BLACK EYED PEAS

History of the Black Eyed Pea Tradition, A must read:
 
"The Real Story is much more interesting and has gone untold in fear that feelings would be hurt. 
It’s a story of war, the most brutal and bloody war, military might and power pushed upon civilians,
women, children and elderly.  Never seen as a war crime, this was the policy of the greatest nation
on earth trying to maintain that status at all costs.  An unhealed wound remains in the hearts of some
people of the southern states even today; on the other hand, the policy of slavery has been an open
wound that has also been slow to heal but is okay to talk about.            
The story of THE BLACK EYED PEA being considered good luck relates directly back to Sherman's Bloody
March to the Sea in late 1864.  It was called The Savannah Campaign and was lead by Major General
William T. Sherman.  The Civil War campaign began on 11/15/1864 when Sherman 's troops marched from
the captured city of Atlanta, Georgia, and ended at the port of Savannah on 12/22/1864.
When the smoke cleared, the southerners who had survived the onslaught came out of hiding.  They
found that the blue belly aggressors that had looted and stolen everything of value and everything you
could eat including all livestock, death and destruction were everywhere.  While in hiding, few had enough
to eat, and starvation was now upon the survivors.            
There was no international aid, no Red Cross meal trucks.  The Northern army had taken everything they
could carry and eaten everything they could eat.  But they couldn’t take it all. The devastated people of
the south found for some unknown reason that Sherman’s bloodthirsty troops had left silos full of black
eyed  peas.
At the time in the north, the lowly black eyed pea was only used to feed stock.  The northern troops saw
it as the thing of least value.  Taking grain for their horses and livestock and other crops to feed themselves,
they just couldn’t take everything.  So they left the black eyed peas in great quantities assuming it would be
of no use to the survivors, since all the livestock it could feed had either been taken or eaten.
Southerners awoke to face a new year in this devastation and were facing massive starvation if not for the
good luck of having the black eyed peas to eat.
From New Years Day 1866 forward, the tradition grew to eat black eyed peas on New Year’s Day for good luck."

GUN CONTROL

THIS IS ALL TRUE....BUT DON'T WORRY....THE GOVERNMENT HAS YOU COVERED.......BELIEVE IT!

Please take time to read this and pay particular attention to"A Little Gun History" about half way down.
Why Grandpa carries a gun, scroll way down, PEOPLE ASK WHY?
Why Carry a Gun?

My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life when
he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and
usually it's when he becomes too old to take a whoopin.'

I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I hate t he government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate...

I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the
crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take
an "ass" whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

**********************************************
A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

-----------------------------

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT'S A NO BRAINER!
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!
If you are too, please forward

