Bowing to other nations, apologizing for America's past efforts to stabilize the world, befriending terrorist nations and freeing known terrorists to allow their return to jihad, signing foreign treaties in favor of other nations while breaking down our own rights and welfare, etc, etc, etc.  The list grows every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;On the eve of Obama's election I predicted that if elected, within one year  Obama would have begun his systematic destruction of America as we know it in  favor of his policies of " Change" and those changes would be under the direct  influence of the power that elected him. I also commented that his "following  would begin to decline as they witnessed the falsehood of his campaign  propaganda and deception. Weeks after his miraculous election I cautioned that  no one person could pull off what he promised and that even his hypnotized flock  of mindless desperate wishers of change would eventually rise up against him for  his betrayal. A secondary notion was that it would be his own disheartened or  disappointed "people" that construct his demise, and frame  any one of the many  anti-Obama personalities for the deed. Either the ones that voted for his image  of godliness or those that have no more need for his position of  influence. &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After one year of Obama's misguided administration I am witnessing  the wake-up. Now there are increasing reports, commentaries, and opinions from  individuals and groups of domestic and foreign origin that no longer raise the  Obama wonder boy flag , but are questioning the very elements of his presidency  that many of us non-believers professed one year ago.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the Obama tide has reached its' zenith and is beginning its'  regression. The honeymoon is over and there will be fast, desperate, secret  measures designed to accomplish as much destruction to what is left of Americas'  power and influence as can be orchestrated by the puppet masters in their  attempt to bring the United States of America to its' knees under the will of  United Nations manifest destiny. I believe it is the goal of a group of  individuals including George Soros to tear down the sovereign  American entity  and include it and its' people under the dictatorial rule of their corrupt world  leadership. That is their goal and this administration is playing into their  hands. We have 3 more years to witness our destruction and subjugation if the  people do not rise up against the continual destruction of our Constitutional  rights, our sovereign strength, and our freel will.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have said it before, a Dark Wind is blowing and I call it Obama. The  forces that generate the wind are bent on our destruction, now others are  speaking of it. When the hurricane hits our shores, Katrina will be remembered  as a gentle breeze.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Count your bullets so you can count your blessings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rogue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6859209294004662843-6517632630049648505?l=countyourbullets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/feeds/6517632630049648505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2010/01/puppet-or-president.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/6517632630049648505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/6517632630049648505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2010/01/puppet-or-president.html' title='Puppet or President?'/><author><name>Rogue's Gallery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11120803297042207390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859209294004662843.post-6458071281223732440</id><published>2010-01-06T16:16:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-06T16:20:32.213-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegal aliens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acronyms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACLU'/><title type='text'>A Few Acronyms you won't see on CNN (Commie News Network)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Gee wiz Mr. Gee, one would think you are not in full agreement with the  current administrations Neo Undocumented Reformists Department.

