Wild Bill of Redneck Central

It's with a sad heart that Wild Bill of Redneck Central has passed due to a staph infection. He had been having some medical problems for a while and left us on the 16th of February. I always enjoyed reading what Wild Bill had to say and it was a pleasure doing that although I never met him in real life. He had a way about him that made people want to see what he was going to post next and his blog was very interesting.

So Wild Bill rest in peace, we will miss you.

Gun Free Zones Don't Work

Gun free zones simply don't work. They only let people that are not going to abide by the gun free zone know that people there are not carrying a gun, thus allowing it to be a place for them to do whatever they want when they want. If a gun free zone were to be a true gun free zone, then after it was declared to be one a fence should be built around the facility and everyone that entered would go through a metal detector to see if they were carrying a gun. Until that happens, it's only a statement that a facility, school or place of business makes that does not make it a safe place. it's only a place that gives the impression of being safe when in fact it a place that individual protection is a fallacy. Anytime you enter one of these gun free zones, you at at the mercy of anyone that wants to do bodily harm to anyone there.

  BELLEVUE, Wash., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The tragic shooting
at Northern Illinois University late Thursday is another failure of the
"gun free zone" mentality that has created a false sense of security on
college campuses and other public venues across the country, the Citizens
Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.



 "Gun-free zones have given us nothing but body counts," said CCRKBA
Chairman Alan M. Gottlieb. "This giant loophole in public safety is
becoming a national disgrace and it is time to dramatically change our
perspective on self-defense in this country.



 "This incident is particularly distressing because it happened in
Illinois, one of two remaining states in which anti-gun state lawmakers and
equally-anti-gun governors have repeatedly thwarted common sense efforts to
put law-abiding citizens on a level playing field with criminals and
crazies by adopting right-to-carry laws," Gottlieb stated. "Illinois and
Wisconsin lawmakers have chosen to leave their citizens at the mercy of

You don't see news like this!

This is what the news should be putting in the headlines, but we don't see our MSM doing any articles like this!

John Gebhardt's wife, Mindy, said that this little girl's entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head...but they failed to kill her. She was cared for in John's hospital and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing. He is a real Star of the war, and represents what America is trying to do. This, my friends, is worth sharing with the WORLD! Go for it!! You'll never see things like this in the news. Please keep this going. Nothing will happen if you don't, but the American public needs to see pictures like this and needs to realize that what we're doing over there is making a difference. Even if it is just one little girl at a time.

Gun Free Zones are Recipe for Disaster

"If you create a gun-free zone, you're liable for any harm it causes."

From Here:

article by Ted Nugent about gun free zones.........

WACO, Texas (CNN) -- Zero tolerance, huh? Gun-free zones, huh? Try this on for size: Columbine gun-free zone, New York City pizza shop gun-free zone, Luby's Cafeteria gun-free zone, Amish school in Pennsylvania gun-free zone and now Virginia Tech gun-free zone.

Anybody see what the evil Brady Campaign and other anti-gun cults have created? I personally have zero tolerance for evil and denial. And America had best wake up real fast that the brain-dead celebration of unarmed helplessness will get you killed every time, and I've about had enough of it.

Nearly a decade ago, a Springfield, Oregon, high schooler, a hunter familiar with firearms, was able to bring an unfolding rampage to an abrupt end when he identified a gunman attempting to reload his .22-caliber rifle, made the tactical decision to make a move and tackled the shooter.

A few years back, an assistant principal at Pearl High School in Mississippi, which was a gun-free zone, retrieved his legally owned Colt .45 from his car and stopped a Columbine wannabe from continuing his massacre at another school after he had killed two and wounded more at Pearl.

At an eighth-grade school dance in Pennsylvania, a boy fatally shot a teacher and wounded two students before the owner of the dance hall brought the killing to a halt with his own gun.

