How Scary Is Hillary?

Hillary Clinton VS. God

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore were in an airplane that crashed. They're up in heaven, and God's sitting on the great white throne. God addresses Al first.

"Al, what do you believe in?"

Al replies, "Well, I believe that the combustion engine is evil and that we need to save the world from CFCs and that if any more freon is used, the whole earth will become a greenhouse and we'll all die."

God thinks for a second and says "Okay, I can live with that. Come and sit at my left."

God then addresses Bill. "Bill, what do you believe in?"

Bill replies, "Well, I believe in power to the people. I think people should be able to make their own choices about things and that no one should ever be able to tell someone else what to do. I also believe in feeling people's pain."

God thinks for a second and says "Okay, that sounds good. Come and sit at my right."

God then addresses Hillary. "Hillary, what do you believe in?"

"I believe You're in my chair!"

Gun Rights In Colorado


Smith & Wesson Model SW1911 Pistol

Caliber .45 ACP

There are three Colorado legislative bills coming up next week for Committee Hearings that, if passed, will impact the rights of Coloradoans who hold Concealed Weapons Permits.

Two of the laws, if enacted, will ADVERSELY affect the rights of legal Concealed Weapons Permit holders.

Reciprocity

In Colorado, County Sheriffs are the issuing entities for Concealed Weapons Permits.

However, many Sheriffs in Colorado strongly disagree with the Second Amendment and believe that private citizens shouldn’t have the right to carry a firearm for self-defense. And so they make it as difficult as possible for you to actually obtain a Concealed Weapons Permit.

The Sheriffs who hold this extreme point of view may not necessarily do anything illegal to prevent you from applying for the permit, but they make it quite uncomfortable and inconvenient. One answer to this obstinate resistance is utilizing Colorado’s Reciprocity law.

Current Colorado law (CRS 18-12-213) states that Colorado will recognize a valid permit issued in another state IF the permittee is 21 yrs of age or older AND the other state recognizes Colorado permits as valid in their state.

Senate Bill 07-034, if signed into law, Colorado residents would be barred from using concealed carry permits issued in other states.

Question: If you’ve passed a background check that includes the National Crime Information Center (N.C.I.C.), in another state and you’re issued a Concealed Weapons Permit from that state, why is that not good enough for Colorado?

Answer: The liberal State Legislators now in office, both Democrat and Republican, don’t like guns and they don’t want you to be able to carry one legally. They will do everything they can to ensure that you don’t.

So if you’re prevented from using a legal Concealed Weapons Permit from another state, you will be at the mercy of the extremist Sheriffs I mentioned above. And being the fascists that they are, they will want to keep track of anyone who has the audacity to legally carry a firearm in order to defend themselves adequately.

Orwellian Database

Enter House Bill 07-1174. This bill would allow Colorado County Sheriffs to enter a LEGAL Concealed Weapons Permit holder into the Colorado Crime Information Center, or, C.C.I.C. In effect, it will create a permanent database of LEGAL Concealed Weapons Permit holders so that any law enforcement officer or entity can have access to your information. LEGAL Permit holders will be listed in the same database as CRIMINALS.

If this bill becomes law, how do you think you’ll be treated when and if you’re pulled over for a traffic stop? After reading your name in the C.C.I.C. the police officer will probably pull you out of the car and take you down. Hard. Or with a police officer pointing his own weapon at you, you may be ordered to step out of your car and lay on the ground face down. You know, assume the position.

And yet you haven’t done anything wrong or illegal. But you’re listed in the criminal database based solely on the fact that you are LEGALLY exercising your 2nd Amendment rights.

One bill worthy of support is; SB 07-069

Senate Bill 07-069 prohibits law enforcement agencies from maintaining a statewide concealed handgun permit database.

Prohibiting law enforcement officials from listing you in this database will protect you from being abused or harassed by over-zealous police officers.

It’s a sad but true fact that MANY law enforcement officers do not believe in your right to legally carry a firearm.

Question: Why do you need to carry a gun? Isn’t it up to law enforcement authorities to protect you from assault or murder?

