Smokin' Weed and Packin' Heat

Tip O' the Hat to Mike Pechar at The Jawa Report for this piece on Oregon insanity. I have no Idea how the hell I ended up living in this insane asylum. I want to know where the hell are all the lefties on this one? Why are they not in the streets not protesting this expansion in gun rights? I guess it is because it expands the rights of marijuana users it is okay to allow this one small expansion in gun rights temporarily until they can roll back the second amendment completely. Hypocrites one and all.

The Oregon State Court of Appeals ruled this week that medical marijuana users cannot be denied concealed handgun licenses, contrary to the opinions of at least two county sheriffs.
The [federal gun control] act states that "an unlawful user ...of any controlled substance" can't own a gun, and the sheriffs contended the federal act trumps Oregon's medical marijuana law.

While federal law prohibits marijuana, Oregon's 12-year-old law legalizes pot possession for residents with a laundry list of qualifying ailments and a doctor's approval.

Consequently, there continues to be a disparity between state and federal law with regard to the medical marijuana issue. The only change is now medical marijuana smokers can be stoned while carrying a concealed weapon.

There is a reason you can not drink and pack a piece, should you be able to get stoned and pack? This idiocy violates the basic rules of gun safety. Before the 4:20 crowd wakes up to harass me that they can only carry when they are sober, I say how can you tell when they are sober?

How Easily Hitler Fooled the Austrian People....

Tip O' the Hat to Christian Soldier at Carol's Blog for this enlightening bit of history:

My friends-please know that the Dark Side (Lucifer's Kids) is working here in the US to do the same evil that was done by Hitler - Stalin and et.al..
An Austrian woman describing the events and situations that led to Hitler's take-over of her country...
three that jumped out-
l. the elimination of Biblical teachings in the newly formed and totally government run schools..
2. the confiscation of guns-which I knew before but she revealed it in her writing...
3. and - of course - the elimination of undesirables...eugenics-Sanger..
Nothing ever changes...
BTW-Hitler admired Sanger

The author of this article lives in South Dakota and appears to be very active in attempting to maintain our freedom. I encourage everybody to read this article and pass it along. I see so many parallels in this country, are we going to sit by and watch it happen?

The United States truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Don't Let Freedom Slip Away

By: Kitty Werthmann

What I am about to tell you is something you've probably never heard or will ever read in history books.

I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide - 98% of the vote.. I've never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.

In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates.

Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn't want to work; there simply weren't any jobs. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people - about 30 daily.

The Communist Party and the National Socialist Party were fighting each other. Blocks and blocks of cities like Vienna, Linz, and Graz were destroyed. The people became desperate and petitioned the government to let them decide what kind of government they wanted.

We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. We had been told that they didn't have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group -- Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.

We were overjoyed, and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed.

After the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service.

Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn't support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage.

Hitler Targets Education - Eliminates Religious Instruction for Children:

Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler's picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn't pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang "Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles," and had physical education.

Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third time they would be subject to jail. The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free. We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.

My mother was very unhappy. When the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn't do that and she told me that someday when I grew up, I would be grateful. There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun - no sports, and no political indoctrination. I hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing. Their loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler. It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did so that I wasn't exposed to that kind of humanistic philosophy.

Equal Rights Hits Home:

In 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didn't work, you didn't get a ration card, and if you didn't have a card, you starved to death. Women who stayed home to raise their families didn't have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men. Soon after this, the draft was implemented. It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps. During the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys. They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines. When I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat. Three months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service.

Hitler Restructured the Family Through Daycare:

When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers. You could take your children ages 4 weeks to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, 7 days a week, under the total care of the government. The state raised a whole generation of children.. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew we had been had.

Health Care and Small Business Suffer Under Government Controls:

Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna . After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything. When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full. If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no
money for research as it was poured into socialized medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.

As for health care, our tax rates went up to 80% of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families. All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.

We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables. Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn't meet all the demands. Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control.

We had consumer protection. We were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The agents would go to the farms, count the live-stock, then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.

