Obama, Guardian of Children. Yeah, right.

It isn't often that I wax political, but here goes. I wonder how many others might share my opinion?

In response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn., last Friday, President Obama addressed the nation yesterday announcing the appointment of Vice President Joe Biden to head a commission looking into ways to reduce gun violence. Had you heard? The President declared he will use all the powers of his office to prevent what happened at Newtown from happening again.

This is where many have been left scrtaching their heads.

Following controversy over its purchase of around 1.2 billion bullets since April 2012 alone, Obama's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) put out a new solicitation for over 200 million more rounds of ammunition in September. Well, the DHS has just requested another 200,000 rounds of .40 caliber Federal Ammunition hollow point rounds. They can't be taking this Zombie Apocalypse thing seriously, can they?

I'm not kidding. In his latest report on government waste, “Safety at Any Price,” Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., argued that Homeland Security funds allocated after 9/11 to shore up the U.S. anti-terrorism defense are being misused. He pointed to a five-day counter-terrorism summit that included a "Zombie Apocalypse"demonstration. The program was designed to train Marines, Navy, police, firefighters and other special forces to prepare for, you guessed it... zombies!

Seriously! I guess the theory is apparently that, if you can prepare yourself for flesh-eating zombies, you'll be ready for anything. 

Incidentally, you paid for that.

In August 2012, the Social Security Administration solicitation called for 174,000 rounds of ".357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow point pistol ammunition." What are they expecting, an elderly assault? 

Remember, they used YOUR hard-earned money for those purchases.

You want weird? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, found itself scrambling to respond to questions about an order for 46,000 rounds of ammo that same month. Though the agency initially indicated it was for the National Weather Service -- leading to questions about why the National Weather Service could possibly need so many bullets -- a spokesman clarified the bullets are actually meant for the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement. A "clerical error" resulted in the order saying the ammo was for the weather service.

Again, even if the ammo WAS intended for the NOAA Fisheries Office, who will they be defending themselves against, rabid guppies? A bass fishermen uprising?

Bear in mind, folks, YOU paid for this ammo with YOUR tax dollars. 

Now, with guns in nearly half the homes in America, Obama announced the establishment of his Biden-led team whose purpose is to find a way to, as the Prez said today, "make sure we do everything we can to keep our children safe.”

PLAYING THE KID CARD

Have you noticed how often he plays the "Kid Card", as if he's on a crusade to protect children? This comes from a President whose flying robots are terrorizing Pakistan with "Death from above" and killing defenseless children in the process. A study by Stanford Law School and New York University's School of Law is calling for a re-evaluation of the drone practice, saying the number of "high-level" targets killed as a percentage of total casualties is extremely low -- about 2%. Their report accuses Washington of misrepresenting drone strikes as "a surgically precise and effective tool that makes the U.S. safer," saying that in reality, "there is significant evidence that U.S. drone strikes have injured and killed civilians."

Oh, I guess an invading army of little kids COULD be perceived as a threat. If so, well done, Obama! If not, shame on you!!

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ), an independent organization based at City University in London reports that "from June 2004 through mid-September 2012, available data indicate that drone strikes killed 2,562 - 3,325 people in Pakistan, of whom 474 - 881 were civilians."

That includes176 children, by the way. TBIJ reports "these strikes also injured an additional 1,228 - 1,362 individuals," according to the Stanford/NYU study. Fact is, under Obama's leadership, thousands of children have been killed by Obama's drone attacks in 8 nations.

GUARDIAN OF CHILDREN?

Let's talk about Obama's abortion record, bearing in mind that, from the perspective of MILLIONS of Americans, abortion is nothing less than the murder of unborn and innocent children in their mothers' wombs.

For starters, he voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times, voting AGAINST protecting babies who survived abortion and voting IN FAVOR of leaving them to die. A vote against this legislation was a vote for infanticide. [Source]

Next, on his third day in office, Obama repealed the pro-life “Mexico City Policy.” In doing so, he made groups that perform and promote abortion eligible for U.S. foreign aid. Again, YOUR tax dollars at work! [Source]

Obama, Planned Parenthood’s funding jumped from 33% to nearly 50%. Over $487 MILLION in taxpayer money now goes to that abortion giant. This is almost half a billion dollars American families are forced to pay in tax dollars to the nation’s largest abortion provider. [Source]

The President refused to sign an emergency budget, putting funding the military at risk, UNTIL

Planned Parenthood funding was included in the budget. This was following Live Action’s Sex

Trafficking investigation, showing Planned Parenthood aiding and abetting the sex-traffickers of

underage girls. [Source]

5) Also,           Obama has pushed for his “pet legislation,” The Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), which would help fund “community health centers” (Planned Parenthood being their prime target). Additionally, the Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate would force ALL Americans to fund abortion and contraception, with no exceptions for religious institutions or religious individuals who are vehemently against abortion and contraception.

MASS MURDERS, GUN CONTROL & LIBERTY

So, while the President speaks eloquently regarding the need for gun control for the sake of the nation's children, this guy seems bent on killing them, despite mustering tears over the Sandy Hook incident, then using that tragedy to push his anti-gun agenda.

Personally, I feel that, if protecting kids in schools is a legitimate concern for him, and his main issue were NOT disarming the citizens, he should advocate the arming of teachers and the posting of armed officers in schools, rather than leaving them as the sitting duck, gun-free targets for armed assassins they are at this time.

But that's just me talkin'.

Where gun control is concerned, as for me and my house, I'd rather have neighbors with automatic weapons and millions of rounds of ammo than a government with all the weaponry and a populace with nothing. Think about it... anyone who touches our Second Amendment right is, literally, threatening our right to survive and live in peace. Our forefathers knew that. For perspective, in March 1982, the town of Kennesaw, GA – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, IL. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender. The crime rate as a whole has plummeted since passage of the ordinance.

But what of Morton Grove? That city's crime rate increased by 15.7 percent immediately after the gun ban. In 2008, as the Chicago Tribune reported, the Morton Grove handgun ban was repealed by a 5-1 vote of the village board. The move to repeal the ban attracted little controversy with only a few Morton Grove residents attending a meeting when the repeal was first on the agenda. Fighting in court to try to keep the law would cost money the village did not have, especially considering the fact that making such a law is unconstitutional and, therefore, indefensible.

Morton Grove is one of many Illinois cities to repeal their handgun ban. Given the utter ineffectiveness of such bans, and the injustice such laws inflict upon law-abiding citizens who only wish to defend themselves and their homes from criminals, that's a good thing.

Mr. President, your job description includes defending and upholding the Constitution of the United States. You are NOT our king! We already have one; we call Him 'Jesus'. Do your job, please! We'll defend our own children under the Constitution you were sworn to uphold, and we'll stand upon the Second Amendment, as necessary, in order to legally do so... but we're defenseless when so many laws are tying our hands. Liberty is freedom and many are feeling the squeeze of bondage right now. Banning guns does little but empower the bad guys; “Prohibition” proved that.

In closing, let's heed the words of a REAL American President: "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and LOSE OUR FREEDOMS, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln

Every blessing,
