Cruz (R-TX) Gives Constitutional Lesson to Feinstein

Now that the Senate Judiciary Committee feels that Senator Feinstein attack on our second amendment is justifiable and voted 10-8 to send it to the Senate floor, we have a showdown on our god given, constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.

Her comments made to Senator Cruz from Taxas, here, is startling line of thought and it is clearly misguided understanding of OUR right to keep and bear.


Now I took a few notes and feel compelled to respond:


-“Sandy Hook victims were dismembered.” 
How would she know this? Information on that has never been released.

-“Weapons of war” 
These are not weapons of war. No solder would be very confident to take semi-automatics in to the theater of war.

-“It’s fine that you want to lecture me on the constitution” 
No, the constitution is lecturing you.

-“I have been here a long time” 
The constitution has been here, as has our country, for far longer than her service.

-“It doesn't Prohibited, it exempts” Prohibits= Forbid (something) by law, rule, or other authority. 
Exempts= Others that are excused from. Meaning us and that you don’t have the right, but others do. That’s NOT how it works under the 2nd amendment.

And I guess these Senators feel that Child pornography shouldn’t be banned in Texas public schools?

-“Congress is in the business of making law”
-Congress is in the business to be protecting our liberties, representing We the People and providing the common defense. WELL, they are suppose to, anyways....

-“The Supreme Court interprets the law. If they strike down the law, they strike down the law”
They’ve struck down similar laws in the recent past. What these gun grabbing liberals know is, it will take 2-3 years to get the law (if it becomes law) struck down. By that time, people have been without their rights to “Keep and Bear” for the time period.

 Dick Durbin says “None of our rights are absolute. None of them.” 
WHOA!! Carefull DICK! Your Marxism is showing, Fucker!!!

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”  Sure sounds like they ARE 'absolutely' free from limitations, restrictions, or exceptions!

THIS is the socialist left in America. You can easily see how they stick right with their dogma of their ideology.

Durbin Dream Act Hearing... Gaff?

After using illegal immigrants as props to push the DREAM Act, Sen. Durbin (D-IL) made the following statement at a Senate committee hearing:



Now was this a mistake, a gaff, you know, a slip of the tongue? The kind that they love to hound Michele Bachmann on?

MAYBE OUR PRESIDENT?
I would say probably a gaff... But NOT from a prepared statement!

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution says: 
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

Dick Durbin- Hamas Sympathizer?

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., in an attempt to address what he claims is an increase in anti-Muslim bigotry, is relying on questionable statistics and a witness with a record of opposing virtually all law enforcement attempts to deal with Islamist-inspired terrorism.

In a statement, Durbin said his hearing Tuesday on the state of Muslim civil rights in America comes "in response to a spike in anti-Muslim bigotry in the last year including Quran burnings, restrictions on mosque construction, hate crimes, hate speech, and other forms of discrimination."
While hate crime data for 2010 has not been released yet, FBI reports in the recent past have shown no spike in anti-Muslim attacks. Those statistics show 107 anti-Islamic incidents reported in 2009, compared to 156 anti-Muslim crimes in 2006. In both reports, race related crimes dominated, and religiously-targeted attacks involved Jews as victims about nine times more often than Muslims in 2009 and more than five times more in 2006.
After making critical statements about the organization, the three-term senator has coddled the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and visited a Chicago-area mosque whose leaders have been cited in federal court records as part of support front groups for Hamas, the U.S.-designated Islamic terrorist group that leads the government in Gaza.

Durbin has grown closer to CAIR and the Mosque Foundation, two Chicago-area groups that federal law enforcement records show have clearly shown Hamas-support histories.


Last week, Durbin wrote a letter that hailed CAIR's Chicago chapter, saying it "advances a greater understanding of the Muslim culture and serves as an essential thread in the multicultural fabric of our nation. Your efforts to advocate for tolerance promote the civil liberties of all communities."

Last April, he wrote a similar letter to coincide with the group's annual fundraising banquet. "CAIR-Chicago's efforts to ensure justice and equality demonstrate that working for greater civil liberties of one community advances the civil liberties of all communities," Durban wrote. "Your organization promotes a greater understanding of the Muslim culture and serves as an essential threat in the multicultural fabric of our nation."

That support marks a striking turnaround for Durbin. In 2003, Durbin expressed serious concerns about CAIR, "which apparently from what I have read is unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its association with groups that are suspect, there are many mainstream groups of Muslim Americans who fully support this war against terrorism and I would hope that they would be invited to speak to their heartfelt beliefs about this effort so that our characterization is fair across the board."

Since then, evidence linking CAIR and its founders to a Hamas-support network has been released through court action. That evidence prompted the FBI to cut off its outreach with the group. Last year, the DOJ said it had seen no new evidence that exonerates CAIR from the allegations that it provides financial support to designated terrorist organizations.
But Durbin continues to be supportive of this shady group.

So what’s Durbin angle on this?
Are some in the government, like Durbin, preparing for the destruction of Israel?
Or is Durbin looking for trouble with Federal authorities?