"Mercy Killing" Redefined:

In 1944, I was a student teacher in a small village in the Alps. The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated. So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work. I knew one, named Vincent, very well. He was a janitor of the school. One day I looked out the window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van. I asked my superior where they were going. She said to an institution where the State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months. They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.

As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia.

The Final Steps - Gun Laws:

Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long after-wards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.

Totalitarianism didn't come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria . Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom.

After World War II, Russian troops occupied Austria. Women were raped, preteen to elderly. The press never wrote about this either. When the Soviets left in 1955, they took everything that they could, dismantling whole factories in the process. They sawed down whole orchards of fruit, and what they couldn't destroy, they burned. We called it The Burned Earth. Most of the population barricaded themselves in their houses. Women hid in their cellars for 6 weeks as the troops mobilized. Those who couldn't, paid the price. There is a monument in Vienna today, dedicated to those women who were massacred by the Russians. This is an eye witness account.

"It's true..those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity.

America Truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Don't Let Freedom Slip Away.

"After America, There is No Place to Go"

Does any of this sound familiar? It should. Freedom rarely dies all at once, it limps slowly into death.

American Patriot/Hero of the Week

This week's hero is a little different. Sometimes I write the Hero posts like an announcement for an award, I do not disclose the name at the start. This week will be different, as this child hero remains, at least as far as I can research, unnamed due to the fact that he is a minor, and the family fears reprisal, though I have the feeling that most people would take what happened to Jose Luis Ortega to heart, and stay away.

Early on the morning of 1/15/2010, two illegal aliens and a third man, broke into the family's Palmview home in Hidalgo County, TX.

Via ValleyCentral.com:
"The homeowner said she and her 11-year-old son were in bed when she heard banging coming from the front door. She got up to check and she saw two Hispanic males men wearing masks and armed with handguns walking towards her. She quickly closed the bedroom door but one of the men allegedly tried to force it open. The masked man kept telling her to open the door and she would not open the door. The woman told deputies that the home invaders shot through the door and hit her son on the left hip area. Her son had a 22 cal. Rifle and shot back at the alleged robbers[, hitting one man in the neck]. The woman waited, opened the door, saw that the suspects were gone and called 911. Deputies found blood all over the floor and noted that the front door had been knocked down."

Again via ValleyCentral.com:
"The suspects have been have been identified as:

Jaime Arturo Santana-Vasquez, 34
Fernando Guerrero-Padilla, 41
Jose Luis Ortega, 26

Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office deputies reported that both Santana-Vasquez and Guerrero-Padilla are illegal immigrants. The two were arrested near the scene of the crime and were arraigned under aggravated robbery charges where they each received $750,000 dollars in bonds.

Investigators reported that Ortega was shot in the neck by an 11-year-old boy who was also shot while defending his mother.

Deputies said the boy was released from the hospital over the weekend while Ortega remains in a coma at the Brooks Medical Center in San Antonio

Authorities are working to identify other suspects in the case but said Ortega would be charged with attempted murder and aggravated robbery charges once he regains consciousness.

The McAllen Monitor reported that the bullet that entered boy's groin remains in his right leg.

"We just don’t know if there’s any damages that were done to the groin area until swelling is down," the boy's mother told The Monitor.

The family told The Monitor that they are staying with relatives but they fear retaliation.

"We’re just traumatized,” the mother told The Monitor. "We can’t even close our eyes. We’re just having flashbacks and everything.""

This young boyman stood up to three armed men to protect his mother who was in the bedroom with him, and his sister was hiding in the kitchen. This young man refused to be a victim and did the job of a grown man, he protected his family. I wish him a speedy recovery, the best of luck and my utmost respect.

RWE Practices the Second Amendment

I have been very busy slaving away in the salt mines, banging out tests on an eCommerce website. This entails something I am not used to anymore, working weekends. Yeah, yeah, I can hear all your hearts breaking out there in the bloggosphere. I woke up and went about my morning routine. At twenty until eight, coffee in hand, I kissed the wife, and headed out the door. I went down the stairs and headed to my car, which was parked in the parking lot across the street. It was then that I noticed that there was someone sitting in my car. I am now thinking, "No Way!" I am in such a state of shock, that I have to double check that, a, this is actually my car, and b, that there was some dude I did not know sitting there, in MY car.

