Is Anybody Surprised?

Putin's "hand-picked" successor has been elected president. So what? Did anybody expect he wouldn't be elected? In Russia, even though "communism is dead," (riiight!) ALL elections are "fixed," and no one the "top dog" doesn't want to win is going to have any chance to do so. It is said he's already picked Putin to be prime minister.  The only way he's going to lose is if Putin wants him to. Actually, in this fast-moving world, he has already won, by a 70% vote! 70%! That reminds me of the second vote in Iraq, just before we "took Saddam down," that he won by 100%! What happened to the 10% who voted against him in the former election? I'd bet they're all dead or in prison, not able to vote. I'd guess it's the same in Russia, where communists don't "go away," they just change their names. (MSNBC)

When Are They Going to Learn?

It is a known fact that insanity involves doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. This is true of the "anti-gun crazies" who line up to make owning a gun for honest people harder with every mass shooting, completely ignoring the fact that those bent on mass murder don't obey gun laws.  John Stossel says, "How many public shootings will it take before we understand that murderers are undeterred by 'gun free' zones? The best deterrent is always a would-be victim who is trained in self-defense -- with a gun." This was proved in Colorado Springs, Colorado when a crazed gunman entered a CHURCH, the last place he would expect there to be a person with a gun, trained and ready to use it -- on HIM. A lady, ferGawdsakes, put several rounds into him and, realizing "all was lost," he killed himself, making the death toll a lot smaller than he had planned. More guns make for fewer victims. That is fact. If someone points a gun in your face and you have nothing to use to defend yourself, you're dead. Just because they have a gun doesn't mean the average person will "go crazy" at the slightest test and start shooting. Florida has proven that. Since they made it easier to carry a concealed weapon, the number of senseless killings with guns has NOT increased. In fact, the rate of successful shootings has gone down. Remember, no matter how hard it is for honest people to get guns, it is still easy for a criminal to get one, because honest people OBEY the law. It would surprise you if you knew just how many illegal guns are in the pockets of those with a "criminal bent." Those are the people who will shoot you for looking at them in a way they don't like. The only defense against such people is to have a gun in your own pocket with which to defend yourself if attacked. (Atlasphere)
