MORE ON JOHN HINCKLEY -- From today's Virginia Gazette Yesterday I posted a headline and some information about would-be Reagan assassin, John Hinckley's, efforts to be mainstreamed in our Williamsburg, VA community. More information is now available and it further supports the idiocy of attempts to mainstream criminally insane people. In Hinckley's case, a single federal judge, Paul L. Friedman,  is pushing, against advice of all others, for increased visitation which portends "eventual mainstreaming." Simply stated, "this is power that one biased person should not have." Of course the judge is biased!! His politics are also predictable. Such decisions are driven by left-wing political philosophy. Always have been. The judge is "prodding St. Elizabeth's Hospital to proceed with plans to expand overnight visits here to "two 17-day visits followed by six 24-day visits, which could lead to [permanent] convalescent leave here, with his...

MENTAL ILLNESS -- MORE ON THE IDIOCY OF MAINSTREAMING CRIMINALS Hospital pushes plan for more Hinckley visits here The hospital responsible for the care of attempted presidential assassin John Hinckley Jr. intends to move forward with a plan seeking more visits for Hinckley to his mother's home in James City County.  This is a headline for an article to appear Saturday, Dec, 29, 2012, in our local paper, The Virginia Gazette. In spite of the recent massacre at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, CT, and many other such incidents as contra-indicators, the social workers and psychologists at the hospital where would-be presidential assassin, John Hinckley, has been confined have been fighting for at least two years to mainstream him right here in our community to live with his octogenarian (and not well) mother. HINCKLEY'S OFFENSE: ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT REAGAN ON MARCH 30, 1981, DISABLING SS AGENT BRADY AND WOUNDING THE PRESIDENT.  Hinckley was ju...

This post is another thoughtful and accurate treatise on the state of our culture and the crime that is perpetrated by bad, misguided policy. BY DR. ROBERT WARREN, PhD VIRTUAL VIOLENCE, DEPRAVITY AND MASS MURDER Another mass murder at a gun free zone, and another attack on the right to bear arms. The avoidance of reality and common sense, and its replacement with political correctness. The debauched culture of society, and its impact on the mental state of everyone. The television, movie and video game industries have made graphic gore and human mutilation into entertainment akin to the gladiatorial games in ancient Rome. It wasn’t too long ago that the Lone Ranger shot the gun out of the badman’s hand. Today, he would have plugged him the right between the eyes, had Tonto gut him, and then turn the remains over to Doc to have a complete autopsy for everyone to see. How do we even know that there is a badman? The Lone Ranger is the one wearing the ma...

Written by Dr. Robert Warren. Dr. Warren posts here occasionally. He is a long-time DOD professional and is an expert on accident investigations and assessments. He heads a company doing such work. Please see his comments also on the VATech massacre and current situation. Please post. I called Congressman Wittman and VA Delegate Pogge to protest the ignorant passive defense policy that is also in place at VATech as we speak. Until we get out of the anti-gun mind set and into the pro-self defense mindset more of this murderous activity will tale place. Bob Warren: Lessons from the Sandy Hook Massacre: The horrific mass murders at Sandy Hook Elementary and Virginia Tech illustrate the inadequacy of current approaches to school security. Lockout, lockdown and hide doesn’t work very well because they constitute a passive response to active acts of violence and evil. An active defense involving active countermeasures is the only practical and effectiv...

NEWTOWN TRAGEDY -- REFLECTION ON GOOD AND BAD --- SUGGESTIONS FOR POLICY Some may think it a fools mission to look for goodness in such a senseless tragedy as the shooting of 26 people in Newtown, CT, 20 of them children who never had a chance to live life. But, as the story has unfolded, goodness, even heroism, is revealed in the teachers who protected their children as best they could with some giving their lives to do so. Sad as that may be, it is emblematic of what America has been all about -- a traditional American culture that seems all but gone by the decades-old  sub-cultural change that is symbolized by the mass murder of the innocent, an act that would have been unthinkable in America a few decades ago. I'm compelled to remember the shooting of 32 innocent people at VA TECH, lined up like in a shooting gallery and gunned down. I couldn't but wonder why one or more of those, who were lined up and shot, didn't "take the shooter down" even though it ...

Click here: Susan Rice Withdraws Name From Secretary Of State Consideration  As I've watched Susan Rice try to protect President Obama against criticism and punitive actions for the Benghazi, Libya massacres Obama reminds me of a buck dee r. Hunters will understand this as one construction man did the moment I mentioned it to him last week. As Rice "withdraws" her name from consideration for Secretary of State, the comparison is more clear. Also, as I watch the debacle of unions fighting the Michigan decision to become a Right to Work state I am further reminded of the comparison. When a hunter "on a deer stand" sees a couple or more female deer (does) gingerly walking through the woods sensing the landscape around them for danger, the hunter can be fairly sure there may be a buck following the does. NOW I KNOW WHERE "LEADING FROM BEHIND" originated. If the does  find a place to feed and encounter no danger, don't get shot for example,...

