Great Expectations

Contrary to expectations, the Democrats on the committee were willing to provide Holder with some cover.  [More]
Contrary to whose expectations?

Is this representative of what it takes to get a gig at The Atlantic?

Reese family requests partial asset release for legal, living expenses

“Defendants, Rick Reese and Terri Reese … move this Court to enter an order authorizing the release of a portion of their seized assets to pay for upcoming legal expenses as well as to provide life subsistence,” the motion begins. Assets listed which could be used for this purpose include real property, vehicles, coins and currency. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report describes a cage match where a raging leviathan with unlimited reserves takes on powerless victims it's been beating down and trying to destroy for almost two years--and just to keep things fair, they've bound their victims' hands and legs so they can't fight back. 

This is modern "justice" in America, courtesy of a government that has an obligation to secure the Blessings of Liberty as a primary reason for its existence .

That's pretty bad for the antis, when the majority of HuffPo comments agree that an Oakland gun law would be useless and stupid. [Read]

And the Hits Just Keep on Coming

No sooner did Stanley Fish get done calling us un-American than Charlie Blow calls us paranoids. [Read]

Add Julian Bond calling us Taliban racists and the demonization is complete. Except for the part about us being hicks with small dicks.

There is no question we are in a cold civil war these evil fools are trying to ignite. There can be no peace with such as these.

They will not allow it.

The options are surrender or victory.


I Know You Are, But What Am I

What else do you expect Stanley Fish to say? [Read]

The one thing he and his fellow travelers never will is what their personal line in the sand for resisting tyranny would be. That's because they want an unchallengeable monopoly of violence, and can't conceive that when an idiot's usefulness has expired, he will too.

Actually, the one thing that caught my eye more than Stanley's steaming was this comment:
At one time, Benedict Arnold was a war hero, too. I guess Combat Vet didn't understand that oath he took?  And if his batteries were so effective, I guess victory has been declared and liberty established wherever he deployed them?

The one thing I don't understand though, is where in this country, and under what circumstances, he'd use those five-inch shells?  Since it's not exactly like a "We are everywhere" resistance would obligingly line up on the green in Wellington-style squares...

And some of them are combat vets.

It's not exactly like you can go to that group the Founders deemed "necessary to the security of a free State" for help in a time of need, is it?

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

We're the Only Ones Making House Calls Enough

Based on the video documentation, the only ones who should be going to jail are the police officers who found it necessary to break in the door of a law abiding American for refusing to submit to an unlawful order. [More
But of course, the way it will work is the homeowners will be charged with interference, resisting arrest, assaulting police officers...
