Well, they make me safer. And my family safer. And that’s all that matters. To me. Beyond that, there’s not much need to delve into Frum’s tiresome argument, not least because most of the deterrent work of owning a gun doesn’t show up in statistics, largely because they prevent being targeted by criminals in the first place. And in truth, there are very few people who, at that moment just

“White House postpones harmful economic regulations until after the election”
Because though it’s all for our own good, there’s a strong chance we might not see it that way in time — and then we’d vote, you know, incorrectly. Later, when it’s forced on us and we no longer have any recourse to prevent it, then we’ll learn to love it. Like an arranged marriage, kind of. So exotic. So foreign. So noble.

“John Lott: Obama Told Me People Shouldn’t Be Able ‘To Own Guns'”
The Second Amendment is yet another example of shit those rich, white, slave-owning ingrates who dissed a gracious and goodly king, bolting from his glorious colonialist empire, got totally ass-backwards.

“Dem Congressman: Being Rich Is ‘A Privilege,’ You Must ‘Contribute Back'”
Ah, the nobility! Demanding that those who already pay 71% of the tax burden for the 50% of the population who pay next to nothing need to “contribute back” — because what they have they have by way of privilege. And who grants that privilege? Why the government, naturally. And who are “the rich” to “contribute back” to? Why, the granter of the privilege, of course. Don’t be so daft!

Romney is racist for going to Poland to appeal to racist voters, because of the RAAAAACISM [Darleen Click]
From Romney’s speech in Warsaw I began this trip in Britain and end it here in Poland: the two bookends of NATO, history’s greatest military alliance that has kept the peace for over half a century. While at 10 Downing Street I thought back to the days of Winston Churchill, the man who first spoke of the Iron Curtain that had descended across Europe. What an honor to stand in

California lessons: funds from “millionaire’s tax” for mental illness diverted [Darleen Click]
Keep this in mind for each time Obama and the Left demagogue about the eeeevvviiillleee rich not paying their “fair share.” As state mental health services have crumbled under budget cuts, tens of millions of dollars raised through a tax designed to help the mentally ill have gone to “wellness” programs like horseback riding for teens and yoga classes for city workers. And that’s by design. Voters approved Proposition 63,

credentialed sexual predators vs. students
Guess which side the Teachers’ Unions have been backing. We are so over.

what life is like in a post-Constitutional America, 14
Evidently, it’s a lot like a bad episode of “Miami Vice”. Only without the pastel t-shirts and five-o’clock shadows. Or the successes. But don’t worry. Once we have those domestic EPA drones armed, the police state will run much more smoothly. Forward! (h/t newrouter)

“Internet Tax Bill Would Allow Taxation Without Representation”
Sure, in the final tally, nobody benefits but the government. But revenue is revenue, and the ends justify the means. Also, the TEA Party is a bunch of racist fringe extremists looking to take us back to the days of slavery and state sanctioned lynchings. Which is an unrelated observation, but I figured I throw it out there anyway.

“Fox: No Body Armor for Aurora Theater Shooter”
Wait, you mean the mainstream press got it wrong — and their misreporting accidentally fueled the very natural concern of caring government officials who, ordinarily, would never have tried to take away our access to weaponry more powerful than a pocket .22? Well knock me over with a Chuck Schumer pastrami fart.
