Government Sponsored Crime

Truck 793 - Built by the Obama DEA

The Houston Chronicle recently reported a noteworthy story. The story is noteworthy solely as a rare act of journalistic practice (the full article is well researched and a good read) but also as just another prominent example of imprudence, incompetence and subsequent denial at the federal level. Although this case involves the DEA, it shares the same brutish Fast and Furious/Gibson Guitar/drilling moratorium genetic defects that are so common to all Obama agency actions.

You have to read the whole thing but basically, the DEA used a business owners truck without his knowledge or consent for illegal activity resulting in a dead driver, damaged truck and a business owner left holding the bag - unable to collect insurance or get reimbursement from the government for the damage to his business.

This is becoming old-hat for this administration and most people will never hear of these things because it's being ignored by the mainstream media. This is outrageous. I feel like I'm living in Bizarro America. If the mafia had taken over our government and was in charge of everything, how would it be any different than what we have under the Obama administration?

Suspect says he wasn't robbing bank, just 'getting some cheeseburgers'

"What were you doing in the bank, sir?" WFTV reporter Tim Barber asked.
"I was eating cheese," he replied.

"No, I was getting some cheeseburgers," he said.

Illegals released by feds committed 19 murders, 142 sex crimes

The Obama administration released illegal immigrants who went on to commit more crimes, including charges of 19 murders, 3 attempted murders and 142 sex crimes, the House Judiciary Committee said in a report Tuesday.

Mob Of Teens Steals $3K Of Jeans From Wicker Park Store

Cho said it took police 30 minutes to reach his store after the 911 call went out about 6:45 p.m. on Saturday.

What if mobs start going beyond shoplifting? This is a very dangerous situation and I don't believe law enforcement is taking it serious enough. If they continue to get away with this behavior it will get worse.

Mark Stein points out the utter hypocrisy of the mayor of Boston and Chicago wanting to deny Chick-fil-A business permits because of the opinion of one of the owners while falling all over themselves to accommodate Muslims who's opinions are off the scale worse: Don't cross the forces of tolerance

The mayor couldn't have been more accommodating (including giving them $1.8 million of municipal land) of the new mosque of the Islamic Society of Boston, whose IRS returns listed as one of their seven trustees Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Like President Obama, Imam Qaradawi's position on gays is in a state of "evolution": He can't decide whether to burn them or toss 'em off a cliff. "Some say we should throw them from a high place," he told Al-Jazeera. "Some say we should burn them, and so on. There is disagreement ... . The important thing is to treat this act as a crime." Unlike the deplorable Mr. Cathy, Imam Qaradawi is admirably open-minded: There are so many ways to kill homosexuals, why restrict yourself to just one? In Mayor Menino's Boston, if you take the same view of marriage as President Obama did from 2009 to 2012, he'll run your homophobic ass out of town. But, if you want to toss those godless sodomites off the John Hancock Tower, he'll officiate at your ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Liars Lie, That's What They Do

Immigrants don’t have to prove they meet DREAM Act criteria to avoid charges, ICE union chief says

Under the new orders, however, illegals can escape federal charges simply by claiming — whether it's the truth or not — that they meet the DREAM Act rule's requirements issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Crane did not specify who has given his officers these new orders.

The new directive would contradict Homeland Security's own words in announcing the policy, which said that "only those individuals who can prove through verifiable documentation that they meet these criteria will be eligible for deferred action."

The entire Obama administration is a lie from top to bottom.

America Demolition Act

You're not even going to believe this.

Do you remember that thing about how the banks wouldn't lend to blacks and Hispanics because they were racists? And do you remember how they passed the Community Reinvestment Act so that banks were forced to reduce down payments practically to zero and lend to a lot of people they knew were bad credit risks? And do you remember how Wall Street bundled all these risky subprime mortgages and sold them to investors around the world so that when it became clear that those people weren't going to be able to pay their mortgages banks everywhere were left holding the bag and all five of the Wall Street investment houses either went under or had to be bailed out by the federal government?

And do you remember how, when it was all over, liberals said it was actually the banks' fault for "deceiving" all those people into thinking they could afford to buy homes and that the banks should be punished for it and some of those people be allowed to keep their homes anyway? And do you remember how all this cost the government close to a trillion dollars and put the whole economy in a hole that we really haven't begun to dig ourselves out of yet?