It is my opinion he is still campaigning, only  this time it is for an even loftier pedestal. In his quest for Chairperson of  the New World Order he is selling out America one chunk at a time.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;This is one reason I believe that in the very near future, should we  survive the Muslim incarnation fostered by Obama in the next 3 years, the United  States will have become so weak on the international level that it will need the  union of the American continents to compete with the axis powers of  Russia/China/India, and the expanded European Nations run by the Neo 3rd Reich  of Germany. If we have not been subjugated by Islamic political, social and  physical pressure led by their soon to be resurrected Grand Imam Obama, we will  be bled to the point of needing a transfusion of Central American resources  before the U.S. passes out from financial exanguination.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Mexico is on the verge of collapse and 2010 is a prime year for takeover by  any number of internal and foreign elements. The shaky state of our own nation  is an indicator of our need for resource infusion and may be the hidden agenda  behind the illusion of our border control politics and even the so called war on  drugs. How can we claim a victory over the heroin financed war of Afghanistan  that Russia failed to stop, when we can not even manage our own back  door cocaine traffic?&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;There is a big picture that is being clouded by the mind boggling minutia  of world events and the "need to know" practice of big politics. We are being  satiated with a cornucopia of drama so we just can't see the forest for all the  trees in the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rogue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6859209294004662843-9052922134926203190?l=countyourbullets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/feeds/9052922134926203190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-happened-to-my-superpower.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/9052922134926203190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/9052922134926203190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-happened-to-my-superpower.html' title='What happened to my superpower?'/><author><name>Rogue's Gallery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11120803297042207390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859209294004662843.post-2262363573985961237</id><published>2009-12-02T11:27:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-12-02T11:34:35.454-07:00</updated><title type='text'>American Islamic Movement</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt; I have written several commentaries ( the first one 7 years ago) that suggested  the possibility of major disruption within American social behavior, financial  collapse and deterioration of the World Dollar Standard, government intrusion  and takeover, foreign power intervention, natural disasters, and eventual  breakdown of society as we know it, all culminating by the year 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;     I correlated indicators from historical patterns of fallen empires,  increasing natural disasters and climate change,legends and theories of Mayans,  Egyptians, Biblical Revelation, Astronomical patterns such as the Orion  prophecy, as well as predictions from possible lunatics such as Nostradamus.  I  spread them all out and while comparing them to our then current and continually  evolving political and social dilemmas, saw a remarkable similarity. Be it  co-incidence, prophecy, or evolution, it all pointed to a major disruption of  America and it's status with the rest of the world by 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;     Since my first rhetorical notation on my research, we have witnessed a  drastic negative climate change, radically mutating  diseases infecting the  world, increased terrorist attacks and genocide, escalating  &lt;span&gt;un-winnable&lt;/span&gt; wars in the Middle East, with the most radical  terrorist states either in possession of or acquiring nuclear weapons,  free-falling world economies through greed and corruption of the world financial  leaders, the continual decline of the Dollar as a world currency standard, and  finally, the election of a puppet Muslim president whom is systematically  destroying America from within its' own government. Is it all co-incidence? Is  It co-incidence that Muslim born , raised, and educated Obama was elected within  the term that expires or renews in 2012 ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;     Entire American cities such as Dearborn, Michigan, are being taken  over by Muslim immigrants. Now I agree that for the most part the communities  are non radical Muslims just looking for a better way of life than they could  possibly have in their own countries, but by their religion they are united and  guided through the rule of their politically powerful Imam religious leaders.  Since their religion mandates the conversion or destruction of all non-Muslims,  and deceit, deception, lies, corruption, open hatred, mayhem, violence, terror ,  suicide, and murder are all tools of their religion mandated war they lovingly  call Jihad, the majority of non radical Muslims will be the harbor for the  terrorist cells that are actively organizing and training right now for the  upcoming conflict. This is the way it happens in their own countries and it will  be the way it happens in the U.S. of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;      I believe that we have NOT had a major attack in recent years because  they have been instructed by the Imam chain of command to wait and build the  infrastructure within America until they have sufficient numbers of jihadists  prepared within our shores to carry out an effective nation wide strike. The  small attempts we have intervened on were perpetrated by independents or were  diversions to pacify the anti-terrorist authorities to keep them off the main  path. Islam is a religion that is driven by a directive to conquer through war  and death of the infidels. These are not stupid people. Suicidal and sadistic  yes, but not stupid.They have thousands of years experience at war and unlimited  imagination backed by total commitment at the loss of their own lives because to  them all lives are expendable as the cost of their successful rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;     I am suggesting that in 2012  Obama will either be re-elected and  continue Islamizing and breaking down the strength of America for his puppet  agendas,( backed by the wealthy, powerful elites that sleep in