ASSAULT “TYPE” WEAPON
I have been seeing this phrase “Assault Type Weapon” in the news almost every time a criminal or nut case shoots someone. They always describe the firearm that was used in the shooting as a weapon that is “Assault TYPE”
From Fox news today:
“Banks said the suspected shooter – who was armed with an “assault-type rifle” and a handgun — also was dead inside the club . . . ”
“It appears he was organized and well-prepared,” the chief said, adding that the shooter had an assault-type weapon, a handgun and “some type of (other) device on him.”
This is a term that has not yet been explained in any way that makes sense. First, an Assault Weapon is any weapon that is used to ASSAULT someone. And among the things that have been used to attack people and kill them are:
Screwdrivers
Knives
Nail guns
Basball bats
Ice picks
Pistols
Rifles
Bombs
Hammers
Cleavers
Fists
Glass shards
Metal rods
Acid
Boiling water etc . . . etc . . . so on, so forth
And these people that are insisting that there are assault type weapons are not being specific. In fact, in reality, anything that can be used to attack someone is an assault weapon. And therefore should be phrased as THE WEAPON USED TO ASSAULT, not an assault TYPE.
WHAT IS AN ASSAULT TYPE WEAPON?
This overlooked fact will be lost on the public, who assume that an assault type weapon just looks like whatever your imagination cooks up. I am guessing, that they are referring to a rifle that appears to be in the style of an weapon only legally used by those in the military, among others. In other words it “looks like” a type of weapon.
I’m assuming they are referring to fully automatic firearms, which are, and have been illegal for someone without a special license to actually own.
These firearms will shoot multiple rounds of ammunition, one after the other, with one trigger pull held down. They are legal for our military to carry and use, and only people who go through an extensive process can become licensed to own one. I am assuming this is what an “assault type weapon is” in the minds of those that use this phrase.
The point is, you, as a regular person in the United States cannot just run out to the store and buy one. You as a regular citizen cannot just go get a machine gun to use.
A style is not a category of function. There are many weapons made to appear to be scary looking, but only shoot one bullet at a time, and many of them little bitty .22 shots. They appear to be like an assault weapon, and YES they can be used to assault someone. But a knife is an assault weapon, and appears to be just exactly what it is. You can chop veggies with it, or you can kill an intruder or not with it. The function is what you actually use it for. The description is that it is a knife. The style is what it looks like:
Actually I was wrong there. It’s nothing but a knife until you stab someone with it. After you stab them, it then is an assault weapon. But not an assault “type” weapon.
No, wrong again. It’s the weapon used to assault them with. Oh my, I’m getting confused. It’s all sooooooo confusing. Which is the point, I think.
Do you see what is being done here with the English language? It’s an important distinction that is being used to create a whole new category of scary weapons for the public. And it also makes perfectly legal to own weapons, the ones that are not fully automatic weapons so scary that they can move to ban having them.
They don’t ban nail guns. And a nail gun can be used to shoot someone with. OR NOT. It can also be used to nail things together. I hesitate to mention it because now some criminal is going to be going to Lowes or Home Depot to get one. Heck, a saw blade can kill someone, albiet very slowly. Sheesh. Why don’t they gather up all those phsychos?
People who are American citizens go through a legal background check to be able just to carry a pistol.
People who are American citizens are fingerprinted, background checked, and VERIFIED as to whether they are a felon or a wife beater or a murderer, OR a phycho.
And lastly, People who are American citizens also are required to take a training course which doesn’t JUST teach how to safely shoot a firearm, but teaches when, where, and what you are not supposed to shoot and in what situation this is permissable. The courses for just THAT part take hours to complete, and you have to pass a test after this and if you fail this test you do not get a carry permit. You are supposed to be prosecuted for illegally applying or somthing like that. Don’t hold me to this statement, I’m not sure about the specifics on being prosecuted for that. Anyway, you should be.
So before you ignore this term that the media is using, the term “Assault Type Weapon”, think about this.
That regular rifle that someone got for Christmas one year to go target shooting with is being defamed with a crap phrase made up by people wanting to have all guns confiscated.
And it’s also pretty darned obvious to me that “Assault Type Weapon” is not the only “catch phrase” that the corrupt media outlets are using nowdays and for quite some time.
Pay attention to the way people say things. Don’t assume they say what is true.
I heard somone on PBS one time refer to a not automatic weapon as an automatic weapon when it was NOT an automatic weapon. They acted as if they didn’t even understand the function of one or the other.