Well, get ready because the whole thing is about to happen again.

How can this be anything but deliberate sabotage of our economy?

They Don't Need No Stinkin' Guns

This was an interesting read: Going Postal, Pre-Pistol

Guns aren't even the most lethal mass murder weapon. According to data compiled by Grant Duwe of the Minnesota Department of Corrections, guns killed an average of 4.92 victims per mass murder in the United States during the 20th century, just edging out knives, blunt objects, and bare hands, which killed 4.52 people per incident. Fire killed 6.82 people per mass murder, while explosives far outpaced the other options at 20.82. Of the 25 deadliest mass murders in the 20th century, only 52 percent involved guns.

What Does That Even Mean?

Pelosi: Republican Jews Are Being ‘Exploited’ as an Excuse for ‘Tax Cuts for the Wealthy’

HUNT: Do you think he’ll do as well with the Jewish vote this time as he did last time?

PELOSI: The election will tell us that.

HUNT: What do you think?

PELOSI: But I – I think that he will. I think that he will, because the fact is when the facts get out. You know, as many of the Republicans are using Israel as an excuse, what they really want are tax cuts for the wealthy. So Israel, that can be one reason they put forth.

What? That's not even a coherent thought, it's gibberish.

Gun carrying man ends stabbing spree at Salt Lake grocery store

A citizen with a gun stopped a knife wielding man as he began stabbing people Thursday evening at the downtown Salt Lake City Smith's store.

...the knife wielding man seriously injured two people. "There is blood all over. One got stabbed in the stomach and got stabbed in the head and held his hands and got stabbed all over the arms."

Then, before the suspect could find another victim - a citizen with a gun stopped the madness. "A guy pulled gun on him and told him to drop his weapon or he would shoot him. So, he dropped his weapon and the people from Smith's grabbed him."

Thank God he was not prohibited from carrying in that store.

By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the hysteria. Lt. Brian Purvis said, "This was a volatile situation that could have gotten worse. We can only assume from what we saw it could have gotten worse. He was definitely in the right place at the right time."

Dozens of other shoppers, who too could have become victims, are also thankful for the gun carrying man.

This is how you do it. Thank you, whoever you are.

Wow.

Just wow. Shouting 'Fire!' at the Policemen's Ball

In Britain, if a member of the public essays a mild jest about bombs or terrorism to the authorities, he faces seven years in jail. But, if a Muslim police officer does it in Dorset, where Olympic events are being held and where the constabulary is stretched to the limit by the biggest security operation in years, it just shows what a great sense of humor the guy has...

The mental gymnastics liberals must do everyday to keep a straight face. There are no words.

Obama calls for strengthening gun rules, Reid says no time for debate

Because it's not already against the law to kill someone? This is not about saving lives, if it were they would be doing something about cars and trucks.

There is nothing to debate, the truth is on the side of gun owners - guns are tools, life saving in the hands of good people - which are the VAST majority - and tragically lethal in the hands of criminals. As are knives, cars, power tools, axes, saws, bats, clubs, fire, explosives, the list is endless. You can't ban everything! And laws against guns only effect the honest. Criminals by definition do not obey laws. Gun laws make the honest more vulnerable. "Gun Free" zones are killing fields - there is no one to stop the madman.

We Know

"Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values."

Oh, how we know. So now, if you have Biblical values the government has it's foot to your throat. That's constitutional - Chicago style. Notice it is not because the company discriminates in any way toward employees or customers, it is merely because of what the owners believe. And that's yet another reason Obama and his Chicago thug rule will be out of a job soon.

And another thing. Chicago's thug values are not America's values. Thank God.

Say It Ain't So

Syria has chemical weapons

"All of these types of weapons are in storage and under security and the direct supervision of the Syrian armed forces and will never be used unless Syria is exposed to external aggression," he said.

The Syrian regime is believed to be in possession of large stockpiles of sarin, other nerve agents, and mustard gas.

Gee, I wonder where they came from? Couldn't have been Iraq, right? They never had weapons of mass destruction, did they? I heard on the news that ole' George Bush lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. It must be true.

Aurora, Colorado

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the horrific murders in Colorado. Things like this shouldn't happen and I hate that they do. If more law-abiding, able bodied people would carry guns, situations like this would end very differently. The good guys of our society have been brain-washed to cower and die while waiting for help that comes too late. The guy in the video below made some good points regarding this.

