Editorial

Voter Fraud

David A. Lombardo

 

Let's face it: the liberals have declared war on the very fabric of American life as we know it. Can anyone doubt that there is a concerted, orchestrated effort to undermine and eradicate the very philosophy of what made this country great? The concepts of personal independence, self-reliance, responsibility, honesty and morals are anathema to the liberal agenda to implement a new world order where a chosen few will dictate what's best for John Q.

 

While proof abounds, the most obvious key to its implementation is total disarmament of the citizenry. Not a single gun control argument has any basis in fact. It's all feel-good diversion from the truth: an armed populous cannot be subjugated.

 

In an environment where even many Democrats are turning their back to liberalism, what liberals rely upon is that conservatives are civilized. What they fear most is fair elections. The liberal mantra is, "voter fraud is a myth." As they continue to implement new, more effective methods of controlling the voting process to their benefit, when they get caught with their fingers in the till, the answer is always, "you're paranoid," "it's a fluke" or "the machine is out of adjustment."

 

But the record speaks for itself, whether giving illegal aliens the ability to vote, goon squads carrying baseball bats blocking some voting locations, a busload of people claiming to be local area voters, voting machines that register a Democratic vote when you push a Republican candidate's button, outright stuffing the ballot box or deluging the public with radio, television and print advertising with outrageous character assassinations.

 

Liberals will do or say anything to win this midterm election, and they're counting on you either not bothering to vote or being stupid enough not to notice what they're up to. The time has arrived for conservatives to wise up and realize that being civilized means being victimized. Every single conservative must vote in the midterm elections.

 

If you live in one of those areas where liberals have planted goon squads in front of the polling place, go in strength; go with a dozen other conservative voters and be ready to defend yourself if necessary. Check your ballot, be sure it is what you intended and be very, very loud and vocal if it mystically changed by itself. If you're a poll watcher, be vigilant and have the State's Attorney's office on speed dial. Call them at the slightest whiff of voter fraud.

 

Cut out the civilized crap and get in the trenches of this war. The stakes resting upon this election are the most significant in history-literally redefining the core values of American culture. Just consider what this lame duck socialist president can do with the help of a liberal Senate. It is time to take this country back. For God's sake, go vote.

SAF sues Illinois over

restrictive FCCL residency requirements

 

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Illinois, challenging that state's concealed carry statute that restricts otherwise qualified non-residents the rights and privileges of carrying concealed firearms based solely on their state of residence. Joining SAF in this legal action are the Illinois State Rifle Association, Illinois Carry, Inc., and ten individual plaintiffs, all residing in other states, who are licensed to carry in those states. Under the restrictive Illinois statute, only residents from states with "substantially similar" requirements to obtain a carry license are allowed to apply for non-resident licenses. Only four states currently qualify under that provision. They are Hawaii, New Mexico, South Carolina and Virginia. None of the individual plaintiffs reside in any of those states. According to SAF Founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, this situation is not simply unfair; it is untenable and, we believe, unconstitutional. Those named as defendants in the lawsuit are Attorney General Lisa Madigan, Illinois State Police Director Hiram Grau and Jessica Trame, Bureau Chief of the State Police Firearms Service Bureau. Plaintiffs are represented by attorney David Sigale of Glen Ellyn, Ill. "This lawsuit," said Sigale, "is brought because it is unfair that otherwise qualified people from states outside Illinois, who work and travel in Illinois, are barred from obtaining means to defend themselves in public solely based on their state of residence. We expect to correct that."

Anti-hunters lose as FWS

rejects attempts to stop lion hunting

 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) rejected the claim that the African lion merited listing as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. After a long and comprehensive review of the species' status, which included information from the foremost lion researchers in the world, the FWS concluded that the African lion simply is not on the brink of extinction and did not merit listing as an endangered species. The FWS concluded, "Sport-hunting was not found to be a threat to the species at this time." This conclusion is a blow to the anti-hunting rhetoric put forward by organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States and International Fund for Animal Welfare. The FWS's conclusion contradicts the assertions made by these anti-hunting organizations in the petition they filed with FWS to have the lion listed as endangered. The on-the-ground facts and the science simply did not support their position. "By rejecting an endangered listing, the FWS has officially recognized the reality that the African lions are not actually on the brink of extinction. More important, today's decision will likely help further the cooperative efforts of the African nations and the many organizations and individuals who are working to study and ensure lion populations are sustainable today and into the future," said Safari Club International Foundation President Joe Hosmer.

Massachusetts educrats lose minds

over students' hobby

 

"Massachusetts Educrats (which, tellingly, practically involves both public school superintendents and what masquerades as "law enforcement" in these dark times) have turned airsoft guns that were never on school property or at any school event into a suspension or even an expulsion. Airsoft guns, as most of you know, are toys that shoot plastic pellets. If your kids play with them, they should wear eye-protection and maybe even a face mask, but they are less painful than paintballs," Mark Home wrote in an October 31st article in Political Outcast.

 

Home goes on to explain that boyfriend-girlfriend pair Tito Velez and Jamie Pereira dressed up for their public high school homecoming dance. Tito's father took pictures at the Velez home. After snapping formal shots, the couple began hamming it up. They posed with their Airsoft guns at their home, and the dad snapped that picture too. Then they apparently went to their dance and hopefully had a good time since their doom was fast descending upon them.

 

One of or both of them put their pictures on Facebook tagged "Homecoming 2014." So the superintendent over Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School where Velez and Pereira are juniors-the aptly named Richard Gross-saw the picture, perhaps because someone complained, and suspended them.

Anti-gun billionaire:

'We need more school shootings'

 

Liberals truly have no shame. Leo Hohmann, news editor for WND, reports that Seattle venture capitalist Nick Hanauer, who was one of the early investors in Amazon, has donated $1 million to the campaign for stiffer gun control in his home state. "It didn't take long for some progressives to exploit the tragic shooting at a Washington State high school as they used it in an attempt to gain support for a ballot initiative requiring expanded background checks on all gun transfers in the state," he said. Within hours of the Oct. 24 shooting that claimed the lives of two students at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, one of the billionaire backers of the Nov. 4 ballot initiative posted a link to the story on his Facebook page with the caption, "We need more school shootings!!! Vote yes on Initiative 591." The posting by Nick Hanauer, a Seattle venture capitalist from a Democrat family, was excused as "sarcasm," according to gun-rights advocates in Washington. I-591 would prohibit background checks and has the support of the National Rifle Association. Hanauer is one of the top financial donors to the organization pushing I-594, a competing ballot measure that would require background checks on almost all gun transfers, even short-term loans between friends and family members. The Facebook posting by Hanauer was removed sometime late Friday. Meanwhile the news came Monday morning that a third Marysville student, 14-year-old Gia Soriano, had died overnight of her wounds at a hospital in Everett. Imagine if a pro-gun person had made the same comment. It would have been in every paper and on every television news show in the country, but a liberal gets a pass, as always.
