Romney attacks Non Us Citizen President
Romney courts gun owners and pivots to general election
St. Louis, Missouri (CNN) -- In his first major speech to conservatives since his Republican rival Rick Santorum quit the presidential race, Mitt Romney turned his sights on the general election and accused President Barack Obama of waging "an assault on our freedoms."
Romney addressed the Annual Meeting of the National Rifle Association, which drew more than 60,000 gun enthusiasts to St. Louis to inspect the latest in personal weaponry and feast on tough political attacks against the White House.
"This November, we face a defining decision," Romney told a large crowd on the floor inside Edward Jones Dome, the home of the St. Louis Rams.
"I am offering a real choice and a new beginning," he said. "I am running for president because I have the experience and the vision to lead us in a different direction. We know what Barack Obama's vision of America is. We've lived it this last 3½ years. Mine is very different."
While Second Amendment rights were on the agenda -- Romney praised NRA officials and promised to stand up for the rights of gun owners -- the likely Republican nominee entered the arena with larger ambitions.
One senior Romney aide called Friday's speech "the beginning of crystallizing for voters the choice that they are going to have in the fall" between Romney and "a big-government liberal."
Repeatedly invoking the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, Romney framed the 2012 election as a choice between his vision of limited government and the president's heavy-handed approach toward taxes and regulation.
He also accused Obama of impinging on religious liberty by requiring faith-based employers to provide contraception in their insurance plans.
"We've seen enough of President Obama over the last three years to know that we don't need another four," Romney said. "In a second term, he would be unrestrained by the demands of re-election."
The Obama campaign painted Romney as a hypocrite and highlighted the slow rate of Massachusetts job growth and fee increases under his leadership.
"This is the governing record we have to judge Mitt Romney on and it's one that he can neither rewrite nor erase," said Obama spokeswoman Lis Smith.
Romney advisers are hoping an economy-themed, anti-Obama message will appeal to both the swing voters who will be decisive in November, and a Republican base that has been slow to warm to Romney but remains scornful of the president.
By choosing to focus on a big picture vision of his administration, Romney was able to avoid a deep dive into gun issues, which have provided for some awkward moments during his political career.
During his 1994 Senate race, Romney said: "I don't line up with the NRA."
In his first presidential bid, he falsely claimed that he had been endorsed by the NRA and was later forced to backtrack.
Romney was roundly mocked in that race for claiming to be a lifelong hunter of "small varmints" like rabbits and rodents.
NRA members who watched the speech seemed not to care about Romney's record on guns, nor did they complain that he might not have been their first choice in the Republican race.
Romney checked the most important box: He is not Barack Obama.
"There is no other choice but Romney," said Jim Greger, 74, an Illinois retiree. "I would vote for Donald Duck before I'd vote for Obama."
Lillian Lamonato, 75, a Romney supporter from South Carolina, said winning in November is more important than ideological purity.
"He is conservative enough," she said of Romney. "He had to do what he had to do up there in Massachusetts. Nobody is perfect."
NRA President Wayne LaPierre revved up the crowd before the Romney speech and implored his group's 4 million members to get to work unseating Obama.
"We know if President Obama gets a second term, America as we know it will be on it's way to being lost forever," LaPierre said to lusty applause.
Other big name Republicans addressed the NRA meeting, including Santorum, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who continues to run for the GOP nomination despite long odds.
"This is still a more open nominating process than anyone in the elite media believes," Gingrich argued.

Dolton: Man killed in shootout with police
A man was killed in a shootout with police after they witnessed him shooting another man outside a nightclub in south suburban Dolton, a village spokeswoman said.
About 2:25 a.m., police heard gunfire and saw a man shoot another man several times, said Village Of Dolton spokeswoman TaQuoya Kennedy.
Police approached the gunshot victim and the gunman. The gunman fired shots at the police and ran a half block, Kennedy said. Police returned fire.
The gunman continued to run until he encountered back-up officers and gunfire was exchanged again. The suspect was struck by the gunfire, Kennedy said.
Both the victim and the gunman were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where the gunman was pronounced dead, Kennedy said.
The victim underwent surgery this morning, but his condition was not available.
Illinois State Police are investigating the shooting. State Police are routinely asked to conduct independent investigations of police-involved shootings by departments throughout the state.

