You might argue that liberal Democrats aren’t anti-gun or that they’re not a bunch of rights-infringing anti-American creeps, but you’d be wrong.  Despite the plentiful stories in The Armed Citizen Report where ordinary law-abiding Americans defend themselves with their lawfully owned guns, the Democrats have selected anti-gun Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz as head of the Democratic National Committee.  Yep, the new head DemocRat wants to curtail your gun rights…the same rights people in the stories below exercised.

Pike County, Ohio prosecutor Rob Junk made it easy for a journalist investigating a burglary.  In fact, the entire story was essentially one long quote from the prosecutor.”[The armed citizen] was in his home, minding his own business, when these two individuals busted in, at least one of them armed,” Junk said.  “They trained a gun on him and threatened to kill him.  The citizen later had marks on his body where they beat him.”  The homeowner retrieved a rifle and shot at the men, killing one of them.  “The bottom line is that [the criminal] would be alive if he had chosen to obey the law and not burglarize people’s houses,” said Junk.  “Most of our Pike County residents have guns.  I have several.  If somebody broke into my house, threatened me, my wife and my 5-year-old daughter, I would shoot them dead.  Most people around here feel the same way.”  (Portsmouth Daily Times, Portsmouth, Ohio, 02/15/11)

Through Rocco Bombara’s legs were amputated due to a medical condition, he is far from helpless.  “He’s not someone to mess with,” said his daughter, Nicco.  “He’s pretty tough.  He does everything on his own.”  Rocco also understands that sometimes evil men perceive the physically challenged as easy prey.  One such individual attempted to break into Bombara’s apartment while his son, daughter and several of their friends were watching television.  The intruder crawled halfway inside the window and randomly fired two shots from a rifle.  Bombara drew a handgun from his wheelchair and returned a more precise shot, killing the intruder.  (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Pittsburgh, Pa., 01/03/11)

A couple in their sixties were awakened by loud, repeated banging on their apartment door.  They went downstairs and the husband opened the door – and an intoxicated 28-year-old man pushed them aside and entered the home.  The suspect shoved the husband and repeatedly claimed to live in the apartment, ignoring the couple’s insistence to the contrary.  The couple tried to push the man back out the door, but he punched the man in the groin and shoved the woman.  That’s when the husband informed the intruder he had a gun and would shoot him if he didn’t leave; however, the intruder remained relentless in his assault.  The husband fired a shot, killing him.  (Lansing State Journal, Lansing, Mich., 02/05/11)

Upon having his slumber disturbed by the sound of breaking glass, a homeowner quickly retrieved his pistol.  He walked down the hall and discovered two men forcing the front door open.  He shouted at them, demanding they identify themselves.  The men did not reply, but continued breaking in – that is, until the homeowner shot one of them with his .45-cal. pistol.  Police found the wounded burglar lying on the ground outside the home and arrested him; his accomplice had already fled. (The Times, Ottawa, Ill., 01/21/11)

It was less than a year ago that Chicago’s government was forced to repeal many of its rights-infringing laws, and a southside resident recently joined the growing list of armed citizens owing their lives to the Supreme Court’s ruling.  Hearing glass breaking in her basement, a 45-year-old got her handgun and confronted two intruders already inside the home.  “I was scared for my life,” she explained.  “I’ve never been so scared before in my entire life.”  One of the men wielded a tire iron, and the woman opened fire upon him.  He fell and died.  His accomplice fled.  “I thank God that I’m still here,” the woman said. (The Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Ill., 02/21/11)

When 70-year-old Watson Green discovered a man attempting to break into his home late one evening, he immediately called 9-1-1 and got his handgun.  Green advised the 9-1-1 operator that he was armed.  The operator told him to put the gun away and wait for police but Green chose to do otherwise.  In fear of his life, Green fired a single shot, killing the suspect.  Two weeks prior to his death, the suspect was arrested for burglary in a separate incident.  “We’ve had a lot of break-ins in Hobbs lately,” said Hobbs, N.M., Police Officer Mike Stone.  “The residents of the home were probably scared.” (KRQE-TV, Albuquerque, N.M., 02/23/11)

The Armed Citizen Report: December 2010

It might be hard for you to believe but I still have people tell me how horrible George W. Bush’s presidency was when it comes to unemployment.  A very liberal, retired union member whose name I won’t use (GH) claimed that unemployment under Bush was over 8%!  I can only guess where he got that number but like most libs that attempt to use facts he got them wrong and couldn’t/wouldn’t source the data.  The table below comes directly from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics which…is under the Obama administration’s control…not the Bush (or Cheney) administration.

As you can see, the Bush unemployment numbers are far better than the Obama administration.  The libs will still scream, “It’s Bush’s Fault,” but it’s worth noting that the highest unemployment numbers during Bush’s tenure occurred after the Democrats regained the majority in the House of Representatives and Senate during the 2006 mid-term elections and they’ve gone up ever since.

John Maynard Keynes, Economist

The liberals, progressives, elitists, and marxists who support President Barack Hussein Obama usually take every opportunity to make personal attacks on anyone who is conservative or an anti-Obama critic. That’s especially true if a critic or conservative dares to provide indisputable facts about, or express any well founded criticism regarding, President Obama’s policies.  The usual liberal response is to quickly say how stupid, uneducated, and uninformed the conservative/critic is.  They clearly believe that they are the intellectual elite and everyone else is part of the mental midget society.

Recently a number of President Obama’s ardent supporters were caught on video expressing their opinions of a sign at the Restoring Sanity Rally in Washington, D.C. that simply asked “Obama = Keynesian?”  Here at Happily American we are very well aware that the sign was asking about President Obama’s economic policies and philosophies, and whether they were influenced by British economist John Maynard Keynes but apparently the President’s supporters were not.  It seems they were confused and thought the sign was commenting on the President’s place of birth (some say Kenya).  Whether these highly intelligent democrats had difficulty seeing the sign, can’t be bothered to distinguish between Kenyan and Keynesian, or have some other intellectual impediment has not been determined….but the results are hilarious!  Intellectual elite indeed!

To be fair, education in the United States isn’t very strong now days in the subjects of economics, geography, or even reading.  So, who could blame these poor minions of the great and powerful Barack for not being able to distinguish between Kenyan and Keynesian?

Just Say "No!" To Voting DemocRat

It’s a simple question, “Why Would Minorities Vote Democrat?”  I ask this question because elections are once again upon us and with elections come the accusations regarding which political party took actions against or for a particular group.  As usual the Democrats are trying to paint Republicans as a bunch of racists while portraying themselves (falsely) as saviors coming to the rescue of minorities.  The Democrats are not now, nor have they ever been, friends to minorities.

There are two things I always find strange about Democrats posing as Knights fighting on behalf of minorities.  The first thing I find strange is that Republicans often don’t challenge the Democrats very well when it comes to their record defending minority rights.  The second thing that’s strange is that minority voters often buy into the Democrat’s story despite historical fact.  For instance, it’s historical fact that Democrats were Knights when it came to minorities all right…Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).  The KKK was founded by and operated by Democrats who did everything they could to terrorize minorities and suppress the political power of minorities.  The video explains:

Since the days of the KKK nothing much has changed in the Democrat party.  You might find that statement odd considering we now have a black President and members of the Democrat party reflect all ethnic groups and liberal ways of life, but if you look closely you’ll see that the policies they promulgate serve to keep minorities voting Democrat and dependent on government in general.

With the 2010 mid-term elections less than two weeks away it’s seems strange that people I talk to have forgotten that we have already had four long years of DemocRat majority in the Congress.  Yeah, I know it seems longer than that for some of us but some voters they seem to forget that during the last two years of George W. Bush’s presidency the DemocRats were in charge of both houses of Congress.

The 2006 mid-term elections saw the Republicans lose their Congressional majority and the DemocRats gain the majority.  So, in January 2007 the DemocRats took over the national budget and all Congressional committees.  Yes dear reader, the DemocRats have been in charge of federal oversight for banking, housing and mortgages, and much more for about four years…are you better off?

If your having a hard time remembering what the DemocRats have been up to for the past four years here’s a video to jog your memory:

Remember now? On November 2nd remember who’s been in charge for the last four years and choose between more of the same crap or a new direction.

Ask any liberal Democrat who’s in favor of criminal immigrants and they’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’ the dope coming across the border?

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’t seem like they like America a whole lot to me.

The 23rd Congressional district of Texas is currently represented by a person, I hesitate to say man, who apparently holds the people he is supposed to represent in contempt.  When it comes to Democrat Congressman Ciro Rodriguez it’s not just a matter of ignoring his constituent’s letters and phone calls, nor is a matter of a solitary comment in an unguarded moment.  No, it’s more about a pattern of behavior that’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.

Any Congressman that dislikes answering his constituent’s questions and has a real problem with the truth 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’m Happily American so glad I don’t live in his district.

If you’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’t know that Arizona is having problems with criminal immigrants because Arizona borders Mexico.

Do you know why Democrats in the media and government like to spread malicious lies about conservatives being intolerant and violent when they gather at Tea Party meetings or anywhere else? It’s because they believe everyone shares their point of view and their willingness to shout down and even physically attack anyone they deem a political or ideological opponent. That’s certainly the case with Congressman Bob Etheridge the Democrat representative from North Carolina’s second district as seen in this video.

Clearly the Congressman must have believed that the student was engaging in an unamerican act for daring to ask if he, a U.S. Congressman, supported the Obama agenda.  To a Democrat that seems to be the ultimate sin…questioning Obama and the Democrats…and it warrants a physical attack.  Next time you hear about “potential violence” from Tea Party gatherings just remember Congressman Bob Etheridge.
