I keep looking for something else to write about, but life keeps giving me the Navy Yard Shooting.  Tactical team minutes away told to stand down.   Alexis’ a liberal Obama supporter, and now this…  (Note: prior to the quote below they were discussing the Texas Bell Tower shooter.)

‘If We Had the Ammunition, We Could’ve Cleared that Building,’ Son at Navy Yard Told Dad.“My son was at Marine Barracks — at the Navy Yard yesterday – and they had weapons with them, but they didn’t have ammunition. And they said, ‘We were trained, and if we had the ammunition, we could’ve cleared that building.’ Only three people had been shot at that time, and they could’ve stopped the rest of it.” So, basically, the civilians of Austin, Texas in 1966 were better prepared to respond to a shooter than the Marines of 2013.

Ironically, if Media Matters’ David Brock had been there, his illegal-Glock-toting bodyguard might have been of use. But probably not . . . .

So why didn’t they have ammunition?

Wait- We have a disgraced recalled State Senator to help us… (video on the jump)

From Doubleyouemyouare

In a letter to parents, Hanover High School officials said (High School Football) team members met at a player’s house on Aug. 24 after practice. Freshman players were asked to perform skits meant to roast senior players.

The Valley News reports the school said the themes were of a sexual nature that objectified women.

And they made the team forfeit the Home Coming game.

Question: Did San Diego Mayor Bob Filner direct the skits?  Did Anthony Wiener tweet pictures?

I have two rules for the folks that write at GraniteGrok:

• Rule #1: Adult themes, kid friendly

I do not want to hear that Janie and Johnny ran to their parents and asked “Mommy, what does this mean?” and then the parents come to me and ask “Oh REALLY!!!”

• Rule #2: Write when you can on stuff you want to, just don’t violate Rule #1.

Apparently, even before I can get all the videos up from Cornerstone’s sold out event, some Common Core materials are already sending fourth grade kiddies to Mommy and Daddy over their homework assignment:

“What’s a pimp?“

With the soot of exploding cigars still powdery on the reddening faces of gun control pouncers like good ol’ Piers the-living-skidmark Morgan, Dianne torch-the-constitution-it-hurts-my-head Feinstein, and a myriad of others in the media that prematurely wet themselves in anticipation of yet another anti-gun debate trundling its way into public with fresh evidence of an “assault rifle” attack it’s fruitful to remember what those folks think “AR-15” means.

Having certified before a New Hampshire court that she, Nebraska resident and UNH student Hannah Rivers, not only sought relief to vote in New Hampshire, she indicated that she intended to vote in New Hampshire.

But she never voted in New Hampshire.

Despite having over 40 days, including election day, after getting a judge to throw a wrench into the works for his Democrat pals, she never even voted.

Was it becasue she would have been double registered, having been registered to vote in Nebraska when she got her drivers license through motor voter?

Was it because the new media made her famous on Google by talking about her, the case, and how in a land where any registered voter can vote absentee in their own state, she was just carrying the OFA water weeks before an election in a swing state.

A non-starter, or should be, for anyone who actually thinks that there really is a purpose to the NH GOP Platform (and by-laws) as opposed to the Gene Chandler Theorem of Being a Republican (“Any Republican that helps us regain power is a good Republican“).  From DiStaso today – what does Brad Cook believe (potential and erstwhile candidate for NH Governor)?  And, most important to the grassroots,  how would Brad Cook fare when measured against the standard of what a Good Republican is suppose to typify – the  NH GOP Platform (quotes from it are bolded):

• Refuses to take the Pledge to veto a state sales or income tax.

Which if enacted, either a sales or income tax would definitely cause Government to grow as most Establishment Republicans (re: remember the gas tax raise?) and Democrats seemingly forget that the ability to tax more ALWAYS ends up in bigger government, not limited.

We’d be New Jersey (who put in an income tax to lessen the property taxes – how’d that work out for them?)!  So what does the NH GOP Platform say about that?

• We, the people of the New Hampshire Republican Party, do stand united in our dedication to preserving freedom, limited government and unlimited opportunity for all
• Strongly oppose new taxes and fees, including an income, sales or capital gains tax

From Seacoast Online – Letter to the Editor

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter’s op-ed last week left me incredulous that someone who has been in Congress four out of the last six years would point out deficiencies in today’s America as though it was not a reflection on her and her party. The Democrat Party has held control over two of the three branches of government since 2007, and Rep. Shea-Porter makes it sound like a little elf came in the middle of the night and diminished the standard of living in the United States and caught everyone by surprise.

/snicker (emphasis mine)

I’m a bit surprised that Komrade Karol is harping on diminished lifestyles.  Didn’t anyone tell her Obama was giving a speech on how great the recovery has been?  Those two things don’t exactly go together.  Maybe Carol missed a party meeting or grabbed talking points from 2008 by mistake?  I mean c’mon, after four or five “recovery summers” we should have so many jobs there aren’t even enough amnestied (sp?) illegals to fill them.
