My DC Fanboys

I've found them here plenty of times before. I just thought it interesting to see what they used as a search term. And it looks like they spent a bit of time here.

C'mon fellas, don't be shy. I don't bite. Why not leave a comment and engage us in some of that Obamarama transparent government dialog? We have plenty of folks here who would love to engage...

To the rest of the regulars, if you click here, it'll ping 'em back from this post. Kind of a nice, friendly way to say "Hi" back.

No Apologies

There are people on my side (well, they say they're on my side anyway) who say we have to apologize for the vehemence with which we defend our liberty and property and who say we must "tone down our rhetoric" and apologize for collectivist haters getting the wrong idea from our message. [More]

S'OK, Mike.

Some of us are happy to see you ramp it up.

A Collective Response

Senate Backs Apology for Slavery...

"You wonder why we didn't do it 100 years ago," Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), lead sponsor of the resolution, said after the unanimous-consent vote. "It is important to have a collective response to a collective injustice." [More]

I don't know about a collective response, but my individual response is I'm not apologizing for anything I didn't do, and I don't authorize anyone to apologize on my behalf.

Besides, as far as I'm concerned, slavery is being expanded to include us all. I think our efforts are better spent exposing overseers like Harkin for the evil frauds that they are.

Kumbaya, My Lord, Kumbaya...

He said the goal of his presentation, called Rachel’s Challenge, is to encourage his audiences to embrace the values like kindness, acceptance and love. [More]

That's fine, Craig, and everyone I know tries to live that way unless and until someone proves themselves unworthy of honor and esteem.

But what are you prepared to do when some monster embraces values like cruelty, rejection and hatred, and does so with murderous intent and capability?

You know, Craig, there are people in this world who would happily hogtie you and your loved ones, rape you in the most horrible ways imaginable, and then go about the business of slaughter as the ones they haven't gotten to yet watch and wait their turns.

I'd say you might want to embrace that, but the truth is, you've devoted your life to avoiding it.

That's some "leadership" you're teaching those girls.

The Devil in the Details

Holy bureaucracy, Batman – these statistics are based on an incomplete knowledge of sample size? Not only that, but the much-ballyhooed ‘tracing’ of these weapons is apparently done by looking at the firearm and saying “Yep, that looks like an American weapon.” [More]

Good read. Brings up some good points.

The Fruits of Obedience

Thousands of South African firearm owners who have legally disposed of their firearms could be on the wrong side of the law due to no fault of their own by next month, a hunting body said on Monday. [More]

I'm supposed to give a damn about people who care so little about their freedom that they will "dispose" of their guns? And the best the sportsman's lobby can offer is telling gun owners to contact the government to report themselves and make sure they're obedient to every new outrage?

This is what happens when you follow the counsel of surrender.

Oh, but if it wasn't for CHASA, we wouldn't have any firearm rights left at all...

Yeah, you people keep believing that.

We're the Only Ones "I'm Not Lovin' It" Enough

A Denver police officer has been suspended after allegedly brandishing his gun at a McDonald's restaurant in Aurora after his order took too long to fill. [More]

Hey, at least he didn't mace the window worker.

Ah well, the food probably would have been too salty anyway.

Y'know, these minimum wage workers don't have a whole lot of incentive to put up with crap. Do abusive "Only Ones" not realize when they act like this, they increase the likelihood of themselves and their brethren being subjected to a bit of resentment-driven fast food activism?

One other thing about this story I found almost as disturbing as the allegation--that his partner didn't immediately arrest him.

No doubt just a few bad hot apple pies...

We're the Only Ones Serpentine Enough

"We have forced water into the building and some of the snakes trying to escape were shot by our men carrying AK-47s," said Brima Kontu, head of the police station in Gerihun. [More]

What could go wrong?

After all, we're dealing with highly trained "Only Ones" here.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Thousands of people are being stopped and searched by the police under their counter-­terrorism powers – simply to ­provide a racial balance in official statistics, the government's official anti-terror law watchdog has revealed. [More]

Political correctness rules! It's much more important than your rights.

Besides, we're all guilty of something.

Got a problem with that, racist?

Anti-Gun Group Lies about GAO Report

In other words, a media professional wrote a headline knowing it was false. The press release was authorized. The VPC legal director is quoted, so we also know it was vetted. The lie was not only calculated, it was sanctioned. And the perpetrators are counting on two things: media complicity and us not knowing any better. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner shows how it's not enough to have a government agency on your side pulling for more gun edicts--the antis still feel the need to resort to lying.

And their strategy is working. The overwhelming amount of "news" articles are all falling for the lie that the solution to Mexican crime is new controls over you and me.

Since I don't see but a few voices out there saying otherwise, your support in helping spread the truth is needed.

Hopefully, the big gun groups will be on this soon. Their competition sure didn't waste any time.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.
