Time to leave CT

 Well, gov. Dan is one step closer to bankrupting this great state! This latest erosion of our constitutional rights will cause business to accept better offers from  states that are not tiring to put them out of business. When they go, they will take people with them, not only their employees but it will also effect all their subcontractors. When they move, and they will find suppliers and subcontractors that are close to them instead of having parts shipped. Dan is also forcing people who believe in the 2nd amendment to start looking for states that stand up for our rights! If you can leave Connecticut  go! don't look back! Can't leave just yet? Now is the time to start looking and maybe buy that retirement place and start spending your money in a state that appreciates you.
 I urge all Connecticut residents to vote out anybody that voted for this useless bill! Republican or Democrat, if they voted for it they need to go! We need people who use common sense and don't rush through laws in a knee jerk reaction to appease a small group of people. We need people that can take the tough stance and look at the whole picture and make unbiased decisions that will actually solve a problem not just pass a feel good useless law.
 They keep saying this new restriction on our rights is what most people want, that they are just looking out for us, if this is what the majority of the state wants, why not put it out for a vote? Could it be that they really don't want to hear what we the people have to say?
DHS has a massed unimaginable amounts of ammo, light tanks, and portable bullet proof check points, for use against who? U.S. citizens? Why? Still not sure about all this? When they take enough of the 2nd Amazement can the 1st be far behind.
It is said that history repeats itself, does any of what is happening parallel history any where?

CT gun rights restrictions

Once again Dan Malloy is sending CT straight  to hell! This new 2nd amendment restrictions will do nothing but punish law abiding gun owners and further erode our rights. Legally obtained guns are not the problem,  we have enough laws now, we just need to enforce them and enforce the penalties not plead away gun violations.
Restrictions on  mag capacity will not solve any imagined gun issues  Laws on mental health capacity would make a much bigger difference.
We have laws against racism, we are taught no to judge people because of the way they look or what the wear, so we should be prejudiced against certain guns just because of the way they look?
This is all just a knee jerk reaction to tragedy  it is just an other excuse for the government to erode more of our unconstitutional rights. DHS has purchased over 1 BILLION rounds of ammo, bought light armored vehicles for use in the U.S.A. , bought bullet proof vests,and bullet proof check points and at the same time has  slowly disarmed the law abiding citizen, WHY?
Police departments have all switch to semi auto hand guns with high capacity mags because they "were out gunned" by criminals, what about us law abiding citizens? Police are NOT here to protect you! They only show up after the fact! You are the only one there to protect yourself and loved ones, aren't you entitled to the same chance as they are against and armed intruder? Why do police department need 30 round mags for their assault weapons? How many innocent people have been hurt by police firing way to many rounds and not hitting the intended target?
We all need to remember the people who vote to restrict our constitutional rights and vote for who ever runs against them in the next election whether republican or democrat.
Our elected officials think they know what is better for us than us, or they would put things like this out to vote of the people! ( either way they will still be entitled to their personal protection)

Gun control? How about personal responsibility!

Ok, I have waited over a month to see how the knee-jerk reactions would pan out. As I thought, all the blame was on the inanimate guns, not the person who pulled the trigger. This person was apparently an intelligent individual and well versed in computers and the Internet, as  seen by his foresight to  effectively destroy his computer so that the even the government cannot trace his on line activity.
 Gun control programs worked as needed, proved by the fact that he was denied when he tried to purchase guns before the attack. Now, here we have an intelligent, Internet savvy person intent on causing harm, he has been stopped from legally obtaining firearms, what does he do next? If he had not been able to steal his mother’s guns would this have ended his plans? He was determined individual who planned things in advance and would have found some other way, the fact that he covered his online tracks we will never know if there was a backup plan that could have been worse.

 Oklahoma City was the worse attack in America (until 9-11) and no guns were involved, yet we can still buy fertilizer!

 Instead of punishing legal gun owners lets restrict the mentally impaired people who miss use them! Let’s test all school students for potential problems and all those that need some help or drugs, and then publish their names and addresses so that we all know where the potential problems live.

