Quote of the Day
From 45Superman over a recent kerfluffle on another post:
I'm starting to think that Twitter, for all its weaknesses, has one virtue with regard to gun bloggers. We can get along for 140 characters at a time--it's when we get room to stretch out that we piss each other off.
Exploiting Non-Tragedy
Even the failure of the Rapture can reap benefits:
...one local church is concerned that Camping's followers could slip into a deep depression come Sunday.I love it.
Pastor Jacob Denys of Milpitas-based Calvary Bible Church plans to wait outside the nonprofit's headquarters on Saturday afternoon, hoping to counsel believers who may be disillusioned if the Rapture does not occur.

The most dangerous game
Anybody familiar with my online persona knows I’m about as serious as a whoopee cushion covered in fake plastic vomit.
That’s not to say that I shouldn’t be taken seriously; just that my sense of humor and logic are often blurred beyond distinction. I also have the nasty habit of engaging in “the art of meeting strength.”
The concept is quite old relating to Martial Arts.
Identify your opponent’s weaknesses and exploit them. Then identify your opponent’s strengths and find a way to transform them INTO a weakness which you can exploit.
Which brings me to these two consecutive comments over on weerd’s blog concerning the threatened outing of japete’s home address…
“I wouldn’t do it either, but this was PERFECTLY played. Assuming they tried posting the info there, they KNEW she would moderate it so she’d block it. They KNEW that she can’t keep her mouth shut so she’d look like the fool for calling shenanigans. At the WORST, they would have called her out for not allowing the comment with her info on it.”-Tango
“That would be my guess. I haven’t heard peep from any of the pro-gun sites I read about her info being posted, so I bet whoever did it ONLY posted it there where Joan would be the only other party to see it.
Making it a classy way to turn up the heat…and the irony!”- Weerd Beard
This is a chess match being played between a Romulan and a Ferengie.
Whoever spent 2 minutes looking up her address and then commented on her blog, knew what the outcome would be. She only had two choices.
1. Cry foul and expose herself as the hypocrite she is for supporting CSGV for doing the exact same thing.
2. Totally ignore the comment and allow the memory hole to slowly eat away at her soul.
If I position my Knight correctly, I will take either your Rook or your Bishop. Try all you want, but you only have two choices…lose this or lose that and wait for my next move.
As an added bonus, the commenters who actually make it past her moderation predictably admonished the tactic and shamed this individual for taking the "low road." This compelled japete to publically thank those who oppose her and form a bond which did not previously exist. This result of her seeking solice with those who vehemently oppose her policies, will give her some pause when responding to those very people who do have their comments published.
Japete believes her moderation queue is a strength. Looks like somebody figured out a way to turn it into a weakness.
Did I ever mention how much I love chess?
UPDATE: It appears that japete is kinda sorta maybe rethinking the wisdom of "outing" people.

Traitors and Insurrectionists. Every Last One
The CSGV states:
From the NSSF:
Wow.
The only reason someone would "need" a semiauto assault rifle is to go to war w/ our gov't.And:
You wouldn't need a combat rifle for any purpose other than to kill law enforcement or military, and that's the point.
From the NSSF:
Nearly half (44 percent) of MSR owners are current or former military or law enforcement members.So half of the owners of Semi-auto's want to kill their former comrades and overthrow the Gov't?
Wow.
(More) Hypocrisy from Gun Control Advocates
When the CSGV started 'outing' bloggers, Brady Campaign board member Joan Peterson though it was a wonderful idea and encouraged them to continue.
Well someone has allegedly threatened to do the same to her and she doesn't like it.
The most ironic statement from her:
She retweeted those as well.
H/T to Weer'd Beard
"Thanks for the name. We need to keep track of these folks."Then they expanded their efforts up to and including city/state of residence and work places (which resulted in their suspension from Twitter and lots of lying). She retweeted nearly every single one.
Well someone has allegedly threatened to do the same to her and she doesn't like it.
The most ironic statement from her:
What are your intentions with such information? Mere intimidation or do you mean some sort of dangerous action?Well we asked the same thing of the CSGV when they started and were told we were going to be held 'accountable' for our words.
She retweeted those as well.

Gun Control; Lying to Win
Long story short.
Gun control group, frustrated at being shown up by pro-rights bloggers, starts 'outing' them. They go to far and get their Twitter account suspended.
In response, they start up again on Facebook and blatantly lie about what they actually did, deleting any responses telling the truth.
This is gun control advocacy in action folks. It's core is deception.

The Results of Being a Troll
Search for @CSGV on TweetDeck:
Heh.
I'm betting this isn't what he had in mind when he talked about people being held 'accountable' for their actions.
H/T to Linoge who includes the latest attempts by Ladd to distort the truth.
SIH has more and Tango.

TurnCoat
I've come to the realization that we're doomed as an independent nation and the new 'Red Dawn' movie won't be fiction for much longer.
So I've bowed to the inevitable and signed on to the People's Liberation Army - American Loyalist Brigade (PLA-ALB) and have been issued uniform and firearm.
Guess Ladd was right. I really am a traitor. Vichy all the way.
Chinese Tibetan Mountain Camo and a Norinco SKS. The Blouse, Pants and Boonie came from a company called AirsoftPark out of China. Prices were decent along w/ quality. Customer service was excellent. You need to be able to convert to Asian sizes though. The blouse was the same as was offered through SG recently. The ballcap isn't worth the money. Instead I got actual Chinese military issue ones through SG which fit perfectly.
The PLA patch was very poorly attached but some Fabri-tac fixed that. There was also a bit of spelling fail:
