Remember When the Democrats Pretended to be Civil?

Maxine WatersAfter the Democrat’s T.E.A. Party shellacking in 2010, there emerged a new narrative called the new civility. The violent left moved to paint the victorious right as uncivil while panhandling the idea that the Left was the party of Civility. We took them to task then, as always, because they’ve never been civil. Democrat-Socialism can’t advance in such an environment, and they know it. But they tried to sell civility. Even Sen. Shaheen got on board.

Sure it was a lie, but at least they were pretending. Not anymore. Good luck finding a committed rejection of the violence and incivility being peddled all the way up and down the Liberal “food” chain.

The definition of insanity is…

pipe bomb…doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome.  Today we saw it proved once again with a side dish of pure Evil (something that the Left cannot acknowledge unless one is white, middle aged (or more), conservative, and Christian).  The insanity is this from the Sante Fe, TX Teacher Handbook:

Employees, visitors, and students, including those with a license to carry a handgun, are prohibited from bringing firearms, illegal knives, or other weapons onto school premises or any grounds or building where a school-sponsored activity takes place.”

And amplified in the Student version:

Fireworks of any kind, smoke or stink bombs, or any other pyrotechnic device; a razor, box cutter, chain, or any other object used in a way that threatens or inflicts bodily injury to another person; a ‘look-alike’ weapon; an air gun or BB gun; ammunition; a stun gun; a pocketknife or any other small knife.”

LtE Doodlings – This stands as well today as it did back in 2006

Illegals and EconomyI’m trying to find some information in the second level basement of my emails – with well over 10GB of emails, there’s a lot of sub-basements to look through.  I stumbled across this Letter to the Editor and unfortunately, it rings as true today as it did back in 2006 (reformatted):

Doug Lambert’s column pointed out the differences between those coming here to be Americans and share our responsibilities and those here only to work and benefit from our prosperity. Ms. Morrissette amplified that, only to be taken to task by both Mr. Babcock and Mr. Cracraft. And, both of them missed the nuances and essential points of the discussion.

Men Have No Say? Then Why Make Them Pay?

[Bumped- because it came up on today’s GrokTALK!: Originally posted Feb 9th, 2012]

The short-lived Komen for the Cure controversy over funding for Planned Parenthood ignited more than a few debates in the verse, more of them about abortion as it turns out than breast cancer screening. And we (men) were “reminded” of a few things.  Not only does funding “women’s health issues” continue to be successfully propagandized as the latest invented constitutional mandate (men don’t have the same mandate if you forgot), but the femi-nazis and their gargoyle familiars have taken the occasion to remind anyone with a penis that they have no say whatsoever in whether or not a woman should, could, can, or will have an abortion.  Men have no say. Fathers have no say. Just go away

If this is your policy, that’s fine, but from now on permission to use your vagina should come with some kind of End User License Agreement (EULA) which can be read and signed in advance of any intimate contact. Let’s call it the VULVA– Vaginal Use Liability Verification Agreement

Palate Cleanser – Iron Man 3

This is a featurette that is making the rounds.  There’s some actor commentary, a few clips, things blow up….good stuff.  (And for my progressive ‘friends’  no–I do not require that you watch it.)  

Red Box Review: Battleship

battleshipLet’s keep it simple.  Battleship is only good when there are ships and there is a battle.  So skip to just before the combat begins, anything that happened in the first 30-40 minutes or so you can work out for yourself by the end, and the battle sequences are a lot of fun to watch.  If you try to sit through the set up you’ll never make it to the good part.  And it was good.  Almost as if it were a different movie.

When you see the objects hurtling toward the earth’s atmosphere, that is probably the best place to start.

If you’ve got premium channels, by the way, the movie is currently available there as well (HBO I think), and worth the DVR space, assuming you skip the beginning.

So do you want spoilers?

Gun manufacturers leaving Colorado – now Connecticut’s turn to lose jobs and tax money?

Good title – but this might be just as applicable: Is the US stratifying / splitting over culture and values?  Are the gun grabbers making this go faster?

After all, what good is it to stay in a State that has made it illegal to sell, transfer, or effectively transport your wares?  Or that your neighbors down the street couldn’t buy your product?  Hate to keep harping on it, but Progressivism depends on incrementalism – don’t go for the home run (unless you own all branches of Government) but do the singles all the time….one step by another.  Oh sure, you can sell your wares out of state…..today.  Tomorrow?  Some of the Connecticut gun and firearms manufacturers are confronting that now – like Stag Arms that makes AR-15s which can no longer be sold in Connecticut (reformatting, emphasis mine):

As the Connecticut General Assembly is poised to pass what is being called sweeping gun control legislation, the state’s gun manufacturers say the new laws could be crippling.  “I feel like we have one foot being pushed out the door,” Mark Malkowski, the owner of Stag Arms, said.   Stag Arms in New Britain, which makes the AR-15 rifle, received yet another offer on Tuesday to move out of the state. It brings the total to 21 offers.   “They’re really good offers,” Malkowski said. “They are offering tax abatement’s, they’re offering to build you a factory.”

Lots of Red States, more conservative states, are ACHING to have them move out of Connecticut and to their State.  An offer to build you a factory will be hard to resist.