More recently, just a few miles up the road from Virginia Tech, two law school students ran to fetch their legally owned firearm to stop a madman from slaughtering anybody and everybody he pleased. These brave, average, armed citizens neutralized him pronto.

My hero, Dr. Suzanne Gratia Hupp, was not allowed by Texas law to carry her handgun into Luby's Cafeteria that fateful day in 1991, when due to bureaucrat-forced unarmed helplessness she could do nothing to stop satanic George Hennard from killing 23 people and wounding more than 20 others before he shot himself. Hupp was unarmed for no other reason than denial-ridden "feel good" politics.

She has since led the charge for concealed weapon upgrade in Texas, where we can now stop evil. Yet, there are still the mindless puppets of the Brady Campaign and other anti-gun organizations insisting on continuing the gun-free zone insanity by which innocents are forced into unarmed helplessness. Shame on them. Shame on America. Shame on the anti-gunners all.

What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?

Here's some food for thought on illegal immigration.

Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament" -- 10/25/07.

She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...What Happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?" That's a good question - it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you!

In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.

In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids - would move back 'home', mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone. Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals. Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop-out/flunk-out rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English.

In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home', the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers. No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches. We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters! Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens! America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America's economy - which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt. At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders. Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases. Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, "colonias" or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America's new "Third World" inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico. We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation. It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life. Interesting Statistics. Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:

1. $11 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens. http://tinyurl.com/zob77

2. $2.2 billion dollars are spent each year on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

3. $2.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

5. $17 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

6. $3 Million Dollars PER DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

7. 30% percent of all federal prison inma tes are illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

8. $90 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html

9. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html

11. During the year 2005, there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from terrorist countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border. http://tinyurl.com/t9sht

12. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period. http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/publications.php?b=deportation

13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/ niht.htm

14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!" http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml

The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!!!

Carrying a Gun can provide self-defense

I have personally carried a concealed firearm all my life and never had to use it, but it sure made me feel comfortable several times.

From Here:

I can't help but wonder why any time anyone mentions carrying a gun, it's automatically a bad idea. The conversation came up recently when I asked if a kidnapped person had been carrying a gun.

It is still one of our constitutional rights, you know. It has been since the beginning of this country. Why is it such an immoral question to ask if she was armed?

Even though there are now limits to places you can carry a gun, carrying one, and knowing how to use one, is never a bad idea. I'm sure criminals would find others a little more difficult to rob or rape if that someone were armed.

According to the National Rifle Association, the U.S. Department of Justice found that 40 percent of felons chose not to commit at least some crimes for fear their victims were armed, while 34 percent admitted having been scared off or shot at by armed victims. It's verifiable proof - you don't even have to shoot it to lower crime rates - just having one lessens your chances of being assaulted.

The NRA also reported that states with right-to-carry laws "have lower violent crime rates on average: 22 percent lower total violent crime, 30 percent lower murder, 46 percent lower robbery and 12 percent lower aggravated assault."

This is why I think carrying a gun is a good idea, and I'm not just talking about women - the reason the argument originally occurred.

I'm not suggesting we "posse up" and ride into the sunset after all of the criminals in Georgia. I'm not even saying that if someone sticks a gun in your car window at a stoplight and asks for your wallet, you shouldn't give it to them.

I would, however, be damn sure they didn't make it out of sight with my wallet.

Carrying a gun doesn't mean we should all "Wild, Wild West"-it and duel out all of our problems.

But, we've got just as much right to own and carry a firearm as we do to print this newspaper. So, if I or anyone else wants to own or carry a gun, then that's our right.

If someone dies of a bullet wound from my gun, it will only be because I felt my life threatened with no other option. I like living, and I'm not looking to try the alternative anytime soon.

In the end we'll all be judged the same, and I'm sure He'll understand why I pulled the trigger.

A wise man told me recently that he'd rather be judged by 12, than carried by six. This has been my philosophy for as long as I can remember, I'd just never heard it spoken so well.

