Feds Follow Constitution!

See, it clearly says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." [Read]

They're not.

They're disrespecting it!  No problem.

Hey--does this mean we can't get EID stamps any more...?

Would Somebody Please Sic PETA...

...on this animal-murdering astroturf Fudd? [Read]

You know, in the spirit of CUM ULLA SELLA...?

Something Must Be Done!

The Gray Lady suffers Montezuma's Revenge and soils herself  [Read]

Hey, I just thought of a new statistic that might be helpful at putting things into perspective:

100% of Mexican crime guns are used illegally by criminals.

Without exception!

What is this, some sort of search for common ground?

It is hard to believe that most ordinary N.R.A. members would not agree something must be done about the cross-border sale of war weapons that underpins the drug scourge. 

Speaking only for myself, yeah, I do.  It's just not the same "something" you bloomer-soilers want done, which Kurt does a nice job explaining.

And as far as this goes:

If it takes an executive order to cut the carnage, President Obama should not hesitate.

You'd think people covering politics for as long as they have would be a lot smarter than that.

Well HERE'S the Problem...

If he'd have stuffed it in his undies, they'd have found it no problem. [Read]

Hey, maybe that could be a new requirement...

We're the Only Ones Distrusted Enough

Wait a minute...I thought the whole point behind assigning "Only Ones" powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men was that they're supposed to be MORE trusted... [Read]

It also looks like they could improve that trust if they instituted some kind of affirmative action program to shoot more white people...?

[Via Dave Licht]

Must've Taken a Wrong Turn in Albuquerque

Won't someone prosecute this family for not locking up their guns away from children? [Watch]

[Via David R]

We're the Only Ones Pawn Stars Enough

A 12-year veteran of the MARTA police force pleaded guilty to stealing more than $26,000 worth of equipment from his employer and then pawning it. [More]

You know, Atlanta, where only the "Only Ones" should have guns at the airport.

If you have a problem with that, weirdo, we suggest you don't advertise it.

[Via Harvey]

About That Money We Owe You...

We don't think we should have to--or that we owe you that much.  It's not like what you did was as complicated as being complex or anything with complicated complex complications... [Read]

Personally, I think Gura ought to send Don King to collect.  He has a way of uncomplicating things.

In Lieu of an Actual Alternative

Oropeza was a gungrabbing fascist control freak and Lieu is no better. [Read]

Of course, neither is Arnhole.

These people are bound and determined to continue down the path of self-destructive freedom repression, i.e., "progressivisim."

I guess those who haven't been completely ruined still have enough left over to help with the "too big to fail" bail out?

Police treat pro-gun bumper sticker as probable cause for pat down

I wonder if an NRA sticker would do it? Is this not a real-world example to prove the answer is "Yes"? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column demonstrates the inherent dangers of truth in advertising when the message advocates "Every One" instead of just "Only Ones."

Also get a comprehensive recap and resolve to make an introduction.

Resolve to introduce the link to your friends?

This Day in History: December 17

By the time Hamilton entered Vincennes on December 17, so many Indians had joined the expedition that his force had increased to 500 men. As Hamilton approached Fort Sackville, the French-Canadian militia under Captain Helm deserted, leaving the American commander and a few soldiers to surrender. The townsfolk promptly renounced their allegiance to the United States and renewed their oaths to King George. After the recapture of Vincennes, most of the Indians and Detroit militia went home. Hamilton settled in at Fort Sackville for the winter with a garrison of about 90 soldiers, planning to retake the remaining Illinois towns in the spring.


Conclusion: British Victory [More]

Some People Shouldn't Have Guns

Some people shouldn't have water. [Read]

My vote would be, since you can't trust him with it, don't let him have any.

We're the Only Ones Sharing the Christmas Spirit Enough

About 100 guests came and went from the celebration during the course of the evening, but only sheriff's deputies were involved in the scuffle.[More]

And it surprises anyone to think they're the "Only Ones" who can't celebrate non-violently why again? 


And oh look:

It was unclear if alcohol was involved, but sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said "it was a Christmas party, one could assume there was" drinking.

Better not let you and me carry into an Applebees though, even if we don't drink anything. We're just not as awesomely trustworthy as these trained professional "peace officers."

Not that we have to worry about that in L.A., that is, if we're part of the crowd that advocates enforcing existing gun laws.

Worth a Thousand Words

Actually, it's worth one.

No.

Not to me you won't.

We're the Only Ones Forced Busing Enough

One witness described the exchange saying, “The officer (Erin Robles) initially confronted the student over a cigar. Some words were exchanged and the officer “slammed the student into a wall, threw him on the ground, took out her Pepper Spray, slammed him into the bus, broke the window out of the bus with his head, sprayed him in the face and slammed him into the bus some more.” [More]

Hey, someone had to teach the kid that smoking is bad for his health.

This is Only a Test

Had this been an actual life-threatening security emergency, we would have locked you in place to ensure a contained supply of victims so that we would have time to get into protected positions. [Read]

It beats admitting the best chance for most of you is to stay moving and get the hell out by any and all means possible while armed adults protect you and make any foolish jackal rue the day it was weaned and went searching for easy flesh.

And oh, what a blood dance we'd have had afterward! Maybe we could even get Colin to be the DJ...

[Via Ed M]

The Shape of Things to Come?

It's what the shapers want. [Read]

How about you?

[Via Vanderboegh]

If We Could Only Find the Right Words

Should the Constitution be amended to give the states veto power over the federal government? [More]

Government doesn't obey its clear proscriptions now. What makes anyone think they won't show new rules the same disregard, and find new opportunities to exploit and new incentives to corrupt?

The deficiency isn't in the incantation.  It's in the compliance mechanism.

There's not enough "or else" in the cost/benefit ratio to dissuade those who would abuse into reconsidering what's in their rational self-interest.

 

Ultimately, we already have "veto power."
