• Burglars Force Homeowner Into Closet – And it Turns out Very, Very Poorly for Them

  May 19, 2013 at 12:22am

  An elderly woman defended her home in northern California & she was intimidated by law enforcement & her gun was taken away & she won’t ever get it back. The perpetrator was homeless & trying to break into her home while she was in it & she told him she was armed & that she would shoot & she even fired the mandatory warning shot before she aimed it at him & pulled the trigger. The guy was still outside but was reported to be shouting at her & threatening her & she shot him thru a window & they think they are doing her a favor by not charging her with a crime. That is only one of the reasons why the 2nd Amendment is in place. Ordinary sane citizens can think for themselves & they know when they are in danger & they can even police themselves & should. The police have done nothing to help this woman in this instance & have now in fact handicapped her by taking her firearm & there is a good chance she will be denied the right to own another, so now she has no way to defend herself. There was speculation the guy was armed with a knife & if so presented a type of deadly force but I know people personally who can kill with their hands or an everyday pencil. I hope she killed him because if she did, she did the rest of us a favor. This guy had no business in her neighborhood which is miles away from any of our so-called homeless help programs & if this guy was an ex-con of which we have too many as they release them willy-nilly into our general population, he deserved to die.

• Pastor Who Stunned Christians With Gay Marriage Endorsement Explains: Believers Are ‘Not Inclusive on This Issue…They Are Homophobic’

  I don’t only believe that God speaks to the living but I know that God is watching & the human race is failing. Try judging us from afar & what do you see. If we were supposed to be caregivers to this world, we failed. If we were supposed to appreciate what we were given & the beauty of their creation, we have failed. We seem to do nothing but question the validity of our gifts & what is apparent. We try to explain away our perversity by saying anything goes, but that isn’t the truth of it. We could have done better, but we didn’t choose to & that is the crux of the test. We think we can create in our own image but the truth is we can’t create anything without using something that was created by God. A man is beautiful as a man & a woman is beautiful as a woman & understanding that much has become beyond us. I choose to enjoy myself as I was created & not surround myself with perversity & chaos & that is my choice. I choose to be as healthy as I can be in this world & I choose a way of life that will bring me joy naturally because I don’t need the twisted thrill of doing something wrong to sustain me. I prefer to embrace the truth of all things because to face the truth is to be strong enough to deal with whatever reality tosses my way. God is watching & I would be very careful of what I claim is God’s will because how can one know an entity that is obviously so far beyond our complete comprehension. I suspect every religion on this planet is wrong & the truth will prev

  Interesting point. Stress leave might work.

  These people make me ill because the real underlying issue here is they want to legitimize sodomy. A man can have a deep abiding friendship for another man & a woman can have a deep abiding friendship for another woman. It’s called brotherhood & sisterhood, but what is really up for discussion is the physical aspects of a same-sex relationship & that is plain wrong because it is not healthy. Anyone who tries to justify that aspect is perverse & corrupt. Anybody who tries to explain that homosexuality is normal is perverse & corrupt & doesn’t know what they are talking about. The real issue is whether or not a person will deal with what they were given at birth or whether they pursue their choice of abnormal. Some people prefer chaos in their lives & they will surround themselves with it in any shape or form, but the point is it is a choice. No one ever said it was necessary that a man ultimately find a wife or a woman ultimately find a husband. Deal with the truth of who & what you are, but don’t try to convince the normal that the abnormal is acceptable. People who willingly choose corruption are pathetic & an abomination because they become less than what they really are & that just makes them cowards as well. If we legitimize same gender sex, what’s to stop people from having sex with animals or their children or fish or dolphins or whatever. It’s just another thrill drug like getting away with something wrong. Get real.

