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."

A "Pro-Gun" Democrat

Gov. Ted Strickland endorsed Hillary Clinton for president yesterday and will campaign with her in Iowa today, fueling speculation that he will be on Clinton's short list of possible running mates next year if she wins the Democratic nomination.

But he's our friend!

I don't suppose it's occurred to anyone that we're being played, or as Stieger says:

We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned.

Think about it--"The Winning Team" helped put him in office--over an A-rated Republican, one supported, incidentally, by GOA and various state grassroots groups. He then endorses their biggest enemy, and she in turn could give him the opportunity to vacate his office to an avowed anti--one everybody knew about in the campaign. There's a master chess strategy for you.

Even if these speculations don't come to pass, anyone who endorses Hillary has picked his priorities, and is no friend of gun owners.

I can't wait to hear the spin chastising me for not realizing that "politics is the art of the possible." How those who preemptively surrender and go for short-term opportunistic manipulation as part of the game plan can be authorities on what truly is possible lies beyond my poor ability to fathom.

About Those Bush Judicial Appointments

A federal District Court Judge has ruled that the privacy rights of illegal aliens convicted of heinous crimes in this country are more important than the public’s right to know if the government is properly enforcing a key immigration law.

Amazing as the ruling itself may be, what is even more stunning is the fact that U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Richard J. Leon was affirming the Bush administration’s position in the case. President Bush nominated Leon in 2001 and the Senate confirmed him in February 2002.

It's not stunning to me at all. It's part of a pattern I have come to expect. Just like with another one of Bush's nominees, Reggie Walton, who ruled the Second Amendment a collective, rather than an individual right.

Which brings to mind a favorite quote by a pal of mine:

We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned.--Steiger

Much Ado About Something (Our Bad ... Nothing)

FBI Director Comey says agency won’t recommend charges over Clinton email [More]

Who didn't see that coming?

Ready for the election to be rigged?

UPDATE after having time to mull all this over, including all the other stuff that's given people hope that one of the new "revelations" is gong to be the final straw:

The safest course every time we hear something new is to assume we're being played again.  That includes reports that FBI insiders were upset with Comey on one side, and Hillary/Lynch were upset with him on the other. Looks to me like he played his part to lead everyone to the conclusion that there's no fire in all the smoke.

That's what the propaganda press is now telling them.

To quote a friend from years past:

We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned.

The thing is, though, it's not done without unintended consequences -- look at how many good Americans are convinced of that and fed up.

We need to not be the ones to act impulsively and in anger. Some are counting on the more impulse control-challenged doing just that. Some are trying to provoke it.

No Matter What

The numbers told a shocking story: irrespective of whether the country quarantined like Israel, or went about business as usual like Sweden, coronavirus peaked and subsided in the exact same way. In the exact, same, way.  [More]

Anybody else getting the feeling we've been bare-ass naked in the town square conned?

#STUPIDPARTY

Where is the special prosecutor for Hillary and Barack? [More]

I wonder if stupidity is really the explanation -- just like I questioned the "Not evil just wrong" presumption.

I'm more inclined to believe in a combination of Quigley's maxim backed up with compelling incentives courtesy of Dolly the Love Ewe.

Or as old pal Steiger once noted:

We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned.

'Cripple' is an Understatement

North Korea has threatened to launch an electromagnetic pulse attack that could shut down the United States’ power grid — causing months of blackouts that could bring society to a halt, with rampant crime and social chaos. [More]

I wish I could say that if this happens, it will finally teach Americans the value of the Second Amendment. But I'm recalling the L.A. Riots, when sleepers woke up and realized they needed a gun -- and couldn't get one thanks to all those "progressive" infringements.  Funny thing is, when it was over, they went right back to voting for their disarmers.

I also can't shake the nagging feeling that Big Brother is ginning everybody up for the Two Minutes Hate. We've been bare-ass naked in the town square conned so many times before.
