Lemme see if I can predict the prog logic.   It’s all George Bush’s fault, guns are to blame and people who are not shopping are…

…..RACIST  !

Let’s hope the economic turn away from “stuff” is met with a purposeful turn toward “fellowship and faith”.    Alas, the most likely outcome is for Progs to demand that Obama fill the void and put government subsidized presents under their trees…. it’s only fair.

OBAMANOMICS WORLD  – Nowhere was the traffic void this weekend more evident than the Saks flagship store in New York City, with sales down 20 percent.

Just Wednesday I warned on CNBC’s “Street Signs,” business at Saks seemed particularly slow going into holiday. The level of markdown inventory the week before Super Saturday told the story, as did the ability to hear a pin drop during a 60 percent off sale. Sales associates are simply at a loss to explain why the customer has not shown up. Some are telling me this is the worst they have seen during their career with the company. (more…)

Via WZ who writes:  Blatant intimidation. Below is a screenshot of their map, if you hover over each red dot it displays the name and address of the person licensed to own a handgun.  Perhaps someone should publish the names and addresses of all the homes who do not have active home security systems ?

(Gannett Owned Journal News)   The map indicates the addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties. Each dot represents an individual permit holder licensed to own a handgun — a pistol or revolver. The data does not include owners of long guns — rifles or shotguns — which can be purchased without a permit. Being included in this map does not mean the individual at a specific location owns a weapon, just that they are licensed to do so. (more…)

Just another case of insufferable progdom. It’s outrageous that NRA head would recommend armed personnel in schools, yet same prog inquisitor has 11 armed guards in school surrounding his kids.

WASHINGTON DC – David Gregory mocked the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre for proposing that armed guards be at every school in America. But the NBC host seems to have no problem with armed guards protecting his kids everyday where they attend school in Washington, D.C.

“You proposed armed guards in school. We’ll talk about that in some detail in a moment. You confronted the news media. You blamed Hollywood and the gaming industry. But never once did you concede that guns could actually be part of the problem. Is that a meaningful contribution, Mr. LaPierre, or a dodge?,” asked Gregory. (more…)

Golly Wally, ain’t we already?….. I mean us being “bitter clingers” n’ all.

Perhaps, if people were permitted to be given intellectual credit, and if the new media would be courageous enough to take the Vetting position, the greater electorate would wake up to the TRUTH that President Barack Obama is a compulsive liar.

(Via GWP)  Obama Fabricated His Life Story at Senator Inouye’s Funeral  – It’s already been discussed that Barack Obama’s eulogy at Senator Inouy’s memorial in Washington DC was a tribute to himself and not the late Hawaiian senator.  Obama spoke for 10 minutes about himself and his life story, barely mentioning the life of Senator Inouye.

But it’s worse than that.  Barack Obama distorted his life story in order to include Senator Inouye in his talk.  Jack Cashill at American Thinker reported: (more…)

“I don’t know what his (Obama) biggest accomplishment would be.  I really don’t know that.  My biggest disappointment is the disunity.  President Obama ran saying “I’m going to be a unifier” and our nation is more divided than ever before.  I think our nation is more divided than any time since the Civil War.  That’s disheartening.”

Yesterday a petition to deport Piers Morgan was started on that stupid White House issues website. It got over 16,000  20,000  26,000 signatures with little to no publicity.

Today Piers Morgan reacts:

Ironic U.S. gun rights campaign to deport me for 'attacking 2nd Amendment rights' – is my opinion not protected under 1st Amendment rights?

Ha !   If you want to help the cause SIGN PETITION HERE –    WOLVERINES  !!

Receipt axin’ be raciss…   Gurrl, you so cra-cra…   

(Via GWP) East Saint Louis –  It’s considered normal procedure by most to be asked for your receipt while leaving a busy store like Best Buy with expensive items. But Latoya Greenwood, 38, didn’t take kindly to the request.

Police say she began shouting obscenities at the 61-year-old Fairview Heights Best Buy employee at the exit door. Her husband got into the act and smacked the man across the face, sending him down to the ground while his wife didn’t flinch and kept the curse words flying. (more…)

A new study by the respected National Bureau of Economic Research found that Progressive policies in general, and Democrats specifically were to blame for the subprime mortgage crisis and subsequent economic collapse.

Investor’s Business Daily reported:

Democrats and the media insist the Community Reinvestment Act, the anti-redlining law beefed up by President Clinton, had nothing to do with the subprime mortgage crisis and recession.

But a new study by the respected National Bureau of Economic Research finds, “Yes, it did. We find that adherence to that act led to riskier lending by banks.”

Added NBER: “There is a clear pattern of increased defaults for loans made by these banks in quarters around the (CRA) exam. Moreover, the effects are larger for loans made within CRA tracts,” or predominantly low-income and minority areas. (more…)
