Sanctuary Schools?

So we already have sanctuary cities where criminal illegals can go and they won't be deported or even arrested. . .

Now the cry babies at colleges want their schools to follow the same path and declare their schools Sanctuaries. . .

Go for it.  I wish you well.

I also hope that our Government will finally wake up to the problems of Illegals and enforce the laws already on the books with heavy fines and prison time for those who help them.

I also hope they will cut all Federal money, grants or loans - ANY MONEY that would go to these cities and schools.

Lets see how these colleges do when their crazy students can't get Federal loans to pay for their brain washing . . .

Good luck folks.

The great national unfriending. . .

I knew a few folks on Facebook that lost friends over this election but I was until today happy to say I was not one of them. . .

But I had a couple of friends - brothers - who were as liberal as you get.  And otherwise intelligent folks who have lost their minds over this election.

To the point where one is openly saying the only hope is if someone takes Trump out before he can be sworn in so Obama stays in power a bit longer . . . .

Folks when you call for killing folks over an election you lost me.  You have given up on the American way of life and our sacred blood free power transfer every 4 years.   I cannot stay friends with anyone promoting violence over the election.

Protest, complain, bitch and moan please do, I did the last 8 years but when  you call for violence I am done. . .

And yes, I did click on that little report button on FB for whatever good it will do.  I don't think he personally has any ability to follow through, but we should not even be discussing such crap as Americans.

This election was clean unless you want to look at the massive fraud on the left.  Latest count up to 3 million illegals may have voted. . . NON CITIZENS!  yet Trump still won.

Now the Radicals are trashing the place because their power grab failed.  Ya, I feel safer for our nation and yet less safe personally than I did before the election.

Can't wait until I can move to a red state where I don't have to fear being beaten by my tolerant liberal left neighbors for my opinion. . .

The sad liberal echo chamber we call MA. . .

It has been a sad few days listening to otherwise intelligent friends from the other side lose their minds and continue to push the disinformation the media put out on Trump. I blame a lot of it to being in MA which is little more than an echo chamber for the left, no one challenges their thinking and if you do all they do is knowingly shake their head and tell you you are wrong just ask anyone. . . and then push the hate they accuse the right of . . . a very sad time.

Go get some facts. Trump has already said that yes he will dump Obamacare but there are good points that will be kept like kids staying on to 26 and the bit on existing conditions. Trump has said nothing against the LGBT folks and many supported him. He even supported them in his acceptance speech for the nomination and was photographed holding a rainbow flag given by a support at a rally. No he is not going to attack LGBT rights.

He has also said nothing about doing anything to any legal immigrant to this country. He wants to stop Illegals and every other country out there has immigration control, why should we not? Especially when open borders are only making it easier for those who hate us to come here and stir up trouble and kill us.

I fear the Echo chamber of MA will eventually cost me a few friends as I cannot support folks who support violent protests and continue to push to divide the country.

You want to protest peacefully please do and for his entire term if you want, we did and it is your right, a right I will gladly fight to make sure you have. But if you want to continue to attack fellow citizens, call folks names and throw stones to divide us, and if you want to promote hate and violence then please unfriend me now.

The Radicals

At this point I think we need to call folks what they are.  We seem to have two groups going right now, folks on the left that are upset and peacefully protesting - annoying and acting like cry babies but perfectly in their rights to protest. . .

Then we have the folks that have now shot people, shot cops, burned cars and buildings, broken windows and beat folks they thought voted for Trump.  Some are even calling for killing Trump voters. I don't want to call them by any name that will confuse them with the lawful citizens in the first group.  So what do we call them?  The radical left?  Just Radicals?

When do they cross the line into terrorist?

And they seem to forget a few key things like the fact that the folks they want to attack and kill are the mostly the same folks who own the guns. . . and many more than one. . . . these are also the folks that probably have experience in the service or at least have had training on use of that gun they own.

This is not going where you folks want it to .  You may think so but I doubt you have really honestly thought this through.  Time to stop listening to the BS from the political folks and time to look at reality not the fantasy of the left.  You are talking about starting a civil war with a bunch of armed folks, who are trained for just that. . . . and as you are breaking the law you will quickly find the government is also going to fight against you.

