Virginia Tech Student Stabbed to Death on Campus

Well, there it is. We need knife control. If people did not have knives, this murder simply would not have happened. In fact, we should immediately require a background check for anyone who wants to purchase a new knife. Not only that, but we should immediately start going from door to door looking for knives. Anyone with a knife in their home should either surrender it or, at the very least, obtain a permit for the knives.

Furthermore, knives with serrated edges should be banned altogether. After all, one could argue that some knives are necessary (though this author disagrees), but the serrated edge knives only serve one purpose: cutting. Who in their right mind would spread butter with a serrated knife.

And then, there are the especially evil 'black knives'. Throwing knives, so-called hunting knives, military style K-Bar knives, etc. These, should be outlawed all together. Hunting knives?!?! Come on! Who hunts with a knife.

Finally, for those who insist on having knives, we must make all knives childproof. After all, how many children cut themselves every year, senselessly, with a knife? Knives should have some sort of biometric device that would render the knife useless if it fell in to the wrong hands. Second, all knives must be traceable. Knives should be constructed in such a way as to be able to be traced back to the original purchaser. Of course, anyone who sells a knife, even if they are an individual who may only sell one knife in their lifetime, must conduct an exhaustive background check on the purchaser and maintain written documentation on who purchased the knife. We MUST close this knife-show loophole!

WE MUST STOP THE SENSELESS DEATHS AND INJURIES FROM KNIVES!!!

Yes, knife control is the answer! After all, the American population is simply too stupid to own knives.


Illustrating the absurd by being absurd.

Knife control laws are about as senseless as gun control laws and gun ownership restrictions.

Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there long before they were. A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall.

When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must Have stung quite a bit.

The complaint:

'Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base:

Whom do we thank for the morning air show? Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11 A.M, a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead Mall, continuing west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet. Imagine our good fortune! Do the Tom Cruise-wannabes feel we need this wake-up call, or were they trying to impress the cashiers at Mervyns early bird special?

Any response would be appreciated.

The response:

Regarding 'A wake-up call from Luke's jets' On June 15, at precisely 9:12 a.m., a perfectly timed four- ship fly by of F-16s from the 63rd Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base flew over the grave of Capt. Jeremy Fresques. Capt Fresques was an Air Force officer who was previously stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was killed in Iraq on May 30, Memorial Day.

At 9 a. m. on June 15, his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial Park in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend. Based on the letter writer's recount of the fly by, and because of the jet noise, I'm sure you didn't hear the 21-gun salute, the playing of t aps, or my words to the widow and parents of Capt. Fresques as I gave them their son's flag on behalf of the President of the United States and all those veterans and servicemen and women who understand the sacrifices they have endured..

A four-ship fly by is a display of respect the Air Force gives to those who give their lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators and take our jobs seriously, and on June 15 what the letter writer witnessed was four officers lining up to pay their ultimate respects.

The letter writer asks, 'Who m do we thank for the morning air show? The 56th Fighter Wing will make the call for you, and forward your thanks to the widow and parents of Capt Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was in their honor that my pilots flew the most honorable formation of their lives.

Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you.....Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

The Washington Mall - typically, a beautiful tranquil place. After the departure of the Obamamaniacs, it looks like this:


To his credit, B. Hussein Obama was not directly responsible for this. His left-leaning, earth-friendly loyal supporters are.

Hmm... I think these speak for themselves.

And the assault on our rights begins...

Obama has already targeted our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms with several proposed actions:

1. First, he wants to enact a ban on so-called 'assault weapons'. Really, the term 'assault weapons' is really one of many code words used to describe a semi-automatic rifle. These types of weapons, often mistakenly called 'automatics', fire one shot for each time the trigger is pulled. Obama and his anti-constitution nut-job friends want you to believe these semi-automatic weapons serve no purpose other than to spray bullets at every un-suspecting innocent person who may happen to be anywhere nearby. In actuality, Obama's statements regarding these semi-automatic weapons really only prove his absolute ignorance.
   
2. Obama wants to repeal the Tiahrt amendment. Basically, this amendment prohibits the release of gun sales and tracking information to anyone except a law-enforcement organization conducting an investigation into a crime with a legitimate warrant. Why do average citizens need access to gun purchase records? They do not!
3. Obama wants to force the private citizen to obtain background checks and conform to onorous record keeping requirements if they attempt to sell a firearm from their personal collection. Again, why does 'Big Brother' need to know the details of my personal property transactions.
   
4. Obama wants to make all guns 'childproof'. Again, this is a codeword. The real intent here is to put impractable, if not impossible, restrictions in place for the manufacturers of guns. These restrictions would render the weapons useless in self defence and cause the production and purchase price of guns to be so ridiclously expensive as to only allow the extremely rich to obtain a weapon.
   
5. Obama wants to force all ammunition to include tracking tags. Agian, this would cause the production of ammunition to either be prohibitively expensive, if not impossible to produce.
   
6. Obama wants to eliminate the use of certain metals in the production of ammunition. Hmm, let's make bullets out of silly-putty. That should be real useful.
   

Folks, there are enough gun-control laws on the books now. We do not need more. Instead, we should remove all of the gun-control laws (the laws that have no effect on the criminal anyway) and prosecute the people who break the law! If every potential murderer or rapist knew he would also face a quick, certain execution, murder in the US would stop.

Two last notes for those of you out there who think making death threats toward us is funny:

1. In the state we live in, it is legal and permissable to shoot through the door if you believe the person on the other side of the door will do you bodily hard.
2. Use the contents of this post to determine if you think I own guns.

The sad truth...

In just a few hours, Obama will be sworn in as the President of the United States. If you have followed this blog for any length of time, you know that I disagree with the occupation of the office of the President of the United States by Obama on many different religious, financial, political, ideological and moral grounds. He not only lacks any real expierence as a leader or as a statesman, he is constitutionally unqualified.

Though I have many legitimate reasons to disagree with him, I could care less what the color of his skin is. Anyone, on either side, who voted in this past election based solely on the color of Obama's skin is a racist. Yes, there are as many racists who voted for him as there racists who voted against him. If you can say nothing else positive about me, you must admit that I can at least give you the reasons why I voted the way I did. There are many millions of people who have voted in this past election simply because Obama is a negro, who cannot accurately enunciate even one issue of this past election.

All of that said, though, I must admit that there is one aspect of this recent election that I have not mentioned, yet has throughly disgusted me: the blatent, overwhelming racism. Honestly, I have heard more racist remarks in the last six months than I have heard in all my life. Though I disagree with the morals and political stands of Obama, I can honestly say that the color of his skin means nothing to me. Sadly, I have encountered many, many people who cannot say the same thing.

This is a sad commentary on our society.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

This is our country, our land, and our lifestyle, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But, if you are unhappy with our Flag, our Pledge, our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one great Australian freedom, The Right to Leave.

-Prime Minister John Howard, Jan 17, 2007.

If only we had leaders brave enough to make the same statements.
