Why was a snow storm used to suspend the 2nd amendment?
So we 2nd amendment folks are all paranoid, right? Well in King North Carolina your rights just got took away. Read the full story here. That’s right we are all just one blizzard away from being stripped of our 2nd amendment rights.
Other restrictions include a ban on the sale or purchase of any type of firearm, ammunition, explosive or any possession of such items off a person’s own premises.
Pretty scary if you ask me. What if you could not get food and need ammo to hunt. Nope not in King, N.C. you would have to go to the shelter and take what the government rationed out to you. What if you had a stock pile of food and water (cause you’re smart), and someone came to take it away from you (oh like the government) , how handy it would be to not let you have weapons to protect your life and property.
Where are the missing representatives?
New Mexico state representatives passed a temporary half-cent sales tax on gross receipts. It passed thanks to the stupidity of two republication representatives that just didn’t show up for the vote. I’m not sure what these two got promised but some real shenanigans took place just before the vote. Who where the supposedly Republican representatives? Jane Powdrell-Culbert and Dennis Roch , two Democrats where absent as well. A tie vote would have killed the bill. All I can say is what the hell is going on here. We all know that New Mexico politics is corrupt but this takes the cake. The excuse was the two missing representatives had to go to doctor’s appointments… Really? What a load of crap, we are talking about bills that raise taxes. How about you schedule those doctors appointments after the session morons. I’m sick of dirty politicians, I’m sick of the lies, deceit, and corruption. It’s time to through the bums out on both sides. You work for us, start showing it. Want to get the full run down on all the games being played go read Heath Haussamen’s aticle on nmpolitics.net . Every time I see something like this is makes me want to throw up a little.
Obama: “I’m a big believer in net neutrality”
Well talk about confirmation to my belief that net neutrality is just one more notch for bigger government. Got it from our own commander and socialist himself.
Even got him on video admitting to this very bad idea.
Come on folks in the technical world stop thinking this net neutrality is a good thing, way to many loopholes when you go sleeping with the devil.
Get mad my fellow Americans!
What a breath of fresh air to hear someone running for elected office tell it like it is, Doug Turner talking to the Las Cruces Sun News. “I’m mad,” Turner said. “I’m not in this (campaign) to make friends. I’m angry with what’s happening to the state and this country.”
I’ve personalty met this man and shook his hand, no double speak, no dancing around the issues. You get strait up yes and no answers. When was the last time you saw that in an elected official. New Mexico needs him in office, America needs this kind of leader. Get mad my fellow Americans, and lets put someone in office that will work for us, not themselves.
Obama is lieing about No taxes for The middle class.
Oh we the middle class will certainly have our taxes go up under the Obama administration and no one is calling the man out on it. Want proof read this. We will start suffering soon. I knew they ran the Obama campaign with the slogan change I just had no idea they meant take my change.

The Young Americans for Liberty will be hosting Adam Kokesh who is running for Republican Nomination from New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional district. this Wednesday from 12-1 in the Student Union Building Atrium.
Pelosi sure does know how to use the system.
Using Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, Judicial Watch uncovered thousands of pages of travel documents related to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of military aircraft. Must be nice she even used the aircraft to shuttle her kids and grand kids around…..
New Mexico Patriot Alliance 2010 Summit – Good ideas and good people.
Yesterday January 30th was the 2010 New Mexico Patriot Alliance’s Sate wide Winter Summit and for those of you that could not be in attendance you missed a truly inspiring experience. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay for the entire summit but the parts I was able to take part in really fulled and revitalized my views on what being a patriot is.
I’d like to thank Dave Batcheller for running the summit and his speech on “A New Breed of Patriot” should be required reading for every American that may be concerned about the direction this country is heading. How humbling he made me feel as Dave called for strong leaders that need to emerge to help rally the people around the founding principles that has made this country great. A call for leadership to be clear and focused, leaders to step up with qualities of charisma, honesty, and integrity. Yet understanding with the ability to be teachable and eager to learn. Leaders with a passion that comes from deep within, a leader that can surround himself with smart capable people, leaders who can check their egos something Dave defined as interdependence. In short leaders that will lead not out of obstinance but out of convection. It was very emotional and I could tell Dave was speaking from the heart, and we need more gifted people like him, great words Dave.
