LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A small but startling sign welcomed the gun lovers who arrived at the National Rifle Association’s annual gathering Friday. “Firearms WILL NOT be allowed in Hall A during the Celebration of American Values Leadership Forum.”

AREN’T THESE THE GOOD FOLKS WHO SUPPORT PACKIN’ GUNS IN RESTAURANTS, CARS AND NATIONAL PARKS! BUT, HEAVENS NO!!!, NOT AT THEIR PARTY!!

WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF?

It is time for serious talk about gun control in this country. If the NRA is afraid to allow them into their annual conference, they sure don’t belong in our local pancake house.

At Gettysburg Cemetary in 1863, as the two armies slugged it out, there was a sign that read, “the discharge of firearms is prohibited”. True.

So all of the soldiers who fired their weapons there could have been jailed and fined, technically speaking.

So it is with the concealed weapons law. If they conceal their weapon they’re right as rain. If they expose their weapon they face prosecution pain.

I’m not trying to be Chicken Little, but accidental discharge of a unloaded, concealed weapon is the greatest threat to unsuspecting diners.

Nobody can afford the gas to eat out anyway, so only the rich will carry concealed weapons in restaurants. and who cares about them?

Now, if their unloaded, concealed weapons accidently discharge while their filling up with gas, then a catastrophe can occur. kaboom. Imagine if there’s a gasoline truck resupplying the inventory near the pumps when the unloaded, concealed weapon goes off. Then imagine there’s a propane truck stopped at a red light within 50 feet of the gasoline truck. Then imagine it’s near a nuclear power plant, and then imagine that all of this occurs in a poulty farm district with tens of millions of chickens just hanging around.

but go ahead and conceal your weapons and make sure they’re unloaded. Nothing could possibly go wrong, go wrong. go wrong

go wrong

The comments below are a perfect example of why blogging doesn’t work. They make no sense. And are gratuitous insults to an imagined opposition that doesn’t exist. i know of no liberals who “p** on bibles”, for instance. It’s inflammatory rhetoric which adds nothing to the discussion.

I think this blog is intended to be a commentary on the cartoon. I find the cartoon mildly amusing, not one of his best, but that may be because I still support Hillary since she has the experience he lacks. Now I expect we’ll hear a lot of misogynistic comments from the idiots who normally blog around this cartoon.

[John McCain says we’re fighting in Iraq to plant “the seeds of democracy,” but the firm of his chief political adviser Charlie Black made millions lobbying for the world’s worst tyrants.— … Ferdinand Marcos, who executed thousands of his own citizens in the Philippines…— …Zaire’s Mobuto, who publicly hanged his opponents and looted his country’s vast mineral wealth…— …and rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, a mass murderer, who covered Angola with landmines.]#(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/16/mccains-lobbyist-scandalsn102037.html)

Keep attuned to the nonsense, fools. No one wants to read about suicide bombers or failed surges or Bushie’s staggering ineptitude anymore. McCain is wobbling around out there, defending it. Just shut the hell up and forget all about Iraq, let it just keep chruning and eating away and killing until the economy collapses and Halliburton and Lockheed and Bush’s puppet masters make a few more hundred billion dollars off the backs of young and exhausted soldiers who only joined the military because they couldn’t afford college or get a decent paying job in our economy or buy a home. The GOP still desperately needs middle Merkans to hate, to seethe, to burn with fear at least until election time so McShame can leverage America’s latent loathing of dark-skinned people and further convince the remains of Bush’s maniacal base that we need to invade and destroy and kill a great many more people in order to remain free and happy.

I read over the weekend that you didn’t believe that Obama was a Muslim. I agree with you that from our viewpoint he isn’t, but under Islamic law he is not only a Muslim but an apostate too.

His father was at one time a Muslim and even if his father became an apostate by disavowing Islam his offspring are still considered Muslims and the religion of the mother is meaningless in their eyes.

So the Islamic world in general and the militant Islamic world in particular considers him the worst kind of Muslim

You are going to need a lot of reasons to vote for Obama because you’ve got a lot to overlook.

