Here is a story of a bank that encourages it’s customers, who are licensed to carry a concealed firearm, to carry in the bank.

I liked the part about the comments of support for the policy far outweighed the critical comments.
The Federal Government won’t enforce immigration laws, but they will “set up” a law abiding citizen to sell a firearm to a illegal alien.
Read this story…….
And politicians wonder why the citizens don’t trust the government!
The head of the US Department of Education sent an internal email to 4000 employees of the Department of Education encouraging them to attend the rally organized by Rev. Al Sharpton last Saturday in Washington DC. Link to the Washington Examiner article here.
Sharpton organized his rally in response to Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally held August 28th in DC. Apparently the Rev. Sharpton thought that Mr. Beck was hijacking the anniversary of Dr. King’s famous speech that was delivered in the same place, the Lincoln Memorial, as Beck’s rally.
Apparently, some D. E. employees didn’t feel that the director should have requested employees to attend the rally and leaked the email to the press. I am sure, however, as will all things Obama, nothing will come of this. If the George Bush administration had done this of course the media would be on a rampage!
This is serious. The Obama administration is now eying your IRA and 401K accounts as a method to finance the huge debt that they have run up.
I first became aware of this about a year ago when someone sent me a link to a Department of Labor paper that was investigating if Individual Retirement Accounts would provide people enough income after they retire. They were proposing requiring IRAs and 401K accounts to include some US Treasury Bonds as part of the investment portfolio. The idea was to have a stable and reliable source of income in the account and not just leaving folks to the risky stock market or bond market. Without even saying that, just typing it, a bit of vomit comes up in my throat!
Well, obviously the tactic here is to funnel some of the 4 trillion dollars in individual investment accounts into helping pay off some of the US Government Debt. Sure, I want the Federal Government taking my IRA money, that I have been saving since I was 23 years old, and diverting it to US Treasury Bonds that are very likely to be worth nothing in a few years!
I thought the hole idea of a Individual Retirement Account was to have MY VERY OWN savings and retirement plan. Now, your President has decided that I am not capable of managing my own investments, I need the Government’s help. BULL-you-know-what!
The time is now to start writing to your Congressman and Senators and let them know that you are against this. I have already fired of a series of letters. While you are at it, make sure that everyone you know is aware of this plot against your IRA.
You know, this will turn out just as good as Social Security. No matter what they say, they don’t care about you, they are just looking for a way to redistribute your wealth to someone else. Don’t buy into it!
NOW, GO WRITE SOME LETTERS!
This is what happens when an Engineer has a dog. You have to watch this, even if you aren’t an Engineer or a dog lover.
Pretty good huh? I liked it. I wish I had something like that when I had the two retrievers. They would have loved the machine. They would chase balls as long as you would throw them!