the Lincoln room  of the White House like George Soros), or through wealthy and powerful world  wide Islamic connections Obama will become the political leader of the  American Islamic Movement ( A.I.M. the name I have given them)  and eventually  the leader of the  Jihad for American Islamic Liberation ( J.A.I.L. ,again a  name I have coined ), or thirdly, be &lt;span&gt;assassinated&lt;/span&gt; by any number of  enemies or his own allies for the failure of political promise, in which case he  will become a martyr for one side of the upcoming revolution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has publicly  announced the need for his private army and training facilities are in operation  already . He has been, and will continue to be financed by super  wealthy Anti-American world figures that he is using his political position to  protect and further enrich (George Soros and the billions of American dollars  used to expand the Soros financial empire). He will use deception and lies to  dupe the American people and politicians into allowing his army to be assembled  " for the protection of Obama's America". He has publicly stated his fear of the  American "Bubba effect" comprised of American citizens sworn to uphold the  Constitution against all attacks FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, American ex-military, law  enforcement, members of pro freedom groups, 2nd Amendment supporters like the  NRA, militias, or citizen gun owners that oppose his omnipotent rule. Obama has  selected the biggest bunch of criminals and deviants since Adolf Hitler as his  agenda czars, and has somehow "lost track of trillions of stimulus money that  vanished without published knowledge.( So much for transparent government under  Obama). He has appointed the anti American, illegal immigrant loving, drug  cartel allied Janet Napolitano as the head of the most corrupt enforcement  agency in the U.S. and she has publicly label-led the Bubbas as potential  terrorists.When a Muslim terrorist that has been bought and paid for by the tax  dollar becomes a psychiatrist Major in the U.S. military, and goes on his own  jihad, Obama says we should not jump to conclusions. Of course not ! Because the  conclusion would open the eyes of sleeping America ! He down plays it and the  investigation that shows the government agencies responsible for screening,  investigating and protecting America from terrorists had prior knowledge of that  terrorists inclinations but did NOTHING ! Just because he was claiming to be  Muslim and Obama does not  want to offend the Muslims the Obama loving media is  instructed to move on to Obama positive issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Seven years ago I  began writing some radical commentaries on the direction I saw America moving .  Some readers laughed at my "paranoia", some shook their heads in denial and said  " never happen". As the years proved my suspicions and research correct, I  acquired more interested readers. Now I am making some new crazy predictions  based on history, current events, biblical prophecy, and gut feelings. I am  quite sure that once again I will be regarded as a doomsday nut-bag but this  time I hope those readers are correct. If they are wrong and I am right, within  2 or 3 years we will be smack in the middle of our own hometown Islamic jihad  with Obama as the Dictator,George Soros as the banker, the Clintons as  the Devils Ambassadors, Napolitano as the Commander of Obama's Goon Squads,  Pelosi as the Speaker of Hell House and Nuclear Weapons as the sword of  destruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;     Count your bullets so you can count your blessings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rogue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6859209294004662843-2262363573985961237?l=countyourbullets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/feeds/2262363573985961237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2009/12/american-islamic-movement.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/2262363573985961237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/2262363573985961237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2009/12/american-islamic-movement.html' title='American Islamic Movement'/><author><name>Rogue's Gallery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11120803297042207390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859209294004662843.post-3345121470657732139</id><published>2009-09-27T22:54:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-09-27T22:57:48.837-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vietnam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='torture'/><title type='text'>I'll Give You Something to Cry about...</title><content type='html'>&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;     While serving with the 82nd Airborne Division during the  Vietnam conflict I was sent for training to the Jungle Warfare School in Panama.  Part of the curriculum was escape and evasion, and various known methods of  mental and physical torture we could expect if captured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     During one day  of maneuvers when I was performing rather poorly in the sweltering mountainous  jungle of " jump back bush", "I got you vines" and  " &lt;span&gt;cut'cha&lt;/span&gt;  grass", where everything either bites, stabs or stings you, it was my  unfortunate destiny to be captured by the "aggressor forces".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     We had  been warned what might happen if captured, but after all, these guys were on our  side, just pretending to be the bad guys.............right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     If memory  serves me correctly, after a few minutes of " pretend interrogation" I was ready  to sing like a canary being led into a Kentucky coal mine. I wasn't  water-boarded, I was water-barreled.  I was crammed butt-naked into a barrel of  water,  the lid placed on top, then left to "chill" for a spell. After a  reasonable aging period the small fill hole of the barrel was opened and as the  interrogation continued, water was slowly poured in &lt;span&gt;to top&lt;/span&gt; off  my  cramped metallic womb. It didn't take long for me to realize that my lips needed  to be about 3 inches longer in order for me to suck air from that fill hole  because my cup was full and it &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;runneth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; over. After  each session of questions the lid was replaced and I was re-introduced to a  combination of confusing sensory deprivation and total panic. It was bone  chilling cold, total blackness (it being as dark outside the barrel as was  inside ), and the water muffled sound of my straining muscles thumping against  the walls of my tin prison, as I tried desperately to stay aligned with the ever  filling vent hole, all the while wondering how long before I would  collapse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     I knew they would never deliberately let me drown. After all,  we were in the same training exercise and they were just trying to educate me as  to what I could expect if captured by the real enemies.  