The word in the Constitution that nailed down the definition of the Second Amendment is “Individual”.

That’s right, individuals, not just military personnel, have the right to own guns for “personal use”.

This is a big win for our personal freedoms.

Before the ink was dry, Pelosi made a statement that Washington is still going to be able to regulate gun ownership in D.C. It’s amazing how when the Supreme Court rules on something in the socialists fascists leftists favor, they announce that it’s iron-clad, but if the Supreme Court rules in the other direction, the socialists fascists leftists announce that they’re researching ways to get around the ruling.

It is true that McCain is not a true conservative. I have come to the realization, however, that anything we could do to keep Obama (or Clinton if she had gotten the Democratic nomination) out of the White House, would be in our best interest as a nation.

With rising fuel and energy costs, McCain seems to be the only one of the bunch who supports drilling for more oil. That is the only solution offered by any candidate that would impact the price of oil. Sure, research is needed in alternative fuels, but none of that research will have any impact on the current costs of fossil fuels. The mere knowledge that the United States of America is about to drill for its own oil would cut the speculation causing the rise in crude oil prices down to their legitimate sizes… not sure if I said that right, but the speculation bubble in crude oil prices would pop. The leaders of OPEC have stated publicly that the cost of a barrel of oil should be in the $60-$70 range. That’s about half of what it costs currently, and the rise in cost has only been caused by speculation of a decrease in the supply versus demand ratio.

The other relevant issues concern national security and the ongoing war on terror.

I don’t believe that our country should be charged with spreading democracy. That is the responsibility of the people of each individual nation. I do believe in stopping mass genocide. That is the evil of ruthless dictators, and should be stopped for humanitarian reasons.

Our borders need to be secure. I couldn’t say it any more simply than that. Wanna argue that point with me? Bring it on… comments are welcome and I wont edit them as long as they’re clean.

If we have evidence that our enemies outside of our borders are planning to attack us, we should stop them by the means we have available to us.

The liberal democrats want to play nice and “hope” that if we’re nice to the terrorists, that they’ll have a change of heart… the terrorists extremist religion doesn’t teach that way. Sure, they may act nice to your face, until they have their planning completed. Then the niceness will disappear.

As of this moment, I’ve decided to vote for McCain.

I’ve heard it said, that if your young and a republican, you don’t have a heart, but if you’re old and a democrat, you don’t have a brain. I’m not a republican, although that’s the direction I normally vote. I’m certainly nowhere near calling myself a democrat. To be honest, I’d be willing to say I’m more of a Libertarian. I’d prefer to say I’m Independent, though, because every party in the history of our country has taken stands, and then broken those stands over time. I’d prefer to be right than wrong, and the only way I can stay on that path is if I keep my associations limited to those who’ve stayed solid on their stands… like the NRA.

Well… a little bit has happened since my last post.

I finished my second semester, and yes, I finished with a 4.0.  I started the first summer session, and I’m doing well in that class, although, it’s much harder than any other class I’ve taken so far.  Digital Applications is the class I’m taking, and there’s a lot more lab work to do in this class versus the classes I’ve already taken.  I’ve only got two more weeks to go in this class.

As you may know, I’m taking classes to get an Associates Degree of Applied Science in Instrumentation Technology.  My current position is as a computer technician.  Through my current job, I’ve made many acquaintances.  Luckily, I was pleasant enough to make very few enemies.  My reputation and experience from my current job has given me the opportunity to take a job in Instrumentation & Controls.  I start the new job on June 30.  My Insurance will be active on July 1, and I’ll be making much more than I’m currently making.

There have been quite a few interviews with several companies over the last 8 to 9 months for computer technician positions, but none came to fruition, although many seemed close to blooming.  It’s one of those things that you don’t understand at the time, but God brought the reality to my face when He finally let everything fall into place.

I never could understand why none of those other jobs were good enough.  Christle would tell me that God must have something better in store for me… I didn’t feel it, but I knew that she was probably right.  None of those positions would have been better for my future or pay as well as this one.  Also, if I had taken one of those jobs, this one would have been much harder to attain.

I am blessed.

Just one more week of doing the computer thing, and I’ll get to begin my new career.  I’m really looking forward to it.