It’s important as hell what come out of their mouths. So, if it’s fair for people like that to lie about the truth, then it’s fair to TELL the truth in response.
This article is from the writings of Mr. George Jenias in response to Al Gore and Obama
If you’re in the desert and there’s one green tree growing, and there’s fifteen people there, all of them will be trying to get under the tree. If you’re talking about air pollution, the tree doesn’t breath air, but it does its part in cleaning air.
We have in the United States and all over the world more factories, hotels, motels resturants, houses, outbuildings, garages, sheds, airports, storage areas. We have millions of roads that have to lead to every one of these buildings from one end of the world to another. And we have to concrete them, blacktop them, coat them, right up the the doorway of everything.
On a day when it’s a reasonable temperature, between 85-90 degrees, take your shoes off, walk down a concrete road, or especially a blacktop when the tar is starting to get hot. You can’t take it. So run back in your house with an asphalt shingle roof, turn on your air conditioner that makes more heat outside so you can cool your hot feet off inside.
If you have temperatures that are around freezing, everybody builds a fire or contributes to energy use in one form or another. Which produces pollution in one form or another. If you cut down all of your trees to build your fire in the wintertime to keep your ass warm, what shades the earth, what keeps the air cool, what stops land erosion?
Additionally from there were set off hundreds of Atomic bombs above ground In the United States (number) and elsewhere in the world (number). So how much pollution, radiation, heat, and dust were thrown into the air from those wild ass ideas of how to destroy our world?
AND nobody questions this when wondering why so many children have come down with various kinds of cancers and dreaded diseases including immune system disorders. They even have research hospitals dedicated to “finding out” how to cure all this. Like you don’t already know what causes it.
These same people that have figured out how to destroy our world have made it thier lifes goal to figure out how to kill us with all their pollution and the things that they convinced us would be good for us.
And then they tell us that if we want to live, we must pay them millions of dollars to treat all the diseases that they caused in the first place. Which doesn’t work because for every pill you take to cure one thing there are ten side effects that cause something else to go wrong with your body. Like all of your good ideas before.
———————————————————-
Now because you cut down all the trees and plowed up all the land without ever once thinking that all this DIRT that you eroded is going to go to your river, and then to your ocean. If you don’t believe that every time you see a flood look for pretty clear clean water. You’ll never see it.
All the land around all of the oceans is continuously being washed away, slowly being degraded by the destruction of topsoil. If you go and dig a pond, a lake, that has no other escape for the water but evaporation you will go back in 50,60,70 years, and this pond that you dug 15-20 foot deep will have mostly filled in from the water runoff from the land around it.
The ocean tides come in and go out every 24 hours. Just stand in the current of that wave and experience the force of it. It is even much stronger during a storm or a tsunami. See if you can imagine how much soil, rock, and debris that might take into the ocean. Even better watch the footage of the Japan Tsunami and see the houses and cars being rushed away.
Now, go get you a bowl. Fill it to the rim with water, and see how many handfuls of dirt you can put into it before it runs over. I have never heard of dirt, stones, and debris washing UPHILL.
And we would have to go down to the ocean banks and drag thousands of warships and planes off the bottom of the ocean from when we had a storm and they sunk. I’ll bet they displace a lot of liquid. So what makes you think the rocks and dirt are going to come back stupid.

This was an email that was sent by a man to ********* after seeing him speak on TV about Obamercare
——————————————————————————————————– My reaction to even thinking about the “Affordable” health care. But first, a background
on welfare abuse from the perspective of one that has witnessed a lot of it.
NOTE: This is NOT about disabled, senior citizens, military vetrans, low income working class people, those that have lost a job and really cannot find work, or those in a temporary situation such as the death of a spouse. It is for those who are completely capable of working but would rather sit around like they are owed something.
I am remembering that my spouse and I have sat in front of the TV, and every night that we watch the news about the healthcare proposed changes, we got more and more depressed about those things that seemed as if we could do nothing about.
Being retired and having a fixed income means that it does not change to make up for anything the government decides to add on to it. That means you get a check for the same amount every month and it never changes. It doesn’t get more when the food prices get higher, or more when taxes get higher, or more for emergencies, or more for anything. Medicare, and health insurance that doesn’t cover office visits for us. And if there is a yearly deductible of $1000, then we have to sell something we own to cover that. We are running out of things to sell.
