Yep, this high school shooting shows how ineffective Govt can be

And remember, Progressives keep hammering the rest of us that we HAVE to trust Government – that it is the one thing that we all belong to! Yeah, right.  Broward County basically threw those high schoolers into the decrepit backyard shed, locked the door, and walked away. Trust what, again? (H/T: Instapundit)

So Scott Metzger thinks adding new taxes makes things “equitable”?

All that does is make it nigh onto impossible for the average person to figure out who is goring their wallets.  It doesn’t solve the problem: Year after year I am saddened to see my town continually divided over the ability or inability of its citizens to afford an increase in our property taxes. At …

‘Remember, when it comes to “gun control,” the important word is “control,” not “gun.”‘

As seen on FB (emphasis mine): Here are some interesting facts (in case you accidentally find someone interested in such things): There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from …

Obama, Democrats, and DACA Created the Opioid Crisis

It’s no secret that I think the opioid crisis is an excuse to grow the bureaucratic state. With frequent references to the work of Theodore Dalrymple, I’ve tried to warn legislators and citizens that budgets will be blown in the name of ‘doing something‘ to create a sprawling government infrastructure whose addiction to your tax …

‘I guess “Enterprise Cares” only for the fascist left.’

As to be expected, the Left is not letting a crisis go to waste.  They’ve marshalled their forces for the regular emotional political shove that I’ve been watching for years and combining it with “it’s for the children”.  And part of the regular S.O.P for Progressives: Work to silence the opposition by any means possible …

I don’t think Chris Cillizza even gets the concept that he “quotes”

A “good guy with a gun” runs towards the sound of the fight – not cowering under cover when innocents are being killed.  If Scot Peterson is Cillizza’s idea of a “good guy”, he’s purely lying for ideological purposes.  A “good guy” ACTS! (H/T: Instapundit)

Notable Quote – Bonchie

OK, tonite, I’ve got nuttin – but there’s a lotta folks out there that do.  From RedState, Bonchie points out that the Left’s claim to “right to be safe”, especially those of the teen survivors from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School murders that have gone full political, is sheer nonsense. Emphasis mine: ******************** There …