MANY HERE WILL DOUBT IT, AND EVEN IGNORE IT WHEN IT'S CLEAR TO ALL. AMERICANS AREN'T EVEN ALLOWED TO CALL TERRORISM WHAT IT IS BUT THEY CAN BE, AND ARE, HARASSED FOR DOING SO ...DO A MAJORITY JUST NOT CARE?? OH BTW, TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE OBAMA-STACKED NLRB IS DOING TODAY. LOOK IT UP. A controversial proposal to create a government dragnet, sweeping up millions of records about U.S. citizens, was signed into effect earlier this year after much debate. The rules allow the National Counterterrorism Center to examine the government files of U.S. citizens for possible criminal behavior, even if there is no reason to suspect them. Through Freedom of Information Act requests and interviews with officials at numerous agencies, The Wall Street Journal has reconstructed the clash over the counter-terrorism pro...

Here is a prayer I offered as the invocation for a CARMA luncheon meeting on November 15, 2012. CARMA IS COLONIAL AREA REPUBLICAN MEN'S ASSOCIATION,  a group of about 140 people who share concerns about the decline of our great nation. While this is not intended to represent the view of every CARMA member, many expressed wishes to make the prayer "public." This is not easy to come to grips with and my not being a theologian makes it even more difficult. We are profoundly concerned that traditional America and all she has stood for is all but gone. While her soul may be gone, her name will go on. What will she be?? PRAYER FOR AMERICA – CARMA, 15 NOVEMBER 2012         By Dr. J. A. Mann H EAVENLY FATHER, WE COME TO YOU WITH HEADS BOWED IN GRATITUDE FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS YOU'VE BESTOWED UPON US.

THE CURRENT FACE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY – and Obama supporters To the surprise, and perhaps dismay, of friends of conservative persuasion, I have written about lamenting, even mourning, the loss of the honest, real Liberal Democratic Party of my forebearers. The productive debates we once had are not possible anymore. While I must recognize that conservatives have contributed some difficulties with such debates, nothing they have done or do can trump what has been done to the once proud and honorable Democratic Party by today's far left misfits of the Progressive movement. Just when I thought Bill Maher's scurrilous commentary wouldn't be topped, Michael Moore and MoveOn.Org have trumped him with two adds promoting Obama for reelection and condemning Romney in the most despicable way. The add I speak of has 3 old people (“seniors” that is) who are truly in the moral and ethical gutter promoting Obama. One 97-year old woman (white) finishes off...

OBAMA POLICIES AND DISQUALIFIERS FOR REELECTION I have written variously about failures of the Obama administration. President Obama, himself, had no accountable working experience to give him the knowledge and background to be president. To no surprise, he appointed people to key positions who were like him, not people with knowledge and experience that he didn't (and doesn't) have. Four years later, there is no evidence that Obama understands these deficiencies and will continue doing just as he has if elected to another term. However, the next term will be quite different, and more destructive to traditional America. He will have no constraints of having to be reelected. I will address this further in another post. For now, let's look at some specific policies and initiatives as well as some Obama claims, from a factual standpoint, and not the hype of the shills and Obama media. OBAMA SAVED THE AUTO INDUSTRY NO he didn't . The auto industry was alive ...

A FEW MUSINGS ABOUT WHO OBAMA IS: I learned early in life to look for defining points in people, especially in those in leadership positions. Good character, attitude and command presence are absolutely critical attributes for those in leadership positions to lead successfully. The top leadership position in the world is the Presidency of the United States of America. President Obama does not have the necessary attributes to lead Americans and he demonstrates it often with both his words and deeds. His actions are too often, most often in fact, divisive, polarizing and create dissension and hatred. He deliberately appeals to the worst instincts and the most selfish attitudes of people. It's now clear that this is his character, his method to gain support from enough to keep him in power. Even single words and expressions can, and do, define a person and reveal his or her mindset and inner being. So it is with Obama. His most recent assertion in a speech to a supporting audienc...

  Click here: Retired top military brass push for Romney - Washington Times     The Obama media made a big announcement about Colin Powell endorsing President Obama (again!) which is as surprising as seeing the sun rise in the East and not the West. Gen. Wesley Clark, the CNN darling, likewise, unsurprisingly endorsed Obama.   Will the media make a big splash out of the advertisement due tomorrow from 500 retired military officers supporting Mitt Romney?

