David Gregory walks free while Iraq vet was jailed ….

It’s been more than a week since police in Washington, D.C., opened an investigation into NBC’s David Gregory’s possession of a “high-capacity magazine” that’s prohibited in the District on on national TV. Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier’s spokesman refused Monday to respond to whether Mr. Gregory had even been interviewed yet. This is a rather curious departure for a city that has been ruthless in enforcing this particular firearms statute against law-abiding citizens who made an honest mistake.
In July, The Washington Times highlighted the plight of former Army Spc. Adam Meckler, who was arrested and jailed for having a few long-forgotten rounds of ordinary ammunition — but no gun — in his backpack in Washington.

» County Sheriffs Can Block Federal Gun Control

….the county sheriff is the highest governmental authority in his county and he does not have to bow to the tyranny of the federal government if he deems such actions to be unconstitutional or unlawful. In essence, the county sheriff has more legal authority within his county than the governor or the state or even the president of the United States.

Whether your sheriff will honor and uphold the constitution or side with the wanna-be slave owners of the dhimmicrat party depends on you. While sheriffs who understand the constitution may serve to protect your right to keep and bear, the others will be the ones knocking on your door with warrants and wheel barrows to cart off your guns.

» Gun Rights Advocates: ‘There Will Be Resistance’ to Gun Control

“President Obama was absolutely correct when he told NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ Sunday that ‘there will be resistance’ to his extremist proposal to ban the most commonly-owned and popular rifles in America,”

….
Obama, on Sunday, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” host David Gregory that one of his priorities in 2013 is to take on the gun control issue by meeting with both Democrats and Republicans, although he said he would put forward a “very specific proposal” based on the recommendations of Vice President Joe Biden’s gun control task force, which Obama announced on Dec. 19.

“I think anybody who was up in Newtown who talked to the parents, who talked to the families understands that something fundamental in America has to change,” Obama told Gregory.

The sound of the words ‘fundamental’, ‘change’ and ‘America’ – in one (THHO)Obama sentence – can be drowned out by the sound of millions of cocking guns.

“The guns that President Obama and Capitol Hill gun grabbers don’t want the people to have, …. are the ones people are buying by the bushel.
….
Noting Obama’s stated intentions to meet with “stakeholders” to discuss prospective gun measures, Gottlieb said, “We will wait patiently for our telephone to ring with a White House invitation to participate. We won’t hold our breath, and we will not be rushing to quick agreement on any proposal while Fast and Furious guns are still being used to kill innocent people.”

“Before asking Congress to ban our firearms,” Gottlieb added, “President Obama should order his Justice Department to get back all the guns his administration allowed to be walked into Mexico under Operation Fast and Furious.

“Guns linked to Fast and Furious have accounted for more than 200 deaths in Mexico and the United States, including Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. While the nation mourns for the innocent children and heroic teachers and administrators at Sandy Hook Elementary, the Obama administration should not be penalizing America’s law-abiding gun owners when it has yet to answer for the incredible irresponsibility of its own agency,” Gottlieb concluded.

» Uproar Over Bloated Sandy Aid Package

Leaders from New Jersey and New York blew up yesterday after House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) postponed a vote on an aid package related to Hurricane Sandy. But the bill is so loaded with pork projects that these officials should consider directing their anger at the Obama Administration, which is hijacking the aid meant for their constituents.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie “in an angry news conference decried the ‘selfishness and duplicity,’ the ‘palace intrigue,’ ‘the callous indifference to the people of our state,’” ABC News reported.
Representative Peter King (R-NY) accused Boehner of “plunging ‘a cruel knife in the back’ of storm-ravaged residents ‘who don’t have shelter, don’t have food.’”

To simplify the argument let’s put aside the fact that congress has no constitutional authority to provide any kind of aid to any kind victims of any kind of disaster.
Now, given that the bill is (as usual) yet another act of kindness that has been bloated and porked with dozens of unrelated expenditures and give-aways and welfare freebies, Christie and King both should have been mad at the bozos that attached all that crap to it. They should be insisting on a redo.
But instead, they’re mad at Boehner and other Republicans for doing what they’re supposed to do.

That makes me wonder …. does Christie and King not know what’s in the bill? Are they insisting on passage of a bill they haven’t read? Or worse, are they trying to force passage of an extremely bad bill just because it contains something for them?
For whatever reason, Christie and King are wrong and need a public spanking.

There’s (not so) good news and (really) bad news.
» 2013: Welcome to Very, Very Scary Times

The reelection of Barack Obama has released a surge of rare honesty among the Left about its intentions, coupled with a sense of triumphalism that the country is now on board for still greater redistributionist change.
There is no historical appreciation among the new progressive technocracy that central state planning, whether the toxic communist brand or supposedly benevolent socialism, has only left millions of corpses in its wake, or abject poverty and misery. Add up the Soviet Union and Mao’s China and the sum is 80 million murdered or starved to death. Add up North Korea, Cuba, and the former Eastern Europe, and the tally is egalitarian poverty and hopelessness. The EU sacrificed democratic institutions for coerced utopianism and still failed, leaving its Mediterranean shore bankrupt and despondent.

Nor is there much philosophical worry that giving people massive subsidies destroys individualism, the work ethic, and the personal sense of accomplishment. There is rarely worry expressed that a profligate nation that borrows from others abroad and those not born has no moral compass. There is scant political appreciation that the materialist Marxist argument — that justice is found only through making sure that everyone has the same slice of stuff from the zero-sum pie — was supposed to end up on the ash heap of history.
….
Note the new ease with which the liberal mind calls for trashing the Constitution, outlawing those whom they don’t like …., and killing those politicians with whom they don’t agree ….

In da Room, the Multi-Million Dollar Gore-illa …. not gonna ignore it.

If you needed a poster-boy for leftism you couldn’t go wrong with Al Gore. He personifies the greed, hypocrisy and hatred of America that steers the actions of liberalism.

» Gore Turned Down Glenn Beck for Qatar

Glenn Beck–who approached Current TV about a sale last year–was too right-wing for the network to even consider his offer. But an authoritarian-Islamist government that has criminalized homosexuality, discriminates against non-Muslims, prosecutes journalists, and has a “Not Free” rating from Freedom House? That was fine ….

The leftists turned down the Beck offer on principle. They have principles and they stand by their principles …. Fact One.