At that time however,  it really didn't matter who was doing it or why, I was fighting for my life with  each impossible breath. What if I panicked and they couldn't pull me out fast  enough? The psychological strain made the physical demands even more  grievous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     When that acute insult finally ended, I was introduced to  other nefarious methods of coercion intended to elicit my loyal co-operation  that made my barrel baptism seem like a cool dunk in a country swimming hole.  When I was finally released to my patrol team I knew for a fact that the only  way I would be captured by any genuine enemy force was if I was rendered  unconscious during the battle, my resolve was to die fighting rather than endure  a real attempt on my fortitude. If my training was any indication of the  niceties of torture, I was quite certain I wanted no part of the sadistic  methods devised by our enemies that are far more degenerate than water-boarding.  I offer my respect, thanks and salute of tribute to those American heroes that  suffered the real thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I wonder if the undeserved Commander in Chief of  our armed forces would be amenable to a little hands on torture education so he  can better judge what is and isn't acceptable  interrogation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-  Rogue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6859209294004662843-3345121470657732139?l=countyourbullets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/feeds/3345121470657732139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2009/09/ill-give-you-something-to-cry-about.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/3345121470657732139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/3345121470657732139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2009/09/ill-give-you-something-to-cry-about.html' title='I&apos;ll Give You Something to Cry about...'/><author><name>Rogue's Gallery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11120803297042207390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859209294004662843.post-6221160402459615222</id><published>2009-09-04T09:42:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2009-09-27T23:01:19.726-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegal aliens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='welfare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='socialism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drug test'/><title type='text'>URINE or You're Out!</title><content type='html'>&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt; &lt;div&gt;Recently I was randomly selected two weeks in a row to provide a urine  specimen for employee drug screening at Southeastern Arizona Medical Center.  I  willingly provided them and of course passed their scrutiny--to refuse is an  automatic dismissal from employment.  Then  I watched as the Welfare Wonder patients reported night after night in every imaginable state of drug and  alcohol intoxication for their free medical care, while I am informed by my  place of employment that my own medical benefits will be reduced at the very  place I work.  The reason given by the administration for cutting my benefits is  that SAMC can't pay for everyone's health care so the ones that are working at  SAMC for their income (to provide care for the health of the community) will have their benefits reduced to pay for the community's health care  needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That my friends is Socialism in a nutshell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The pending Socialism is further demonstrated by the wage and hour cuts at SAMC that will  serve to reduce the cost of service to the community and increase the workload  of the medical care providers.  More work and less money, all to provide for  those who &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;will not&lt;/span&gt; work, and will not even be providing a urine drug screen to  collect their unearned benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; I must not be a very good person because I do not feel rewarded and  benevolent for my sacrifice.  I feel frustrated, angry, betrayed, and disgusted.   I no longer have an incentive to work, or provide care for the community, and  I question the value of my lifetime dedication and professionalism.  I have been  told I have less value that those I serve so what is the point?&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That my friends is the road we now travel, and it looks mighty rough  ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Rogue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6859209294004662843-6221160402459615222?l=countyourbullets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/feeds/6221160402459615222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2009/09/urine-or-youre-out.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/6221160402459615222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/6221160402459615222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2009/09/urine-or-youre-out.html' title='URINE or You&apos;re Out!'/><author><name>Rogue's Gallery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11120803297042207390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859209294004662843.post-562881110455265684</id><published>2009-04-14T14:40:00.006-06:00</published><updated>2009-09-27T23:05:59.702-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='propaganda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='media'/><title type='text'>Read Between the Lies</title><content type='html'>In his letter entitled &lt;em&gt;Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?, &lt;/em&gt;Orson Scott Card paints a clear picture of how opinionated and self-interested the media can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/honestreporter.asp"&gt;http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/honestreporter.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have long maintained that what we hear and see in the controlled news is just propaganda designed to sell, by manipulated fabrication of the truth.

