Permission?

More fun from our government-run schools by way of Garland, TX.   This is what a school there thinks is a summation of the Second Amendment:

We can get permission to own weapons to protect ourselves.

Uh, not quite.  It actually says:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Notice the lack of the word “permission”.  As a matter of fact, this is the only amendment which states that a right “shall not be infringed”.  It doesn’t say the right to bear arms shall not be infringed unless the gun looks mean.

The completely list of the summations of the Bill of Rights is here.  Thanks to Jerry at At the Root.

Oh Good Lord!

Now, Republicans are siding with the terrorists if they mock Obama winning the Nobel “Peace” Prize.

From Infidels are Cool:

“The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists – the Taliban and Hamas this morning – in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize,” DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse told POLITICO. “Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize – an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride – unless of course you are the Republican Party.

“The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It’s no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore – it’s an embarrassing label to claim,” Woodhouse said.

And what about the last eight years?  What about every time that the left cheered a Bush failure or a perceived failure?

Asshats.

More Ridiculous Overreactions

Here are some more stories to illustrate how out of control some people are when it comes to “protecting” children.  I like to take photographs of lots of things, but I wonder if that’s safe anymore.  I haven’t had any trouble yet, but I supposed it’s just a matter of time.

And what if someone reports me when I take my sons to the park to play?  People need to calm down a bit.

Good Question and Good Perspective

Reform the Sex Offender Databases

Some people do not belong on Sex Offender Databases.  That’s just a fact.  It may be a case of an 18 year old boy having sex with a girl who is 16.  He is then convicted of statutory rape and branded for life.  All the database will say is “sexual assault of a minor” or something similar.  The date listed in the database is probably not the date of offense – it’s more likely the last registration date or the last court date.  This can make it look like a 25 year old raped a 16 year old when, in fact, it happened 7 years ago when the “offender” was 18.

I know people in this situation (or a similar situation).  A bad decision has branded them as an “offender” for life and anyone who looks it up online thinks the worst.  Don’t get me wrong – there are people who need to be on this list.  Violent offenders and true child molesters should be there.  However, many people should not.

Please think about this the next time you look at one of those databases.  Look up the case in the county court records and see what really happened and what the actual date of the offense was.

Here’s a good article on the subject.  People are just going crazy.

Read the Bill!

Why would anyone want to read a bill before signing it?  Maybe because there can be things hidden within.  This is why it stuns me when I hear congressmen say they just don’t have time to read the bill or it’s not feasible to read all the bills.  Well, make time and make it feasible.  Maybe bills are TOO COMPLICATED!

Repeat after me – READ THE BILL!

The White House is Scared

WOW! The White House is so afraid, they have started going after Fox News directly.  I guess they have good reason to be afraid, since Fox is the only mainstream media outlet not afraid to put out the truth about Obama, even if it’s negative.

Pelosi – Still an Idiot

Let me get this right – Nancy Pelosi is calling for a “windfall profits tax” on insurance companies. This is an industry that averages a 3.3% profit margin. Exactly what part of that is “windfall”, Ms. Botox Pelosi?

Liberals just cannot stand the thought of anyone other than Liberals or the government making money. These people are insane.

What the…????

Did these idiots not learn ANYTHING? Some Republicans tried to stop this mess in 2003 and 2005 and Democrats blocked every attempt.  Now, after the economic troubles of the last year, they want to “enhance” the CRA?  Are they really that stupid?

With all the attention paid to the health care battle, ACORN, and the president’s “Full Ginsburg” appearances on five Sunday talk shows, few people noticed a hearing with an exceedingly boring title — “Proposals to Enhance the Community Reinvestment Act” — held last week in the House Financial Services Committee. But the session marked a key moment in the ongoing battle between Republicans and Democrats over what caused our current financial woes — and how we might best avoid getting into the same trouble again.
