However, the few radicals that blow-up innocent women and children are usually cheered on by so-called &#8220;moderates&#8221; who loudly chant &#8220;DEATH TO AMERICA!&#8221; after every explosion and never speak out against their muslim brothers.  Islam cannot tolerate democracy, freedom, or America and seeks to destroy all that it cannot tolerate.</p>
<p>Open your eyes, islam is growing and coming your way.</p>

<p>What would you do if someone broke into your home while you and your children were sleeping?  Yell?  Call 911?  Hide in the closet and hope for the best?  Good luck with that.  The stories below chronicle people who defended themselves and others with lawfully owned guns&#8230;pay attention, it might save your life.</p>
<p>NRA member Geoffrey Tilga purchased items from a convenience store and began walking home.  Unbeknownst to Tilga, two men &#8211; one of them wielding a knife &#8211; quietly trailed him.  Police say one of the suspects approached Tilga and grabbed cash out of his back pocket.  Tilga spun around and the suspects threatened him with a knife.  Tilga, however, is one of the fortunate few New York state residents licensed to carry a  handgun.  He drew his Colt Detective Special .38-cal. revolver and fired a shot.  The robbers fled the scene.  (<em>Democrat and Chronicle</em>, Rochester, N.Y., 04/22/10)</p>
<p>A 15-year-old boy was alone in his mother&#8217;s apartment when he heard a strange sound.  Upon glancing into the living room, he discovered a masked man armed with an illegally possessed firearm.  Police said the boy fled to his mother&#8217;s bedroom and grabbed a .22-cal. pistol.  He then locked himself inside the attached bathroom and listened to the burglar ransacking the home.  When the burglar attempted to enter the bathroom, the boy fired three shots.  The burglar fled the scene.  It is unknown if he was injured.  (<em>Times Daily</em>, Florence, Ala., 06/18/10)</p>
<p>Desperate for narcotics, a man wearing a ski mask and armed with a spear and a baseball bat burst into a pharmacy.  Technician Paul Hemmer confronted the masked man before he had a chance to toss the spear.  Police said Hemmer drew his licensed handgun and asked the man, &#8220;Do you really want to do this?&#8221;  The masked man considered Hemmer&#8217;s logic for a moment and quickly fled the scene.  Law enforcement lauded Hemmer&#8217;s actions.  &#8220;Not only did Paul Hemmer defend himself, co-workers and a customer&#8230;he also prevented dangerous drugs from getting out on the street,&#8221; said Sullivan County, N.Y., Sheriff Michael Schiff.  &#8220;Mr. Hemmer acted courageously and with great restraint.&#8221;  (<em>Daily Freeman</em>, Kingston, N.Y., 06/04/10)</p>
<p>Police said a couple sat in their car deciding what to order from a fast-food restaurant when two men carrying guns leapt into the backseat and announced a robbery.  The boyfriend, a concealed-carry permit holder, drew his handgun and shot both robbers.  One robber was immediately incapacitated and the other ran a short distance before he collapsed.  Both will be arrested upon release from the hospital.  The boyfriend received leg injuries when the robbers returned fire, but he&#8217;s been released from the hospital.  A St. Louis homicide detective said criminals should take note of the incident.  &#8220;It was a victim defending himself.  [Nowadays] you&#8217;ve got a lot of people carrying guns in their cars to defend themselves with, so, too bad for the robbers,&#8221; said Lt. John Green.  (KSDK-TV, St. Louis, Mo., 06/2910)</p>
<p>Two children &#8212; a 15-year-old boy and his 12-year-old sister &#8212; were home alone when two suspects smashed the back window and crawled inside.  The boy heard the commotion and, fearing for his safety and that of his sister, quickly got his father&#8217;s AR-15-style rifle.  According to police, the boy fired  several shots and the burglars fled, suffering from gunshot wounds.  One suspect was hospitalized and the other was sent to jail.  The boy&#8217;s father, a county deputy constable, was the first officer to respond to the scene.  The rifle was a personal-use firearm.  Fellow officers praised the boy&#8217;s actions.  &#8220;As parents, we protect our kids, and as an older brother, he was protecting his sister and himself,&#8221; said Harris County, Texas, Sheriff&#8217;s Officer Lt. Jeff Stauber.  (KTRK-ABC13, Houston, Texas, 06/30/10)</p>
<p>One afternoon, a woman heard the doorbell ring while she was alone in her home.  She did not recognize the two men standing on her porch, so she chose not to answer the door.  Police said she hoped the men would leave, but instead they circled the home and threw an object through the glass back door.  The woman quickly obtained a firearm.  She yelled at the men as they entered the home and fired two shots.  The suspects hastily fled the scene.  (WHNS-TV, Greenville, S.C., 05/31/10)</p>
