Obama, Please Step Away from Gun Legislation December 2012

Obama's tripping in his rush to control American guns. Instead of empathizing with Americans, Obama has decided to try to divide US by throwing in the fishy red herring of gun control instead of finding ways to keep US and the world safe and free. This is the service for which many people voted for Obama. But instead, Obama has grabbed the hot wire of gun control, and seems determined to use this to distract US and the world from the real issues: We need to keep all kids in the world safe and free. We need to make sure all kids and their families and friends are safe and free.

Obama is failing. He gets an F. Here is an article that explains exactly why Obama has no business tinkering with the Bill of Rights.

"Why Obama Shouldn't Lead Fight Against Gun Violence." By David Frum. CNN Contributor. Monday, December 17, 2012.

"If the president -- any president -- inserts himself into the gun debate, he will inevitably polarize it. Supporters of the president will rally, but opponents of the president will become more obdurate."

Poster Regarding the Expansion of Human Empathy

At the end of 2012, as the traditional New Year approaches, it's nice to read this post via: ScottCA Bako ChatRooms•5 months ago

• "... as the Moral Philosopher Peter Singer has pointed out in his book "The Expanding Circle" Our ability to empathize with others is expanding and growing stronger, not weaker...

Harvard Psychology Professor Steven Pinker has written extensively about the declining rate of violence...People are becoming less violent, not more violent."

This Christmas, 2012, we can remember that our founders fought on this day

for freedom and liberty for all.
As we stay in our homes,
we can remember that the Continental Army
marched in the snow and the sleet so that
their children and posterity could be free.

We must remember their courage.

Whatever we face as Americans today,
they would have faced for US.

Obama Cut Funds for School Security, So Obama Shifts Blame, Points Finger, Takes Aim to Shoot Up US Constitution and Bill of Rights Wednesday, December 19, 2012

When cowards and psychopaths kill, then people gather to discuss ways to end such suffering.
Rational people will gravely and calmly consider lawful and effective ways to restore peace to our lives.

Perhaps Obama is trying to shield himself and shift US from noticing that he cut funding for school security, and perhaps this action of Obama's is responsible for leaving children unprotected while Obama bails out the banks and takes aim at the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It's classic narcissism, to point the finger at innocent people when Obama himself is guilty of creating a sitution where the kids were killed.

"Beneath the expressions of grief, sorrow and disbelief over the Connecticut school massacre lies an uneasy truth in Washington: over the last few years the Obama administration and Congress quietly let federal funding for several key school security programs lapse in the name of budget savings.'
"Obama Administration, Congress Quietly Let School Security Funds Lapse." By John Solomon and Kimberly Dvorak. December 14, 2012. Washington Guardian.

Irrational people will cause trouble. Right now, instead of doing his job to keep America safe and free, Obama is drawing a line in the sand and stirring up the useless debate on gun control.

The following paragraph is a quote from the article "Reuters Calls for Obama to Act as Dictator to Ban Guns." By Melissa Melton. Prison Planet.com December 19, 2012:

"According to this story, it’s official: America is under an admitted dictatorship.
This country’s government is supposed to have a system of checks and balances, with three branches of government to keep the balance of power in check—executive, legislative and judicial. America is not limited to an executive branch that controls everything."

Right now, Obama is causing trouble. In our grief and anger, Americans are united in their wish to end these senseless shooting. Obama doesn't share this feeling of American unity. Obama is working with others to divide US as he and others take aim at the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. No honest servant of the people works to destroy the architecture of freedom, liberty, and equality.

Some media are joining Obama by taking aim US Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Reuters sets the example of treason by brushing aside US and human rights in the rush to make Obama a petty king, a pathetic tyrant, a boring and useless dictator.

Right now, Americans want and need to know that they and their families have security and freedom. Americans will not give up one to have the other. Security and Freedom go hand in hand.
Americans deserve a better servant who lives in the White House because of US.
In our grief and anger, we need a servant to find solutions.
Our servant Obama is brushing aside the questions about psychotropic drugs, about the changes and inconsistencies in the "official" story, and about restoring the money for school security that he let slide!
During this time especially for children, We the People must have thoughtful and serious discussions about ways to make our lives safe and free for all. We must politely listen to people even if we disagree with them, and ask that they politely listen to us. Together we can find the answers.