Sam Nunn is not going to get any closer to Obama than a ten foot pole, but still waving the Democratic Donkey flag on it. ONE of the national security advisors is like being on a committee of hundreds.

What we need is someone who ALREADY has experience in national security, not someone who has not given a minute of thought to it. Obama may look like a Boy Scout who can rub two sticks together and make fire, but he couldn’t light a fire with a blow torch.

Well Gary, I know the libs don’t consider “them people”, but I and others like me (conservatives) do regardless of their race.

“Abortion is the number one killer of black Americans—killing more black people than all other deaths combined,” said Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-life Union. “Yet there are black men and women who stand in support of the vicious killing of our smallest children—all in order to win popularity contests or for the coveted prize of becoming the first black president of the United States.”

Barack Obama, an African-American U.S. senator from Illinois who leads in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, strongly supports abortion rights.

Why do you hate African Americans and their babies Gary?

RW:

I’m assuming you also saw the CSM piece on “THE APOSTATE OBAMA”. I had never thought about it from the OBL propoganda angle, but I can see how it would/should add to the concerns of electing Obama as president.

Let’s think about this….if Obama would just drop out, it would diminish the call to radical extremism. Simple! but he probably doesn’t think that much about his country. Michelle sure doesn’t. (IWH)

Bosch:

There’s little difference between Hillary and Barack on the issues. Obama has a tendency to obfuscate while Hillary pontificates.

Barack Obama suggested Friday that he has more foreign policy experts from the Clinton administration backing his candidacy over Hillary Rodham Clinton’s, but lists provided by both campaigns show hers is nearly twice as long.

(((Clinton’s campaign provided 85 names of her husband’s former foreign policy advisers who are publicly backing her, while Obama’s campaign provided 47.)))

Asked how Obama backs up the claim of greater support, campaign spokesman Bill Burton said the senator was referring to an article that ran in The New York Times Magazine last month, which quoted an anonymous foreign policy expert saying most of the community was backing Obama.

Obama gets his “facts” about who his advisors are from the NYT? I wonder if he had to ahhh…ummm…had to think…ummm about…ahhh that. 57 states - no make that 60 states and counting. 57 with one more to go, not including Hawaii and Alaska.

@@ - Hutchison is actually the logical choice. She is a fiscal conservative with traditional views on social issues, but she is not a dinosaur. She is also extremely bright. Her drawback is that she has been in the Senate for a long, long time as well. Her strength is that she does have some administrative experience as the State Treasurer of Texas.

She shores up the base and she also appeals to moderate women who might be on the fence. She is also young enough (born in 1943) that she will be around for a while, especially since it is known that women tend to live longer lives nowadays.

Pawlenty is youthful, vigorous and SMART. He also has won two tough elections in left-leaning Minnesota and has held the line on taxes.

A look at the recent Special Election in Northern Mississippi shows just how bad it is for the republican party. In the primary (there were a number of candidates) the democrat got 49% the republican got 46%. Since neither candidate got 50%; another election had to be held. Before the Special election Cheney came to town, Rove showed up, the republicans called Obama a muslim, the republicans linked the democrat to Obama, they dusted off the race card. This District is a solid (safe) republican District. WHOOPS!! Guess what happened? The democrat won 54% to 46%! The democrat increased his vote total by 147%!

Now, isn’t that sweet.

American Commander kisses Qu’ran before giving it to Sunni’s:

He must be a closet Muslim, eh, RW?

