Top Tier 2nd Amendment CandidatesTo earn a spot in our top tier, candidates need to not only have a strong track record of supporting the Second Amendment rights of American citizens, but need to be not just gun owners themselves, but real shooters… not just on the campaign trail, or in theory. Rick Perry (R) — The two-term governor of Texas not only spends a lot of time on the gun range with his collection of firearms, but has been known to carry a concealed handgun, which he’s famously used to shoot and kill a coyote that threatened his dog during a morning run. He would seem to easily have more trigger time than any other candidate, and has a solid pro-gun record in of…

I am certain the elite and the intelligentsia have a solution. If they don't then I am sure the European citizens themselves will come up with one . . . . And it ain't gonna be pretty. http://gatesofvienna.net/2015/09/muslims-are-flooding-occupying-and-destroying-europe/

Followers of the religion of peace strike again. As usual the main stream media attempts to keep the crazy Christians calm by not "printing all the news that fit to print". http://gatesofvienna.net/2015/08/beaten-to-death-with-his-own-bible/#more-37184

One. A gunman attacked passengers on a high speed train from Amsterdam to Paris, Three Americans, two of them servicemen overpowered the gunman A British businessman also joined in at the end. When asked by journalists what he thought at the time, he said "I thought I was going to die anyway, so I might as well have a go." These are all considered heroes and will or have met the French President. Two. I had a text from my daughter "One of the planes just crashed." My wife then told me my daughter had been at Shoreham Air Show, I switched on the TV just as a breaking news message came up that a Hawker Hunter fighter from the 1950s had crashed on or near the busy A…

The American people are so easily fooled by the rich. Donald Trump got rich and successful by his cunning, not his wisdom. When I contemplate his tough talk on foreign policy and his bellicosity and his lack of wisdom I fear his finger on the nuclear button. I think the only candidate running in either party that would not go to war with Russia (on purpose or by accident) is Bernie Sanders. Do I think Bernie Sanders would be good for America? NO WAY! I find myself in the same position I was in at the last election. Ain't none of them fools gonna' buy my vote. http://www.wnd.com/2015/08/donald-trump-warrior-male-extraordinaire/

News reports say that 400 migrants, including children, drowned when their boat capsized. 145 were rescued by Italian authorities. It is believed that 1000 have drowned this month. Italian ships have rescued 10,000 this year. Over 15,000 have arrived in Italy this year. tens of thousands are waiting in Libya to try to cross the Med. The Italian Northern League, a far right group, says they should not be rescued as it only encourages others to try. Meanwhile Greece is setting up reception centres on the mainland to cater for those who arrive on the Greek Islands. In Calais there are said to be about 1,900 would be migrants wanting to get to the UK.. Eleven or more…

Pres. Obama has told the BBC that it is Important that Britain stays in Europe so we have a voice in the world. What does he know. Europe ignores our views. If we don't have a voice in Europe how can we have a voice in the world. Europe frequently overules our laws and our judgments. If Obama thinks the EU is that good, why doesn't he try to get the USA to Join the EU? I can imagine what reception that would get.

Watch this video. Listen to the "husbands" statements. Sound familiar? The wife's remarks? Sound familiar? The same reasons were invoked by the homosexual agendaists when they pursued their right to marriage equality. Now, watch the new fight proceed. And guess what? SCOTUS will vote it's OK under the 14th amendment. Guaranteed. They have to because they gave the rights to homosexuals using that excuse while gutting the 10th amendment. Who's next? Ephebophiles? Marrying their adolescent "lovers" with parental permission? Marriage equality between consenting people. OK, now that I've gotten that out of my system. I wanna go back to the early 20th century when America wa…

Frankly, I wonder who anoints who as a "Christian leader". I am not talking about the politicians here that are involved in this. To me they have that right. But by the Bible. National Religious Broadcasters president Jerry Johnson, Pastor John Hagee, and Franklin Graham. Not to mention the RCC people. Who anointed them, Fox? Now these guys just might show up everywhere. As my spokesman. lol. I don't need a spokesman. The Bible says it. Now they are going to get on there and try convince people that don't know the things of God. With the natural mind. About the things of God. Its like hitting a brick wall. In my opinion. Pastors trying to Pastor a "Chri…

I wanted to put this up here. Your good Christians. You didn't want this to happen of course. We have a flood of porn. Television filled with sin among other things. Just remember God hands people over to a reprobate mind. The floodgates are open now. I assume they are going to move to make this very acceptable to people I don't know. This could get really rough on a lot of people including the young people. What's good is we still have freedom of speech and we can preach the GOOD NEWS all day day long. The Gospel saves no other way. Time to get to work.

Pat Buchanan is not sure. Because I love my children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, I hope we will. From Buchanan.org/blog/ NATO-Russia Collision Ahead? Tuesday - June 23, 2015 at 12:26 am By Patrick J. Buchanan “U.S. Poised to Put Heavy Weaponry in East Europe: A Message to Russia,” ran the headline in The New York Times. “In a significant move to deter possible Russian aggression in Europe, the Pentagon is poised to store battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and other heavy weapons for as many as 5,000 American troops in several Baltic and Eastern European countries,” said the Times. The sources cited were “American and allied officials.” The Pentagon’s…

Today is the birthday of the Magna Carta, a 12th century document which sought to place control on the powers of the king. More than 5 centuries later those men who formed the Constitution of the United States had read and studied the document in arriving at their ideas of what controls to place upon the government to assure freedom for the citizens of the land. The Magna Carta as well as the Constitution of the United States have both become museum pieces over the ensuing years since the writing of the Constitution. The government in all it's branches have usurped powers that once belonged to the people and at first slowly, but now quickly, it is becoming the tyranny …

You may remember a report I posted on here sometime ago about a couple who had been taken to court for refusing to accept a homosexual couple in their hotel. They had death threats and their property damaged and their business boycotted. English Heritage refused to accept their advertising anymore. anymore. (I hadn't realised that. We are members of English Heritage and will have to cancel our membership. Here is an update from the lady concerned. I hope you can view it. http://www.christian.org.uk/news/hazelmary-bull-speaks-at-support-ashers-event/ Sorry that link should work.

Ps 17 Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. 3 Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou has tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. 7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou…

Probably less than you thought. It seems There is nothing money can't buy in today's world from those whom the people trust enough to give their vote. "Out of the total $1,148,971 given, an average of $17,676.48 was donated to each of the 65 “yea” votes. The average Republican member received $19,673.28 from corporate TPP supporters. The average Democrat received $9,689.23 from those same donors. The amounts given rise dramatically when looking at how much each senator running for re-election received." http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-05-30/how-little-it-cost-bribe-senates-fast-tracking-obamas-tpp-bill
