Utah Tells Feds NO On Guns – Colorado Folds
I love this state, it may be difficult to get an adequate cocktail but by God we get to keep our guns, Unlike another state approximately 400 miles to the east, (a hint: it rhymes with Colorado), their story below the Utah info.
According to the Tenth Amendment Center, In Salt Lake City this morning, the Utah State House of Representatives voted to nullify all federal gun laws, rule, regulations and orders on firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition.
House Bill 114 (HB114), introduced by Representative Brian Greene state, in part:
An officer or employee of the federal government may not enforce or attempt to enforce any federal statute, order, rule, or regulation relating to the intrastate ownership, possession, sale, or transfer of a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, ammunition, or ammunition component.
The bill also states the following:
finds that a federal statute, regulation, rule, or order that has the purpose, intent, or effect of confiscating or banning any firearm, firearm accessory, limiting the capacity of a firearm magazine, imposing any limitation on ammunition or an ammunition component, or requiring the registration of any firearm or ammunition infringes on the right of citizens of Utah to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 6 of the Utah Constitution.
effect. The bill will also need the support of all levels of local and state law enforcement in order to be effective.
of his assault-weapon liability measure.

Now to Colorado:
DENVER – Colorado Democrats advanced aggressive gun-control proposals after a 12-hour marathon debate Friday in a state wrestling with its history of heartbreaking shootings and Western heritage where gun ownership is treasured by many.
Democrats moved forward with new ammunition magazine limits and universal background checks. But they withdrew two of the most controversial pieces of the package, including a gun ban on college campuses and a measure to hold assault-weapon owners liable for damages caused by their weapons.
A formal Senate vote on the measures is required next week before the bills clear the Senate. Republicans took to Twitter immediately after debate concluded late Friday to urge changed votes by Monday.
Democratic Senate President John Morse claimed victory in the state’s overall gun-control debate, even as he conceded the battle grew ugly.
“Cleansing a sickness from our souls doesn’t come easy. It’s gruesome,” Morse said in a short speech announcing the withdrawal
of his assault-weapon liability measure.
For the last three decades Colorado has been Californicated, glad I be here and not there.

A Little Dog – A Little Motivation
A DOG NAMED FAITH
This dog was born in 2002. He was born with 2 legs.
He of course could not walk when he was born.
Even his mother did not want him. His first owner also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of ‘putting him to sleep’.
But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him.
She became determined to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself.
She named him ‘Faith’. In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let him feel the movement.
Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him for standing up and jumping around.
Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk.
Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle,
Faith learned to balance on his hind legs and to jump to move forward.
After further training in the snow, he could now walk like a human being.
Faith loves to walk around now.
No matter where he goes, he attracts people to him.
He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows.
There is now a book entitled ‘With a Little Faith’
being published about him.
He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.
His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul’.
In life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better you just need to look at life from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.
Faith is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life.

Evil, Evil, Rich People
Damn you evil rich bastards!! You fund 75% of the nations taxes, damn you all to hell!!
Oh yeah, they are very generous also…..how could they!
How will households at different income levels pay federal income, payroll, corporate and estate taxes for 2013?
Despite claims that those at the top aren’t paying their “fair share,” the Tax Policy Center reports that the often-maligned “1%” will have an average income of $1.4 million, paying $514,144 in taxes. They’ll foot over 30 percent of the total bill.
The top 20 percent of Americans, meanwhile, will pay nearly 72 percent of the federal tax burden.
Here’s how the Associated Press breaks it down…
—
Bottom 20 percent
Average income: $10,552.
Average tax bill: -$284.
Average tax rate: -2.7 percent.
Share of federal tax burden: -0.4 percent.–
Middle 20 percent
Average income: $46,562.
Average tax bill: $6,436.
Average tax rate: 13.8 percent.
Share of federal tax burden: 8.6 percent.—
Top 20 percent
Average income: $204,490.
Average tax bill: $55,533.
Average tax rate: 27.2 percent.
Share of federal tax burden: 71.8 percent.—
Top 1 percent
Average income: $1.4 million.
Average tax bill: $514,144.
Average tax rate: 35.5 percent.

The bottom 20%? They pay nothing and get the aforementioned credits.

Sell The Firetruck
This petty petulant little man is going to make the sequester as painful as he possibly can. It started with the release of the illegals, (before the deadline), to prove that theses cuts would be devastating, and that is just for starters, it will get worse. It is a devious ploy that is going to continue as long as he can get away with it. He is going to keep cutting/slashing jobs of important programs when he could get a resolution that could give him flexibility to cut unnecessary spending.
Well kids it ain’t gonna happen.
Obama is going to cut visible programs and blame the Republicans at every opportunity, it’s the Chicago way. As long as Republicans are battling the administration and Democrats with a new crisis, other Obama problems fade from the spotlight…..Benghazi anyone?
The old shell game is as popular as ever, problem is, the odds favor the dealer and Obama is working with house money.
ps: it was his idea.
God help us.