Iraqi police found the desecrated copy of the Muslim holy book on May 11 at a small shooting range near a police station in Radwaniya, a mostly Sunni district on Baghdad’s western outskirts, Buckner said. The volume was riddled with bullets and had graffiti inside the cover. Community leaders were outraged and threatened to stop helping the U.S. military fight the Sunni Arab militant group Al Qaeda in Iraq, said Ayad Jabouri, a tribal leader and member of the country’s largest Sunni political party. The U.S. command ordered an immediate investigation. “Commanders have since briefed local leaders on the results of the investigation and expressed their deep regret,” Buckner said. “They have also undertaken disciplinary action against the soldier who was involved, and he has been removed from Iraq.” The military did not release the soldier’s name or detail how he would be disciplined, saying that the case was still being adjudicated. A CNN crew was present when Army Maj. Gen. Jeffery Hammond, the commander of U.S. troops in Baghdad, met Saturday with tribal leaders in Radwaniya to offer an apology before a crowd of angry protesters. “I am a man of honor. I am a man of character. You have my word, this will never happen again,” Hammond was quoted as saying in the CNN report. “In the most humble manner, I look in your eyes today, and I say please forgive me and my soldiers.” Col. Ted Martin, commander of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, then presented the tribal leaders with a new Koran, which he first kissed and touched to his forehead. Jabouri said local sheiks had accepted the apology. “Muslims and Arabs are targeted everywhere in the world,” he said. “The apology was very important to calm people down and convince them that not all soldiers, not all Americans, have the same opinion of Islam.” Shiite lawmaker Haidar Fakhrildeen, a member of parliament’s religious affairs committee, said he did not expect the matter to escalate.

DID YOU READ THAT, NEO-CONS? “Not all Americans have the same opinion of Islam!”

Daniel, even with the price of gas we don’t have rampant inflation. We also DO NOT HAVE GAS LINES. Perhaps you are too young to remember when old Dummy Carter was president. We also don’t have interest rates at 21%. We did then and will again. Our deficits, as a portion of the GDP are actually not as high as they have been in the past. That argument is sperious anyway.

Goldie - two years will be more than enough time. Socialism is a failed philosophy. So is appeasement. Obama is for both. I just pray that we make it that far!

ITN - At this point tax cuts will benefit the rich the most as 60% of the income taxes are paid by only 10% of the population. In fact, fewer people pay income taxes now than ever before. This phenomenon is thanks to the reforms implemented during the Reagan administration. It is therefore very easy to demagogue this issue.

I will also remind you that rich people don’t just keep their money under a mattress. Usually they invest it or spend it, thereby creating more jobs. The Demoncrats found this out in 1991 with their famous ‘luxury’ tax when they put so many workers on the unemployment lines because the rich folks stopped buying boats.

AJC Management loves criminal coddlers.

Scalia votes to overturn death sentence on technicality:

“The latest decision on Monday overturned the death sentence of Timothy Ring, a man convicted in Arizona seven years ago of participating in the fatal 1994 robbery of an armored car, and simultaneously overturned all the death sentences currently on appeal in five states, including Arizona.

At issue was Arizona’s practice of having judges, instead of jurors, deciding whether a convicted person deserved death or life in prison without parole. While a jury had found Ring guilty because he had helped plan the robbery, trial testimony had not placed him at the scene of the crime, and thus they did not find evidence of premeditation. At a sentencing hearing before a judge, there was further testimony from an accomplice in the crime who claimed Ring had not only been at the scene but had been the shooter of the driver of the armored car. On that basis the judge sentenced him to die.

Much attention was focused on Justice Antonin Scalia because two years ago he had written a strong opinion in support of the court’s 5-4 ruling in a case called Apprendi v. New Jersey.

In the end Scalia bowed to the new precedent he had helped set by Apprendi.”

Scalia is such a bleeding heart liberal pansy. The guy is guilty, why all of this p***-footing around? Consistency? What a cop out. I guess he thinks the Constitution applies to murderers. He and the rest of you limp-wristed liberals make me sick. I want a justice who when faced with a technical issue on a death penalty case, rather than cracking a book that he grabs a bat, finds the guy and start cracking his skull until he’s dead for whining about some Constitutional mumbo-gumbo.

We need some justices that understand the irrelvancy of a document that a bunch of dead guys wrote hundreds of years ago. We should be forward thinking like Bush who realized that Habeas Corpus which was first introduced as a legal impediment to the King’s power to incarcerate people without charge in 1215, was simply outdated and in need of discarding.

In fact, I say if you can read a book, you shouldn’t be a judge. Waste of time. Judges should just have a stamp that says “KILL.”

So maybe McCain was saying “no” regardless of how the bill was constructed?

ITN 2:01

If I may offer a suggestion - citing the “tax cuts benefits rich” just leads to the “of course, they pay bulk of taxes and about half American households don’t pay Fed taxes” rejoinders.