<p>His odd style of dress for a warm, summer day was what first made a woman notice the suspect.  Sporting a black knit cap, winter gloves, a scarf and goggles, she observed him as he approached her husband&#8217;s car and broke into it.  Her husband got a gun and confronted the suspect, forcing him to lie face down in the driveway.  The husband held the suspect at gunpoint for police.  The suspect, who was on probation, was found to be in possession of drugs, a knife and other burglary tools.  (<em>The News Journal</em>, Wilmington, Del., 06/30/10)</p>
<p>The stories above are representative of those that happen in nearly every city in the United States but you almost never see them lead the news.  Why don&#8217;t news organizations show real life examples of people defending themselves against criminals with their guns? Is it because they would rather you didn&#8217;t have the right to own a gun and don&#8217;t want to &#8220;glorify&#8221; gun ownership?  Maybe.  Stand up and assert your right to keep and bear arms  or it may be lost.  Help protect your rights by<a title="Join The  National Rifle Association" href="http://membership.nrahq.org/" target="_blank"> joining the NRA</a>.  The NRA fights to keep your right  to keep and bear arms intact.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You really have to love Ann Coulter.  She&#8217;s known for speaking her mind and telling the truth as she sees it without regard for the position of the main stream media.  In the video below Coulter is addressing a group of students at Johns Hopkins University.  She points out that when 100% of hijackers are muslim it&#8217;s no longer a profile, it&#8217;s a description of the suspect.  Other than her use of what I consider the very PC term &#8220;extremist&#8221; when describing the muslims who have attacked our country for decades, I&#8217;d have to say she&#8217;s right on target.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ask any liberal Democrat who&#8217;s in favor of criminal immigrants and they&#8217;ll tell you that the people sneaking across the southern border of the U.S. just want a better life.  They want to support their families and be free of the tyranny of their homeland.  The same liberal Democrats, along with their openly Marxist bedfellows, assure us that the criminal immigrants love the United States of America and want to be Americans.  Seriously?  Are they smokin&#8217; the dope coming across the border?</p>
<p>In the video below, SB1070 protesters at the County Jail in Phoenix, Arizona on July 29th are waving the Mexican flag and a Cuban flag adorned with the likeness of the murdering communist terrorist Che Guevara.  Doesn&#8217;t seem like they like America a whole lot to me.</p>

<p>What happens when a criminal confronts a law abiding citizen who is armed with a gun he or she is guaranteed able to own by the U.S. Constitution?  Generally, the criminal has a real problem &#8211; sometimes the last problem of their scummy life.</p>
<p>An 80-year-old Korean War veteran, his wife and great-grandson were asleep when a convicted felon with a 13-page rap sheet allegedly smashed a basement window and entered their home.  Hearing the commotion, the veteran got his handgun.  Police said the suspect drew a gun and fired two shots.  The veteran fired a single round, killing him.  Here&#8217;s where it got even more interesting: The veteran is a resident of Chicago, which has a decades-old handgun ban whose fate was, at press time, about to be ruled upon by the U.S. Supreme Court.  Police declined to press charges against the veteran even though he may have violated the ban.  One has to wonder, would anti-gun zealots favor prosecuting this war veteran for breaking one of their so-called &#8220;common sense&#8221; laws even though his actions saved innocent lives?  &#8220;How are we going to protect our homes without guns?&#8221; said the vet&#8217;s son.  &#8220;That gun law should be abolished.&#8221;  (<em>Chicago Tribune</em>, Chicago, Ill., 05/27/10)</p>
<p>In February an NRA-supported federal law went into effect permitting people who may legally carry firearms to do so in many previously gun-free national parks.  Three months later, a backpacker chose to exercise the new right while hiking in Alaska&#8217;s Denali National Park.  His decision and the new law likely saved his life and that of a female hiker accompanying him.  They discovered bear sign and went on high alert.  The bear, a grizzly, quickly emerged and charged the female hiker.  The male drew a .45 ACP pistol and fired about nine shots, killing the bear.  (<em>Daily News-Miner</em>, Fairbanks, Alaska., 05/30/10)</p>