In our long working lives we have seen the welfare system create a generation of people that are parasitic on those in the United States that work hard for a living, who work to pay their own way, EVEN when sometimes not able bodied enough to do so.
During a time when I was too old to be doing it, I cleaned up (and repaired) many of the government rental houses that were trashed by them. I once fixed the walls in a rental home that had at least 500 holes in each wall. Another had a floor that was so slick with grease that you could not walk without falling down in the kitchen. In the bathrooms of these places you dare not sit on the toilet for fear of catching something that you couldn’t get rid of. All the toilets were stopped up, all the places were filthy.
DCS would come in every so often to inspect the hourse while they lived in them. The DCS official inspector would say:
This house is not fit to live in, that these people need a house that has screens on the windows, (but it had screens when they moved in) The carpets are filthy, they can’t live in these conditions (The carpet was brand new when they moved in) The door frames are broken (They were not previous to the tenant living there) The commodes don’t flush, the lines are stopped up. (Okay, they were working when they moved in) The linoleum in the bathroom is torn up (Again, it was not, it was brand new when they moved in) The wood is rotten around the tub (It was brand new when WE installed it before they moved in) The walls have holes in them (I personally patched some that appeared to have been shot with a shotgun) The kitchen drains don’t work (same thing) The stove is full of grease and is a fire hazard (no kidding)
And anything else that you can think of that is messed up, neglected, and destroyed such as the safety bannisters on the entrance steps and the steps was the responsibility of whomever owned the property. But the whole point of this list is that the house, according to DCS rules was unfit to live in. Which meant that the welfare recipient now got a whole new home! Actually it turned out to be a whole new house to destroy. I know this because I was one of the two people that repaired these homes and cleaned them afterward.
I would find old mail they had left that showed what their incomes from the governement checks had been, and bank statements that showed what they had wasted that money on, such as wide screen tv’s and much more.
At that time I did not even have a home of my own, even though I was working over 10 hours a day, no weekends off, and had no health insurance. I did this for many years before I could afford to have a home of my own.
At that time, I learned that these young people, with children that they had birthed, even though we now in modern times have birth control, were getting from the government, (and by default from my pocketbook), rent, food, benefits and such.
And that these benefits totalled more per month than I made in TWO months.
I thought: “I took birth control and never had a child out of wedlock.” I thought: “I do not even have the time to attempt to correct these problems.” I thought: “They get this for free, and STILL trash the house?” I thought: “They are younger, stronger, and have a place to live.” I thought: “They are having babies, and going to the hospital with them” I thought: “What am I going to do if there is an emergency? I’m not a minority” I thought: “Now that I’ve ruptured the tendons in the bottom of both my feet,
how am I going to pay for it? They dont’ have any problem. They have health insurance”
My point is that the money was and is there until you give it all away to some lazy, good for nothing person that will:
Only have indiscriminate sex and doesn’t bother to use birth control.
Can afford enough food stamps to feed themselves to an obese state and . .
Eat until they weigh 400 pounds and claim “fat-disablility” and at the same time running around the grocery store in an automated cart.
ARE disabled because they are so overweight they can’t hold their weight up without damage, or causes heart problems.
Have babies one right after the other without getting married to keep the government check coming each month.
Make the government (i.e. US the taxpayers) pay for it all.
Pretend to have a disability long after they have recovered
Then sit around watching tv at home instead of getting a JOB.
And I still pay taxes that pay for their babies, fat, housing, medical, and lazyness, greed, and sloth. And I have had to watch people like that on YouTube demaing their “FREE STUFF”
It is all out of control, and so are they, and so is this government. It’s called “RE-DISTRIBUTION”
And among the things that cannot be controlled:
Birth Control without an abortion. (But then each child ups the check amount so that’s not expedient)
Birth Control although there are ump-teen kinds you can purchase over the counter.
Birth Control even though your free health care can get pills for that.
Birth Control because closing your legs might be one option
Eating because eating the most fattening food will help a lot with that cholesterol problem
Eating because eating more shows how much control you have over your greed
Eating because even if you get too fat to stand on your own two feet, at least you don’t have to work
It angers me badly that the government whines about there not being enough MONEY. There always WAS enough money. It has been given and is still being given away. The people who work to support all this are angry too, more than enough. It is being wasted by the billions, millions, TRILLIONS. You can’t even imagine in your brain what a million dollars even looks like can you?
We have watched our benefits and those privileges that were originally intended to be given to United States citizens, be arbitrarily handed over to people from other countries that are NOT citizens, NOT tax payers, and do not even know the English language. And many of them marry U.S. citizens to do just that.