As I have done in the past. It’s a simple numbers exercise.

If the point is, the Bush Administration has given tax advantages to the very wealthiest of Americans while pursuing fiscally irresponsible policies, well, there’s a better way to make that argument.

Ditto for the point of distinguishing the poor and middle class families who’ve benefited from the tax cuts. Which is why many Dems are in favor or retaining those portions.

Of course, that just leaves Dems open to - oh, who’s in the news - Kennedy? - benefiting tremendously from the family trusts. Sen Edwards, too - he saved over a mil, easy.

But one doesn’t excuse the other. A bit of “yeah, our guys hose the taxpayers, too, but on balance, they’re not as bad” would be nice.

BTW - Hillary still supporting taxing hedge fund managers hundreds of millions of annual income at the capital gains tax rate instead of at the income tax rate? She’s still a Democrat, right? I just thought that stance might make her a Republican.

Before you state absolutes such as “nothing” you just might want to Google terms or concepts such as shutting down financial networks, agreements with other countries, joint operations in southeast (not west) Asia. I believe you’ll find it’s been a bit more than “nothing.”

I’m not up on marriage laws - I’m sure there are some that are, but it is my opinion that judges have no business making decisions about who can get married and who can’t. To me, it’s a church thing. Sure, judges can perform marriages, so can captains on a ship, etc. but I think the issue of “gay marriage” is kind of a waste of a judges time and the taxpayers money.

But I’ll stick to my statement that there are no such things as activist judges, just some judges interpret the laws in ways in which you might disagree.

AmVet: You make a point. But, remember, no one thought Bush would be this bad. He got elected as a moderate. “Compassionate conservative” and all that. Had he known what he intended and had he said it; he would have lost. He has given voice to the most extreme in our politics. Every republican I know is ashamed of him. Many will vote for Obama. Here, on this blog, one sees an altered “diehard” view. A view designed more to create illusion, than anything else. The “genius” of the republican party is in getting people to vote against their self interest.

{{{{Truth be told, it was more campaign speech than lecture. It was dramatic because Lieberman, a senior Democrat, was speaking on behalf of John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee.}}}}

{{{{Most interestingly, Lieberman was very tough on his own party’s likely nominee, Barack Obama. (As far as we remember, he did not mention, or even allude to, Obama rival Hillary Clinton.) Lieberman noted that unlike McCain, and despite Obama’s “unity” rhetoric, Obama has no significant record of working across party lines in the Senate.}}}}

{{{{He described Obama as McGovernlike, a comparison at least one backer of the Illinois Democrat, Rep. Fortney Hillman Stark Jr. of California, has also endorsed.}}}}

Bosch at 5:14:

At the root of the gay marriage issue isn’t nomenclature (e.g., the term “marriage”, “civil union”, etc.).

It is about civil-rights equality. Over a thousand rights and privileges come with a marriage certificate, rights and privileges that het partners take for granted.

It cost my partner and I thousands of dollars to generate the legal documents as far as inheritance, medical authority, etc. One $50 marriage certificate probably did it all for you and your wife.

And all it takes is one judge, sympathetic to a litigious, biological family, to undo years of planning. I’ve seen families, not having spoken to thier gay offspring in years, swoop in upon a death and take the body, the home and everything in it, kicking the surviving partner to the curb on the way out of town.

And that doesn’t even begin to address the issues of co-mingling finances, corporate pension benefits, social security pension, income tax inequality…

I think churches should have the say over who gets married in their church and who doesn’t. But by extension, they shouldn’t be the ones to say who gets civil rights equality and who doesn’t.

Call it “marriage,” call it “union,” I don’t care.

But judges are absolutely the ones to address the issue.

Sorry, Bosch but you ARE ignorant.

Afghans and Iraqis have their own governments. Nobody says they are perfect but you don’t even think ours is very good. We still support those two governments but they are established. So YOU do not care about their freedom. It is not YOURS.

You also believe there is little or no terrorism to fight and should be left for future generations. You don’t even care about your own freedom.

