A Win/Win

The ultimate RNC/GOPe goal is to get Jeb Bush on one side of the primary equation, and then see the DNC get Hillary Clinton on the other side. Together they represent a Win/Win for Wall Street regardless of general election outcome. [More]

Ah-- Tragedy and Hope. How much longer are the suckers gonna fall for that old con?

And the maneuvering to ensure that continues.

North Carolina, eh? Why does that not surprise me?

Say, anybody wanna buy a Liberty Medal...?

And How Did the Politicians Respond?

By lying through their teeth and ramming it down your throat in the dark of night. [More]

Oh, you mean"standard operating procedure."

No Waffling About It

There are plenty of other places that don't insult our freedom of choice and that serve better breakfasts anyway. [More]

This tells me Waffle House management knows better, but would still rather see their customers dead than armed. I think I'll find out if they'll sign one of these:

I'll let you know if they respond on either Facebook or Twitter.

This Blood's for You Redux

There's been a new development following yesterday's post.

They've got a suspect in custody-- naturally one with a long record.

Here's the "person of interest."

Say, he is interesting.  Especially posting that "If you can't walk, then crawl" quote.

If you're interested, visit his page before it gets taken down, which will probably be pretty soon judging from past Facebook responses.

A "Progressive" Honor

City Council honors Ethel Rosenberg for ‘great bravery’ [More]

What with it being Opposite Day in the Big Apple 'n all, I'm just surprised they didn't give Julius a Patriot Award.

A Singular Favour

[H]e did not only with fixed eyes upon the heavens confess the same, but also acknowledged it a singular favour and mercy of God, in that He did not strike him dead at once, but gave him space to seek repentance and reconciliation. [More]

So he didn't blame the gun?

Who's Responsible?

An inmate who escaped from a high-rise federal jail in Chicago has an unusual theory on who's to blame: He says the government was negligent in enabling the breakout, so he sued for $10 million for damages. [More]

This is actually a logical extension of prevailing finger-pointing and entitlement mentalities, that is, the same mentalities that blame "the gun lobby" and the gun. Talk about "chutzpah."

It's Official

Why is it even necessary to order law enforcement officials not to arm criminals? [More]

Or military officials not to arm terrorists?

And why is it the political officials behind it all move on to more lucrative endeavors?

Some Vets Demand ‘Gun Control’ in Spite of Oath

VanDiver is another in a long line of veterans who seem to have taken a different pledge than Oath Keepers did. We’ve seen anti-gun vets who served and even saw action like Al Gore and John Kerry, and on the Republican side, the late Sen. John Chaffee and current Senator Mark Kirk. All of them swore an oath to the Constitution, and all have embraced draconian citizen disarmament legislation in spite of the clear “shall not be infringed” proscription in the Bill of Rights. [More]

Just because you once served does not give you a right to betray your oath, as Ben here amply demonstrated.

Gabby Giffords Calls for Grace-Based Gun Control

Whenever religious conservatives broach theological concepts in government-occupied settings, many are quick to loudly complain, some by reminding everyone of Jefferson’s (misapplied) “wall of separation,” some by leveling “Taliban” accusations, and some with lawsuits and even arrests. If for no other reason than maintaining logical consistency, those who object also ought to decry faith-based “gun control” justifications. [More]

So "separation of church and state" is just a phrase of convenience, and when its to their advantage, the Prozis are all for merging the two?

It's Only a Movie

Conservative talk radio host and gun-rights advocate Dana Loesch says she has reached out to the FBI after an Internet troll edited a promotional video she recently did for the National Rifle Association to depict her bloody gun death. [More]

Not sure what the problem is here without seeing the video.

Sure, the guy is an obvious Prozi dickhead, and I have no doubt whatever he released was obnoxious and revolting, but it seems that would reflect on his diseased mind more than anything else, and ought to actually be useful to illustrate how devoid of worth the hate-consumed wretch is. For that to rise (sink) to the level of an actionable threat requiring an FBI investigation would require a lot more than this story describes.

RIDLEY SCOTT CONFIRMS NASA TIMED MARS WATER FIND TO BOOST DAMON’S ‘MARTIAN’ MOVIE [More]

So what do you think this PR is worth, courtesy of the "public servants" you fund, whether you  want to or not...? NASA has been wearing its "progressive" agenda on its sleeve for some time.

Watching a privileged hoplophobe, who pretends to be courageous for millions of dollars, say "In your face, Neil Armstrong" in the trailer struck me as totally unnecessary and disrespectful to a man who actually did have the courage to put his life on the line.

‘No Guns’ Sign Doesn’t Square with Texas Law, School Policy

One could also argue Smith-Soto is creating a discriminatory and hostile environment against those who choose to exercise a right he does not agree with, willfully disregarding UTEP’s “harassment” policy. That makes it fair to ask if a student who refuses to comply, and who makes known his objections and intent, might suffer resultant discrimination and retaliation, and if that might cause a chilling effect on the free exercise of rights. [More]

Or are "progressive" policies only binding on those they don't agree with?

No Effect?

No, I don't imagine peaceable people carrying has all that much impact on where the lion's share of violent crimes by "prohibited persons" occurs -- and those same peaceable people are prevented by law from deterring violence in "no guns zones," so "permits" are irrelevant in those instances.  [More]

That said, a DGU where no shot is fired and no police filing is made stops an unreported crime, and the fact that the perp is allowed to go on his way probably means the can just got kicked down the road.  But the fact remains, that crime was stopped, and the professor and his fellow agenda "scientists" would rather see the defender dead than armed.
