of atheists were successful in getting annual fellowship services moved from the Missoula County Fair, but church organizers say they’re determined to make the best of their new location.

Sunday morning church is a long-standing tradition at the Missoula County Fair, thanks to the Missoula Christian Network’s planning. But that tradition fell by the wayside this year after complaints from a national atheist group, which called the service “a violation of civil rights.”

Rebecca Markert, staff attorney for the atheist/agnostic group Freedom From Religion, said, “Anyone who went to the church service received free admission to the county fair, which is a violation of the Civil Rights Act. It discriminates against non-churchgoers.”

According to Steve Earle, director of the Missoula County Fairgrounds, the churchgoers did receive free admission – but so did every other Sunday morning fair attendee. The fair does not offer churchgoers any special privileges, Earle told FoxNews.com.

So, once again, this is nothing more than a radical atheist group exerting power through intimidation to prevent a community from coming together to worship at a public event.

There is nothing in the Constitution which prohibits this; in fact the Constitution protects this precious Freedom. We are going to have to fight back to preserve it.

Pay No Attention to That Man Behind the Curtain!!

Now that the House has passed a $26 Billion bill to support teacher Unions and pension benefits, you no doubt can hear the Food Stamp lobby squealing like stuck pigs about cuts in Food Stamps used to prop up the teacher unions.

And to many of us, it might seem somewhat cruel to take food out of children's mouths to prop up teacher pensions.

Oh, but do not worry. This is Washington, and nothing of the sort will happen. Read it all here.

After all,

Democratic rank and file members, including Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, say the cuts won’t take effect until 2014 and will merely return food stamp benefits to pre-stimulus levels.

Translation: we are only cutting the INCREASE in benefits. There is no reduction.

Welcome to life in Obamaville..........

What will it take to make the States Adopt Secession?

Not only is Washington DC suing Arizona over immigration. They are pushing the stimulus programs and hijacking state budgets in the process. Read it all here.

Standing with teachers yesterday in the White House Rose Garden, Mr. Obama said, "We can't stand by and do nothing while pink slips are given to the men and women who educate our children or keep our communities safe." Maintaining the salaries and generous benefit plans for members of teachers unions is indeed a top Democratic priority. That's why $10 billion of the bill's funding is allocated to education, and the money comes with strings that will multiply the benefits for this core Obama constituency.

Specifically, the bill stipulates that federal funds must supplement, not replace, state spending on education. Also, in each state, next year's spending on elementary and secondary education as a percentage of total state revenues must be equal to or greater than the previous year's level.

Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi did the math and figured out his state will be worse off. Mr. Barbour says the bill will force his state "to rewrite its current year [fiscal 2011] budget. Preliminary estimates of the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration show that we will now have to spend between $50-100 million of state funds—funds that must be taken away from public safety, human services, mental health and other state priorities and given to education—in order for an additional $98 million of federal funds to be granted to education. There is no justification for the federal government hijacking state budgets, but that is exactly what Congress has done."

So guess who gets to clean up the state's budget books when things go south? The state's taxpayers of course.

This Federal Government is out of control. It needs to be stopped.

Is our Nation suffering from Black Fatigue?

Blacks, or Afro-Americans, make up about 12.4 % of the population, as cited here. Hispanics make up about 15% and whites make up about 75%.

As we head into the backside of 2010, with mid-term elections along the way, it seems curious that a major crime story like the recent one from Connecticut has not caused more of an outrage or received more media coverage than it has. After all, a deranged former employee of a business killed eight of his co-workers.

Why is the nation so quiet about this? Is it simply another case of black on white crime that the liberal media wants to hush up because it does not fit with liberal narrative about life in America: where whites are racists and black are victims?

Or is it that as a nation, a nation still majority white and minority black, we are suffering from Black Fatigue?

What do I mean by Black Fatigue? In a nutshell I define Black Fatigue as the condition where the nation wants Black Americans to have all the freedoms and liberties and opportunities to succeed that any citizen of this Country should enjoy by virtue of their Citizenship. But the nation is tired of being called racist every time a black demagogue feels spurned, tired of watching a black man kill eight whites and all the media talks about is what a victim the black man is, tired of pouring billions upon billions of dollars into anti-poverty programs only to see claims that "poverty" is worse than ever; knowing that many of those "in poverty" have flashy cars and all the other toys of modern America, yet still line up for handouts. The nation is tired of reverse discrimination in the name of equality. The nation is tired of bending over backwards to excuse poor black behavior. The nation is tired of walking on eggshells, fearful of being labeled a racist for not walking on eggshells. And the nation is tired of being labeled racist because we are tired of paying for all the Government programs that don't seem to alleviate any problems, rather they just seem to perpetuate a dependent class which is nothing more than a modern version of slavery.

Black Murders Eight Whites; Media Blames Whites

After 50 years of being inundated with stories of white racism, and being taught in college that in this white-dominated society only a white can be a racist, the American public has been properly brainwashed into accepting the otherwise incredible: A black man murdered eight white people at his place of work because they were white, and the media story is about the murderer’s alleged experiences of racism.

To those closest to him, Omar Thornton was caring, quiet and soft-spoken. . . . But underneath, Thornton seethed with a sense of racial injustice for years that culminated in a shooting rampage Tuesday in which the Connecticut man killed eight and wounded two others at his job at Hartford Distributors in Manchester before killing himself.