» Unholy Alliance Comes Out of the Shadows and Into Your Living Room

…. confirmed the charges that conservatives have made against the Left for years, and that Leftists, when they have deigned to acknowledge them at all, have dismissed as baseless slanders: above all, that the Left hates America and traditional American values so much that it will sooner ally with the sworn enemies of this nation and its guiding principles than with any group that is dedicated in any way to preserving and protecting them.

» Gore Turned Down U.S. Offer for Current TV In Favor of Despotic, Misogynistic, Anti-Gay, Anti-Semitic Slave State

“[W]e are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view?”

Qatar, where Al Jazeera is headquartered, therefore appears to align with Al Gore’s point of view. It, according to human rights watchers:

• Tolerates slavery: “…expatriate workers from nations throughout Asia and parts of Africa are routinely subjected to forced labor and, in some instances, prostitution…”

• Promotes human-trafficking: “…men and women who are lured into Qatar by promises of high wages are often forced into underpaid labor…”

• Severely punishes LGBT relationships: “…[Qatar] tend[s] to view homosexuality and cross-dressing negatively [and sex] between consenting [gay] adults in Qatar is illegal, and subject to a sentence of up to five years in prison…”

• Allows no open practice of religions other than Islam: “The government uses Sunni law as the basis of its criminal and civil regulations. However, …[f]oreign workers, and tourists, are free to affiliate with other faiths… as long as they are discrete and do not offend public order or morality.”

Again, the principles. Standing on their principles, leftists can and will ignore the fact that the millions of dollars passed to Gore and company came from the sales of oil. That global-warming catalyst, oil … the very root of the evil that strands polar bears on floating pieces of shattered glaciers; oil …. the stuff responsible for the rise of the oceans and broiling deaths of millions of humans (by the year 2012); oil …. the only useful thing that ever came out of Qatar; oil made the sponsors of terrorism filthy rich. Ultimately, it is the use of oil that has made Al Gore rich.

Standing on their principles, leftists can and will forgive Gore and his jihadi beneficiaries for their contributions to the deaths and slavery of ALL the classes of humans they claim to ally.

Standing on their principles, leftists can and will fail to mention or consider the fact that Gore made ulti-dang sure he got his money before the point at which he would have to surrender his “fair share” as a 1%er.

All that principle-standing seems illogically contradictory … unless you know and understand that leftist principles have absolutely nothing to do with any of the grand philosophical do-goody bullshit that they advertise. Tracing the progressive red-brick road you’ll pass straight through Feminismville, left at Gay Rights Town, another left at Greenieboro, take the bridge right over Black City and dead end (with no cul-de-sac) in a world without America.

» Egyptian Magazine Confirms Muslim Agents Influence Obama Administration

Last June, five Republican members of Congress raised the mainstream media’s hackles and alarmed the Left by sending a letter to Homeland Security and heads of other agencies raising questions about infiltration of the Obama Administration by the Muslim Brotherhood …. That letter was met with manufactured outrage and spin from the Left and RINOs in Congress, such as Sen. John McCain

….
the U.S. is the Muslim Brotherhood’s sugar daddy, but Muslim agents have apparently done a good job of leading the Administration astray. The Muslim Brotherhood has no friends, only fools it uses until they’re bled dry.

The leftists will chuckle and snort at the absurdity of these claims, of course. After all, it’s not like Obama has stocked his cabinets with muzzies ….

» Believe President Obama on Immigration: He Will Not Enforce Most Laws Even After an Amnesty

to sweeten the bitter pill that Congress and the president will try to get the American public to swallow, amnesty and immigration increases will be packaged with new laws that are supposed to prevent the next wave of prospective illegal aliens from entering, living and working in the U.S.

There can be little doubt, however, that these new enforcement provisions will be utterly meaningless. President Obama has already made it clear in a thousand different ways that he will not carry them out. And Congress, including the Republican majority in the House, has already made it clear that they don’t care if the president neglects his constitutional obligation to enforce the laws they write and pass.

….
Under the rubric of setting priorities, the Obama administration has essentially nullified broad sections of the immigration code by simply refusing to enforce laws against broad classes of immigration lawbreakers. In 2012, President Obama went even one step further, asserting executive authority to implement key provisions of the DREAM Act amnesty – a bill he supported – even though Congress had rejected it just 18 months earlier.

» Suppressing Zero Dark Thirty

Once word got out earlier last year that the Obama administration had granted the filmmakers access to classified information about the military operation, and that the film would be released just prior to the presidential election, conservatives cried foul and worried that the movie would exaggerate Obama’s role and serve essentially as an extended campaign ad for him. This concern was understandable considering that Hollywood was already doing everything in its power, onscreen and off, to reelect their Messiah. The left in turn dismissed these complaints as Republican paranoia.

….
a film that the left smugly assumed would bolster Obama’s hagiography is actually empowering the right on Bush’s legacy and the issue of enhanced interrogation – and the party of censorship is once again pulling out all the stops to intimidate and suppress.

His vital signs are described as being “very weak” and sources say doctors could decide to switch off the machines at any moment.

News that Fidel Castro is at Chavez’s side reportedly caused actor Sean Penn to fly into a rage at a Beverly Hills restaurant. Both Castro and Penn are known to be very close to the socialist strong man, prompting rumors of a bitter jealousy between the two.

» Illinois Cops Banned From Denny’s

A manager approached their table and told one of the detectives that she had to take her weapon out to her car or leave the restaurant. …. (The manager) stated that he had a complaint from another customer about the weapon ….

…. spokesman said it was a case of miscommunication. They said the manager was trying to do the right thing after a diner had complained.
Denny’s said they regret any misunderstanding.

If a Denny’s employee insulted a customer with a racial slur, or a misogynist attitude or a gay joke or a less-than-trusting air towards a muslim – that employee would probably be fired or, at least, sent to Politically Correct, Diversity, MultiCultural Indoctrination camp.

But treating gun-toting citizens like animals is not a real problem …. and be assured, if a Denny’s employee can make a mistake of this magnitude with plain-clothes police there is an underlying bias against anyone who has assumed the responsibility of self-protection. The message is clear, if you’re willing to stand up for yourself you are not welcome at Denny’s.

So an apology by Denny’s to police is not good enough for me to say “Oh well, no harm no foul … let’s go eat”.

Then again, it could be just a case of one stupid manager. If so, then how long will that stupid manager spend in Constitution101 class?