You cannot win this one folks.  Time to grow up before anyone else gets hurt on either side.

Protest or Riot?

Folks it is time we start to call what is going on what it is. . . Riots.

We have two groups active after this election.  Citizens who are peacefully protesting and exercising their rights and Radicals who are attacking folks, burning things, breaking windows and as of last night shooting folks.

I call on the news to start to make a differentiation when they report on this.  This violence is not a protest it is a riot and should be call what it is and the folks taking part treated like criminals.

Can you imagine what would have happened if the right has done this after Obama won?  Really, be honest do you think the media would call it a protest?  Yes the right did protest but no one was hurt and nothing destroyed in the process. . . That is a big difference.

So now that we have all had a few days to digest this it is time to move forward.  Protesters have fun and protest.  Hell do it for his entire term if you want, the right did - but if you harm any one or any thing you are not protesting you are rioting and the cops need to deal with you accordingly.

And to the rest of us be honest we protested Obama from day one and every day in some way.  That is OK but at least admit they are doing what we would be as far as the peaceful protests.  It is the violence we did not have with Obama and it is the violence everyone should be speaking out against and loudly.  Our system lives and works best with protest, not violence.

Open letter to the Radical Left.

Folks now that we have had a few days to watch the Radicals lose their shit over a normal election in America lets look at some facts. So for you radicals out there lets look at a few things. . . .

Americans are basically good people. No matter what the news tells you there is not popular support to attack our fellow citizens who are gay or Muslim or black or yellow or green or anything else. There is not popular support to end the right to choose or to take away women's rights. There is no popular support for police brutality on anyone and there is no popular support for racism. There is no popular support for much of the crap the news is talking about. They like to stir things up and it gets attention. If this election has shown us anything it should be that our news is not unbiased and it is not as interested in the facts as much as it is interested in a good sound bit no matter where it came from. It is in the news medias interest to push fear and hate, it sells- stop playing their game.

The President of the USA (POTUS) can say a lot, but our founders whom you like to crap on were much smarter than you give them credit for. While the POTUS can talk all he/she wants and they do every election they seldom can do all they say they can. Why? It is called checks and balances and we have a bunch.

First and foremost is the Congress. And before you say the GOP got that too it is the House and the Senate that is needed to pass a law, and the Senate is only held by 1 seat at this point. Almost every bill that comes through folks from both sides cross the isle to do what is best for their state so they can get reelected. These folks are also people, not evil machines or demons and they will vote based on their morals and that prevents a lot of crap from passing.

Second we have the courts and they are rather neutral now (maybe a bit left of where they should be but. . .) and use our Constitution to make the calls. Our Constitution was well written and has served us well for over 200 years now. It is because of this very document we now have gay marriage and and may other things. The Constitution does not grant us rights folks, it is a very limited document that tell the government what it has the powers to do and no more. Our rights exist no matter what, every single one of them listed in the Bill of Rights exists no matter what DC says. DC did not grant them and DC does not have the power to take them. We can let them stop us from using our rights but they can't take them.

Lastly we have the people. Although many of us don't want socialism and that is what Obama was selling we also don't want the Government running our lives or yours. You will find that when the people speak Congress listens (so they can get reelected). There will not be enough support to overturn Roe v. Wade in the courts or Congress. There will be no support to deport Citizens (Illegals should not be here anyway), and you will not find support to discriminate in any laws that make it through Congress. Congress also controls the money folks and if enough of us convince our rep not to back something - even if it is a law or one of the regs from the numerous bureaucracies run by appointment in DC it can still be stopped by the House. If they don't pay for it to happen it will be very hard for them to do it. Cut off the money as they say. . . 

Then we have the fail safe, called the Second Amendment. And it is still strong in most of the country and growing. We the people will not let the Government move against fellow citizen that would bring on one hell of a civil war and the folks in power know that (good reason the radicals want gun control to take this away from us).

