Man defends self from voilent attack, MSNBC glum
This is how it's done in the liberal media folks. A 65 year old man is violently assaulted by a group of teens while riding his bike on a trail in Pennsylvania. He is knocked to the ground and then attacked, breaks free, draws his lawful weapon, kills one assailant, and wounds a second.
And MSNBC's headline?
"Cops: Man, 65, kills teen who knocks him off bicycle"
The devil is always in the details, and while the article goes on to mutely report the facts, clearly MSNBC is not joyful that a law-abiding man out on harmless recreation successfully defended himself against a group of violent thugs - and was (gasp!) "released" by the cops. Hurts, I know. There, there MSNBCers, there there.
How about this for a headline:
"Man, 65, kills one thug, wounds second during violent attack on bike trail"
By the by....the third thug, according to less than enthusiastic MSNBC, was remanded to a "Youth Center" after being questioned by police. In more accurate words, the third thug was arrested and is now in Juvie.
This is why we must defend our right to keep and bear arms.
Going debate loopy
So how many Republican debates have there been now? Hec, I don't know, but what I do know is that there have been too many. Eyes glazed over a while ago for most.
Barring a sex scandal or some other equally dastardly act, Mitt Romney seems to be the Anointed One. I am wary of him, as I have said before. Although I have previously spoken in favor of Newt, it is undeniable that he's been erratic in the past, however, I still think he is the most articulate of the group. Nonetheless, I have also said before that I would vote for whomever the Republican nominee is unless he is provably a clone of Adolf Hilter or some other equally heinous fiend from the past.
I still think there is some merit to fundamentally changing the way we select Nominees. I think it should be like a "reality" tv show, where the contestants vying for the top spot have to go through rigorous challenges like the Next Iron Chef, or Project Runaway, or even the apprentice. After each "challenge" the contestants would then get booted off the show until there is only one. The Quickening. Yeah, wouldn't it be great if The Donald himself got to choose our Presidential nominees after putting them all through groveling, pandering, lying, and posturing exercises? Isn't grand to fantasize seeing Barack Obama on the receiving end of "YOUR FIRED!". It is grand. After all, Barack Obama has blatantly breached his oath of office to protect and preserve the Constitution of the United States, is responsible for the murder of hundreds of Mexicans, and least one US Border agent, and that's the warm-up. Barack Obama has earned impeachment far more than lecherous Bill Clinton. Far more.
I am looking forward to the end of the in-fighting and back-biting so the Republicans can focus on the message, and ram home to the Stupid Nation Barack Obama's disastrous record as President, and force this country to confront the colossal error a small majority made in selecting an narcissistic intellectual light-weight and functional economics illiterate as the 44th president.
All Hail Caesar!
I wish I had more time for exposition on this topic (my real job gets in the way of blogging), though the blogoshere and conservative-dom has exploded over Obama casting aside the Separation of Powers doctrine so central to our form of government in order to ensconce his cronies in office.
As I read of the cheering liberal reaction to Obama's imperious disregard for the Constitution of the United States - another article of impeachment - I can't help but recall and paraphrase the line from the otherwise awful Star Wars flick where poor Queen Padma, Princess Leias' mommy says:
And to think, that line in the movie script was a clear an unmistakeable dig at George Bush. Obama makes George Bush look like a freaking libertarian in comparison. What do you think now Mr. Lucas?
Truly, a stupid nation has acquired the leader it so richly deserves.
Pathetic.

Speaking of Criminal Lying
Just imagine if it was George Bush doing the serial lying. Would Steve Kroft let him get away with it, or would he do a heretofore classic 60 minutes 'gothcha', time and time again?
David Limbaugh speaks on the 60 minutes interview.
Michael Barone weighs in on recent pathetic Obama "policy" speech.
The usually brilliant Krauthammer has a thing or two to say.
I am looking forward to ending the Next Iron Presidential Candidate reality TV contest and getting down to the business of focusing America's attention on the grisly failure of Barack Obama and his administration. If Steve Kroft and the rest of the leftist media won't hold Obama's feet to the fire, then it's up to the Republican candidate for President to frame and then hammer home the disaster the left has wrought.
The stakes for the country could not be higher.
And the Drip,Drip, Drip of Liberty Lost goes to.....
A torrent.