» The Constitutional Right to an Obamaphone

Treating the right to self-defense as an entitlement, rather than a freedom, they try to equalize it. Since not everyone has a gun and everyone has an entitlement to self-defense, some way must be found to make that entitlement equal to everyone, including non-gun owners and people who are afraid of loud noises. And the only way to do that is to take away their guns and give them cell phones with a direct line to the police who will arrive in time to mark off the crime scene and draw the chalk outlines.

This is stupid, but it’s scary stupid, because in a decade, Obama’s justices will be making a variation of the same argument, reducing the 2nd Amendment to a self-defense entitlement and then striving to make everyone equal, by race, gender and sexual orientation in the entitlement to self-defense.

» Power To the People

If you assume that rights belong to the group, rather than the individual, then predialed cell phones are a better solution than guns. Just push 1 if you’re being murdered, 2 if you’re being raped, 3 if your house is being set on fire and 4 if you just realized that your health plan doesn’t provide abortion coverage on all major legal holidays and 5 if your next door neighbor is having a Jodie Foster movie marathon at ear-splitting volume at two in the morning.

The police may not get there in time, but they will get there to government specifications and will take action in line with municipal, state and federal policies that are formed in deference to group rights. With 911, the policy hand is strong with the government. With the 2nd Amendment, the balance of power is with the homeowner watching a shadow moving up his staircase.

….
A gun is an individual thing. It’s hard for a group to own a gun. You can give Team Gay, Team Union or Team Korean Men in Wheelchairs a cell phone link to a central network of law enforcement support services, but a gun is a thing that an individual buys and learns to use. It is not a network, but an object, its power does not come from pushbutton access to a plea for government aid, but from the skill and courage of the individual. Gun power is merit based.

» Illinois is attempting to ban and confiscate all firearms

Illinois Senate President John Cullerton will reportedly introduce a draconian bill today in the Illinois legislature that will effectively ban all modern firearms, criminalize their owners, and subject their guns to confiscation by the Illinois State Police.
…. The move coincides with a federal effort by Senator Dianne Feinstein to introduce legislation outlawing semiautomatic firearms and imposing de facto confiscation.
…. Folks monitoring the effort to disembowel the Second Amendment in the Land of Lincoln say the bill has a 50-50 chance of passage. They advise gun owners both in and out-of-state to call Senate President Cullerton at 217-782-2000 and contact state representatives at ilga.gov.

Not all of the amendments under the Bill of Rights are limitations only on the federal government. The 10th is interpreted as saying that if a (power) is not specifically delegated to the fed, then it is a (power) of the state. The 2nd amendment makes no mention of who shall not infringe, it simply says “shall not be infringed”. By not specifying who shall not infringe it clearly means no one shall. Therefore no power to infringe exists- neither for the fed nor the state.
It is not a matter of who may constitutionally infringe, for no one may.

The very act of submission to laws like this is a forfeiture of all rights. What I mean by that is this: if you allow your elected servants to violate one part of your constitution you have in effect nullified any objection to their violation of any other part. Therefore, if your right to keep and bear has been infringed by your inaction, your right to free speech is also gone – or in other words, don’t whine while handing over your gun. Or in other, other words if you don’t have the fortitude to use your guns to keep your guns then turn them in, go home and wait quietly for further orders from your masters.

» Harry Reid Prepares to Annihilate Second Amendment

On Election Day last November, several Democrat Senators were campaigning for reelection in pro-gun states. And in order to get their constituents’ votes, they promised fealty to the Second Amendment.

Well, on November 6, Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV), Bob Casey (PA) and Jon Tester (MT) all won their respective elections. These seats, among others, were crucial to helping Harry Reid return to the top post in the Senate.

But only a month after the election returns were tallied, the Senate — under Majority Leader Harry Reid’s control — is now crusading to implement:

* Gun bans on semiautomatic firearms and magazines;
* An effective ban on gun shows;
* A ban on private gun sales, without going through a gun dealer; and,
* Changes in the Senate rules which would allow them to ban guns with a mere 50 Senate votes.

….
This is a major vote that will have huge ramifications for our republic. Our gun rights are just one of the many freedoms that are on the chopping block right now. And if Harry Reid can squelch his opposition by nuking the filibuster, it will be the first step towards completely obliterating our Constitution.

ACTION: Contact your Senators and tell them that the vote on the “nuclear option” will be the most important gun control vote of the 113th Congress. Urge them to vote AGAINST changing the Senate rules. Tell them to vote AGAINST the “nuclear option.”

This is the heart of judicial activism. A law-trained elite believes they can create a better country than the Constitution does, one that embodies liberal priorities and makes the big decisions for ordinary people. They consider you too dim-witted to make your own decisions and need wise people (meaning them) to tell you how to live, what you can say, whether you can own a gun, what business you can make a living in, how you will raise your kids, and how you will spend your money. (For example, Obamacare’s individual mandate to buy health insurance.) They don’t trust the people.

….
It is the Constitution that protects homeowners from government taking away their property, protects churches from having government decree who their leaders will be, protects you from being disarmed by the government, or having government track your movements every day on a whim.
Justice Samuel Alito gave a speech last year mentioning that the Obama administration argued in court it had the power to do many of these things. Only the Constitution stands in the way of President Barack Obama and an ultra-left agenda. And so progressives like Seidman say the solution is to torch the Constitution, clearing the way for authoritarian rulers to do with you whatever they think best for the “greater good.”

If the premise of your question is that people are going to resist a tyrannical government by shooting machine guns at American troops, that’s insane,” he said.

Reality is not visible from Congressman Nadler’s back porch.
Under the reign of a tyrannical government that sends troops against the American people, the troops that answer that call will most certainly be shot at – mostly by the troops that remember their true oath.

» What you’ll see in the rebellion

Let me explain, gun grabbers, how your confiscatory fantasy plays out. Let us imagine for a moment that a sweeping gun control bill similar to the one currently suggested is passed by the House and Senate, and signed into law by a contemptuous President.

It is now almost pointless to argue the unconstitutionality of the goals and agenda of the Left. The Left has just about totally abandoned all pretense of having any respect for the document, much less any use for it.
Consider these words from a “professor of constitutional law” at Georgetown University:
» Let’s Give Up on the Constitution

AS the nation teeters at the edge of fiscal chaos, observers are reaching the conclusion that the American system of government is broken. But almost no one blames the culprit: our insistence on obedience to the Constitution, with all its archaic, idiosyncratic and downright evil provisions.

Well, thank you Mr. Seidman – for relieving me of the burden of reasonable doubt of your patriotism, sanity and morality.

