JDC News Forecasts: "Is Cash No good?, Democrats Risk Backlash, Trees of 9.11"

JDC Bullet News Forecasts:  What's on the horizon of change?

Is Cash No good and the start of a Tend?

In Grandpa and Grandma's day cash was the treasured possession.  If there wasn't enough you didn't buy anything.  If you needed something you sold something, or waited.

After a recent robbery, one entrepreneur of a Novelty Shop decided he no longer would take cash for purchases.  Whip out your credit card or write a check, and we can do businesss.  Sales have never been better, and this one business owner has peace of mind.

It is highley unlikely society will achieve a totally cashless society due to the inability of many individual to acquire a checking account, let alone qualify for a debit or credit card.

Cash, the great acquisition.

 

Democrats Willing to Risk Voter Backlash:

To get their way, Democrats will try to change the Senate rules.  If they do, they will be overstepping the political boundaries in a desperate act to boost their power and stop any filibusters so they control the legislative agenda.  Pass, pass, and more pass.  Spend, spend and more spending before the November elections. 

In Mr. Smith goes to Washington the premise is a prime example of the period 1917, in which there was no way for Congress to cut off a debate if one legislator was willing to stand on the Senate floor and keep talking. . .

The rules were changed to require 67 votes; in 1975 Democrats changed it to 60 votes.  Because of GOP opposition and in order to bypass the need for a GOP vote, Democrats want to change the filibuster count to 55 votes on the first day of the upcoming session of Congress.

Vice President Joe Biden will be at the helm, and happy to override any legislative objections from across the isle, which should send Republicans into a tizzy, and a possible backlash from the American voters.  It's get everything you can, while you can.

 

The Trees of 9.11:

This week the first of hundreds of trees will be planted to grace the area where thousands succumbed to the evil that changed the landscape of New York forever.  In a peaceful setting will stand one tree for each victim. A serene rememberance upon holy ground for those from all walks of life that they may rest in peace forever more.

Chicago's Mayor Fights Yes Vote Against Gun Ban on Second Amendment Rights

JDC OP-ED: Chicago, IL - Political power in motion again. 

Why does the mayor and his coup of City Council members continue to defy the landmark case, the District of Columbia versus Heller, in which the Supreme Court in its rendering states that the Second Amendment guarantees "the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation," specifically within the home?

Not satisfied Daley continues to irritate gun owners with lesser legislation that will no doubt be reversed in the courts, yet, will allow him to get his licks in temporarily.  Unfortunately his passionate ideology leaves Chicago citizens defenseless against criminals who know their victims are disarmed.  His actions makes it clear there is a desire to make it more difficult for a law-abiding citizen to acquire the equalizer, the infamous handgun.

Doesn't his honor get it?  The criminal element could care less about the Mayor and his rule of law.  This class of individual has perfected the art of gun acess the Chicago Police can't seem to stop.

Chicago crime has escalated with the heat of the 2010 summer and more than tripled the national average statistics where guns are not banned.  FBI statistics from 2007 through 2008 indicates the murder rate decreased by 4.7 percent nation-wide, yet in the Windy City, the rate rises above 15% according to Ronald L. Schmeits, President of the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Gun owners didn't pick the fight and are not about to roll over and accept any unconstitutional act usurping rights embedded in the Second Amendment.

Americans own over 100 million handguns and as the U.S. Supreme Court observed in its 2008 Heller case, is, "the most preferred firearm in the nation to 'keep' and use for protection of ones home and family."

Even President Obama was quoted by the press: "I think there is an individual right to bear arms, but it is subject to common-sense regulation."  Yet, his voting record in Illinois suggests the opposite; in direct political agreement with the Mayor of Chicago's War on Guns.

Mayor Daley appears to be defining law-abiding gun owners as the enemy.  The Democratic mantra of a political party who has had little or no personal experience with responsible care and use of firearms.  Owning a gun empowers in more ways than one, and cannot be easily controlled politically.  It's the right to freedom of choice to control ones life absent government intrusion.

A political product of the Chicago Daley machine, President Obama lacked sound judgment when he infuriated Pennsylvanians, many of them Democrats, when he said: They cling to their guns and religion and looked down on immigrants or minorities.  The coattails of the President and the Democratic held Congress has become a negative for Chicago legislators up for re-election in 2010.

The opposition debate is slathered with emotionalism and bereft of fact.  With the adoption of the right-to-carry legislation the Detroit Free Press in 2008 reported lower violent crime rates over the first six years.

Opponent District Attorney John B. Holmes of Harris County, Texas was very outspoken regarding passage of the proposed Concealed Handgun Act.  "I did not feel that such legislation was in the public interest and presented a clear and present danger. . .by placing more handguns on our street.  Boy, was I wrong.  Our experience . . . has proven my initial fears absolutely groundless.

Perhaps the mayor of Chicago should face the acid test, swallow his political pride and eliminate the gun ban - nothing else has worked.
