Guns, Knives, and HAMMERS

Guns, knives, and Hammers: According to crime statistics released by the FBI, 496 people were murdered with hammers or other blunt object in 2011, while just 323 murders carried out that year were via rifle. Knives and other cutting instruments contributed to 1,694 murders, and personal weapons (hands, feet, etc.) caused 726 deaths. From 2005-2009, blunt objects were used in more murders than shotguns. http://www.cnnewslink.com/?p=2199

If Interest Rates Rise

The Beast That Reagan Aimed To Starve Gorges Under Obama

There's a very probable chance that this will happen: "And if interest rates rise just a bit, the debt will bury us all — fat cats and thin cats alike."
The decision to risk probable harm to all... is uneducated, tyrannical, and irresponsible. What the perpetrator does in that event... will reveal his true goals.

Negotiate Debt Limit | Sequester

 

A showdown between Democrats and Republicans is looming after Obama warned that he will not negotiate on the debt limit.

Democrats and Republicans are still gauging how best to position themselves for the upcoming debt limit fight, as well as additional battles over steep automatic government spending cuts due to begin on March 1. That will be followed by a March 31 deadline for either enacting additional funding measures or shutting down government agencies.
Boehner said that the debt limit is “one point of leverage” but not the “ultimate leverage.” That, he was quoted saying, is the automatic spending cuts known as the “sequester.”

The article spells out the schedule for “sequester”. It will be interesting to see what happens between now and March 31.
The present projections are: The debt will increase from $16 trillion… to over $22 trillion in ten years.

The President | The Military | Others

The President…the military…and many others take an oath to protect and defend the constitution.

In March 2013 the US Supreme Court will decide whether the Defense of Marriage Act is constitutional.

The Defense of Marriage Act was already declared to be unconstitutional before it will be tried.

The constitution requires the executive branch to enforce laws.

The executive branch already has said that it will not enforce the law.

There has been no punishment of those who violated their oath.
