And Remember...
...they hate us because we're free... [Watch]
Here's more.
Fortunately, most of us would rather watch a basketball game or a Lady Gaga concert than guard with jealous attention the public liberty...
Still, the thought strikes that a rag, a Coke bottle and a dollar's worth of gas could pretty much render useless one of these multi-million dollar investments. So maybe before we let people near them, we ought to make them go through another line first, where we can give them the rape scan/junk grope...oh, I'm sorry, I mean the "Freedom Fondle" option...

A Lost Cause?
No, I'm not talking about GRendell's rantings. [Read]
I'm talking about allowing RINO political whores like Kate Harper to remain in power.
Better to let an anti-gun democrat have the seat as an object lesson that the GOP had better get someone acceptable to run if they want back in.
But that's stupid politics! If we do that we could lose all our gun rights!
Only if you believe the ultimate test will be political. Only if you surrender them. Only if you think it's a lost cause.
If you allow betrayals without non-negotiable consequences, what incentive is there to stay faithful?
And what's the deal with Dominc Pileggi? He comes out speaking for NRA, which has given him an "A" rating, but this says he "broke with Republicans - and some Democrats - to support closing the so-called Florida loophole..."

No Surprise
Proponents hailed Heller and McDonald as setbacks for gun control advocates. They predicted a shift in gun policy throughout the country.Ayup:
But so far it hasn’t happened that way. While there have been challenges throughout the country to local, state and federal gun laws, few have been successful. [More]
However, if they accept either Seegars or Parker, I believe the court will not dare say there is no individual rkba. But if they find there is one, it will be so heavily burdened with "reasonable restrictions" as to ensure the status quo. They'll never admit the truth unless someone, that would be us, has enough power to compel them.Men don't voluntarily give up power over others. There has to be an "or else" attached to if they don't, followed by a cost/benefit tradeoff analysis.
That's the way it's always been.

Stewart Rhodes Interview
The Rise of Authoritarianism and How US Law Enforcement Can Take a Stand for Freedom [More]I know there have been hard feelings vented at Oath Keepers because they don't do what some of their critics expect of them.
I would simply point out that this group has a very specific and limited mission. Getting cops and military to think about their oath and what it means is a tremendously important first step. Get their toes in the pool first...
I know that seems elemental, but it is what it is, and we work with what we've got.
It's up to us to then encourage them--as individuals--into more turbulent waters. If Oath Keepers tries to do that, it will discourage their recruitment targets from taking a closer look. That makes no sense.
Nor does chasing away people who are coming toward the light but may not have brought it into focus yet.
We can't be everything to everybody. Niches and specific objectives are also important.
I continue to support my friend Stewart and his mission. If that means people will then dismiss me, so be it. If I were doing this for mass approval, I'd have picked a different topic.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘American Traveller Equality Act of 2010’.
SEC. 2. NO EXEMPTIONS FOR CERTAIN AIRPORT SCREENING METHODS.
No law of the United States shall be construed to confer any exemption for a Member of Congress from any physical contact, x-rays, or millimeter waves, that are requirements imposed on the general public in an airport or to fly in an aircraft.

Be something if they're made in China, wouldn't it?
WND has an article claiming that TSA personnel performing "Enhanced Pat Downs" do not regularly change their latex gloves between passengers.That and I'd be interested to know who their glove supplier is, whether controls are in place to prevent bio agents being placed in/on them during manufacturing/packaging, and whether distribution chain of custody controls are in place up to the time they are issued to the gropers...
This got me speculating, the hard part of bio warfare is not the disease, but spreading it. Aerosol delivery is really pretty inefficient. But imagine a suicide bio bomber infected by a lethal disease spread by skin to skin contact booking an airline flight and refusing to go through the scanners? Then if the TSA personnel that performed the pat down failed to follow proper glove discipline he would spread it to every other passenger he searched until he finally changed his gloves. Possibly himself if he didn't know the proper way to remove gloves.

But don’t expect to see the opportunistic Sharpton turn down media exposure because he cares more about the liberty of his constituency than he does about self-promotion. Or for Commissioner Ray to turn down a chance at promulgating more of the meaningless babble that agenda-driven “authorized journalists” like Debusmann seem to lap up...[More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes there are civil rights and then there are unalienable ones...
And no shortage of charlatans who would exploit the one while subverting the other...

A Self-Correcting Problem?
In my estimate, the TSA workers will no doubt, within one year, be getting signs of radiation poisoning and most likely an increase in cancer by thousands of percentage points due to their work around the radiation. [More]Hey! Let's get him in front of that flower-scopee and see what inside of him!
We're the Only Ones Incompetent Enough
Collins’ attorney argued Collins was incompetent to stand trial and was being evaluated for a head injury that stemmed from falling down a ravine at work.This evokes nothing so much as NatLamp's "Radio Dinner" Frank Rizzo bit (11:43 on side 2)...
At the time of his arrest, Collins was still employed as a police officer...[More]

We're the Only Ones "B-Team" Enough
Kind of like a straight-to-DVD version of "The Expendables"...? [Read]
Ferrigno--Look out behind you!
FERRIGNO!
I'll tell you how old I am--I remember Peter Lupus when he billed himself as Rock Stevens in sword and sandal flicks. I thought his having a vaccination scar was the funniest damn thing...
I don't mean to be so contrary, especially as a citizen militia advocate, but I've just never been enamored of "star cops."
And I still think Sheriff Joe's got some 'splainin' to do.