Eleven bodies were buried in a south suburban cemetery today after police learned they had been left unattended in a chapel on the site for up to a week.
Dwayne Cook discovered the bodies in the chapel Wednesday while trying to visit the gravesite of a friend, Hershal Jordan, who had an internment ceremony at the cemetery earlier this week. Cook said cemetery employees guided him to where they said Jordan, who was to be buried through a state aid program, was laid to rest in an unmarked grave.
"When I got there, I said 'Something's fishy here,' " Cook said. "I just had a feeling. It didn't seem like a fresh grave." He let himself into the back room of the nearby chapel and found Jordan's casket and those of 10 other people scheduled for the state aid burials still inside.
"He didn't deserve this," Cook said. "All God's children don't deserve to be treated like animals."
Cemetery owner Tom Flynn said the back-up occurred because the cemetery fired its regular backhoe operator on April 6 and subsequently received a large number of indigent burials from Cook County.
Cook County Sheriff's Det. Jason Moran said the department is investigating the situation, as is the state Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which oversees cemeteries.

Evanston, Ill. - An Evanston couple is trying to recover after robbers forced their way into their home, tied them up with duct tape, and then stole their art.
The robbery happened at 8:40 on Friday morning in the 2200 block of Central Avenue. The victims said that the suspects appeared at the door, claiming to have a delivery. Once the husband opened the door, one of the robbers kicked him down.
The suspects knocked the woman to the ground, too, and duct taped their hands. Then they stole four paintings valued at $150,000 to $200,000. While the crooks were inside the home, another man was waiting in a white van in the back alley.
The husband said he thinks the robbers thought they'd hit the jackpot because last year he sold a valuable piece at auction. The opening bid for that painting, which he inherited from his dad in 1972, was $200,000.
The husband said he doesn't care about what was stolen, but he is concerned about his 68-year-old wife, who suffered a mild heart attack after the robbery.
Evanston police hope since the victims live on a busy street, someone saw something that will help the investigation.

Time to end the violence with violence
From The Sarge's heart
I am tired of hearing of this Zimmerman case it is getting old. A man tries to help a lady by trying to recover her purse and a mob of niggers jump on the good sam. how unfair is that Dr. King said judge not by the color of the skin but by the content of the carachtor. Lately the black community is getting tired of these nigger's running the streets shooting,raping,and robbying people. The City of Chicago and its elected officials in the great state of Illinois better start letting the police be cops and stop spending money on bull shit camera's and selling all the city's and state's revenue to other companies outside this state and country. If these fucks were smart they would pass concealed carry to generate new revenue, get back all the contracted revenue back and give small buisness a tax break and tell corperate America if you do not manufacture in Illinois or the U.S. or manufacture your product here in the U.S. and employ American's than no tax breaks for you. I am telling you I see it in the street and from talking to people the cops are going to have more to worry about if our government don't get on it. As to all you nigger's commiting crime you better hope the law catches you because if your community catches you " GRAB SOME ROPE WERE HAVEING OUR SELFS A HANGING " Good, Bad, and the Ugly. Or I can quote Tobby Kieth "
Grandpappy told my pappy
Back in my day, son
A man had to answer
For the wicked thing he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys
And hang 'em high in the street
For all the people to seeAnd justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back
At the local saloon
We'll raises up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
We got too many gangsters
Doing dirty deeds
Too much corruption
And crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law
Put a few more in the ground
So to all you law breaking animal's out there your time is comming your time to die is on the way we the lawabiding america are going to hunt you down and kill you and send you home in a pine box. Trayvon was a worthless piece of shit animal and was killed like one. George Zimmerman is going to get off and watch out cause there going to give him back his gun and when they do you animal's better run because when you back a good person in to a corner and leave him with no choice then your going to die because he is going home not you.
With that said I want to thank the United States Military, local,state,and federal lawmen, and firemen for laying it on the line.
I also want to thank my readers. Please feel free and leave comments on any thing you see.
