Why?

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments

I posed the question on social networks asking why people felt the need to own AK-47s or AR-15s. Many people state the reason for owning them as “protection”, and many people are running out to buy more guns now that Obama has been elected president.

Being from Connecticut I’ve never been around gun enthusiasts, my mom hates guns and my dad doesn’t have an opinion, but having moved south to Oklahoma for college I was thrown into the middle of a gun-loving society. The number one ad I heard on the radio in the run up to the election was a gun store having a sale to “defend your second amendment rights”. I don’t have an issue with people owning handguns or rifles, but I still can’t get my mind around the reasoning for owning semi-automatics.

I don’t know anyone who hunts with these kind of guns, and as far as protecting your family its overkill and seems to be more of a hazard than anything. Don’t these things go through walls and bones and anything else in there way? Weren’t they meant for the battle field? Do we really neeed these things floating around the country?

Call me a weird Northener but I just don’t see the need for them, and hope the Obama administration will work to restrict access to them, even bringing back the ban that was passed during the Clinton adminstration.

Grow Up and Stop Whining

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments

To all the people that in the instant that America elected the first
African American President felt the need to  say the country is going
to hell, say he is a terrorist, you sicken me. Regardless of your
political alignment to attack someone with such racist, demeaning, and
false statements makes you no better than the KKK or regimes like
Saddam Hussein or Kim Jong Il. You are the terrorist, you are the
racist.

Americans showed up in record numbers to exercise their
right to vote for the person they felt was the best suited to lead the
country. If you bash or attack something like this you are stating your
opposition to democracy, to the basic principles on which this country
was founded 232 years ago. You have every right to not like the
election results, I didn’t like them in 2000 or 2004 but I acted like
an adult, I accepted the victory of George Bush and hoped for the best.
Stop acting like 2 year olds who didn’t get your toy, start acting like
adults. You people show more reason why the founding fathers were right
when they set up the electoral college, you are too dumb to make
rational, logical decisions that will directly affect the nation.

A Trick Too Far

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments

Halloween was Friday and its suppose to be a day when you become something you aren’t. While many adults continue to indulge in the tradition with parties, the holiday is meant for kids, for getting an amount of candy that will have dentists seeing dollar signs. But one woman has turned the holiday into a way to punish kids for their parents decisions:

Kids don’t vote, they can’t vote, and if you want to make kids cry simply because you don’t like Obama, you are nothing better than a terrorist. Lady you need to grow up, stop attacking people for their votes, this is America and while you have a right to do this, I think we all can agree its over the line. Give the kids the candy and let politics be.

Bush Made of Shit - Literally

Ohio Artist Makes a head of George W. Bush made entirely of Bull’s droppings

Gotta say the resemblance is striking, though it begs the question, what the hell did the workshop smell like after this was done

Crawford

Filed Under Financial, Uncategorized | Comments

I went to Hulu today to check out their debate center, and apparently the site had a world premire of a documentary on Crawford, President Bush’s adopted town. The documentary is compromised solely of interviews with the town’s residents and does an excellent job of showing the issues from their perspective.

Some Highlights:

  • Students who see the President as using Crawford to bill himself as a cowboy (that iconic shed and famr equipment backdrop for newscasts is behind the high school)
  • Pro-war resident states CNN is a bunch of Communists, and Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity  tell the truth
  • The local coffee shop owner calling all Iraqis terrorists and saying if we weren’t there they’d be here
  • A town ruled by religion that sees anything outside of their views as unpatriotic and immoral.
  • A town that simply wants to be left alone and out of the media spot light and the novelty of having the president as their neighbor starting to annoy them.
