‘Obamamania' may assault Second Amendment, bring Fairness Doctrine
By Douglas Wellman Sr.
For The News-Sentinel
“Obamamania” having swept the nation through the anointing of Barack Obama by the liberal media and the money from likeminded socialists, it is, indeed, possible Obama will be our next president. Obama's election will bring about an assault on many of our cherished American rights and freedoms.
I predict one of the first things we see will be the most draconian gun control bill introduced by Sen. Schumer (D-N.Y.) that will be supported by Obama. I predict this bill will make the unconstitutional gun ban enacted in 1994 and dubbed the “Clinton gun ban” look mild.
Obama's record on the Second Amendment is as follows: 1. He has supported a complete ban on handguns; 2. He voted to ban most rifle ammunition; 3. He refused to sign a brief supporting an individual right in the “Heller” case; 4. He supported the lawsuits that were designed to destroy the firearm industry; 5. He opposes the right to carry for self-defense; 6. He supports gun registration (which in Germany before WWII was used to disarm the Jews and used in Australia to disarm its citizens); 7. He served on the board of the Joyce Foundation, a rabidly anti-Second Amendment organization; 8. He voted to allow prosecution of citizens for using firearms for self-defense in their own homes.
These are just a few of the problematic facts relating to Obama's stand on the Second Amendment. He takes these positions despite the fact that wherever concealed- carry laws have been adopted, there has been a reduction in crime. You can also look forward to an international gun ban treaty, being funded by self-anointed messiah George Soros and put together by Rebecca Peters, who was behind the gun confiscation in Australia, to be presented eventually to the Senate for ratification.
Sadly, Obama's position on the Second Amendment wasn't even addressed in the debates. The reason for this is that when all of the facts are known, it's a losing cause for the liberals.
You can also look for the liberals in Congress to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine. The Fairness Doctrine will be an attempt to stifle conservative views by forcing the stations that air talk radio to provide equal airtime to the liberal viewpoints, which are everywhere every day except for talk radio.
The liberals for years have had control of the mainstream media. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The L.A. Times, USA Today, etc., have spewed forth liberal propaganda for years. The problem for them now is that there is talk radio and the Internet. They can't stand the fact that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, Glen Beck and others have a venue to air their opinions. They are upset that many of their pet programs went down in defeat because they were exposed for what they were. How many times has the switchboard in Washington, D.C., been shut down with such a large volume of callers forcing a change in direction?
The Internet provided the platform to expose Dan Rather using a forged document in an attempt to influence an election.
Liberals attempted to compete in the market with conservative talk radio with their “Air America.” George Soros also kicked in several million dollars to get it off the ground. It failed because no one was listening. They could not get advertising as a result.
And let us not forget Obama's plan for economic redistribution. Taking Americans' hard-earned money and giving it to someone else. That is the only way he can give tax cuts to 95 percent of Americans.
Our Constitution will be under assault as it never has been before. James Madison, chief architect of the Constitution and our fourth president, said the following: “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
Be concerned. Be very concerned.

Obamamania' may assault Second Amendment
Barack Obama arrives at the Pearly Gates and is greeted by Saint Peter: "May I go in?" asks Obama. "First I must ask you a few questions" answers the heavenly gatekeeper. "O.K." replies Obama, "I'm pretty good at Q & A." "Well," asks the saint, "What did you accomplish in your time on Earth to merit spending eternity in Paradise?" "I was elected the first Black president of the United States of America!" Obama proudly declares. "A Black president in America!" exclaims Saint Peter. "Hallelujah, when did this happen?" "About 20 minutes ago!" Obama answers.

How many Americans are aware of the following reality:
"No matter which way you *try* to slice it, no matter which way you try and argue otherwise, this *IS* how the world is run.
The Final Warning: History of the New World Order is definitive proof that 'communist' and 'capitalist' political ideologies are nothing more than smoke and mirrors to occupy and distract the masses, while the "elite" follow the pure and undiluted ideology of pure money.
Read The Final Warning and forget Left, Right or Centre in any political considerations, and see how society has been hijacked to such an extent that the only possible solution is to dismantle the system and start all over again - if only that were possible. Sadly, it's not; society is so divided that it's difficult enough to get 2 people to agree on what has just happened on the TV screen in front of them. Try to convince anyone you know of the facts in this book and you will soon see the proof you need of how effective the mass hypnosis has become."

He's pushing ads in rural Oregon that he won't take away guns in any manner, but I don't believe him. Everything he says is contradicted by some other finding or evidence, and he's as slippery as an eel. Nobody in the MSM is revealing his radical communistic background either. See here:

2nd Amendment
They can have my guns when they pry them from my cold dead fingers. I'm sure many Americans feel the same! I sure hope they're not stupid enough to try and take our guns away.
Maybe its time for a serious national debate by the "internet bregade" concerning our Constitution; I'm certain there are a few good men and women left in the halls of congress who would love to give us advice on how we the people can restore our Constitution. Perhaps Ron Paul could lead this debate... --jws&author=joe7000">Suggest removal)
âObamamania' may assault Second Amendment
The 2nd amendment was not a license to shoot deer, it was put into our Constitution by patriots as a final remedy to stop those who would destroy our Constitution. The criminals running the federal government have been chipping away at the meaning of our Constitution since the 2nd world war. I wrote a short piece on my blog for those who might be interested...

For those of us who aren't afraid to dig a little deeper and analyze the issues with a critical eye, we are already very afraid. God help us on November 4.

Obamamania' may assault Second Amendment,
A most enlightening article, presenting information that the liberals do not want one to see. or know of.
If Obama and the libs have their way, only the criminals will have weapons. If he gets into office, it would not surprise me one bit if he proposed that our police forces be like those of England and some other European countries, where their only weapon is a baton. What good is a baton against a Glock, or an assault type of weapon?

obamamania
Your article speaks the absolute truth!
Be afraid....very afraid.
Liberal democrats are too blind to see the oncoming freight train that will soon hit them headon if they elect obama for president.
The same rights and freedoms they complain about so called, not having, will be taken away from them forever if this media annointed czar and left wing nut dictator gets into the presidency.
