I had a few hours to myself this afternoon so I figured this would be a good time to update my blog. But when I sat down at the computer and tried to figure out what I was going to write about, I found that I had so many things going through my mind that it was going to be impossible to narrow it down to just one thing. Besides, it's been a while since I did a "Random Thoughts" post, so it's about time.
So, having said that, off we go!
If anyone in their right mind - which leaves out the POTUS and the entire Democratic party - thinks that there isn't a very real threat on this continent of another terrorist attack, then I suggest you go ask any Canadian about that. While you're at it, ask the family of Corporal Nathan Carillo what they think, but be prepared for a very emotional and not-so-politically-correct answer. And if you don't know who Corporal Carillo is, shame on you.
ISIS is a threat, like it or not. As much as the President wants to try and avoid using the word "terrorist" and admitting that ISIS is a real threat to the security of our nation, the fact is that what happened in Canada can also happen here. I also happen to think that it's not so much a matter of "if" it happens here, but "when." The terrorist who shot up the Canadian Parliament yesterday was a Canadian citizen, a "home grown" terrorist who recently converted to Islam. There are also unconfirmed reports that the Border Patrol has apprehended quite a few Americans who allied themselves with ISIS while trying to cross over the border from Mexico back into our country. Three guesses what they were doing outside of the country, and you only have to use one guess to figure out why they were trying to sneak back in. The fact of the matter is that we are wide open for a terrorist attack from one of these "home grown" terrorist simply because we don't know who they are - that, plus our President sat on his hands and did nothing while ISIS became an organized and deadly terrorist unit, a far cry from the "JV league" organization that The Great Pretender said they were. Once again, the incompetence of this man is brought out into the light for the world to see, and everyone sees it except the lemmings who voted for him and still support him.
And there's a very vital lesson that every Democrat, liberal, and gun-grabber in our nation can learn from the events in Canada. That lesson is this, and it's very simple: THE ONLY THING THAT WILL STOP A BAD GUY WITH A GUN IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN. The terrorist that shot up Parliament had already killed a soldier guarding the Canadian War Memorial first and was on his way to the Parliament chambers to shoot up everyone there - which also happened to include the Canadian Prime Minister. I'm guessing that the terrorist shot the guard at the memorial because he didn't know the rifle the guard was carrying wasn't loaded, and he thought the soldier would shoot him first. (Bet the Canadians start giving the guards ammunition now, huh?) But he had a surprise waiting for him when he got into the Parliament building - namely, the Sergeant At Arms who was armed. The bad guy counted on having a room full of unarmed victims waiting for him, and instead he found one - just one - determined good guy with a gun who promptly put a halt to the terrorist's activities and his life. Too bad for the terrorist, and hooray for the Sergeant At Arms.
For the life of me I can't understand why any rational human being with more than an ounce of common sense would think that disarming anyone would make them safer. The sheer stupidity of that lone belief just astounds me. The only thing that even comes close is the belief that gun control laws and "gun free zones" work. They don't, and the facts prove it. With one exception, ALL of the last 15 mass shootings that have taken place in this nation have taken place in a "gun-free zone." 99% of the shootings that take place in America involve a gun that was obtained by illegal means, either having been stolen or bought on the black market after having been stolen. And yet, the liberals and gun-grabbers continue to spew their misinformed and just plain incorrect ideology that "gun control saves lives." Stupidity at its finest.
And speaking of hypocrites - yeah, I know, I wasn't but it's a good segway - how about Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed, a Democrat who has sponsored several anti-gun bills in the State Senate, getting arrested at a protest in Ferguson, Missouri? While she was arrested for a minor charge, the kicker is what she was found to be carrying when arrested. Seems that the Democrat senator, who is an avowed gun-grabber, was carrying a concealed weapon and a couple of extra magazines of ammo when she was arrested. And surprise of all surprises, she has a concealed weapons permit! I don't know about you, but to me this sends a very clear message which is that the good Senator thinks it's OK for HER to have a concealed weapon permit and carry a pistol, but she doesn't think it's OK for US to be able to do the same. Can you say, "HYPOCRITE?" Kinda makes one wonder just how many of these so-called "liberal" gun-grabbing Senators and Congressmen have concealed weapons permits and carry guns, all the while sponsoring bills to take that right away from you and me. Hmmmmmm....
I'm very glad to say that my prediction of Ebola becoming a full-blown epidemic has't come true, although I am afraid that since it's been pushed out of the headlines that people will stick their heads in the sand again and think that there's no threat. There is, people, and you can't ignore it. I also kinda wonder what would make the President pick someone with ZERO medical training and experience to be the head of the government's efforts to fight the Ebola outbreak. But then again, the lack of common sense and experience on the part of this President is well-known, so why am I surprised?
And that's about it for this time, friends and neighbors. Gonna meet with the Four Musketeers tonight at the local Quaker Steak and Lube, and I'm really looking forward to it!
