The suspect in the killing of a Mount Rainier National Park Ranger has been found dead, face-down in the snow, according to an Associated Press story.
Although identification of the body has yet to be confirmed, it is believed that the body is that of 24-year-old Benjamin Colton Barnes.
Much has been made of Barnes being an Iraq veteran, supposedly suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), after deploying to Iraq from 2007-2008. The mother of his child said in a signed affidavit that Barnes got easily irritated, angry and depressed and kept an arsenal of weapons in his home. Hopefully, Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik doesn’t come out claiming ‘Right-wing’ radio, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party forced him to do it.
Let’s be clear – PTSD is a very real thing. It was generally associated with returning Viet Nam vets but we’re hearing more and more reports of returning Iraq vets suffering from the disorder. It is my hope that these men and women, as well as those Viet Nam vets who preceded them, be given REAL help from the Veterans Administration and not JUST drugs to make them go away.
My problem with this story, aside from the obvious, that innocent people died is how the loons want to spin the story. I can see it already – ‘Returning Iraq vet goes on shooting rampage.’ The inference being all returning combat vets should be suspect and considered ‘ticking time-bombs’, just waiting to go off.
There are many thousands of combat vets in our midst who are very well adjusted and not a threat to society. The fact that something like this is a big news story when it happens is a testament to how rare these instances are.
While we’re on the subject of ‘spin’… Bill Wade, the outgoing chair of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, is quoted in the AP article as saying Congress should be regretting its decision to allow loaded weapons in national parks. It is his hope that Congress will reconsider the law that took effect in early 2010.
Illogical, reactionary claims, like that of Wades aren’t exactly new. As a matter-of-fact we can count on hearing more of them, ala: Gabby Giffords syndrome. There are those, like Wade who probably believe the nonsense they’re asserting. There are others who subscribe to the Rahm Emanuel school of thought that claims, “Never let crisis go to waste.” They will claim this tragedy as a nexus for tougher gun laws.
Who in their right mind believes Barnes was anything BUT in his right mind? Is there anyone but these anti-gun fanatics who believes this whack-job really gave whether it was illegal to carry a loaded firearm into Mount Rainier?
The park gets estimated 1.5 million and 2 million visitors to the park each year, according to the article. Let’s do the math on that one, shall we? That computes out to 3 million to 4 million people since the law permitted carrying of loaded firearms in the park 2 years ago. One nut job out of 3 million to 4 million visitors who certainly didn’t put whether it was or wasn’t legal to carry a loaded or not in the park. Let me see if I have this correct, Bill – Barnes had no qualms about wounding four people earlier in the day and murdering a National Park Ranger but you believe a law prohibiting him from carrying a loaded firearm into the park would have prevented this tragedy. Do I have that about right? Do you have any idea how illogical that sounds?
There will always be people who either honestly erroneously believe that a gun law will prevent tragedies like this from happening or others who will use them to exploit in an effort to get stricter gun laws. Both factions must be seen for what they are and challenged.
There are those who actually believe we can simply pass gun laws, ban firearms and the world will become a utopian world where no one will ever have to fear violence of any form. I have one thing to say to those folks – you’re stupid! If you think cops carry a firearm to protect you, you’re equally stupid. Cops carry a firearm to protect themselves; not YOU. Does that tell you anything? Probably not.
My suggestion is to take a course in, LOGIC 101 and see if your statements make any sense at all before your blurt them out.

Was Fraud Used In Indiana County To Get Obama On The Ballot?
There are some folks in a Indiana county that are more than a bit peeved to find out their signatures were forged on a petition to get Obama on the ballot.
Seems St. Joseph County Board of Voter Registration worker Dustin Blythe has been identified as having identical handwriting to the forged signatures.
When asked about the fact the signatures were forged and the handwriting matched his, Blythe said, "No comment."
There is no doubt in my mind that the 2008 Presidential election was the most corrupt in American history.

Quote Of The Day
Dennis Miller clearly gets my vote for quote of the day.
While on Fox's O'Reilly Factor, Miller quipped, "Rod Blagojevich got 14 years in the big house for doing the same thing that Obama got 4 years in the White House for doing."