The Race?

Remember how shocked you were when they started calling George Zimmerman a white Hispanic? Where did that come from?

Whenever you filled out a government form Hispanic was always a race - white, black, Hispanic. I always thought that was strange because Hispanics come in every shade from black to white and everything in between. The separating factor of Hispanics seemed to me to be language and culture, not race. But, the government always said race, so race it was. Until Zimmerman anyway. What happened there?

So I happened to be watching the following video on YouTube. It seems that the government - the ATF, at least - has changed the way they break down races earlier this year. Now everybody picks a race, then indicates whether Hispanic or not separately. @5:35 in the video.


The Zimmerman/Trayvon incident happened on Feb. 26, 2012. The ATF form is dated April 2012. The gentleman in the video said they decided to change the format on Jan. 9, 2012 (@4:57). I don't know where that information comes from, though.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here, it just seems weird that the people accusing Zimmerman of being a racist murderer were very tuned in to a change that was in the works but hadn't actually happened yet while most Americans were looking at each other saying, "Where did that come from?"

Stand Your Ground: The Truth

This Is No Mistake. It's How They Roll.

Oops

The Obama campaign blamed Governor Mitt Romney for the demise of GST Steel company in a video they released in May. The plant closed in 2001. Mitt left Bain in 1999.

Nothing the Obama administration says can be trusted. Nothing. They lie with impunity from the press, are completely unrepentant when busted, call others liars when the truth is being told. They lie when they don't have to, they mix truth with lies, their modus operandi is confusion and deceit. Bill Ayers dedicated his book, Rules for Radicals, to Satan, appropriately enough, and it is the guide book by which the Obama administration plays - and you don't have to believe Satan exists to understand what he's all about. This is the most evil administration the United States has ever had, I am confident of that. And the people of the United States are waking up to it.

Blaming Governor Romney for any issues surrounding the failure of GST is wrong and it is a blatant lie. Mitt Romney had been long gone when the company started to fail and subsequently closed it doors. When are the President and his campaign hacks going to get the story correct? When are they going to get back to their economy and its dreadful condition? Mr. President, you can run but you cannot hide.

It turns out that Jonathan Lavine, current Obama bundler, was actually in charge, at Bain, during that period, when the layoffs occurred. Oops, that isn’t right, is it? Yes, that story is the one that needs to be reported on. Sorry Mr. President, your lies are just getting to be more than many of us are able to handle.

As Mark Stein puts it:

So the guy going around raising all that money to help Obama save America from vampire capitalism is the fellow who laid off all those steel workers.

This is the Obama administration.

Arpaio: Obama birth record has been tampered with

Members of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posse said in March that there was probable cause that Obama's long-form birth certificate released by the White House in April 2011 was a computer-generated forgery.

Now, Arpaio says investigators are positive it's fraudulent.

Mike Zullo, the posse's chief investigator, said numeric codes on certain parts of the birth certificate indicate that those parts weren't filled out, yet those sections asking for the race of Obama's father and his field of work or study were completed.

Why lie about something if you don't have to? Why put out a fraudulent or tampered with document if a real one exists? It doesn't have to make sense, it's just another dead end trail for someone to waste time on while you're busy destroying the country. It's a tactic.

Cowards Rule Here

DOJ Reveals Brian Terry Was Shooting Bean Bags At Men Who Killed Him

The Department of Justice unsealed documents today showing that Brian Terry was shooting bean bags at men who returned fire with assault rifles.

BEANBAGS!!! Our border patrol agents on the Mexican border are armed with BEANBAGS? The Mexican border has never been safe. Geronimo fought Mexicans in that area before the United States extended that far.

And now this: Napolitano to Border agents: Run and Hide from Shooter

In what they termed "another nauseating series of Virtual Learning Center brainwashing courses that Border Patrol agents are forced to sit behind a computer for hours and endure," officials at the Border Patrol union reported their members are taught in an "Active Shooter" course that if agents encounter a shooter in a public place they are to "run away" and "hide." But on Saturday, while visiting Texas, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano had a different message, according to a government report.

