Moral Unequivalency
Someone in the Obama administration has added Israel to the customs list of state sponsors of terrorism. I guess failing to lick the bourbon king's boot when he tells you to commit national suicide now constitutes sponsoring terrorism. If they can just have four more years of this they might find a final solution to the problem progressive elites have with Jews.

Imagine a world without guns.
Master race baiting jackass Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy can be proud of his state's disarmament of law-abiding people tonight. In an illustration of what life was like before Sam Colt "...made me equal." 60-70 youths organized an commenced to bully and intimidate people and destroy property in Peoria IL.
Gun grabbers seem to think that a world without chemically powered weapons will be magically safe. What such a world does is turn power back to the organized, strong, and young; far as armaments have come in the last two centuries communications have gone farther. We have gone from being able to communicate at twenty miles an hour to being able to communicate at the speed of light. This means that assembling a clan for non-chemically powered violence no longer happens as fast as you can ride a horse, it happens as fast as you can send a text message. Hannibal and his army killed 45,000 comparably armed and fit human beings in a single day without a single chemically powered weapon. How many "white people" could 60 people beat to death?
This eye-witness account is from Paul Wilkinson, president of the Altamont Park Neighborhood Association:
Tonight, around 11 p.m., a group of at least 60-70 African American youth marched down one of the side streets (W. Thrush) to the 4 lane main drag (Sheridan). They were yelling threats to white residents. Things such as we need to kill alll the white people around here. They were physically intimidating anyone calling for help from the police. They were surrounding cars. Cars on the main drag had to slam on their brakes to either avoid the youth blocking not only all four lanes, but a large section of the side street as well. fights were breaking out among them. They were rushing residents who looked out their doors, going on to porches, yelling threats to people calling the police for help.
Cars were doing U turns on the streets just to avoid the mob, mostly male. One youth stated his grandfather was white and several assaulted him on the spot. One police officer answered the call. The youth split into two large groups, one heading north, the other south. They were also yelling racial threats to the police officer but he was outnumbered. Another police car did not show up until after the youth finally dispersed and the patty wagon (van) also eventually showed up.
Residents are very shaken, both black and white alike. This is the fifth large mob action in about a month with smaller groups of 10-12 are out threatening children and adults a few evenings a week or later into the night. The times vary, even occuring during the day. In talking to the police officer, they are short staffed. Residents were advised to simply keep inside and to lock their doors. In other words buckle down, it’s not even safe to sit on your porch or go into your yards.

Chicago's Police Superintendent Straight out of 1984
Chicago's police superintendent is trying to defend his city's failed justice system and gun control policies with a combination of doublethink and newspeak.
He is claiming that federal gun laws are a conspiracy to cannel guns to poor blacks in order to repress them. In fact as Clayton E Crammer thoroughly exposes the first restrictions on the second amendment in this country were put in place by white racists to disarm blacks. Garry McCarthy is also conveniently ignoring that the most recent wave of violence and crime in Chicago have little to do with guns and more to do with mobs of violent and aggressive young fit people using numbers and intimidation to run amok. Without firearms law abiding people who find themselves tactically outnumbered and likely less physically strong than these mobs have no defense.
Of course no proper Two Minutes' Hate would be complete without it's own Emanuel Goldstein so McCarthy also claims that Sarah Palin hunting caribou in Alaska is promoting gun violence in the inner city. I presume that McCarthy has a public relations media event with rappers scheduled sometime soon.
Illinois is now the only state in the country without any allowance for civilian concealed carry, yet all the elites of Chicago have armed police bodyguards. The kleptocratic socialists who have run Chicago since prohibition have sown the wind, but they keep trying to insist that the whirlwind comes from someone else. Decaying regimes always do.

"He[Acting BATFE head Kenneth E. Melson] is saying he won't go," said one source close to the situation, who asked for anonymity because high-level discussions with Melson remained fluid. "He has told them, 'I'm not going to be the fall guy on this.' "This is starting to sound juicy enough that even the mainstream press are going to have a hard time restraining their feeding instinct with this much upper echelon blood in the water.

UN arms-control treaties protect rape cultists
Central African villagers are having to fight off a large well armed group of bandits with homemade shotguns. All because neither their government or the UN will allow them to purchase arms. Even impoverished villagers could probably afford a few of these. Even if they couldn't I'm sure that US gun enthusiasts would actually get behind a charity(possible name: Defend the Children) for decent folks to militia themselves.
The end of the story on this breathlessly bemoans that this militia self defense indicates that people don't believe in their government. I will say that any government that can't protect their people from this type of thing deserves not loyalty from its people.

Whimps
The first pebbles are starting to fall in a Republican cave-in on the debt-limit. I begin to think that not only do many Republicans want to lose but want the country to lose as well. I would rather an honest Marxist than a dishonest and token opposition.
These whimps are simply afraid of winning an argument because they are afraid that they wont be popular with people who already hate them. Which leaves us like the girl in high-school who wouldn't say no to the football team because she wanted to be popular.....screwed.

