It broke yesterday that Rahm Emanuel and the City of Chicago wrote a $399,950 check to the 2nd Amendment Foundation for the City of Chicago violating our right to keep and bear arms.  The $399,950 check was reimbursement for legal fess incurred by the 2nd Amendment Foundation while fighting and winning the McDonald v. Chicago case before the United States Supreme Court.

It turns out that now the 2nd Amendment Foundation will lead the appeal of a U.S. District Court decision that upheld the State of Illinois’s ban on legally carrying a concealed weapon.  Thanks to Rahm Emanuel and the City of Chicago now the 2nd Amendment Foundation has even more funds to help fight this key case defending our right to keep and bear arms.

Illinois is the only state in the union that outright bans a law abiding citizen from carrying a concealed weapon.  Below is a map that lays out the varied laws of the states regarding concealed carry.  Before carrying in another state do your own research on the laws of the land.

Thank God I live in Texas where our elected officials respect and embrace the 2nd amendment!

Rahm Emanuel and the City of Chicago wrote a $399,950 check to the 2nd Amendment Foundation for the City of Chicago violating our right to keep and bear arms.  Hat tip to Ted Cruz for pointing this out on his facebook page, the post has over 3,000 likes.

Thanks to Rahm’s attempted gun grabbing overstep, the City of Chicago is now funding the next round of litigation defending our right to keep and bear arms.  Thanks Rahm!

The master of “flip flop” has taken a sharp left curve in his attempt to buy some more gay votes. The past three years he’s not only kicked the African Community under the bus he turned his back on them once he got their votes in 2008. Why has Obama devoted much of our money and time on the Gay Community?

The Gay Community is pretty pleased with their present status quo at this time. Along with the Liberal News Media and Reverend Wright, they have been quiet about the assassinations of two gay men from Reverend Wrights’ church after Obama announced his run for President of the USA in 2007.

Michelle is very tight lipped about her husband and Rahm Emanuel’s antics at the men’s club (Man’s Country). They both carry a lifetime membership to one of uptown Chicago’s grand old gay bathhouses. The story goes that Obama’s attraction to Man’s Country was for one reason only; he was infatuated with older white males and Man’s Country was a great hideout for one who isn’t quite what we’d call “Straight.” Would those white men who played footsey with Obama, please stand up, just kidding of course? No man is his right mind would share such intimate information!

In 2008, Obama refused to endorse marriage equality for same-sexes and his gospel tour in 2007 was composed of anti – gay bigots. The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community was more than a little riled. Now due to his dismal polls, Mr. Flip Flopper realizes that he’s in dire need of the gay communities’ votes. The problem in 2008 was this – Obama needed to cozy up with the African American community because he knew that a large percentage of them felt homosexuality was “unacceptable.”

So now in 2012, he’s aggressively trying to entrap the gay community again – only time will tell if they buy into his garbage. But, the gay community knows that Obama has fulfilled his promise by repealing the “Don’t Ask – Don’t Tell” an 18 year old policy that had protected our Military.

He flipped flopped from supporting marriage equality (between man and women) and now is backing “civil unions.” He helped Rhode Island Mayor David Cicilline join our legislative body along with Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin and Jared Polis.

The Uniting American Families Act was introduced in both houses of Congress, meaning that gay and lesbian Americans could sponsor their permanent partners for legal residency in the United States.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a memo April 6 encouraging child welfare agencies to better serve the needs of “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth” in the foster care system. They encouraged welfare agencies to use Federal funds for training staff.

Pages could be written on the many changes for the Gay Community made during Obama’s term in the White House. He pretty much has the gay communities votes stuffed in his back pocket.

But, several major problems remain for Obama – many members in our African American Community are not buying into his class warfare strategies. The Black Caucus is rethinking his ability to lead and realize that during his term their communities have become poorer, less jobs and he’s spending more time socializing with his bundlers, the Unions, the Special Interest groups and very little time with them.

Could it be that the African American Community, Hispanic Community and our youth recognize that his campaign this year isn’t about the “Audacity of Hope?” Reverend Irene Monroe was so angry with Obama that she once called his campaign “Audacity of Hypocrisy.” Many are starting to realize that Obama is a Vote Whore, nothing more or nothing less.

Will his billion dollar campaign along with the Liberal News Media’s support buy his second term in office? Under normal circumstances the answer to that question might be yes, but this isn’t normal circumstance Americans have a winning hand this year.

We have an ace in the hole that Obama can’t buy, or demolish, the Liberal News Media can’t defame, Eric Holder can’t sue and Democrats can’t remove from our hearts. God is alive and well; he will see us through the coming year.

May God Bless Our Nation

And I’m not alone. No, not by several long-shots. I’m tired of watching good people be chewed up by the unholy alliance between the left and its symbiont, the Lame Stream Press. What bothers me even further is that ‘Republicans’ seldom, if ever, rally around one of our own. The RINO Republican establishment types quake in their boots every time an attack is launched against one of our people.

Such timidity may make the establishment types feel ‘secure’ and smug in their arrogance, but as we have seen with the establishment’s track record for picking winners… abysmal might fit the description.

I made no bones about my support for Herman Cain, though it fell short of an actual endorsement. Now, Herman Cain has officially withdrawn his candidacy. The perfect storm of bimbo eruptions bursting around him would have disrupted any campaign. It’s pretty obvious to me that this entire satire has been engineered by, and for, the Obama White House with the  help of a few ‘friends’ like David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel.

The final straw for Herman was the last bimbette trotted out by the left, Ginger White, who, in a fit of timing just all too cozy for belief, claimed to have had a thirteen year cross country affair with Cain which he unequivocally denies. Now, just like all the other claimants, she can’t or won’t specify one single specific date, time or location. She, just like all the others, seems to be a financial basket case. The only thing missing from this charade is the vulture-like Gloria Allred. I guess she lost interest when nothing came of her previous forays.

So it’s pretty obvious I’m still supportive of Herman Cain. It’s also obvious that he could not continue in the face of such an onslaught. It was far too painful for his family and threatened to distract the campaign from its primary purpose. Cain has promised to consider further action against those who have impugned his character and his reputation. I sincerely hope he does.

What’s more, I think we, of the Conservative News Media, need to take the bit in our own teeth and do some plain old hard-nosed investigative reporting. I just know there are some Conservative New Media hard noses around Atlanta who could ferret out the truth about Ms. Ginger. Having done a fair amount of investigative reporting myself, I’ll offer the most obvious of all clues to get you started.
Follow the money.

Conservatives are being asked to consider candidates that we really have visceral differences with. We must keep our focus where it belongs. It is imperative that Barack Hussein Obama is a one term president. Our country and our very culture are at stake. Obama and his thieves have ravaged their way through our economy like Attila and his hordes, leaving desolation and poverty in their wake. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is more important than his, and his party’s, defeat.