Brent Bozell Brent Bozell: Profanity and Pop Music Profanity and pop music go hand in hand these days.
Michael Barone Michael Barone: Voters Want Growth, Not Income Redistribution If you want redistribution, you'd better first produce growth.
Jonah Goldberg Jonah Goldberg: 2011: You Can't Win For Losing You'll recall that 2011 began with the oafish actor celebrating his own narcotic and sexual crapulence like a victorious gladiator working the crowds. He was egged on by a media with as much decency as the cons on the top tiers of the prison who chant "fresh fish" as the new inmates walk into general pop, their eyes stinging from delousing powder.
David Limbaugh David Limbaugh: Blind to their Liberal Biases I think it's very difficult for any of us to be objective about any subject, especially something we care deeply about, but my objective observation is that liberals tend to be less aware of and less willing to admit their biases.
John Ransom John Ransom: Mr. Crony Went to Congress: Subpoena Soros, Buffett, et al. Let’s face it: Obama doesn’t have supporters, he has investors. He’s probably the first president of the United States who needs an investor relations department. But Rezko, Soros, Buffett, Kaiser, Immelt, Corzine, Abelow and the rest of the crew aren’t just investors, they’re also Obama’s known associates, capos in the ponzi scheme that now passes for progressive government.
Mona Charen Mona Charen: The Wrong Kind of Minority The Washington Post proclaimed in a recent headline another historic "first" for the United States -- the first female usher-in-chief at the White House. Stop the presses!
Hugh Hewitt Hugh Hewitt: Game Change, Again Mike Allen and Evan Thomas have written a wildly interesting, very compact eBook that perhaps got lost in the run-up to Christmas. If you like politics, you will love The Right Fights Back.
Kevin Glass Kevin Glass: The RINO Guide to the GOP Primaries Do you call yourself a conservative but consider yourself to be centrist-curious? Looking for a little help on how your heresies from true conservatism fit in with the crop of mediocre GOP candidates? Well, fear no longer!
Oliver North Oliver North: 2012: A Tumultuous Year To Come A year ago, this column questioned whether the 112th Congress -- with its new speaker of the House, John Boehner -- could "overcome the inane policies of its predecessors" and "mend Washington's free-spending ways." We all know how that turned out.
Pat Buchanan Pat Buchanan: Is America Losing Control "Events are in the saddle and ride mankind." In describing 2011, few cliches seem more appropriate.
Suzanne Fields Suzanne Fields: The Social Medium, Not The Message This is the week that pits the old fogies against the rising generations in determining "what's in" for 2012 and "what's out" for 2011. Fashion and political opinions have traditionally made for a showdown at Generation Gap, but now, as we move into a new year, there's a communication gap, too. It's as much about process as substance in how we see the future.
Fred Wszolek Fred Wszolek: Recess Appointments To NLRB Tantamount To Declaration Of War Against Employers While President Obama is taking a break in Hawaii, the conversation in Washington, D.C. has not stopped regarding his National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Linda Chavez Linda Chavez: Coulter's Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has some advice for GOP presidential hopefuls: Hang tough on illegal immigration. Coulter sees illegal immigration as one of the two signature issues of the Republican presidential campaign (the other being repeal of Obamacare).
Jeff  Carter Jeff Carter: Isolationism, Protectionism Lead to War Protectionism and isolationism lead to war. All government programs treat you as if you are a random number variable in an endless chain. Bad fiscal policy, as the US has had, leads to desperation, which leads to class warfare. This is not about the have and have nots. It’s about making the pie larger.
Bob Beauprez Bob Beauprez: Survey: Docs No Fan of ObamaCare Only 27 percent of physicians believe ObamaCare will reduce healthcare costs, and half of the doctors believe access to healthcare will decrease due to hospital closures resulting from the new law.
Mike Shedlock Mike Shedlock: Race Baiting and Ron Paul When it comes to Ron Paul, many people pretend, with great indignation, that words not even said speak louder than actions.
Matt Mackowiak Matt Mackowiak: The Political Winners of 2011 The intensity of the news cycle has produced more news coverage but less analysis of trends. Fortunately, the end of the calendar year provides both a calm period of time and the necessary reflective mood to enable one to take stock of what occurred over the past year.
Cliff May Cliff May: Iran and Al-Qaeda Late last week, the State Department announced a $10 million reward for information leading to the capture of Ezedin Abdel Aziz Khalil, A.K.A. Yasin al-Suri – Yasin the Syrian. Serious students of terrorism and counterterrorism saw this as big news for two reasons.
Crystal Wright Crystal Wright: Is Newt Gingrich Running for POTUS or Working at the Chocolate Factory? Newt Gingrich needs to stop his parade of excuses for failing to qualify to get his name on Virginia’s GOP presidential ballot. “I think it’s more like Lucille Ball at the chocolate factory. You’ve got to get it organized,” quipped Romney about Gingrich’s Virginia fiasco.
Floyd and Mary Beth Brown Floyd and Mary Beth Brown: Safety Belts Please: 2012 Is Going To Be Rough The first of every year, we encourage you to look around, set some goals and live intentionally. As a family we meet together early in the year, devour some quality Chinese Food and set our goals for the year.
Diana West Diana West: Is Russia Covering Up Real Cause Of Plane Crash? 'Tis the season for media list-mania, and (true confession) I always am mildly surprised upon viewing Top 10 story lists to find that I've forgotten some humdingers. Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011?
AWR Hawkins AWR Hawkins: Watching For Perry, Pulling For Palin As I sat with my extended family on Christmas, we discussed how beatable Barack Obama is. And as I listened to them run through the litany of reasons why this is so, I could only say again: “If the Republicans nominate a true conservative for president, Barack Obama is done.”
Jerry Bowyer Jerry Bowyer: Christ vs. Caesar on Wall Street When Rome fell and barbarian hordes raped and murdered their way across the dark ages, civilization was rebuilt on the Christmas story.
Crista Huff Crista Huff: A Portfolio of Companies Tied to Obama I won't Invest In These are companies which have become intimately tied to American government; either run by our government or in bed with our government. And what do they call it when governments and corporations work hand in hand to control wealth and power, and pick winners and losers? They call that fascism.
Daniel J. Mitchell Daniel J. Mitchell: What’s Worse, Being Endorsed by a Racist or a Communist? Not surprisingly, other GOP presidential campaigns would like voters to disqualify Paul on the basis of unsavory associations, and I certainly agree that Paul showed very bad judgment.
Gary Shapiro Gary Shapiro: Our Government is Failing Us Americans agree – our federal government is not doing right by us. The Executive Branch seems out of control.
John  Browne John Browne: 2012 Offers Few Reasons for Optimism Politicians and bankers moved mountains to make this spending possible. Endless unemployment benefits, payroll tax holidays, and the lowest mortgage rates in history have allowed Americans to keep spending even as their economic outlook deteriorates.
Lincoln Brown Lincoln Brown: Gutless and Heartless is No Way to Run the GOP Boehner should have known that by standing his ground, the Republicans would get skewered for being heartless. And he had to have known that by caving, the Republicans would get skewered for being gutless. And wonder of wonders, both happened!
Tim Gilmore Tim Gilmore: Most Ridiculous Lawsuit of 2011 Announced The U.S. has been the undisputed lawsuit capital of the world for some time. And while the courts play a central role in resolving disputes and maintaining a civil society, that function isn’t easy when they are packed with frivolous suits.
Ann Coulter Ann Coulter: Only One Candidate Is Right on The Two Most Important Issues In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently.
Thomas Sowell Thomas Sowell: Republican Voters' Choices No one seems to be really happy with this year's field of Republican candidates for that party's presidential nomination -- except perhaps the Democrats.