US backs Jihadist's Loans.
Sorry no Friday bacon I'm going to have to find something really offensive to make up for the following story.
With the Muslim Brotherhood(AlQaeda before there was AlQaeda) looking to take over Egypt guess what Obama is doing. Guaranteeing $1,000,000.00 of their bonds. Aren't we supposed to lock people who finance terrorism up?
If this is the side the President is taking we are heading away from making the following dream a reality.
Don't let the dream die.

Cyberterrorist vs. Econterrorist
Anonymous("hackers" who got bored just snarking to each other on 4chan) have issued a fatwa against Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke. There are certainly no good guys to root for in this story, but it probably isn't productive to just sit back with some popcorn and watch.
Bernanke just got done supervising the printing of $600 Billion to give to banks in Europe who thought Greek sovereign debt was the safe investment of the future and he's getting ready for a new round of "quantitative easing" in an effort to make dollar bills the new poor man's Charmin.
On the other hand anarchists aren't to be trusted, they seldom desire what they claim to and often prove unpredictably murderous before their end.

$600,000,000,000.00
The Federal Reserve just got done with a six hundred billion dollar tax on everyone who owns United States money or anything valued with such. The called it Quantitative Easing 2 anyone who is plain spoken calls it printing money. When you print money you dilute the purchasing power of the existing money.
The best part of this rogering(without lube) is that much to most of it went to keeping European banks who leveraged themselves with Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, and Irish bonds solvent.
So the next time you see the price of burger meat up remember that it's to a hidden tax that is largely going as foreign aid to Belgian bankers and Greek welfare queens.

I'm glad you think this is funny.
The President has decided that the slow job market affecting me and millions of Americans is "funny" and worth making a joke about.
Allow me to educate you and I'll use small words so your tiny unteleprompted assisted brain can understand. I get to make gallows humor jokes about shovel ready "stimulus" jobs involving digging graves for the Obamacare death panels, you as the jackass who advanced both nationally suicidal policies while hosting Bourbon king scale parties DO NOT. If you had any honor or shame for the pain you have and will inflict upon this country you would confess your Marxist intentions, resign from office n disgrace, and commit ritual Seppuku without a swordsman backup.
I will not do anything to cause physical harm to Obama, but I shall work tirelessly to see him voted out come 2012. I will allow God and history to judge him.

According to Fox
Officials at the Department of Justice are in "panic mode,"The least nefarious possible senario is that these people are criminally incompotent to think they could keep track of thousands of pieces of fungible and durable contraband. We could conceivably find these guns buried for a hundred years then dug up and used to kill people on a different continent and this would all be the fault of this administration since it appears that the policies of this went all the way to the top.

Intended Consequences
Better bloggers than I have or will write about the potential consequences of the pending UN small arms treaty, to US citizens.
What isn't as widely thought of is how much this will enable majorities of countries to repress and slaughter people who they don't like. If minority populations are unable to acquire arms to defend themselves against repression and genocide then there is nothing to protect them from things like this.
A few crates of Mosin-Nagant rifles and a few cans of ammo would have done more to prevent the Rawanda religious genocide against Christians than fifty hollywood black-tie fund raisers.

Syrian lesbian blogger may be fake.
I don't know what way to hope in this story. Either a blogger that I have wrote about with respect is a fake, or she is likely either dead or currently being tortured. Either way my opinion of my fellow man is diminished and my motivation to see major portions of the islamic world nuked is increased.
UPDATE:
The Blaze/AP is now confirming that this whole blog was a hoax. So good news one particular young woman isn't being raped and tortured to death by an autocratic regime. Bad new is that some publicity seeking fake has hurt the ethos of the cause he cares about and hurt the credibility of blog citizen journalists. Way to go jerk.

J is for Jackboot
The Department of Education is now getting in on the no knock warrant business.
So to make clear instead of either knocking on the door and presenting their warrant or surrounding the house and calling out on loud speakers, these geniuses decide to justify their own existence as an armed force by kicking in someone's door and terrorizing their kids but didn't time their raid for when the person they were going to arrest for the dangerous crime of failing to repay a student loan wasn't at home.
Someone really needs to examine the force that the Department of Education is allowed to use in debt collection.
Debt collection in general is becoming too much of a criminalized process as the Wallstreet Journal writes.
********************************************
Update: Tam pointed to SayUncle finding and posting the warrant from this raid. Not only is it only for garden variety white collar fraud, but the Judge crossed out the "any other contraband" section of it. Someone needs to at least get called before congress to explain how they thought it would be unsafe to simply knock on the door/surround and call out on the megaphone and present the warrant. This doesn't strike me as the type of crime that someone pulls a gat and screams "die pigs" over.

