Gun Manufacturers now shielded from Lawsuits

Well, the United States Senate has voted 65-31 on a bill which will protect gun manufacturers from being sued by victims of gun related crimes. Makes perfect sense to me. The gun manufactures do not commit the crime, they do not encourage the crime, they do not have anything to do with the crime. Punish the criminals.

I am sure the lawyers are all up in arms, as this blocks them from exploiting another opportunity to back the courts up with frivolous lawsuits, and filling their own pockets at the expense of others.

Now, I own 1 gun, and it doesn’t even work. It was handed down to me by my grandmother when she died. It was my grandfather’s, so I keep it for sentimental value. I personally do not like guns, but I recognize every citizen’s constitutional right to own guns. I am a firm believer in the “guns don’t kill, people kill” philosophy. So this type of legislation is a good thing, as it keeps stupid lawsuits out of the courts. I just wish more of this stuff could be passed.

Perhaps, we could get the Senate to vote on a measure that would Shield restaurants from lawsuits from people who burn themselves with hot coffee. Note that I said burn themselves. Hot coffee is hot folks. I guess some people missed that memo.

Why do liberals fear Christianity?

I opened up an edition of the "Limbaugh Letter", and the first article was titled "Liberals' "Theocracy" Paranoia". Before I even read the article, I began to reflect back on how the liberals in this country perceive Christianity or any other faith. I also tried to put this in the perspective of the liberal rhetoric of being tolerant and sensitive to other's feelings and beliefs. What I have concluded is in the realm of religion, particularly Christianity, as well as other areas of debate, liberals are more intolerant than those they claim to be intolerant.

The fact is many liberals are only tolerant on the issues they want to be tolerant. They have a selfish, inward view of specific issues, and those who are not in agreement are considered to be intolerant. Liberals, in fact, are everything they say they are against. They use politics, public education, and the courts to force their ideology on others. But, the one place they have not been able to make this happen is in the Church. Now why would that be?

Unlike liberal ideology, Christianity has a solid foundation upon which has withstood the test of time. It is not an ideology, but a practice by which the individual, through fellowship, study, and prayer, comes to understand God and the world around. It is in the study of Christianity, that a sense of moral understanding is created. Christianity teaches, through historical reference, as well as through the wisdom of Christ, the nature of sin, and its affects on us individually and as a society. Christianity reveals a path in which each of us can follow to achieve moral and spiritual happiness. Christianity teaches, tolerance, respect for others, respect for ourselves, respect for all things of this earth, and respect for God.

So, why do liberals fear Christianity? Well, I just gave you the reasons. Liberals disguise their true nature by giving a false sense of compassion and tolerance. They want people to feel like they are caring and sensitive to everyone's needs and feelings. The truth is liberals can be summarized in a single sentence. Liberals want total freedom without responsibility. That is why they fear Christianity. Christianity advocates freedom and choice, but at the same time teaches that with freedom and choice come responsibility and consequences. Liberals want a government shelter to protect them from responsibility and the consequences to their actions. Liberals are afraid of choice and consequence. For example, on the issue of HIV and AIDS liberals believe that government should spend all this money and time on research and development of drugs to treat and cure HIV and AIDS. We are taught that this is the moral and right thing to do so alleviate suffering of those who have the disease. Of course, this is the moral thing to do. If we can prevent someone's suffering then we have a moral obligation to help them and not judge them.

However, there are two sides to the coin. In ALMOST all cases of HIV and AIDS, the disease has been spread through inappropriate sexual practices or IV drug usage. By focusing so much on treating the symptoms, we have ignored the source of the problem, which reveals a cure. The cure for the disease is to abstain from sex until marriage, and have only 1 sexual partner in life, or abstain from the use of drugs. This requires no medication and no doctors, and can be afforded by anyone of any economic class. Just a simple life choice and the disease will go away over time. If you are HIV positive or have AIDS, you should not be having sex with anyone. If you are unmarried, you should avoid having sex. Christianity teaches this principle, because history has revealed the dangers of such actions. These teachings are not designed to make life miserable. The teachings are designed to protect life.

This is just 1 example of how liberals do not want to accept the truth of how Christianity invokes a sense of responsibility and morality to solve a problem, because they believe people should be able to live their questionable lifestyles without bearing responsibility for their actions. And to make it worse, the tax payers are left with the bill.

I am not advocating that government should try to become the great judge of people who exhibit such dysfunctional behavior. I am not advocating the forcing of religious beliefs on to those who do not want to accept them. What I am addressing is the fact that there are people of great moral character, who have obtained such great moral purpose from their faith. And since that moral character and those beliefs of responsibility, honesty, faithfulness stem from a religious source, the liberals are going to attack it, as it teaches values which they reject.

What you do to yourself in the privacy of your home or residence is your business. By the same token, it should not be the government’s responsibility to bail you out when you screw up. Take responsibility for your screw-up and be an example for others so they may not follow in the same path. When people start taking responsibility, then problems like poverty, racism, AIDS, and other major issues in today’s world will start slipping away into nothingness.

British terrorist threat a lie?

Well, we've seen the terrible pictures in the news. We've seen the destruction and the suffering that is taking place, right now, in Britain, as a series of terrorist bombings have taken place London. Michael Moore would probably say that there is no terrorist threat in Britain, that it is a lie. I guess what we are seeing and reading in the media is all a hoax, just like 9/11. 9/11 must have been a good hoax, coz I was in NYC 2 weeks ago, and I noticed the World Trade Center towers were missing. It must have been a David Copperfield job.

Well, there is a real terrorist threat, in America and all over the world. Mr. Moore knows this, and accept its. Why do I say this? Because Mr. Moore is capitalizing on the weak minded liberals. His books, movies, articles, are full of misrepresented facts and lies that play on those liberals world wide. He irresponsibly spins the facts and information, and reports, what I call, factfiction. Mr. Moore is a very intelligent man, and he knows how to play to his audience. He knows what his audience wants to hear, and he is not above lies and deception to reach more readers, watchers, and listeners. Those are the people who are making him rich. The people who can not form their own opinions, but need people like Moore to feed them their opinions. He knows it, he takes advantage of it.

The Bush Administration has been a big boost to Mr. Moore's economic success. The liberals in this country hate Bush so much that they will spend their money on almost anything that is anti-Bush. Anyone who is anti-Bush, with some creativity and modest effort, could probably rake in a few hundred thousand dollars easily.

Anyway, the terrorist threats in this world are real, and today's bombings in London are a grim reminder of how evil some people can be. Unfortunately, this will blow over quickly and people, like our politicians, will return to their superficial arguing over unimportant issues, and ignore the big issues because they are afraid to take any action towards resolution. Most politicians are afraid to make any real decisions, making them terrible leaders.

Terrorism is not going to go away, until we kill as many of them as possible and make the terrorist afraid of us. Thank god we at least have a president who realizes that. Sure terrorist are not afraid to die, as they, in many cases, commit suicide attacks. But they have fear. Every human has fear. The key is discover and exploit that fear.

The liberals all talk about how we need the rest of the world to work together, that the U.S. and Britain should not go at this alone. Well, they are right. We are just waiting for the rest of the world to wake up and get behind us.

To the people in Britain, I give my condolences for any suffering and losses that you may have suffered. I surely hope those involved in these terrible acts will be brought to justice and receive the most extreme punishment the law will allow.
