The Drowning Man

will grasp at anything, no matter how flimsy. Just like a gun control advocate and the latest 'Fortune' article.

Prof Spitzer has a long history of gun control and NRA hate. He still believes in the 'collective' model of the 2A just to show how delusional he is so it comes as no surprise that he gloms onto the article like a suckling pig, ignoring all the shit factual errors and throwing out more shit ad hominems, strawmen and red herrings than you can count. 

This is the intellectual elite of the gun control movement.  

Happy 4th of July

Let's use this year to remember what this country SHOULD be.

I'm a DHS Terrorist 'Hot Spot'

ANOTHER frickin' report by the gov't labeling me as a potential 'terrorist', specifically , 'extreme right wing'.

 Extreme Right-Wing: groups that believe that one’s personal and/or national “way of life” is under attack and is either already lost or that the threat is imminent (for some the threat is from a specific ethnic, racial, or religious group), and believe in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism. Groups may also be fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation), anti-global, suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty, and believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.

 Single Issue: groups or individuals that obsessively focus on very specific or narrowly-defined causes (e.g., anti-abortion, anti-Catholic, anti-nuclear, anti-Castro). This category includes groups from all sides of the political spectrum.

Suspicious of centralized federal authority? 'Reverent of individual liberty'?  being anti-communist?  Those are the things that label me as a 'terrorist hot spot'? 

Count me in then.

Media Helping Terrorists

So what does the media do when the UK gov't implement plans to thwart terrorist attacks during the Olympics?

Why announce details and locations of all the equipment along w/ some handy photographs for cross referencing. 

Reminds me of when the media were given info on the Somalia landings and set up cameras and spotlights and when Geraldo was 'embedded' w/ a combat unit and announced his location on live TV. 

Idiots.

Rep. McCarthy Joins NRA?

Got a fund raising email from Rep. Carolyn "Shoulder thing that goes up" McCarthy. It included this line:

We're ready for whatever may come, and our great response on Saturday says to me: You're all-in. I am touched by your commitment to our cause.

 Apparently Rep McCarthy is an NRA member now.

 

Good for her. 

DEAD CHILDREN!!!!

It's all YOUR fault you stupid, knuckle-dragging neanderthals. If it wasn't for you, we could pass all the gun control laws we want and then unicorns would walk the streets filling the skies w/ rainbow farts and covering the sidewalks w/ gum drop droppings.

But instead you come into our city and 'mock' us as we continue to blame you for all the crime in our city so we're going to beat you over the head w/ all the DEAD CHILDREN due in NO part to the gangs that wouldn't be causing any crime if it wasn't for YOUR guns.

Education

 I finally got smart enough and quit any sort of former schooling after that wench Suzie Campbell wouldn’t share the lego pile. My parents taught me how to read via Seseme Street and memorizing the recipes on cans of Cheese Whiz. My education today consists primarily of following Twitter feeds of Hollywood action stars.

Job History:

1989 June 27th-July 3rd. I worked the fry station at McDonalds and got fired for throwing boiling oil in some Indian chicks face for marrying outside of her caste.

Qualifications for working at the Brady Campaign to Ban Guns:

1. I want to ban small guns because they are small.
2. I want to ban large guns because they are large.
3. I want to ban medium sized guns which fire what are defined as intermediate ammunition because I believe people who own these weapons are taking advantage of the small and large gun ban loop hole.
4. I want to ban any gun which can be fitted with optics because they then become sniper weapons which can kill from over a mile away.
5. I want to ban all toy guns because they teach kids to murder and can be converted into real guns by filing down the firing pin.
6. I want to see the 2nd Amendment repealed, all guns seized by force so we can move on to banning bladed weaponry and blunt objects.

In closing, I have spent countless hours being mentored by Paul Helmke, Dennis Henigan, Peter Hamm, Doug Pennington and Zach Ragbourne. I feel that I understand the culture of the Brady Campaign and wish to join your team.

P.S. I realize that this, like all your job openings, is un unpaid position…but, do you have any photos of Sarah Brady’s feet???

Courtroom Crusaders

Two cases:

BOSTON — Gail Jones says she has forgiven the man who shot and killed her 23-year-old son during a botched robbery at a New Hampshire Army surplus store five years ago.
But she is hoping her son’s death, in which a stolen gun was used, will prompt gun owners to be more careful about locking up their firearms.
Jones is suing the grandfather of the man who killed her son and two other men, alleging that his failure to secure his gun properly enabled his grandson to steal it and use it in the shootings on July 2, 2007.

 So she's 'forgiven' the actual murderer but is blaming the guy who's property was broken into and stolen from. 

Jitka Vesel was shot 12 times at close range with a gun her killer never should have owned.

On Friday, an online seller learned he will go to prison for illegally arming the man who pulled the trigger...

Vesel’s longtime friend, Theresa O’Rourke of Downers Grove, seized Friday’s sentencing as an opportunity to push for stricter gun laws.

She cited statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Mayors Against Illegal Guns organization that indicate 40 percent of firearms are sold by “private sellers” not required to do background checks.

O’Rourke said she believes this is a result of unchecked online sales, which have grown in popularity.

And the belief that a guy who knowingly sold a gun to a prohibited person would be stopped by a law making it illegaler. 

Who wants to bet both of these people were coached by gun control groups?

Book Review: Bolivian Diaries

What happens when you penetrate a Cult of Personality and actually read the intimate thoughts of the one in encompasses?

You discover just another person.

This is the final diary of the infamous Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, hero of many an American college student for his escapades of riding around South America wronging rights and depressing the oppressed. There are several movies made about him, countless books (along w/ his own writings) and even a college in Cuba dedicated to his 'teachings'.

Now to be honest, Che was a very intelligent individual.  He was a trained medical doctor. His political writings and speeches were excellent (as far as 1960's Communist propaganda can be) and he excelled at small unit tactics.

Outside of that, he was just an average person, and kind of a jerk at that. Reading the Congo Diaries and this one, it becomes clear why he was always a #2 man in the Cuban Revolution and why the Congo and Bolivian revolutions failed. He had little skill at dealing w/ people and was one of those leaders who micro managed everything. By the time he finally started getting the feel of the Congolese and Bolivian people, his 'wars' were effectively over. He couldn't grasp that even most self-proclaimed Communists were out for their own personal gain and couldn't care less about doctrine or equality.

It also included several 'Communique's to the Bolivian People' ironically titled Revolutionary Truth against Reactionary Lies. I say ironic because in them, he is just as dishonest as he proclaims the Bolivian Gov't and 'Yankees' are, using hair splitting to deny that there were guerrillas from multiple countries present and claiming that the 'vast majority' of his 'army' was made up of Bolivians when in fact it was mostly made up of Cubans.

From a historical, social and political view this is a must read.I will ruin the ending for everyone though:
