Global Arms Treaty

We’re one step closer:

Britain’s UN Ambassador John Sawers welcomed adoption of the text and expressed hope that the next US administration will reconsider its opposition to the proposed Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) “to ensure that the arms trade lives up to standards we believe all responsible exporting countries should aspire to.”

Let’s hope we head off that possibility on Tuesday.

Obama Says He’ll Bankrupt Coal Industry

This should go over well with Pennsylvania coal miners:

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.

Of course, now that Obama needs to win Pennsylvania, he’s in favor of Clean Coal you can believe in.

About Those Obama Supporting Sportsmen

I honestly wonder how many of the folks like Dan Cooper, and some of the people on here who have come on claiming to be hunters and gun owners, have really been paying attention to the issue, his record, and who’s been endorsing him.  I mean, when a supposed hunters groups like American Hunters and Shooters Association comes out and says he’s their guy, and then the radical anti-hunting group like Humane Society of the United States comes out and says the same thing, alarm bells should be going off if you’re a hunter.  If you’re a gun owner or shooter, the Brady Campaign endorsement should tell you something.

I have to conclude it’s just willful ignorance.   I understand people not being a single issue voter.  There are a lot of gun owners out there who don’t self-identify as such — they vote primarily on other issues. That’s something I understand, even if I would emplore them to rank the Bill of Rights higher on their priority list.  But Obama is awful on guns.  His record makes that abundantly clear.  If you care about the Second Amendment, how can you possibly claim that you support Obama?  Don’t tell me what he’s saying now, in order to get elected: Tell me when in his career he’s supported the right to keep and bear arms.  You can’t.  Because it’s not there.  It’s not only not there, Obama has spent most of his career trying to destroy the Second Amendment.

So, Obama supporting visitors, I challenge you to convince me what Barack Obama has done for the Second Amendment to support and preserve it.  Don’t recite his campaign trail talking points.  Find me one thing in his record that indicates he supports the Second Amendment.  Then tell me why Dan Cooper, as a guy who makes his living manufacturing firearms, isn’t of his rocker for getting behind Obama.  It might be his right to vote against his self-interest, but voting against the self-interest of his employees and customers?  That’s not forgivable.

I’m the Monster

So according to various visitors to this blog over the past few days, I am a horrible monster for exercising my free speech rights to tell other gun owners not to buy Dan Cooper’s product (resulting in the board and employees asking him to step down), but I wonder what they have to say about what these people are doing.

It’s Vandalism You Can Believe In

Came back from the McCain/Manion rally to find our McCain/Palin sign had been ripped off the holder, and the holder bent beyond recognition.  Fortunatly, we have dozens of holders since a lot of people we hand out signs to just want the sign without the holder.  A little duct tape, and the sign is fixed and back out.  I’m tempted to pepper spray the sign now!  I will be compiling video of the rally later.

Off To the Rally

We’re off to the rally.  If anyone wants to join, scroll down for details.  We’ll be working outside the security checkpoint to recruit people for Sportsmen for McCain.  Recruit as in get them all together so we can be one big, happy, cousin humping family inside the rally.
