In fact you went to heroic measures to defend them. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes bad habits are hard to break when there's no personal downside and plenty of incentives to keep them.

DHS once more relying on SPLC-inspired conflation in domestic threat report
Deeming eight incidents since 2010 as representing a trend of sorts from which unsubstantiated extrapolations of an "increased threat" can be made, the report presents a timeline graphic in a weak attempt to make its case. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a Big Lie in the making, one that just may result in finding ourselves labeled criminal domestic enemies. At least that's the outcome some are hoping for.

We're the Only Ones BeKnighted Enough
Two sources who have seen the recordings say the videos depict Williams’ young daughter dressed in what appear to be articles of a police uniform and dancing to an anthem of the Ku Klux Klan. The refrain of the song repeats the words, “Stand up and be counted, show the world that you’re a man. Stand up and be counted, go with the Ku Klux Klan.” [More]How dare an Only One belong to a race, color, ethnicity or creed-based group.

A Top-Tier Felony
For years, the FBI has filed animal abuse under the label "other" along with a variety of lesser crimes, making cruelty hard to find, hard to count and hard to track.

Still Putting the "Eh" in "Boner"
Boehner rakes in cash for openly gay Republican candidate [More]I don't care about that. What I care about is where this Carl DeMaio character stands on the key issue, and on issues inextricably related to it.
They don't even appear on his home page "Issues" tab-- you have to pick "Other Issues" from a drop-down menu.
Carl DeMaio supports the Second Amendment. The President and the Congress must act now to forge a consensus to improve enforcement for background checks and to keep weapons out of the hands of those with serious mental health issues and criminal history.F*** this DeMao guy. Not literally.
Carl DeMaio supports sensible immigration reform that secures our borders, protects taxpayers, keeps families together, treats immigrants fairly and with respect, provides an accountable, timely, and transparent process for individuals who follow the rules and comply with our laws to achieve their citizenship.
And f**** Old Yellowstain.
