And while I know many here are pro-law enforcement without reservation, it’s stuff like this –misinformation from someone you’d expect to know better — that makes me less willing than ever to hand domestic security over to police alone. Speaking of the ex-con who set an elaborate ambush to kill two firefighters, the NYPost reports: Cops believed [William Spengler Jr, who isn’t allowed to own a gun, being an ex-felon,
Amb. Chris Stevens still dead, State Department officials still keep jobs [Darleen Click]
That’s their priorities The four officials supposedly out of jobs because of their blunders in the run-up to the deadly Benghazi terror attack remain on the State Department payroll — and will all be back to work soon, The Post has learned. The highest-ranking official caught up in the scandal, Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, has not “resigned” from government service, as officials said last week. He is just
“[…] our federal government has zero moral authority to legislate against violence.”
Interesting piece from Ron Paul, who argues that when it comes to the fight over gun rights and legislation, both progressives and conservatives are wrong: The senseless and horrific killings last week in Newtown, Connecticut reminded us that a determined individual or group of individuals can cause great harm no matter what laws are in place. Connecticut already has restrictive gun laws relative to other states, including restrictions on fully automatic,
Merry Christmas, Eva Braun / Janet Hasson! [updated: Did reporter / paper break the law? Probably not.]
So. You want to use your liberal rag to publish the names and addresses of legal conceal carry gun owners in your area? Okay.

Obama: most Americans don’t want military-style assault weapons; high-capacity magazines
Fortunately for those Americans, they aren’t compelled to own either — though they have an unalienable to right to own both, and no right to deny me my natural right to self defense. Meanwhile, most Americans don’t want ObamaCare. And they have no choice in the matter. Because Justice Roberts. So. The defense rests. Honestly: are these the kinds of bleating idiots (Penn Jillette excluded) who you want crying for
“Northwestern U. Marxism conference packed with teachers”
To be fair, I’m sure many of them were there just to learn about this strange alien ideology the teabaggers are always railing against, not because they are sympathetic to the ideas of positive rights, political correctness, a heavily progressive income tax, public sector unionization, government redistribution of wealth, an egalitarian-based civil society, or the Balkanization of the population into manageable (and often competing) identity groups — leaving the technocratic
