Terrorpunk

My band is called “terrorists” by democraticunderground.com [More]

What, the cybercommies don't really support free speech?

They run like little informants to the polizei?

Huh. I didn't hear an actionable threat.

Incidentally, I owe Michael Dean a book review. It's just that I had other books in the queue, like this one, and wanted to submit them to the magazine, which has lead times of months.

Which also explains why you haven't heard much from me on Matt Bracken's latest.

I expect to remedy both obligations in the next few days--although it won't appear in print for a while, I intend to say something about all three of these books after I submit them to the mag.

Did I mention words like "excellent" and "you owe it to yourself to read all of these"?

Supreme Court to Hear Chicago Gun Ban Case

The case is Otis McDonald, et al., Petitioners v. City of Chicago, Illinois.

Here are some resources that will point you to additional information... [More]

Today's decision necessitated a second Gun Rights Examiner column.

Two in a Row!

The tyranny of government [More]

Dang! No sooner does Steven Lynes get a letter published in The Lompoc Record then they go and print another one!

Way cool.

We made a good dent in the comments section yesterday. Why not do a repeat today?

That idiot "Red" looks ripe for laughing at.

Fight Like a Girl!

"I fired endlessly. The militant commander got 12 shots on his body." [More]

Good story.

I'm not sure I'm buying it.

A Rain Check

The next political move: Alabama "Rainy Day Patriots" are going to take the fight to the enemy: the state-run media outlet, CNN. [More]

Mike hopes to see some Threeper flags.

But that presupposes you've bought one, doesn't it...?

Does Prosecutor Blame Gun Rights for Police Shootings?

Is our choice to put ourselves in more danger from criminals if we don't arm vs. putting ourselves in more danger from the "Only Ones" if we do? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a rather remarkable apportionment of blame.

This Day in History: September 30

However, General Washington is in a Condition tolerably respectable, and the Militia are now turning out, from Virginia, Maryland and Pensilvania, in small Numbers. All the Apology that can be made, for this Part of the World is that Mr. Howes march from Elke to Philadelphia, was thro the very Regions of Passive obedience. The whole Country thro which he passed, is inhabited by Quakers. There is not such another Body of Quakers in all America, perhaps not in all the World. [More]

A Little Help?

Steven Lynes got a letter published in The Lompoc Record decrying the increasing militarization of the police.

Naturally, the authoritah worshipers are aghast.

A Daughter of the Faith

In January, I watched a minister, a rabbi, and two professional peacemakers... [More]

...what? Go into a bar?

No, this religious joke is even grimmer.

Ah, the piety that is Monica Yant Kinney...

Interesting how important faith is to the left.

Funny how the only time they ever seem to invoke it is in the worship of their god, the state.

Curious how the goal is to eliminate all heresy...

Not that she wouldn't howl like a harridan if you tried to impose your religious convictions on public policy...

And just what the hell is a "professional peacemaker" anyway? Is that some kind of Orwellian NewSpeak for traitors who won't stop until they push better men beyond the point of endurance?

A Simple Idea

Here’s a simple idea: You can be for the rights of law-abiding gun owners but also for common-sense policies to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. [More]

I agree--if by "simple idea" he means only a simpleton would swallow his deceptive rant.

Howard Nemerov does a good job explaining why.

Never in Her Wildest Dreams

When Sally Harpold bought cold medicine for her family back in March, she never dreamed that four months later she would end up in handcuffs. [More]

Of course she never dreamed it.

Only a fascist would.

The kind who would use the Nuremberg defense:

“I’m simply enforcing the law as it was written,” Alexander said.

We've laughed a bit at the Brits today. It's not like large swaths of our own republic aren't under the thumb of tyranny-enabling martinets.

Council hires hoodie spies to rummage through bins and see what is being thrown away [More]

Hey, it's a lot safer than going after shotgun rapists.

And besides, someone's gotta reinforce the team of crack Wheelie Bin Warriors. And don't even get me started on the Sausage Squad...

We're the Only Ones Helping a Friend Enough

Taylor, on trial in obstruction of justice case, is accused of using his office to help friend avoid drunk-driving charge. [More]

And if you have no "Only One" friends, then what?

We're the Only Ones Favorable Enough

Police officer accused of taking money for favors [More]

I'm stunned.

If we can't trust a Baton Rouge "Only One," who can we trust?

AGITATE, AGITATE and AGITATE

And the question simply is: “WHAT CAN I DO?”

There is only one answer to that question. It was first given by the great abolition leader, Frederick Douglass, to a young protégé who posed that question to him. He answered with three words: AGITATE, AGITATE and AGITATE. [More]

Continued wisdom from Tom McClintock...

We're the Only Ones Concrete Enough

A nitpicking cop crackdown on concrete at Ground Zero is costing taxpayers millions and snarling construction at the already behind-schedule Freedom Tower and other structures at the site, cement suppliers say.

Cops harass their mixing trucks with inspections that take so long, the concrete starts to harden and can't be used, the firms say. [More]

Maybe they just don't have the right placards...?

What a great idea--make uniformed public employee union goons the "Only Ones" who can carry guns. Then turn them loose to do strong-arm shakedowns.

The corruption is just so blatant. What "a wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Good. Keep on making enemies, boys.

Squeeze.

We're the Only Ones with Ugly Plaque Build-Up Enough

The NYPD cop in charge of the city's crackdown on parking-placard abuses has been booted from his post after one of the coveted cards turned up on the windshield of a gal pal's car, The Post has learned. [More]

Not that I would ever suggest a little quim...uh quid pro quo was going on, but we are talking "Furious Mike Only Ones" here...

Meanwhile, Over in "Furious Mike" Paradise

An eagle-eyed tourist captured dramatic photos of a young murderer calmly walking off moments after he fatally stabbed a passer-by on the steps of the main post office in Midtown, authorities said yesterday. [More]

I realize this was a matter of dumb luck, but I can't help thinking if you can sight someone with a camera, you could sight them with something else...

It's not like the police are able to protect anyone.