The legislation proposed by the reprehensible Republican turncoat Senator John McCain, among others, which declares the continental United States a "battlefield" and authorizes the military to sweep in, collect any citizen of this country they deem a 'suspected terrorist', and then whisk them off to Gitmo to be imprisoned indefinitely and without due process, passed on December 15th, 2011. A day which will ultimately live in infamy. Take note it passed overwhelmingly, cynically imbedded in a massive defense spending bill. Only a few brave elected representatives voiced their alarm over what this piece of crap law means to the country in the long run. Obama piously declared he would veto the bill, because of the 'battlefield' provision, then quickly caved. Ironic, considering the Obama Administration's love for prosecuting known terrorists captured around the globe as common criminals, to disastrous effect, being forced to retreat and embrace the dastardly Bush Administration approach to holding military tribunals.
The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act has effectively been repealed. The greatest sad irony here is that an act which strips Americans of their fundamental rights heretofore guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States was passed on our national Bill of Rights day. The adoption of those much celebrated amendments occurred on December 15, 1791, upon their ratification by Virginia.
Now all the government needs to do is label any American citizen it doesn't like as a 'terrorist' or 'enemy combatant' and *poof* - disappeared, gone, potentially never to be heard from again. Since the 'war on terror' is an open ended engagement, in theory, any suspected enemy combatant can then be held forever. As far as John McCain is concerned, imprisonment without due process is not psychological or physical torture for a free citizen of the United States living under the Sun, just dunking someone's head in a bucket is. It's a sickening anathema to those precious freedoms we are slowly giving up with little more than a whimper, if that.
On it goes. Some in congress want to seize control of the internet, Chinese style. Other politicians and Obama officials want to make it a crime to lie on the internet, even though politicians lie through their teeth almost continuously. We've all seen A.G. Holder lie through his teeth regarding the now infamous ATF program "Fast and Furious", but don't you dare use a false name on Facebook. Or lie about your weight on Match.com. All of it, so pathetic. While we the people snooze as our fundamental freedoms erode, those who seek to strip us of any mechanism by which to challenge the tyranny rising around us are emboldened to push forward. Whether just ill-conceived, or more sinister in purpose, if these types of initiatives to strip us of our fundamental rights of free speech, expression, and due process are not resisted by the electorate, we will one day wake up and find it's too late.

Pulitzer Prize Winning Crap
Here is a fascinating blog piece from Ken Allard, a talking head military expert. Mr. Allard chronicles a long running and expensive investigation - actually a series of investigations - in which Democratic Senator Carl Levin latched on to a 2008 article published in the New York Times, which Allard says was "perversely unfair, misleading and badly slanted", and presumed Mr. Allard and his contemporaries guilty until proven innocent. Guilty, that is, of "conflicts of interest" and other misdemeanors.
The NYT article got the author a Pulitzer prize. Perverse indeed.
So, after three years, investigators turned up nothing after nothing. Sen. Levin refused to accept that there was nothing wrong except there was nothing wrong, and injected himself into the process in order to bake the outcome. He failed.
This tale almost has it all - a government official abusing his power, a classic example of NYT propaganda masquerading as 'news', getting an award for it, and absolutely no repercussions after the premise of the NYT article was proven false, not once, not twice, but three times. No repercussions for Levin, who wasted taxpayer equity on a wild goose chase, no repercussions for the New York Times, which published an article "badly slanted" and proven wrong, and no repercussions for the author of the article.
Giving the Pulitzer back? Not on your life. The left loves to reward failure.
It is, in the end, utterly pathetic.
Mounting Evidence - Fast and Furious was a Political Operation
In a previous blog post, I noted that a blog by Michael Barone floated the theory that the ATF Fast and Furious scam was hatched by the gun-hating Obama Administration in an effort to flood the Mexican illegal gun market with American bought guns so they could justify further restrictions on gun purchases here at home. Some think this is preposterous, that the Federal government would never purposefully aide and abet criminals by providing them with intentionally easy access to firearms in the US, only to be used in murdering innocent Mexicans, as well as at least one US Federal employee. Couldn't happen in the US, right?
Well, the smoking gun (sorry for the pun) may not yet have seen the light of day, but this is pretty close. As sickening as it may be, the evidence thus far dug up seems to be pointing in the direction that Fast and Furious was a political vendetta by the Obama Administration against gun ownership right here in the US. That Fast and Furious was a political operation, not a law enforcement operation, aimed at deliberately deceiving both Congress and the American People into believing that gun laws here at home required significant 'tightening' in order to save Mexico from terrible carnage. So the federal government fomented murder and mayhem in order to justify acting against it. It's so disturbing on so many levels. If you know your 20th century history, then you know what I mean.