 Yes, I know, gun owners have a responsibility to properly store and control access to our guns, and by the same standard parents have a responsibility to protect us from their unstable children. Oh, wait my child is not that person; he/she is just going through a phase, no what? I will move him/her to a different school just do not label him/her!  There are too many parents who do not get the help their child needs because they are afraid of what people will think of them as parents.
Instead of having doctors ask us about our legal firearms let’s ask teachers about the kids in their classrooms. Teachers spend more "up close" time children and see their interactions with others than most parents; therefore teachers should be the first ones to point out needs. These needs should noted and referred to professional help, parents should have to follow up on these and provide proof that doctor/professional has seen the child.

 A lot of people say the second amendment is out dated and referred to weapons at that time and has no bearing on today’s firearms, well the first amendment was written in a time of a few newspapers, does that mean it does not apply to television and the internet? Because without the second it could happen!

Is it to late?

Every wonder what the Romans and Egyptians were thinking about as their

time as the most powerful civilization drew to an end? Did it slowly creep on them so that one day it was to late? Did they even realize they were losing their place as the culture to be looked up at and emulated? Or did they quietly fade in to history with no clue?

We are at, or some say past, that tipping point! We must stand up and fight against the downward slide that faces our great nation! If we do nothing just the gravity of events will pull us down and keep us down, we must stop this ever increasing slide into a second class power!

Don’t believe me? Open your eyes and just look around at current events. Attorney General about to be cited with contempt, Obama  using executive privilege to protect him, illegal immigrants being given free passes, the economy the worst in decades, and the Presidents plays golf.  The secret service is partying with hookers, drones spying on U.S. citizens, and the world LOOKING TO CHINA for guidance not us.

We have given up our place as the top economy in the world and surrendered any rights for respect in the world. How many people do you know that can honestly say they are proud of our elected officials? Yet how many actually do anything but complain? Do they even change who they vote for or just pull party levers, because it is all the same? We need to stop worrying about what is in it for us and worry more about what is in it for U.S.!

We need to start holding our official to the standards of the office we elect them to, no more “oh well what did we expect”. If they are doing something we don’t approve vote them out!  Don’t wait for them to be convicted if they are headed in the wrong direction turn them around.

They media only reports what makes them money and promotes their party line. It used to be the news was impartial and less biased. Now we are only presented with what “they” think we should be told.  Wake up and smell the decay!

I wish I had easy answers and magic path back. No one person can pull us back by themselves. We all need to get involved in our own well being, not waiting for the government to take care of us, feed us, medicate us, and give us money. You want something? Work for it! It is time to end government hand outs! Yes there are truly some that need help, but help, not hand outs.

Ross Perot was right, “Hear that sucking sound?” Remember when he said all our jobs and manufacturing was leaving? Well, believe him now? Can we get them back? Not without a fight and government will to stand up to other counties. We need to stop sending money to countries that don’t like us and don’t want our help. You cannot buy their friendship. How many offered to help us after hurricane Katrina? Stop sending aid to all these other places and spend our money on U.S.! Can you imagine what we could do for poverty in our own country with all the aid we send overseas? If we spent all the money we send overseas on infrastructure here, we would stimulate the economy and put Americans back to work.

Though out our history we have help out all over the world because we were the superpower and felt obligated to help. Well we are no longer the superstar, we need to look inward and repair our own house before it collapses.

We cannot wait any longer waiting for thing to get better by themselves! Every day we read about more of our elected official under investigation. We need to elect people who are qualified for the job not because we “need a change” or they present well. NO! Look at their past performances and actually think about what they can do. Stop being so damn politically correct and say what you really think. Be that individual and not a sheep. This country was not made great by “don’t rock the boat” individuals. This great nation was founded and made great by people who knew how to say what they thought and not back down. We have become  a nation afraid to offend someone or hurt their feelings. Where would we be if our founding fathers were politic correct and did not want to offend the King on England.

Sorry, I have rambled enough for now.

One last thing……..

