I'm a member of the Flat Earth Society

First, the Keystone Pipeline has been delayed indefinitely. Secondly, the gulf of Mexico oil development has been slowed. Now, the president has declared war on coal. This country is run on energy and every attempt to develop current sources is hampered while the rest of the world is gobbling up these sources.

Our influence in the world is declining. Just look at the way China and Russia has responded to The NSA Snowden issue. Our influence is rapidly declining in this world. Thanks!

Anarchy in the Future?

Many articles in the news these days is about people who disobey laws. For example, The NSA Edward Snowden leaks classified information to the public about possible illegal acts of the NSA with no regards to possible espionage law breaking.

A majority of the Colorado sheriffs say they will not enforce the new gun control laws to become effective July 1st. Another example of defiance of a law that the sheriffs has deemed unenforceable and unconstitutional.

Eric Holder, the attorney general, stated recently that some immigration law. I cannot recall which immigration law he stated he would not enforce. I think it had something to do with the deportation of illegal immigrants. Here the attorney general states that he will not enforce a law.

More and more drivers are disregarding the laws of stopping for red lights and scooting through them and causing unsafe situations.

The trend today seems to be, if you don't like a law or you do not think it applies to you, it can be disregarded and that is ok. How far is this disregard going to go?

Does Obama want us to be depended on countries that hate us?

The administration strikes again by cutting back on oil shale development. After reading this article obama-administration-cuts-back-oil-shale-development I wonder does Obama and his administration have any concern about our energy independence?

The Keystone pipeline is on an undetermined hold for real reasons I have never heard about. Now another monkey wrench is thrown in front of oil shale development. The article does not give any real reason for their decision.. The longer we wait the more we become dependent on countries that really don't like us. I just don't understand why it appears that this administration is attempting to block all oil and energy development.

The only development the have not blocked is the Bakken development in North Dakota. This development is being done on private land and this administration has not figured out a way to block this development. It will be interesting to see what they come up with to block or slow down this tool to energy independence.

So many issues to comment on

  1. I am one of the many that don't trust newspapers and main stream news. I guess I am not the only one. Many do not trust news outlets I haven't trusted the so call trusted news media since the 2000 presidential election. The news coverage on this election showed me how slanted that newspapers and broadcast news sources are.
  2. How will the John Morse recall in Colorado come out? John Morse recall signatures Gun control is a big issue in Colorado and many common citizens are starting to become involved. Many times I think Colorado is the next California. We have a liberal governor, two liberal senators and Denver has a liberal Congress person. The next election will tell if Colorado starts to return to a conservative state or becomes more like California.
  3. I go to many of these restaurants restaurants respect the 2nd Amendment I don't carry a firearm or intend to carry one. However, I don't want to lose that right if I so chose to carry one. In my opinion all these new gun control laws are just taking freedoms of law abiding citizens away and not doing very much for the violence in this country. Why does violent movies and video games get a pass?

What does Gov Hickenlooper say to Magpul employees?

After reading this article in the Washington times about a Magpul promotion,
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/18/magpul-offers-soon-be-illegal-weaponry-colo-gun-bu/
 I wonder what the Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper would say to the 200 Colorado workers that will lose their jobs when Magpul moves their facilities to another state.

I am sure he will put some kind of spin on what he says so that it don't make him look that he intentionally signed the bill into law that made them lose their jobs.

I will be surprised if Hickenlooper runs for re-election that he would be re-elected. His gun control agenda and the reprieve of the Chuckie Cheese killer has hit his popularity hard.

Real Clear Politics Polls

Everyone has a poll. You can get a  poll from Rasmussen, CNN, ABC, Fox, literally there are hundreds of polls. The poll I like is Real Clear Politics This is an average poll of all the other polls. All polls can be slanted by the way the question is asked. With the Real Clear Politics polls these slants are reduced somewhat because it is a combination of left leaning polls and right leaning polls. I am sure there is some fall back to this method but at the present time I believe the polls from Real Clear Politics more than any other polls available

I Like Drudge

Newspapers are dying a slow death for many reasons. The main reason is by the time the paper is printed and delivered or picked up the news is old. Also most of the papers lean left and their news are slanted to fix that agenda.

I stopped depending on the main stream news media during the presidential election of 2000. I was undecided on Al Gore and wanted to get some information on George Bush. Since I was accustomed to getting my news from ABC, NBC, and CBS. I quickly noticed that the news coverage was filled with events Al Gore was doing with him speaking and campaigning. As a sideline they by chance mentioned that George Bush was someplace with no highlights of him speaking or anything.

After that I went searching for additional news sources and found the cable news giant Fox News and stumbled upon drudgereport.com/ The Drudge Report gives you all kinds of links to news sources and this can broaden your information hunger for news from many sources and receiving different outlooks and reporting from many sources.

Now, every morning I go to Drudge Report and find out what is happening in the world. I don't even waste my time watching broadcast TV news media. They have become so biased and selective on what they report I feel they are dying a slow death along with the printed newspaper.
