now who's clueless? I'm in my early 30s and haven't had to work in over a year. I will definitely not be choosing to go back to work for another five years, and likely will never need to work another day in my life...all this 20 years before you, and all done while still being able to spend almost all my time with the wife and kids. Keep buying stuff though...seems to be helping you cope with the emptiness in your life. |

I rent. I have one car which has almost 200,000 miles on it, and if we didn't need it for our kids, I'd give that away, as well. However, I can name every one of my 3 year old's MILLION favorite characters and toys. I can carry on a conversation with him and understand every single thing that comes out of his mouth. My marriage has never been happier. No thank you, I'm living the life. Jealousy is not in my nature. |

Newtown shootings: NRA silent on gun laws
By Daniel Nasaw BBC News Magazine, Washington Prominent pro-gun political organisations and US senators have kept quiet since the mass killing in Newtown, Connecticut. Why is the National Rifle Association leaving the floor to gun control advocates as a national debate takes shape? The day after two teenagers killed 12 classmates and a teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado in April 1999, one of the chief spokesmen of the US gun rights movement was on television assigning blame. Don't fault guns, he said. Instead, Americans should look at the moral breakdown in US society and at violence in Hollywood. "We're increasingly looking away at behaviour that our parents would never have tolerated," Wayne LaPierre, executive vice-president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), said on MSNBC television. "We're looking the other way at evil behaviour and we need to really focus on what would turn students into homicidal maniacs." Since the latest American massacre, the Friday killings of 20 young children and seven adults by a 20-year-old man in Newtown, Connecticut, Mr LaPierre and his organisation have stayed silent. Gun control advocates have blanketed the media calling for measures such as a renewed assault weapons ban. President Barack Obama has indicated he will back new policies "aimed at preventing more tragedies like this". New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the most prominent gun control advocates in America, has publicly called on Mr Obama to propose specific legislation. "The trouble is that the NRA is just never willing to have any restriction whatsoever, no matter how reasonable it is," Mr Bloomberg said. To counter him, the show's producers invited 31 pro-gun US senators onto the show - but they all declined. By Monday morning one of the 31, Democrat Joe Manchin, publicly changed his tune on a US morning news show. Virginia Senator Mark Warner, another Democrat, then joined his colleague. Since Friday's shooting, the National Rifle Association, which did not respond to a request for comment, has kept silent on Twitter, pulled down a Facebook page, and cancelled an online chat with a country music star. The organisation "appears to have staked out a strategy to take its brand out of the social media picture in the wake of a mass-shooting news event," commented AdWeek. "The social media buzz after such events seems to be an unenviable conversation for the org to partake in." The group has been so successful at shaping public opinion over the last dozen years it has nothing to gain by speaking out now, says Scott Melzer, a sociologist at Albion College in Michigan and author of Gun Crusaders: The NRA's Culture War. "Action is not going to be taken in the next few days," he says. "The organisation doesn't need to win the PR battle right now to be effective." One of the NRA's major public arguments, repeated mantra-like by gun-control opponents over the years, is that guns do not kill people - people kill people. "They would look cruel and inhumane coming out after this shooting and saying 'guns don't kill people', when there are 20 children about to be buried in Connecticut," says Peter Dreier, a professor of politics at Occidental College in Los Angeles and a critic of the NRA. "They're sort of hiding. These guns were purchased legally, so they've got nowhere to go on this." |

