Gun Control (Written by Justin)

Imagine this. You are asleep in your bed with your wife and your kids are asleep down the hall. You hear a sound and think someone is in the house. Oh wait, that’s just the dog. Never mind. You go back to sleep. Then your wife wakes you. She heard something too. As you reach for your .45 in the desk by the bed, you hear your kids scream. The sickos got in your kids’ room! About then you get the desk open and reach in and…. nothing! what the hell is going on? Oh, the government took away your right to have a gun and because you decided to be responsible and register it, they came and took it. Now what? Well, you can think about that s you hear you kids dying. Now one of them has a gun in your face as they take turns with your wife. Why did this happen? It happened because you had no protection, because some liberal bonehead thought it would be “safer” if good citizens had no weapons. Now your life is over.

            Could this happen? It is probably a bit of a stretch, but hey, watch the news, there are crazy people everywhere and this is your family! Are you going to take the chance? Yes, unlikely maybe…but do you want to be the one? Hell no. You want to blow those bastards away, and if you keep your right to bear arms, and own weapons then you certainly will be able to hold your own. What about safety? Well, damn it, guess what. If you teach your kids what it is then they will know what to do and what not to do when they see it. I first learned to use a gun when I was about 7 years old. My dad started teaching me. When I would see a gun later, like if I did see it around the house, I had a healthy respect for the weapon that hurt my shoulder and blew away the can and everything else in its path. I knew what it could and would do and consequently I didn’t toy with it. What you hear on the news is the liberal media blowing out of proportion stories of ignorant parents who are irresponsible as far as teaching their kids about the dangers of weapons.  When you teach kids, they aren’t as curious. Curiosity doesn’t kill the cat if it already knows! Teach them what they need to know! Be responsible! Don’t let this or any other governmental body try to take away our right to own weapons because of the ignorant few out there who have such loud voices.

Worthless Piece of...

    The Federal Reserve came about through the deceptive workings of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our nation’s first successful Socialist President. What did he do? He expanded our government beyond the limits granted by our Constitution, he created a welfare state that relied on the work of high-achievers, and he took us off the gold standard to create the Federal Reserve System. We won’t go into details about the disservice FDR did to our government system, however we will concentrate on one thing, how he stole our gold and replaced it with worthless paper in the creation of the Federal Reserve. In 1934, FDR told American citizens that it was their “duty” to turn in their gold in exchange for paper notes. So the American citizen, who thought that the notes were still backed by gold, turned their gold in only to be made worthless by the United States going off the gold standard. It probably is the biggest robbery of the American citizens to date, besides social security that started from FDR’s New Deal. Since the establishment of the Federal Reserve, no longer is our money worth anything in precious specie, no longer is the government limited on its expenditures, and no longer does our money ward off inflation. Today our money is worthless, its worth is based on our belief that it has value, and it does not fight inflation with current standards. There was a time when buying groceries with $20 would give you a cartload of food for the family. Now, by inflation, $20 will maybe get you a sub, a bag of potato chips, a 6-pack of coke (beer if you prefer) and 5 lottery tickets (you may have enough to get an old movie also). How does inflation work? Well, the economist can explain that topic better. However, whenever government needs money all it has to do is call up Chairman Alan Greenspan and ask for a loan. In turn, they will print out more money (more than the government has in the bank) for circulation. Soon money devalues causing inflation because there will be an abundant supply of money and it becomes worthless. Why is it worthless? Well, if you have a lot of something does it have more value than that item you are lacking? Sure you can have an ample amount of food, but when water is scarce you are willing to give up a lot just to get nice cold glass of water because it has more value then your abundant amount of food. Therefore, common logic works in economics as well. Thus, if common logic is required for understanding then the Liberals will not be able to grasp the concept.

The Value of an Honest Buck

    Okay...now for a quick history lesson.  I pose one question to my audience...What makes our money valuable?  What backs our money for its value?  Gold?  Silver?  If you don't know, then you are not worthy of it so send it all to me :-) However, to answer my own question, OUR FAITH in the dollar makes it valuable.  If one day we all lost faith in our currency denomination it would be worthless.  Am I a liar?  Just look at how Russia and Germany needed literally a barrel of their currency in order to buy a loaf of bread during World War II.  What had caused such a drastic measure?  The value of their currency had decreased due to inflation and the careless over printing of money to fund the war.  Could it happen to the United States of America?  Let me explain further.  Before 1934 our government was on the gold and silver standard.  That means for any dollar value you could exchange its worth into its equal amount in gold or silver redeemable at any local bank.  Why a standard?  We had the gold standard to prevent government over-expenditures, to fight inflation, and not to mention to retain the value of the dollar.  Remember Fort Knox?  Fort Knox was where the government stored all of its Gold and Silver.  Therefore, the government could only print as much money as it had in Gold or Silver.  No more currency than the Gold's worth.  Government could, however, get money from bonds and by other means from private citizens, but the government must pay interest just as any American would have if one took out a loan (not like today where they just take it from you in their behind-the-scene schemes).  How could we have inflation if the government had such a standard and limitation to abide by?  Inflation would be hard to come by on the Gold Standard.  So how does the Federal Reserve come into play?  Come back tomorrow to find out how the Federal Reserve came about in my last installment of this series.

The Almighty Greenspan

    Hail to the Chief, that is to the Federal Reserve.  Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has more power then our own President of the United States, yet he is not an elected official.  The chairman of the Federal Reserve takes office by a Presidential appointment.  To show how different the Republicans and Democrats are economically you can compare who each have appointed as chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan for both parties.  Greenspan can manipulate the markets and control the consumer index, inflation, and the interest rate.  In other words, he can single-handedly depress our markets or revive them.  He can even offset markets abroad since other countries take interest on how our markets performs, some countries even invest in our market.  You might say, "Genghis1227 is wrong, there are other people that must vote and determine the Reserves course of action."  Well, I'm sorry to say that there may be no real voting going on.  Heck, they are not a public institution, they are the Banker's Bank.  You go ahead and try to get a loan from the Federal Reserve, or better yet, open an account.  You can't.  So why do we have the Federal Reserve?  Come Back tomorrow for this 3 part series about the Federal Reserve and you will get your share of a history lesson.