For my few nut case friends who do want that civil war over this please remember you are in the minority on that one. I doubt most of the Hillary supporters (or any other sane person) are ready to follow you into that one. Also please remember that most of us Evil Conservatives are the ones with the guns, and the training to stand up to you. Lets stop talking bullshit as we know this option would not end well for anyone, but I do firmly believe you would get the worst of it. You also need to understand that most of us are center right not far right and we support many of the same things you do – gay rights, equal rights, right to choose, etc and we will stand with you and fight for these things. DC knows that. We just want smaller government and for it to leave us in peace. As long as you are not hurting anyone and you are an adult you should pretty much be able to do what you want, love who you want and smoke what you want. . . .. Just be responsible about how you do it.

So as much as you hate it you need to trust those old white guys who set up our country. They were a lot smarter than you think. And they were a lot smarter than that radical Professor you had in college that played armchair quarterback on everything he would have done better than them. The world had not ended, and Trump will not get anything very radial through to law. Yes the Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) will probably go back to center right and that is where it should be. Their job is to do a strict interpretation of the laws against the powers granted by the Constitution and see if it passes. They should be asking “what would our founders have said” and there is plenty out there for them to research on that. They are not there to make law or rewrite them – Is it Constitutional Yes or No.

So please, hug your kids, be happy or sad at the election results and go back to living. Protest if you want it is your right but do it peacefully and treat other with respect if you want to get respect yourself. If we all would actually treat each other as we want to be treated we would have made a big leap forward. Do what you can personally to make this country better but please stop the riots and attacks on other citizens. You are not helping anyone including your own cause by burning down a store and putting folks out of work who have done nothing to hurt you - and no that is not free speech.

Election Fear

It is a sad day when you realize you are more scared now for our country than you were before the election when you thought the other side was going to win. . . .

And no I am not scared for what Trump will do, I am terrified that some snot nosed college kid who has never lived in the real world is going to set off something – terror attack up to get a movement going to start a civil war – because it works in the movies. . . . The left needs to get it’s collective shit under control and in order before anyone does anything really stupid and starts something none of us can stop.

Calls for Civil War. . . Really?

You know what?  Listening to the news today is doing nothing to help heal our nation.  Folks that four years ago told us to grow up for saying Obama was not my President are now the ones chanting those same words. 

Funny how those same people that told us just 4 years ago that he won, it was a fare election and we need to deal with it are now the ones who are not “dealing with it”.  The real problem is they have taken it up a level from just protesting and complaining to blocking streets and burning things down.. . .  a bit sever don’t you think?

And to top it off now a few are calling for a civil war over this. .  . Really?  When folks said that 4 years ago you told us to shut up and sit down. . . funny how you can’t see that you are now doing exactly what you complained about us doing.  And have you really thought this through?

Folks there has been a lot of talk on both side over the past 8 years about a civil war here. . . and I am one that has said I think we are going that way. . .  That does NOT mean I want one or would not do anything I could to reverse things.  Only a crazy person would actually push for a civil war.  Let’s be adult here and face the fact that in the grand scheme of things neither side has done anything that cannot be undone through the system at this point.  And neither side has done anything to the level of pulling that switch.

Yes our Founders want us to be able to have that very war if the government gets out of control but do you really think we are there yet?  Honestly?  If so please show me the data because I don’t see anything that has been done we cannot revers with the current system. 

A civil war would drive the US into third world country status and destroy much of our infrastructure that would take generations  for us to fix and recover from.  Do you want that for your kids?

And for those that want a war please educate yourself on the cost of the last one:

About 620,000 died – that does not include wounded or missing. . . almost 2% of the nation’s population then. . . today that would be 6,484,540 dead.  You really think anything that has happened so far is worth that?

So it is time for us all to suck it up and move on folks.  We had bad choices once again and we have no one to blame but ourselves for letting them get that far.  Now do what you can to make your piece of our nation better and in 4 years we may just be amazed at what we have done. . . we are Americans it is time to start acting like it.

The Left goes Nuts on Trump

Folks even CNN can see why you lost this election.  Heck they are calling for burning down the Democratic party and starting over. . . much like what Trump forced onto the GOP.

Both parties need to be rebuilt to work for the people but that is a different story.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?