You can barely remember that we spent millions on the great tsunami of Indonesia and now are trying to help in Burma. We also spend billions on every disaster in our own country. BUT—foreign aid—one percent of a huge “farm bill” goes for foreign aid alone.

I don’t know where you got your admiration for Hitler but I don’t have any. It is obviously why you cannot see the leadership of Bush in a term which had one of America’s greatest disasters. (9/11 in case you forgot.) Bush led us and we are safe.

Babble on about great leadership. You don’t know it when you see it.

Now hold on people, dont rewrite history. 911. bush ordered rummy to attack OBL, who the CIA had penned up in Afghanistan. Bush did the correct thing. he shined, man.

History tells us that Cheney and Rummy somehow belayed that order for some reason. PBS documentaries claim that rummy wanted to be chief of ops, and would budge until the CIA stood down.

However the real reason is that Cheney knew that there would be no Iraq if OBL was destroyed at Tora Bora, so he refused to let Rummy budge. The American people would have expected our army to come home after we caught and destroyed Al Queda in afghanistan.

I think the Bush Administration has done some good things to combat al Qaeda - I referenced the work on the international level to hit their fundraising. It’s had a real effect. But just like with their aid to Africa, they just can’t seem to get the message out. Amazing.

Real Security illustrates how people will say whatever sounds good - they may even be sincere - but let a little time go by, even when they have the power, as the Dem Congress does now - and suddenly it’s “let’s not talk about that.”

Increasing the number of special forces? Good idea. I think RS said “double.” Secure loose nuclear materials terrorists could use to make “dirty bombs”? Sounds good to me - but it seems whenever someone not a Dem addresses it they are met with “fear mongering.” Redouble efforts to stop nuclear weapons development in Iran? Read that sentence again. I didn’t make it up. It’s in Real Security.

Carter may have gotten us started on conservation, alternate sources, etc - but there is been a long line of his successors - Democratic and Republican, in the White House and Congress - who have absolutely blown it. Absolutely. I mean, it took us what, 25, 30 years to increase mileage standards for cars?

And didn’t the Bush Administration just do another increase? Gotta give them that -

Even though Dingell, Dem of Michigan, fought it. Couldn’t resist… They’re all served us ill on this topic -

The whininess quotient of the Barack Obama campaign increased this morning with an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America. In an interview with Robin Roberts, Obama complained about criticism of his wife in a Republican political ad, proclaiming it “unacceptable” and “low class”. Obama, however, failed to explain why statements made in political speeches at campaign events should be off-limits to criticism:

One thing is for sure, if we elect Obama we’ll have the whiniest President in our history. Maybe that’s what he’s going to do in Tehran. Throw a crying jag and threaten to hold his breath or something.

{{{{{“For them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class and I think they — most of the American people would think that as well,” he said. “I would never think of going after somebody’s spouse in a campaign.”-Obambi on ABC}}}}}

Bush was actually the right man in the right job on 911. Sorry, but he was. I was so stupified and shell shocked that I needed a president to stand and deliver exactly as strongly as Bush did in the wake of 911. Bush was betrayed by his vice prez and his general. It’s that simple. Obama got away, and we’re supposed to take comfort that at least some arab somewhere is collateral damage for our missile strikes and patrols. It’s really a sad, upsetting, and ultimately party destroying story. Behold the death of conservatism in the back alleys of a magical desert city where rocket tubes become WMDs. Poof you’re a pos.

Paul asks:

Is “technicality” the same thing as “a provision of law?”

The short answer is ‘no.’ To illustrate:

A technicality is anything that permits a criminal to avoid death. For example take this headline and article:

Corpse Provides Ineffective Assistance to Defendant says Court

The Supreme Court today held that a man convicted of murder and sentenced to death deserved an actual living lawyer. Clarence Thomas dissented arguing that the lawyer may have just be ‘smelly.’ Further argued Thomas, “nothing in the record proves that medical problems suffered by the lawyer, if any, including his lack of animation, establishes that the lawyer was not effective. In fact, the lawyer may well have staged his own death as a trial tactic to gain sympathy from the jury.”

