Typical liberal political maneuvering: your first set of irresponsible legislation set the stage for mass slaughter of innocents. So naturally the answer is to express outrage, then double down by punishing law-abiding gun owners, turning many of them who will almost assuredly refuse to comply into instant criminals. And maybe “crazy people.” — Which seems to be the progressive’s tack: turn law-abiding gun owners into criminals with mental health issues

Only this time, I’m not on the hot seat. Let me just say this, quickly: if we as conservatives are not willing at this point — having been called enemies, racists, murderers, potential terrorists, et al., by our own government — to accept that what we’re dealing with is indeed a malicious attack on our individual sovereignty and an intentional plan to undermine our constitutional republic and replace it with

Amazingly, Obama’s coronation — with its attendant resplendency and its overtly evangelical overtones — didn’t cure me. Maybe next time, if he does some snake handling… At any rate, I’ve agreed to appear, likely from the comfort of one of my bathrooms, with Cam and Co. on NRA News at 2:40 ET, to discuss my response to Josh Marshall’s frankly strange piece on gun tribalism, which was, incidentally, the “reasonable-sounding”

In my email today: Darleen — I just renewed my oath of office to serve as your president for four more years. Thank you for making this possible. It’s an honor to be your president. Now it’s time to finish what we started — let’s get going. Barack P.S. — Organizing for Action is the next step in our grassroots movement and will be crucial to finishing what we started.

No, it didn’t help. I’ve got some sort of stomach bug. Forgive me, but you’re on your own for the Obama beatification ceremonies and celebrations. Consider this an open thread. Helpfully vomit free. Meantime, here’s my very old piece on “race” and racial constructivism — which I like to share on MLK Day — made all the more timely by the “post-racial,” “post-partisan” President and his very real applications of

The kind of “extreme fringe group” that led the fight to defeat gun control measures that disarmed blacks. But then, I guess when you’re a Democrat and a progressive, disarming minorities and assuming control over subjects — that is, state slavery — is an historic norm. Making anything that protects liberty and equality of opportunity appear “fringe” to you. Not to mention a nuisance. If only these fringey people would

But don’t call him an imperial President. Or speak of “nullification.” Or even “Chicago-style politics.” Those are all code words for “you’re just angry that it’s taken a brilliant black man to correct all the flaws in the Constitution as written by a bunch of treasonous white vermin assholes. Cracker.” And nobody wants to be caught speaking in racist code. (h/t nr)

After all, he pays taxes for police and a standing professional army, does he not? He’s covered. So for him to get his hands dirty — and that’s what gun ownership is, a kind of uncouth, quasi-racist filth caked to the paws of those anti-commonsense gun-nut extremists we’ve been hearing from lately, who watch too many movies and fantasize about using their firearms to protect their families or communities (like
