Hillary's Poached Duck Recipe?

Clinton told an audience she supported gun rights, two days after a student opened fire on the campus of Northern Illinois University, killing five before turning the gun on himself. Clinton said she believed in getting guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill even as she favored protecting the rights of law abiding gun owners.

"I've gone hunting," she said. "I know you may not believe it, but it's true. My father taught us to shoot."

Clinton told reporters later she had once shot a duck in Arkansas, along with "a lot of tin cans, targets and some skeet."

OK, so here are my questions: Would there still be a record warehoused away somewhere to see if she pulled a hunting license? And if she didn't, isn't a violation of state migratory waterfowl regulations also a federal violation?

And won't someone please email PETA and express outrage, outrage I say, over this shameless exploitation and encouragement of animal murder just so she can pander for the brutal blood sport vote?

“Homegrown Terrorists”

So what would a cop on the street look out for?

“Defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN (Super Patriots),” read the very first point in the very first category, “Right Wing Extremists.”

“Groups of individuals engaged in paramilitary training,” it continued.

"Homegrown Terrorists" is my Rights Watch column for the April 2008 issue of GUNS Magazine, on sale now at domestic newsstands throughout the Republic.

Give them some room. Give them some water.

Good grief.

What have I been saying about these fanatics?

Shrieking girls fainting in hysteria.

Shrieking girls treating Thulsa Doom like the new messiah, having self-induced orgasms and weeping in religious ecstasy.

I remember the last time I saw this phenomenon.













This isn't a political campaign. This is Beatlemania.

I actually think returning to hereditary kings would make about as much sense.

Power to the Sheeple

People in crowds behave just like sheep, scientists claim, by blindly following one or two people who seem to know where they are going.

No duh.

"Even more striking, that study found that even when we are shown a faster route, we still prefer to stick with the old one and tell others to take the long road too..."

Yeah, tell me about it.

It is Not Clear When, or If...

But after Thursday's shootings left six dead and another 16 injured at Northern Illinois, Koehler contacted County Administrator Peter Austin and had the item taken off the agenda...

"Both of my sons were teaching assistants in the same lecture hall where the tragedy took place, so it hit me pretty hard," Koehler said.

It is not clear when, or if, the anti-gun control resolution will come before the full board.

Yeah, like his sons'll be safer by ignoring the Second Amendment.

We've talked about the McHenry County 2A Resolution, and that it was pulled. This Ken Koelhler character is why.

This is the problem when we rely on elected "leaders" to do things, because most will angle for political advantage or damage control, as opposed to those who truly lead on principle. You get nincompoops who allow their emotions to rule, or at least use that as a calculated excuse for why they betrayed the group they're supposed to be leading. This guy just doesn't want any fallout and heat, and he's masking it with "Look how empathetic I am."

Here's contact info for him, for those of you who care. While you're at it, you may as well contact everyone who went along with it without a word of public protest. My guess is the people behind the resolution want us to be polite, so I won't come in at the 11th hour and pollute their pool. And it's not like the resolution itself is anything more than symbolic, albeit powerful symbolism, so its passage isn't urgent. But if I was a local gun activist there, I'd sure make it known I expected it to be resurrected within a timely period, and I'd do it during public comment (agenda item 11) at the meeting they pulled it from.

45superman has lots more.

UK Freedoms Up in Smoke

No one would be able to buy cigarettes without the permit, under the idea proposed by Health England...

"The senior government advisor putting this idea forward is not only adding to the red tape and bureaucracy we already have in this country.

"He is openly bragging that he wants to make the form as complex as possible to fill in."

What a sadistic, twisted martinet that sick little "government advisor" is. Why should such an obvious and despicable pervert have any sway over peoples' lives? The UK nanny state is damn near complete, if my "grasp of British culture" is firm.

By way of disclosure, I used to be a heavy cigarette smoker. I'd tried quitting many times, for years. What finally provided the motivation was my wife discovering we were expecting a child 18 years ago--I figured I owed the kid a father, quit cold and never looked back, although I do still enjoy a good cigar on weekends.

But the anti-smoking fascists are also gaining momentum on this side of the pond, to where, in many states, it's no longer a choice of restaurants and bars to allow the market or--gasp--the owner to decide based on customer demand or proprietary interest. And now it's moving into people's homes, people's cars...all with the heavy, coercive hand of the state putting a big "do as we say or else" behind their usurpation of free human choices. Because we can't be trusted to run our own lives, you see.

I've talked before about "ATF Night," a pro-RKBA monthly dinner we used to have in California (so named because we enjoyed adult beverages and cigars during the event and discussed firearm rights). The restaurant spent a quarter million dollars on a "Cigar Room," with special ventilation in a room apart from the main restaurant, so they could host gourmet dinners with fine wine and cigar tastings. Thanks to the intrusive state, we could no longer enjoy the "T" part of why we were getting together unless we wanted to huddle outside--not a pleasant prospect on a cold or wet evening.

The Nazis just can't stand to think anyone might be enjoying themselves doing something they disapprove of. And they're so intent on promoting their vision of healthy lifestyles, they'll destroy anyone who gets in their way.

Ultimately, just like with guns, it boils down to "Be safe and healthy according to our dictates or we'll kill you."

Sunshine, anyone?

UPDATE: Bottled Water "Immoral" in UK

Good grief.

Saving Grace

James Picket may be 80, but he's no pushover. The North Texas man proved that when a couple of guys up to no good knocked on his door last weekend and tried to mess with him.

His "saving grace," we are told, is the gun he kept in his pocket.

We're also told he faces no charges. Who would think he would? This man deserves a special citation and a reward.

What kind of despicable subversive cowards would think otherwise?

Democrat Democracy

A top Hillary Clinton adviser on Saturday boldly predicted his candidate would lock down the nomination before the August convention by definitively winning over party insiders and officials known as superdelegates, claiming the number of state elections won by rival Barack Obama would be “irrelevant” to their decision.

Ah yes, the party of the people.

Orwellian, ain't it?

We're Not the Only Ones...

A woman who was patrolling to keep her neighborhood safe nearly became a crime victim herself when someone opened fire on her.

And now, she says, she's armed.

Who does she think she is? An "Only One"?

Damned vigilantes. Don't they know the militia of the whole people is an anachronism and the Second Amendment is a product of a different time?

We're the Only Ones "Good Dog Carl"* Enough

A man has filed suit against the city of Winter Springs, accusing two of its police officers of mistaking his home for someone else's, hauling him outdoors without clothes and shooting dead his Rottweiler.

I wonder if the minimum wage pizza delivery guy could find the right address, where the highly trained "Only Ones" could not? I mean, it's not like the city of Winter Springs has property/parcel plans on file or anything.

This Day in History: February 17

Arriving at Albany, NY on February 17, 1778, Lafayette found that the expedition was disastrously lacking in money, food and soldiers. Residents of upstate New York (who ought to know) considered it foolhardy to lead an expedition to Canada in the dead of winter, and the British and Canadians already knew of plans for the expedition and were preparing against it.