This, you liberal panty waste twit, is a technicality. The Sixth Amendment merely says that a defendant is entitled to a lawyer. Nothing in the document refers to whether the lawyer must actually be alive, awake, sober, literate or paying attention, but that doesn’t stop these “activist judges” from “interpreting” (re-writing) the Constitution to serve their liberal ends.

As to what a “provision of law” is: When a defendant can show by a proponderance of evidence that he should not be put to death because it is more likely than not that he is innocent a ‘provision of law’ requires that the defendant show by “clear and convincing” evidence that he is in fact innocent. This is a more than fair provision of law as I’m certain that almost no one could prove by clear and convincing evidence that they didn’t kill someone. Could you prove that you didn’t kill Jon Benet Ramsey? Didn’t think so. All we have to do is charge some poor guy, give him the corpse for a lawyer, and then kill the scumbag for doing what he might well have done.

In the end the real difference is this:

If the rule inhibits my lust for blood its a technicality. If the rule greases the tracks so that we can get on with the killing its a provision of law.

Paul,

I’m disappointed that you don’t know the difference. Are you really a Republican? I have my doubts. In fact I think you may be a closet human being.

“AmVet: You make a point. But, remember, no one thought Bush would be this bad.”

Actually, Daniel, I absolutely thought he was going to be a train wreck.

Oh! To have been wrong!

And I suppose there must have been many others. Remember the interview where he could not name virtually any of the heads of state?

To me, it was obvious George was WAY in over his head. The guy had a running and long term track record of dismal performances, questionable ethics and outright failures.

And unlike his dad who showed great valor in combat and who turned out to be a closet moderate (MUCH to the chagrin of the Reagan neo-con monkeys), it was patently obvious the fighter-pilot hero of Alabama was both dumb as a rock (by presidential standards), a chickenhawk AND a religious nut job.

NOT exactly a winning combination.

“He got elected as a moderate. “Compassionate conservative” and all that.”

But he also got elected by employing the sleaziest bunch of liars since Richard Nixon. I believed none of it.

“He has given voice to the most extreme in our politics.”

And all Glenn or TTfT does is hack political foreskin. And they manage to make it dull and unreadable, which is quite a feat starting from the greatest writing in modern blog history.

I dont even have to post and you guys swing at me. I rule this blog. I own all your sorry azzes. I dont want them, but you keep conjuring up my ghost.

I am writing a memoir of my life which included time in a gorilla suit selling volkswagons in a circus in canada, being turned into an elephant man freak when I was ten by a drunken doctor performing plastic surgery on me when I was ten, and the 100 plus women I cranked thanx to the beatles making it fashionable to wear your hair so long that they couldn’t see my deformity until it was too late.

My story is the story of modern uber-schlameil. a super net zero-sum-hero. You wont believe a word of it, trust me, but it all happened. That’s how I know God wont punish me for the consequences of my existence: none of it was my fault. it was always the fault of a guy that looked like me or someone clever enough to hide while I stood there going , What?

Once, on a naval base in richmond virginia in 1963, just a couple of months before JFK, I started bellowing out my dad’s family barracks window like only a retarded 13 year old could bellow, “NOW HERE THIS. NOW HERE THIS. ABANDON SHIP. ABANDON SHIP. WE’VE BEEN STRUCK BY A JAPANESE TORPEDO! ABANDON SHIP. NOW HERE THIS. NOW HERE THIS. ABANDON SHIP. WE’VE BEEN STRUCK BY A JAPANESE TORPEDO.

Now, I bellowed that at the top of my lungs for a good ten or fifteen minutes thinking it was the funniest, coolest thing anyone had ever done. Now there was this commander who lived just a couple doors down in the same family quarters/barracks weird thingie we all lived in, and he finally had enought and attacked me by screaming even louder and pounding on my locked door so loud that it scared me under the bed where I STFU and didn’t barely breath for a half hour after he stopped yelling at me to STFU.

I later found out he was in WW2, and had suffered severe mental exhaustion from his combat experience with the Divine Wind kamikaze pilots. He was just serving out his time till retiremtn and only wanted a little piece till I came along and ruined it for him. I’ve never heard a man scream like that. It really scared me and maybe even scarred me a bit. I was afraid to tell my dad,
