'Dumbest Generation Getting Dumber'
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international comparison of 15-year-olds conducted by The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that measures applied learning and problem-solving ability. In 2006, U.S. students ranked 25th of 30 advanced nations in math and 24th in science. McKinsey & Company, in releasing its report "The Economic Impact of the Achievement Gap in America's Schools" (April 2009) said, "Several other facts paint a worrisome picture. First, the longer American children are in school, the worse they perform compared to their international peers. In recent cross-country comparisons of fourth grade reading, math, and science, US students scored in the top quarter or top half of advanced nations. By age 15 these rankings drop to the bottom half. In other words, American students are farthest behind just as they are about to enter higher education or the workforce." That's a sobering thought. The longer kids are in school and the more money we spend on them, the further behind they get.
The great Walter Williams, professor of economics at George Mason University, effectively blows the whistle on the U.S. public school system and its gross failures. Read the entire article here.
A 'Tax Break' That Will RAISE Taxes?! Sheesh!
It seems that Barry-O and his minions in Congress are up to their old tricks yet again--bait and switch.

Walter Cronkite
Walter Cronkite's death brought back many memories from a bygone era in television news. As anchors go he was a cut above, then and now. And, for that I give him his due, and say, 'Rest in peace.'
However, I have seen over-the-top statements about Cronkite since his death that bear little resemblance to reality. He was not as non-partisan as people like to think. He used his position to lobby against the Viet Nam War while our troops were still in the field losing their lives, and he openly opposed Ronald Reagan from 1975 until he was elected in 1981.
No doubt Cronkite made an honest attempt to be as objective as he could, but he certainly did not always succeed, and by the last years of his career he had succumbed to the very same scourge that all talking heads on television news exhibit--the dreadful bias and slant that favors liberals.
In retirement he advocated 'one world government.'
Not exactly a great 'patriot.'

It's All OK, Right?
Allowing government intruders to invade our homes and force vaccinations on an unsuspecting public, as contained in the provisions of the 'Obamacare-Democrat' healthcare bill, is all just hunky-dory, isn't it.
I mean, who would mind being told you MUST take a shot if you have egg allergies, for example, or that you have a moral-ethical objection to taking a vaccine produced with human embryos.
I suppose we'll just have tell our kids, grandkids, and elderly that 'it's all OK.'

"Reactions"
In my daily reads I came across this brand new post for today that is worthy of 'high priority' ranking.
Western Rifle Shooters Association presents a piece that every concerned American citizen who is sickened over the current direction of our government should read. Make it today's top priority.
Here is an excerpt:
The very same cry goes out for those who do not work for government to get busy.
Read, think, and ACT.

Here is an excerpt:
But boys and girls, it is no-shit well past time for those men and women of good faith within government to start linking up with the Resistance and getting as much info and materiel out to the freedom team as possible. Every day that you folks sit on the sideline, the more each of you is tarred forever more with the indelible fecal smear of Comrades Soetero, Pelosi, and Reid.
The very same cry goes out for those who do not work for government to get busy.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 7/17/09
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
David Codrea reports EXPLOSIVE news about the ATF! It seems the hooded, jackbooted government thugs of this out-of-control, illegal organization of the federal government has informed the state of Tennessee, 'We are above your laws.' You wanna bet, you sorry pieces of vermin?!
Mike Vanderboegh appropriately wallops the ATF, and I agree. There is a special place in hell for these kinds of thugs, where Satan puts them up on a rotisserie to slow roast for a million years.
Walls of the City weighs in on this despicable action of the ATF.
Say Uncle also has a post about it.
Pax Parabellum says that the actions of the ATF effectively render the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution null and void. VERMIN, each and every one!
Days of our Trailers announces a brand new gun rights Examiner for the city of Chicago...a place where they desperately need a powerful voice for liberty!
Tam comments on the fact that Obama and the Dems flat-out LIED about the healthcare bill. There is NO 'CHOICE.' Right there on page 16 it states that private health insurance will be OUTLAWED. The smoking gun, folks.
Western Rifle Shooters Association has a Billy Beck exclusive on civil disobedience by refusing to pay taxes. This may be one of the tactics of last resort that patriots must use to stop this illegitimate government.
Conservative Libertarian Outpost provides the too-little, too-late statements from the NRA on Sotomayor. They waited until it was clear she would be confirmed before saying a damn word.
Brigid is taking a couple of weeks off from blogging, I am sad to say. But I fully understand her reasoning. We will be here for her when she gets back!
21 Guns Salute has a must-read on honoring our soldiers...video included.
Sebastian presents his take on the NRA opposition to Sotomayor, of which I have been openly critical for its lack of timeliness and vehemence. Sebastian has a different view.
From Ride Fast and Shoot Straight: 'Paean to Bureaucratic Stupidity.'
Way Up North provides a great YouTube video that shows Sarah Palin's critics running scared.
The Newbius Papers has THE MUST-read of the entire week, entitled, 'Declaration of Rights.' Don't miss this one whatever you do. Read, think, and ACT!
HA! Armed Citizen posts an ad that is absolutely infuriating 'the Great One.' ROFL! GOOD!
Texas Fred has an important read showing us beyond doubt that Sotomayor lied like a dog to Senators!
And now, my friends, for your Friday afternoon viewing pleasure, The Ol' Broad presents 'Obama the Post Turtle.'

