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.

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

Ayup:
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.

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.

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’.

From Michael G:
WND has an article claiming that TSA personnel performing "Enhanced Pat Downs" do not regularly change their latex gloves between passengers.

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.
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...

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.

Once Upon a Time...

There was a time when the major media used to do the reporting citizen journalists now do. Today, the media content themselves with recycling White House press releases and dismissing real reporters as "conspiracy theorists." [More]

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

Not bad, starting at $65K. Plus they start you right out with fantasies about that "Only Ones" attitude that separates "Us" from "Them."

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!

And I Used to Be an American

And I used to be an American,

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.

And, oh, look: same signal-senders!

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?

Of course, look where they were getting their signals from.

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?

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]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column introduces you to a convicted "gun criminal" and Brady Campaign pick who doesn't trust YOU with guns.

We're the Only Ones "Wreckless" Enough

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"?
