Give Me Your Huddled Masses, Yearning to Vote Democrat

"[C]omprehensive immigration legislation, including a plan to make legal status possible for an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants, would be a priority in his first year in office." [More]

I see a lot of comments on "conservative" Internet sites complaining bitterly about this.

Sorry, but what did we expect Obama to do with the windfall handed him? That's like blaming a snake for biting.

Thank John McCain, George Bush, the US Chamber of Commerce, and the neo-con "leaders" of the Stupid Party for handing the socialists a democrat majority on a silver platter.

The GOP had eight years in the White House and a majority in both house of Congress to fix this and they betrayed every member of their core constituency by not doing so--and by pushing their own brand of amnesty. As if that would have made the socialists stop hating them.

This is the result of We the People settling for what is presented as "pragmatism" instead of insisting on principle. If we had made a practice of routinely throwing RINOs under the bus instead of supporting them because "otherwise a democrat would win," the lesson would have been learned after a couple sacrifices--and even (especially) those with malleable "principles" would toe the line out of sheer survival instinct.

As pal Steiger observes, "We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned."

We're the Only Ones Putting that Old Spark Back into Our Marriage Enough

The chief of a small Central Texas town's police department has been fired and jailed for allegedly using a Taser gun on his wife. [More]

And it's not the first time:

Court records show in December of 2003, while Ivy was not employed by a police department, he was charged with domestic violence.

So naturally, "the city never did a background check." They just set him loose on the community because after all, who rules whom?

Violent "Only Ones." I only wish I could say that's shocking.

ABC Plans Hit Piece on Guns

When it comes to protecting yourself, you may think "if I only had a gun." But if you had a gun, could you protect yourself in a crisis? How easy is it to obtain a gun? And what explains the nearly irresistible attraction of young people to firearms? Diane Sawyer investigates, with reporting by David Muir, on "If I Only Had a Gun," airing on "20/20," Friday, April 10 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. The hour also features hidden camera experiments and expert analysis. [More]

Our "experts".

Resolution of Obama Birth Controversy at Hand?

A friend sent me a link to a story about an Oklahoma City police officer pulling a motorist over for having an "Abort Obama Not the Unborn" sign on his car. The sign was confiscated and the Secret Service investigated. [More]

Many of you are aware that there is a vocal effort being waged challenging Obama's "natural born citizen" credentials. While supporters predictably dismiss this as sour grapes by right wing kooks, the issue is divisive enough that we as Americans deserve to see it unequivocally resolved without partisan rhetoric from either side.

The thought strikes--while the sign was eventually returned, motorist Chip Harrison's First Amendment right was temporarily abridged. He ought to have legal recourse for that.

Since the alleged violation he committed involved a threat against the president, wouldn't determining if the person he was accused of threatening actually was the president be admissible?

Perhaps if Harrison does not have standing, anyone currently charged with making a threat against the president ought to have their attorney explore this further...

"Not a Scientific Survey"

Obama gets an "F." [More]

It may not be scientific, but 1,924,174 responses is significant, and the overwhelming negative response may tell us something about the level of feeling of one group vs. another.

The Gatekeeper of All Knowledge

How did "The Outer Limits" begin?

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission.

Does anyone need further proof that "Authorized Journalists" suppress news that is vital to a free society and does not support their socialist political agenda? The same socialist talking about reimposing the Orwellian "Fairness Doctrine"?

They're not just propagandists, they are co-conspirators.

One can only hope this arrogant **** will be astonished some day. [More]

What Does Obama's Weather Control Plan Have to Do with Gun Rights?

Regular Gun Rights Examiner readers will recall we discussed U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly's ruling on carrying guns in national parks. Her bottom line was, it could not be allowed without an environmental impact study.

Think how much less of an impact the very rare occurrences of a peaceable armed citizen firing a gun in self-defense would have on the environment than, say, "shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays." Or, for that matter, "reducing greenhouse gases." [More]

Perhaps, by capitalizing on the CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO TABERNA philosophy, we can set things up so that leftists collide...

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column explores the megalomaniacal control freakishness that is Obama and the Congress.

Also read more about the Gallup Poll on gun attitudes, be reminded of an important resistance movement, find out where Oath Keepers will be on April 19, and, of course, read the latest from my fellow GREs.

Like Listening to an Old Comrade

“It was almost like listening to an old friend,” said Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Il.), adding that he found Castro’s home to be modest and Castro’s wife to be particularly hospitable. [More]

Who all wants to disarm for Bobby?

We're the Only Ones Observant Enough

A parking enforcement officer issued a ticket for a pickup truck outside an Alabama emergency room while a woman lay dead inside the vehicle, authorities said. [More]

OK, I have an "Only Ones" bet here--that in several months we'll hear about this story again because the ticket will not have been paid and they'll be booting or impounding the car or some such.

J'Accuse

A new Ohio law allows judges who issue protection orders against suspected stalkers to also have them monitored electronically.

The law requires the offender to pay for the monitoring, to be conducted by a sheriff's office or other law-enforcement agency. [More]

New Gallup Poll on Guns

In Gallup polling conducted prior to last week's gun massacre at an immigrant center in Binghamton, N.Y., only 29% of Americans said the possession of handguns by private citizens should be banned in the United States. While similar to the 30% recorded in 2007, the latest reading is the smallest percentage favoring a handgun ban since Gallup first polled on this nearly 50 years ago. [More]

Just got this from the folks at Gallup. I haven't had time to digest it yet but don't want to let that delay me from bringing it to you for review and comment.

I'll be interested in seeing the "after" numbers.

I will say, as with all such media polls I've seen, there's no way to establish the knowledge of respondents with the issue. Hell of a thing when policy is driven by ignorance, and as we continually see, engineered ignorance at that.

Jesse's Unintended Consequences

The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson called the recent spate of killings "domestic terrorism" and said he hoped the slaughter would be a wake-up call for policymakers.

"You can't grow businesses in war zones," said Jackson, who recently visited cities beset by gun violence. "You can't go to school in war zones. You can't play in the park in war zones." [More]

And those of us who keep an eye on such things know what Jesse's "solution" is. He wants to disarm those of us who have the means of defense--the ones who aren't initiating violence, and who want to be left alone.

You know, start a war with us.

We're the Only Ones "Naked Gun" Enough

A veteran Louisville Metro Police officer and three others were shot in Okolona early Wednesday morning after a naked man managed to gain control of the officer's gun. [More]

Wasn't officer weapon retention during takeaway incidents the reason "smart gun" development was justified and funded--before they became the "Only Ones" exempt?

"Licensed to Kill?"

They had more in common than unleashing carnage — nearly every gunman in this monthlong series of mass killings was legally entitled to fire his weapons. [More]

"Licensed to kill"?

"Entitled to fire his weapons"?

Gee, a bit of manipulative wordsmithing going on there, eh MSNBC?

I know the meme they're trying to promulgate is that the political right is responsible for gun owner paranoia, but when we see outright lies coming from the treasonous "Authorized Journalist" left that are clearly designed to poison public perception against our unalienable rights, what they're doing becomes clear to anyone with eyes.

They are fueling the fear that is out there. They're counting on the weak-minded falling for it.

More blood to dance in--more "justification" for their agenda--disarming us--what they say we're paranoid for believing and criminal for repeating.

It's nice to see Big Hollywood providing a forum for the right to keep and bear arms. And it's nice to see Robert J. Avrech being one of the voices.