Rite Aid's Policy on Fallen Soldiers

Update: posted at bottom.....

I received this article through the "Patriot Guard Riders" on how Rite Aid thinks of our fallen soldiers in the war on terrorism. I have had some comments here that wasn't very well received and they apparently didn't read this first part where I had posted the article about the Mason family of which I am not a part of that family, but only posted what they had told us here.



Rite Aid Corporation policy concerning Fallen Soldier Cpl Christopher E. Mason - “is no different than someone’s house burning down”

(January 8, 2008) Cpl Chris Mason's mother told Rite Aid's policy concerning the lost of her son “is no different than someone’s house burning down” by Rite Aid Regional Human Resources Manager, while our oldset son still serving in Iraq.

The mother of Cpl Chris Mason (Pictured above placing her hand upon a photo of our son).

Cpl Christopher E. Mason, pictured above, killed in an Al Qaeda ambush 28 Nov 2006 while moving into position to support his fellow Paratroopers.

Freedom Is Not Free
My wife and I stand at our son's grave site 02-20-2007. Rite Aid management states “Is no different than someone’s house burning down.”

After several months of recovering from the death of our youngest son Chris, his mom returned to her position at Rite Aid, she had been working there as a Cashier for a little over seven years before Chris’s death .


Upon receiving her first pay check she noticed Rite Aid had not placed her back at the level of pay she was earning at the time of our son's death (Rite Aid was docking her pay .10 cents an hour). She spoke with management and they told her it would be fixed by Rite Aid's Human Resources Department.


Christmas Eve arrived and she chose to work the holiday so others could be home with their children. After she recieved her check for the pay period she discovered she had not been paid for working the holiday (overtime amounting to no more than 15.00 dollars). Turns out Rite Aid was docking her for leaving her position to recover from the lost of our son, and was told that no “Associate” working for Rite Aid is paid for for working on a holiday after they quit and then get rehired “no matter what the reason.” Apparently Rite Aid wrote off her seven years with the company prior to Chris's death in The War on Terrorism.

A few days passed and Chris's mom decided to contact Rite Aid's Regional Human Resources Manger (he is the one that stated Rite Aid's policy "No -Cashier- gets hoilday pay no matter what the reason”). She wanted to explain to him why she had to leave her job. She wanted to share with him that she could not get the image of her baby lying in the street, being shot and dying, needing her to help him and her not being there for him, out of her mind. She just wanted to explain, that is all she wanted to do, but she never stood a chance. He put her on the defense, forcing her to defend her position, it became a game for him. She tells me she is not sure of everything that he said because after the following statement she was so stressed she locked him out, but she cannot get this part out of her head, it wakes her up at night.

After the Human resourcs Manager snickered at her this is what Chris's mother said to him:

Chris’s mom: "Sir you are talking to the mother of a Fallen Soldier; my son was killed in the War on Terrorism"

Human Resources Manager replied: Rite Aid's policy is “That’s no different then someone’s house burning down”

Chris's mom quick her job at Rite Aid (Jan 10 2008) and is once again having a tough time with Chris' death, and she is not sleeping at night..... the Human resources Manager still has his position within Rite Aid. The CEO, Mary Sammons, was contacted by phone (Jan 11 2008) and email (Jan 8 2008) concerning Rite Aid's policy, but she gave no response.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I ask that you share it with others so they will know the policy of some companies in this country are the same as they were back during the Vietnam war, yes how some
people consider the lost of our Warriors in combat “no different than someone’s house burning down” is beyond my understanding.

“Strength and Honor”

Rite Aid has agreed to a donation of $10,000.00 dollars to the “Wounded Warriors Foundation” in the name of Cpl. Christopher Edward Mason…. They are issuing letters of apology to Chris’ mother, I (his Father), and his brother who is still serving in Iraq….. The Human Resources Manager that spoke the hateful comment about Chris’s death is now receiving the maximum disciplinary action allowed under Rite Aid’s guidelines.
