\nIn his four and one-half years in office, what good has Obama done? He\u2019s increased the number of people on welfare and disability. That\u2019s where people go when they can no longer draw unemployment benefits. He\u2019s lied about Obamacare, why? Make no mistake about it, death panels are coming. He lied about Sequestration, why? He\u2019s blocked the Keystone pipeline, why? He\u2019s proposed a Carbon Tax, why? He halted offshore drilling here but gave Brazil two billion dollars for offshore drilling there, why? That\u2019s money in their economy and not ours, why?
\nObama\u2019s lying about the type of weapons used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, why? Here\u2019s one possible answer; it doesn\u2019t serve his purpose to tell the truth. He wants to control the guns in this country. Control of guns is control of the people.
\nSo what is Obama up to anyway? Is he here to destroy this country? It sure looks like it. Rating him one to ten how do you think he\u2019s doing? Keep in mind Obama has a plan and it\u2019s not pro-America. Unfortunately for the rest of us there\u2019s a large group of under-informed voters who are blinded by Obama\u2019s light.
\nMost people advocating more gun controls don\u2019t know what the hell they\u2019re talking about. A perfect example and the latest, Robin Kelly, a Democrat running for the congressional seat formerly held by Jesse Jackson, Jr. She says conceal carry permits didn\u2019t stop the shooting at an Aurora, Colorado theater. \u201cThey have conceal and carry, but nobody pulled out their guns to kill the gentleman (gentleman?) that did all the damage that he did,” she told a crowd.
\nShe doesn\u2019t know that the theater is a gun free zone just like our schools. That\u2019s why there are so many shootings; force flows in the direction of least resistance. Has Kelly also seen bullets implode like Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D)? Or U. S Rep. Diana DeGette (D) who didn\u2019t know magazines or clips can be reloaded. Being under-informed doesn\u2019t keep any of them from spreading untruths. As for Obama\u2019s excuse, he\u2019s a compulsive liar.
\nThe stabbings of 14 people at a Texas community college by a 20-year-old student is going to screw up Obama\u2019s pack of barking dogs. How in hell are they going to explain this seeing no guns were involved?<\/p>\n

Back in the mid 1960s friends and I hitched up our speedboats and headed to Higgins Lake for the week. It was over the 4th of July and the temperatures at night ended up in the 30s. That\u2019s when I caught the worst cold I\u2019ve ever had. If I had that same cold today it would kill me.
\nWe did a lot of boating and water skiing and during a lull in the action three of us decided to go to a riding stable. At that time I\u2019d never been on a horse. My only experience with horses was finding out that a boyhood friend, who lived down the road from us, was killed after his horse reared up on him.
\nWe mounted our assigned horses (mine was an old swayback) and headed out on the trail in a single file led by one of the stable\u2019s employees and following up the rear was another stable employee. Yippee ki yay!
\nThe girl in front of me was all of a sudden thrown off her horse. Me, being a gentleman, got off my horse to help. I hung on the reins but the old swayback got too skittish so I let go and it headed back to the stable. The girl was okay so we had to ride double with somebody else. I was lucky enough to hitch a ride with the stable rider in the rear. I say that facetiously because I had to finish the ride on the widest part of the horse. It was about three days before I could walk with my knees together again.<\/p>\n

And Furthermore:
\nIf the government makes the morning after pill available to girls of any age and over the counter without a prescription then there should be no need for most of the abortions performed every year. Call it the lesser of two evils.
\nWho would have believed that the Defense of Marriage Act would come under fire? Bill Clinton signed it into law and now he doesn\u2019t support it. If it is repealed it will lead to all sorts of marriage combinations and the sky is the limit. Think about it.
\nBiologically speaking, there\u2019s no such thing as two Dads or two Moms.