Character is who you are when you're alone in the dark.
Anthony Weiner has admitted sending a dick-pic to a woman more than a decade his junior, yet claims he's done nothing wrong enough to resign over. So here is a short list of a few things that this chimichanga feels insufficient for a representative of the people to resign.
Anthony Weiner has failed this test of manhood.
- Deceiving to his constituents for more than a week.
- Allowing people to slander the journalist who broke this story into the public consciousness.
- Lying to his wife(always says bad things when someone is willing to break a solemn vow to honor someone).
- Being a generally rancid hypocrite.

This is what happens when you get your news from MSNBC
A gay Radical Islamic Fundamentalist walks into a gun show......
Gadahn "the American" who is so gay that he signed up with al Qaeda for the chance to live in a cave in Afghanistan with a bunch of sweaty men has been reading the Brady Campaign(or whatever they are calling themselves this month) website and has believed them(unlike most of America).
To begin with ever since 9/11/01 al Qaeda has exhibited terrible tradecraft, or to put it another way if someone who smells like the typical RIF and has ANY accent and is asking where he can buy the fully automatic weapons without a background check he's going to be lucky if all that happens is people getting the police called on them. To say the least Gadahn would not fit into the crowd at a gunshow.
Secondly the transfer of Class III weapons especially full autos doesn't work like that. Such rare, expensive, and already illegal to transfer via private property sale.
Lastly unless someone is very trained automatic weapons are LESS effective every shot but the first tends to only threaten the air. If the Tuscon psycho had had a full auto we would probably only have one not seventeen dead people to seek justice for.
I shouldn't complain about my enemy doing stupid things though and fully automatic firearms in the hands of your typical RIF are some of the most ineffective weapons since french all-terrain horseshoes.

Unelected Multi-National Organizations "Get'r Done"
So NATO is heading into a ground war in Libya. Don't worry this doesn't violate the the US Constitution reserving Congress the duty to declare war because it's "NATO" doing it. For that matter I'm unaware of any other NATO country declaring war.
The World Bank is proposing a tax on worldwide transportation. Only to cut greenhouse gasses pay no attention to the billions of unaccountable dollars that this would produce. The only lever that nations have had on things like the World Bank or the IMF is that they only get money that they "lend". Once these organizations can tax it will take someone having the balls to militarily refuse to pay.
Official documents suggest Obama administration was behind the Gunrunner BATFE scandal. Oops you screwed up Barry unlike multinational organizations you will be subject to an election come 2012, see you about this then.

Cut...themselves off at the knees.
A liberal argument to ban infant circumcision quoted in the Ace of Spades about SanFanpycho effectively banning Jewish childbirth broke my asinine meter.
As a Libertarian(more and more so by the day) I believe that the government doesn't have a place in peoples business as long as they aren't hurting anybody. I'll even admit that the whole issue of infant circumcision is something that might fall into the whole "hurting anybody thing"(I'm unconvinced that I was hurt as an infant but hey maybe I don't know what I'm missing), but if circumcising a baby could fall into this area killing the same child who just hasn't gotten out of incubation definitely falls into this.
Much as the tyrannical busybodies of the left want to "let us eat cake" they seem to want to have it too.
They have argued that it, like abortion, is an issue of choice. The babies do not have a say in the matter, therefore the parent's should not be allowed to decide for them.Babies also don't get a choice about wither to be chopped up and vacuumed out before they are born either but apparently that is fine as long as they go into the medical waste bin with their foreskins intact.

"Silence Them"
Blogging as we know it could soon be made a felony. According to language in a Senate amendment embedding or linking to copy written work that is viewed by more than ten people would be "use" of such work and a felony.
This is in direct contradiction to "fair use" law and impossible to universally enforce, therefore it would become a club that could be used by prosecutors to go after people they don't like or who make them or their friends look bad.
So we have to courts shredding rights reserved under the 4th Amendment. We have to President regulating away rights reserved under the 2nd Amendment. Now we have to the Senate apparently tired of loggers publishing their embarrassments and lies legislating away fair use rights that in my opinion fall under the 1st Amendment.
I'm sure that in these political hacks minds the endgame is something like China where people are repressed from organizing a redress of their grievances. They are wrong. Americans aren't Chinese and we wont abide this type of system.
The liberty codified in our constitution isn't there to just protect the people from the a tyrannical government, it is there to spare us and the would be tyrants the violence that would respond to such tyranny. If we don't have the protections against government and the means to organize a peaceful move away from a growing tyranny then people will eventually and at whatever cost organize a non-peaceful transition back to liberty. I pray that doesn't happen because it is a path fraught with peril and sorrow with little chance of not having to be repeated on the very people who replaced the previous tyrant.
To paraphrase Rorschach from Alan Moore's The Watchmen:
