MSN's Authority Showcase

Microsoft's MSN division, the same folks who, for a buck, partner with Chicom tyrants to censor free speech, are showcasing blogs that demonstrate their affinity for domestic authority worship.

Among the police-themed MSN Spaces sites featured this week, we find "The Hub," at the center of which is a self-described "problem solver" who includes among his "favorite things":

There is nothing quite like punching someone in the head and having it sound like a ripe melon.

His "favorite quote"? Boy, you could see this one coming a mile away:

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women. - Conan the Barbarian

In a post titled "More Holiday Cheer," he describes a recent arrest that elicits a chorus of admiring comments, including:

Hey Man - Happy New Year! Congrats on catching that bastard. Put a pink tutu on him and throw in the cell with the friendly chaps.

What's even more disgusting, the prison rape advocate isn't even a cop. But he expresses a sentiment promoted by no less an "authority" than California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, who had this to say about a man who hadn't (at the time) even been charged with a crime, let alone convicted:

I would love to personally escort [Enron CEO Ken Lay] to an 8-by-10 cell that he could share with a tattooed dude who says, 'Hi, my name is Spike, honey.'

Lockyer, of course, says you have no right to own a gun, and if his cop minions catch you with one he doesn't approve of, they'll do their best to throw you into a population of "Spikes".

That is, assuming you survive the dynamic entry, and your skull withstands the "ripe melon" treatment.

How telling. Microsoft/MSN closes down websites that challenge authority, and publicizes those that promote it. That makes them, and there's no getting around this, a fascist organization, one that suppresses the cause of liberty and advances that of the global police state--as long as it serves their bottom line.

I trust no one is surprised?

Do You Know What Day It Is?

It's "Second Amendment Saturday," a recurring feature over at The Transcending Sovereignty.

Recommendations

Now, let's go out on a limb and say that this was actually a viable idea. How does a criminal, who doesn't want his firearm found, circumvent this system? Two ways: remove the battery or wrap the antenna with aluminum foil. If you don't believe me, try it with your cell phone. That's all; he's done.

So, in summary, please consider these two recommendations. Not only will you save yourself the appearance of complete stupidity, you will save gun bloggers time as well.

Gun Law News has two recommendations for the idiot Boston councilman who wants to mandate GPS chips in guns.

I have another recommendation for him, but they're not words I'd want to commit to any record.

Finger Lickin' Foolishness

Alphecca tells us PETA freak Pamela Anderson wants a bust honoring Col. Sanders removed from Kentucky's State Capitol.

This reminds me of the old "Police Squad" gag:

Is this some kind of bust?

Yes, very nice...

We're the Only Ones Accountable Enough...

The Long Beach Police Department is missing more than a fourth of its shotguns and an unknown number of revolvers, officials said Thursday.

See, that's why we need to register your and my guns--to keep stuff like this from happening.

If ever manufacturers deserved to get sued for irresponsible distribution...

Truth Laid Low

Most bloggers want to have a link on popular sites. I want off of one.

You'll note WarOnGuns perpetually hovering near the bottom of the list of the Gunbloggers page, but if you click on the details link, you'll see it's not found. Plus, my site updates never appear there.

I know the initial cause was my fault--I didn't know what I was doing when I set things up after noticing my blog appear there.

I've approached NZ numerous times about this over the past several months, even filling out work orders--and finally asked to just be removed from his site. I can't even get the decency of a reply.

Bottom line--I know there are many more popular blogs than this, but I also don't think the efforts I put into this site deserve to be under-represented this way. I know the guy is busy--news flash--we all are. I'll match demands on my time to just about anyone. Ignoring repeated polite requests is just plain rude.

I want off Truth Laid Bear. It is a proven unreliable resource, and the attention to correcting things sucks. I don't want to have anything to do with them and just want them to forget I exist.

Just take me off the site, NZ, and I won't bother you any more. I promise.

We're the Only Ones Nurturing and Protective Enough...

An Oklahoma police chief has been charged with second-degree rape of a 15-year-old girl, reportedly spending nights with the teenager before taking her home and then giving her mom, the city's librarian, a lift to work.

Two questions come to mind:

1. What the hell was her mother doing? and

2. When he took his date out to dinner, did she prefer Happy or Big Kids Meals?

Police Say Prisoner Kills Himself With Concealed Gun

Durrett patted White down before he placed him in the patrol car, Sheriff Mike Cleveland said. The sheriff said he didn't think White was handcuffed.

If this is what happened, that's damned sloppy police work, deputy. You're lucky it wasn't you who got shot.

Then all the blooddancers could have made you a martyr, blamed the gun, and called for more "common sense gun laws."

