Texas State Rep. Steve Toth to file ‘firearm protection act’
Via Don
State Rep. Steve Toth (R-The Woodlands) has begun the process to file legislation assisting the protection of the Second Amendment of the United State Constitution.
The “Firearms Protection Act” bill would make any federal law banning semi-automatic firearms or limiting the size of gun magazines unenforceable within the state’s boundaries. Anyone trying to enforce a federal gun ban could face felony charges under the proposal.
“We can no longer depend on the Federal Government and this Administration to uphold a Constitution that they no longer believe in. The liberties of the People of Texas and the sovereignty of our State are too important to just let the Federal Government take them away. The overreach of the federal administrations executive orders that are do not align with the Constitution, are not very popular here in Texas,” said Toth.
Along with Wyoming, Texas will lead the country in continuing to stand for the sovereignty to run Texas as Texans see fit while exercising the Bill of Rights Amendments 2& 10 to “prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers … [to] extending the ground of public confidence in the Government.”

Romney was correct: Chrysler CEO announces plans to build more Jeeps in China
VERBATIM
Remember this? Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne told reporters yesterday that the company plans to build more Jeeps in China.
The Detroit News reports:
“As part of our global expansion of the Jeep brand, there are some cars — that because of the price position in the market — can never be made in the U.S. and exported,” Marchionne told reporters on the sidelines of the North American International Auto Show. “We’re going to be announcing the first step in the globalization of Jeep (in China). There’s another one that’s going to come in Russia. These things are part of a natural process of expansion.”Marchionne angrily criticized Presidential candidate Mitt Romney for running ads suggesting that Jeep was shifting American jobs to China.
“I feel obliged to unambiguously restate our position: Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China,” Marchionne wrote at the time. “Jeep assembly lines will remain in operation in the United States and will constitute the backbone of the brand. … It is inaccurate to suggest anything different.”
During yesterday’s press conference, Marchionne signaled that production of the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Grand Cherokee would remain in the United States, but vehicles like the Jeep Patriot might be produced in China.
No Quarter Will Be Given
Some are calling me crazy, dangerous, or worse, as a result of my recent posts [here and here]. Well, opinions be damned, for we are in need of the truth! What I have written since the new year is nothing new - I have been abundantly clear over the past two years about what we face. I am a Citizen Soldier of my Republic, and I know what duty demands of me. As part of that duty, I have been vigorously ringing the alarm bell for some time, in the hopes that we might turn the tide without violence, or at least that none of my fellow countrymen might be lost due to ignorance.
I have written before about what is coming, and what we must do. I have outlined the possible financial scenarios [collapse and/or intentional disruption] and I suggest that you read them both carefully, to understand what the full implications are – foreign wars, the Global Financial Collapse/federal insolvency, and the threat of Radical Islamists in our own country are real and growing – they are in fact being cultivated by those who require chaos to inflict fundamental transformation upon us. The timing is fluid, but the end results are plain to see. When everything breaks, there will be no safe place, as I have previously stated.

1967 Plymouth RO23 Belvedere 426 CI 544 HP
Competition in NHRA Super Stock racing was at a fever pitch by the mid-1960s. The factories continued to trade blows with ever more radical specials to meet the demands of their team drivers, and in 1967Plymouth upped the stakes, introducing a limited-production lightweight drag racing package for the Belvedere, the RO23. Fifty-five 2-door hardtops were built to meet the NHRA’s Super Stock/B class rules, all powered by the 426 CI Hemi backed by either a 4-speed manual transmission or a Torqueflite automatic, the latter fitted with the 8¾ rear axle housing with 4.86 final drive.
The cars were shipped sans sound deadener, radio,
heater and front sway bar; the hood wore a large fresh air scoop, thin
rubber mats replaced the standard carpeting and the battery was
relocated to the trunk behind the right rear wheel well to aid traction.
This RO23 Plymouth Belvedere lightweight from the Joe Amato Collection
is a splendid example with the correct and recently rebuilt 426 race
Hemi, equipped with dual 4-barrel carburetors and dyno- tuned to 544 HP
(the original factory 4-barrels have been restored and come with the
car). Finished in show-quality White paint over all-original sheet
metal, it wears evocative painted steel wheels with “cheater” slicks and
narrow rubber on American Torque Thrusts up front.
- RO23, 1 of 55 Plymouth Hemi race cars
- Recently rebuilt 426 CI Hemi dual quad engine
- 544 HP on the dyno test
- Original restored carbs come with the car
- Automatic transmission
- 8 3/4" rear axle
- Show quality paint over all steel metal