» Rev. Jesse Jackson Repeatedly Challenged To Defend Chicago Gun Ban After 500th Homicide This Year

…. pressed to defend Chicago’s strict gun control laws following the city’s 500th homicide, 87.5 percent of which are gun-related, this year. Jackson said that Chicago, unlike Newtown, has no gun culture – Newtown, Connecticut, having several gun ranges whereas Chicago has none. He also said that the pressing issues of poverty, unemployment and the lack of a sense of mobility in America’s urban centers are the root causes of gun violence.

I didn’t watch the video, (I ‘m sorry I just can’t afford it. Every time I hear the buffoon speak, I have to go out back and shoot a gun and at the current price of ammo I just can’t afford it.) so I have to assume this article is a good representation of the Rev’s answer to a question … just not the question that was asked.

Chicago has no gun culture? Yes, I think he’s got something there. Key word culture : “the act of developing the social, moral and intellectual faculties through education”.
Chicago has the guns but is missing the culture.

Chicago has no gun ranges? Chicago IS a gun range – an uncultured gun range – where all the targets are people and all the guns are strictly controlled by the laws of idiots.

» Two Cautionary Tales of Gun Control

In 1987, Michael Ryan went on a shooting spree in his small town of Hungerford, England, killing 16 people (including his mother) and wounding another 14 before shooting himself. Since the public was unarmed—as were the police—Ryan wandered the streets for eight hours with two semiautomatic rifles and a handgun before anyone with a firearm was able to come to the rescue.

Nine years later, in March 1996, Thomas Hamilton, a man known to be mentally unstable, walked into a primary school in the Scottish town of Dunblane and shot 16 young children and their teacher. He wounded 10 other children and three other teachers before taking his own life.

» Questions for Gun Controllers

What gun law would have stopped Newtown? Please be specific.
….
The assault-weapons ban passed in 1994 and was in effect for ten years. The paradigmatic school shooting took place at Columbine High School in 1999. Why didn’t the assault-weapons ban prevent it?
….
Why do gun-free-school laws never succeed in stopping lunatics bent on murder from taking guns to schools?

» Liberals Who Cling to Their Guns

Few things animate the ire of liberals more than the right to bear arms.
….
So why is it liberals abhor the right to bear arms unless it concerns their right to bear arms? Why is it liberals ridicule the idea of an armed guard protecting the children of others but don’t give it a second thought when it comes to the protection of their own families? Because liberals believe that if only the world was as wonderful as they are there would be no problems. They see themselves as being in possession of enlightened, progressive virtue and that gun laws should be used to keep arms out of the hands of uncivilized, uncouth conservatives or anyone else who has the temerity not to share their worldview. It is the same sort of thinking that allows liberals to own SUVs, send their children to private schools, and obtain waivers from Obamacare without batting an eyelash.

Obama has made no secret of his desire to dismantle our nuclear capacity; the New Start Treaty he championed in 2011 forced the U.S. to observe a ceiling of 700 strategic delivery vehicles and 1,550 strategic warheads, and this past March he stated his desire to cut our arsenal further:
“ … a step we have never taken before – reducing not only our strategic nuclear warheads but also tactical weapons and warheads in reserve.”
It is naïve to assume that Obama is simply blind to the results of his actions and trusts the world around him to act with generosity.

» LYONS: Draft of new U.S. Army handbook must be scrapped

A recent Wall Street Journal article described the U.S. Army’s final-draft handbook, which indoctrinates our military personnel heading to Afghanistan in how to be sensitive to and accept Muslim and Afghan 7th-century customs and values — or possibly be killed by our Afghan partners.
…. if our military personnel hear or witness an Afghan soldier sodomizing a young boy, the handbook tells U.S. service members to voice no objection, accept it or ignore it, or they could be killed. If an Afghan beats, rapes or kills a woman in the presence of a U.S. serviceman, they are not to interfere or stand up for women’s rights or else they might be killed.
What the Army is saying, in effect, is that if Afghan partners conduct violence against U.S. service personnel, it is the serviceman’s fault.
….
must accept without reservation by our Afghan partners is desertion, drug use, thievery, dog torture and collusion with the enemy

…. must not discuss Islam in any form

» 2 Rocket Launchers Turned In During LAPD Gun Buyback

The department says it picked up 75 assault weapons as part of its no-questions-asked effort that saw $100 dollar cards handed out for handguns and long guns and $200 for the kind of rifle used in the Newtown tragedy. The LAPD says 901 handguns, 698 rifles, 363 shotguns will also be destroyed.

Good stats. But this is the one that gut us saying WTF:
Cops picked up two — count ‘em two — rocket launchers (!) (and not one, as other outlets are reporting), an LAPD official with close knowledge of the program told us. Holy hell why do people on our streets have military grade rocket launchers?

When I said ‘leftist gun-grabbing liars‘ I didn’t limit that to the sniveling putz that wrote the article. It includes the idiots of the L.A.P.D. that paid $100 for an empty cylinder of aluminum and fiberglass that is slightly less dangerous than a wiffle bat – and then did a jump-run to the media cameras and microphones to announce their great triumph over the evil American gun culture.
The ‘rocket launchers’ they bought? Spent cartridges …. at best: Rocket Launchers At LA Gun Buyback? Give me a break!

There are two things left out of most of the reports. The first is that it’s completely legal to own these and the second is that if you wanted to kill someone with them, the only way you might be able to do it is by whacking them over the head.
….
The launcher for the AT-4 is single use. It cannot be reloaded and is really only there to protect the person firing it from the rocket discharge and to provide a basic means of aiming the rocket. Once the rocket has been fired, the tube is regarded as being spent. It cannot be reloaded with a new rocket ………

Here’s the KICKER …….

In this case, these “launchers” never even launched a missile. That’s because these are not, in fact “inert” versions of the launcher, as indicated by the yellow band on them, meaning they never fired a missile and may not even have the basic electrical connections needed to do so.

They are just empty shells, props of the weapon. They would be used for training soldiers on how to properly handle the AT-4, but they are not functional launchers, and even if they were, they would be useless without the rockets.

In essence, get a six inch PVC pipe from Lowes, green paint, little red button from Radioshack, and a strap from Walmart …. combine with some stupid California moonbat cops and you got yourself an anti-gun talking point …. something David Gregory can wave around in D.C. without breaking any laws.

» California gun sales jump; gun injuries, deaths fall

Gun deaths and injuries have dropped sharply in California, even as the number of guns sold in the state has risen, according to new state data.

