New Jersey has gotten some of it's shit together... finally recognizing gay marriage! I will give Gov. Christy props for not only standing up for his beliefs, but for backing down. Some might say that he has been beaten, but I don't... I think he simply stood up for his beliefs and what he thought was right. I also think that he realizes the importance of allowing same-sex couples the same rights as hetero couples.
Now, if we could just get the state to stop allowing first cousins to marry... well, on second thought: who else would Mill-Billies marry?

The march for equal rights...
It seems as though we are still faced with racism, but the dynamics have changed. The anti-racism movement seems to empower "minorities" to use anything to create a racist situation. They only bring up incidents that promote their agenda, not the more common unbiased incidents. We have long since broken the chains of racism. Sure, racism exists, there is no denying that, but we can now do something about it. 60 years ago, a person couldn't remove themselves from discrimination... But now, racial discrimination is few and far between. People like Al Sharpton want us to believe their propaganda so they can sell advertising for their TV shows or so they can get paid for speaking at events. They make up lies and distort the truth about the rarest of incidents to give the illusion that its a common occurrence. Do you want proof? George Zimmerman is part Caucasian, part Hispanic... But, to give the illusion of racism, they coined a new term: white-Hispanic. Why then isn't Obama called Asian-black? Why? Because calling him Asian-black would not allow the Sharpton's of the country to blame racism when people don't agree with him. Once the Sharptons of the world pass on, the world will be a better, happier place.

The gun debate...
I have found out that the anti-gun movement believes that anyone who wants to own a gun is "uneducated" and hold "antiquated" views... that we (gun owners) are ticking time bombs, just waiting for the right moment to go off.
While that may be true for a small percentage, the vast majority of legal gun owners are well educated and believe in fighting AGAINST the bad guys... for many of us, that is why we CHOSE to own guns. We (gun owners) commit less crimes than non-gun owners... there is a direct connection between issuing concealed weapon permits and reduced crime... less than half of gun-related fatalities are murders.
Anti-gunners don't want to believe that we (gun owners) have the best interest of our society in mind. Anti-gunners tell us that only the military need "assault" weapons and that we have armed police to protect us. Well, tell that to those people (specifically the Asians) who lived/worked in Los Angeles during the Rodney King riots... the police ABANDONED them, left them to fight for themselves. If it wasn't for armed citizens, there would have been more deaths and looting.
I guess we should remind people about "the shot heard around the world" that occurred on April 19, 1775, and why our forefathers added the Second Amendment in the first place.

The gun debate continues in the media... well, I guess it's the Second Amendment debate really.
Much is said about what our forefathers implied when they wrote the US Constitution, specifically the Second Amendment.
Many people claim that it refers only to hunting... many also claim that it was written specifically about muzzle loader rifles, and that "assault" weapons are not protected by the amendment. I have to ask: Using that logic, does the First Amendment only refer to quill pens and town squires, leaving television and radio unprotected by that amendment? Chew on that for a minute...

The Opening Statement...
Politics is one of those discussions that rarely is ever won or lost because, like religion, these discussions are often based on one's own belief rather than logic, reason, and/or fact. In this blog, we hope to spark discussion and bring to light views that have a logical perspective that can be backed up with deductive reasoning.
