Woman who shot gunman dead in church did what came natural
Sunday, December 16, 2007
As always, the cover-up runs wild, the denial nearly airtight, the unprofessional, deceitful, anti-American misrepresentation securely locked in place by a media intent on its anti-U.S. Constitution, anti-freedom, anti-individualism agenda. When it comes to guns and God, we can rarely expect to read anything in the drive-by media of America and beyond even approaching how the vast majority of Americans feel, and in fact, know in our hearts to be right. So, the Yankee guitar player will cover Central Texas for ya'll. I know I stand with the best of the good folk, and I'm proud of it.

Jeanne Assam was one of approximately 7,000 worshippers at the New Hope Church in Colorado Springs last week. Christians were gathered to praise God and dedicate themselves to a spiritual upgrade to be better Americans and human beings. It is the basic premise of churchgoers everywhere in this unique land where freedom of religion is considered a "self-evident truth" and individual rights are bestowed upon us by our Creator. A weekly thank you to Him seems to be in order by those good souls who still think clearly and pursue a good, positive way of life.
But Jeanne, God bless her righteous soul, was packing two handguns this fine church day. She had never had the need to draw either one of her guns in the past, but as a thinking, caring American, she knew that rugged individualism and real world independency means being prepared. And prepared she was when the loud, shocking concussions of rifle shots rang out in the entrance way of the church. Her natural instincts of good over evil kicked into gear, and like millions of concealed weapons carriers across America, the pistols in her belt gave her pragmatic confidence that she could neutralize an apparent evil force in the House of God.
Racing toward gunshots
Jeanne didn't run scared, scream, cower or flee for her life. She knew that to do so was to give signals of helplessness and in fact, be helpless. Instead, she drew a gun and raced toward the approaching gunshots, just like I have written in so many of my writings over the years. When a human being gives serious, genuine thought to the incremental programming of sheepishness so thoroughly crammed down America's throats by a media infested with cowardly liberals, condemning individual rights and thinking, natural instincts dictate just the opposite response, and Jeanne was living proof.
And this dainty, svelte young woman couldn't possibly fit the profile so desperately attempted by the anti-gun nuts, for she has no macho baggage and no intentionally misrepresented NRA imagery to overcome. She is a woman, a human being, with the natural right to defend herself and innocents from evil, and she did what her heart told her to do.
Further irritating the mainstream media's hatred of Christianity, she credits God as her guiding light, protecting her from the high-powered rifle, two handguns and more than 1,000 rounds of ammo in the possession of the maniacal madman attacking her congregation. She courageously ran toward the danger and shot the bum dead. Next.
We like it when maniacal madman hellbent on slaughtering innocents are shot dead instead. And we like brave people who know that innocent lives need to be protected from madmen by shooting them dead with a gun on our person. We know that gun-free zones are irresponsible, dangerous, anti-human, anti-security and anti-American. We don't like politicians or people who pretend otherwise.
We don't think a madman who opens fire in malls, cafeterias, churches, schools or our neighborhoods has any rights whatsoever. We believe good should live, evil should be gotten rid of. And we know the difference between good and evil without some newspaper editor or bureaucrat telling us if we got it right or not. I wish there would always be a Jeanne Assam every 100 feet in America so the bad guys would get the real message from America — "Don't tread on me!" Threaten innocent lives and we will shoot you dead.
I'm sending Jeanne Assam an expensive Christmas present and a life membership in the NRA.
