But aren‘t owners concerned that they’ll be a target, especially for the notorious Somali pirates? Most replied that that the pirates are more of a “psychological” threat than an “actual” one. However, they do pose a real threat to insurance rates, they remarked.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:52amDishonest men always want to take your guns. Britian would have loved if George Washington did not have guns. I am listening to Holder saying how he wants to brainwash all the people into believing that guns are dangerous. The Liberals see stealing freedoms, guns using what ever tactics needed and if they can to do it pretending out of deep compassionate governance and the goodness of their hearts because guns hurt you, big gas eating cars hurt you and the planet, Freedom hurts you, cow farts hurt you and the planet, McDonald’s hurts you, Walmart hurts you, Conservative business owners hurt you, Faith hurts you and the planet, conservative mom and dads and their babies hurt you. I would be asked questions from liberals and if you had an opinion about what they ask you, then they get mad, intolerant and say you are judging them?? I shared my opinion on what they asked about as related to myself and my beliefs, it had nothing to do with them and they could not handle it and they get angry. Whether it was about abortion or euthinasia for example. I will never forget the woman with the last name Schavio(I hope I spelled it right) What a miscarraige of justice there!

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:34amIsn’t this article and pictures in quite the contract to the made up reasons of the “have not’s poo people” (OWS) in Zucotti Park? If the they are so enraged that they will spend the days, pooing in the street, like savages and hate wealth, do not ever want to flourish by their hard work, then why didn’t their handlers send them to Dubai? The decadent garrish yachts with gold toilet fixtures would be an excellent backdrop for propaganda pictures. They could put a homosexual, a chinese man with a camera and the angry black dude, and the white woman whose face is hidden and was wearing glasses holding up the sign pitting them against the “man”. (like the article about the staged picture in Zucotti park) that was posted yesterday on the Blaze.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 6:19pmI enjoy a good fun story, but am getting very concerned that no one is reporting on the new un-numbered Executive Order published by the White House http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness . I would think this would be headlines in it’s potential.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 12:31amit reads to me that they are preparing, long term, for a declaration of war on someone.and preparing for national defense by stockpiling, and increasing the available resources and labor for for war time production and defense.
Report Post »And long past history shows that when a country or kingdom (Babylon, Meads, Pursians, Rome, etc.) goes deep into debt under another country, kingdom etc., in some cases they are taken over by the debt holder,, and other times,, they resort to war against their debt holder to keep from being taken over to settle the debt. History records it.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 5:33amThat’s just a minor revision of the executive order on National Defense Resources Preparedness signed by President Clinton, which was just a minor revision of the executive order on National Defense Resources Preparedness signed by President Reagan, and so on back to the first executive order on National Defense Resources Preparedness signed by FDR in 1939. If you don’t believe me, just look up the Clinton and Reagan executive orders which are revoked in section 803. In other words, this is a normal part of every President’s job that just seems sinister to paranoids who see everything that President Obama does part of some vast and overarching evil conspiracy.
