I guess I went
complacent, when the Congress passed this Public Law “crap” back
in 2005, under the disguise of the 109th Congress which
included Uncle Ted Stevens, MoanaLisa MurCowpie and Don Young. Yes
“Public Law” under the disguise of disgust, as Congress is
supposed to work for the people, not against the people and this
legislation was definitely out-to-lunch with respect to whom they
arrive in DC to represent. Even though the “corporation is a
person”, how come that bonafide person's vote appears to have more
staying power then my little old vote? Better said, how come the
entire cast of crooks caving into the “corporation” haven't been
arrested as of yet? How many dysfunctional Congresses must “We the
People” endure while bitting thy tongs before we get the point?
Mark Twain was right on, they should all be incarcerated and that was
way back when the Congress had an approval rating heading into the
ground – today it reeks of a dust bowl and we are all refuges! NO,
that approval rating cannot go any lower! I would be embarrassed to
have a name tag of Senator or Congressmen. See, we may have become
complacent to our own detriment back then - especially when we gave
up hope while Dubya was at the helm and due the fact that he was a
disgrace and didn't represent America - so we ran for cover while
that town in Texas continued to realize it was missing an idiot! No
wonder Dumb George cannot yet write any worthwhile memoirs, as there
are none that deserve to be in print. Maybe for comic toilet paper!
Yet our derelictions upon what was going down or coming down from an
administration that gave not a rat's ass upon anything except
incompetence, with an agenda either with us or look out I'll have
Dick shoot, shock & awe your face away to oblivion, well that
doesn't mean we should have let him do as he so well pleased – to
the detriment of this nation's once “good” standing. Even though
Bush stole both elections and gained “capital” through the heist,
it doesn't mean he could cash it in with more destruction upon the
Constitution. If any president should have been challenged as to what
country finds his allegiance, Bush made it known that he prefers the
desert scene and the “House of Saud” over the significance of Mt.
Rushmore. And back then we held the sentiment that in time his reign
of incompetence would wan and he would be relieved of duty and we
could get on with our lives, in that pursuit to happiness. Bush
indeed ruined the true American Spirit and ruined this nation's once
good name, now in vain and the number one contender for the likes of
a bullseye due in fact that we as a nation find weakness amongst us.
When a nation finds such divisiveness, it rings a bell of challenge
upon those so destined to wreck havoc. Sure Bush ruined things, as if
that were not a true statement then the Tea-Pary would have never
been born out of frustration. It was born out of the fact that Bush
destroyed this country, or passed legislation that would in time have
a devastating effect upon our right to liberty. But back then, my
God what the hell were they smoking, as today we find out that the
GOP passed the “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act” and it
came to be one of those things we let slip by, and today we see the
victims of such legislation. Had it not been for this “Public Law”,
the Sandy Hook massacre may have been just a horror movie instead of
the real McCoy wherein 6-year old kids looked like they had been
engaged in a Vietnam jungle massacre. Now even though Ted Stevens' is
dead, and MoanaLisa eunuchized – the female version of euthanasia
when a member of the U.S. Senate gets caught in land swindling
dealings – the fact that a bill like this could get through the
membership and get to the Awful Office, it is mind boggling. And Don
Young has always voted for “crap”, so we should have expected
that he would side with brain dead lobbyists – injuries sustained
from wayward coconuts! See, it will take a long time before we see
the total destruction that came from the Bush Dysentery Dynasty, but
it is starting to show its ugly face about face! The fact that this
one particular bill passed, it boggles the mind of common sense. So
thank you Ted, thank you MurCowpie, thank you Don Young, for once
again showing the entire human race that you are fools and we fell
for your “Trust Me” smile once again and are fools also, for
knowing not the truth your ideals and voting you in time after time
after time - because we are indeed stupid! Here is a little take as
to what went on during the 109th Congress back in 2005,
the year in which the NRA made out like bandits through legislation
to help promote Armageddon sooner then later, which today has boiled
over to our schoolyards:
''If this bill passes, we
will silence the voices of victims across the country who have been
harmed by gun violence," Senator Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode
Island and chief opponent of the bill, said before the measure was
approved. ''If this passes, what incentive will there be for gun
dealers to act responsibly?" NONE!
''If this bill passes, we will silence the voices of
victims across the country who have been harmed by gun violence,"
Senator Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island and chief opponent of the

incentive will there be for gun dealers to act responsibly?"
NONE!
Sorry, but it was worth repeating what Reed said
back then!
“Democrats offered several amendments to limit the
scope of the bill, including a proposal to ban so-called
''cop-killer," armor-piercing bullets as well as a measure to
allow law enforcement or the families of children under 16 to sue gun
manufacturers. The amendments were all defeated. This
legislation is another in a long line of congressional payback to the
NRA, to the severe detriment of the safety of the American people.
