“The facts don’t matter to Bob Schieffer. Bob Schieffer’s a cheerleader. He’s a clapping seal. Somebody give him a ball so he can balance it on his nose.”  – Mark Levin

STORY HERE –  […] Schieffer appeared on CBS after Obama’s gun control press conference, calling it one of the president’s “best speeches” and reminding the audience that the gun lobby is less formidable compared to tougher obstacles America faced in the past, such as defeating the Germans in WWII, and passing civil rights legislation despite a segregationist South.

The eat treebark and twigs crowd is going batsh!t crazy that John Mackey is an advocate of capitalism and finds Obamacare to be anti-capitalist.   Excellent interview on Greta Van Sustern last night – Click Here

(Via NPR)  Whole Foods has played a key role in propelling organic foods into the mainstream. The specialty supermarket chain has more than 300 stores and plans to continue expanding. But outspoken founder and co-CEO John Mackey is not the crunchy granola liberal one might conjure while perusing aisles of earnestly labeled blue corn chips and gently misted red peppers. […]

When Inskeep asks him if he still thinks the health law is a form of socialism, as he’s said before, Mackey responds:

“Technically speaking, it’s more like fascism. Socialism is where the government owns the means of production. In fascism, the government doesn’t own the means of production, but they do control it — and that’s what’s happening with our health care programs and these reforms.” (more…)

This has all the keen indicators of a back-fire waiting to happen.   Great opportunity for 2nd Amendment supporters to show the majority voice….   The one thing you can always count on with Progs is their entrenched echo-chamber ideology keeping them isolated from the “real views” of Americans, See: ObamaCare.

How much you want to bet this idea gets scrapped before the end of next week.

WASHINGTON DC – Vice President Biden said he and President Obama will tour the country making the case for gun control laws – the centerpiece of which is a requirement that all gun buyers submit to a federal background check.

Biden, speaking to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, devoted the heart of his remarks to pushing the background check requirement twinned with pleas that state and federal governments share their information on prospective gun purchasers. (more…)

There is no reasonable doubt, Obama’s decision is a payback for McDonough’s unyeilding loyalty in handling both Fast and Furious and Benghazigate.

The picture of President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Chief of Staff Jack Lew, National Security Advisor(s) Denis McDonough and Tom Donilon, has drawn quite a bit of attention. Not from the main stream media – but from independent-minded research bloggers and seekers of truth.

The backstory that began the research is HERE, and the ultimate unraveling of the riddle behind what was actually taking place is HERE. But the issues that surround the team pictured are larger and even more consequential. (more…)

Piers keeps going on the “Do you want a tank” issue…. ridiculous. Typical Prog. Who cares. Airplanes have been used to murder more people than “tanks”, and someone tell this doofus you can indeed still buy an airplane if you have enough money.

DUH !

Too good not to share via iOTW

“This is our first task as a society: keeping our children safe. This is how we will be judged.  We can’t put this off any longer.”

– Barack Obama 1/16/2013 

“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”

Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler, Publ. Houghton Miflin, 1943, Page 403

Ben took Piers by surprise in the previous appearance.   Morgan was not expecting an intellectual and direct confrontation.   Morgan is used to cowering people with his aggressive bully tactics.   Ben turned the table on him and made Morgan look like a jackass.  This was round one:

Subsequently ego driven Piers Morgan has invited Shapiro back for round #2.  Ben fully expects this to be an ambush interview with Piers throwing his bombs while hiding behind children and victims.    Ben Shapiro knows full well “why” Piers is inviting him back….. and Ben is willing to walk into the guantlet once more.

This might be worth watching !

“I will put everything I’ve got into this and so will Joe [Biden]. But I tell you, the only way we can change is if the American people demand it,” said Obama. “We are going to need voices in those areas and congressional districts where the tradition of gun ownership is strong.”

“It can’t just be the usual suspects,” he continued. “This will not happen unless the American people demand it.”

Let me emphasize that central line again:  ……”We are going to need voices in those areas and congressional districts where the traditions of gun ownership is strong“…..  FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE !

(excerpt from Huffpo)  […] The proposal, which comes at the end of a month-long review process spearheaded by Vice President Joe Biden, is broken down into four key subsections: law enforcement, the availability of dangerous firearms and ammunition, school safety and mental health.

In an effort to touch on all four of those elements, the president recommended:

• requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales  (a national registry)
• reinstating the assault weapons ban (under the new definition for assault weapons where all semi-automatics are considered “assault – See Fienstein Bill)
• restoring a 10-round limit on ammunition magazines
• eliminating armor-piercing bullets  (also caliber restrictions)
• providing mental health services in schools (and required reporting)
• allocating funds to hire more police officers  (federal)
• and instituting a federal gun trafficking statute, among other policies. (more…)