<p>Police say four known gang members burst into an Arizona store that sells car alarms and stereos and announced a robbery.  The gang members began ransacking the store and forced an employee into a back office at gunpoint.  That&#8217;s when the store&#8217;s owner emerged onto the scene and opened fire with a shotgun.  One gang member was killed and two were wounded.  The store owner, whose forearm was slightly injured by return fire, held the three surviving suspects for police. (Associated Press, 05/12/10)</p>
<p>Home alone with her baby one morning, a woman heard a knock at the door.  She declined to answer.  A second knock, this time at the back door, aroused her suspicion.  She retrieved a shotgun and attempted to obtain the license plate number of the car outside her home.  To her shock, one of the suspects was able to pick the lock on the front door&#8217;s deadbolt and it began to turn.  She aimed the shotgun at the door.  Police said the suspect opened the door, saw the shotgun and fled the area with an accomplice while shouting that they were merely lost.  The men were arrested.  (<em>Chillicothe Gazette</em>, Chillicothe, Ohio, 05/15/10)</p>
<p>Strolling along on his evening walk, a man with a concealed-carry permit was approached from behind by a robber who thrust a gun in his back and demanded money.  He handed over his wallet, and as the robber was distracted, he drew a .40-cal. semi-automatic pistol from its holster.  The suspect pointed his gun at him, so the man opened fire, killing the suspect.  Police said the suspect may have fired a shot during a robbery the previous week and may have been prepared to shoot again.  &#8220;When we found [the dead suspect] , he was laying on the ground with the gun in his hands and his finger on the trigger,&#8221; said Hazelwood Police Chief Carl Wolf. (<em>St. Louis Post-Dispatch</em>, St. Louis, Miss., 05/06/10)</p>
<p>Claiming to need money for a bus ticket, a man went begging door-to-door.  Several houses into his apparent scheme, he was turned away by Charles and Rita Ray.  The suspect allegedly grew agitated and tried to enter the home.  &#8220;We believe he couldn&#8217;t get in the front of the house and went around to the back and that&#8217;s when the gunshots started,&#8221; said Moss Point, Miss., Police Chief Sheila Smallman.  The victims and the suspect both fired shots.  The Rays were injured but will recover.  The suspect was killed.  (<em>Sun Herald</em>, Gulfport, Miss., 05/23/10)</p>
<p>With her husband working the night shift, a woman was home alone one evening when she heard noises upstairs.  Fearing the worst, she got her handgun before investigating.  A second floor window was shattered and a man was waving a flashlight around in the bedroom.  &#8220;He yelled something at her,&#8221; said Calhoun County, Ala., Sheriff Larry Amerson.  &#8220;She wasn&#8217;t sure what it meant and she was scared.&#8221;  The woman shot the intruder several times, killing him.  (<em>The Anniston Star</em>, Anniston, Ala., 05/19/10)</p>
<p>The stories above are real life examples of people defending themselves against criminals with their guns?  Those in the anti-gun lobby would have you believe that stories like these either do not exist or are exceedingly rare.  However, stories like these do exist &#8211; and they&#8217;re not rare.  Will you follow the example of the real people, the real Americans, detailed in the stories above?  If your answer is yes, you need to assert your Second Amendment rights so you&#8217;ll be able to buy and legally own a gun.   Unfortunately, it&#8217;s become a trend&#8230;Democrat Presidents and Democrat Congressional majorities typically do whatever they can to curtail your right to bear arms.  Stand up and assert your right to keep and bear arms  or it may be lost.  Help protect your rights by<a title="Join The  National Rifle Association" href="http://membership.nrahq.org/" target="_blank"> joining the NRA</a>.  The NRA fights to keep your right  to keep and bear arms intact.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 23rd Congressional district of Texas is currently represented by a person, I hesitate to say <em>man</em>, who apparently holds the people he is supposed to represent in contempt.  When it comes to Democrat Congressman Ciro Rodriguez it&#8217;s not just a matter of ignoring his constituent&#8217;s letters and phone calls, nor is a matter of a solitary comment in an unguarded moment.  