Answer: No. Police are not legally obligated to protect you or defend you. Their legal obligation is to the PUBLIC AT LARGE. Of course, many police officers WILL defend you or protect you, but they have no obligation to do so.

Chances are that at sometime in your life, you or your family will be confronted with physical assault that may result in great bodily harm or death. When that happens you have just a few precious seconds to react. What will you do? If you’re a responsible, trained gun owner who carries a firearm legally, you can protect yourself and your loved ones. When this type of thing happens, you don’t have the time or opportunity to dial 911. It’s up to you to put your training to use.

Heinrich Himmler, Reichsführer of the Nazi SS and Gestapo, once said; "Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA -- ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the state." (Emphasis added.)

Conversion, Dhimmitude, Or Death

While perusing the news this morning I read this article by Aaron Klein of WorldNetDaily.com titled Jews Flee Homes After Muslim Death Threats.

The story goes on to report that about 45 Yemeni Jews left their village in Sa'ada County in Yemen after a local Jewish leader was warned that if Jews didn’t leave within ten days, they were liable to be abducted, and / or killed. Their possessions would be subjected to looting and theft.

Four masked Muslims approached Dawoud Yousuf Mousa and delivered a letter to him warning that the Jewish community had been under Islamic surveillance. The letter contained warnings and threats, and read in part;

"After accurate surveillance over the Jews residing in Al Haid, it has become clear to us that they were doing things which serve mainly global Zionism, which seeks to corrupt the people and distance them from their principles, their values, their morals, and their religion. Islam calls upon us to fight against the disseminators of decay,"

The masked Muslims told Mousa that if the Jews didn’t leave within ten days; "The Jewish community would bear the consequences."

The news story also referred to a second warning letter to the Jewish community stating that; "whoever remains at his home, will be killed or his children will be taken away."

Yemeni Jews have lived in Sa'ada for generations so it’s not as if there was a sudden influx causing a burden on the local population. The Jews are part of the local population.

The uprooted Jewish folks are currently staying at a hotel in Sa'ada. The Yemeni Jews say the government has refused to offer any assistance. No surprise there. They also reported that Muslim intimidation of Jews has been going on for a long time. Still no surprise.

The Deputy Governor of Sadaa, Salem Al Wehayshi, reportedly said the Jews are being asked to “go home.”

"Yes, they received threats from Al Houthi supporters. They are now here in the hotel but I can assure you that the problem will be solved today, and they will return to their villages," Wehayshi said.

And of course, the Jewish Yemenis have to pay a “protection” tax, called the jizya, simply because they are Jewish. Again, no surprise.

This is dhimmitude in action.

Dhimmitude is defined as; (from dhimmitude.org)

The Islamic system of governing populations conquered by jihad wars, encompassing all of the demographic, ethnic, and religious aspects of the political system. The word "dhimmitude" as a historical concept, was coined by Bat Ye'or in 1983 to describe the legal and social conditions of Jews and Christians subjected to Islamic rule. The word "dhimmitude" comes from dhimmi, an Arabic word meaning "protected". Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination. Islamic conquests expanded over vast territories in Africa, Europe and Asia, for over a millennium (638-1683). The Muslim empire incorporated numerous varied peoples which had their own religion, culture, language and civilization. For centuries, these indigenous, pre-Islamic peoples constituted the great majority of the population of the Islamic lands. Although these populations differed, they were ruled by the same type of laws, based on the shari'a.

This similarity, which includes also regional variations, has created a uniform civilization developed throughout the centuries by all non-Muslim indigenous people, who were vanquished by a jihad-war and governed by shari'a law. It is this civilization which is called dhimmitude. It is characterized by the different strategies developed by each dhimmi group to survive as non-Muslim entity in their Islamized countries. Dhimmitude is not exclusively concerned with Muslim history and civilization. Rather it investigates the history of those non-Muslim peoples conquered and colonized by jihad.

Dhimmitude encompasses the relationship of Muslims and non-Muslims at the theological, social, political and economical levels. It also incorporates the relationship between the numerous ethno-religious dhimmi groups and the type of mentality that they have developed out of their particular historical condition which lasted for centuries, even in some Muslim countries, till today.