Dealers sold 600,000 guns in California last year, up from 350,000 in 2002, according to records of sale tallied by the California Attorney General’s office.

During that same period, the number of California hospitalizations due to gun injuries declined from about 4,000 annually to 2,900, a roughly 25 percent drop, according to hospital records collected by the California Department of Public Health.

Firearm-related deaths fell from about 3,200 annually to about 2,800, an 11 percent drop, state health figures show.

» A warning to gun grabbers and collectivist media: By calling for gun control, you are unleashing your own worst nightmare

in the last ten days alone over 10 million firearms were purchased in America, and over a billion rounds of ammunition were taken home and put away by U.S. gun owners.
….
This was, of course, all a reaction to the screaming gun grabbers who are hyperventilating about guns and ignorantly calling for the abolishment of the Second Amendment and the complete disarmament of the American people. This utterly insane screaming fest by whiny, pathetic gun grabbers and collectivist control freaks has only accomplished one thing: the massive ARMAMENT of American citizens, most of whom absolutely will NOT surrender their firearms under any circumstances.
….
Gun-owning Americans are growing increasingly sick and tired of being called bad people simply because they choose to protect their homes, families and communities with firearms. White gun owners are sick of being irrationally called “racist” for choosing to own guns. (Historical fact: Martin Luther King owned “an arsenal” of guns and often carried a concealed handgun.)

Southerners are sick and tired of being depicted as idiotic rednecks by the uppity liberal media and its distorted, race-baiting TV shows. And the gun owners of America have just about had enough of being blamed for the violence of one crazy, medicated young man who committed murder in Connecticut.

Rogue Gun on Rampage!
Here’s a headline the mainstream media forgot to use … just slipped through the cracks … they’re busy folk ya know:
» San Antonio Theater Shooting
Nuff said? Another “gun-nut” went to the movies thinking it was a county-fair turkey shoot.

No, there’s a reason the MSM never picked up on this one ……

There was an off duty county deputy at the theater. SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone. So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened.

Only the local media covered it. The city is giving her a medal next week. Just thought you’d like to know.

This incident doesn’t fit into the narrative of the anti-gun media.

» The next gun control angle – insurance scam

The tide has been turning rather quickly against the gun grabbing gang as the year draws to a close, and they’ve clearly noticed. With nearly three quarters of all Americans opposed to a ban on handguns, and a slim majority even opposing bans on so called “assault rifles,” Second Amendment opponents find themselves in need of more “creative” ways to go after your guns. The latest one being picked up from the reliable liberal arsenal and dusted off is the idea of forcing legal gun owners to purchase liability insurance for their weapons. This brainstorm is brought to you by Megan McArdle.

….
McArdle is actually quite refreshing in her approach. Rather than trying to sneak around and disguise her intentions behind compassionate sounding paeans to save the children, protect the mentally ill and eliminate the sale of Grand Theft Auto, the author comes right out and admits what was fairly obvious to the rest of us already. It’s not going to cut down on crime, it will pose a significant barrier to law abiding citizens who wish to purchase weapons and it will convert insurance companies into a tool for doing what Congress should be constitutionally barred from enacting. This kind of brutal honesty about your intentions is to be admired.

So give her a congratulatory pat on the back …. then slap the ever-loving crap out of her.

» John Kerry at State: A Disaster for Israel

While Kerry was on his February 2009 junket to the Middle East, it was no mere coincidence that Rep. Keith Ellison was in Gaza at the same time. This was a coordinated effort by senior Democrats to demonstrate to Israel’s government that the pro-Israel attitude of the Bush Cheney years were over.
….
At the Democratic Convention in 2012, Kerry ignored the decision of his party leadership to remove Jerusalem from their platform and instead opened his podium speech by attacking Romney for his “neo-con advisors.” He then proceeded to quote Benjamin Netanyahu out of context. …
The word “neo-con” has a tendency to be code for “pro-Zionist.” Kerry’s words show that he will be hostile to the very existence of Israeli towns in the suburbs of Jerusalem. Democrats consider these “settlements” to be part of the “Occupied West Bank,” and he will label them as such.

» Ex-’regulatory czar’ uses slick sleight of hand to justify banning modern guns

The gist of his argument is that the very notion that the Second Amendment could protect the people from forcible citizen disarmament laws materialized out of thin air within the last few decades. He is not the first to make that claim ….. Those making that argument tend not to address this William Rawle quote in a book published in 1829:

No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give the Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under a general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any pursuit of an inordinate power either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.
….
Another “crazy claim” of Sunstein’s is more subtle, and thus more insidious. In reference to the Supreme Court’s District of Columbia v. Heller decision:

To this the court added that the sorts of weapons it was protecting were those “in common use at the time” that the Second Amendment was ratified.

Get that? He claims that the Heller decision recognizes Constitutional protection only for those arms “‘in common use at the time’ that the Second Amendment was ratified.” That would mean that any firearm more advanced than flintlock pistols and muskets can be banned.

While banning AR15s because they “weren’t in use at the time”, we can also ban practically all forms of news media because none of them are using the type of printing presses that were “in use at the time”:

We can also ban the free speech of Hollywood clowns – because microphones and cameras weren’t “in use at the time”. Obama’s multiple WhiteHouse websites that are designed to allow leftists to rat on everybody else are unconstitutional because the internet was not “in use at the time”. The third amendment “No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner” does not apply if you live in an apartment, townhome or condo – anything besides a house. The fourth amendment cannot protect your email from the government because The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated does not specifically use the word ‘email’.

» Here’s Why Someone Would Need To Own An ‘Assault’ Rifle

The left quite often exposes its raging elitism through its odious habit of asking why anyone would need the things that it doesn’t like, from guns to big homes to monster trucks.
The implication is that if the elitists don’t want whatever it is, then no one should be allowed to have it — except, of course, it’s fine for the elitists themselves to live in energy-sucking mansions, hire armed bodyguards and drive around in gas-guzzling limousines and SUVs.

The number of rifle homicides has fallen steadily since then to 323 last year, as have the other three weapon classes, though each still remains a more common choice than the rifle.
In fact, when added together, knives, blunt instruments and the human body were responsible for more than nine times as many homicides as rifles in 2011.
Yet no one is asking why anyone would want to own a set of steak knives, place a heavy candelabra on their mantle or have a hammer in their garage.

