The same people who warn about "global warming," also support nationalized health care and oppose gun rights. These people tend to grativate toward academia, the media, and far-left political organizations. Ultimately, their goal is not to improve the quality of life, but rather to control peoples' actions. Consistent with the fascist movement of the 1940's, theses phoney do-gooders use propaganda to dupe unsuspecting Americans out of their money and their freedoms.

The "global warming" scam began to unfold when historical weather records proved that temperatures have been cooling over the past few years. It has also been shown that global temperatures have been known to rise and fall throughout the earth's history. These facts did nothing to discourage the "global warming" movement, however. More recently, it was discovered that prominent American and British climate researchers deliberately withheld data disputing "global warming." Despite all of this, the "global warming" agenda continues including new regulations introduced by the EPA.

The health care bill is another example. Nationalized health care around the world consistently demonstrates high taxes, rationing of care, old technology, and long waiting periods. In some countries, like Cuba, the experience is quite literally horrific and should be condemned by human rights advocates. (Reference Hannity & Colmes video part 1, H&C video part 2, and The Real Cuba.com). The American health care bill, currently in deliberation, will cut Medicare spending by an estimated $43 billion. The savings will not go back to the American people, but will be diverted to other government projects unless Congress specifically prohibits that from happening. As of today, there has been no effort to prevent the diversion of Medicare cuts. Despite all of this and despite objections by the American people, Congress and President Obama appear ready to pass the bill.

The propaganda continues when it comes to gun rights. Over 2.5 million times per year (approximately 6,849 times per day) a firearm is used to ward off an attack. Many times, the criminal flees upon merely seeing the firearm, in effect preventing crime. There are approximately 80 million gun owners in the United States. That's a little over 25% of the total population. Forty-eight of fifty states allows some form of concealed carry. Contrary to anti-gun propaganda, we are not living in the wild west, nor do we shoot each other over parking spaces. In fact, cities and states with the highest crime are the same geographic areas with the most restrictive gun laws.

To illustrate this point, educators continue to ban guns on college campuses despite the fact that criminals ignore the ban. The gun free zone concept jeopardizes the safety of law-abiding students nationwide by rendering them helpless in the event of a self-defense emergency.

One need look no further than local police and the military. They all carry firearms because of the indisputable proof that guns save lives. Firearms may well be the best form of personal defense across the board.

Ultimately, if the far-left political machine is successful with their phoney "global warming" legislation and nationalized health care, it will only be a matter of time before the war on guns kicks into high gear again. Be vigilant. Be ready to act. Educate those who don't yet understand. We can win if we act accordingly.
