"An American Prayer"

This is the church you can't see...[More]

After that bit about the bad "Cyder" in today's history lesson, I thought we could all use a nice sudsy flushing out, and who better to provide it than this crew of celebrities? Click on the title link for the best total system purger I've yet found. And I do apologize in advance.

We started out at the Cult of Set with Thulsa Doom and watched him shape-shift into that elevated being known as The Lightworker. Others have taken to calling him the Obamessiah.

The thing is, it's his disciples who define him. These people are praying. The question now becomes "to whom?" and I fail to see any god mentioned in this tribute other than the one being worshipped tonight at the Greek temple.

We see the adoring devotees, heads bowed in reverence, hands folded in prayer: Forest Whitaker (who must be one hell of an actor), Jason Alexander, Barry Manilow...

And here's something we've seen before--the military did nothing when a Marine uniform was used to promote Hillary, possibly because it was from a movie clip--but this guy takes an active part in the "Hail Damien" chanting, that is, endorsing a political candidate while in uniform.

If the fascist media pigs can exploit the imagery of uniformed servicemen for political ends, we all ought to be able to.

Still--I thought the rich socialists were big on separation of church and state. At least I used to think that...

Instant Manufacturer

The new BATFE ruling...equates many basic gunsmithing functions with manufacturing, and would seem to force many current Type 01-Gunsmith FFL holders into re-upping ASAP as Type07 FFL manufacturers, or face being in violation of a shipload of regulations. So, without futher racket, here is the text of the letter I sent to ATF, looking for clarification.

Sean Galt weighs in on the latest BATFU power grab. Note I had to view his site in either Firefox or Safari. For some reason, IE, at least on my machine, brings up a lot of formatting code.

This Day in History: August 28

As nothing is more pernicious to the health of Soldiers, nor more certainly productive of the bloody-flux; than drinking New Cyder: The General in the most possitive manner commands, the entire disuse of the same, and orders the Quarter Master General this day, to publish Advertisements, to acquaint the Inhabitants of the surrounding districts, that such of them, as are detected bringing new Cyder into the Camp, after Thursday, the last day of this month, may depend on having their casks stove.

We're the Only Ones Taking a Spin in the Park Enough

Stealing a scene from a hit movie, two Brooklyn cops used their patrol car to "do doughnuts" in a Bay Ridge park, a woman who witnessed the crazy stunt said Monday.

The cigar-chomping officers tore through a baseball field at Shore Road Park in Bay Ridge, spinning the car wildly in circles and almost hitting a pair of kids on tricycles...

"I was shocked - it was startling," Hagan said. "The police car came within inches of killing two little children."

At least they were doing them instead of eating them.

Also, I thought Bloomberg was, among other things, a tobacco-Nazi. I can't believe New York "Only Ones" are allowed to smoke in city cars.

The Temple of the Gods

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple. [More]

I guess the Temple of Ba'al was already booked that night...

Olofson Appeal Filed

We're the Only Ones Officially Misconducting Ourselves Enough

A former Harvey police detective is scheduled to stand trial Sept. 9 on charges he removed from police custody a gun that was evidence in a criminal case.

Hollis Dorrough Jr., of Chicago's Marquette Park neighborhood, is charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, official misconduct and unlawful sale of a firearm, all felonies.

A Harvey "Only One."

I was wondering when they were finally going to get around to doing this.

Smackdown in Rosendale

He said Hinchey approached the table and picked up one of the guns to look at it. Lendvay said he told the congressman to put the rifle down - noting that part of the NRA's agreement with Rosendale police was that no one except the people manning the table would be allowed to touch the weapons - and that when Hinchey "took his sweet time" in obliging, an argument ensued.

During the argument, Lendvay said, Hinchey approached him where he sat and "hit me on the top of my head."

I don't get this letting people smack you--maybe I just haven't been stomped hard enough yet.

I note that GOA gives Hinchey an "F"--so why the interest in guns, unless he's a hypocrite? And why the resorting to violence? Might projection explain his mistrust?

