RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS
For all who missed today's RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS radio broadcast or for those who just want to listen in again here it is. And as always Craig and I stand by every word we said.
A federal judge appointed by President Obama struck down the administration’s regulation on hydraulic fracturing on federal lands on Tuesday, ruling that the Interior Department does not have congressional authority to regulate fracking.
The decision is a major loss for the administration, which worked for years to update its oil and natural gas drilling regulations to account for dramatic increases and innovations in fracking.
Judge Scott Skavdahl of the District Court of Wyoming agreed with the arguments of industry groups and a handful of Western states that said Congress had expressly forbidden Interior from getting into fracking with a 2005 law, with few exceptions.
“Congress has not delegated to the Department of Interior the authority to regulate hydraulic fracturing,” Skavdahl wrote in his opinion published late Tuesday. “The [Bureau of Land Management’s] effort to do so through the Fracking Rule is in excess of its statutory authority and contrary to law.”
Also of note is the fact that since 1982 it has been the FBI
that is charged with protecting our homeland from acts of terror, yet it is the
FBI who has let us down time and again by squandering resources on terrorist so-called
‘wannabes’ and ‘sting operations’ as they continue to misjudge the nature of true terrorist threats. Want proof…the FBI has totally failed to expose actual
homegrown terror threats even when having valid suspicions about certain
individuals…and the mass shooting in Orlando and last year’s terrorist attack
in San Bernardino, California, explicitly proves that point. You remember San
Bernardino, that ‘little incident,’ as some in the media called it, where Syed
Farook murdered 14 people in yet another islamic terrorist attack. Here, too,
the FBI was well aware that Farook had been in contact with terrorism suspects,
but again they, the FBI, did not a thing about it.
The FBI did not a thing to help prevent San Bernadino when ‘red
flags’ about Farook were clearly evident while instead choosing to continue
concentrating on terror threats via ‘sting operations’ that did not pan out. In
fact, just a few years ago reporter David K. Shipler reported in ‘The Times’ that,
“Of the 22 most frightening plans for
attacks since 9/11 on American soil, 14 were developed in (FBI) sting
operations.” In other words, the would-be terrorists lacked the know how to
pull off their deadly attacks without the help of FBI undercover operatives,
and the FBI knew this yet continued along this track.
And the sad end result of this FBI dilly-dallying and totally incompetent
game playing is the Boston Marathon Bombing, the happenings at Oregon Community
College, San Bernadino, and the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, just to name but a
few.
And as for Orlando and San Bernardino in specific, so many ‘red
flags’ and similarities have been overlooked…so many important changes have
occurred in how this new breed of terrorist carries out their godless acts…yet
the FBI and especially the media seem to either have closed their eyes to these
changes or willingly choose to overlook them. One case in point…both Mateen of
Orlando and Farook of San Bernardino wore protective body armor…but isn’t the
point of jihad to become a martyr for the cause…as in to become one with allah
while enjoying the 72 virgins in ‘supposed’ paradise…in other words…not to
survive. And why would one wear body armor if not hoping they would survive.
Another case in point…why did both of these islamic terrorists
destroy evidence…as in their cell phones…before they both were rightfully taken
down in a hail of bullets if they knew in the end that they were going to die. Remember
that ISIS…who both men swore allegiance to…like to puff up their
chests and take credit for their acts of terror by bantering around for the
world for all to see said evidence of their attacks. Seems to me that by
destroying evidence what both Mateen and Farook were trying to do was to ‘protect’
their accomplices...translating into the fact that Obama’s talking points of
these incidents being ‘lone wolf attacks’ just flew right out the window.
So now it should become obvious, what with the FBI and all
the other alphabets being unable to protect us, that as I stated above, ‘open
carry’ should indeed become the law of our land and our personal deterrent against
those out to do us bodily harm for the fact is that 'open carry' reduces the
threat of violent crime against both the carrier and society in general as more
people are armed at any given time. Now add in that common sense and logic
dictates that if, for example, an islamic terrorist sees someone with a gun
they understand that that someone is as willing to use their gun against them
as they are against that innocent someone. Sure some will still be killed but
just imagine if even one patron of the Pulse nightclub had a gun on them…the
body count surely would have been a lot less.
And let’s not forget that ‘open carry’ is the follow through
of our Second Amendment right to “keep
and bear arms” and lets ‘We the People’ duly serve that right whether the
anti-gun crowd likes it or not. And it’s this very right that Obama and his
minions are working so hard to deny us no matter that according to Charles
Springwood of Illinois Wesleyan University ‘open carry’ "naturalizes the presence of guns, which means that guns become
ordinary, omnipresent, and expected. Over time, the gun becomes a symbol of
ordinary personhood." To me it means that over time the 'bad guys'...and
most especially the islamic terrorists...will realize that we are not the sitting
ducks they deem us to be.
And while both the ‘open carry’ and anti-gun crowd will
agree that nowhere in the Second Amendment does it mention the words ‘open
carry,’ it is important to also remember that nowhere in the Second Amendment
are the words 'background checks' or 'waiting periods' to be found as well. But no
matter as the words “The Right Of The People To Keep And Bear Arms, Shall Not Be Infringed” says it all. And unless the Constitution itself is overturned…as
Obama wishes it would be…that right is still afforded to ‘We the People’
whether some like it or not.
