Notes from the Resistance...
Presumably he only thinks white gun owners should be shot, because while he didn’t come right out and say so, were his “standard” to be applied as a condition of gun ownership for blacks, particularly if the cop doing the shooting were white, something tells me he wouldn’t approve. [More]Who wants to be this moron's huckleberry? Mind if he brings some friends from the Salon editorial staff along to help him...?
Two young teens, bored, with nothing going on during summer break, decide to break into a house "to see what it's like". What they didn't expect was that someone was home. [More]Tonight on "Stop the Threat."
Mary Anne Franks, another self-defense expert, urged lawmaker to reject the legislation. Franks is a law professor at the University of Miami who specializes in self-defense law and is also an instructor in Krav Maga, a Israeli form of hand-to-hand self-defense.
"Guns are highly effective in committing crimes. They are rarely effective in preventing them,” Franks said. [More]What a dolt[ress?]. What kind of "expert" presumes to issue sweeping one-size-fits-all pronouncements to anticipate all situations?
"The case will be so damning, the political effect will be the same as if they had sought an indictment," said Napolitano. [More]Sorry, judge. All it will do is make each opposing side dig its heels in deeper.
Because, US FAA regulations prohibited an actual demonstration... [More]Assuming it's not restricted to government only, I'll be surprised if this isn't shut down.
Take this, gutless NRA cowards — you can have a gun, once you understand the pain of being shot. [More]
A retired NYPD officer from Staten Island is accused of pulling a gun on subway rider after allegedly getting caught fondling himself on the platform in Manhattan. [More]Why wouldn't he feel like he could do anything he wanted with impunity in front of or to his inferiors?
The rest of the world will see the images of gun-toting civilians standing in defiance of their government as evidence of the reactionary element of America that they find so distasteful. [More]It's the ones the world doesn't see who will make the real difference.
WHITE HOUSE PRAISES PAUL RYAN FOR WORKING WITH OBAMA ON TRADE AND IMMIGRATION [More]That's all the endorsement I need for Obama's Choice.
So there is no apparent disconnect when anti-gun Rosie O'Donnell displays armed "Star Wars" figurines while praising this newest release. There is no incredulity when "Phantom Menace" co-star Natalie Portman (the lightpistol-packing Queen Amidala of Theed) tells Rosie "I'm proud of you, your power, and talking about what you believe in."
As someone who has played the title role in Broadway's "The Diary of Anne Frank," you'd think Ms. Portman would know only too well the evil real life consequences of population disarmament. Instead, she vacuously asserts, "I'm in high school too, and I know what you're talking about...this stuff is hitting my school now too. Somebody's got to say something about it and not be afraid to do so."
And the audience cheers. After all, she's beautiful, successful, self-assured– what more do you need to be considered an authority in this era of image over substance? Yet they can't wait to see this privileged dilettante lead a make-believe armed retinue against the forces of darkness (as opposed to hiding in an attic with her unarmed family before being dragged off to a death camp).Oh, and look who's releasing this.
The new system is called the equal interval scale. Essentially, it makes it harder to get a failing grade. It departs from the traditional A to F scale in which students receive F’s for scores below 59 percent. Instead, the scale awards F’s only for scores below 20 percent. [More]Why not? It'll help bolster the aptitude test-based contention about how U.S. kids are doing so much worse than the rest of the world in math and science, and the resulting perception that more money needs to be poured into "education."
FBI: No way to screen 'refugees' coming to U.S. [More]So would the humane thing to do be to let 'em all in and let Allah sort it out, or to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity?