"If we are cornered by such a shooter we are to (only as a last resort) become 'aggressive' and 'throw things' at him or her. We are then advised to 'call [local] law enforcement' and wait for their arrival, presumably, while more innocent victims are slaughtered," states the Arizona (Local 2544) Border Patrol web site.

Our Border Patrol Agents are required to RUN and HIDE? As a last resort they can THROW THINGS? Throw what? Beanbags?

I can't get my mind around this. This is real? Janet Napolitano wants our Border Patrol Agents to run and hide.

May I take the liberty to slightly alter Luke 23:28 for effect? But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem The United States, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

The Power of the Priestly Blessing Unleashed

Anti-gun group applauds Google's move to muzzle firearms retailers

The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a gun control lobby group, recently told AFP that it welcomed the move by Google — seeing the ban as a win in advancing its gun-control agenda.

"We applaud Google for acting to restrict sales of dangerous weapons that would frequently occur without background checks," said Daniel Vice, senior attorney at the Brady Center.

It is not legal to purchase a weapon through the mail (internet) without going through an FFL holding firearms dealer. That means if I purchase a gun from Acme Gun Sales, they have to send it to my local FFL dealer who has to do the background check (every time) and make me wait the 3 or 5 or 10 day waiting period required by law. The dealer must obey all local laws. I must obey all local laws. The selling dealer must obey all local laws. This statement by Daniel Vice is an outright lie.

Citing a study by another prominent gun-control group, the New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg-led Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Vice said that "62 percent of online gun sellers were willing to sell weapons to people who could not pass a background check."

"The Internet is a notorious source of guns for killers," Vice said.

More outright lies. Online gun dealers are not willing to sell weapons to "people who could not pass a background check." They would lose their license, their livelihood, and their freedom (jail). Not to mention the waste of time and money sending a gun through the mail - which is not cheap - and having it sent back by the FFL dealer he was required to send it to because the FFL dealer won't sell it to someone who doesn't pass the background check. Also, the internet is not the largest source of guns for killers, theft is.

The vast majority of gun owners, retailers and wholesalers are law abiding people who bend over backwards to make sure what they are doing is 100% legal. Some even go beyond what is necessary. There are many people who will not sell a gun face to face (which is legal without a background check) unless the purchaser has a concealed carry license (which he is not required to do).

It is very easy to fool people who don't know the laws and the honest law abiding people who make up the gun community. Don't be taken in by their lies.

What Could Go Wrong?

Releasing genetically modified mosquitoes into the wild.

According to health officials, mosquitoes bred in such an installation receive injections of different viruses, which are transmitted in the instant of reproduction and kill the larvae before they are born, which means the number of mosquitoes tends to diminish.

That doesn't sound genetically modified, that sounds like mosquitoes injected with viruses. What's the genetically modified part?

Better Do Some More Investigating

Detroit officer's gun kills woman; incident under investigation

the veteran beat patrolman was hosting a party at his home and was dancing with his wife when Miller came up behind him and tugged at his waist.

"And the gun went off," Goldpaugh said. "It's a fluke accidental shooting."

The weapon, a department-issued, 40-caliber Smith & Wesson semiautomatic pistol, was in a holster worn inside the officer's waistband and was covered by his shirt, Goldpaugh said.

Holsters are designed to cover the trigger guard, and therefore the trigger, preventing anything from touching it. A modern "department-issued, 40-caliber Smith & Wesson semiautomatic pistol" will not shoot without pulling the trigger. Without going into technical details, there are safeties designed into the gun to prevent a discharge of the weapon unless the trigger is pulled. And they work.

Goldpaugh said the physical evidence from the incident corroborated the officer's account of the shooting.

An inside the waistband holster holds the gun in a muzzle down position, sometimes at a slight angle (15%) but down. If I were to come up behind someone wearing a gun in this kind of holster and IF I pulled the trigger, I would be shot in the leg or foot. It doesn't say where she was shot. He could be very tall and she very short, who knows. The person wearing the gun would at least have a hole in their pants. I still don't see this happening. Was the officer really wearing a holster? It could have happened with no holster, that's a possibility.

The officer did not know the woman, who attended the party with other guests, Goldpaugh said.

Why would a woman you did not know come up behind you and give you a hug hard enough to pull a handgun trigger, especially when you are dancing with your wife?

Too many question, not enough answers. Something is missing here.

Forward!

This illustrates the Obama administration perfectly, give the illusion of going forward but actually go backward very fast.

