Scandals and a Teflon POTUS

How many scandals does it take to bring down a president?

For Nixon it took one, Watergate, in order to bring him down.

For Clinton? Honestly why did they even bother trying, so what the guy got a blow job in the  Oval Office, if I were president, I would too.

What about our current Commander-in-Chief?  Obama is Teflon, the media has successfully down-played every single event in his presidency.

Fast and Furious? Agent died, our top justice department officials knew of a gun smuggling operation to Mexican drug cartels, and nothing comes of it. How can anyone take our justice department seriously when it is allowed to break the very laws it is supposed to enforce?

Benghazi? The POTUS orders men to stand down, and to let fellow Americans die.

AP wire tapping? Oh wait the media was angry about this.

The IRS being used as a political force to aid in a re-election bid? ….

At what point to we look at the guy in charge and say to him that he needs be charged criminally. There is no way he doesn’t know and isn’t behind what happened. If he really didn’t he should be impeached for incompetence. Even Biden could do a better job.

But nothing comes of it. Obama is made of Teflon, and nothing sticks to him. I will leave it to you to figure out why.

Can the American Right and the World Left reconcile their differences?

tl;dr : No!

Even in America the difference between the ‘Right’ and ‘Left’ is so vast as to be virtually insurmountable. The differences between those who support individuality and collectivism can never be negotiated away. There is no simple middle ground because the individualists, even those on the left, have already negotiated away so many liberties that to give up any more would be to surrender to collectivism once and for all. There is no negotiable center anymore.

While most of America was focusing on the 2nd Amendment in the aftermath of Sandy Hook, and to a lesser extent the Boston Marathon, the powers that be unequivocally stated that the 1st Amendment doesn’t exist.

It started quite a while ago, when courts decided that the government can on public property decide where and when free speech was allowed. It continued this week when the DoD in cooperation with another government agency closed down the Defense Distributed website. Freedom of the press anyone? Apparently not anymore.

The Bill of Rights was put in to protect the very people, and rights, that we most wanted to protect. No one needs a 1st Amendment if you are simply regurgitating the common morality or popular culture of the time, you need it when you and your ideas are reviled for being different. The exact type of speech that Hate Crimes legislation punishes, the exact type of press that has been shut down before, and was again with Defense Distributed, by is what is supposed to be protected.

I am not saying that Defense Distributed should have published, I will not weigh in on that here, and if someone did use their weapons to commit a crime, perhaps they could have been subject to law suit. Removing the material that they produced is going far beyond the limits that the government is supposed to have placed on them.

The left gleefully cheered this, not realizing exactly what they are cheering. They are not cheering the removal of material they disagree with; they are cheering the removal of any material any time the government decides that material is ‘dangerous’, ‘violates international trade’, or whatever future reason they want it could be linked to the military or any government operation at any time, and suddenly you find yourself lacking the materials you need or want. This is the real danger, the tyranny of a government gone too far in action.

This is no longer a fight for the 2nd Amendment this is in fact a fight for the entire constitution, a fight for our very nation, and all of our liberties. If only the полезный дурак  on the other side could wake up and understand exactly what they have negotiated away.

What will be the legacy of Sandy Hook?

It has now been more than four months since the tragic [ ] events of December 14, 2012. As anti-gun groups bemoan the losses in the Senate and cheer the changes in some blue state strongholds like New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and California it is time we take a look at what the long term prognosis is for the legacy that these 26 individuals have left behind.

Far from leading to a complete ban of firearms and a more peaceful America, a large division has formed in the opinions and attitudes on the pro-gun and anti-gun sides.  The push for more and more gun control is also stronger, the Senate in CT has a confiscation bill they are preparing for introduction to take the arms, and magazines from those that currently legally own them. Many owners of the sporting rifles that are now banned under the political term ‘assault weapon’ will not register them. This will lead to more people becoming ‘criminals’ by default all in the name of ‘children’s safety’ despite the fact that the bills that have been passed would have done nothing to stop the massacre.

Never before has the emotion of the issue been so strongly felt on both sides. In New England there are now ‘patriots’ organizing in preparation for standing for ‘liberty’. These people are mostly not dangerous, but there is the possibility that given the exact wrong set of circumstances these organized individuals could be pushed past the point of no return, and the question for them becomes, at what point do they stand up and say this far, no further? The patriotic American has dealt with far more insult, and legal harassment from politicians on both sides of the aisle, than any group in American history save African-Americans during the Civil Rights movements of the 60′s. The difference is that the freedoms that the Civil Rights movements sought to bring to the minority communities is now being stripped away from patriots. Where is that line, when does it get crossed, and what will be the cost?

It is a sad state of affairs, but the real legacy of these victims of the Sandy Hook event, will be at best turning good people into criminals, and at worst more bloodshed, as patriots are sick of being pushed around and forced into the fringes just for desiring their freedoms that are supposed to be protected by the very politicians that have abandoned them.

