It’s those damned Russians: They’re at at it again!
What’s the problem, you ask? Well, like I say, it’s the Russians! They’re…

Obama Eulogy for Inouye…about Obama
Everyone knows the fiscal cliff looks better from Hawaii and why not double down and deliver a eulogy for a recently deceased Democrat senator while you are there?
Better yet, how about making that eulogy all about you?
According to Slate, via Hot Air, that is exactly how it went down. The commander in chief took the opportunity to comfort friends, family, and associates of Senator Daniel Inouye…through the life of Barack Obama.
Another case of the “true agenda” media showing up? Example: NRA Presser
Certainly the extremely negative tweets of the “Media” that covered the NRA presser have been well covered by others but here’s a taste on video of the slant that the media has on guns when there’s a hot mic present and their attentions are not present: (H/T: Breitbart)
Generally, we respect those that respect the Law
…and not those that don’t. (H/T: Dustin Stockton)

Piers Morgan is a degenerate, rude, America-hater (even though he profits from it), and he spent the better part of this week irrationally arguing to limit our second amendment rights on his CNN “news” show. And he’s not a US citizen. Someone with good sense decided to put up a White House petition, suggesting we deport … Read more
Now if this was a Republican saying this…
But just as Booker [Corey Booker, Democrat Mayor of Newark, NJ] announced he would seek the Senate seat, Harry Reid came out to sabotage the effort. Reid told Politico: I always support incumbent senators. I would always support Lautenberg or anyone else that’s running for reelection. He’s (Booker) a very good man, he would be … Read more
Sticks and stones?
Via the Washington Examiner (Philip Klein): Mr. 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 … Read more
Now if this was a Republican saying this…Part II
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) announced Wednesday that she is planning to introduce two bills to protect students at schools – the school safety enhancement act, which expands the existing COPS program (Community Oriented Policing Services), and SOS or Save Our Students, which would expand the National Guard program.
SOS “would expand a successful National Guard program in place since 1989 that allows governors to use the guard to assist with law enforcement efforts related to drug interdiction and counter-drug activities. So we take a successful program, and we say we’re gonna add a new purpose, and that’s what we do in our legislation,” she said.
“National Guard troops could be used to support local law enforcement agencies in protecting our children at schools. This could take the form of additional guards at school as well as capital improvements such as strengthening the perimeters of the school and safety procedures,” Boxer added.
…“Right now, the program is a 50-50 match. My bill allows the Justice Department to reduce the local sheriff to just 20 percent for those schools who make the case for more generous federal cost-share,” Boxer said.
And the media and Lefty groups went wild over such a stupid inane idea putting armed guards into kids’s schools… Oh never mind – I missed that she’s a Democrat

Oh wait! A Republican did!
That’s How I Was Raised…
I was wandering through a retail store yesterday when I happened through the baby section. There was what the folks in manufacturing call a bottleneck–where things being what they are create a pinch point that slows or stops progress. In this instance the “things” were people, with carriages (sleighs?) loaded down with goodies, placed at angles in the aisle to optimize the stoppage of movement in both directions, while they chatted with animated voices and nonthreatening hand gestures.
No threatening hand gestures from the other shoppers who were being inconvenienced but that may have come later. I had no “sleigh” so I scooted around through children’s where I happened upon the cribs and baby monitors and that was when it occurred to me.
Why the Portsmouth Herald sucks
There are media outlets and media outlets. But some are just so filled with idiotic hatred that they descend into ugly parody. The Portsmouth Herald qualifies. Two days ago…
“Are you guys incompetent, or what?”
I hardly ever watch anything on CNBC – although after this, perhaps I should watch MarisaBartiromo more often. After all, how cool is that for a media person to call a sitting US Senator incompetent to his face on national TV (all ratings aside, it STILL is a national TV show)? Them be words that … Read more

Marko Kloos: The Gun “Is” Civilization
perspective…presently needed…alas, I repost this magnificent piece by Marko Kloos.
Marko Kloos wrote this piece in March of 2007. It is worth sharing over and over. Please enjoy….
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
And we wonder why we have $16 Trillion in debt to give to our kids…
The Feds have that Crack Money and local government just HAVE to get it. How many Spend in the moment and justify to yourself – Nashua is doing it:
According to Lozeau, up to 60 percent of the funding used to operate the Nashua Transit System is federal money. Furthermore, the nearly $140,000 for the software upgrades will be paid with a federal grant leftover from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, she said.
“If we don’t use it, some other community will,” Alderman-at-Large Barbara Pressly said of the stimulus money, adding she is very supportive of the project.
One has to wonder as ALL Fed money comes with strings attached; not one word as to what Nashua is on the stick for? What are the long term costs that Nashua taxpayers will be on the hook now that the money has been taken? What are the legal ramifications if Nashua finds out “this ain’t workin’ as advertised”? And anytime one puts money into government, does it evah gets smaller? And what is the individual passenger mile cost of this system anyways? What would be cheaper: running this or giving out vouchers for the private taxis in town? Hard questions unasked.
“Don’t let people who already have them keep them” – here comes the slippery slope
I quoted Chuck here in this post:
In the current state of play, moderate gun owners have become convinced by the NRA and other, even more radical gun organizations such as Gun Owners of America that the goal of all gun-safety advocates is to take away their guns. These owners view even the most reasonable gun-safety proposals with suspicion, fearing a slippery slope to a ban on firearms. This paranoia is what gives the gun lobby its power.
Well, looks like there ARE people, possessing sufficient power, to try grease that slippery slope. Oh sure, there will be tender words from the Left of compromise and “no, we won’t take your guns away”. However, their level of compromise, in taking advantage of this emotional crisis, will be this; if 100 is where we are now, and 0 is absolute confiscation, I have no doubt they believe that a 12 will be a “good compromise”. Why do I think so? Here’s just a few; I am convinced that more will come flocking out, especially as they see political opportunity to quickly move a Progressive goal of effectively disarming the populace, especially the red states.
- US Rep Ron Barber (D-Ariz): I want to see legislation enacted that takes away the availability of these kinds of weapons that can do so much harm in such a short period of time
- Judge Larry Burns: To guarantee that there would never be another Tucson or Sandy Hook, we would probably have to make it a capital offense to so much as look at a gun….Ban the manufacture, importation, sale, transfer and possession of both assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Don’t let people who already have them keep them. Don’t let ones that have already been manufactured stay on the market.
- NYC Mayor Bloomberg: he would go farther than the 1994 ban and outlaw all automatic and semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines. The mayor said magazines shouldn’t be allowed to contain more than five or even three rounds.
And then NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo actually came out and made it quite plain what the end game may well be – a ‘0’:
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that all options, including confiscation and “mandatory sales to the state,” would be on the table next month when the New York State Legislature debates new gun control measures. The comments were specifically aimed at what might happen should stricter rules be imposed on “assault” weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Unedited Union Attack Video

An indictment of America’s political class
Bill Whittle speaking on America’s current political leadership: “The stockpile of wealth that it has taken over 200 years to accumulate has been spent. The miserable, unserious, criminally negligent, incompetent, immoral, reprehensible, traitorous, swine have spent every last gold coin in America’s former mountain of wealth. And they haven’t stopped.” From Afterburner. Well. Worth. Watching.
