Margaret Thatcher | Tribute to Ronald Reagan

He believed, and he never stopped proclaiming, that the talents of a nation, not the wisdom of bureaucracy, forge a country’s greatness.
For our opponents, there are always a hundred reasons why the government must intervene to plan its children’s lives. For us, there’s one overwhelming reason why it shouldn’t – because men and women are born to be free.

That’s why just reading – or hearing as we shall – the words of Ronald Reagan is so refreshing. They remind us that men and women were born for high ideals and noble purposes.

… President Reagan didn’t just abhor communism, mistrust socialism and dislike bureaucracy, he truly loved liberty – he loved it with a passion which went far beyond anything else in his political life. It was what brought moral grandeur to his vision of America and to his dreams for a better world. It was directed not mainly at earthly powers and principalities but rather at the infinitely precious, utterly unique human being, wherever he or she was yearning to breathe free.

Obama Blames Republicans for Screwing Up His Roaring, Booming Economy

Obama: Uh, home prices, uh, continue to climb, car sales are at a five-year high, manufacturing has been strong, and we've created more than six million jobs in the last 35 months.

The GDP was –0.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Chicago | Community Organized

I listened to Jesse Jackson yesterday…on FoxNews! The image on this article was taken in connection with a Jesse Jackson speech at the UN. I can barely understand him…and I think he must like speaking his own brand of English. He is my enemy. He advocates “taking” my IRA… and 401k’s. I guess he’s a wannabe king.

Chicago is an example of what Liberalism, Democrats, Socialism, et cetera will do to a society. The community organizer’s city is a den of killings. Marriages and families are in a state of decline. Welfare is a large part of lives.

Emanuel has a crisis, but it doesn’t seem like he’s doing much good with it. Things are going from bad to worse.

Obama should be ashamed, but he’s still pretending that he’s the Messiah. He helped to organize Chicago to be what it is today. Now, he’s organizing the US. Isn’t that just peachy?

What a terrible ordeal this must be for Chris’s wife and his family. I send my condolences.

Monday February 4, 2013  Update: The killer became aggressive in his jail cell, and a stun gun was used to subdue him. He must be in bad shape.

A lady, who is in the bottled water business, called my attention to it. She told me that her business had been targeted also…and that she had been fined.

Violent Crimes Per 100,000 | US | Britain

When I saw this…I did a Google search…and found this on Mail Online.

To be fair… the article says Australia has 92 violent crimes per 100,000.

I found this:

Homicide Trends in the United States, 1980-2008
Annual Rates for 2009 and 2010

If you scroll down to figure 42 in the link, there’s a breakdown of homicides by weapon. Handguns are the highest weapons used. Other weapons…such as rifles… are a lot lower.
After reading these things…I realized that banning weapons doesn’t necessarily reduce homicides. Arson, poison, and many other ways of murdering someone can take place.
