Mama Winger's Kitchen Table

In honor of those parents who are vigilant about protecting their school children from the left-wing agenda, I’ve created this T shirt:

Parents simply do not trust this man with their kids. Look at who he surrounds himself with from the world of ‘education’. Some school districts are doing the right thing and saying they will opt out of this. Is your school district one of them?

The fear on the street is palpable. Ever since the election of Barack Obama as President of these United States in November 2008, coupled with the election of a democrat party majority in both the U.S. House and Senate, concern for the United States and personal safety has ignited like a fire in dry grass.

Sales of guns – black guns, rifles, shotguns and handguns (particularly 9mm) everywhere, have gone through the roof. AR15s have literally flown off of dealer shelves, and only now in the spring of 2009, have I seen the display samples of ARs begin to reappear on the wall of my favorite shooting emporium after the initial post election rush.

Manufacturers of ARs are still working to catch up and some of the major suppliers are as much as 150,000 guns behind. Not only that, ammo is in the shortest supply I have ever seen in the 43 years of my shooting life. Have you recently tried to get 5.56mm, 9mm or even 380 ammo?

Supplies of 5.56mm and 9mm ammo are in short supply due to the black gun buying craze; .380ACP because of the rise in people getting concealed carry permits and the resurgence of interest in convenient 380 handguns like the fine Ruger LCP. In fact, in doing a review of the Ruger LCP, my gun store only had a small supply of ONE .380 round on hand, the Winchesters 95-grain SXT, which they had just gotten in. Unfortunately, I had to do a 30-round review of that pistol. There was none other to be found.

What is odd about this new fear is that it is not coming from the average citizen gun owner out there, but it is coming from what to me is an almost shocking source: street cops…….

………First, fear of federal government intrusion into our lives. Every time I look at or listen to the news, there is something new and intrusive coming out of the Obama administration and this Congress. New tax schemes, government-run Canadian-style healthcare, a volunteer citizen defense force (whatever that is, what happened to the National Guard?) equipped with funding similar to our military, forced voluntary “service” after retirement, a lack of a southern border with hordes of illegal and criminal aliens pouring over our border, the swine flu scare as well as government forced closing of thousands of privately held Chrysler and GM dealerships, which will be the final nail in the coffin for these companies and the list goes on and on.

But these items in the news are just the tip of the iceberg……..

“Obama’s campaign to erase individuality and ambition reminds me of my old life in communist Slovenia.”

Perhaps the most disturbing sight for me during the campaign — even more than Obama before the mobs in Berlin — was the corn-fed Midwestern couple starring on one of Obama’s commercials. Those were the people that I grew up with — salt of the earth. But I winced as I heard them tell Obama about their personal problems with bills and health care while soft music played in the background creepily.

They wanted him to take care of them. True to form, while North Korea conducted nuclear tests, Obama hailed his credit card reform — as if we are incapable of reading the fine print or making a phone call on our own. While young protesters longing for fair elections died in the streets of Tehran, Obama signed a bill to protect us from cigarettes. Now Obama wants to tell us what medical procedures we should have, how much we should earn, and what kinds of cars we should drive.

What are the responses to complaints about such violations of our “unalienable right” to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”? Frequent proclamations by the White House press secretary, by the secretary of state, and by the president himself of “we won.” And during his June 23 press conference, when presented with criticisms about his response to Iranian protests, Obama royally proclaimed twice, “I’m president.” So much for “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Now it’s only the “people” who voted for Obama.

Jefferson City — A report about modern militia activity will no longer be distributed to Missouri law enforcement officers after receiving nationwide criticism that it contains political profiling.

The decision came Wednesday, hours after Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder called for Department of Public Safety Director John Britt to be placed on leave because of the report, which said followers of third-party political candidates might be militia members.

Missouri Libertarian Party spokesman Mike Ferguson said his party is happy with Britt’s apology, although they support the efforts of other groups to look at other parts of the report.

The response hasn’t satisfied Kinder. He criticized the public safety director’s apology for not mentioning another aspect of the report, which included militant anti-abortion as an ideology sometimes espoused by militia members.  Kinder pointed to other groups, such as eco-terrorists, not mentioned in the report.

“There was no mention of this, because apparently it’s more important to focus on pro-lifers,” he said.

“Mama Winger’s Bumper Stickers May be Hazardous to Your Criminal Record”
…… particularly if you drive a car  in the State of Missouri:

“A recent report issued through the Missouri State Highway Patrol is stirring alarm among citizens and some elected officials that Christians, political conservatives, and opponents of unconstitutional government action are being targeted for intimidation and harassment — or worse. The drafters of the report clearly are attempting to create in the minds of law-enforcement personnel an association between violent “right-wing extremists” and the millions of law-abiding Americans who oppose gun control, the United Nations, the Federal Reserve System, the income tax, illegal immigration, and abortion.”
It appears that the Government now thinks that you and I are mighty suspicious characters, simply because we prefer Life to death, Liberty to chains , and the Rule of Law to unconstitutional power grabs.

Apparently, George Washington himself would have raised suspicions if he had been a resident of the State of Missouri today.  Here are some of his quotes, which had they been made into bumper stickers, would surely have landed him on an Enemy of the State list somewhere:

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.”

“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

Uh-oh.  All this talk of individual liberty, faith in God, resisting government tyranny, even the (gasp) mention of guns!  Old George was clearly a dangerous and un-American man.

Anyway, for obvious reasons you do NOT want to purchase bumper stickers  like this:

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
