Doctors fight back against new role as gun control arbiters


But many doctors are fighting back. They don't want to be gun control arbiters. They do not see such a thing as being part of their role as medical care providers. And even if they were forced into such a role, they see themselves as ill-equipped to make such decisions.

Can an honorable patriot come to the defense of a political opponent? I hope so.

Chris Christie finds himself in deep water over a political scandal in New Jersey. I have said very little about it because I am no Chris Christie supporter, and I find his views to be detestable on several fronts.

But as the hours have passed I find myself compelled to at least say something about the current squabble.

Unless I am a complete and utter failure at judging human character, I find Christie's words about the scandal to be believable. I watched most of the 2 hour news conference he conducted yesterday. He was open, forthcoming, and direct. There was congruence between his words and body language/facial expressions. He did not seem nervous whatsoever. He did not engage in evasive tactics.

Now, I have seen charlatans fool a lot of people. Some of these individuals are so good at what they do (deception) that they can appear to be honest while at the same time lying through their teeth.

I am not suggesting that I cannot be fooled. I have been fooled many times. But each time I think I have learned something.

In this case, I believe Christie is telling the truth that he knew nothing about the charge that he conducted political retribution against a local mayor in N.J. He fired two of his closest advisers because they lied to him about the scandal. A governor is informed only to the degree that he is served well by his advisers.

Obviously these advisers did not served him well at all.

So, I think the media, the pundits, the political establishment, etc. should give the man a break. If he is lying it is bound to come out sooner or later. But as of now, there is nothing that would suggest Christie is engaging in deception.

This in no way means that I support Christie for national office. My ideological/philosophical/political views are very different from that of Christie, for the most part. I would never vote for him for president, for example. But neither do I believe that it is honorable or civil to support the piling on by people with an ulterior motive for political gain. Even a political opponent is capable of conducting his/her life with integrity.

Off the record: Ordinary citizens express strong opinions


Beneath the radar screen of the mainstream media and even the alternative media, ordinary citizens who are never asked or consulted about public policy and new laws have very strong opinions concerning these issues nonetheless.

Recently several of these citizens told National Conservative Examiner that it is as if their opinions do not matter, that their views are unimportant, and that the movers and shakers in Washington increasingly see them as nothing more than a roadblock to a malevolent agenda for the nation.

He is now under arrest for a "gun crime" and is considered a criminal, although he has no criminal history.

Back from the off the grid wilderness

Ok, I'm back from my unexpected break from the world of algore's Internets.

It's amazing as to how much you can find out by just spending time with people under the radar.

More about that perhaps today.

In the meantime, "gird your loins" as the Bible says and get ready. I see 2014 as a very rocky year on many fronts. I know we all hear news reports each day now that indicate more people are getting jobs, a recovery is not only underway but beginning to accelerate, and things are looking better.

My assessment? It's all smoke and mirrors. There are too many things the government can do to skew such numbers. They don't count people who have given up in despair trying to find a job. They don't count inflation in food prices, over the counter medication prices, or gasoline prices. All of this is very convenient for Leviathan con artists in both Parties.

But what I hear concerning the rocky road ahead involves growing danger from al Qaeda, despite Obama's repeated assertions that he had all but obliterated the organization. Funny how that terrorist group that no longer exists re-took the city of Fallujah in Iraq.

The Middle East is a powderkeg waiting to blow up at any time. Hillary and Obama created such a mess in the region that World War III could well be sparked at any time.

And then there are growing threats from China and Russia who sense America's weakness and our vacuum in adequate leadership at the top. All of this is not to mention that growing threat from right here in the homeland from tyrants who want to disarm us, take away our freedom to choose our own doctor, what we eat, what we drive, etc, etc.

As bad as the employment/economy status is, those things pale in comparison to the grave dangers from tyrants in our own government who wish to roll back the unalienable rights of the people.

Eternal vigilance is more necessary than ever.

Tied up

Hey, folks. Just a brief update here.

I've been tied up off the grid today, and thus, there has been little time to do any significant writing. I hate it when that happens, but such is life.

So, here's what you can do to help. Read my latest Examiner articles linked below, and pass them along to someone who may not have read them. We MUST make sure our acquaintances, friends, and family are fully informed about what we face as a nation.

If I get a chance to post tonight, I will do so. And thanks for all you do in reading and promoting these articles.

Obamacare already targets gun owners


With each passing month Americans are discovering to their dismay just what Nancy Pelosi meant when she famously stated in 2009 concerning Obamacare, "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in the bill."

To their sheer horror, Americans are finding out that one of the provisions of Obamacare is to closely question them about gun ownership when they show up at a medical facility or sign up for an Obamacare exchange, or register for Medicaid or Medicare.

Deep freeze in the south

We have gone into the deep freeze in these parts.

Single digits last night (not windchill), and 20s for the high today. The higher elevations in the mountains of North Carolina got hit even worse. It has snowed in the Boone-Blowing Rock area each day for at least a week.

I admit I like colder weather and snow. But single digits and such is downright dangerous. So, the infamous "Arctic Vortex" has dipped all the way down here, and further down to the Deep South and the tip of Florida.

I hear we may have at least one more of these events this winter. We shall see.

Buffoons, one and all

Let me go ahead and say what I deeply feel but have been holding back for a while -- if you believe in this "global warming" crap you are a fool, a nutcase, a buffoon.

It is not just the present anecdotal evidence but the hard scientific data that shows projections concerning the climate to be wrong, way off base.

And then, of course, there is the circular "logic" that if it gets very hot, it is global warming, and if it gets very cold, it is global warming. How convenient for these geniuses. Either way they win, and either way their critics lose. There is nothing scientific, logical, or sane about it, other than the fact that scientific charlatans know how to manipulate rhetoric almost as deftly as they have the data on global temperatures.

Another basic fact for scientific imbeciles -- if you have to move weather stations from cold regions to warmer ones, and place some gauges right in front of air conditioning exhaust units in large cities to "prove" your hypothesis, then it is clear your hypothesis is doomed right from the start. Committing fraud does not yield scientific evidence, you scumbag.

Run for your lives, the Leviathans are back in town!

They're baaaaaack.

After an extended holiday break, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the president are all back in D.C. ready to rescue you from your money, your property, your individual liberties.

Things are so much better when these numbskulls leave town. As long as they are outta there they cannot conjure up new ways of oppressing us. No new regulations are passed that hamstring businesses. And there is a lull in the attempts to register and confiscate your guns.

But when they all come back, it's "Katy, bar the door!"

Look for the Leviathans, i.e., Obama, Reid, the Supreme Court, and the Republican elitist leadership to kick everything up into high gear to get the oppressive progressive agenda shoved so far down our throats we will never get away from it.

Their fear? That they will lose the Senate and lose more seats in the House, thus making Obama a true lame duck for the next two years. So, they will try to force their agenda through Congress knowing that if they don't do it now, they may not have another opportunity come 2015.

Watch for them to say anything, do anything, try anything to sneak through legislation or in Obama's case do it all by executive order.

Just a word to the wise....