NAACP Claims Minority Vote Is Being Suppressed
NAACP Claims Minority Vote Is Being Suppressed In Upcoming Election
The nation’s largest civil rights organization is claiming foul and it’s taking its case to the United Nations. I guess “There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues” when it comes to the NAACP.
As Rush Limbaugh says, “It should be called the NAALCP – The National Association of LIBERAL colored people.” Why is that, you ask? Because they only defend LIBERAL black – not Conservative blacks. We saw how the NAACP took Conservative blacks like Clearance Thomas and Herman Cain to task. They were accused of being sellouts and “Uncle Toms”.
The NAACP claims individual states in the U.S. are making a concerted effort to prevent the black vote from getting out in the upcoming 2012 Presidential election, citing a whole plethora of new voting laws at the state level. They say 14 states passed 25 measures “designed to restrict or limit the ballot access of voters of color.”
So, what are these new proposed draconian laws and how will they prevent ‘voters of color’ from voting? The proposed laws, largely passed by Republican-dominated legislatures include such egregious things as requirement to present photo ID at the polls, voting restrictions of felons and limitations on registration and early voting periods.
Why, those are the same regulations that the rest of us are subjected to! That’s not fair! Those bastards!
Does anyone remember how Al Franken was elected? I’ll refresh your memory. Ultra Liberal Al Franken demanded a recount of the votes. The recount went on for months. Every time they would recount the votes, Franken would amazingly get more votes and his opponent, Coleman, wouldn’t. Statistically realistic? Not so much.
Anyway, Franken eeked ahead of Coleman and was declared the winner and sworn in just prior to a critical vote needed by the Democrats. Oh, by-the-way, it was later determined that Franken really wasn’t the winner because he was pushed over by a number of felon voters who weren’t eligible to vote. They said it was tough, though because he’d already been sworn in.
How ‘bout the shenanigans of ACORN? Voter fraud, you ask? Just a LOT! How about voter intimidation at polling places by members of the New Black Panther movement? Well, sure, but it was important to make sure America’s ‘first black President’ was elected. BTW, his mother is white. Like, OMG!, as they say in texting vernacular.
Of course our U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder refuses to prosecute those members of the New Black Panther Movement for standing outside a polling place, openly holding night sticks in their hands, intimidating voters going into the poling place. Eric Holder has a track record of not prosecuting a number of folks that he believes to be for the betterment of our current administration. He allegedly claims that he is black, first and U.S. Attorney General, second. If he believes that way, he’s certainly convinced me.
Well the NAACP is certainly not going to stand for such measures. They intend on arguing their case before the UN. Guys, I have a news flash for you… The UN has no authority over individual states in the U.S.; at least not yet. Obama and the Dems would like to change that, however. You see they want to change any and all rules to keep them in power, without regard to consequences.
I liken them to a collaborator in war. They think they will be looked upon favorably if anything bad happens. Of course nothing bad could happen as long as they keep those dumb ol’ Republicans out of office. And Obama will be re-elected because he has his record to run on. Wait, maybe the Dems do have a problem, after all.

Tea Party versus 'Occupy' movement
The Tea Party folks were accused of being racist, yet there was no evidence of them being racist at all, albeit I’m sure you could find an isolated case if you looked long and hard enough. Those instances would be antidotal at best.
You don’t have to look hard to find racist in the so-called ‘Occupy Wall Street movement’, however. There are thousands of document instances. There is no shortage of signs with pictures of Communist revolutionary, Che Guevara saying, “Fight for Socialism”, either
The Tea Party left things at least as clean or cleaner wherever they were and even had to pay for permits. Not so with the OWS folks. They have taken over public places, left bowel movements on cop cars and in the streets, raped and murdered and have offered up an insane list of demands and still the liberals, including Obama and Nancy Pelosi want to “thank God” for them. There were no cops injured by the Tea Party folks. The same can’t be said of the ‘Occupy’ human debris.
The inmates are running the asylum! The Right to assemble does NOT mean the Right to occupy. These losers have caused us taxpayers $millions of dollars. It’s time to put an end to the madness! It’s time for liberals to stop changing the rules for the OWS morons (and I mean that in the nicest possible way).

Arizona wildfires linked to illegal immigrants
According to a Capitol Media Services story by Howard Fischer, "nearly 40% percent of wildfires on federal land in Southern Arizona" were caused by illegal border crossers. Who knew?
There are other fires that haven't been investigated yet which could cause the number of the 30 out of 77 fires to go even higher.
I remember a few months ago when Senator John McCain was criticized for suggesting such a thing. Looks like he knew what he was talking about after all.
Yep, "Just doing those jobs us Americans don't want to do".
There are many fine people in the U.S. who immigrated from other countries, including Mexico. I have to believe these folks are as upset with this kind of behavior as I am. Not everyone here from other countries condone this kind of behavior. Not everyone who is of Mexican decent is flying a U.S. flag upside down or burning it, either. Unfortunately those people who do are the ones who get the press.
My advice would be to get out of the U.S. if you think your country is better. But that's just me.