Alexander's Column – December 20, 2012
Semper Fortis Vigilate Paratus Fidelis -- et Gratus Thank God for Patriot Brothers and Sisters "In circumstances dark as these, it becomes us, as Men and Christians, to reflect that, whilst every prudent Measure should be taken to ward off the impending Judgments. ... All confidence must be withheld from the Means we use; and reposed only on that GOD who rules in the Armies of Heaven, and without whose Blessing the best human Counsels are but Foolishness -- and all created Power Vanity." --John Hancock (1775) In the winter season, our East Tennessee mountaintop is sometimes shrouded in clouds that settle in for days, and that fog can persist for a week or more. The absence of sun and blue sky, or crisp and clear nights under bright stars, can take its toll on the spirit. However, my spirit is lifted high when I recall with certainty that above the fog and clouds, all the heavenly bodies shine bright. Eventually the weather will break and light will avail itself again. I reminded my children that bleak winter weather obscuring the sunlight is an apt metaphor for the trials in our life, which can obscure the Son light. Life itself can, at times, seem shrouded in fog and darkness. That is especially true if, like me, you bear a lifelong burden to support and defend our heritage of Liberty, which is now being assailed from many sectors. But our Creator, who irrevocably endowed us with Liberty, is always there, even if temporarily obscured by the fog of conflict. I hold close these words from George Washington written early in the first American Revolution: "We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times." These are difficult times for Patriots -- as in times past. We face daunting challenges from enemies foreign and domestic. Occasionally I forget that this burden I bear on behalf of Liberty is also borne by tens of millions of fellow Patriots. Let us pause to remember who we are -- and the countrymen who stand with us. We are American Patriots, defenders of First Principles and Rule of Law. We are Sons and Daughters of Liberty -- Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and public servants standing in harm's way at home and around the world, who are loyal, first and foremost, to our revered oath to "support and defend" our authentic Constitution, not the so-called "living constitution" espoused by cadres of "useful idiots" on the Left. We are grassroots leaders and local, state and national officeholders who, likewise, honor our sacred oath. We are mothers, fathers and other family members nurturing the next generation of young Patriots. We are farmers, craftsmen, tradesmen and industrial producers. We are small business owners, service providers and professionals in medicine and law. We are employees and employers. We are in ministry at home and missionaries abroad. We are students and professors at colleges and universities, often standing alone for what is good and right. We are Patriot sons and daughters from all walks of life, heirs to the blessings of Liberty bequeathed to us at great personal cost by our Patriot forebears, confirmed in the opinion that it is our duty to God and Country to extend that blessing to our posterity, and avowed upon our sacred honor to that end. We are vigilant, strong, prepared and faithful. We are not defined by race, creed, ethnicity, religion, wealth, education, geography or political affiliation, but by our devotion to our Creator, and the Liberty He has entrusted to us, one and all. In the Spirit of Christmas, and every day of the year, it is my fervent prayer that we, individually and as a nation, turn to the Light of our Creator for wisdom and peace. In keeping with this blessed Christmas season, I invite you to visit our Patriot Christmas page, which provides some insight on the history and current context for the celebration of Christmas. And in this last of the 2012 columns from this humble Patriot, you note that before attaching my signature to any essay, letter or e-mail, I close with a few words in Latin -- words that summarize my life's mission: Pro Deo et Constitutione -- Libertas aut Mors Semper Fortis Vigilate Paratus et Fidelis To these I must add "et Gratus" -- and Grateful. I am eternally grateful to God for all His provisions, and that includes YOU, our Patriot countrymen. Have a Merry Christmas and may God light shine bright upon you, your family and our great nation in the coming year! Pro Deo et Constitutione — Libertas aut Mors Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus et Fidelis Mark Alexander |

what a rube. Who's exploiting pain for gain? What "gain" do democrats hope to get? Call me when Wayne LaPierre forgoes his million dollar salary to help pay for the security guards his organization is recommending for every school. If anyone exploits pain for gain, it's that guy. |

The reason Houghtam is because Obama promised he wasn't going to make gun control a big issue. It's the left pushing a hidden agenda after an event they feel gives them polticial traction.
The reason you don't like the idea of arming a guard at schools is because that doesn't change something you don't like. It's not about making kids safer. It's about coming after guns. The reason movies are not talked about is because guess what? They lobby with as much money as the NRA does and give more to politicians. Notice the liberal politicians say almost nothing about that. Hollywood a huge lobbying force. They want to show 15 yr olds gun blasting violence. An assault style rifle ban and 10 clip limit just won't bite into our gun homicide rate. For one 90% of them done with handguns. Two people with rifles will just use more then one clip. |
