Feds Respond to Firearms Freedom Act Lawsuit

Motion to Dismiss “Expected”

MISSOULA – The United States has made its first response to a lawsuit filed in federal district court in Missoula to test the Montana Firearms Freedom Act (MFFA), passed by the 2009 Legislature and signed into law by Governor Schweitzer.

The MFFA declares that any firearms, ammunition or firearms accessories made and retained in Montana are not subject to federal regulation under the power given to Congress in the U.S. Constitution to regulate commerce “among the several states.” The MFFA is a states’ rights challenge on Tenth Amendment grounds, with firearms serving as the vehicle for the challenge.

National Awareness Day For National Awareness Days

There are over 500 day, weeks or months of National Awareness. They range from month long awareness of candy and gay and lesbian history, to a day to recognize umbrellas and everything in between. So, do we set aside enough time to become aware of such things as the U.S. Constitution, the history of this great nation or those who fought and died so we could have Awareness Days?

Obama Regrets Not Telling You What Your Values Should Be

Words speak volumes! Let’s not kid ourselves. We know that what comes out of a person’s mouth is generally a reflection of who they are, what they are all about. After the Scott Brown win in Massachusetts, I said that Washington and the White House would all turn into a bunch of chameleons trying to morph into looking like something they really are not out of fear of losing their jobs. Unless you are the master of disguise, ala Bill Clinton, when you open your mouth to speak, the truth is once again revealed.

Yesterday, Barack Obama interviewed with George Stephanopoulus of ABC News. (Transcript here.) There’s tons of information you can digest about Obama in that interview. I really don’t know why but one tiny bit of his “but what I will tell you” interview, jumped out at me as very revealing of the kind of person our president is. Read more

Montana High Court Says SSNs To Hunt And Fish Necessary

Gun Group Frustrated with Supreme Court Privacy Opinion Constitutional Rights for Sale?

MISSOULA – The Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) was handed an unfavorable decision by the Montana Supreme Court in MSSA’s lawsuit claiming that it violates the right to privacy in the Montana Constitution for Montanans to be required to divulge a Social Security Number (SSN) in order to legally hunt and fish in Montana.

This MSSA lawsuit has been percolating through the courts since January of 2006. While MSSA argued that the requirement to provide an SSN to hunt and fish was unconstitutional, the State of Montana contended that it must collect SSNs to remain eligible under federal law for federal funds for the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.

So Why Did Scott Brown Win In Massachusetts?

I watched this last night on the Sean Hannity Show. Michelle Malkin recommends that every democrat leader should watch this video and I agree. However, both Dems and Republicans need to watch this video because it pretty much tells how Brown won. Hello! It isn’t because Americans are becoming more conservative. They’re just not ready for full fledged, one party politics of shoving policy down our throats.

Mississippi Squirrel Revival – Ray Stevens

As I watched with great entertainment last night as the election returns came in from the Massachusetts senatorial race between Martha Coakley and Scott Brown, many thoughts raced through my head. I tried all night and woke up a few times during the night, on into this morning trying to think of what this election reminded me of. Then it dawned on me.

Ray Stevens! That’s right. Do you remember the “Mississippi Squirrel Revival”? When Ray was a boy, he snuck a squirrel he had caught into church one Sunday. The squirrel escaped Ray’s box and created quite the uproar in the old church.

I believe if you watch the video, you’ll agree that Scott Brown might just be the squirrel that escaped the box and raised cane in Massachusetts.

Black Conservatives Comment on Brown Victory in Massachusetts

Washington, D.C.: Black conservatives affiliated with the Project 21 leadership network are speaking out about the stunning victory of Republican state senator Scott Brown over Democrat state attorney general Martha Coakley in Massachusetts.

Kevin L. Martin: “Scott Brown’s victory in the bluest of traditionally blue states can only be viewed as a complete loss of confidence in the policies of the Obama White House and its allies in Congress. People have tasted the fruits of a government dominated by liberal ideologues and they’ve not found it to their liking. What remains to be seen is if this repudiation has been heard and understood. Will Obama, Pelosi and Reid see the writing on the wall, or will they continue their heavy-handed attempts to ram through their agenda against the will of the people?” Read more

People Stepping Up Before the Government Could Act Sets Example for the World

Washington, DC: As people honor the values and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., members of the Project 21 black leadership network are also taking this time to commend the American people for their quick and generous acts of charity after last week’s devastating earthquake in Haiti.

Deneen Borelli (Project 21 Fellow): “As we remember Dr. King, it is heartwarming to see how the American people have come together to help those in need. As they always do, average Americans of all races, classes and backgrounds opened their wallets and asked what they could do to help long before even the government could respond. Faith-based organizations n which have always been a great help n are picking up the slack where established relief groups and the government are already overwhelmed. Without a political goal in mind, the American people joined as one to offer hope. That is something to be proud of on this holiday.” Read more

January 15th is National Hat Day and what a better way to celebrate the day than with a parade of hats! Can’t say much for the model but at least the hats are interesting.

Buy Global Warming Insurance – Open Air w/Tom Remington

*Editor’s Note:* Within minutes of recording this show, the construction crews moved in outside my office hammering and drilling. I apologize if there are distracting noises.

The Heritage Foundation is warning people, particularly corporations to not buy global warming insurance. Even as a member I have to disagree. I think everyone should buy it and I’ll tell you how we can use the money and time of the insurance companies to do away with the nonsense of man-made climate change fear mongering.

Economic Stimulus Funds Went to Climategate Scientist

Funds Should be Returned to U.S. Treasury, Says National Center for Public Policy Research

Washington, D.C.: In the face of rising unemployment and record-breaking deficits, policy experts at the National Center for Public Policy Research are criticizing the Obama Administration for awarding a half million dollar grant from the economic stimulus package to Penn State Professor Michael Mann, a key figure in the Climategate controversy.