And some states are now even voting for or allowing non-US citizens to VOTE. Fancy that. They get to vote on things that affect MY life. They get to help decide what laws are happening, and what affect the lives of a US citizen. How odd is THAT?
It should be a requirement that if you marry here and live here, then you should learn English and become an American citizen. And not before that should you be allowed to gain those privileges. At least I thought that was the way it actually worked.
In fact, many of them do not even like the United States, and say so quite openly, even though they live here and benefit from what U.S. taxpayers pay taxes every year for. Social Security was never meant to be used for anyone that wasn’t a U.S. citizen. But now I hear that is not the case any more.
And they say that the Social Security System is in danger? How odd.
And what about the jobs that are given away every day to other countries? That’s a whole separate subject.
And what about borrowing money from countries that do not even like Americans? You do know that if you borrow money, you have to have collateral. What is the collateral for THAT? THE UNITED STATES? And when you default on a loan? Do you lose your country?
And what about buying United States property outright? How soon is it that the whole of it is owned by other people in other countries?
————————————————————————————————-
We watch the news all the time now that we cannot work. We are amazed, mollified, upset, angered, horrified, and any other word you might apply to this situation. We found out some of the reasons why people that work cannot make ends meet even though they work like dogs to do it.
We watch our tax money already being used to finance people who breed indiscriminately and then let us pay for their fun PARTY time and lazy slothful ways. We have paid this way our whole lives, but in the early years this was not the norm. So we have a reference for government benefits. These benefits do not somehow apply to us. In order to recieve those kind of benefits you have to fit a category that is not totally us. We make just under $100 too much to qualify for the “FREEBIES”
We are not even middle class. We have an ancient house that will never be done working on. We got it because it was cheap and a wreck, and a place to have a home, hoping to make a lot of improvements to it over the years. And can’t even afford to get the foundation fixed.
We worked to have our house. Nobody bought it for us. And we worked so very hard to pay for it that we damaged our bodies to pay those bills. Now we need help because we have paid the bills all our lives, and they are bleeding everyone like us totally dry to pay for the people on welfare already.
Do you honestly think that we can afford to pay more taxes to furnish health care for those that are the way they are by choice? As far as I’m concerned, before they start thinking about taxing US citizens to pay for them, they had better weed out those that are really needy. In other words:
THOSE THAT DID NOT CAUSE THEIR DISABILITIES. THOSE THAT DID NOT CAUSE THEIR DEPENDENCY ON OUR PAYCHECKS
And let me be very plain on the subject. Government money IS our money. But it’s made out to be as if it is a bill that we owe this group called government.
I am getting to be the age where not having an income is a real worry. If I were young and strong like I used to be, it would not be a problem. And I worked, and I still work. I resent giving part of my work and life to any lazy person. In fact I resent it entirely.
Find some other freaking way to pay for them. I’m tired of it. And I can’t see paying for someone else’s health care by spending any part of my life doing it. Even if I’m not totally covered myself. If I can’t afford to pay for the total health care that I have, then how am I supposed to cover the extra taxes to pay for their’s?
=========================
If this sounds like nothing like an article on The “Affordable Care Act”, then lets go there.
Your average person, us included, doesn’t even know what this complicated bunch of papers, “the healthcare bill” MEANS. They have not read it, and should they attempt to do so, it is so full of legal jargon and wording the average person could not understand that you need a lawyer to interpret it.
Additionally, most of them also do not have the time to read it, even if it could be understood. They just know what they want. I am a part of both of those groups. I am very articulate, can write like a fiend, but understand all that? Good grief, what those opposed to the bill must be having to go through trying just to make sure nothing out of the ordinary is being done. How could you police such a thing.
But for the person that works for a living, and doesn’t have health insurance, they are puzzled that the welfare recipients have this and they do not, even though they are working like fiends to keep the bills paid and food on the table quite literally. They don’t have time to do anything but that. In my case, when anyone would ask if I had seen a certain tv show, I’d tell them I did not have time for that either.
They do not feel that they can do anything about it. They feel as if the rich and the powerful people in the United States, and the poor lazy greedy people can get what they want, and the rest of us have to take whatever law or thing is decided from up high.
I believe this is another social program that is fixing to go the way of what I previously described. If welfare programs can’t be monitored for those that abuse it, what makes anyone think that healthcare payed for by other working people is any different? At least with Social Security and Medicare (basic), you are expected to pay into the system yourself for a period of time before being able to draw out of it. OH, I forgot, they changed that TOO!
