Snuffy Still Flouts Tax Law as Separatists Turn Blind Eye


Snuffy Pfleger is still up to his liberty-snuffing antics, and there's still no outrage from Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

I guess using tax-deductible resources to advocate legislation to the general public isn't as threatening to the Republic as a fundamentalist preacher expressing religious views to his congregation...

It appears their moral outrage is consistently selective, does it not?

3 Quick Observations

1894C said...
...I can't wait to read your opinions of DC V Parker & the impending Aug deadline to appeal to SCOTUS, the CA pending bill to ban lead ammo for hunting, the OSHA pending ruling regarding the storage of gunpowder and ammo.

I may not have time to do a very thorough job on these, so here are my hipshot impressions. Feel free to disagree:

I hope I'm wrong, but I think Fenty's going to cave on Parker. I don't think the anti-gun establishment is confident enough in their legal position to want to see this one go any further, and they'll carrot/stick the mayor to take one for the team and drop it. Which means we still won't have a SCOTUS ruling--and that will be exploited later in a venue more to the subversives' advantage.

The environmentalcases have made great freedom-destroying strides in this country, and California is at the forefront. Plus, they've been know in the past to enact edicts just to give an in your face! to gun owners. I've pretty much said my piece on the lead issue here, and would only reassert that anything Leonardo Dicaprio thinks is a good idea needs to be vetted for childishness.

In re OSHA and the proposed regs, again, I have no crystal ball, but my feeling is that the issue will be put on the back burner for the time being--at least until the base-alienating republicans succeed in transferring enough power to allow the democrats to force it through. This is just one more example of how freedom is about a lot more than guns. Put another way, anti-freedom is about controlling others--in all aspects of their lives and affairs.

Gun Banners Pledge to Lie

Seeking the attention of presidential candidates taking part in the NAACP national convention, concerned parents and activists said that they plan to conduct a “lie-in” today to protest weak gun laws, particularly on college campuses.
Yeah, I guess complete bans aren't strong enough.

How fitting they choose to call it a "lie in."

Oh, wait--they mean as in "lie down."

I always wanted to go to one of those dressed like Evel Knievel, have a crew set up ramps on each side of the line of protesters...
