Only in America

"In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress." - John Adams

ONLY IN AMERICA ... CAN CONGRESS FORCE FANNIE AND FREDDIE TO BUY SUBPRIME LOANS, AND THEN BLAME FANNIE AND FREDDIE FOR BUYING SUBPRIME LOANS.

ONLY IN AMERICA ... MUST WE SPEND BILLIONS BECAUSE WE CAN'T LET CHRYSLER & GM GO BANKRUPT, AND THEN LET CHRYSLER & GM GO BANKRUPT, THEN LAY OFF THE CEO's, AND NATIONALIZE THE COMPANIES FOR THE TAX PAYERS TO PICK UP THE COST !!

ONLY IN AMERICA ... A MAJOR CRISIS REQUIRES SWIFT ACTION TO PASS A BILL WITHOUT READING IT, THEN WAIT FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE THE PRESIDENT TAKES THE TIME TO SIGN IT.

ONLY IN AMERICA ... CAN YOU BE LEGALLY ILLEGAL

ONLY IN AMERICA ... THE CONGRESS CAN MAKE LAWS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW

ONLY IN AMERICA ...DOES THE MILITARY GET INVESTIGATED BY HOMELAND SECURITY AS POSSIBLE TERRORISTS, WHILE OUR BORDERS ARE WIDE OPEN.

ONLY IN AMERICA CAN YOU GET A TAX REFUND ON TAXES YOU DIDN'T PAY .

ONLY IN AMERICA CAN WE HAVE A TREASURY SECRETARY WHO FAILED TO PAY HIS TAXES.

ONLY IN AMERICA , ARE YOU ABLE TO HAVE MORE RIGHTS BEING ILLEGAL, THAN YOU DO BEING LEGAL

ONLY IN AMERICA CAN YOU BE 13 AND HAVE AN ABORTION WITHOUT TELLING YOUR PARENTS, BUT MUST HAVE A WRITTEN NOTE FROM YOUR PARENT WHEN YOU MISSED SCHOOL.

ONLY IN AMERICA , CAN CHRYSLER GET $10 BILLION IN AID FOR THEIR COMPANY OF 30,000 EMPLOYEES. I GUESS IT IS DIFFICULT TO RUN A COMPANY FOR $333,333 PER EMPLOYEE.

ONLY IN AMERICA ... WE CARE ABOUT 3 GUYS THAT GET WATER UP THE NOSE WHILE OUR ENEMIES ARE BEHEADING US AND BLOWING CROWDS OF PEOPLE UP WITH SUICIDE BOMBINGS.

ONLY IN AMERICA ... CAN YOU SAY OTHER INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES WORK, BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THOSE TECHNIQUES ARE.

ONLY IN AMERICA , WHATEVER GOES WRONG WILL ALWAYS BE BUSH'S FAULT

LASTLY, HOWEVER, IN AMERICA , YOU CAN ONLY SPEAK AS THE PRESIDENT WHEN THE TELEPROMPTER IS ON BECAUSE WITHOUT IT YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF SAYING THE WRONG THING!

Thank you Michael.

The Open Carry Movement

For those of you who are not aware, Open Carry is sweeping across the country. At least, in those states where it is legal to do so. Interestingly enough, it's not legal in Texas!! Apparently this goes back to the post Civil War days (That's the War Between the States for you Southern sympathizers. ) I suppose this was to cut down on violence against the former slaves, as well as the occupation forces sent down by the Northern invaders.

I understand that now, Texas is looking into making Open carry legal again. Even for those in Texas with a CCW permit, this would be a welcome change, since as of now, if you have a CCW permit, and your pistol should become visible, you could face charges and lose your permit.

For myself, I live in Michigan, which is an Open Carry state. I have, and do carry openly, when I consider it practicable. However, I also know there are times and places when OC (the current shorthand for Open Carry) is either not prudent, or not practicable. (I like using that word, picked it from the movie "Gods and Generals" )

What I will add here is this, if you choose to OC, make sure you know the laws for your state, and local area, if applicable. It would be bad to end up in jail, just because you missed some rule about OC in your state. Check out OpenCarry dot Org for more details.