No, it&#8217;s more about a pattern of behavior that&#8217;s been talked about around San Antonio for years but has recently been caught on video tape at a town hall meeting that you can see below.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jENE5Nh6qIs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jENE5Nh6qIs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Any Congressman that dislikes answering his constituent&#8217;s questions and has a <a title="Congressman Ciro Rodriguez Should Be Ashamed" href="http://happilyamerican.com/2008/10/14/congressman-ciro-rodriguez-should-be-ashamed/" target="_blank">real problem with the truth</a> like Ciro Rodriguez does needs to be voted out.  Of course the way Congressman Rodriguez behaves with his constituents is only part of the reason he should be voted out.  Other reasons include his votes for every spending bill and earmark he can find and his vote for Obamacare.  I&#8217;m Happily American so glad I don&#8217;t live in his district.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_634" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://happilyamerican.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/LAX_photo.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-634" title="LAX_photo" src="http://happilyamerican.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/LAX_photo-300x199.jpg" alt="LAX" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Record Low July Temps at LAX</p></div>
<p>There&#8217;s a heat wave in the northeast U.S. and that&#8217;s making the news on TV and radio every day.  All that coverage of a heat wave and people &#8220;suffering&#8221; in heat many of us take for granted is used in subtle ways to bolster the fraudulent man-made global warming argument.   However, the anti-global warming news of record low temperatures in Australia and Los Angeles barely gets mentioned.</p>
<p>In a world where the main stream media was objective you might hear about <a title="Meat Trade News: Coldest Day In 100 Years" href="http://www.meattradenewsdaily.co.uk/news/140710/australia___global_warming_my_backside_with_the_coldest_day_in__years.aspx" target="_blank">Australia&#8217;s coldest day in 100 years</a>.  Now, if the hoax that is anthropogenic global warming had any validity and global temperatures were trending higher wouldn&#8217;t record low temperatures be nearly impossible to achieve?  You could ask the people in Isiford, Australia where the record low was recorded what they think about global warming&#8217;s effects.  You might also ask other Australians in nearby locales where temperatures were a full 12 degrees Celsius below average.</p>
<p>How about Los Angeles?  It&#8217;s one of the most media dense areas in the in the United States but have you heard about the unusually cool summer weather they&#8217;re having on the left coast?  On Friday, July 9th <a title="Record Low Temperatures In Los Angeles" href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/07/record-cold-at-lax-airport-as-july-gloom-continues-in-southern-california.html" target="_blank">the temperature at LAX</a> was recorded at 67 degrees&#8230;the lowest temperature for this time of year since 1926.  Is the liberal media so invested in global warming that a record low temperature is barely mentioned?</p>
<p>Information about record low temperatures around the world is very important as it clearly questions, and potentially refutes, the hoax of man-made global warming.  More importantly that refuting Al Gore&#8217;s favorite fiction is defeating the massive <a title="Cap and Trade Legislation" href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-2454" target="_blank">Cap and Trade legislation</a>awaiting passage in the U.S. Congress&#8230;.legislation to defeat a non-existent problem while applying up to $3 Trillion in new taxes on YOU, the American taxpayer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_623" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://happilyamerican.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/supreme_court_building.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-623" title="supreme_court_building" src="http://happilyamerican.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/supreme_court_building-300x222.jpg" alt="Supreme Court of the United States" width="300" height="222" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Supreme Court of the United States</p></div>
<p>Before the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled to strike down Chicago&#8217;s 28-year-old handgun ban in McDonald v. Chicago, the Mayor and Aldermen of Chicago were just un-American hypocrites guilty of denying United States citizens their 2nd Amendment rights.  After the SCOTUS handed down their 5-4 decision on Chicago&#8217;s brainless handgun ban, the Second City politicians are doing something almost as bad.</p>
