Hide your guns, folks. It may not be much longer before the Federal Government comes to take them away. I wish I was kidding, but just the idea that the Second Amendment is even being debated in the Supreme Court today leaves me with my jaw on the floor — not because the gun rights of D.C. citizens shouldn’t be discussed, but by what many media and citizens groups and some judges and lawyers are actually being heard to state openly. Questioning the right of the People to self-defense through the possession of arms? Many people are trying to argue that individual citizens are not guaranteed the right to bear arms by the Second Amendment and this is why the gun ban in the District of Columbia should be upheld!
Bravo, Congressman Steve King of Iowa! It seems that Congressman King has caused a political firestorm in recent days by having the courage to actually proclaim to the world what I myself pointed out here for the first time at the Anvil way back in January of 2007, again in February 2007, and still further in March 2007. Most recently I wrote about this in an op-ed piece entitled: Criticism of Obama’s Muslim background is absolutely justified.
The following video so closely ties into an entry I made a few days ago that it could almost be titled a sequel. In this brief video segment, Dan Rather makes some startling accusations as he is visiting the ladies on ‘The View’ talk show. Watch and listen. What he is discussing is utterly unconstitutional behavior on the part of members of many Press agencies and the politicians and corporate heads that seek to control them.

By way of Reuters comes the following report on the current tensions between Columbia, Ecuador and Venezuela:
CARACAS (Reuters) - Latin America’s leftist leaders heaped more criticism on Colombia, leaving it increasingly isolated on Thursday in a crisis that has threatened political stability in the Andes.
Colombia, the United States’ closest ally in South America, set off a major diplomatic crisis on Saturday when its army crossed into Ecuador to kill Colombian Marxist guerrillas just across the border.
Hillary Clinton has won in Texas, Rhode Island and Ohio and John McCain will be the Republican contender for U.S. President, but we aren’t out of the woods yet, America. In fact, we are just entering the deep, dark recesses of a very dangerous forest. I have no idea what the future holds for the United States beyond the fact that the ideas and information that I continue to investigate have me alarmed beyond anything I’ve ever learned about Islam.
I was just brewing my coffee and decided to turn on FOX & Friends. Geraldo Rivera was on promoting his new book. Then the talk turned quickly to immigration. I couldn’t help but notice that, as has become all too-frequent, the phrase “illegal immigration” was not in use. Disturbing.
More disturbing though was the attitude of Geraldo Rivera, an attitude that I have witnessed several times on his part in recent memory. Geraldo, obviously an Hispanic-American, says that most Americans are “overreacting” to the “immigration problem.” This irritates me to no end. Overreacting? Geraldo you should be careful — your cultural-bias is showing like an old lady’s slip.
