The progressive left loves to use visible victims as tools to push their ideological causes.   Perhaps in this instance, prior to jumping on the Gabby Giffords gun ban-wagon (aka “gun violence prevention”), the people of Newtown Connecticut could pause and remember a prior story from Cheshire, another town a little less than ten miles away.

Personally I would much like to see Dr. Petit in the “gun debate” and gain his perspective on what he would have done with a firearm at the time of his victimization.  I most certainly would like to see him strongly pushing back against the opportunistic Gabby and Mark Giffords.

CHESHIRE, CONNECTICUT    Aug. 6 — Dr. William A. Petit Jr., his head bloodied and legs bound, stumbled out of a rear basement door of his two-story home here into a pouring rain, calling the name of a neighbor for help.

The neighbor heard the shouting, but so did the two men inside the house, who peeked outside from an upstairs window. They were both serial burglars with drug habits, having racked up numerous convictions for stealing car keys and pocketbooks.

This time, they took something far more precious. (more…)

We were going to write last week about the Gabby Giffords opportunistic visit to Sandy Hook parents in Newtown, CT.   We chose not to, because of the grandma principle behind saying nothing when ya ain’t got nothing good to say; and she is cognitively disabled.  However…..

Gabrielle Giffords is merely a useful tool in the scheme to disarm gun owners.   The “crisis” not to be wasted is obviously the Newtown shooting;  And the group or individual to be “alinskyed” ie isolated, ridiculed and marginalized, is the NRA.

Most gun owners are not NRA members, and many gun owners do not like the previous positions of the NRA on other political issues.   But the Alinsky Team of Fabian Socialists need a specific target – that’s where the NRA comes in.   The NRA is specifically and optically being intentionally built into the narrative of ‘all gun owners’.  It’s how this crew works.

WASHINGTON DC – Former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords D-Ariz. launched a new policy group this morning dubbed Americans for Responsible Solutions. The organization calls for government action to stop gun violence. (more…)

If anyone wants to go back and look at historical references to Germany circa 1933/1934 this is profoundly similar in ideology.    Jewish Mayor Ed Koch supported, and endorsed, candidate Obama even though he knew Obama was hateful toward Israel.   Koch, says he figured Obama would win, so it would be better to support him and maybe Obama would go easier ‘on his’ people after the endorsement.

It’s like we’ve entered a time-warp back to the time of Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

Hitler knew his opponents were divided and couldn’t unite against him.  He would play them off each other brilliantly and would consolidate his power with breathtaking speed and a calculating ruthlesses for which no one was prepared.  On February 3 (still 1933) Goebbels wrote in his diary: “Now it will be easy to carry on the fight, for we can call on all the resources of the State.  Radio and press are at our disposal.  We shall stage a masterpiece of propaganda.  And this time, naturally, there is no lack of money.”  [ p. 145 of Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas]

In Discussing HAGEL – I admire former Mayor Ed Koch’s willingness to break with his own party on issues of principle, but his comments to the Algemeiner today are mind-boggling. In between some very strong denunciations of the Chuck Hagel nomination, Koch casually let it drop that he suspected Obama would abandon his pro-Israel positions after the election. The former mayor, of course, endorsed Obama’s reelection and served as one of his surrogates to the pro-Israel community: (more…)

WARNING – This report is disturbing in the extreme: Perhaps nothing should shock the psyche any longer, but this sure does.   This investigative report outlines women in South Africa who are intentionally drinking moonshine type alcohol to generate disabled babies.

The unhealthy, or disabled, baby born is worth FIVE TIMES more in social welfare benefits than a healthy child – so they choose to intentionally create babies born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.   For them it is merely a factor of quantified economics…  For the baby a life of disability, incapacity and dependency.

Suckas’…. Nothing is more annoying that watching a mainstream media outlet fall for the seeded psy-ops White House cover stories dropped with varying degrees of seperation and plausible deniability. The ONLY reason Lisa Jackson quit was because Richard Windsor’s 12,000 emails were about to be poured through the filter of congressional investigation.

WASHINGTON DC – EPA chief Lisa Jackson suddenly resigned last week because she was convinced that President Obama is planning to green-light the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline, The Post has learned.

“She was going to stay on until November or December,” said a Jackson insider. “But this changed it. She will not be the EPA head when Obama supports it [Keystone] getting built.” (more…)

If you choose to “live free” you should “Die”…..  Some of that ‘civility stuff’ the Progressive Left loves to banter about;  As if they had any… 

New Hampshire – [F]or those unaware, a conservative project of sorts has been underway in New Hampshire since 2001. The idea is that Americans of conservative ideals are to move to New Hampshire, gather in communities, run for office, and work to drive the state toward libertarianism and conservatism. It is called the “Free State Project” and adherents are called “Free Staters.”

These Free Staters figure that the state’s motto, “Live Free or Die,” should really mean something and it is these citizens whose freedoms legislator Chase wants to oppress.

In her December 21 post, Chase wrote that, “Free Staters are the single biggest threat the state is facing today.” (more…)

Makes sense when you think about the pending LGBT opposition to Chuck Hagel for Defense Secretary.   If Barney can reach the Senate, he can deflect opposition by providing President Obama “Gay Credibility” in the confirmation process.  The Gay and Lesbian community will shut up if Barney Frank supports Hagel. 

BOSTON — Gov. Deval L. Patrick said that retired U.S. Rep. Barney Frank is a gifted legislator and would make a great interim senator.

“He is definitely on the list,” Patrick told reporters Friday. “I think he would be a great interim senator.”

Patrick’s comments came at a Statehouse press conference after Frank, a Newton Democrat, told MSNBC that he wants the governor to appoint him as an interim replacement for U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry. President Barack Obama has nominated Kerry to be secretary of state.

Responding to a reporter’s question, Patrick said it would be logical to appoint Frank, partly because he knows the issues in Washington and could hit the ground running. (article)

I’ve Never Seen Anything Like It’: N.C. Police Lieutenant Warns Of Martial Law In Early 2013, Says Training Has Begun

Was the Illinois Gun Ban [home state of Emanuel, Jarrett, Axelrod and Obama] the trial balloon to see how public responses to gun bans and confiscation would occur? (Via Washington Examiner) President Obama’s home state of Illinois won’t be the first to approve post-Sandy Hook Elementary School gun control measures after all, thanks in part to the Second Amendment advocacy of the National Rifle Association. (more…)

…. see below post because apparently it worked.

New York Times – Al Gore’s Current TV was never popular with viewers, but it was a hit where it counted: with cable and satellite providers. When he co-founded the channel in 2005, Mr. Gore managed to get the channel piped into tens of millions of households — a huge number for an untested network — through a combination of personal lobbying and arm-twisting of industry giants.

He called on those skills again after deciding in December to sell Current TV toAl Jazeera for $500 million. To preserve the deal — and the estimated $100 million he would personally receive — he went to some of those same distributors, who were looking for an excuse to drop the low-rated channel, and reminded them that their contracts with Current TV called it a news channel. Were the distributors going to say that an American version of Al Jazeera didn’t qualify, possibly invoking ugly stereotypes of the Middle Eastern news giant? (more…)
