What do Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, The RNC, Mitt Romney, Wayne La Pierre, The NRA and NRA President David Keene have in common?
They don’t know their enemy, nor how to fight back against them. They are insufferably out of touch, out of sync, and have no rhythm because they are all operating on broken historical paradigms.
Consider this latest round of NRA pushback as summed up by Jim Hoft in this headline at Gateway Pundit:
NRA Mocks Feinstein’s Ignorant Gun-Ban Bill: Next She’ll Want to Add “Nuclear Bomb” to Banned Gun Features – “Mocking“? Strong in the stupid force is this crew. Hoft puts a link to the NRA article which includes:
Feinstein’s 1994 ban listed “grenade launcher” as one of the prohibiting features for rifles. Her 2013 bill carries goes even further into the ridiculous, by also listing “rocket launcher.” Such devices are restricted under the National Firearms Act and, obviously, are not standard components of the firearms Feinstein wants to ban. Perhaps a subsequent Feinstein bill will add “nuclear bomb,” “particle beam weapon,” or something else equally far-fetched to the features list. (link)
This is the same insufferable mindset behind the “oh, no they can’t“, “they wouldn’t“, “that’s impossible“, approach toward legislative manipulations: (more…)
Major h/t to anwtex for doing the hard part….finding the video! 😀
This segment of the interview centers around the inconsistencies in both Sybrina and Tracy’s testimony regarding their son’s voice. The fact that the State withheld information regarding who was in attendance during an earlier meeting where Serino questioned Martin is more than troubling. Officer Bill Irwin, the same person who did the voice stress analysis on George, was sitting in on the earlier questioning of Martin….a corroborating fact that, until now, was unknown to the defense. Why did Sanford Police Capt. O’Connor and the State keep this information from the defense until they were deposed? O’Mara states it’s the same issue they keep having with all the witnesses…“They change – particularly after conversations with the State.”
Trayvon Martin’s family attorney Ben Crump, speaks with “In Session” TV correspondent Jean Casarez…and attempts to explain (as only he can) why he interviewed DeeDee shortly after Martin was shot.
Please read and pass along this article. We send good conservatives to D.C. to fulfill the promises they made to the electorate, and yet when they stay true to their word the permanent political class in their own party punishes them. This won’t be forgotten come 2014. Right now the GOP establishment is more concerned about the opinion of the media and the Georgetown cocktail circuit than they are “we the people” who hired them. For all this new talk of how the GOP needs a “populist movement,” it would do them good to remember they already have one; it’s called the Tea Party movement, and it won for them the majority they now enjoy in the House.
Some, heck, many, were wondering why we thought it prudent to quickly dispatch John Boehner into the land of perpetual irrelevance. Let.There.Be.No.Further.Doubt.
WASHINGTON DC – The fissure between the GOP establishment and Tea Party members in Congress blew wide open Monday evening when conservative members of Congress were suddenly removed from House financial committees.
RedState’s Erick Erickson was the first reliable source to share that conservatives were reportedly being removed from the House’s finance related committees by Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Shortly after, Roll Call reported that Rep. David Schweikert of Arizona had been removed from from the Financial Services Committee “for bucking the party line too often.” (more…)
Zbigniew Brzezinski is the father of msNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. Zbigniew Brzezinski is also the modern political architect of the Globalists – The ‘behind the curtain’ far-left leftists. Zbigniew Brzezinski is also the personal *mentor to President Barack Obama and the key figure behind the political world view carried by President Obama onto the world stage.
Calling the notion that the 21st century is the American century a “shared delusion,” Brzezinski stated that American domination was no longer possible because of an accelerating social change driven by “instant mass communications such as radio, television and the Internet,” which have been cumulatively stimulating “a universal awakening of mass political consciousness.”
The former US National Security Advisor added that this “rise in worldwide populist activism is proving inimical to external domination of the kind that prevailed in the age of colonialism and imperialism.” (more…)
WASHINGTON D.C. – The first serious proposals from the White House to solve the looming “fiscal cliff” of tax rises and budget cuts appear to have been rejected out of hand by Republican leaders in Congress.
Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner is reported to have offered a set of proposals that include increasing tax rates on the wealthy, a one-year postponement of scheduled cuts in defence and domestic spending, and $400bn in savings from *Medicare and other entitlement programmes.
The proposals from the White House – the first to use hard numbers – include a $1.6 tn tax increase, a $50bn stimulus package and new presidential powers to raise the federal debt limit without congressional approval. (more…)
The Poll Question was “who would you LEAST like to see as POTUS candidate 2016.
First the GOOD NEWS – A significant percentage of conservative bloggers picked Christie and Bush as least liked:
