OBAMA - 7 & 1/2 YEARS.........??,

This evening's newscast on Bill O'Reilly, it was mentioned that " our president is a Socialist and most of the public doesn't know it. In fact, recent statistical data from on University source says 49% of the public, when scientifically polled, doesn't know what "Socialism" is or what it does. " It just sounds cool.
     Another polling company today said for the first time in our history, the majority of Americans do NOT believe in Capitalism, the majority believes Socialism should take first place, yet, most don't understand what it is.
     Hillary Clinton, in a debate was asked about gun control and her take on Australia's ability on handing guns. ( last year, total confiscation, no exceptions) Her answer, " I'll have to consider it once I'm in office."
     Obama has stepped in to Unisex bathrooms in public schools. That means sexually confused young men showering in your daughter's locker rooms at school, after tennis practice. First time for everything.
     The Prez has stripped the military out of  Billion dollars of funds, so much so they are de-nuding good airplanes in storage for parts, just to keep what's left of their flying units in the air. He also has frustrated the hell out of the military theater commanders by ordering them NOT TO FIRE back on enemies unless our attorneys are consulted first. Strict orders have been issued they re NOT allowed to fire back.
     Apparently this has increased our casualty count. George Bush spent/spends a lot of time with the American soldier wounded in battle. Obama spends a lot of time on the golf course. All of the Generals on staff when he walked into office have been fired, retired or demoted out of Washington. Compliant, manipulative, controllable senior officers gliding through to their retirement have been placed in positions where they can be counted on by Obama to "yes" him to death when needed. On occasion, stories float down Constitution Avenue about such times, and the aftermath of his obtuseness and subsequent foul ups.
     Koskinen at the IRS, the VA from General Kinsecki onward, and the plethora of Federal Agencies showed by media stories of ineptitude, waste, fraud, cheating, abuse and lying, pepper the national conscience to a state of epidemic depression.
     Despite the Big-Lie on the Economic Front, recent studies show about two thirds of all Americans cannot raise a measely grant for a hospital bill, car accident or other emergency. That goes for practically ANYONE in practically any income bracket.
     Race relations are at an all-time crappy low, and I can be an accurate judge of that, having grown up in south Philadelphia during the 60's. Black gangs roamed my school from elementary to senior high school from 3 grade to graduation day. It was a tough way to live in the 50s. (...the good ole days, my foot. It was the " Blackboard Jungle).

Cartoons on Guns and GUN CONTROL

The cartoon was about gun violence with Obama in the first panel moaning about it running rampant in the country. He says, I've got to do something to help make people safer.
    The second panel shows him with the statue of the Patriot standing next to him, covered with presidential citations that say, " Presidential Citations'' labeled Gun Control Edicts covering the entire face of the statue.
    In that 2nd panel, he says, " There, that will make the people feel safer." (sure.)
    In the latest AARP monthly newsletter, an article outlining the rapid growth of handguns in the elderly community in America, NOT rifles - handguns - big ones. It said the reason the retired market is buying handguns is " they've become jittery " what with the rise of world-wide violence and domestic unrest.
    AUSTRALIA has demanded a total ban on guns, issued an edict to turn them in or go to jail. Apparently, the sheep (citizens) have done just that. Press from down under has published photos of tractor trailers jammed with guns of all types on the way to....we assume destruction. But, it was unclear. Press reports from Sydney tell the public, " you have one last chance to turn in your guns, or face JAIL." (emphasis mine).
    HILLARY CLINTON, presumed Democratic Presidential Candidate, while campaigning in the mid-west, was asked the question about her probably policy on gun control if/when elected to the presidency. She replied that she would probably " heavily consider the Australian system."
    We know the Aussie System as Gun Confiscation by the central government, which the National Rifle Association has been warning America for at least the last 30 years. Now, the Queen of Benghazi, openly declares it's on the table if elected to the most powerful position in the world.

Life in Australia --- This is Real, not romantic

He walked into the Museum one Saturday recently and spent a lot of time talking with me about life, "down-under." Food, housing, land-mas, ages, families, the 'other inhabitants and such, what it was like to live on a land-mass as big as America.
     Imagine his country, the exact same size as America, BUT, 80% of the 17 million population - yeah, that's it - live within 25 miles of the coast along the northeast and eastern boarder. He told me, that's like having everyone you know living from Boston to  Atlanta crammed from the beach in as far as you can drive  for  an hour.
     And, that's it.... after that, you're on your own.
     Australia and America are about the same size, he told me, so, if you live on the beach in Jersey and you start to drive west bound towards Chicago at 8 in the morning, by lunch, you see nobody. Zip, no cars, zero.
     All of this in a land where carrying a gun is illegal. My Aussie friend, "Joe" says that pistols are a big NO-NO down under. Carry one it's jail. Rifles, you'd better belong to a shooting club and prove it. One can always get a license for a shotgun to go hunting. But, that's it.
     Joe says, drive an hour west into the center of Australia, and no one is there. The entire center of the country is devoid of population. " A large city to us is one with 2,000 people in it." What a place this country must be, I think to myself!!. I ask him, what happens if you are deep within the interior and you get into trouble? What form of back up do you have? He avoids the questions about fire-arms until I press the point.
     He answers, " Many Aussies hide pistols, even though it is illegal."
    Crime rates are going up in Australia, yes, the lax, liberal government is noting with the usual degree of frustration that the gun laws don't seem to work for the people who violate them, since criminal elements go ahead and
violate both civil, criminal laws and the public at large anyway.
    Here in Arizona, open gun laws - the freedom to carry concealed and/or open guns has been the order of the day for nearly two years. NRA and other enthusiasts have been taking informal polls of various police officers since the law was enacted, and, trends have been noted that gun crimes are down, and as one officer noted, " it's been quieter in Tucson since everyone can safely assume everyone else MAY be carrying a weapon.
    Joe, the Australian seems amazed at the local civility.
