Samuel Adams was known as the “Father of the American Revolution.” Adams was an early American leader and patriot for the cause of liberty in this country. He was the instigator of the Boston Tea Party. Adams was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and served as a member of congress until 1781. He formed the Committee of Correspondence that was responsible to keep the colonists united, and to keep them informed concerning the violated rights they were suffering under the British. Adams served as Lieutenant Governor and Governor of Massachusetts. (Ted Kennedy and company would have been run out of town on a rail in those days.)

While our country is playing Father-may-I with President Obama, Pakistan is like dynamite ready to explode. Pakistan has become a very urgent national security issue for our country. The Pakistani government under the leadership of Asif Ali Zardari is trying to seek peace with the Taliban through appeasement. The Taliban sees appeasement as weakness that it will gladly exploit to promote its evil rule. The Taliban is making tremendous inroads into Pakistan and is exerting its influence on the government. Already the Zardari government has capitulated the Swat valley only one hundred miles from the capital of Islamabad to the Taliban in return for peace. The Taliban agreed to this peace accord and then violated its terms and launched another attack against the district of Buner only sixty miles from Islamabad.

The Second Amendment in our Constitution says, “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Obama, Reid, and Pelosi want to take our guns. Nancy (Jezebel) Pelosi, the U.S. House Speaker, has recently started a public media campaign to register guns that have not been registered by their owners. Pelosi said in one of her kick-off media anti-gun episodes, “We don’t want to take their guns away. We want them registered.” This is nothing but political camouflaged propaganda to take the guns from the American people. Pelosi’s objective is for Americans to register their guns today so Obama and company can confiscate them tomorrow. Gun control has its roots in Communism and Nazism. These tyrannical groups know that a defenseless people is an enslaved people. Communist dictators throughout the world could not have committed the atrocities they did if they had not disarmed the people first.