Jump up and down!!!! Rock the boat!!!! Make you voice heard!!! Help get this nation back to being the great nation it was and can be again!!! Vote for only we can save this nation!!!

President out of touch with America!

Check out this link... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/9152796/Malia-Obama-guarded-by-25-Secret-Service-agents-on-spring-break-in-Mexico.html. Notice it not a U.S. paper! The American press is so pro Obama that they never print any thing that might cause you to say " wait a minute! I haven't had a real vacation in years and they have had 16(?) in 3 years and now they sent their 13 year old on spring break to Mexico! Don't they care how hard we are struggling to just make ends meet?".

I don't know about any of you but as a thirteen year old my spring break was playing baseball at the local field with anyone who was interested. Americans are struggling with rising gas prices, taxes, and food bills. We should not have a leader that flaunts his excess in our face and the fact that WE ARE PAYING for all of his wants! I wonder how many vacations they went on before the elections? Never mind all the weekends playing golf and the "date" nights with trips to N.Y.C. that, again, we pay for.

It truly amazes me that our news people, with a few exceptions, don't point out how much the Obamas have cost us with all their personal perks, not to mention what his policies have cost us in freedoms, money and respect! If any other President  attempted these outrageous abuses of office, the media, as a whole would have them accounting for every nickel spent! Makes you wonder what kind of spell (hold) he has over them.
November can not get here soon enough! Not that we have great alternatives, but four more years of this and as a country we may not even be a shadow of what we once were!
What we need is a LEADER, not some one who bows to others countries and apologises for the U.S.A being a strong  world force! We need some who can draw a line in the sand and stand in front of it, not some who keeps erasing it and says "sorry did not really mean it, where would you like to have me stand?" We need some one who tell the U.N. where we stand, not some one who bends us over for the U.N..

Dangerous Dan

Governor Dan Malloy in his speech about teachers said "To keep your job "you should have to continue to prove your effectiveness in the classroom as your career progresses,'' Malloy sternly concluded."

This from the man that gave unions a 5 year contract with no layoffs!
 This is typical of his of style. Never mind what I did for them I going after you, don't apply logic!

Should we apply this to him? how about a mid term re vote? lets see if the majority of the people keep him! No, I don't mean take a poll, we all know they can be slanted by the way or what questions are asked.

I think he just like to make these type of statements to get people riled up and not thinking about how bad our economy in Connecticut really is, lost of jobs and manufacturing that we will never get back, tax increases and spend millions of dollars on projects that create few jobs( divide the cost of the proposed addition to the hospital by the number of jobs to be created.)
Or the New Britain bus way, come on now, really?
He is headed for one term lets make sure that's what he gets!

Malloy's dictatorship

Governor Dan Malloy wants things his way or no way, and does not want any real discussion on his agenda! There are many example of this through out his first year in office.  His my way or no way attitude is driving this great state further down. Of course I have my own interest to look after and will only point out some of the things that bother me the most( we all start with our pet peeves). Some of this was related to me by other people.
The wholesale wine and liquor distributors tried to have a meeting Dan about all the changes to Connecticut  liquor laws, and were told that if they did not agree with Dans views there would be no meeting, he did not want to hear anything that might not match what he wants.
 Another meeting with some package store owners and a state rep, the owners were told that unless their store does a million dollars a year, that they will not survive and that the state expected 50% of  stores to close!
How does this attitude create jobs and build our economy?
And where is MADD?  Longer bar  hours.... longer store hours..Sunday? more drunk drivers? where is their outrage? Have they traded silence For some promise in the future?
Why the rush to push this through?
What else has Dan done for us? Union contracts with no layoffs for five years? don"t you wish you knew your job was safe for five years no matter ? When he make these changes will he guarantee  package store owners a job for five years? If he thinks these changes will be such a boost for the state maybe the state should buy out all the package stores and run them, then they can have five year contract and not worry about their families!
Traveling all over the world on our dime? what does his traveling to these places have to do with helping us here in Connecticut?
Lets make sure Dan is a one term Governor! not that he cares, he has probably made lots of friend in rich places!
