THE NRA SELLS YOU OUT ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT
http://dancingczars.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/national-rifle-association%E2%80%99s-first-amendment-sellout/
The NRA isn't all what it's cracked up to be. It has done us serious damage before - as I remember in the early 90s, there was a bill - numbered, coincidentally, 666 about Second Amendment rights.
That was important legislation, and they let us down badly then. Since then, there have been other dubious decisions on their part, and I will tell you that at one time, we had a membership which we gave up because of 666, and not because of any religious connotation.
Gun Owners of America and Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership are the excellent alternative. Go visit their websites and do what you feel is best.
I have never missed NOT belonging to the NRA. That organization is not to be entrusted with our precious Second Amendment rights.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE VISITED SLEEPY CREEK
Today we reached 40 thousand hits - and I am thrilled that you drop by to visit and see what's going on in the USA and in other places all over the world.
What started as a writer/photographer informational exchange, grew into something very urgent and timely as I saw the rise of a false prophet (so to speak), and the cynic in me took over and was vindicated by the lies of exposed, in-your-face corruption in government - the corruption of our beloved founding documents which called to everyone who was oppressed to come and work for a better life in freedom, with liberties guaranteed not by our government, but by God. Inviolable rights. Individual freedom and liberty. It's almost gone. We are almost to the point of no return.
Obama must be impeached, and all the socialist/marxist/progressive/communists/perverts that came in to power in his regime - from the czars to Pelosi, that devil who wears pearls (and probably, Prada), who are trying to stuff our way of life into a toilet - and Obama wields the plunger.
When true conservatives of any party, including independents take over, and they will starting with the next elections - witness Marco Rubio and Scott Brown - and start reversing the damage and the havoc and the evil that this administration has wrought, hopefully with Obamacare, with cap and trade (you can bet they will pass these or try their damndest), and then continue to bring our jobs back with the rejection of NAFTA and GATT, we will begin to live in freedom again.
I hope you energize for a push to shove these people out of office. Do not let the fire die out. The goal of global elitists want an ultimate reduction of 80 billion human beings, you know. The goal also will only have one bank. They will try to frighten the entire global population with pandemics and climate change alarms and if we let them, we will die under their rule.
I would also like to see us removed from the membership of the United Nations, and the physical headquarters moved elsewhere where that dreadful organization is wanted.
Who will be the first in the Congress to stand up and read the articles of impeachment of the president? Who will have the guts to do it?
I know that around the world you have not read just one of these blog posts, but probably many, and sometimes I can track you on the little map in the sidebar - I watched a cookie recipe during Christmas, be passed to neighbors and friends and got a little laugh.
So keep coming back. You are here for a reason, even the dudes who are watching me in Washington, DC and in Virginia and Maryland. To them I say don't be seduced by the man in the white house. Read your Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Concentrate on the Bill of Rights until they are part of your heart, and look at your children. They inherit what you will do now. People overcame huge obstacles and death to get a chance to come here. We were unique in all the world. If Obama gets his way, we will be reduced to the least common denominator, and you will be disposed of, one way or another.
I am just one person and I'm not young. I believe in the goodness of my country, in the freedom of the human spirit and the liberty with which we were blessed. We are individuals. We are proud Americans, and we will not stand for the bullshit the Congress or the President, or those who would control us globally, hands us.
So thank you dear readers.
I'll be back tomorrow.

Sen. Harry Reid wants anti-gun radical nominee for legal advisor to State Department, and a letter to send to you Senator waits for you to send below
Vote Coming to Confirm Anti-gun Radical
-- "Guns Kill Civil Society," says State Department Nominee
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled a Wednesday vote on a State Department nominee who supports gun control on a global scale.
While advocates of the Second Amendment have come to expect that appointees of President Barack Obama would be hostile to the rights of gun owners, the president's nominee for legal advisor to the State Department reaches a whole new level of anti-gun extremism.
Harold Hongju Koh, who served at the State Department under the Clinton administration, is a self-described "trans-nationalist" who believes that our laws -- and our Constitution -- should be brought into conformity with international agreements.
"If you want to be in the global environment, you have to play by the global rules," Koh told a Cleveland audience.
Koh's positions treat our constitutional law as if it were a mere local ordinance on the greater world stage. This is of particular concern to gun owners at a time when the U.S. Congress is under pressure from President Obama to ratify an international gun control treaty with countries in the western hemisphere. That treaty, known by its Spanish acronym CIFTA, would likely serve as a forerunner to a more extensive United Nations initiative, the "Program of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in all its Aspects."