I also think that I am responsible for guns under my control. If I don't want people picking them up or handling them, I don't make them accessible. At a public event like this, I'd have constructed a glass-topped locked display case for a few dollars worth of materials and a couple hours of my time.

777

A man who claims two off-duty police officers kicked, punched and pistol-whipped him in a case of road rage has filed a $25 million lawsuit.

We talked about this here.

I have mixed feelings about this.

Injustice should not be treated like winning the jackpot. The people paying will be everybody who didn't do it.

I have no problem financially ruining the criminals who did this to him. And if it turns out their "superiors" had culpability for a climate tolerating citizen abuse, go after them, too.

I dunno--maybe the citizens deserve to pay, too--they continue to vote in oppressors to rule them with enforcers...

Obama Plop

Three men...are facing only gun charges — a signal that officials believe they never posed a real threat.

So what's with the "Obama Plot" headline hysteria?

Rejecting the Obvious

But many African-American lawmakers don’t see the “public gatherings” law as a civil rights issue. In fact, at the Capitol, black lawmakers have been some of the leading backers of gun-control legislation over the years.

I don't know what you can do about so-called "leaders" who are offended by reminders that freedom is bought at great personal sacrifice by those willing to die--or kill if left no choice--for it.

Except ignore them if you're serious.

Especially when anyone with eyes and a willingness to look can see that Liberty is not, and never has been, a privilege bequeathed by government.

A Student Waiver

"As far as I'm concerned, teachers were trained to educate my children — not carry a gun. Even police officers need years of training in hostage situations," said Traci McKay, whose three children are among the 110 students in the red-brick Harrold school. "I don't want my child looking over her shoulder wondering who's carrying a gun."

If you think about it, it's the first time for the shooter, too. Still, maybe the school could come up with some sort of waiver for Traci to sign--in case of an armed attack, her children are not to be saved except by responding "Only Ones"...

This Day in History: August 27

...I received Information that a large body of Indians of the Six nations were to be here as on tuesday last, And that my presence was Indispensibly necessary. I therefore Attended and on Wednesday the Congratulatory Ceremony was performed, and On Friday the Treaty agreable to their request was opened by them, By giving an Answer to the Messages that had been sent them by the Committee of this place In this speach they Anticipated part of what we had in charge to deliver them, being (as we concieved) Apprehensive that we should request them to take Arms in our Cause; they explicitly declared that as It was a family quarrel, they would not Interfere, but remain neuter and hoped we would not desire more of them...

Just a Matter of Incentive

Security is being heightened along the southern U.S. border because of a threat that warring Mexican cartels may send hit men into the United States, authorities said Monday.

With firearms they bought at US gun shows, no doubt.

Hey, isn't it interesting how resources can be allocated when the feds want to?

A Credible Threat

Authorities are investigating whether a man arrested with rifles, ammunition and drugs in his truck made statements threatening Barack Obama, but emphasize he never posed a "credible threat" to the candidate or the Democratic National Convention.

Of course it was. Not to The Lightworker, to us.

Those who make up their minds from sound bites now have further media prompting to fear white men with scoped rifles, all spotlighted elements of the original report.

Forget that Nazis are socialists. Forget that we sober-minded patriots don't traffic in meth. Forget that freedom activists work toward Liberty for all human beings, not just those who share something as ridiculous as similar melanin concentrations.

What we have here are made-to-order SPLC white supremacist militia kooks, that is, the brush they wish to tar gun owners with. Conveniently outed by those aware of their activities at just the right time...

Boogedy-boogedy!

We're the Only Ones Domesticated Enough

The Putnam Sheriff's Department's domestic violence officer was arrested Friday night on a charge of domestic assault.

Good grief. Can it get more ironic?

So does this mean she'll be the "Only One" not voting for Bob Barr?

One Thing You Can't Hide...

The database used to produce the government's terror watch lists is "crippled by technical flaws," according to the chairman of a House technology oversight subcommittee—and the system designed to replace it may be even worse.

That may explain why the gunbashers want to use it to deny gun purchases...

Mr. Lennon? Your cue...