• N.Y. Dad’s Pistol License Suspended Over Something His 10-Year-Old Son Said — and It Could Be 8 Years Before He Gets It Back

  If we cannot say the word gun, then it is an abridgement of our !st Amendment right. If we cannot own a gun, it is an abridgement of our 2nd amendment right. If we cannot rid ourselves of these politicians who abridge all our rights, then we are overdue for another revolution. We the people, in order to form a more perfect Union… etc. What don’t you people understand about the simple Pursuit of Happiness. Haven’t you all had enough now? Tyranny is not an option here, it never was. There are no royals here, ever. Those who purport to place themselves above the rest of the population as elitists are not doing their jobs & are not American patriots. The Amendments were drawn up to prevent these very things from happening. If they don’t support us, they are against us. They are our servants, not the other way around. Without us, they are nothing & they have nothing. When you have teachers who are not intelligent enough to understand that boys talk about legal things like paint guns, BB guns, water guns, Nerf guns, etc., you get rid of them or you pull your kids out of public school & place them somewhere else where they are not persecuted. When you live in a state who does not support your basic rights, you move or you elect others who follow the laws. You have choices. No one said it would be easy.

• Are Young Americans Waiting Too Long to Get Married? TheBlaze Explores This Phenomenon

  I think the same things could be said about men – Will tell you anything, will do anything, etc. It seems to me if it seems too good to be true, it isn’t true. Some things can only be judged after time, which is the biggest reason for long engagements with a minimum of 2 years. Some people have a more mature mindset & can make a good marriage after a shorter time but it’s really about the maturity & realistic expectations. If it didn’t work for you, ask yourself what the problem was. Just the main problem, not all the little ones. Marriage is about giving & getting in return. If one of these is missing, then you have a problem.

  How about after you can support yourself & actually have time for someone else & before you get pregnant?

• Dem Congresswoman Mocks Concerned Pro-Gun Senior Citizen: ‘You’d Probably Be Dead Anyway’

  In reply to whater39.

  Accepted. But I must point out that the people who committed these mass shootings probably shouldn’t have had access to any gun in the first place. So, were any of them actually cleared by thorough background checks? Or did they just appropriate someone else’s gun? You wouldn’t feel this way if you were attacked by a gang of criminals or rioters. A friend of mine was killed by an Oakland mob just because he was white & he was working late as always. If he had possessed an AR-15, it might have saved his life. Think about that the next time you mouth off about gun controls. The morons now out-number the thinkers & the irresponsible now out-number the responsible. Get real.

  Slavery isn’t socialism, it’s personal profiteering at the expense of the lives of others & the only reason it was allowed to continue is because we were a fledgling nation that needed the resources to fight the war. But it wasn’t long after the birth pangs that it was forced to a closure & eventual reparation that many have forgotten. The people of the northern colonies did not profit directly from slavery, they only purchased the goods that were manufactured from the crops managed by slaves. The plantation slave owners of the south were the real criminals then, but that is all ancient history now & has no bearing other than the attitudes adopted by the ignorant. Supporting ignorance & laziness in this country has ruined the American dream & the gene pool to boot. My solution is get a life or get a job or get a patron because bankrupting the working populace to subsidize the useless has never worked ever in all the history of the human race because there is no incentive to work for something if you can get it for free. The takers now out-number the producers & the system has failed because it was not kept intact. There is nothing wrong with co-ops or churches helping those in need or those down on their luck but it was supposed to be a temporary fix until the crisis is past. I say again – If you can’t make it on your own you can’t make it. Families need to take care of their own. We need to strive to succeed. Else we fail sooner or later.

  Dear OM,
  While I respect your right to your own opinion it sounds like you haven’t been personally hit by the policies of the current pres. & some of us have. A little socialism is not what made this country great & is what’s tearing it down. If you truly understood what this country was founded on & what allowed it to grow so fast so successfully you wouldn’t make such statements. Socialism is what’s killing us. Paying or sharing one’s own gains with someone else should be an individual consideration. I don’t want to support people who won’t make sound decisions & won’t support themselves. I don’t want to pay for your birth control. I don’t want a racist bigot who isn’t an American loyalist as Pres. Chris Kyle deserves better. We all deserve better. Self-interest is what voted this last time. The vote needs to be restructured because people aren’t voting for their country but for handouts that shouldn’t be happening. If you can’t make it on your own then you can’t make it. Life is hard & making it harder on everyone else does not make it easier. Socialism, communism, fascism – They’ve all been tried & they fail every single time because we are all different & you can’t design a box to fit everyone. There is no reason to succeed anymore because you will be punished if you do. How much sense does that make & why bother.