Obamacare--The Cure is Worse Than the Illness
The devil is in the details, and it is becoming all too apparent that the Obamacare bill in the Congress is a 'fix' or 'cure' that is much worse than the illness.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 7/16/09
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
Snow Flakes in Hell continues with today's updates on the Sotomayor hearings in the Senate.
Texas Fred has urgent, late-breaking news that House Democrats have moved to put on the front-burner the murderous healthcare rationing bill that Obama wants. Time to move to get this STOPPED or else you will be burying your elderly loved ones!
Insight on Freedom reminds us that in addition to giving healthcare to illegal aliens by robbing seniors of their Medicare benefits and private insurance, Obama and the Democrats (and RINOS such as McCain) are going to shove amnesty for illegals down our throats very shortly. The assault is on, folks!
Notoriously Conservative, for some much-needed comic relief, provides some hilarious Obama jokes.
Days of our Trailers notes that the NRA has finally gotten on board with actively opposing Sotomayor. But, to be perfectly honest, from my perspective, it is way too little and much too late. This should have been done MONTHS ago!
Mike McCarville reports that U.S. Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma was totally unimpressed with Sotomayor's answers, including her views on the 2nd Amendment. Coburn has been a stellar patriot in the Senate.
Rev. Kharma has an excellent MUST-read today entitled, 'Look Away, Ignore the Man Behind the Curtain (again).' Read it all.
From John Jacob H: 'Anyone Remember Miguel Estrada, the Wise Latino Man?' Great read and video!
Free in Idaho provides the quote of the day on 'giving up.'
Say Uncle says that gun sales are still up over last year. I predict another run on the gun shops in the late summer and Fall.
The Wandering Minstrel has, 'Is that a banana in your pocket or are you going to shoot me?'
Tam says she has a case of the blahs today. I dunno why I felt that was worthy of a mention on the Roundup other than to say I get them a great deal as well. Probably due to medications and eye problems that give me a fit. But, I carry on. I'm sure Tam will too.
It's good to see Pax Parabellum back up and running after some server problems a few days ago. Go over there and start scrolling for some great reading!
Roberta X provides a few well-chosen comments on the dangers of 'mob rule.'
Atlas Shrugs blows the whistle on Pelosi and the Democrats' frontal assault on free speech. This is serious, folks!
David Codrea posts an excellent round up of all of the Gun Rights Examiners' opinions on Sotomayor and her anti-gun views. Read it all.
Austin Gun Rights Examiner says that 'you can change the course of history' by getting involved in opposing gun control. He provides examples.
From Denver Gun Rights Examiner: 'Lessons from Bring Your Guns to Church Day.'
Atlanta Gun Rights Examiner provides an excellent read on carrying guns, entitled, 'You Bet It's Personal!'
John Pierce has a MUST-read that reinforces gun owners' conviction that 'it takes a gun to stop a gunman.'
Sipsy Street Irregulars has two excellent reads on the Christian Resistance Movement to Government Tyranny, the first being this overview from an American clergyman, and the second being this nifty item showing that the current 'emperor' has no clothes!
KC3 reports big news that truckers have gotten behind an amendment to a bill calling for national reciprocity on concealed carry. It would be great if we could get this passed.
Walls of the City presents excerpts from an interesting exchange between persons engaged in a discussion on firearms issues.
Live from the Upper Texas Gulf Coast reminds us of the mindset toward guns exhibited by people like Dianne Feinstein, no matter what they say now.

UPDATE! Healthcare Reform Will KILL Seniors!
If this monstrosity of a bill called 'healthcare reform' passes Congress, get set to protect your elderly loved ones. This thing will ration their care, hastening their death, in order to pay for illegal aliens and roughly 8 million uninsured!