   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg-e71IDAUw&feature=player_embedded I have written about many questionable events and failed policies that show President Obama and those in his administration are not qualified either by experience, or by action, to govern the United States of America. All are serious displays if incompetence, but none are more egregious than the dereliction of duty in dealing with the massacre of 4 Americans in Benghazi, Libya. While the major news outlets are covering up the facts of this disaster until after the election Nov. 6, as previously reported, there is enough news available from various sources for Americans to learn the truth. And, the truth is damning, not only for agencies such as State, but for President Obama himself. Even DOD Secretary Panetta is pathetic in his commentary! Even Gen. David Patreus' actions are not clear. What does seem clear now is that Predident Obama and his staff knew in real time what was hap...

I have recently written, with concern about the Libyan massacre cover-up, that the media are "in violation of journalistic ethics and standards." Charles Krauthammer writes, with more credibility than I have, that they commit "journalistic malpractice." The Washington Post's endorsement of Obama and two recent columns by Richard Cohen epitomize that phenomenon. Here is a letter I submitted today to The Daily Press, a Tribune paper.   In a recent column Richard Cohen asked, “could a worse candidate than Michelle Bachmann or Herman Cain” have run for president? While not a supporter of either, I rebutted that Barrack Obama met that criterion. Cohen's column today (30 Oct.) might be interpreted as agreeing with my rebuttal, but ignoring it. He notes a litany of failures, disappointments and inadequacies of President Obama and strangely declares him “not in the mold of RFK.” However, Cohen “will vote for Obama,” his rationale being to “prevent Republicans...

The way the murders in Libya were, and are being, handled by President Obama and the administration is abhorrant. This is a disqualifier that has been downplayed, not only by Obama and his people, but by the media as well. It's a travesty, and no president who handles such a critical issue as an act of war, which these attacks were and are, should be re-elected to make more similar mistakes and cover-ups. I suppose few will be convinced at this point, but hopefully some will. Those who are more concerned about such singular, non-critical, issues such as same-sex marriage and are ignorant, or dismissive, of the critical conditions of the nation as debt, national security, and much more, will not be swayed. Their eyes are closed, as are their minds. But, hopefully some who want truth and are open to analyzing real information and data so as to make a decison as to what is best for 100% of Americans, not just a few, will be prompted to seek truth and make decisions accordingly. Mr. O...

Rebuttal To a "misguided" rebuttal of my endorsement editorial, "The Case for Romney," published Sept 19, 2012 and posted here Sept 24. The inaccuracy of Steve Pasco's rebuttal of my September 19 essay delineating reasons Obama should not be reelected was trumped by The Gazette's headline, “Let's Discuss Issues Factually.” My essay is based on fact and honest analysis of Obama's failed policies. But, I agree. Let's talk facts and analyze Pasco's accusations. His essay is highly flawed, disingenuous and misleading. Pasco's assertion that criticism of the Obama administration's policies indicates hatred of Obama is biased and disingenuous. It's wrong, insulting and a disservice to readers. I became active in 2008 to lead people here to defeat Obama (and did overwhelmingly here), not because we hated him, but because we loved America . Research into Obama's background revealed that he had less to qualify him than any...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi_KaZ53eDg This is a video I wish all Americans, especially blacks and Progressives who use them, could see. I know Bishop Jackson. The first time I met him and heard him speak he opened the speech with, "I'm Bishop Earl Jackson, I am an American, not an African-American, an American. Bishop is a true patriot. I've had him speak to CARMA group here in my town and have met him several times. I am more impressed each time I see him. He is so courageous and could be the best role model any black person, and others, they could have. It always baffles me to think that blacks vote reflexively for Democrats when the Dems simply use them and count on their vote. Barack Obama is no exception! Please listen to Bishop's message to blacks.

This note is to the publisher of The Virginia Gazette that I sent spontaneously after we discussed a rebuttal to an essay and a couple letters from non-thinkers accused me of "half truths," of being disingenuous in telling the truth in a Romney-supporting editorial (published here) of  hatred for Obama. It seems these guys are so accustomed to lying that they think all of us do. It has become the dominant word in their vocabulary and even enhanced after the 1st debate. Honesty is not in their lexicon! More on this in a later post. I am so damn tired of the lying and other scurrilous behavior that I'm about to go into exile again to finish out life's winter season. I quickly wrote off all Republicans except Romney. While he's not ideal to many, I truly believe he has the management acumen to correct major problems and the character to help us get off what I view seriously as a path to perdition. Even with these thoughts, I believe...