Justice, righteousness, fairness, and consideraton of the victim played little if any part in the decisions which were often favorable towards the perpetrator of the crime and in my opinion failed the victims.&lt;br /&gt;What I observed were the actions of an under-educated, over-worked system that played party to politics and expediency. I expect that is the same pretty much everywhere in the U.S. especially where the foreign element of Mexican politics is such a dominating force.&lt;br /&gt;Instead of doing what is "right", decisions are made for political expediency and favor, especially when the trial is jury-based and is made up of the illusion of one's peers. That Barnett did not receive a jury of his rancher peers, I am sure of or the outcome would have been much more in his favor.&lt;br /&gt;In my interpretation regarding the charges of assault, since I am not priviledged to the case manuscript, I can not make a decision on it. What I can say is that if there was no threat of life against Barnetts' family, employees, or guests and no felony was committed in his presence (he would have to show burden of proof that the trespassers were illegally here in this country if he was to use immigration as his felon) and he did not give the trespassers an opportunity to leave his property upon his request, he may certainly have demonstrated the act of assault against their persons by holding them at gunpoint. It is a very thin defense that one assumes illegal immigration by simplicity of race or presence at hand and there lies the rub. Since the U.S. federal government treats the illegal immigration felony so lightly as to allow five consecutive acts of illegal immigration before they prosecute the criminal, how can one expect to be vindicated for treating a suspected illegal immigrant as a felony in one's presence? The courts have historically shown legal precedence in not regarding mere illegal immigration as a crime warranting prosecution. Therefore legal precedence would not be in favor of Barnett using a means of lethal force in detaining mere trespassers even if they were in fact illegal immigrants.&lt;br /&gt;A man's home is his castle until the lawyers get involved, then it is up to the best talker, best liar, and hopefully the best interpreter (judge or jury) to make the right decision. But remember that the world is full of stupid people and many of them preside over our rights and freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Rogue&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6859209294004662843-7101912920101217257?l=countyourbullets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/daily/frontpage/110338.php' title='Citizen&apos;s Arrest on Non-Citizens'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/feeds/7101912920101217257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2009/02/citizens-arrest-on-non-citizens.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/7101912920101217257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6859209294004662843/posts/default/7101912920101217257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://countyourbullets.blogspot.com/2009/02/citizens-arrest-on-non-citizens.html' title='Citizen&apos;s Arrest on Non-Citizens'/><author><name>Rogue's Gallery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11120803297042207390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859209294004662843.post-3995576133801652988</id><published>2009-02-16T19:59:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2009-02-16T20:04:49.101-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gun control'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2nd ammendment'/><title type='text'>So Obama promised not to take away the guns, huh?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Well........ he did not promise that his demonic minions would not take them  away.

But if praying were enough, the answers to our needs would already have come to be. It is my humble opinion that most requests for help are best addressed by immediate self action. Conscious thought, decision, and action eliciting a positive reaction are the tools to our survival. It is a law of physics,and therefore a law of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prayer is one of the conscious tools of self action, but it is only one. It is a powerful conduit of communication to our Creator that is often misused. Too many times we just pray and run away, leaving God holding the bag and the blame.