Obama does not have the answer. We the People have the right and the responsibility to tell him and our servants in Congress what to do.

"According to this story, it’s official: America is under an admitted dictatorship.
This country’s government is supposed to have a system of checks and balances, with three branches of government to keep the balance of power in check—executive, legislative and judicial. America is not limited to an executive branch that controls everything."

Freedom is the Right Answer : Americans Must End TSA.

An argument about why Americans must stand up to the tsa and the government.

"Imagine if armed thugs forced you to strip naked while they took pictures. Worse, imagine they did the same thing to your spouse and children, and you were helpless to stop them. Imagine if they lewdly molested your children while they forced you to watch. Imagine if they chuckled while they told you it was for your own good and offered a choice between the nude pictures and the grope. Does having that choice make you free?

You don’t have to imagine. All you have to do is take a flight out of Cincinnati, Columbus or many other US airports."

NDAA and America Moral Degenerate in an Interview with Noam Chomsky on Reader Supported News December 14, 2012

No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned, disseised, outlawed, banished, or in any way destroyed,

nor will We proceed against or prosecute him,

 except by the lawful judgment of his peers and by the law of the land."

"To no one will We sell, to no one will We deny or delay, right or justice."

The Magna Carta

In this interview, America Moral Degenerate, Noam Chomsky discusses the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which ignores the laws of our land, the Consitution, the Bill of Rights, and human rights dating back to and before the Magna Carta.

Obama claims the power to detain any one he wants, and assassinate anyone he wants.
Many people who voted for Obama are in this position. Many of the people who voted for Obama don't keep up with news and don't know what the NDAA is. Or if they do know, then they often "trust" Obama.

Yet, the Founders designed a government that deliberately was not built on trust but on suspicion. The Founders set up a government to check human flaws. The argument goes that we are all children of Adam and Eve, and therefore we all have flaws. This tendency to human error is why the Constitution and Bill of Rights exist, based on the Medieval Magna Carta signed by the flawed King John, the enemy of the legendary Robin Hood. The British barons could no longer tolerate a chaotic government and forced John to sign the document.

So, the NDAA must go away, with the Patriot Act, and all the other petty tyrant scribblings and ravings, down into the trash bin of history.

We the People must take to heart this statement by George Washington:

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

The Founders knew this day would come. The chess game that is the Constitution and the tyrant tethering that is the Bill of Rights worked to check the people who tried to rule US. Now, We the People must face the situation we are in.

Hollywood Pirates : The Myth and the Dream for Better or Worse

Captain Keitt: illustration of a pirate captain on deck. By Howard Pyle (1853 - 1911).

Hollywood Pirates : The Myth and the Dream for Better or Worse

Writer J. Dennis Robinson in his article "Why I Hate Fake Pirates" makes his case for the lack of authentic costume in Hollywood pirate films. Robinson begins with the Hollywood creation Captain Jack Sparrow from the Walt Disney studio. Then he travels back in time to the sources of pirate myth: Treasure Island by Robert Lewis Stevenson, Peter Pan by James M. Barrie, and The Book of Pirates by Howard Pyle, the artist and illustrator of countless pirate images projected onto the silver screen and television. Robinson puts the responsibility, or the blame, on these writers and their fictional characters who refused to stay on the page and leapt into the lives of children and their parents and guardians.

Robinson notes the effect that a babysitter's stories of adventures on the ocean can have on a child, who grew up to write Treasure Island in 1881.

"Long John Silver became the quintessential fake pirate that children still love to fear."

Robinson outlines how children's fascination with pirates of legend such as Stevenson's Long John Silver was blended with the James M. Barrie fantasy creation Peter Pan.

"Barrie’s instinct that all children wish they can fly, distrust adults, and are fascinated by colorful pirates proves true with each new generation."

Robinson concludes with the influence of artist and illustrator Howard Pyle (1853 to 1911). Pyle who describes himself as "a Quaker Gentleman in the Farm Lands of Pennsylvania," recreated the bold lives of pirates in thrilling and action-packed images. In his Book of Pirates, Pyle illustrates pirates through a filter of romance, engaging in smoking, drinking, wooing, sailing, dealing with treasure, fighting, and dying.