My questions are:
IS THERE A SOURCE ANYWHERE THAT COULD EXPLAIN WHAT IS ACTUALLY CONTAINED IN THIS BILL? AND IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IF YOU DON’T AGREE?
Please if you have a solution, email me back and let me know.

And some more great links to parodies on this subject:
Religious beliefs, sex education, politics, the Constitution of The United States, Civil Rights, gun rights, Presidential facts, Indoctrination, etc . . . Basically all the moral things is what is changin’. Hey, it’s up to you to verify these events, but I thought they might be interesting. I found them on a search for “Common Core” I ran out of time again, so I’m quitting here. If you have any links you wish me to add send them to me!
This was a long search with many links. I only quit on the links because I run out of time to do it. And I added links to perks and retirement packages at the end.
I have long wondered why my local news has not been the same for several years. It seems to no longer actually put much news on. In fact, what they put on for news is crap like giveaways, stupid dog tricks, how to do chain saw sculpture, but not news.
It started out just being a little annoying. After paying attention closely I found it was much more than that. It was downright SPOOKY. Some media outlets actually are partly owned by other countries! And some of them also own companies that do quite different things than give out news.
In light of all of that I thought it expendient to post links to some places to get information about the media (newspapers, radio, etc.) and how it works nowdays. Included are links to how censorship and propaganda work.
There should be an understanding of what rights you have if you are an American citizen or want to be one. There should be some kind of complete understanding of what the BILL OF RIGHTS, THE CONSTITUTION, THE FEDERALIST PAPERS, and the writings and history of America in our history books, at school, and wherever people are to become or apply for being American citizens.
As far as I know if you aren’t an American citizen, you don’t have those rights, but probably I’m one of those stupid taxpayers that need to learn better some history. If you do have those rights without being an American citizen, then I guess my public school is at fault for not teaching me about this secret history. More likely I was too busy working for a living and paying in taxes that pay for those perks that only other Americans have a right to.
I remember being told by a vet from the Cold War that when he was in Germany he was required to watch a movie and listen to some sort of long lecture on the German people when he first went there. Is there somthing like that when immigrants come here to the United States of America? If not, there should be.
I am probably one of the millions of uninformed Americans. For instance, I hear about illegal aliens coming here, living for years, having babies, putting them in public school, living whole generations and not being American citizens. I hear that billions are costing for the health concerns of people that are not American citizens. The money that pays for that comes from American citizens that work for a living. They donate many hours of their lives in the form of hours worked and money in taxes. I understand that a percentage of immigrants work for a living. But do they pay taxes too?
What I don’t understand is who is paying for the American benefits that they recieve all the while they are doing that? I’m going to have to research this further, because I’m probably stupid and don’t know the real facts.
It must have been a scary life. Hiding, wondering if you’d be found out. Hoping your children could grow up without being found out. Worrying that you’d be sent back to whatever hell you came from. And your kids? Did they think they actually were American? Or were they worrying the whole time, their whole life that they would be sent back themselves. Or that you would be sent back without them?
But did anyone thank tax paying Americans for funding all of this? Are we funding this? Hey dummies, the government runs on money they get from other people called Americans. Americans are the ones that give dues to this club they call America in the form of money from their paychecks. The government workers don’t even get a paycheck if American money isn’t payed each year to the government.
STOP CALLING IT GOVERNMENT MONEY. The government does not create money. The government collects it from taxpayers, citizens, American citizens.
It (The Government) would not have money if citizens did not give it to them. The Government spends money. It spends the taxpayers money. And it is becoming abundantly clear that it spends it many times without permission, discussion, or anyone even knowing about it. If you have a secret budget, then you have secret spending.
And if I’ve been paying for some hidden costs, then I want to know about it. Some of my tax dollars ought to go towards a newsletter of some sort that comes out monthly, or a flyer, or SOMETHING, that tells me where all my tax dollars are being spent.
Because I totally spit up on the idea of people getting American benefits when they aren’t even willing to become American citizens. I totally spit of on the idea that NON AMERICANS can get up and protest anything they hate in this country.
The rules of the club of America are needed to be read out loud, and broadcasted to everyone in America. Why we don’t have a public protest over that subject I don’t know. Because if people who aren’t American citizens can get up and protest loudly, and men who pay taxes, and are sent to possibly die for their country cannot protest this, then will I protest myself.