That may sound like a lame argument, but is it really? After all, it is the number of murders committed that the left uses as the basis of its anti-gun bigotry. Arguments like the above serve to point out that the number one reason given by leftists to ban guns simply does not hold water. Therefore, one has to consider what is the real reason?

» DISCOVERED PAPERS: HANOI DIRECTED KERRY

The first documentary evidence that Vietnamese communists were directly steering John Kerry’s group Vietnam Veterans Against the War has been discovered in a U.S. archive ….

One freshly unearthed document, captured by the U.S. from Vietnamese communists in 1971 and later translated, indicates the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese delegations to the Paris peace talks that year were used as the communications link to direct the activities of Kerry and other antiwar activists who attended.
….
“We’re not going to say he’s an agent for Vietnamese communists, but it’s the next thing to it,” he said. “Whether he was consciously carrying out their direction or naively doing what they wanted, it amounted to the same thing – he advanced their cause.”

Note the date on this article: 10/26/2004. It was published and became ‘news’ during the 2004 campaign when the traitor Kerry was running for the highest office. But ‘news’ then was controlled – or stifled – by the same media that now operates as the propaganda arm of the (THHO)Obama regime. The revelations of John Kerry’s communist ties and affiliations went unmentioned then – outside the rightwing blogosphere – and will go unmentioned now; again, as Kerry is being installed as the United States Secretary of State.

…. the documents show how the North Vietnamese, the Viet Cong, the People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice, the Communist Party of the USA and Kerry’s VVAW worked closely together to achieve the Vietnamese communists’ primary objective – the defeat of the U.S. in Vietnam …. “We now have evidence Madame Binh was directing the antiwar movement … and the person who implemented her strategy was John Kerry.”

The slow boil building up in your blood right now, will be cooled by the spinal chill you get from this:

Another FBI report, dated Nov. 24, 1971, gives details of Hubbard’s presentation to a VVAW meeting of the Executive and Steering committees in Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 12-15, 1971.

At that meeting, the VVAW considered and then rejected a plan to assassinate several pro-war U.S. Senators. Kerry is listed as present.

Our next Secretary of State may be a man who once sat in a meeting of subversive communist activists and participated in a discussion to assassinate U.S. Senators.

The question is not why would (THHO)Obama select this traitor to head the State Department, but why not?

» John Kerry: Still Wrong After All These Years

Over the next forty years Kerry would reinvent himself numerous times, transforming from an anti-war activist disgusted by the uniform to a war hero reporting for duty as he sought to corner both sides of the market, but his flirtation with tyrants and tyrannies, particularly those hostile to the United States, never changed.
The murderous Viet Cong gave way to the Sandinistas of Nicaragua. Ho Chi Minh gave way to Assad. Vietnam gave way to Pakistan. But at no point during those long 40 years, a biblical number often linked to transformation and change, did John Forbes Kerry learn anything at all from his countless mistakes.

That’s because in order to learn from mistakes, one has to first recognize them as mistakes.

“We negotiated with North Vietnam… they just want to get rid of them [the Sandinistas], they want to throw them out, they don’t want to talk to them,” Kerry whined. And Kerry did want to talk them. To the Viet Cong, to the Sandinistas and to anyone else who hated the United States and wished us harm.

….
In the spring of last year, Senator Kerry met with Mohammed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s new tyrant in Egypt, and said that, “in our discussions, Mr. Morsi committed to protecting fundamental freedoms, including women’s rights, minority rights, the right to free expression and assembly.”

Six months later, Morsi’s thugs were beating political opponents in the street and ‘Always Wrong’ Kerry had another notch in his belt.
….
“How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?” Kerry had asked during his Senate testimony, and throughout his decades in the Senate, with the power of the same committee that he had once testified before behind him, he had done his best to see to it that Americans and people from all nations would die for his mistakes.

A few years ago, Daniel Brown was detained at LAX while connecting to a Minneapolis flight because traces of gunpowder were found on his footwear. His footwear was combat boots. As the name suggests, the combat boots were returning from combat — eight months of it, in Iraq’s bloody and violent al-Anbar province. Above the boots he was wearing the uniform of a staff sergeant in the USMC Reserve Military Police and was accompanied by all 26 members of his unit, also in uniform. Staff Sergeant Brown doesn’t sound like an “obvious” terrorist. But the TSA put him on the no-fly list anyway. If it’s not “obvious” to the government that a serving member of the military has any legitimate reason for being around ammunition, why should it be “obvious” that a TV host has?

The argument for letting him walk rests on his membership of a protected class — the media. Notwithstanding that (per Gallup) 54 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the NRA while only 40 percent have any trust in the media, the latter regard themselves as part of the ruling class. Which makes the rest of you the ruled. Laws are for the little people — and little people need lots of little laws, ensnaring them at every turn.

» Map: Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood?
…. an interactive map that shows a dot over each home that when clicked will display the name and address. The map seems to have been produced and published as an illustration of sorts for another article
The gun owner next door: What you don’t know about the weapons in your neighborhood. Authored by Dwight R. Worley, this article starts out with the story of a gun-murder and follows into the usual “guns are the problem” whine that is so typical of liberals. But Mr. Worley took it a step further in getting the names and addresses of 44,000 gun owners in two New York counties and making them available to the general public via the interactive map.

The motive is clear. It’s supposed to portray gun owners as the pariah, the evil doers hiding in our midst; and expose them to the wrath of the public. Kinda like sex offenders or wife beaters. That is the way gun owners are thought of by the gullible audience of liberal media.

But that’s not the whole story. See, Americans (the real ones, I mean) are sick and tired of being demonized for being real Americans and don’t take this kind of abuse sitting down – anymore. The very next day, Christoper Fountain of the For What It’s Worth blog responded with a post that lists the name, address and phone number of the Journal’s publisher, along with a photo of her house. That didn’t seem to satisfy Fountain so he added name, address and phone numbers for the company’s CEO and the reporter who started it – Dwight Worley. And then the next day followed up with names, addresses, phones, emails, twitter and even some photos of the staff of the Journal News/LoHud.com.

You Get What You Tolerate …. and Christopher Fountain ain’t tolerating.
Bravo!

Incidently, the original article by Worley included an editor’s note :

Journal News reporter Dwight R. Worley owns a Smith & Wesson 686 .357 Magnum and has had a residence permit in New York City for that weapon since February 2011 …..

Head-scratcher right there?