The Bush administration, under the leadership of UN Ambassador John Bolton, rejected the small arms treaty. Bolton plainly told the world that the United States will not accept a gun control document that violates our Constitutional right to bear arms. Harold Koh commented that Bolton was being "needlessly provocative."
In a paper entitled "A world drowning in guns," Koh maintains that a civil society cannot exist with broad gun ownership: "Guns kill civil society," he said.
Koh is eager to assume his post at the State Department, having lamented that there is only so much that can be done from the outside to push gun control treaties, and that ultimately we need people like him in positions of power. The chief lawyer for the State Department is just the position someone like him needs to put his agenda into play.
While Koh's nomination has been delayed largely because of Second Amendment concerns, Sen. Reid plans to force a vote this week.
It is imperative that gun owners contact their Senators and insist that they vote AGAINST this anti-gun extremist.
ACTION: Please contact your Senators immediately and urge them to oppose Harold Hongju Koh's nomination to the State Department. You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center to send your Senators the pre-written message below.
----- Pre-written letter -----
Dear Senator:
The Senate is expected to soon vote on a State Department nominee who supports gun control on a global scale.
Harold Hongju Koh, who served at the State Department under the Clinton administration, is a self-described "trans-nationalist" who believes that our laws -- and our Constitution -- should be brought into conformity with international agreements.
According to Koh, "If you want to be in the global environment, you have to play by the global rules." Well, I don't support global rules that contradict our own Constitution.
Koh supports international gun control treaties such as the United Nations initiative entitles the "Program of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in all its Aspects."
When former UN Ambassador John Bolton told the world that the United States will not accept a gun control document that violates our Constitutional right to bear arms, Harold Koh commented that Bolton was being "needlessly provocative."
And in a 2003 Fordham Law Review article entitled "A world drowning in guns," Koh maintains that a civil society cannot exist with broad gun ownership: "Guns kill civil society," he wrote.
I urge you to reject this trans-nationalist, anti-gun extremist who would place foreign laws and international agreements on equal footing (at minimum) with the U.S. Constitution.
Sincerely,

Having trouble achieving goals?
While this comes from the Belief Net Meditations for Women site, it's relevant to anyone stuck in the quagmires of life. All of us need a kickstart once in a while, so to gently remind you, here are some points you may have forgotten to think about:
The 6 Habits of Goal Achievers
The first step is you have to let go of old habits and adopt new ones. There are 6 crucial habits that you have to master. When you do these 6 things, you no longer have to worry about setting and achieving your goals - you will just do it! And, when this happens, you'll feel empowered, your self-confidence will take a huge leap and best of all, you'll knock down doors of opportunities that before have felt insurmountable.
Habit #1 - Conquer Fear
The first habit is to overcome your fears. Fear is a goal stopper! Think of the goals you have only dreamed of but never made a plan to achieve. Think about how much happier you would be if you could just achieve that certain career, health, financial, relationship or education goal.
Habit #2 - Free Yourself from Perfectionism
There are healthy and unhealthy sides of perfectionism. The unhealthy side leads us to set unattainable, lofty goals that no one could reach. We punish and criticize ourselves until we kill off our faith, hopes and dreams.
Habit #3 - Stop Procrastinating
Many women struggle with procrastination for years. We want to break free so we can achieve professional and academic success, have fulfilling relationships, a cleaner house or even a healthy body.
The good news is procrastination is learned and it can be unlearned with the right tools. This section gives you everything you need to know to break free from the “ball and chain” and begin to live a more productive life.
Habit #4 - Goal Setting and Achieving Know-How
This section of the course is the practical information you need to achieve your goals. You'll learn the strategies and techniques I have used for years to accomplish my goals. In no time you'll have them mastered. You'll achieve your goals faster than you ever have before. You'll also learn about my goal "litmus test." Before you even pursue a goal this will tell you whether you'll be successful or not.
Habit #5 - Victorious Values
Values are your own ideals and principles that guide you in everyday life. Much of the unhappiness that people experience comes from believing one thing and doing another. But when your goals and values are in harmony, progress begins.
In this section I lead you through a value discovery process. You will finish this section intimately familiar with your values. You'll be energized to pursue your goals with vigor.
Habit #6 - Optimism
It's a fact of life that there will always be obstacles that need to be overcome while in pursuit of your dreams. In this section you'll learn how to let go of negativity and embrace optimism. You will increase your resilience and your ability to maintain hope through tough times.
