— which purports to be a pro-Second Amendment site. And it appears to be just that, too: in fact, it looks like a pro-gun group claimed the name on facebook, something I’m sure the progressives who run the social media site will find is a violation of some term of agreement, once Bloomberg — who started an organization by the same name (as I noted here yesterday) — throws a
“BREAKING: Bloomberg Launches Everytown for Gun Safety”
And as you would expect, one of its first releases relies on a contrived emotional appeal, as if accidental death from handguns were reason enough to take away our unalienable right to secure our lives and property, as outlined in the Second Amendment. This reminds me of the infamous anti-Goldwater ad, as well as the legion of ads run against Ronald Reagan — or “Ronny Raygun,” as those clever wags
“BANANA REPUBLICANS: New Head Of Virginia GOP on Eric Cantor’s Payroll”
Conflict of interest, you say? Why, balderdash. Twas but a simple misunderstanding, surely. An accidental oversight. Of which we’ll be told Cantor had no direct knowledge. PJM: On a local website co-managed by Shaun Kenney, the newly appointed executive director of the Virginia GOP, a colleague of Kenney’s admitted last night that Kenney’s political fundraising and consulting firm is employed by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Cantor is now campaigning
On Federal Land Management, desert tortoises, and range wars
On his show last night, Mark Levin referenced a fascinating 2002 study by Ron Utt, PhD, that — using the government’s own data — showed developed land in the US was, at the time, 5.2 % in the contiguous 48 states; and that even that figure was likely high. From the study: According to the most widely available land use survey/report recently published by the United States Department of Agriculture
“RNC Sues IRS Over Information Stonewalling on Targeting Scandal”
A lawsuit? How about just cutting to the chase and pass a bill abolishing the goddamn thing in favor of a flat tax — at least until we can get a convention of the states convened wherein an amendment for a repeal of the income tax and its replacement with a fair tax can gain momentum. This agency is the partisan police arm of an horrific health insurance charade that
“Harry Reid on Bundy Ranch Showdown: ‘It’s not Over’; Rory Reid says Bundy should be Prosecuted”
Breitbart: Following remarks Senate Majority leader Harry Reid made at the University of Nevada, Reno on Monday, the Nevada Democrat told Reno’s KRNV TV his thoughts on the cattle controversy in Gold Butte. “Well, it’s not over. We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over,” Reid said. There is no question that there were a lot of
“Oligarchy, not democracy: Americans have ‘near-zero’ input on policy – report”
Gee. What a shocker. Of course, here, elites are classified by wealth, giving he whole study a kind of Marxist feel, with undertones that speak to “income inequality” (read: a condition of liberty) — whereas if there weren’t politicians willing to be directed or “nudged” by bribery or other favors from cronies in our current corporatist system, money wouldn’t much matter. The problem is not money. The problem is that
“University calls the amount of white people on campus a ‘failure,’ asks for ideas on how to have fewer”
Looking for ways to limit whites on campus isn’t racism, you see. It’s a push for “diversity” — because, let’s face it, all white people have the same ideas, same social experiences, same nurtured backgrounds, and are essentially carbon copies of one another, a kind of pale horde, indistinguishable from one another and therefore, because of sheer numbers, overdetermined on university campuses. To argue otherwise just proves how racist you
Defining the terms
I suppose one could argue that we still have a relatively free press, but what one can also argue is that — because it’s a press that has become an arm of progressive activism and big government — the freedom it has is being used not as a check on the powerful, but rather as a propaganda arm for them. Which says to me that we need, institutionally, to begin
Question: why “voter supression, “paycheck fairness,” and the Koch bros.?
Answer: it’s who they are. It’s what they do. And when they’re panicked, it gets even worse. Not to mention, more and more partisan and incoherent. I wonder: did the people — the vast majority Democrats or more avowed leftists / Marxists / socialists / communists — who actually attended the speech denouncing photo IDs as Republican tools of racist voter suppression, have to show a photo ID in order