I put my bag and coffee down on the trunk of my wife's car ,which was parked in the driveway, and went back inside the house. I decided to offer this impromptu socialist, intent on redistributing some of my wealth, a bit of the "New America" that Dear Leader has promised us all. I grabbed the phone, dialed 911, retrieved my security system and jacked a shell into the chamber. I returned to my car "Hoping" to catch this guy and "Change" him into a corpse.

I surprised this dip-shit, jammed my shotgun under his nose and yelled, "What's up meth-head!" Still on the phone, the dispatcher is rather concerned at this point, and I can hear her yelling for me to talk to her. This douche then moves a bit and I yell a warning to not move and cast an aspersion on his possible fornication with his mother. At some point the guy just takes off running. I yell for him to stop, then to come back and finally not to make me chase him. He, of course, keeps running. I decide that the local district attorney might be just contrary enough to decide it was murder if I popped a shot into the guy's back, you never can tell with district attorneys.

So I quickly switch 911 over to the cell phone, and take off after my new bestest friend. I feel it necessary at this point to tell you that from the police station, I live sixty yards as the crow flies, or three hundred yards as the perp runs. The police busted this idiot just as he rounded the corner, and dispatch told me that they were requesting my presence. I arrive on the scene, and find out from the officer that this person had spent the night in my car because he was too drunk to make it home, and it was too cold to pass out just anywhere. The officer asked me if anything was missing from my car, like my stereo. I told the cop that is my friend had taken my stereo, then the joke was definitely on him. In the interest of fairness I must now describe my car to you. I drive a '93 Buick Regal Custom that has definitely seen better days. It has a factory stereo of 4"x4" in dash variety, and the volume knob does not even work. The rest of the car is much the same as I use it only to commute back and forth from work and getting around town.

The officers start to put this guy in their car and I tell him to enjoy jail and possibly compared him to a rectal opening. One of the officers tells me that this was not necessary to which I reply, "I disagree, but alright." The cop and myself go through the vehicle to catalog the damage. This guy smoked meth in my car, making it smell, stole approximately $1.50 in loose change and broke my cup holder. Honestly some people have no respect for their homes. At this point the cop starts to take his leave, and wishes me to have a better day. Being from the south, and rather worked up, I respond in my Texan drawl, which resurfaces at time such as these, "Hell officer, I done caught me a criminal, it don't get to be a much better day than that." The officer looks at me a little disbelievingly and says, "WOW! Alright then."

I have to admit that this was a particularly fine day because of these events, but my wife is still somewhat mortified that I was out in the street, "waving my shotgun around" and screaming curses at the top of my lungs while my extremely leftist neighbors were out on their porch enjoying their morning coffee. I do not know what she is so worked up over, after all I am not the one breaking into cars. I have also failed to mention, that this guy was so frightened, that he pissed his pants, literally, sometime during these proceedings. I seriously doubt, due to the level of sheer terror that this guy felt, caused by an angry, screaming, cursing, gun wielding red-neck, that he will be returning to my street any time soon. I also fervently hope that this experience will teach him to be more careful about his choice in temporary domiciles in the future.

All-in-all, I am very proud of this guys capture, and my small part therein. It really brightened an otherwise crap day. I offer this advice to my friend, and others of his ilk, beware which car you break into, if you can see my house, you are within range. I have included this guys name and mug-shot so graciously provided by the county jail roster.

Macario I.
Arrested for:
Criminal Mischief II
Criminal Trespass II

-----UPDATE-----
Here is a study in the different between a victim and a predator mentality. After hearing about my Sunday fun, two ladies I work with asked me a question. In all seriousness they asked me why I had to confront my intruder with a shotgun. Not getting what they really meant I answered equally serious, "Because the pistols were too far away, and the .22 is too small and ineffective." Neither of us understood the others statement, but at least my answer will get me home at the end of the day instead of in a bag at the morgue.

