Subject: Grandpa Carries a Gun !
Why Carry a Gun?
My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life
when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually
it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.'
I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes
this world can be a scary place.
I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there
are real threats in the world.
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have
lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun
because I understand the limitations of government.
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't
have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be
prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun
because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a
sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when
I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because
men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because
unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love
life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect
themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just
investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to
clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to
take an ass whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953,
about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5
million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated. ------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total
of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves
were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000
Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
---- ------------- -------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000
Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one
million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century
because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind
them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'. During
WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew
most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message
to all of your friends.
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in
defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is
more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else
is supplemental.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT
WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING
CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please
forward.

Why do blacks still let o off the hook ... OneNewsNow.com
Why do blacks still let Obama off the hook? Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist - 7/18/2011 11:30:00 AM A Chicago Sun Times article, headlined "The disappearing black middle class," reports on the disproportionate impact of these hard economic times on blacks. Â According to the data, taken from the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute, median net worth of white households fell from $134,280 in 2004 to $97,860 in 2009, while over the same period median black household net worth went from $13,450 to $2,170. Â The national unemployment rate stands at 9.2 percent, while black unemployment is over 16 percent. Â There's more, but you get the picture. The nation has been hit hard, but blacks much harder.
Â
Which raises a point of interest. Â Approval rates for President Obama among whites have dropped from 56% in early 2009 after he became president to 39% now -- a drop of 17 points. But over this same period, Obama's approval rating among blacks has dropped just 8 points -- 93% to 85%. Â Many whites who initially had supported our president are now crediting him for our current misery. But blacks, despite suffering far more, are far less inclined to hang it on Obama. Â The message that massive government spending and borrowing does not grow the economy has not reached blacks. Rather, like our president, they seem to believe that the problem is we just haven't yet dug the fiscal hole deep enough. Â Is this a racial thing? Whites will jump off the ship run by a black captain in a minute while blacks will ride it out until it hits the iceberg? Â No, I don't think so. I think it's both a liberal information thing and a moral thing. Â The liberal information thing is that blacks overwhelmingly get their information from liberal sources. Â Blacks watch CNN and MSNBC, not Fox. They listen to urban black radio. Â They are not going to hear from these sources that if you look all over the world, nations with the most prosperous economies are the ones with the most limited governments. Liberal media refuses to get and pass the word that socialism has failed. Â The major organizations that supposedly represent black interests are all on the left, generously funded by big left-wing white foundations and by our nation's corporations. The former do it because they are liberals and the latter do it to show that they are not racist. Â And, like the Economic Policy Institute, that produced the data reported in the Sun Times article, they are supported by unions. Â But I think more corrosive is the moral thing.
Â
Almost a half century since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, too many blacks still don't want to be free and accept the responsibilities that go with it. Too many blacks still believe that the condition of their lives is caused by what someone else does or has. Â It is sad that this is true despite the fact that blacks go to church more often, pray more often, and say religion plays a central part in their life more than any other ethnic group in the nation. Â Why does a people so inclined to turn to God so readily violate the Tenth Commandment's prohibition on covetousness and measure themselves in terms of what others have? And then use this sin to justify violating the Eighth Commandment and give government license to steal what others have in order to redistribute? Â Perhaps most fundamentally, how can a church-going people buy into the materialism of socialism? Â There is a solution to the general travails of our nation and the particular travails of our black brothers and sisters. Â It is called every man and woman taking personal responsibility for their lives, turning to government for protection of life and property -- not redemption, and living as free people according to traditional biblical mores.

puns for "slightly higher" IQ's ... Thanks Mr. Hoskins!
Not to worry ... all SamKat blog readers are "slightly higher and above IQ's". As a habit, liberals just do not enter. ;)

A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking.
Dijon vu - the same mustard as before.
Practice safe eating - always use condiments.
A man needs a mistress just to break the monogamy.
A hangover is the wrath of grapes.
Dancing cheek-to-cheek is really a form of floor play.
Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
Reading while sunbathing makes you well red.
When two egotists meet, it's an I for an I.
The definition of a Will? A dead give away.
In democracy your vote counts....In feudalism your count votes.
She was engaged to a boyfriend with a wooden leg, but broke it off.
A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.
If you don't pay your exorcist, you'll get repossessed
The man who fell into an upholstery machine was fully recovered.
You feel stuck with your debt if you can't budge it.
Every calendar's days are numbered.
A lot of money is tainted...tain't yours & tain't mine.
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.
He had a photographic memory that was never developed.
A midget fortune-teller who escapes from prison is a small medium at large.
Once you've seen one shopping center, you've seen a mall.
Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead-to-know basis.
Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses.
Acupuncture is a jab well done.

FANTASTIC MORE POWER TO YOU ???? WHOEVER YOU ARE
From The London Times:
A Well-Planned Retirement
Outside England 's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant.....
The fees for cars ($1.40), for buses (about $7).
Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work,
he just didn't show up; so the zoo management called the city council
and asked it to send them another parking agent.
The council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the zoo's own responsibility. The zoo advised the council that the attendant was a city employee.
The city council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the city payroll.
Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy is a man who'd apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about $560 per day -- for 25 years.
Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million dollars ...... and no one even knows his name
