Understanding the Liberal-Conservative Divide through the Gun Debate

By KYLE SCOTT, UH professor & The Conservative Professor

The debate that has swept over the nation has now landed in the Lone Star State with the Texas legislature proposing laws that would decrease the restictions on firearms. The proposed measures would make it easier for students and faculty who legally own a registered firearm, and who hold the requisite license to carry a concealed handgun, to carry their weapon on college and university campuses in the state. At first blush this may seem like something new, but as we saw a few months ago at the North Harris campus of the Lone Star College System, students are already carrying firearms onto our campuses. All these new measures would do is to allow citizens who can legally own and carry firearms to protect themselves when the law fails to do so.

“Big Brother is watching. And Big Brother is the IRS” by The Conservative Professor, Dr. Kyle Scott

Big Brother is watching. And Big Brother is the IRS

If you talk about the IRS don’t do it via email or text—the agency you mailed a check to this week can eavesdrop without a search warrant or probable cause. Since 2009 the IRS has held the position that the Fourth Amendment does not protect electronic transmissions.

The Stored Communications Act provides insufficient Fourth Amendment protections and the Supreme Court needs to make a clear statement against the infringement of Fourth Amendment rights by agencies like the IRS. But unfortunately the Court declined the opportunity to do so on April 15th, perhaps the Justices were too busy filing their taxes, when it refused to hear Jennings v. Broome, which would have allowed it to decide on this matter.

Congressional Dems Plotting Run on American’s Retirement Savings

The proposed Cyprus Deposit Tax to pay for bank bailouts enraged depositors who were threatened with a tax on their savings. Fear generated by this proposal caused a run on the banks. Repercussions from this proposed confiscation of personal savings can affect saving and investment throughout Europe. Worse still it could catch on in here. Congressional democrats are plotting the expropriation of American’s private 401(k) and IRA retirements savings accounts in favor of “a guaranteed income”.

GREAT AT ARTICLE from Local Writer, William Sullivan on Racism

Remembering Why Jackie Robinson Was a Hero
by William Sullivan via American Thinker

My thoughts on the subject –Robin

Racism attacks Freedom and Justice. However, the opposite of racism is not affirmative action which creates a victim class and steals from the innocent as well as the guilty to make restitution. Restitution? Restitution is welcoming all into our schools, and expecting excellence from all according to their varying interests and abilities.

Anyone who views every incident or issue by seeing first the races of the individuals is truly racist. Those who look first for the facts in order to uphold blindfolded justice are NOT racist, but are Americans according to the highest ideals entrenched in our Declaration of Independence. No, the economic interests of men may not have been true to those ideals, but they were set to be incrementally attained.

Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King both dreamt of a time when the playing field would be level and all could endeavor to earn the rewards for their best efforts. I stand with them, and would like to move forward beyond racism back to Justice for All.

AFL-CIO Allegedly Helps Write Amnesty Bill then Stifles Political Process

Earlier this week, AFL-CIO director of immigration Ana Avendañon said the massive labor union would eviscerate politicians who stand in the way of amnesty for America’s at least 11 million illegal immigrants. “Politicians know that if they stand in the way of citizenship we will steamroller them,” Avendaño said. “That’s a fun evolution.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents’ union president Chris Crane adds that he thinks the AFL-CIO’s threats are even more troubling in this particular case because the massive labor union was one of the few special interest groups that had a hand in actually writing the legislation.

Crane said, “In effect, AFL-CIO leadership is threatening to target lawmakers who oppose the very bill the AFL-CIO helped secretly write behind closed doors. While the AFL-CIO obviously had its chance to provide input on the proposed legislation, it seems clear that the AFL-CIO plans to deprive other Americans from having the same opportunity through their elected representatives.”

Illegals Taunt, “Obama Will Let Me Go!”

“Obama Will Let Me Go!”
” Posted Friday, April 12th 2013 by Jim Forsyth

The debate in Washington on immigration reform has had no political impact, but the debate is having a major impact on south Texas, 1200 WOAI news reports.

Officials say the number of people entering the U.S. illegally is way up and, tragically, the number of undocumented immigrants who have been found dead in the unforgiving Texas Brush Country is way up, and is on path this year to beat last year’s record for the number of people found dead in the ranch country.