Now, while Fountain’s reaction is a good one, it’s based on having taken offense to the actions of the guy who made the map. The “Visual Editor” at the journal (according to Fountain) Robert F. Rodriguez is responsible for that, and I do believe it was intended as a reprimand to the gun owners; an ‘outing’ if you will. It was meant to offend the gun owners, but that intention is born of pure ignorance and bigotry and deserves an additional, educational reaction.

Gun owners are not ashamed of owning guns. Our ownership of guns is the result of our having accepted the responsibility of our own defense, protection and safety – as well as the protection and safety of other people for whom we have accepted responsibility. Since we take our duties and responsibilities seriously we do not leave them to be secured by others who may or may not be there when it counts.

We believe that our right to defend ourselves and our charges is not just privilege or luxury but duty. Therefore, owning the best tools for the job is nothing to be ashamed of. Nor is it offensive when someone points it out – even when they do so because they lack the intelligence to understand the concepts of responsibility, accountability and duty. Not to mention the cowardice it takes to put your life solely in the hands of authorities that absolutely cannot guarantee any of the above.

So, an additional reaction to the ‘map’ should be thanks – thank you for publicly recognizing us as responsible citizens. Thank you for labeling us as stand-up Americans that make the founders proud. Thank you for letting the criminals know where they best not go lest they get their asses shot. Thank you for embarrassing all those cowards who don’t have guns.

From that same map produced by Mr. Rodriguez is this:

A big ole gun-free kill zone in New York

Look at that – hundreds of New York cowards live right there – not a single clickable dot. They shirk their constitutional duty to keep and bear – they leave themselves, their families and their homes at the mercy of any and all criminals in the hope that the authorities will be able to get there within minutes – when seconds count.

The people that live in that part of New York disgust me. Thank you Mr. Rodriguez for pointing them out. I’m sure there’s a few (illegally armed)burglars,(illegally armed) rapists and plain ole (illegally armed)psychos that thank you as well.

S’matter o fak, I sent Mr. Rodriguez an email:

To Whom ….

I’ve read the article at lohud.com entitled The gun owner next door: What you don’t know about the weapons in your neighborhood, and reviewed the interactive map of gun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties.

Understanding that it requires enormous effort and time to compile such a comprehensive list I would like to request that my name and address be added to the map. Even though I don’t live in New York City – or even New York state – I believe I deserve just as much credit for being a responsible American as do the 44,000 gun owners you highlited in your map.

If you could make that amendment to your map, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

I am Gun Owner Ross ‘Bubba’ McDowell

September 2011: 53 year-old Indiana resident, Jon Andrews, went to D.C. along with family to participate in a re-enactment at Mount Vernon’s “Washington and Rochambeau Commemoration.” As a re-enactor, Andrews had an antique musket in his car.
He was arrested by D.C. police and spent the night in jail while his family spent the night alone in the hellhole that is D.C.

The enforcers of unconstitutional law spent no time “deciding” whether Andrews should be immediately incarcerated.

December 23, 2012: NBC’s David Gregory on NBC’s “Meet the Press” produced a 30 round AR15 magazine and held it up, waved it around and used it punctuate his accusations. Even though D.C. gun laws explicitly define Gregory’s action as felonious, D.C. police are still “deciding” – five days later – whether or not Gregory should be arrested:

David Gregory is not above the law; he is a journalist, and must be held accountable to the same law as every other person.

DC High Capacity Ammunition Magazines – D.C. Official Code 7-2506.01

(b) No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm. For the purposes of this subsection, the term large capacity ammunition feeding device means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

We The People demand that he be formally charged for violation of this law on “Meet The Press.”

Yea but! millions of those violent crimes were not committed with guns. So there – proof that gun control works. But now that Brits are still butchering one another, there must be something else that needs to be banned:
doctors are calling for a ban on long pointed kitchen knives to reduce deaths from stabbing. Yup, right on time.

The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all.

They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.

None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed.

Gun Registration So You Can Keep Them?
» FEINSTEIN: ALL GUN OWNERS SHOULD BE REGISTERED, FINGERPRINTED

Feinstein’s legislation throws some gun owners a bone by saying, “[It will protect] the rights of existing gun owners by grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment,” but it then states: “It will require any grandfathered weapon to be registered under the National Firearms Act.”

Dhimmicrats demonstrate, once again, that they think gun owners are illiterate and totally stupid. I can’t help but wonder if they’re correct.

When certain anti-gun politicians or administrations broached the subject of registration in the past and the NRA or Gun Owners of America quickly pointed out that registration would lead to confiscation, liberals laughed and accused the “gun lobby” of being paranoid or conspiratorial. However, now, in the wake of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s bald admission that he believes gun confiscation a viable option, the days of laughing off the dangers associated with registration are long gone.

The Al-Madany Islamic Center of Norwalk in Connecticut wasn’t ready to give up when its proposal for a 27,000 square foot facility was turned down by the zoning commission over matters completely unrelated to religion. The Islamic Center sued, asserting—as you might have guessed—it was religious discrimination. The cry of “Islamophobia” got the Justice Department on its side, and the zoning commission suddenly changed its mind after a closed session.

» EPA’s Richard Windsor resigning
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson is high-tailing. She got caught using at least one email alias to do agency correspondence. The purpose, of course, was to prevent the ‘watch dogs’ from catching her doing underhanded stuff.

“Our objective is to determine whether EPA follows applicable laws and regulations when using private and alias email accounts to conduct official business,” assistant inspector general Melissa Heist wrote to the EPA on December 13, 2012, in announcing that an investigation was under way.

By applicable laws, Heist is referring to actual law as passed legally by congress …. not the faux laws the EPA is constantly fabricating under the name of regulations.

Windsor – I mean Jackson – insists that it was an innocent little thing for which she is resigning. That’s a first …. an Obama ogre backing down from baseless charges, eh?

There is a great deal of hard work ahead, such as deciding who to put up against the wall first. Everyone has agreed on the rich, the dreaded 1 percent, except presumably for those 1 percenters funding the revolution and paying the Citizen Smiths who work for NGOs and come up with new social media engagement strategies to tackle economic disparities and that sort of thing.

There are international tribunals and an entire political and media frenzy declaring that global warming is the greatest threat of our age. We snicker at fools who took the Mayan apocalypse seriously, but people who would never hide out in a basement because of some ancient prophecy listen to media buffoons drawing up lists of what parts of the world will be underwater in ten years or twenty and take the whole ridiculous thing seriously.