Never Mind...
One more time and we'll have ourselves a spate...
We're the Only Ones Priceless Enough
Speeding and hitting a boy: $185.
Leaving him permanently brain-damaged and quadriplegic, and then getting off with a ticket: Priceless.
And no, you don't have a need to know if further discipline was applied. And "Authorized Journalist" Hayley Peterson apparently doesn't think the name of the Montgomery County District Court judge who rendered the wrist slap needs to be public information, either.
Amazing, who the law is really designed to protect and serve.
There are some things money can't buy. If you're an "Only One," this child is apparently not one of them.
Nice to know that, per pound, your kid is probably priced cheaper than chicken.

Do mental health study findings demand disarming one in five Americans?
But if this survey is true, can we as a society afford allowing twenty percent of the population to roam free among us potentially armed? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column wonders how much worse things could be if the inmates really did run the asylum. Nutty idea, freedom...

This Day in History: November 19
As the British strategy formed, British Gen. Augustin Prevost sent his younger brother, LtCol. Mark Prevost on a forging expedition against the Liberty County settlements of Newport and Midway. He also directed Col. Lewis Valentine Fuser through the inland waterways to capture Sunbury, the second largest town in Georgia. On November 19, 1778, Prevost crossed the Altamaha River with 750 men and ravaged the plantations, killing or capturing the male citizens. [More]

Dire Need
Check out the "r" in "Dire." Is that a pistol motif à la "The Sopranos" logo?
What I'm not seeing is if this is actually an ad placed by the Bureau or if this is some matchbook training school--Regardless, somebody figured out they could make money appealing to a certain type of mentality.
UPDATE: Matchbook U. Not an offer of employment! Financial assistance available if qualified!

My Man Mitthead Redux
This anti-gun slug wants the top spot.
This one never stopped wanting it, and he's apparently considered a "frontrunner" of sorts.
Fortunately for him, the signals have been sent on multiple occasions.
See, the whole purpose of the Tea Party movement and the groundswell of citizen dissatisfaction with oppressive government has been to make sure Establishment RINOS get more power over our lives.
Note to Stupid Party: You will blow it all.
Note to Fairfax: This ain't a chess game.

"The Agility to Pivot"
We just saw one take on this.
Figures this Republican idiot would endorse the polar opposite:
Anybody still have any questions about "Vote Freedom First"?

Someone to Watch Over Me
Kottkamp wanted the state to pay for 24-hour security from his full-time escort and driver, a captain in the Florida Highway Patrol, which would have cost thousands of dollars. [More]Let me guess--the gallant captain would have been able to protect his charge from al-Qaida...how?
Any "Only One" action going on here? You talk a great game, Jeff.
If you did a statistical analysis of Religion of Peace victims, how many Florida political elites have they racked up, as opposed to, say, "ordinary citizens" who travel overseas at their own risk, and who are banned from defensive options by law?

We're the Only Ones Pawn Stars Enough
A south Georgia police officer has been suspended without pay after his indictment on federal firearm charges along with two pawn shop owners and two store employees following an undercover investigation. [More]I sometimes get the feeling this whole unreal "Only Ones" phenomenon is a bad reality show.

The "No Only Ones" Bill of 2010
If we can't grope, they can't. [More]
This guy gets it.
Amazing how many from "our side" have tried to torpedo him. The rhetoric when he was running for president is telling.
Of course, look where they were getting their signals from.

A Raleigh police officer was arrested Tuesday on charges that he posed as a dead man to get a prescription painkiller. [More]Sounds like he could use more Brainnnsss...

Brady Campaign endorsed ‘gun criminal’ legislator
Do you get the feeling that perhaps there’s a bit of projection going on? I mean, how could you trust others to behave responsibly when that ability is apparently so personally elusive?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column introduces you to a convicted "gun criminal" and Brady Campaign pick who doesn't trust YOU with guns.
And it gets better. Guess who endorsed Myers in 2008? And guess whose proposed laws get cited in a propaganda report demanding to shut down “rogue gun dealers” in PA? [More]
Also get more discussion on the pistol grip shotgun issue and revisit the predictions of a seer.

We're the Only Ones Paying Tribute to Our Own Enough
Portland police Chief Mike Reese announced today that he's suspending Capt. Mark Kruger for 80 hours without pay and sending him to "Tools for Tolerance" training for erecting a public tribute to five Nazi-era German soldiers at a city park while employed by the police bureau.[More]I love it: As punishment, the wacky Portland national socialists are sending him to a Tolerance Lager.

We're the Only Ones "Wreckless" Enough
Do you think somebody should tell the highly paid "Authorized Journalists" at WISHTV8 how to spell, or do you think someone was being clever...? [Read]
He fired inside the car. During a fight with Sweetie. Where do they find these violent morons they unleash on the rest of us?
And I guess the fact he only faces "possible disciplinary action from the police merit board" means what? He gets to keep his gun? Those Lautenberg misdemeanor domestic violence prohibitions for life don't apply to "Only Ones"?