Disability: The New Unemployment

Disability Ranks Outpace New Jobs In Obama Recovery

More workers joined the federal government's disability program in June than got new jobs, according to two new government reports, a clear indicator of how bleak the nation's jobs picture is after three full years of economic recovery.

And the disability ranks will continue to swell. In just the last month, almost 275,000 put in applications for disability benefits.

Independence Day

Saving the Republic

On July 5, 1776, John Adams wrote, "Yesterday was decided the greatest question which was ever decided among men. A resolution was passed unanimously 'that these United States are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states.' The day is passed. The 4th of July '76 will be a memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to Almighty God."

Everything Should Be FREE!

"I think healthcare should be free."

"It's a right."

"Why should you have to pay for the right to live in the first place?"

I don't understand how they put healthcare first on the list of rights, on the list of things that should be free. I mean, if you don't have food, all the healthcare in the world can't help you. Why shouldn't food be free for all? And clean, fresh water. Can't live very long without water. Yet, even though the government controls the municipal water supply they charge for it. The government charges you. Shouldn't water be a right, shouldn't water be free? What about housing?

Here's the deal. You can go hunt, fish and grow your own food, provide it entirely for yourself - and it's free. Dig a well in your backyard and throw a bucket down - free water. Same with healthcare. Go get yourself some books and learn how to take care of yourself. Learn how to make splints for broken limbs, how to take care of wounds, learn how to use herbs and whatnot to cure what ails you. Go find yourself a spot somewhere no one else claims and build yourself a cabin. I'm sure there are parts of northern Canada where no one would even know you were there. Build yourself a fire - free heat! Your gonna need it up there.

What possesses someone to think someone else should be coerced to work to provide the needs of another? I mean, we work for one another in a capitalist society but we do it voluntarily. We each get something out of it. Being forced to do anything leads to a miserable existence. You know it and I know it.

How To Create a Communist Society:

In order to set up a Communist society you first have to confiscate all the guns because next you have to get rid of all the people who refuse to go along. Traditionally this is done by killing them. (I think this is where Communism gets the RED label from) Unfortunately, the people who refuse to go along are the most productive members of society, so basically you just killed the goose that lays the golden egg. But you don't realize that yet, you're too busy celebrating and going around collecting golden eggs that belonged to the people you killed. There's not as many as you thought when everyone is through looting. And so, the misery begins.

The elites have already confiscated all the guns, now they begin confiscating all the eggs (so they can distribute them fairly). They distribute them fairly amongst themselves leaving you with nothing. But everybody has nothing so that's fair. Congratulations, you're a communist now. Once in a while they will throw you a bone, a roll of toilet paper, some bread, bag of rice - things you don't get everyday. Usually, there is an underground capitalist market that is set up and everyone pretends it doesn't exist, but it is the only way to get anything you really need.

And so, yeah. That's basically it, oh, and you can never leave. Don't try to escape or they will kill you. Or your family if you get away. I think it's because if they let you leave, then everyone will want to leave and they won't have any slaves to rule over anymore. Somebody has to work to provide their living, right. ;)

Freeloaders

Now, they're concerned with freeloaders?

It's not a tax on the American people. It's a tax -- it's a penalty for free riders.

LOL! The progs want to penalize free riders! This is mental gymnastics on a level rarely seen!

This is the party that celebrates free riders. This is the party that devotes itself to creating even more free riders. This is a party that could not survive without free riders and freeloaders. This is a party that does everything it can to make people as dependent as possible on the government. Free riders, freeloaders. And now this ruling is apparently so distasteful that the Democrat Party has to do a 180 and start attacking their own voters. Well, what happened to the precious 30 to 50 million uninsured? This is the piece de resistance, Democrats like Nancy Pelosi mocking free riders. The entire mission of the Democrat Party is to create more and more free riders. Haven't they seen to it that almost half the country doesn't pay income tax, a bunch of free riders?

It's a Tax

In order to be constitutional, it has to be a tax.
It's not a tax.
If it's not a tax, it's not constitutional.
It's constitutional because it's a tax.
So, it's a tax.
No. It's not a tax. It's a penalty.
A penalty makes it a mandate and therefore unconstitutional.
It's constitutional because it's a tax.
But you just said it wasn't a tax.
It's not a tax.