GRNC Alert 1-15-12 NC Anti-Gun Mayors Back Obama Gun Ban
You may have heard of rabidly anti-gun NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s organization, Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG). Make no
mistake, these tyrants are against YOUR guns, not “illegal” ones. As you may
recall, MAIG contains numerous criminals who are themselves barred by federal law from possessing firearms (see “Gun Owners Against Illegal Mayors”).
Whatever their rationale, North Carolina MAIG members have decided to jump on the Obama/Biden/Feinstein gun ban bandwagon. Morrisville Mayor Jackie Holcombe, Durham Mayor Bill Bell, and Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt have recently launched television ads supporting draconian bans on semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines. According to Kleinschmidt,
“Americans agree that now is the time for Washington to create a plan to address gun violence in America."The mayor fails to understand that “bans” don’t constitute “plans.” If these gun control extremists were really interested in reducing violence, they would push for the elimination of “Gun Free Zones” that have become the most dangerous places in our society. Instead they exploit another predictable mass-murder of defenseless students in another one of the “Gun Free School Zones” that their laws have created. This stance makes it perfectly clear that reduced violence isn’t their goal, increased control is.

Meese: Obama Risks Impeachment If He Uses Executive Order for Gun Control
Former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III declared in an exclusive Newsmax TV interview that President Barack Obama could easily be impeached if he bypassed Congress and enacted gun-control legislation by executive order.
Meese's comments came on the same day President Obama told the White House press corp at the last news conference of his first term that he was reviewing actions, including issuing executive orders, where he could take action without congressional approval to confront gun violence in the nation. Obama said he would present a plan within days.
The options include stronger background checks, a meaningful ban on assault weapons, and limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines, Obama said, conceding that was unsure how such steps could pass Congress.
“I’m confident there are some steps we can take that don’t require legislation and that are within my authority as president,” Obama said.
“It would not be legal. It would not be constitutional,” Meese, who served under President Ronald Reagan, tells Newsmax. “And, indeed, if he tried to override the Second Amendment in any way, I believe it would be an impeachable offense.”

COLLEGES TWIST U.S. HISTORY
Via NC Links
U.S. history courses at American colleges and universities downplay the nation's economic, military, and political history and dramatically overemphasize the role of race. So finds a new study by the Texas Association of Scholars (TAS) and Center for the Study of the Curriculum at the National Association of Scholars (NAS).

So finds a new study by the Texas Association of Scholars (TAS) and Center for the Study of the Curriculum at the National Association of Scholars (NAS).
The study
focused on the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M as
representative institutions because Texas law requires all students at
public universities to take a year of American history and for
universities to post course syllabi and faculty credentials online. The
researchers found that many important topics received scant attention
while more than half the faculty members focused on race, class, and
gender (RCG) in their courses. Among the topics that were often crowded
out were America's diplomatic, philosophical, religious, and scientific
history.

NC: Henderson teen tells 911 dispatcher: 'I just shot the man'
Via NC Links
"I
just shot the man. He came around the corner. I shot him. He broke the
whole glass out (of the back door)," the teen told the 911 dispatcher.
Authorities said Anthony Henderson Jr. 19, broke into the home at 586 S. Lynnbank Road on Thursday while the teen and his 17-year-old sister were home.
The boy told the dispatcher that Henderson pointed a handgun at him, but Vance County Sheriff Peter White said deputies found no weapon on Henderson.
Henderson stumbled outside after being shot and was found dead on the lawn.
Deputies have charged Andrew Terry, 23, of 113 N. Woods Drive, with felony breaking and entering, conspiracy to commit breaking and entering and injury to real property in the case. They also are searching for two other men – Seneca Henderson, 20, of 907 S. Beckford Drive, No. 134, and Jatwaun Davis, 21, of 199 Belle Russell Road.