And I actually have the right to do that because I am an American Citizen.
My relatives were living in the Americas before it was the United States of America. (NOTE: I do not believe that makes me better than a recent American! And . . . I never knew those old people, I’m not old enough) My parents were children of immigrants, or their parents were, or their parents were, so on and so forth. Other relatives were native Americans. My father and mother paid taxes to the government, so did I. And they taught me to be an American, as did my teachers in school.
Every morning before starting classes in grade school, we said the Pledge To The Allegiance, and sung a patriotic song, and said a prayer. We put our hand over our heart in respect to the American flag, and America. In fact, the American FLAG was standing in the corner at the front of the room in each and every classroom, and stayed there day and night. We could see it all day long in class! We bowed our heads when we prayed in respect to our God and Country. We learned Respect and Reverence for this country.
(NOTE: I do not believe that everyone should be required to have a religion, as that is illegal in the United States Of America anyway) Worship as you like, or don’t worship at all. If you’re American you are free to choose. You just don’t have the right to make other people in America worship the way you want them to.
Anyway, whenever we said the Pledge of Allegiance, at the end of the Pledge, we would say “Indivisible, under God”, our little hearts swelled with pride, sometimes bringing a tear to our eye. We were taught many other values, but being an American we learned what all that meant.
I say all this not because I think that it’s my way or the highway. I am only describing a process and patriotism that people who have lived here for long years experienced. A description so to speak. Each country I guess has a similar process that they teach children, but what we teach children here is unique. But here in America we are no different. We think we are special in many respects.
YOU CAN DIE TO KEEP YOUR COUNTRY
Our ancestors fought and died by the thousands to even have this country. And many more have died fighting to keep it. I am lucky to even be here, because my father could have been one of those that did not come back after World War Two. So please keep this in mind when you read what I believe is the opinion of most Americans. Those of you who came from countries that you got chased out of understand the implications of all this.
AMERICA, THE LOYALTY CLUB
You get certain good things from joining the American Club, although there are some requirements. You swear loyalty to the flag and the Constitution of The United States of America, The Constitution of The United States (for which it stands), and you pay dues in the form of taxes. You gotta love America and be loyal to what it stands for. (I’m big on the loyalty)
You can’t just be a foreign person that comes to The United States and sit your hind end down on the land in this country, and say you’re here, you hate America, give me some stuff I deserve it, or I’m needy, or poor me, or I can’t help it, or whatever excuse there is for not going through the membership process, and the loyalty part. Presently, (aside from the absence of a lie detector test) there is no measure of loyalty except the willingness to swear to it. There is a line of thought that says you ought to take a lie detector test to prove it. I tend to agree.
All you have to do is say it. Some people take an oath like that seriously, and others do not. The ones that don’t should be slapped roundly, because not meaning it is a lie, and that makes you a liar.
If you don’t do these things then you can’t be part of the club. (NOTE: the lines are attempting to be blurred here too and most Americans don’t approve of that) All the many people demanding rights when they are not even members of the club enrages many. They don’t have those rights because they have not met the requirements for being a real American citizen. There is even an ongoing dispute as to what a natural born American is. Fancy that.
JOINING THE CLUB OF AMERICA
If you are not a member please apply to be one, then fulfill the requirements of membership, and then you’re an American. If not, then you’re not an American, and you’re not a member, and you don’t have the rights of membership. Go home if you don’t want to join and be loyal and contribute. Being an American is not just all about your rights, it’s about everyone.
It’s against the law, for you to have American rights and not be an American. Especially using money from the taxes that other Americans pay that are paid by everyone that has citizenship to waste. That’s one of the requirements. (although nowdays I’m not so sure because the lines are being blurred, and extremely so)
And that is why those Americans that see this happening get extremely angry. They are not bigots. They are not prejudiced except to the point that what’s good for the goose is also good for the gander. THEY have to follow these rules. And they believe anyone else that comes here should too. It is an injustice to do otherwise. It is not fair to those Americans that are following the rules of the club.
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN AMERICA
And P.S. Most everyone here mainly speaks English so learn a second language (the one most people understand here). When you drive a car the roadsigns are in English. How the heck would you read them? Even if you memorized each and every one, when they put up roadsigns with emergency cautions for emergencies, those are quite frequently different than the regular ones. Note, Amber Alerts?
And all policemen don’t know any other language than English. You see the problem here.
