The headlines blared!

Obama hurt! Obama loses! Obama to continue to push for legislation even without congress!

I read these headlines in the aftermath of congress' rejection of Obama's gun bill and I cannot help but wonder....what color is the sky in the world of those who honestly think that this man is finished with the issue of gun confiscation in America. Make no mistake, this is not about Newtown or anything other than disarming America. This president will not accept defeat at the hands of congress and he told us that yesterday. Even if that means blatantly violating the constitution. So to hell with the three branches and the separation of powers and the checks and balances. Obama knows best!

The last I checked, the congress makes law, not the presidency, but that will not stop this man. He has in as much as told America that he intends to move on without the approval of congress. How exactly is that accomplished? By executive caveat. By executive order, or by other means also known as dictatorial declaration. That is precisely what is in store for America. That is precisely what this president has in store for America.

Make no mistake, the proposed legislation of increased background checks and all the other clap trap that was in the defeated bill, would not have prevented Newtown or any of these other massacres of the past twenty years. No more than background checks will stop criminals from obtaining weapons. Criminals don't go to gun stores or gun shows to buy guns. They either steal their weapons or they buy them on the black market were there is no regulation period.

Our problem with guns in America doesn't really involve criminals. Our problem revolves around the sick minds of a generation of individuals who see violence as their path to retribution and individual recognition.

Recognition by society for a lifetime of failure to balance and reward their own individual lives is what is being sought by these killers. What are they angry about? What are they obsessed with? Why are they lashing out with murder to attain the release that they seek emotionally? The answer in my opinion is not that complicated. they are angry for having been born. they are angry for not having all of the things that this society tells them that they should have. They are angry for illegitimately being denied that which is rightfully theirs. Get inside the emotional reality of what our permissive society has allowed to be created and nutured if you truly want to know why these killers suddenly go off and begin murdering as many as they can find. .

The Sandy Hook killer took his retribution on his mother, killing her and then stealing her weapons to further his murderous desires for others to be made to pay for his own individual insanity. An insanity brought forth by a society that condones violence as entertainment, yet turns right around and tells us that we have to get rid of guns. A society that refuses to assign individual accountability for individual actions, but then tells us that these individuals have to be held accountable (after the fact). A society that always claims that it is someone else's responsibility for the failures of the individual, yet the only solutions tendered, are to punish all for the sins of the minority. A minority that society has created and nurtured.

But never fear, our president is going to make everything alright. He is going to proceed with his desire to see all of America disarmed, so that he can better protect us from the failures of our own making.

"Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin.

Gun control: President Obama’s biggest loss
Never before had President Barack Obama put the moral force and political muscle of his presidency behind an issue quite this big — and lost quite this badly.
The president, shaken to the core by the massacre of 26 innocents at Sandy Hook Elementary School, broke his own informal “Obama Rule” — of never leaning into an issue without a clear path to victory — first by pushing for a massive gun control package no one expected to pass, and then sticking through it even as he retrenched to a relatively modest bipartisan bill mandating national background checks on gun purchases.

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