“I know what pushed him over the edge was all the racial stuff that was happening at work,” said his girlfriend, Kristi Hannah.

In fact, just before he started shooting, Thornton had been told he had the choice of quitting or being fired for stealing beer, and there was video proof of his doing so. But this fact — the one indisputable and most pertinent pre-murder fact — got lost within the larger context of Thornton’s claims of being a victim of whites.

Where does all this slanted reporting come from?

Just as leading liberals would not ascribe Islamist motives — until there was no possibility of denying them — to recent Muslim attacks on Americans, so the liberal media — i.e., almost all news outlets in America — are not branding these Connecticut murders for what they are: racist. Thornton actually told the 911 operator, “I wish I could have gotten more of the people [i.e., whites].”

We are repeatedly told by liberals — both whites and blacks — that America needs an honest dialogue on race. Needless to say, they don’t mean it, because the moment a white or a black says anything critical of black behavior, he is labeled racist or Uncle Tom. So most nonliberal whites and blacks just keep quiet.

And where has the current intensity of racial tensions come from? The White House and the Obama Administration.

Marriage, Homosexuality, Courts, and Constitution

The federal same-sex marriage decision out of California sets into motion a sequence of events that will result in a Supreme Court earthquake two years from now. The Supreme Court can either vindicate traditional marriage, or forever redefine the most basic unit of human civilization. Read it all here.

On August 4, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California decided Perry v. Schwarzenegger. The Federal Judge in essence substituted his thinking for that of 7 million California voters who had decided in their state that marriage would remain between one mand and one woman. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that marriage is a fundamental right in the U.S. Constitution. In this ruling, Chief Judge Vaughn Walker held that the California Constitution violates that federal right by not allowing gays to marry each other.

Although not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, marriage is an implied fundamental right. The test for whether a right is a fundamental right is whether it is rooted in the history and tradition of the American people, and essential to an Anglo-American scheme of ordered liberty.

As one commenter to this article added, "The Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and The Ten Commandments of Almighty God are the Triune Pillars of this Republic. The basis of our "Christian Nation, Supreme Court Case, 1892" was the Bible. And that is what the enemies of America want removed from our Nation. It is the Bible and God they want US to exclude from this "Christian Nation."

Religion, morality, freedom, and liberty are under massive attack from the Socialists who want to redistribute wealth to the various interest groups who want what they want, no matter what the Christian tradition of this country is.

Together, they may bring down this country which gives them the freedom to undertake their subversive ways.

Local Govt's cut services to deal with budget pinches

Local Governments do not have the lavish streams of revenue they had just a few years ago, read it all here. Property tax revenues are stagnant or falling. Citizens will not approve new taxes, and depopulation or foreclosures have hit hard.

Cities by and large still seem to be resorting to old tricks to punish voters who won't fork over more money to finance bloated city budgets.

The typical response from City Hall is to declare "the budget has been cut to the bone" and start laying off teachers, police, firemen, or cutting back on libraries, street lights, or sanitation workers. Note that administrations never get cut, pensions don't get cut, benefits don't get cut as those are "obligations".

The voters need to send clear signals to their local governments on what they think are "obligations" or not. I bet the voters have a different take on that.

The Car Government Builds for (not) Every Man

There it is: the pride of Government Motors; even Prez Obama had to sit behind the wheel to enjoy the new-car smell of the Chevy volt and the billions in Government money that props it up.

You see, the Chevy Volt has a couple of techical features that at first might seem to cramp its style: a range of 40 miles on a full battery charge and enough room for perhaps two full-sized adults and precious little luggage.

With its $41,000 price tag, it has a couple of marketing problems also. The first is, most people can't afford it even if they wanted one. But no fear, the Government is offering a $7,500 tax rebate to those who persevere and actually buy one of these things.

That raises a question, will anyone buy it? Yes, says GM's marketing consulting firm; Deloitte Consulting says that the demand for such cars is from “young, very high income individuals” from households that make more than $200,000 a year, which is why the Volt will be rolled out in upscale, trendy urban markets.

Isn't that just so special? The working class folks who can't afford such a monstrosity will be paying taxes to subsidize the upper-income somethings with no children who will buy it.

Sounds like a scheme only Michelle "Antoinette" Obama could make up!

Michelle "Antionette" Obama....." I do it for the little people"

The 2010 Spainish Vacation of Michelle Obama and 40 of her "closest" friends is reaching French Revolution proportions in awareness by the "little people". Read it all .......here.

Sacrifice is something that many Americans are becoming all too familiar with during this economic downturn. It was a key theme in President Obama's inaugural address to the nation, and he's referenced it numerous times when lecturing the country on how to get back on its feet.

But while most of the country is pinching pennies and downsizing summer sojourns - or forgoing them altogether - the Obamas don't seem to be heeding their own advice. While many of us are struggling, the First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her "closest friends." According to CNN, the group is expected to occupy 60 to 70 rooms, more than a third of the lodgings at the 160-room resort. Not exactly what one would call cutting back in troubled times.

Reports are calling the lodgings of Obama's Spanish fiesta, the Hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella, "luxurious," "posh" and "a millionaires' playground." Estimated room rate per night? Up to a staggering $2,500. Method of transportation? Air Force Two.

And read here about the rising anger of taxpayers who are footing the bill for this largesse. Of course you have to read that in a UK paper since the Lame Stream Media in the US totally ignore the stories of Michelle "Antionette" Obama
