One Potato, Two Potato
Under the radar gun control
One of the hardest things about writing occasional columns, rather than daily ones, is choosing which of the myriad of outrageous goings on to focus on. The spectacle of our supposed president out gallivanting around the EU with an entourage of hundreds, making an absolute fool of himself, all while thousands in the Midwest search for and bury their dead loved-ones, and try to figure out how they will rebuild their shattered lives, is tempting.
Or I could discuss further his reversal of a policy over half a century old that now sells out Israel to the millions of murderous Islamofascists who surround them. Then again, I could look at his unabashed promotion of the euphemistically named “Arab Spring,” which in reality is radical Islamist revolution.
Closer to home, I could discuss the most recent evidence that the Senate is indeed infested with spineless parasites: the vote turning down the incredibly sensible, though certainly not painless, Ryan budget. Too, I could once again point out the Democrat hypocrisy of blaming our disastrous financial crisis on everyone but themselves. Or I could remind everyone that the Reid/Pelosi/Obama-Soetoro cabal could have written and passed, as they did with “healthcare,” any time they wanted to.
Or perhaps I might talk about the fraud committed in the New York 26th Congressional District Special Election. There another lying, uber-leftist Democrat ran, pretending to be a Tea Party candidate – another example of the absolute necessity of knowing exactly who and what you are voting for – and fooled enough lazy conservatives to take nine percent of the vote away from the Republican, who would otherwise have won. And so on, and so on, ad nauseam…
Instead, since it may be a heck of a lot more relevant than it has ever been, I think I will make a few comments regarding a raft of pending legislation aimed at taking away our 2nd Amendment rights. The relevancy derives from a recent comment to gun control fanatic, Sarah Brady, by the current occupant of the White House. He noted that they are working hard on gun control, but “under the radar.” Transparency? Not from this bunch of psychopathic and sociopathic liars.
Of the 26 bills listed by Gun Owners of America as waiting to be voted on in the House and Senate, only six are aimed at upholding the 2nd Amendment. In case anyone has forgotten, the Amendment simply states, in plain, clear English:
“A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”The Oxford English Dictionary defines “infringe” as:
- actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.)
- act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on

Michael Oberndorf, RPA——Bio and Archives
Michael Oberndorf, M.A. RPA, has finally succumbed to retirement after a couple of careers, the last being in Archaeology. Not working is way more challenging than most people assume, but I will NEVER give in and take up golf. I am instead, immersing myself in the Third World of Southeast Asian tropical isles. A rough task, but I will do my utmost to handle it! If you have comments, feel free to email me - .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
