Missing from the media...

On Cross-Examination

Amid the hysteria on guns, two stories saw better light this week, while a third one broke. First, recall the man who last August wounded a security guard at Family Research Council national headquarters. He chose his targets, which included three other organizations, because he found information on the Southern Poverty Law Center's website listing them as "hate groups." The latter organization is infamous for slapping the "hate group" label on any organization with which it disagrees. Remember leftist outrage at Sarah Palin's PAC for putting election "targets" on congressional districts not long before Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Tucson in 2011. Now? Not a word.

Second, in the even more famous case of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, still more evidence has surfaced that Zimmerman was not the racist portrayed by the Leftmedia and Barack Obama. In fact, Zimmerman had a black business partner, helped black kids in the neighborhood and, as a registered Democrat, supported Obama in 2008 because, in the words of his brother Robert, "the president's club had been a club of white men since our founding." Zimmerman, who still sports tire tracks from the Obama Express, apparently personifies this truth: When it comes to Obama supporters, black trumps Latino, and thug trumps gun owner.

Third, former Los Angeles police officer Chris Dorner allegedly went on a shooting rampage this week, murdering one officer and two civilians, as well as wounding two more officers. As we go to press, he is still at large. Dorner, also a Navy veteran, was fired from the department in 2009 for making false statements, and now claims he is seeking to punish corruption within the LAPD. What is often missing from media coverage, however, is the part of his manifesto announcing that he's pro-Obama, pro-Hillary for 2016, pro-gun control and anti-NRA.

Freedom of Speech?

In our local paper today, letter to the editor:

Editor’s note: This letter is being reprinted at the request of the writer to include the parenthetical expression at bottom.

We can stop shootings

To the Editor:

The Sandy Hook tragedy is the 136th gun shooting at a school in America since 1764.

In those 136 shootings, 32 of them were stopped by intervention.

When it was the police intervening, there was an average of 14 people murdered before the intervention.

When it was a civilian intervening, there was an average of two people murdered before the intervention.

We know exactly how to stop these school murders. We only need to make one change: Ar…

(Note: This letter ends abruptly because it has been truncated to 450 characters. This is in compliance with the recently issued Presidential Executive Order limiting the 1st amendment “Freedom of Speech” clause to 450 characters in situations where the subject matter is considered hurtful. The subject of guns makes people uncomfortable, so it falls under the subject matter ban.

It has been determined that this limitation does not significantly infringe on the intent of the 1st amendment.)

D.C. Gun Laws - Try this

To Keep and Bear Arms

Amid all the hubbub surrounding Sen. Dianne Feinstein's "assault weapons" ban, there are still everyday stories of average law-abiding citizens using firearms to defend themselves and others from evil -- or in this case, serious harm. An 11-year-old boy was riding his bike in a Washington, DC, neighborhood when he came upon three pit bulls. The dogs pounced, mauling the boy.

Fortunately, a neighbor saw what was happening, grabbed his handgun and rushed out to shoot one of the pit bulls. A DC police officer patrolling nearby on a bicycle heard the shot, and came to the boy's aid as well, shooting the other two pit bulls. The boy's injuries were severe, but he will survive, thanks to the quick action of this neighbor.

However, the hero is under investigation for violating local gun laws -- discharging his weapon while not on his own property. No word yet on whether charges will be filed, but DC's gun laws are what put children at risk.

The 'Royal' Presidency: $1.4B A Year

 
Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year,according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.
 
In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.
Author Robert Keith Gray writes in “Presidential Perks Gone Royal” that Obama isn’t the only president to have taken advantage of the expensive trappings of his office. But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in.
Gray told The Daily Caller that the $1.4 billion spent on the Obama family last year is the “total cost of the presidency,” factoring the cost of the “biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever,” a 50 percent increase in the numbers of appointed czars and an Air Force One “running with the frequency of a scheduled air line.”
Perspective: $1.4 billion is equal to spending seven times Mitt Romney’s entire net-worth every year. If Romney had to pay for Barack and Michelle’s lifestyle this year, he would have been bankrupted by the third week in February.
Now, can we please get back to talking about the evil, freeloading rich, who didn’t build that.

Confiscate guns... from Democrats

  I received this, interesting read. 

   It appears to me we should join the current hysteria and suggest the evidence shows that all registered Democrats guns should be confiscated.

We know who they are- ~ they're registered! 
   
Why is it the progressive liberals that steal guns.  who then go and kill movie goers and children in school,  have never been a conservative NRA member?
 
Ft  Hood Major~~ Registered Democrat ~  Muslim
 
Columbine Shooters~~~ Too young to vote;  both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals

Virginia Tech Shooter~~~ Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff ~ Registered Democrat

Colorado Theater  Shooter~~~  Registered Democrat;  staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall  Street participant; progressive liberalConnecticut  School Shooter- ~~~ Registered Democrat;  hated Christians.

Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive liberal Democrats."

      INTERESTING, isn't it?

Sure, they question his eligibility

Oh the hypocrisy
 
Subject: democrats Raise "Birther Issue" with Republican Senator Cruz

Ted Cruz’s Presidential Eligibility Already an Issue

Just days after he was sworn in as a new U.S. senator, Texas Republican Ted Cruz already is making waves in Washington — and creating another “birther” controversy.

The mainstream media initially gave little or no coverage to presidential candidate Barack Obama’s failure to produce a birth certificate, then lambasted those who questioned his eligibility for the White House.

But the press is already bringing up the question of Cruz’s eligibility for president — which suggests that Democratic sympathizers are worried about his possible run for the White House in 2016.

Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father, although some questioned his Hawaiian birth. Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father who were working in the petroleum industry, and he lived in Canada for four years before his family moved to Texas.

The Constitution’s Article II states: “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”

The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to anyone born in the United States, but a 1937 law passed by Congress also granted citizenship to children born to American citizens outside the country.

That would seem to clearly qualify Cruz for the presidency, but it hasn’t quieted the controversy. Politico on Monday ran a story headlined “Ted Cruz draws presidential buzz, but is he eligible?” adding that he has “the aura” of a future contender.

“The problem is, no one knows what a natural born citizen is,” said University of California, Davis law professor Gabriel Chin, who argued in 2008 that John McCain was not eligible to be president because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone.

“There’s nothing definitive legally.”

Harvard Law School law professor Laurence Tribe, an adviser to Obama, said Cruz should prepare a thorough explanation of his eligibility to put the issue at rest: “I’d need to know more, but it certainly doesn’t sound like a sufficient explanation.”

And University of Pennsylvania law professor Kermit Roosevelt told Politico that Cruz’s “birthright citizenship derives from his parents, and the question is, does that fit with the definition of natural born citizen?”

Cruz’s primary opponent in the Senate race last year, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, brought up Cruz’s Canadian birthplace in a campaign ad, and his Democratic opponent Paul Sadler said in an interview: “Rafael Cruz — ‘Ted,’ that’s what he goes by, his real name is Rafael — was born in Canada.”

Cruz spokesman Sean Rushton stated that Cruz is “a U.S. citizen by birth,” but declined to elaborate on the issue, saying the new senator is concentrating on his work ahead in Congress.

And Cruz has already made a splash as senator, trumpeting his opposition to gun control and Obama’s choice of Chuck Hagel as Defense secretary, charging that Obama is “high on re-election.”

The Short Honeymoon

Hunting/guns its not a hobby its a lifestyle.
 
  Tim decided to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend. One evening, after the honeymoon, he was assembling some loads for an upcoming hunt.

His wife was standing there at the bench watching him. After a long period of silence she finally speaks.

"Honey, I've been thinking, now that we are married I think it's time you quit hunting, shooting, hand loading, and fishing.  Maybe you should sell your guns and boat."

Tim gets this horrified look on his face.

She says, "Darling, what's wrong?"

"There for a minute you were sounding like my ex-wife."

"Ex-wife?" she screams, "I didn't know you were married before!"

"I wasn't."

Do the math

The BIG Lies

"I just wanted to take a minute to explain to everyone what we were able to achieve this week. In the face of looming deadlines that would have taken a big chunk out of everyone's bottom line, you know my top priority has been preventing a tax hike that would have hit 98 percent of all Americans in 2013, because the last thing middle-class families could afford now would be to pay upwards of $2,000 more in taxes this year. ... We've stopped that middle-class tax hike." --Barack Obama, who actually did hike taxes on most taxpayers.

 

"[I]f you look at my track record over the last two years, I cut spending by over a trillion dollars in 2011." --Barack Obama, who presided over increased spending of $147 billion in 2011.

Tax Saving Ending This Year

From a newsleter:

Gifts for family

One of the most important of the opportunities that will disappear is the ability to make tax-exempt gifts to family members of up to $5, 120,000.

On January 1, 2013 this tax exemption amount drops to only $1 million.

What that means, in effect, is if you have a significantly sized estate, you now have an opening to pazss down some of the estate to your family without having to give a large share of it to the government.

Starting next year, estate and gift taxes kick back in, with rates rising as high as 55%.

Soldiers ordered not to offend radical islamists

Soldiers Ordered Not To Offend Radical Islamists

Well, strap in for this news: a new military handbook has been issued that orders soldiers to avoid engaging in topics that would offend radical Islamists. So, if you thought that the United States couldn’t get any more politically correct, you were dead wrong.

According to Pamela Gellar of atlasshrugs.com: “The draft leaked to the newspaper offers a list of “taboo conversation topics” that soldiers should avoid, including “making derogatory comments about the Taliban,” “advocating women’s rights,” “any criticism of pedophilia,” “directing any criticism towards Afghans,” “mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct” or “anything related to Islam.”

In addition to this madness, the manual also claims that it is not the Taliban that is causing the rise in attacks by Afghan soldiers, but a lack of understanding on the part of the West.

I’m sorry–What? Soldiers are not allowed to criticize pedophilia and cannot advocate for women’s rights? Ok, here’s what this means in my book:

1. The Obama administration is trying desperately to appease radical Islamists. They think that by “playing nice” with words, somehow, the terrorists will treat us in kind. They cannot be that stupid (well…), so there must be another agenda at work.

2. By publishing manuals and regulations like this, we are weakening ourselves in the eyes of the enemy. This can only result in a stronger resolve to destroy us. It is not our actions that the enemy hates, it is simply us. They hate western culture, Christians and Jews, and they will stop at nothing to eliminate the us.

3. With this manual, soldiers are being ordered to passively support abuse of women, sexual misconduct and numerous other disgusting practices of radical Islamists. Soldiers are being forced to defy basic morality for the sake of political correctness. It’s foul.

In summary:

This is the backwards logic of the deranged Left. We are fighting an enemy, but we are not allowed to hurt their feelings. This defies human reasoning, but it fits right in with the Liberal world view. They believe that it is our fault that we were attacked on 9/11; that it is our support of Israel and our actions in the Middle-East that stirred the hatred of radical Islamists. In essence, we are the provocateurs, and they are the victims. Well, you can’t provoke the Devil. Radical Islam is an evil beast, and we are feeding it. When it grows strong, it will be our fault.
