BENNETT: Two New Angles to Try and Destroy the Country
by Jack Bennett
“The New York Post” as quoted by the Dredge Report said the Obama administration is collecting personal data for a secret race database. The Feds have an unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.”
Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school–all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites. This stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama is using as “disparate impact” cases against banks that don’t make enough loans to minorities; schools that suspend too many blacks; cities that don’t offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities; and employers who turn down African-Americans for jobs due to criminal backgrounds.
Big Brother Barrack wants the database operational before he leaves office, and much of the data in them will be posted online.
And 2. From “The Daily Sheeple”: Obama’s plan to take guns from seniors and the disabled.. Like clockwork, gun control advocates always push their agenda after every mass shooting. The recent shootings in Charleston and Chattanooga are no different.
Due to our government’s failure to keep firearms out of the hands of mass shooters, President Obama has since called for tighter background checks. But this time he wants to utilize the information tied to Social Security beneficiaries.
Basically, those who are incapable of managing their own affairs wouldn’t be able to buy a gun. The new policy would use the same strategy employed by the VA to report certain veterans to the background check system. They take note of anyone who has assigned a fiduciary to manage their pension when they’re not competent enough to do it themselves.
The biggest problem with this strategy is how broad it is. Having a memory loss or a brain injury would be enough to keep you from buying a gun, but it is not valid in identifying someone who is crazy or malicious. Additionally, if you are drawing a social security disability or other government disability you will be subject to losing your carry permit, too. In reality, this is just another attempt to find a new path for gun control. They’re trying to chip away the rights of a demographic that isn’t as visible to the public, so they can set a precedent for taking away the rights of everyone else later on. This is a “slippery slope”. Do something about it, contact your gun rights organization and get involved.
IN DEFENSE OF FREEDOM.

Bennet: Like I have stated time and time again, I have six rifles and two handguns at my house. They have been there for the last seven years of Obama’s time in office and guess what, I still have them ad he is leaving office in a year. I am more worried about people loosing their social security if someone like a Scott Walker or some of the other nuts running for president than loosing my guns. I worry about someone like you having a gun with your mindset. I have not heard of anyone having their guns taken away from them, have you?

What Jack fails to mention is that those deemed ineligible can appeal and if proven not to be dangerous they can have their gun rights reinstated. So when there’s a mistake made, it can be fixed. Once a mad man has picked up a gun and shot a bunch of innocent people, it cannot be fixed. It’s far too late. While it’s not a perfect solution, we as a nation need to decide if a few eligible people going through a bit of a hassle is worse than a pile of dead folks? I know what Jack’s answer is.

Funny how so many American’s generalize about entire group’s of other American’s by using a Crayola crayon description. “Black, white, yellow, red, brown, etc”. Still, in America the only color of real importance is ” green”.

recently my neighbor told me about a census taker of some sorts contacting her for a survey. I did not realize there was a census going on. She said this census taker asked her about the ages and races of everyone living in her house. They also pryed into her financial information. She asked me before the scheduled interview about what she should say. I told her tell them how many people lived there and that’s it. I think there is a larger plan for all this data mining that is going on. Just have not figured it out yet.
But I do believe if you have abilities diminished to the point that you can not handle your own money or affairs you probably do not need a gun. I also believe if you are on SSI because you are a drug addict or an alcoholic, you probably should not have a gun. Common sense both. But all of this does not keep guns out of criminals hands. Its not a resolution to the problem. correcting the criminal activity is the resolution. Stiffer sentences and harsher penalties, there is a start. When you live in a society where a group of men can beat an unconcious man to death and get two to three years in the county jail your problems are only going to escalate. Vote out the weak prosecuting system in Armstrong county. That will be a good start.

With rights go responsibility. Or did someone forget that? And another death or injury. And the answer is?

I like the Stokes quote. How profound!