I voted against Hillary because of my fear of how she would run things.  I did not want another 4 years of the failed Obama ideas.  More importantly I did not want 4 more years of hate and name calling used against anyone who disagreed with her.

Did the Conservatives protests?  Sure they have the Tea Party and we saw plenty of protests.  What we did not see was violence in the streets as part of these protests.  What we did not see was the right calling folks names or Nazi's because you disagreed with them.  Did the far right have stand offs with the cops?  Yes, a few times but again nothing got torched, and the only dead person was a protester.  Property was not damaged and innocent folks were not put in harms way.

What I am seeing on the news now has shown me I made the right call voting against her.  If this is how her supporters act when she lost a lawful election can you imagine what they would have done over the upcoming fights for the courts and to pass laws?  Were there issues with the vote?  Sure and most favored Hillary. . . . . who assured us it was not rigged so now you need to live with the outcome for 4 years.

As I watch I see what Obama has done to us.  Further divided our country and incites hate because of a different opinion.  And to make it worse the supporters of the left refuse to even listen to a different opinion.  I have tried pointing out facts, they don't care and always have an excuse why the facts are wrong and they are right.  Sorry but facts are facts and don't change because you don't like them.  You can ignore them but they are still the facts.

Do you have the right to bitch about the loss?  Sure, as long as it is peaceful.  I am seeing the left do exactly what the demonized the right for.  Except the right never did it and I am watching the left do it now.  Time to step back folks and take a good hard look in the mirror.

It is the left who for years now has been torching their own neighborhoods when things go wrong instead of working in the courts, it is the left who was beating up supporters of the other side and burning their campaign offices.  It is now the left that is rioting in the streets like spoiled children over a fair and open election when there are legal means to protest the vote if you have proof it was rigged.  Why is it always the left that resorts to violence?

I think this is exactly why Trump won.  The average American is sick of this crap and wants real change.  Trump promised it and we gave him 4 years to do it or he is out.

Either way I don't want the left running things if their thugs are going to come and beat folks and burn out our homes and businesses because we disagree with them and say so.  You want to compare someone to the 1930's Nazi party you need to look at history and look how you are acting on the left. . . .

  It seems to me that they have shown us who they really are and we have rejected it.  They are far to quick to resort to violence and someone needs to take a good hard look at why. . . .

Dear Mass Speaker of the House

An Open Letter. . .

Dear Speaker DeLeo

I am writing you to ask what is being done to fix this mess?  Our Attorney General has again gone and written her own laws.  And just like the "Approved Gun Lists" this is another over reach that attacks our rights.  The AWB has been on the books for 18 or so years and works fine.  How can anyone justify a sudden back room rewrite of the law and what it says?  Did the Legislature update this law and I missed it?

The part of this that terrifies me the most is one person is usurping the power of the Legislature to pass a politically driven agenda.  It is this action ignoring the will of the people that has lead to the rise of Trump and those like him.  People are losing faith in our elected leaders to do the will of the people and to work openly and transparently.

Laws are supposed to be written and passed by the Legislature as the voice of the people.  The Courts interpret the law and the AG enforces and that is it.

With a stroke of her pen she has made thousands of lawful gun owners in this state possible felons, and denied access to the most popular guns in the country to gun owners in MA.

We do not have a problem with "Assault Weapons" in this state. Murders by ALL RIFLES over the last 10 years in the USA is in the single digits with the excption of terror attacks.  When the nation ban sunset data showed it had done NOTHING to make a difference in safety or anything else.  Terrorist will get what they need to attack us (they don't care about our laws) and disarming the lawful citizens of our state will not help.  It only makes it easier for those who would attack us. . . If you don't believe this then just ask yourself how well our drug laws have prevented drug use. . . .

This must be fixed and fixed NOW! Access to these guns by LAWFUL LICENCED GUN OWNERS needs to be restored and the AG needs to be brought back under control.

As a Mass Gun Instructor I can tell you I see full classes for permits at my gun club every month.  We have been forced to add on classes due to demand.  People would not be running out to get gun permits if they wanted more gun control.

I look forward to hearing how you will fix this.  I for one will be thinking about this over reach when I vote in November.