It might take a while, you might not do it perfectly, but people, on the whole appreciate just the fact that you are making an effort. Who gives a poop whether you have an accent? The point is that you are trying to communicate. People appreciate that. Then most everyone will understand what you’re trying to say. And it won’t be so difficult for you to get around. The down side of not doing this is that people get a puzzled look on their faces and shrug a lot and not understand anything that comes out of your mouth. (what if you need to find a bathroom?)
We even teach our children not to ask and not point for what they want. We require them to speak instead of pointing.
Free speech is about communication, not acting like an untrained child. Of course you are free to do that, after all it’s America.
If you learn English then you also can also understand who and what you are voting for and not have to reley on what someone else tells you about the people running for office. Sure Americans come from all kinds of countries, we all know that. We understand how difficult it is to learn English, especially for the elderly. But get with the program and people will start to understand your point of view.
YOU ACTUALLY LEARN TO BE AN AMERICAN, AND TO BE FREE
If they really are an American, each person actually learns how to be an American at some point or another, whether you grew up with it, or just recently came to it. If you come here and bring your UN American ways of living and thinking, then you get the comparable results to what you used to live. You want to be a Communist, Marxist, Socialist, then leave it where you came from. Americans never did want all that control over their lives, and still don’t. If you basically think that people need to be controlled by some other source that knows better what is right in this world, then that thinking does not fit here in America.
Being free doesn’t mean free to take what doesn’t belong to you. It doesn’t mean free lunch, free government benefits, free housing, free money. (Even though it has been temporarily made that way in some ways, and which other people Americans end up paying for.) It doesn’t mean free to hurt other people. It doesn’t mean free to take whatever is handed to you and then be disloyal to everything that America stands for. For sure it doesn’t mean burning the American Flag.
America would not be special if anybody could just hop on over here and take what they want, get what they want, American or not. And the requirements are not sacrificial. The requirements are not strenuous. They are not hard to do.
FREE means free to speak, free to live without someone spying on you and taking your stuff. Free to make yourself happy and be whatever you decide to be. Free to practise whatever faith you want. Free to own your own part of land and home and place to raise your children. You don’t get that when a government controls all aspects of your life. You don’t get that from other governments because the ability to make decisions has been taken away from you and given to the government.
WHAT ANGERS AMERICANS
Most Americans are angered when someone that is not an American Citizen comes here for an education or to work and then proceed to try to influence everyone else to their way, the way they lived or do live in whatever other country. Or, like several that I have met, baldly bad mouth anything American while they benefit from what is in America. Most Americans would say without hesitating:
“If you don’t like what we are here. If you don’t like America or Americans. Then go back to your own country.”
In other words: If you aren’t a member of the club then you don’t deserve to get the perks. Especially since the perks are paid for by other Americans. Don’t call it government money because it came from taxpayers. And they worked for that money. That’s why they get so upset when it’s wasted.
THE SACRIFICES THAT CONTAIN THE LOYALTY
And additionally, Americans believe that what we enjoy was paid for with great sacrifice and payment and again, LOYALTY.
If you act as if you hate America, Americans, and the things that it stands for, then people wonder why you decided to become and American in the first place.
There must have been SOME reason that you thought it a good idea to be American. If you are a new American or old. Why is it that you love being American? Why did you decide to be an American? Why did you leave somewhere else to be an American? What can you do as an American that you could not do where you lived before? If you are an American, would you move to another country and change your nationality?
From the time I started to work there was no time to watch news or even much time to do the essential things that needed to be done. For over 15 years I worked 10-12 hours a day with no weekends off. Time to watch TV? No way. I barely had time to get home, take a bath, eat, and go to bed, getting up at 4am to start all over again. By the time I finished with this routine I was retirement age but still couldn’t afford to retire. I retired anyway in protest.
How many other people in the United States live with this kind of routine? Even if they don’t work as many hours as I did, I’m sure there are thousands that are so busy with the responsibilities of simply living and taking care of a family that have little to no free time for anything else.
But, it was at that point I started watching the news, and I was in for a big surprise. Over a period of 4 years, I watched the news become about local stuff that had nothing to do with what was really going on.
I kept asking myself:
“Where is the news?”
“Did they eat it up?”
“Was it swallowed by someone?”
Gradually, but regularly news that you could find on the internet, or on a few stations became about . . . NOTHING. Well, nothing but lotteries, advertising, the local clown fest, and nothing that was news.