<p>On Friday, right before the nation celebrated Independence Day,  Chicago&#8217;s Aldermen struck a blow against freedom loving Americans who  just want to defend themselves and secure the blessings of liberty.  In the wake of the SCOTUS decision the Mayor of Chicago and all 45 Aldermen of Chicago have decided that since they can no longer just deny people their rights, they&#8217;ll ration them.  Yes dear reader, Chicago is rationing rights.</p>
<p>Chicago&#8217;s &#8220;Responsible Gun Ownership Ordinance&#8221; is really full of problems for liberty loving Americans but the provision that requires rationing of a Constitutional Right is pretty disturbing.  The ordinance restricts Chicago residents to purchasing only one handgun per month.  Where is that in the Second Amendment?  Did I miss it somewhere?  Does the Second Amendment end with &#8220;shall not be infringed but can be rationed at will&#8221;?  No.</p>
<p>Why anyone would want to buy more than one handgun in a month is completely irrelevant.  What is relevant is that Chicago&#8217;s elected officials who all swore an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution are all too willing to violate that oath.  This time Chicago&#8217;s &#8220;leaders&#8221; are limiting gun purchases but where will that lead?  What will they ration next, Free Speech?  It could be titled the &#8220;Responsible Bloggers Ordinance&#8221; and would limit you to one entry of 200 words per month.  How about a &#8220;Responsible Worshipper Ordinance&#8221; that would limit you to one religious service per month?  After all, too much worship might be detrimental to the jobs of politicians.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re thinking that rationing of speech and religion can&#8217;t happen you&#8217;re wrong.  Fifty years ago rationing of gun rights would have been unthinkable, now you don&#8217;t hear much about it in the media and few seem outraged.  Fight for your rights or you will lose them&#8230;Chicago is just the beginning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_613" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://happilyamerican.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/obama_fly_lip.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-613 " title="obama_fly_lip" src="http://happilyamerican.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/obama_fly_lip-300x218.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="218" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Another Fly In The White House</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying that Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States, attracts flies but I can&#8217;t recall any other President being so plagued by them. Whether Obama attracts them or not, the lowly feces-eating insect says a lot about his presidency and ability to govern.</p>
<p>First, it says he is all too willing to bow to radical special interest groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).  This fly that was buzzing Obama on June 22nd was not subjected to the same fate as the <a title="Obama Kills Fly, PETA Cries" href="http://happilyamerican.com/2009/06/18/big-surprise-peta-wishes-pbo-hadnt-swatted-that-fly/" target="_blank">fly that succumbed to the Commander-in-Chief&#8217;s wrath</a> in June of 2009.  PETA&#8217;s spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Obama shouldn&#8217;t kill flies and Obama clearly has complied.</p>
<p>Next, it calls into question Obama&#8217;s desire to control borders.  After all, if the President won&#8217;t keep nasty disease-infested flies out of the White House or at least capture them once they&#8217;ve entered, why should anyone believe he would keep criminal aliens out of the country?  It also makes me wonder if he&#8217;ll have the Department of Justice file a lawsuit against makers of bug zappers and fly paper&#8230;if he&#8217;ll do it to Arizona why wouldn&#8217;t he do to lawfully operating American companies?</p>
<p>Sometimes a fly is just a fly, sometimes it&#8217;s an interesting symbol of a presidency.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered about the intelligence of people who voted for Barack  Hussein Obama in the 2008 Presidential election you need to watch the video below.  In the video below Peggy West, a Democrat county supervisor in  Milwaukee is speaking in support of boycotting the State of Arizona  because of the new immigration law (SB1070).  The problem is that she  apparently doesn&#8217;t know that Arizona is having problems with criminal  immigrants because Arizona borders Mexico.</p>
