Land of Fruit Cakes'n Nuts - "Quote of The Day" by Dianne Feinstein

From: drude Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2013 Subject: Quote of The Day by Dianne Feinstein

 UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT IGNORANCE

Quote of the day by Dianne Feinstein.......... Dianne Feinstein: "All vets are mentally ill in some way and government should prevent them from owning firearms."      Yep, - she really said it on Thursday [recently] in a meeting in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee... and the quote below from the LA Times is priceless.  Sometimes even the L.A. Times gets it right. Kurt Nimmo: "Senator Feinstein insults all U.S.. Veterans as she flays about in a vain attempt to save her anti-firearms bill." Quote of the Day from the Los Angeles Times:      "Frankly, I don't know what it is about California , but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office.      I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close.      When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington , we're Number One.      There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'.      The four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab.  You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."      Columnist Burt Prelutsky,      Los  Angeles Times     Be sure to forward this to all of the "mentally ill" vets you know.

o'buffoon - "Send out the Clowns" (video 2m7s)

There is an evil clown.

     "Traditionally, we think of clowns as being funny.  Their job at parties and circus events is to make everyone laugh.

     However, not all clowns are known to be good.  Evil clowns in films and stage productions may look like your average clown, but their behaviour is not humorous.  Evil clowns, who use unusual elements to instill fear, gelotophobia, and loathing, are the classic villains.

     Some children and adults see nothing funny about a clown.  Instead, their white faces and grotesque, painted smiles instill fear and loathing.  This primal fear of clowns is known as coulrophobia."

2nd - Build Gun Shop Sanctuaries to Reduce Crime

Build Gun Shops as Sanctuaries Against Gun Violence 
As posted on December 6, 2013 by Common Constitutionalist at God Father Politicsarticle

source: http://godfatherpolitics.com/13509/build-gun-shops-sanctuaries-gun-violence/
     Imagine you are speaking to a friend.  He claims his kids are straight 'A' students.  The reason they are is that he has developed a system that guarantees better grades.  No matter what the situation, he can better anyone's grades.
     Your logical reaction to such a claim is, "show me the proof."  Don't just throw out these wild claims.  Show me what your children's grades were prior and what they are now.  Then show me that it was your system that caused the positive change.
     It seems reasonable for him to have to prove his system is a success, is it not?  You wouldn't just sign your children on without some proof, would you?
     So why is it that we don't view gun control in the same way?  There is not a shred of evidence that disarming citizens makes us safer, yet the left has been clamoring to do just that.
     There are organizations like Demand Action.org, whose slogan is "Demand Action to End Gun Violence."
     They want us all to "Join more than 1,000 mayors and over 1.5 million grassroots supporters to demand that Congress take action to end gun violence."
     There are self-righteous actors and actresses who cry and plead for us to "Demand a Plan" to end gun violence, many starring in action movies that kill more in the span of the movie than have been killed in all American mass shootings nationwide.   Many also have their own armed security.
Yet interestingly, none of these nimrods is "Demanding a Plan" for a city like Chicago where 80% of those murdered are black and 83% of all murders are committed with a gun.
     According to new crime statistics released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Chicago has become America's murder capital.  There were 500 murders in Chicago last year (2012), the FBI said, surpassing New York City, which had 419.  However, the Chicago Police have disputed that figure of 500.  They claim it was more like between 506 and 532.  Stupid FBI.  The Feds can't get anything right.

     Yet Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel signed the petition Mayors Against Illegal Guns.  How is it possible that Chicago has become murder-central?  Didn't the murderers get the memo that the mayor signed the petition?  You mean that wasn't good enough?
     In September IBD reported that "Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, an avid gun-control advocate and opponent of Illinois' concealed carry law, held another of what has become a series of press conferences displaying guns seized by Chicago cops - some 5,095 in the first 37 weeks of 2013 - along with a lecture on crime and gun control.  But he inadvertently found common ground with Second Amendment defenders when he noted that while guns are being seized, the gun criminals are often allowed to go free."
     "We seize nine guns for everyone that the NYPD seizes," McCarthy said.  "That's not success that we're talking about," he added.  "We're talking about the fact that they shouldn't be here in the first place and when we arrest those people - they don't go to jail."
     Yet, to these leftist idiots, the guns are the problem.
     Not a single gun shop or gun range can be found in Chicago because they are outlawed.  Handguns were banned in Chicago for decades, until 2010, when the United States Supreme Court ruled that the city had gone too far, leading city leaders to settle for restrictions some describe as the closest they could get legally to a ban without a ban.  Despite a continuing legal fight, Illinois remains the only state in the nation with no provision to let private citizens carry guns in public.
     A gun shop has more firepower per square foot than anywhere, short of a military armory.  Ever wonder why we never here of anyone robbing a gun store?  Me either. Therefore logic would dictate that a gun shop is one of the safest places in America, yet the left would have people believe more guns automatically equals more violence and more killing.  And we gun owners are all a bunch of lunatic would-be killers.
     So, as a gun-toting lunatic, I say we "Demand a Plan" to place a gun shop on every street corner in the city of Chicago.  There is certainly more empirical data that my idea is more legitimate than banning guns.  As an added benefit, anyone being threatened by a gun-toting lunatic can simply duck into the nearest gun shop and claim sanctuary.
     Problem solved.