And I also found, quite by accident, that if I stayed up late till early in the morning I could get some of the real news. For instance PBS had news on at 2-3 am. But that routine can really screw up a sleeping schedule. And it also begs the question. Why would they put real news on at a time that nobody that lives would ever SEE IT? Who, except someone that doesn’t work would ever stay up till 3am to find a news program? Most nobody that I know.
The national networks even did not display the whole truth, but instead became biased in one direction. They would leave information out, not report the whole story, many times not even reporting a story that was significant to everyone in this nation. What news that was reported was very biased.
And over these last four years it has become extremely strange in this respect. This total absence of news started becoming very fishy in my mind. I wondered if anyone else had noticed this lack of news?
DID I MISS IT ALL BECAUSE I DIDN’T HAVE CABLE or DISH TV (pay tv)?
Hey, I didn’t have the money or time to get these things. Therefore IF I had time to watch anything, it had to be over antenna tv. Question: How many people still don’t have or cannot afford to have Cable or Dish TV? I guess they gotta get their news from the same antenna tv that I did (but first you have to have time to watch it)
WAS IT BECAUSE I COULDN’T AFFORD THE INTERENET OR EVEN A COMPUTER?
Well, I DID have a computer and internet. But I didn’t even have time to check email because I was WORKING. But what about all those thousands of people that don’t have a computer, don’t know how to use one if they did? Or those, like me, that didn’t have time?
WAS IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T TELL CITIZENS ANYTHING?
You would think that there would be some kind of newsletter (you pay for everything else with your taxes) You would think there would be some kind of notification from the government whenever they pass any kind of bill that affects your whole life. (you pay for every OTHER kind of pamphlet they put out, even if it doesn’t involve you)
It is inconcievable to me that I work like a dog for years, furnish the money to pay the paychecks of someone else, furnish the money to pay for people who don’t work, and they cannot even put out some kind of thing that tells what they are working on that affects my life.
What do American Citizens do if they can’t get the information they need to maintain some semblance of what is going on in their own country? And how do people that have time to figure this out get information to people that don’t have Internet, pay tv, or whatever?
And key to this is: How do you tell people who don’t have access to the real news about the real news. You can post it on the internet all you want, but if someone doesn’t have a computer and knows how to use one, how do you get that information out?
If someone doesn’t have time to watch tv, how do you get information about the real news to them?
Any ideas? I need ideas. Oho, here’s one:
Lists of things that the U.S. Government didn’t tell you. And that will be my next article I think.
IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS THAT MIGHT HELP PLEASE CONTACT ME
The U.S. National Debt is a rather large subject, which I do not totally myself understand. It’s one of those multiple article things, and you’ll probably be better read about it than me. The top ones on the list are Hong Kong, Belgium, Luxembourg, Russia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Brazil, Japan, China, and Guess what? The United States of America! Go figure . . . And to think that I have to hesitate before buying essential things. What a crock of . . .
They talk about spending much more than these amounts (our government) They give these amounts to other countries all the time. They also spend more than this on stupid stuff, which is a subject for another post. These high dollar amounts put me in supreme shock. But, nonetheless, here are a bunch of links that explain large amounts of money. It’s hard to wrap your head around anything much less a mountain of money. As alway, if you have a blog or a link that pertains to this subject, send it to me and I’ll post it to the list on this page. I’m wantin’ to disseminate information everywhere, like littlebittyeagle appleseed . . .
I wanted to know this too, since they say America The United States Of is one of those. NOTE: There is some discussion about it being an OLIGARCHY, and I don’t know what that means, but I’ll do another post on that. Then I’ll know the answer to that question.
These are links from my first page “300 questions about the United States”, which I decided needed to have thieir own page. There are actually very few places to find this kind of information that I searched on, but here is the short list:
From The 5,000 Year Leap—A Miracle that Changed the World
By W. Cleon Skousen
The utopian schemes of leveling [redistribution of the wealth], and a community of goods [central ownership of all the means of production and distribution], are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest all property in the Crown. [These ideas] are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government, unconstitutional. ~Samuel Adams (p.119)
US Constitution Series 7: The Proper Role of Government is to Protect Equal Rights, Not provide Equal Things
Equal Opportunity, Liberty of Enterprise, NOT Equal Income, NOT Free Stuff
In Europe, during the days of the Founders, a popular idea was that government should take from the “haves” and give to the “have nots” so that all might be truly “equal.” However, the American Founders believed that this idea contained a huge fallacy.
