Gold, Crock Pots and Guns

GUEST POST by Darr Moon (Custer County, Idaho) — 

Plunging gold prices and the debate today in Congress about renewed assaults on the 2nd Amendment make good fodder for the politically naïve. All this intrigue against a backdrop of certain terrorism in the streets of Boston makes me wonder when the call to turn in your guns, gold and crock pots will be coming from the White House. The plea will certainly be framed for the sake of national security. Look elsewhere to store your dwindling wealth and protect yourself from the hungry throngs and be sure to lock away your pressure cooker before putting away peaches this coming canning season. Oh I know it sounds absolutely incredible but doesn't everything these days.

Why is it that you can't buy 22 caliber bullets today? And why is it that conceal-carry permits are rising astronomically? Could it be that Americans are afraid of their neighbors, the street gangs that roam L.A. or could it be that Americans no longer trust government to uphold their Constitutional civil and property rights? You would think those stoic Congressmen who lashed their fate to the conservative movement of the common man would now rise and stand to defend their constituents with all vigor. At least that's what it sounded like when they asked us to vote for them. But today those purveyors of the public trust, beholden to the Constitution and all that stuff are but mere stooges to the master of the big white house down the avenue.

Allow me to introduce sixteen Republican Senators who turned their backs on your gun rights last week by not supporting Senator Paul's filibuster against bringing Senator Harry Reid's gun control bills to the floor.

  • Lamar Alexander (R-TN) —— Lamar, you've got some splaining to do
  • Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) —— Not one Ayotte of sense
  • Richard Burr (R-NC) —— Burr under my saddle!
  • Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) —— Saxby you've been a bad boy!
  • Tom Coburn (R-OK) —— What!!!!
  • Susan Collins (R-ME) —— Figures.
  • Bob Corker (R-TN) —— Corked again!
  • Jeff Flake (R-AZ) —— Flakey as usual!
  • Lindsey Graham (R-SC) —— Shame on you South Carolina!
  • Dean Heller (R-NV) —— Heller High Water!
  • John Hoeven (R-ND) —— Ho even heard of such crap!
  • Johnny Isakson (R-GA) —— Johnny's on the spot!
  • Mark Kirk (R-IL) —— Not Captain Kirk
  • John McCain (R-AZ) —— Some Maverick you turned out to be!
  • Pat Toomey (R-PA) —— You can always play that Toomey
  • Roger Wicker (R-MS) —— Wicker or Wickeder

Could this be why Americans feel insecure these days? Wouldn't have anything to do with the Dept. of Homeland Security buying billions for rounds of ammunition would it? Who are those bullets for? Drug dealers across the border in a new twist of fast and pretty damn furious, I don't think so. How about those 2,500 armored fighting vehicles? Not sure yet why there are no bullets in town for sale?


Just so that you'll keep your full faith in the credit of the United States and Federal Reserve the Central Bank have a plan. Short the gold markets so the yellow metal will look a poor storehouse of wealth. Besides, all that gold is just being horded away by those goofy survivalist types. Who would ever accept gold as money!?! Nothing like a strong dollar and robust economy to make you dig up and sell all those gold and silver bars recently buried in your back yard. Shocking isn't it, or is it? Read THIS!

So please don't make me sound ridiculous when I tell you to hide your crock pots and pressure cookers. Peaches will be at a premium this fall.