“The death penalty is an appropriate punishment for Global Warming deniers who are so influential that one million future deaths can with high probability be traced to their personal actions,” Parncutt writes. “Please note also that I am only talking about prevention of future deaths – not punishment or revenge after the event.” Naturally. Citizen Parncutt is not motivated by such petty emotions. His revolutionary will-to-kill is as pure as the driven snow.

American citizens, hiding in their own homes from foreign invaders
» Living on Land Ceded by the USSA

Did you ever think you would live to see Americans subsisting under these conditions in their own country?

Not to worry, our liberal overlords have a fix. They would like to take away the Chiltons’ guns.
….
Our rulers want the border porous because their long-term plans to “fundamentally transform” America require a massive influx of Third World welfare colonists. But more is coming across than undocumented Democrats.

By now it is obvious that the federal government will not take effective action to secure the border. Nor will it allow states to do the job themselves. Since protecting the country from foreign invasion is the #1 responsibility of any legitimate government, this begs the question: by what right do the parasites in Washington tax us?

» An opinion on gun control

Until this national conversation is willing to entertain allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons, then it isn’t a conversation at all, it is a lecture

…. The single best way to respond to a mass shooter is with an immediate, violent response. The vast majority of the time, as soon as a mass shooter meets serious resistance, it bursts their fantasy world bubble. Then they kill themselves or surrender. This has happened over and over again.

…. The average number of people shot in a mass shooting event when the shooter is stopped by law enforcement: 14. The average number of people shot in a mass shooting event when the shooter is stopped by civilians: 2.5. The reason is simple. The armed civilians are there when it started.

…. I have no respect for anybody who believes Gun Free Zones actually work. You are going to commit several hundred felonies, up to and including mass murder, and you are going to refrain because there is a sign? That No Guns Allowed sign is not a cross that wards off vampires. It is wishful thinking, and really pathetic wishful thinking at that.
The only people who obey No Guns signs are people who obey the law. People who obey the law aren’t going on rampages.

…. We don’t have more rounds in the magazine so we can shoot more, we have more rounds in the magazine so we are forced to manipulate our gun less if we have to shoot more.

…. You don’t need an assault weapon for hunting!
Who said anything about hunting? That whole thing about the 2nd Amendment being for sportsmen is hogwash. The 2nd Amendment is about bearing arms to protect yourself from threats, up to and including a tyrannical government.

» TAXPAYERS WILL LOSE BIG ON THE GM BAILOUT

Back in October, President Obama was bragging about the big comeback of General Motors.

When the American auto industry was on the brink of collapse, I said, let’s bet on America’s workers. And we got management and workers to come together, making cars better than ever, and now GM is No.1. again and the American auto industry has come roaring back.

That’s a valiant attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ears, but it is a poke of exaggerations, half-truths and deceptions — yet it helped to secure Obama’s re-election.
….
The $80 billion auto bailout gave the UAW nearly $27 billion because GM could not shed its overly expensive labor contracts, something it could have done in a normal, legal bankruptcy. Obama bailed out the unions, not the auto industry
….
UAW workers at GM kept their pensions as well, but nonunion workers at GM spin-off Delphi lost theirs. This is a Chicago style bailout in which corporate cronies of the Obama White House pocket taxpayer “subsidies” and “green investments”, give executives a raise, and then go belly up. That’s what happens when the spenders think of revenue as “government money” which they are free to distribute in any way that gathers in future votes.

Obama repeatedly lost patience with the speaker as negotiations faltered. In an Oval Office meeting last week, he told Mr. Boehner that if the sides didn’t reach agreement, he would use his inaugural address and his State of the Union speech to tell the country the Republicans were at fault.

Amazing isn’t it? How quickly the guy switched from ‘civil toned’, bi-partisanship, get-alongness to flat out cocky bully.
And the second term hasn’t even begun yet.

» Is President Obama Really A Socialist? Let’s Analyze Obamanomics

Any normal person would say that such an income tax system is more than fair, or maybe that “the rich” pay more than their fair share. So why does President Obama keep saying that the rich do not pay their fair share? Is he ignorant? Wouldn’t somebody in his Administration whisper to him that he is peddling nonsense?

The answer is that to President Obama this is still not fair because he is a Marxist. To a Marxist, the fact that the top 1% earn more income than the bottom 99% is not fair, no matter how they earn it, fairly or not. So it is not fair unless more is taken from the top 1% until they are left only with what they “need,” as in any true communist system. Paying anything less is not their “fair” share. That is the only logical explanation of President Obama’s rhetoric, and it is 100% consistent with his own published background.

» Americans to Get Creamed by Higher Milk Prices Unless Congress Acts

Milk prices could climb from an average of $3.65 a gallon to between $6 and $8 a gallon

…. the problem is not that Congress needs once again to create a new dairy policy to supplant the 1949 version; the problem is that Congress has a dairy policy in the first place. The federal government has no constitutional authority to establish minimum (or maximum) prices for any products, nor does it have the authority to subsidize producers who aren’t able to obtain the prices they would like on the open market. Furthermore, such policies in effect force taxpayers to give producers the money those producers could not obtain from them voluntarily, which is to say that they amount to legalized theft.

The solution, then, is not for Congress to pass yet another farm bill but for it to repeal the one from 1949, along with all previous ones still in force. Doing so would allow the market, rather than politicians and lobbyists, to decide what the proper prices of commodities should be, and consumers would no longer be held hostage to the whims of Washington.

» Just Freeze! EPA Says Burning Wood Is Bad, but so Is Natural Gas, Coal, Oil

The citizens have spoken; they have told the local, state, and federal officials that they would rather not freeze to death to satisfy federal bureaucrats who are in a fretting frenzy over theoretical deaths from soot. The citizens are on firm ground, as it turns out; the “science” the EPA has based its PM2.5 standards on is shoddy at best. Like the “science” cited by alarmists who are all in a twist over global warming, the studies providing the basis for PM2.5 are based on computer models and hidden data, not actual measurements and peer-reviewed analysis.

….
The EPA’s brazen overreach and flawed science have been flayed and exposed repeatedly …. but the Obama administration has marched on, determined to impose its “green” agenda on the nation.

Of course, even if the people of Fairbanks were to cease all burning of firewood, there is no guarantee that they would satisfy the EPA standards. There is no viable source of energy that meets EPA approval. The EPA is down on coal and oil, and even clean natural gas, which for years was the darling energy source of the greens — until the recent natural gas boom began making it cheap and abundant.

It’s not always about being green ….
