We are indeed a “divided America”. Both with Deep Water…
….and with shallow genes (more…)
MINNESOTA – President Obama on Monday tried to undercut National Rifle Association leaders and appeal directly to their membership, claiming gun owners support the “common-sense” gun control measures he’s proposed — and urging those supporters to “keep the pressure” on Congress.
The president spoke in Minnesota, in his first campaign-style stop as part of a second-term push for new firearms laws.
On the other side of that debate, the NRA has aggressively argued against Democrats’ call for a new and stronger assault-weapons ban, a ban on high-capacity magazines and universal background checks. But in a risky move, the president used his speech Monday to try and sideline America’s most powerful gun lobby. (more…)
Ron Paul sent out a tweet today.

Interestingly enough I was just talking about this yesterday. It is quite possible to be so far in one direction on the “Freedom Continuum” that you circle back around to the complete opposite side. (more…)
Last week we discussed Osama Bin Laden Jr. being captured by Turkish authorities. Now reports are coming out they just let him walk.
(Washington Free Beacon) Turkish authorities reportedly captured and then released Friday morning the fugitive son-in-law of terror mastermind Osama bin Laden after he was allegedly caught entering the country illegally, according to Turkish press reports.
Suleiman M., bin Laden’s son-in-law, was reportedly arrested in Ankara by Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization after United States intelligence sources in Washington, D.C., informed Turkish authorities of his location, according to a report in Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News.
A CNN Turkey reporter additionally tweeted early this morning that “bin Laden’s son in law was caught in Ankara,” according to a translation of her tweet in Turkish. (more…)
Seriously, I don’t want to frame what he is saying, nor provide any interpretation of it other than what he is actually advocating. Just listen and think for yourself what exactly is Jesse Jackson calling for (It’s only two minutes):
We have written, researched, shared, discussed and dissected the “Decepticons” at great length. Decepticons are Deceptive Conservatives.
Many people are familiar with the term “RINO”, Republican in Name Only. But that is NOT a Decepticon. RINO’s are openly anti-constitution, anti-freedom and self-interested Big Government types (See John McCain and Lyndsey Graham). Occasionally RINO’s align with freedom principles over issues like Benghazi. But in general RINO’s are totally comfy with the TSA, The Patriot Act, and other freedom reducing aspects of big government.
Decepticons on the other hand, are the back-stabbing sneaky types; manipulative Super-Rino’s, or RINO’s on steroids sitting in Corinthian Leather chairs, drinking taxpayer-funded cognac, eating sandwiches without crusts, wearing pinky rings and plotting how to manipulate, and yet keep their machinations hidden. Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Orin Hatch are examples of Decepticons. (more…)

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.
“The sensationalized, fact-deficient coverage of this case has achieved the
desired results. The networks got their ratings. The politicians got their
talking points. And if it means innocent people get caught in the middle of the
racial enmity they’ve fomented, obviously it’s considered acceptable collateral
damage. Congratulations, geniuses. Job well done.” Jim Treacher, The DC Trawler