Don't Think it Can't Happen Here


The woman pictured above is Fiona Pilkington. formerly of Barwell, Leicestershire, England. Fiona supposedly committed suicide with her eighteen year-old disabled daughter by setting themselves on fire in the family Nissan Micra. She felt driven to kill her daughter and herself because a gang of street thugs had been terrorizing her family for over a decade. Self immolation is an odd way to kill oneself, unless you are a protesting Buddhist monk, so I will not hesitate to postulate that these "feral children" possibly killed these two women, but the police have ruled it a suicide. I do feel that there is cause to be dubious about any conclusions drawn by the local police, and soon you will too. These little bastards threw rocks, flour and eggs at her house, trampled her hedges, urinated on her house, verbally abused her and her daughter and severely beat her son then locked him into a shed where he was held at knife point. Further to the other actions, they put dog excrement and firecrackers through her door by way of the letterbox, set her fence on fire, threatened to kill her son and screamed at the family in the middle of the night. To make matters worse, this woman called the police more than thirty times, wrote to two Members of Parliament and her councilmen. What did they police do for her? They gave her a diary so that she could track the incidents. I have to say that this was obviously not very effective at ending the problem. The cops did nothing to help this poor woman, but tell her she was over reacting. In fact at the inquiry one cop made the following statement, "[L]ow-level hooliganism is no longer the responsibility of the police." This woman may have taken her own life, but she was murdered by an unfeeling police force, an uncaring legal system and a gang of thugs. In one of life's twisted bits of irony, the police have given police protection to the family of some of boys that drove this poor woman to insanity. Now that the inquest is done, those that didn't care until there was public outcry are now looking for someone to blame, and they have apparently settled on the police. Pictured below is Alex Simmons the ring-leader of this bunch of murderous thugs.


In America, this story would not have gone down this way. The headline on my blog would read, "Terrorized Woman Cures Lead Deficiency for Violent Thug." Fiona would have purchased a gun and sent this little bastard to hell, but seeing as how the police would not help and that guns are all but illegal in England all that happens is the police get chided and this skid mark gets police protection from his righteously angry neighbors. This whole mess is shameful.

As the title reads, don't think it can't happen here. There is a whole group of pansies, who because they fear guns want to take them from the hands of the law abiding, who simply want to protect themselves and their families. They pray everyday that The Chosen One will ban all guns outright. So what is the problem? The police are here to protect you, aren't they? WRONG! You, citizen, have NO presumption of police protection. SCOTUS has ruled on this time and again. This is even true in the fascist cities that ban guns. So what can we do? How do we protect ourselves, our spouses or our children when seconds count and the police are just minutes away? Well the answer is obvious, shot the bastards down. It is time to insist on our rights. Demand that your state enact the castle doctrine if they have not already done so. Demand shall-issue permits. Tell the gun-grabbers, "HANDS OFF!" Demand your rights as a free American. I live in an armed household. Even my eight year old owns a rifle and knows how to use it. If we do not stand up for our rights brothers and sisters, then I invite you to reread the story of Fiona Pilkington. Look at Europe and their restrictive laws, because if we do not stop the liberals now, therein lies our future. Do not think for a second that this can not happen here in America, everyday we limp closer to becoming a second Europe.

Words of Wisdom

A gun in the hand is worth more than a whole police department on the phone.

Just one more way the world is going to hell.

Today I heard that some whack job on a bus in Canada lost his shit on a bus and stabbed the guy in the next seat like 40 times, then lopped of his head. Having ridden on a Greyhound bus, I understand the urge to do grievous bodily harm to some jerk that is unfamiliar, even is passing, with the concepts of soap and water and their uses in personal hygiene. What I don't understand is why not one person even attempted to stop this scholarship student at the giggle academy from hurting some kid who was just listening to his iPod. This is proof, at least to my mind, that the damn Canadians are no better than the French. Personally I think that in many places here in the US people would have run like sheep too, until I remember how it is in a sensible place like back home. In Texas this asshole would have been shot before he could stab this kid more than a few times. There would have been little need for the police, just a coroner and a body bag. Just goes to show people suck and it's only getting worse out there. You can only depend on yourself for your safety and society has forgotten that the best cure for a rabid animal is a well placed bullet.
