SURPRISE IN STORE
Barack Obama
must think he rates
As he piles up
Super Delegates.
But as voters learn more…
What Barack has in store
Is grief as his support
dissipates.
A PICTURE IS WORTH 1,000 WORDS (1 of 6)
Ignore the warnings
at a real cost –
Personal freedoms
will all be lost.
We must heed them
when they
Loudly and
proudly say,
"Be prepared for
the real holocaust."
A PICTURE IS WORTH 1,000 WORDS (2 of 6)
Islamofascists are
seeking prey…
Boldly saying,
"Europe you will pay."
That's not an idle threat…
Plans are already set –
"Your 9/11 is on its way."
Thanks to subscriber Linda Jett for the photos and the story behind them. Besides providing us with interesting info from time to time, she was one of those who responded to our plea for packages for our troops. We are very appreciative.
A CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE
Rendell wants
gun control enacted.
But, once again,
he's overreacted
Thinking that it's OK
To take gun rights away
From honest folks
who'd be impacted.
Gun control's, in effect,
dissolution
Of the Commonwealth's
Constitution
And the crooks would,
with glee,
Ply their trade
more risk-free.
Rights can't be
subject to dilution.
"The right of the citizens
to bear arms"
"In defense of themselves,"
against harms,
"And the state
shall not be"
"Questioned."
We're to be free.
Rendell's statements
should set off alarms.
[Penna. Constitution, Article I, Section 21: The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.]