 

Chris Christie isn’t a Republican.

This, at the end of the day, is the problem with ALL political parties. And I don’t mean to pick on Governor Christie, I have respect for his attitude after Sandy hit, he was more concerned with doing right than doing politics which is a good thing, however it shows that at the end of the day the problem with the two parties we have is there is no standards for being a party member.

The GOP and the Democratic Party, the two big parties, don’t actually hold their member politicians to any type of real standards. They won’t eject politicians who don’t represent their core beliefs, they simply allow anyone to run for office with their tag, and gloat on the power, you can read that as money, gained from successful elections.

Neither party has the moral fortitude to eject politicians that aren’t quite in line with what they stand for, this has allowed the Democratic and Republican Parties to move much further to the left than otherwise would have.

Anywhere but in New England Mitt Romney would be a Democrat

Maxine Waters is a socialist, period. Anyone who would say the following is just that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3I-PVVowFY

That is her saying ‘this liberal, would be about socializ.. . ‘ she catches herself but not before admitting she is a socialist and not a liberal.

Chris Christie is an old school northern Democrat, closer to a Dukakis than a Reagan, and his attitudes on Gun Control show it. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think he is a huge liberal, rather a moderate,  but he is definitely left of center.

I wonder what would happen if we tried to get congress to pass some type of ‘stone ideology’ legislation, that would force political parties to reject people who publicly speak in opposition to, or conflict with their stated ideology?

I am, of course not suggesting anything of the sort, but simply venting against the apparent lack of morality and ideology of the current political machine. The parties need to gain some morals and refuse to support politicians who do not represent the core beliefs of the Party. I am saying that there should be little room for variation as if there had been, Maxine Waters would never have been elected.

Parties should have responsibility to stand for something, and while some evolution over time should be allowed, the party of Jefferson isn’t the Democratic party of today, for that matter the party of JFK isn’t the Democratic party of today, and has little business being called by the same name. The GOP certainly isn’t the party of Lincoln by any measure I can find.

Mother Jones can’t get it right.

I shouldn’t blame Mother Jones for this, after all it is their source that is biased, and completely wrong.

Links to the appropriate sources The first link is the Mother Jones article I am debunking here, the second link is their source:

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/04/charts-domestic-terrorism-jihadist-boston-tsarnaev

http://homegrown.newamerica.net/

In this article, MJ and their source try to prove that so called right wing terrorism has killed more people in our nation since  2001 than has islamic extremism. This discussion, however, depends on the definition of terrorism we use. So now might be a good time to do just that.

the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion

that definition comes from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/terrorism .

Let us start with the first ‘terrorist attack’ on the list.

Wade Lay, and his son, Christopher Lay, attempted to rob a bank in September 2004, the plan of the bank robbery was to fund a terrorist attack in retribution for Ruby Ridge. Unfortunately for them, they were arrested after the bank job gone bad, leaving a bank guard dead.

I don’t care what they intended to do with the money, a bank robbery isn’t terrorism by any sane persons accounting. This wasn’t a terrorist attack, though it could have prompted one later on certainly.

http://archive.adl.org/learn/extremism_in_the_news/Anti_Government/lay_convicted_92705.htm

Next on the list is Jim David Adkisson , and this would count as a hate crime certainly, but are we now calling hate crimes terrorist attacks?

Jim David Adkisson, motivated by hatred for ‘democrats, liberals, blacks, and homosexuals’ burst into a church with a Remington Model 48 shotgun and killed two people. Hate crime, yes, terrorism? Not according to our definition up above.

Ok, well then number two on our list also falls short of being terrorism.

Third on the list is Keith Luke, another racist who in 2009 went on a spree in Boston killing two and violating a third, can we call it terrorism?

The problem here is the left is now attempting to redefine terrorism into whatever it wants it to be, and I will prove this by using a more broad definition, that doesn’t actually come from any dictionary.

political violence: violence or the threat of violence, especially bombing, kidnapping, and assassination, carried out for political purposes

 

Using this definition of terrorism, we find that the first attack, was intended to fund a terror attack, but non the less wasn’t one. The second one could be argued under this broader category as a terror attack, but the third one, the Boston attack in 2009 wouldn’t be.

After reviewing the list, and using the broadened definition of terrorism, I find exactly one that I would count as a terrorist attack. With a couple in the gray area between hate crimes and terrorism. If we are going to define hate crimes as terrorism, then our list is going to become increasingly long, and the left will find that it is committing far more of these than it is receiving, as minority on white crime is higher than white on minority crime.

This means the left is stretching to make the Boston bombing a non-event. They want it to be a minor blip on the face of a new immigration push. Mother Jones, Salon, and their ilk desperately want to change the dialogue of this nation, and push us further away from the ideals we once represented. They are, to a person, traitors who seek to undermine the people of this nation and they will lie their way to success. The left constantly tries to rewrite the rules and redefine the words, we need to stop them cold now.

For extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession above and beyond the call of duty at the risk of his life, as second in command of a Guardia Nacional Patrol on 24 April 1932, engaged, at the time, in active operations in the field against armed bandit forces in the vicinity of Constancia, near Coco River, Department of Jinotega, Northern Nicaragua,. While the patrol was in formation on the trail searching for a bandit group, with which contact had just previously been had, a rifle grenade fell from its carrier, carried by a member of the patrol, and struck a rock, igniting the detonator. Several men of the patrol were in close proximity of the grenade at the time. Corporal Truesdale, who was several yards away at the time, could easily have sought cover and safety for himself but instead, knowing full well the grenade would explode within two or three seconds, and with utter disregard for his own personal safety, and at the risk of his own life, rushed for the grenade, grasped it in his right hand and attempted to throw it away from the patrol before it exploded. The grenade exploded in his hand, blowing it off and inflicting serious multiple wounds about his body. Corporal Truesdale, by his actions, took the full shock of the explosion of the grenade upon himself, thereby saving the lives of, or serious injury to, his comrades in arms. His actions were worthy of the highest traditions of the profession of arms.

The disease that is MSM.

” I hope it is a white guy”

” In the Oklahoma City bombing…”

The absolute disgusting pus that came out of our MSM outlets after the tragedy in Boston is the sickest thing I have seen in a long time, and I went out to try to remember the faces of the wounded, every image I could find of someone who was wounded in the blasts, I went and looked at. It was all I could do for them, aside from donating money and blood both of which I have done.

But our MSM wanted to make this political.

“Tax day”

“Patriot Movement”

The media filled our screens with this, and the most reprehensible of all was that of Salon, wherein they didn’t even hide the fact that they wanted this to be politically motivated by some white guy, so they could then scream racism at the top of their lungs.

You sick people, you are the racists, if you can sit there and hope a specific racial group did this crime, so that you can go and be ‘justified’ in screaming racism, then you are actually the racist.

The rest of the media wanted to link this to the right in a push for better gun control, and this can be seen even by a certain brain damaged actor trying to put his two cents in. I thank a certain actor (from one of my favorite shows of the past) for smacking him down over twitter.

I am keeping an open mind, and have seen some disturbing things, but mostly I wanted to vent out frustration at the sources that call themselves ‘news’ and ‘media’ when what they are is propaganda.

 

So they aren’t coming to confiscate?

List of known confiscations,

Hurricane Katrina:

“No one is going to be allowed to be armed.”

2013:

 

Tighten the restrictions on who can own firearms, then make PTSD and other combat related illness a valid reason to keep vets from owning firearms.

This is logical, and in fact is exactly what I would expect to see before a major push for confiscation.

The men with the skill set needed to lead any resistance will be disarmed quickly and quietly, and with public support. In the name of public safety we will disarm these men, those who have served our nation honorably and done no harm. Then the rest will follow, they will have no choice, as precedent for confiscation has already been set.

Here in CT, a veteran who was seeking medical care for a back injury had his guns taken when he refused to see a psychiatrist. Another case in NY where a man went for anxiety and has had his licence to carry revoked.

The confiscation is ongoing, and it is worse than you think.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Weapons Platoon Commander, Company I, Third Battalion, Ninth Marines, Third Marine Division, in Quang Tri Province, Republic of Vietnam, on 30 March 1967. Company I was establishing night ambush sites when the command group was attacked by a reinforced North Vietnamese company supported by heavy automatic weapons and mortar fire. Lieutenant Bobo immediately organized a hasty defense and moved from position to position encouraging the outnumbered Marines despite the murderous enemy fire. Recovering a rocket launcher from among the friendly casualties, he organized a new launcher team and directed its fire into the enemy machine gunposition. When an exploding enemy mortar round severed Lieutenant Bobo’s right leg below the knee, he refused to be evacuated and insisted upon being placed in a firing position to cover the movement of the command group to a better location. With a web belt around his leg serving as tourniquet and with his leg jammed into the dirt to curtail the bleeding, he remained in this position and delivered devastating fire into the ranks of the enemy attempting to overrun the Marines. Lieutenant Bobo was mortally wounded while firing his weapon into the mainpoint of the enemy attack but his valiant spirit inspired his men to heroic efforts, and his tenacious stand enabled the command group to gain a protective position where it repulsed the enemy onslaught. Lieutenant Bobo’s superb leadership, dauntless courage, and bold initiative reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.[6]

Where is the MSM outrage about this blatant racism?

Hey man. You have used the word ‘except’ when I think you mean somethin’ else.

 

Hey man.

You can keep sending me stuff like you have however because it helps me explain to my constituents why they should protect that 2nd amendment thing AFTER we finish stocking up on spare parts, munitions and the like.