Values - Crime: Public Prayer Booths Work

What a wonderful way to lower crime rates! article source: http://godfatherpolitics.com/13543/kansas-city-public-phone-prayer-booths-helping-reduce-crime/

City officials and police departments all over the nation have been trying a number of ways to reduce crime.   Many think that stripping law abiding citizens of their legal right to defend themselves by banning guns.  One of the favorite methods of fighting crime among liberals is to throw millions of dollars into social programs but it rarely if ever works.
City officials in Kansas City, Kansas just may have found a very cost efficient method of lowering the city's crime rate.  Several years ago, the city began installing phone prayer booths in some of the inner city areas that had high crime rates.  The booths are equipped with a lowering kneeling bar and instructions for anyone passing by.  Not long after the prayer booths were installed, crime rates in those areas began to decrease.
Seeing the results, a number of city residents lobbied the Kansas City council to install more prayer booths throughout the rest of the city to help lower crime overall.  The council complied and has placed more prayer booths in various locations through Kansas City and they seem to be working.  Currently, the city's prayer booths are being used by 100,000 a week and the city's crime rate is going down.
Before anyone hollers separation of church and state, let it be known that the booths are being placed on public park grounds under 'public service monument of arts and counseling to the people of Kansas City.'  Dylan Mortimer, a local artist designed the prayer booths.  After their initial installation several years ago, Mortimer has been commissioned to create similar booths for Chicago, New York City, Las Vegas, Dubuque, Iowa and other cities.
Secondly, they are not just for Christians, but for anyone from any faith to use.  Notices at each prayer booth tells the people that they are nondenominational.  The sign also says that the city is not endorsing religion and that they can be used for other purposes as well.  Lastly, they ask that when someone is done that they return the kneeling bar back to its upright position.
The prayer booths in Dubuque have signs that read:

"There is no literal affiliation with any particular faith per se, rather the piece aims to question the idea of prayer in the public domain. The piece fuses humor, sarcasm and sincerity, and aims to highlight and spark further discussion about the contemporary expression of religion within the public community."

Rev. Miles Collier told a state news agency:

"It is therapeutic, that is how we lobbied them through city council.  We said these prayer booths are not just for Christians, but for any person to take a break to close their eyes, ask out loud for what they need in life and just take a break from it all. It is like having a free counseling session."

I've been contending for years that there is a direct correlation between the removal of God, Jesus, the Bible and Christianity from society and the increase in crime and moral decay of our nation.  Nothing can exist in a vacuum and when you remove the only true source of morals and values, they are quickly replaced with immorality and a lack of values and decency.  The end result can only be an increase in hedonistic pleasures that leads to more crime against others and the eventual decay of society.
This has been repeated throughout history, but nations never learn and eventually yield to the godless liberals that are hell bent on destroying another nation.  But in the case of Kansas City, they are giving the people a chance to return to some of their spiritual values by erecting the prayer booths in the city.  The usage of 100,000 times per week demonstrated just how much people need and want to pray.  It also demonstrates that giving people back even a hint of faith, can have a very positive effect on such things as crime in the area.
Now if they really want to reduce crime, all they need to do is put God, Jesus, the Bible and Christian values back into our schools and government.  Then and only then will America stand a prayer of a chance of returning to some of its former morals, values and glory.

word origin - Sheriff

Today's English counties were shires, which is why we have Lancashire and Nottinghamshire.  Over each shire was placed a Riff (rifleman) one of whom became the shire-riff of Nottingham.

Today we call them Sheriffs.