It's a shameless proposal that shields even the most reckless in the
gun industry," said Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of
Massachusetts.
So here is what they did when we were to busy trying
to bail out our mortgages and working overtime to keep America
running, even when on empty:
Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act - (Sec.
3) Prohibits a qualified civil liability action from being brought in
any state or federal court against a manufacturer or seller of a
firearm, ammunition, or a component of a firearm that has been
shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, or against
a trade association of such manufacturers or sellers, for damages,
punitive damages, injunctive or declaratory relief, abatement,
restitution, fines, penalties, or other relief resulting from the
criminal or unlawful misuse of a firearm. Requires pending actions
to be dismissed. Excludes from such prohibition actions: (1)
brought by a directly harmed party against a person who transfers a
firearm knowing that it will be used to commit a crime of violence or
a drug trafficking crime; (2) brought against a seller for negligent
entrustment or negligence per se; (3) in which a manufacturer or
seller of a firearm knowingly violated a state or federal statute
applicable to the sale or marketing of the firearm and the violation
was a proximate cause of the harm for which relief is sought; (4) for
breach of contract or warranty in connection with the purchase of the
firearm; (5) for death, physical injuries, or property damage
resulting directly from a defect in design or manufacture of the
firearm when used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable manner,
except that where the discharge was caused by a volitional act that
constituted a criminal offense, such act shall be considered the sole
proximate cause of any resulting death, personal injuries, or
property damage; or (6) commenced by the Attorney General to enforce
firearms provisions under the federal criminal code or the Internal
Revenue Code. Permits a person under age 17 to recover damages
authorized under federal or state law in a civil action that meets
specified requirements.
The fact that it even prohibits “a state action”,
this is as BIG as “Big Brother” can get! How come they try too
fool us? And the fact that they “crapped” on present litigation
wherein there could have come fallout upon the “gun running”
corporation, talk about dishonoring Americans and the justice system.
So maybe it is time for a Congressional Dress Code, and here is what
I propose so this sort of thing never happens again:
“It’s safe and
effective, used as a general training tool! And the “best”
solution for “DOG ANXIETY”! According to the crypt script,
“…pressure has an amazing calming effect, used successfully to
reduce anxiety for many years for both animals and humans”. It’s
a damn strait-jacket called the “ThunderSHIRT” but comes in red
and blue, instead of the “white strait-jackets” made famous in
old fashion horror movies! Accordingly, it has many uses: For
controlling panting, shaking, drooling, whining, hiding, licking and
bolting. Wow, amazing it is as the latter “strait-jacket
controllable” attributes defines the 109th through the
present 113th Congress - finally a suit that fits! Please
Mr. Sergeant at Arms, please order 434 of these “strait-jackets”
for the U.S. House of Representatives and 100 again for the U.S.
Senate and make it a law abiding dress code that any and all members
of Congress must abide by or else be held in “Contempt of We the
People” and a fine of detention their reward – say a day in the
trenches with other American salt of the earth heroes. If the
“jacket” can rid Congressional members of drooling, whining,
hiding, licking and bolting, maybe it means the “lobby” has been
busted and we will once again see “Representation through Taxation”
as it is supposed to work, “For the People”, NOT a freebie for
the elitist. Then again, it appears that the Federal Judges are
already restrained, as they must realize that something has gone
terribly wrong with the Congress yet refuse to act! And do not they
have the power to act as a “justice militia”, to take hold of
this problem and fix it? There must be something out there in the
government bureaucracy that was designed to eliminate such injustice
from a representative body that gives not a rat's ass that they have
an approval rating in the dust, as when we suffer it appears the
“Corporation” rallies. Yes there is indeed a remedy of justice,
it is called the vote. See, we vote them in time and time again, and
we get more of the same for our complacent attitude towards
governance. We are lead to believe that we must vote, but voting for
incompetence time after time, give US a break. We must begin to
exercise that “Right to Vote” with caution, as to vote for more
“crap”, well it corrupts the system even more. In courts of law,
if somebody is wronging you and you let it go on unabated, the
justice will say so what - as your inaction accepted it. And it is no
different today with “Our” representation, we let it slide by as
we are too busy treading water and they take advantage of that fact.
Then when re-election time comes rolling along, they come looking for
the sympathy vote and make threats of loosing this and loosing that,
and we fall for it. So maybe the “strait-jacket” approach is our
only hope, but trying to get Congress in-line to try on a new
wardrobe, don't hold your breath, as they would like us all to
silently pass away and then they could have one and only one person
to answer too, that be the “Corporation” - their ultimate
“person” of interest. Bitter? How can we NOT be?
