Chris Matthews on Bill Clinton: 'That is the Voice of God'

His religious ecstasy continues, this time for former president Bill Clinton. Tonight on "Hardball" he played a clip of Clinton telling the party faithful that health care must be passed or the democrats will suffer for it politically.

His analysis?

"That is the voice of God." [More]

I put out a second Gun Rights Examiner column today because I just heard this and don't see anyone else reporting it--yet.

The Boompa Loompas

Commentator Boompa shows Oompa-Loompa-like stature when he attacks Oath Keepers:
All Police Officers take an Oath to the Constitution, Oathkeepers is a Right Wing Nut Militia and any Law Enforcement Agency who would hire it's members is joining a CULT
This calls for a song...

Boompa Loompa Doompadee Doo
If Morris Dees says so, it's gotta be true
Boompa Loompa Doompadee Dee
Reasoned positions from the SPLC...

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

Police 'steal' from unlocked cars [More]
And if they just happen to "find" something they wish to keep--or leave something they wish to incriminate--why, what's to stop them?

Besides, it's for everybody's own good...

We're the Only Ones Driving By Enough

No doubt just a few bad apples.

Eight- and seven-year "Only Ones" respectively. Both sergeants.

Bada-bing!

Glad they say they're going to treat them like gangbangers. Draw your own conclusions about the irony of that.

We're the Only Ones Blameless Enough

The tragedy that led to the Adames lawsuit in Illinois occurred eight years ago, when 13-year-old Billy Swan aimed and fired a Beretta pistol at a friend who had come over to play, Joshua Adames, who also was 13. The gun belonged to Billy’s dad, a Cook County sheriff’s deputy. Billy had taken out the gun’s clip before aiming it, believing that would make it harmless. A bullet that had remained in the gun’s chamber killed Joshua.

Billy’s parents sued Beretta, among others, contending that the gun manufacturer failed to warn users of this kind of pistol that removal of the magazine did not make it safe. [More]
So is Billy's dad hoping to make a buck off his incompetent complicity in the death of a child? That's probably the most disgusting act of blaming others I've ever read about. Seriously.

But at least he helps prove the point about Cook County "Only Ones" being more trained with guns than the rest of us. Or more trustworthy.

We're the Only Ones Putting Our Fires Enough

Asst. Fire Chief Shot By Police Officer in Court...

“I don't understand why they had to shoot him if there were 7 police officers in the courtroom and he's only one man, and he's not armed, I don't understand why they shot him,” Samuel Harris said. [More]
Here, Mr. Harris...this might help you understand.

We're the Only Ones Cheeky Enough

Several of you have emailed me a link to the video of "Only One" Wesley Cheeks telling a protester to remove an Obama sign.

This exchange should be in our minds:
"This used to be America."

"It ain't no more, OK?"
That an utter boob like this can hold any job with authority over others is appalling.

Here's an email exchange from over the weekend that clears up some misconceptions from the media:

Which means these are the people to contact.

I can think of one question for them right off the bat: Do you let this moron carry a gun?

I also wonder if the job really does require an oath to the Constitution like he claims in the video. Because he sure ain't one of these guys...

We're the Only Ones Messianic Enough

What?

You mean "Only Ones" aren't...?

Another "Gun-Free Zone" Success Story

Parents Fatally Shot While Children Slept...

Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority officials are fighting to keep a weapons ban on their properties, but say for now it's a losing battle. [More]
Yeah, no kidding.

We're the Only Ones in Pocket Enough

A Miami cop tasked with taking Crime Stoppers tips had other plans, authorities say, instead taking nearly $15,000 in reward money for himself and two friends. [More]
And naturally:
The tips generally came in from the northern part of the county, and the rewards were picked up in the southern half. Some involved a county gun bounty program.
Who could ever have predicted such programs lent themselves to abuse...?

We're the Only Ones Maternal Enough

An Essex County corrections officer shot and critically injured her boyfriend, then held police at bay for nearly two hours until turning the gun on her infant son, fatally wounding the baby before killing herself...[More]
Thank goodness New Jersey exempts "Only Ones" from their new one-gun-a-month law because they're so much more stable and trustworthy than the rest of us...

And thank goodness the story makes no mention of a pump-action shotgun...

Silence on Friesen Case Shows Continued Media Failure on Guns

So why is it we'd have never known about this story at all if we relied on the "mainstream media"? See for yourself what a Google News search yields.

Now compare that with something really important to keep the sovereign public informed on, say, "Twilight" or "Jon & Kate Plus 8"...

Aside from blogs and forums frequented mainly by activist gun owners, our fellow citizens would never know the Friesen story happened. Most still don't and never will. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column highlights yet another "sin of omission" by the establishment press.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.