As I have said several times, this is an impeachable offense for Obama. The loathsome AG Holder and top ATF officials may all have innocent blood on their hands of the worst sort. If so, they should all be indicted for manslaughter at the least, and then prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That's not going to happen, when one of the architects of this tragedy is the AG himself. In addition to Fast and Furious, there are many other incidents in the Obama Administration that point to a criminal regime without regard for the law.
Here's to hope for change. The Obama Administration is incapable of policing itself. The only Court Obama can be made to face is the Court of Public Opinion. Which leads me to another thing I have said repeatedly - November 2012 can't come soon enough.

A faster and more furious drip, drip, drip......
Two news items of late that should give us all pause to be alarmed at just how badly our federal government has run amok. First, Senator John McCain, who I reluctantly voted for in the 2008 presidential election - perhaps it's more accurate to say I voted against Obama - is back in the news as a co-sponsor of a bill that would effectively nullify the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act which blocks the military from involvement in domestic law enforcement. So, from a McCain perspective, it's ok to arrest someone without warrant, or probable cause, throw them in prison indefinitely with trial, just so long as you don't "torture" them.
This law is a bold and direct challenge to the fundamental principles ensconced in the Constitution of the United States, and a somber warning to us all that there are significant elements of our own government becoming increasing fearful of it's own populace. The Constitutional isn't even worth the parchment it's written on if we the people don't defend it. Ann Coulter was recently 'bleeped' on MSNBC for allegedly referring to McCain as a douchebag. Well, as the architect of another disastrous piece of shit legislation called McCain–Feingold which placed limits on political free speech, and now this...he is indeed a douchebag, and unfit to hold even the office of dog catcher.
The other item in the news today is a report on Fox News detailing the retaliation of the whistle-blowers at ATF over the Fast and Furious debacle, and at the least appearance of rewards for those most directly responsible for the program's operation and management. In addition to Obama shielding those in charge, and punishing those who objected, the loathsome AG Holder has sealed records associated with the murder of the Border Agent killed with one of the guns ATF trafficked to the Mexican drug cartels. Congress gave an opportunity for the scorned tattle-tale agents to tell their stories, while decrying the "illegal" gun running operation - nobody is actually doing anything about the sad-sack situation. If Fast and Furious was "illegal", then where are the prosecutions? The entire Obama administration is in this one up to their chins, and as I have said before, Obama, Holder, and their underlings all have blood on their hands. The blood of a US Border Agent, as well as a unknown number of Mexican nationals who were murdered using guns ATF "illegally" trafficked into Mexico. This mess is impeachable, which is why Democrats simply don't want to go there, and most in the media look the other way
Those who do not water the tree of liberty will garner no shade. If we the people do nothing, then one day in the not too distant future, we will wake up and find that all that so many in the past fought and died to create or preserve, we be lost.
A Chink in the TSA's Armor
As I have suggested before, there is really only one way for us little people to bring the Federal Government and it's TSA Security Politsiya apparatus to it's knees: refuse to fly. Only hard economics will put a stop to this.
While not organized, it seems that the humiliating and now routine Fourth Amendment violations are resulting in something of an organic boycott of flying. So, while we don't have smelly unwashed Occupiers camping out in airport concourses around the country, a measurable number of people have either trimmed their flying habits, or outright refuse to fly commercial, like former pro-wrestler Jesse Ventura. As for me, I refuse to fly commercial for recreation (and I can't afford to fly private). If the vacation destination isn't reachable via automobile, then it's out of reach for me, at least for now. I still have no choice but to fly when my employer requires it. However, I have thus far been able to avoid flying on business for most of this year. I am happy about that. No money for the airlines from me.
You know the effects are being felt with the leftist rag The New York Times publishes an article on the topic of declining fliers. We hope the trend continues, and more groups with access to the national media call for a boycott of all flying. We need a National Do Not Fly day, and we need it bad.
Not all that is Stupid Eminates from the USA
Here is a fabulous example of stupendous European Union regulatory stupidity. And now pause to think about how delighted Obama and his radical left wing cabal would be if the US caught up to the EU. We are not that far behind. According to the US Federal Government, pizza is to be classified as a vegetable. I like pizza. I ate two slices of the stuff just today. I think I am going to look into starting a pizza farm.
Now I think I am going to get a drink of water. Wouldn't want to get dehydrated.....