Dhimmitude is an entire integrated system, based on Islamic theology. It cannot be judged from the circumstantial position of any one community, at a given time and in a given place. Dhimmitude must be appraised according to its laws and customs, irrespectively of circumstances and political contingencies.

Yes, Muslim jihad is here, and the goal is the Islamization of the world.

Muslim jihadists believe you will submit. Either through conversion or dhimmitude.

TomTrancredo For President, 2008

Republican U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo is now considering a run for the Presidency in 2008.

His campaign web site is http://teamtancredo.org/. It’s also listed at the top of my links.

Please take time check it out.

The following text is a letter from Mr. Tancredo, and can be viewed here.

Dear Friend,

I am writing to you today as a friend, and as a fellow believer in the cause of securing America's borders.

My purpose is to obtain your support as I embark upon a path that may lead to the Republican nomination for the presidency of the United States.

The decision to pursue this arduous and undeniably uphill battle is because I, like you, have a duty to do everything I can to keep faith with those who risked their "lives, fortunes and sacred honor" to create this wonderful place we call America.

I am considering this campaign because of my commitment to real immigration reform: reform that first and foremost is dedicated to the security and well-being of the citizens of the United States, and to respect for the rule of law in our beloved nation.

I am also considering this campaign because I believe the Republican Party and its leaders must recommit themselves to limited, smaller government; fiscal responsibility; and honesty in public office.

Last November, the Republican Party paid a high price for abandoning those principles; we will not regain the trust of the voters and a congressional majority until we reclaim them. I am proud that I was one of a handful of Republican members of Congress who voted against both "No Child Left Behind," a federal betrayal of local control of education, and the fiscally irresponsible Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit.

When I was elected to Congress in 1998, I made immigration reform my top priority, much to the scorn and derision of the political and business elites who are addicted to the flow of cheap illegal labor into America.

But, as I look at the current presidential candidates, Republican and Democratic, I simply do not see one who reflects the grassroots, majority belief of Americans that our borders must be secured, that employers who hire illegals must be prosecuted, and that no one who has broken our immigration laws should ever be put on a "pathway to citizenship."

After a lot of prayer, and long talks with my wife Jackie and our children, I have decided I am willing to put myself forward as a candidate for president in order, above everything else, to advance our immigration reform agenda, and to reclaim the Republican Party for its core conservative values.

So, I am seeking your advice and counsel. I am doing so by asking you to answer two questions for me.

* Do you believe I should seek the Republican presidential nomination, to fight to secure our borders and to reassert traditional conservative Republican principles including limited, smaller government, fiscal responsibility and honesty in office?

* Will you back up your support with a financial contribution to my presidential exploratory committee, "Tancredo for a Secure America?"

But this campaign cannot just be about me.

It has to be about securing our nation at its borders, protecting American jobs, respecting our laws and our cultural identity, and reclaiming the Republican Party for its best values.

That means for this campaign to go forward and succeed, it must be about us...you and me.

You and I need to agree that we will work together to battle the special interests which now control both parties, and which are so committed to open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. You and I need to agree that we will dig in, work hard, and raise the money to effectively challenge the deep pockets of the Republican candidates who are talking a good game about immigration, but who are, in fact, supporting amnesty.

If you and I decide I should run, I am not going to ask you to travel with me to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina in the months ahead, on the many weekend and overnight trips away from my family that I will commit my time to between votes in Congress. That will be my job.

But I will count on you to tell your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers and your family about our campaign....and invite them to join it!

And I also will count on you to help me with your financial support, especially now. I simply cannot move ahead without your help, and the help of thousands of patriotic Americans like you. I am ready to be David against the establishment's Goliath, but I need you to help me load my sling-shot!

Thank you for your commitment to the struggle to secure our borders. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Sincerely,

Tom Tancredo

P.S. So many wonderful people in the critical primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have already asked if they could volunteer to help us. There is tremendous excitement building! It would be a big help to me as I make my decision if I could hear back from you as soon as possible.
