Stronger Sword Control Laws are Needed!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 12:22:41 PM
The recent uptick in sword related crimes cries out for government intervention. Two dead in Indiana , following a sword battle last week, at the hands of a modern day Cyrano and now a Ninja has attempted to rob 2 Weymouth MA dry cleaners armed only with his trusty Ninja sword. There are thought to be millions of these swords, unregistered, and requiring no identification to purchase and with proper care and maintenance will last for hundreds of years. Many of these weapons are in the hands of adolescents masquerading as innocent room decorations. Could this Ninja be part of one of the militias DHS warned us about? Ninjas are very hard to see, in fact, there could be one standing right next to you and you probably wouldn't realize it until he was making off with your dry cleaning.
 
Seriously, how long before some moron in the congress calls for a ban on swords? I just figured to get a jump on it and start the ball rolling.

Senator DeMint Needs Your Support on Drilling!!!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Saturday, September 20, 2008 8:56:39 AM
Senator Jim DeMint has been among the strongest supporters in the Senate for drilling and other viable solutions to America's energy problems. He and his colleagues are asking for public support on this issue as outlined in the following except from his email.
 
"I know you are very busy, but I need your immediate help."

"As you know, the twenty-five year ban on offshore drilling will expire on October 1st. In the coming days the Senate will be debating on whether or not to renew the ban. I believe that we should not renew the ban and begin drilling in our territories to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, but I need to know what you think."

"Should we let the twenty-five year ban on offshore drilling expire?"

"Should we stop frivolous lawsuits from left-wing environmental groups that have delayed energy production for years?"
 
He has a poll site at this link: http://www.jimdemint.com/drilling-survey/
 
Although, it looks as if the ban will expire because the opponents of drilling lack the time to pass an extension, this issue will not die on it's own. Stopping the environmental lawsuits are a matter of critical importance to our energy future. I urge all THer's to give him the support he needs.

Putting the Election Aside for a Moment…

Posted by Sgt Relic on Saturday, September 13, 2008 12:30:49 PM
The do nothing congress is back in session and, in typical style, have these spectacular accomplishments to add to their already fine record. According to my representatives weekly report this is what they managed to get done this week.

“Two bills to name post offices. Two bills to name courthouses. A bill to create congressional clerkships. A bill to allow electronic pay stubs for congressional employees. And a study of two rivers in Vermont.
After a five week recess, these bills were on the short list of items the House of Representatives debated and voted on this week. The House leadership also cut the week short, so there was no debate or votes on Friday.” – Randy Forbes (R-VA)

They did debate, and tabled until next week, a bill to increase visas for the coming year from a mere 1 million to 1.55 million. This at a time when we have just passed the 6% unemployment rate, and it is still rising.


Americans for Prosperity, a watchdog group, has sent the following warning:

“The clock is ticking down to October 1st, 2008 -- the expiration date for the current Congressional ban on offshore drilling and oil shale recovery.

Expanding domestic energy production by getting at untapped U.S. resources is the key to lowering prices at the pump -- so contact your lawmaker today and tell them to DO NOTHING. That's right. Tell your lawmaker that doing nothing is the right thing to do for American energy consumers.”

“Nancy Pelosi and other liberal leaders know they are running out of time to save their political skins, so they’ve put together a sham proposal they claim would allow “drilling.” Tell your lawmakers not to be fooled! Democratic proposals that claim to allow drilling are just ploys designed to erect huge new permanent hurdles to meaningful oil exploration and to hike taxes on energy.”

“Contact your lawmakers. Urge them to support letting the current ban on offshore drilling expire by DOING NOTHING.”

This is AFP’s suggested action plan. I certainly sounds like something they shouldn’t have any problem accomplishing. Who wants to bet that the Do Nothing Congress would actually Do Nothing!

Rep. Pence is saying that republicans are poised to force the energy issue next week. It is this writer’s hope that they are not walking into an ambush driven by their zeal for the “all of the above” position. This will require careful scrutiny at a time when many voters are distracted by the prospect of a GOP win in November.

We will need to keep our heads on a swivel as long as congress is session with Red Nanny at the helm.

Update! There is a first look at the democrat energy bill at the following link: http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/11/meanwhile-back-in-washington/