Marvel at My Power!

Ravenwood has noticed my awesome prescience.

Actually, looking around various sites after the Marion Barry story broke, I noticed the speculation that he was probably trying to score was pretty widespread. How could you know anything about the guy and not suspect that?

The only times my abilities as an oracle prove infallible are when I know I'm going to get in trouble for something. It's spooky how right I am about that.

The Nice Policeman is Your Friend

Police arrested a 27-year-old man after he allegedly reported his gun stolen, but then found it in his car.

Now what did we all learn from this?

What Have They Got to Hide?

Correspondent Mike Battaglia writes:

I was reading a story about Cory Maye.

You might remember it. A young black man in Mississippi with no criminal record and an 18 month old daughter has cops invade his home during the middle of the night. It hasn't been determined whether or not they identified themselves, but Corey thought them to be intruders and fired at them. He ended up killing the Sheriff's son. Turns out they'd raided the wrong duplex. They were looking for marijuana, they didn't find any in his duplex. In any case, I had an epiphany. Let me explain.

Cops have nothing to hide, right? The government and political pundits tells us we shouldn't worry about surveillance if we have nothing to hide.

So, therefore, I propose making law enforcement officers wear cameras that can record audio and video while on duty. This would cut down on them screwing around, possible corruption, excessive force, etc. There'd be penalties if they deliberately tampered with it. At the end of each day they have to turn in the cameras. If there's any complaints against them, the video is reviewed by a civilian panel on that particular day on the incident that a complaint was received about.

I mean, cops are supposed to be the most upstanding and law-abiding of us all, right? Therefore, they shouldn't have anything to hide. Cameras are so small these days they could fit one on 'em just fine without any problems. It would avoid these type of situations and create accountability. They don't have anything to hide...do they?

I like it. Of course, the mandate would need to be done at the state level, since there's no delegated Constitutional authority for the fedgov to involve themselves in this. But it's an interesting speculation, if for no other reason than to throw the police statist's arguments back in their faces.

Here's a nice fantasy: Perhaps some day, We the People will reassert authority over our servants and force this to happen...

Do You Know Where Your Gun Is?

The ten ring informs us of the latest ludicrous proposal from those demanding a monopoly of power: Mandatory GPS installed on guns.

It'll just be a matter of time before they mandate electronic shut-off switches.

Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions

"Senator, I'm not being reviewed for a position as an editorialist; I'm being reviewed for a position as a Supreme Court Justice. How complicated is it for you to understand that my personal opinions have NO BEARING on how I would rule on a question of law?

"Our Constitutional Right to Bear Arms..."

Fine words coming from a Maryland sheriff, albeit one passing out pitchfork murderer-enabling gadgets.

I wonder if he understands what an unalienable right is, and more specifically, the meaning of "shall not be infringed"?

Their website (sorry, they use frames so I can't drill you in to a specific page) offers us some clues.

Under "Community Services," we see a "Firearm Safety Certification Course," where we're informed:

Anyone who wants to purchase a handgun in Maryland must attend this course. The course consists of classroom instruction only. NO HANDGUNS ARE PEMITTED [sic].

So in order to exercise a Constitutional right, you need their prior "pemission". And, when in their presence, or apparently wherever else they deem not "pemitted", you may not exercise your Constitutional right.

I'm glad we cleared that up.

Guilty of What?

North Shore prosecutors' efforts to crack down on individuals, especially gang members, who use illegal firearms coincides with the opening of two Boston gun court sessions..."Introducing a gun as evidence goes a long way to getting a defendant to plead guilty," Suffolk District Attorney's spokesman David Procopio said.

Note the lead paragraph said "individuals, especially gang members..."

That means not just hardened criminals could be caught in the "gun court" trap.

So we ought to be asking ourselves "Guilty of what?"

A crime of violence?

Or possession of something we're supposed to have the unifringed right to keep and bear?

If It Ain't Broke, Fix It

The Swiss government on Wednesday recommended to parliament that all gun owners must obtain a permit...As soon as the accord comes into effect, unauthorized possession will be considered an infringement of the law.

This is a sad development. While many areas of firearms possession won't be affected (yet), the precedent has been set for further encroachment. And note how the concern is for infringement of laws, not infringement of rights.

The European Union eroding their sovereignty is just about the biggest sell-out the Swiss people could have allowed their politicians to do to them, and a complete betrayal of their history and traditions. Once alliances are formed, the neutrality that has kept them out of the horrible conflicts of the last century will begin to dissolve.

It's suicidal, and it's a damned shame.

UPDATE: Just went over to KABA, and many of the comments are along the lines of "If it ain't broke..." Great minds think alike and all that...