The Keynote was given by Bob Wright a man till yesterday I had never heard of. Bob is associated with the Southern New Mexico/West Texas Militia Alliance, now before you start with any preconceived notions. Bob’s keynote was about how the success of any movement requires calm and smart thinking. I found all his statements true, he wanted to make sure no one makes knee jerk reactions, that you remain skeptical. Look deeper than what the information seems to imply. I for one feel just a little more safer to know a we have some wise leadership in these state militias. After all it is “We the People”.
The main goal of the New Mexico Patriot Alliance I feel, is to get loose nit Patriot groups and mainly those groups leaders a place to come together and organize around a common principle. Mainly the ideals behind the Deceleration of Independence, The Constitution of the United Sates of America, and The United States Bill of Rights. I placed links so you can go read these documents if you’ve not read them. Please go do so, they are remarkable. As each patriotic group has a main focus it comes very easy for them to become disjointed, fragmented. A need arises for the leaders of these groups to rise above these issues, to rein in those that have become uncontrollable and unbridled. I see the New Mexico Patriot Alliance as a clearing house to help these groups and their leaders see the big picture. It’s not about the issues, power struggles, or egos. We must save our country. It’s about upholding a standard so the overall freedom movement is not compromised.
Of note was the attendance of several politicians that will be running for various offices in 2010. Doug Turner – running for Governor for New Mexico, Matt Rush – running for Land Commissioner for New Mexico, Tom Mullins – running for United States Congress District 3, Also a man running for Sheriff of Bernalillo county (please some one contact me so I can get his name and place it in this list). Glad to see them taking part in the discussions and not just campaigning (well they campaigned a little, they are after all politicians).
In full disclosure I’m openly supporting Doug Turner for Governor of New Mexico but I was very impressed when he came up to me and told me that he felt Dave’s message to the summit on leadership was in Doug’s words “very good”, I would agree like I said before inspiring.
It was a fantastic summit I met a slew of great patriots and hope to be corresponding with them all very soon.
Net Neutrality not all it’s cracked up to be.
Since when will we all realize that when the government tries to regulate something anything they screw it up. Be that health care, the automobile industry or now the popular mantra of the technophiles Net Neutrality.
The FCC is currently drafting up these so call net neutrality laws and like all things good intentioned if the government get’s involved they drop the ball or in this case open up huge loopholes that will let ISP’s legally do what the rules where suppose to stop in the first place.
As Richard Esguerra of the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains “Yet now that the FCC has formally issued draft net neutrality regulations, they have a huge copyright loophole in them — a loophole that would theoretically permit Comcast to block BitTorrent just like it did in 2007 — simply by claiming that it was “reasonable network management” intended to “prevent the unlawful transfer of content.” Please read more here.
Basically put ISP’s could still block “peer to peer” traffic just like they do now but thanks to Net Neutrality rules set forth by the government they now could do so legally and you would have no recourse no matter how legitimate your activities may be. Trust me the list of legal activities for peer to peer technologies is endless.
Let’s face facts the entertainment industry lobby has some deep pockets and have for years been trying to halt all types of illegal file sharing (well illegal in their eyes). However, the truth is no matter what anyone may think of this issue the movie industry had record profits last year and even had one movie make two billion world wide. They hardly have an argument that movie piracy is cutting into said profits. So why should our government help them turn ISP’s into copyright cops, a job the ISP don’t want and don’t want to have to pay for, a cost that will be passed down to the consumer, a cost these so called Net Neutrality laws are suppose to help curtail.
We need to let our ISP’s know what we want and how we want it by not giving them our money. We need to end the government controlled monopolies that let cable companies and telcos operate without competition, which my friends is the real root of the problem.
I have a different stance than many in the technological field and feel the net neutrality is a trap, yes ISP’s are evil and greedy. In America we pay to much for bandwidth, have way to many restrictions place on us, and have limited services. That being said I’d rather vote with my pocket book than let the government tell me or my ISP how, when, and where to surf.
Our America, a step in the right direction.
Our America is a website recently launched by former New Mexican Governor Gary Johnson. As Governor of New Mexico, Johnson was able to eliminate the state’s budget deficit as well as reduce state employees by over 1000 with out firings. It also should be noted that during his term New Mexico experienced it’s longest period without a tax increase in the state’s history. So when this guy talks people should listen, and when he talks you get no political double speak. You always know where Gary stands, it’s quite a bit of fresh air. After the rambling pack of lies during the State of the Union speech last night you might want to head on over to Our America and get some truth.
Here is Gary Johnson with Doug Turner (Currently running for Governor for the state of New Mexico) protesting taxes recently in Santa Fe, New Mexico’s State capital. Looks like the both back up what they say with action.
