— Slublog Bumped. With all the rapid-fire stuff this week, @slublog's excellent essay only got like 45 minutes at the top.
...
Charles C.W. Cooke is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers at NRO. See here, here and here for some reasons why. On twitter, he displays a similar talent for making coherent responses to lefty tweets. Such as this one, earlier today.
The tweet from Caldwell illustrates part of the reason I don't trust the left when it comes to issues related to the second amendment - most of their arguments are based in a combination of emotionalism and ignorance. I don't mean ignorance in the insulting sense, but the descriptive. They are ignorant about how guns work. They don't know the history or meaning of the second amendment. They have no idea how gun sales work, whether in a store or at a show. They do not understand why people would want to own a gun, and have no understanding of what it's like to live in rural America, where the police aren't just minutes away.
What makes it worse is that they don't seem to want to know. They are perfectly content in their little bubble of ignorance, speaking to each other in the language of cliche and falsehood. They use phrases like "gun show loophole," "assault weapon," and make utterly laughable statements about what weapons are legal and which are not and they believe their parade of nonsense justifies the limit of a freedom guaranteed by the constitution. They are eager to ban something they don't understand and have no intention of learning anything about.
This has been linked before, but for a thorough and excellent overview of guns and gun control, read this post by author, firearms instructor and former gun dealer Larry Correia. In it, he lays out the reasons why the left calls for gun control, then eviscerates those arguments with facts and reason.
Much has been written about the president's press conference/temper tantrum last night. In his statement, Obama showed why the left seems to have no interest in understanding guns, gun owners and gun culture. The reason is pretty simple: they hate us.
Go watch Obama's statement again - the utter contempt he displayed for those who have the audacity to claim a right protected by the constitution is breathtaking in its nakedness. It's tempting to believe liberal lawmakers don't like us having the ability to own guns because they don't think we can be trusted with them. That is part of it, but based on what we saw yesterday, that might be giving them too much credit.
When the left talks about gun owners, one of their favorite tactics is to make them seem like a strange species - an 'other.' Well, Obama 'otherized' the hell out of gun owners and second amendment advocates yesterday, refusing to even acknowledge their ability to make an argument in good faith and sneering at members of Congress for the earnest belief in the second amendment that influenced their votes against the gun control amendments.
Still, the president wasn't just angry because he lost. He was angry because he lost to people who hold an opinion he's unable and unwilling to understand and who he seems to regard as beneath him. Last night, Obama showed us the anger that lurks under the no-drama exterior and revealed what we on the right have known for years - he's thoroughly a man of the left, and shares the left's contempt for those who believe that the second amendment is not a collective right, but an individual right for a collective purpose - ultimately, the preservation of a "free state." Our belief in individual liberty makes us inconvenient, and our refusal to acquiesce to the Benevolent and All-Knowing, All Providing Nanny State makes us barriers to the goals of the left.

Fair enough, but as they have shown on many other issues they are willing to wait people like us out. Many on the left recognize it's a war of attrition it's not about taking your guns away, it's about keeping you from buying more or making sure your offspring never will.

Absolutes aside, it wasn't the GOP that turned DC into the high-stakes, Statist superlotto that it is now.
The reason why politics has become this mad, mad circus is the progressive project. The GOP is just too comfortable and the post-office employment is too rewarding for things to change appreciably.

So much psychopathy, so little time.
We are literally dealing with the mentally deficient. How they got this way is a mystery on one hand, and also fully apparent to anyone with two functioning brain cells to rub together. IMO, it's the culture that has been malformed on purpose, starting in school and perpetrated by the media and the MFM.
And good to see you back on the job, Slublog. You've been missed.

One; anyone seen any "Arab Street" video of anyone in the middle east rejoicing about the great Satan being bombed? If not, are we all friends now? Or are we just seeing it?
Two; why would the President be angry about this at all? Its just a bombing. In America.
Just like what his buddy Bill Ayers advocated... He doesn't seem to have a problem with him. I would love to see someone ask if he thinks someone who was involved in similar activities should be teaching at American Universities that receive federal dollars?
Inquiring minds and all that.

No, they won't approve of a partition because their project is at its heart about domination not agreement. Further, those on the Left with enough intelligence not to believe their own scripts realize socialist countries don't last long without cart-pullers. They need the productive on the Right.
They overplay their hand when they forget the mantra "Slowly, slowly." That's been their usual mode, a successful one when employed. The problem this time is that the older, more devious Dem-Dems are dying off and petulant Man-King is their new ideal.
"MY WAY, NOW," doesn't have the subtle qualities of a soft-socialist strategy.

Those libtards must be living on the north side of Chicago or the 'burbs (maybe Hyde Park too).

But seriously, here's my "big picture" argument.
America yawns at 200 dead in Fast and Furious.
Hundreds of thousands of illegals come across our border, many of whom join violent gangs that terrorize and murder our citizens. They overload our social system, engage in crime, and (if they work) don't pay taxes.
Nothing is done to stop this. No one in either party cares.
Meanwhile, I'm suppose to give up more of MY rights in the name of public safety and the welfare of children?
Really? But illegals get to just flout current law and wreak havoc on our society?
Why? Because gun owners are politically disfavored? Because liberal pussies think guns are icky?
Well, fuck you. I'm not going to be treated like a fucking 2nd class citizen. People like me BUILT this country. I work hard, raise my kids right, pay my taxes, and don't fuck with my neighbors.
So kiss my fucking ass, you lying, hypocritical fucking FUCKS. This shit has NOTHING to do with protecting kids. If it did, we'd start with illegal fucking immigration and recquire a goddamned citizen background check on anyone trying to register their kids for school, buy a car, or apply for welfare bennies.

Raised by wolves.
Maybe not, but the gang life is a strong analogue to the psychology of the wolf-pack. The gang life has made them wolves.

Nanny state is always tossed about, but that is not the right comparison.
When only the police have guns, it's called a police state. More laws, more regulations, to entrap and entangle normal citizens.
Either crawl and submit, or live the life of an outlaw. That is the stark dichotomy that the Left would like to inflict. Whether you intellectually accept them or not is irrelevant. What you must do is submit. Submit and you may be allowed to keep some of your stuff. Be an outlaw and risk losing everything. They'll take your "stuff" because at heart all they are is materialists, and have little to no conception of the man or woman that has an "inner life".
And now trying to open the immigration floodgate is another move to devalue your birthright and your citizenship.

Most of the kids don't stand a chance, they never learn a work ethic, don't have male father figures around, never have to "earn" anything because it's given to them.
Education is frowned upon.
They have to decide whether to be sheep or wolves.
Most decide to run with the pack rather than be devoured by it. I'm not a lib by any stretch of the imagination, but it's hard to get out of that environment, regardless of how much money the government throws at them.
They learn hate at a very young age.

#62, weft-cut, wow, that is an outstanding pithy summary of things: "high-stakes statist super lotto".
As for the post, excellent. But ......
I'm not sure about a pejorative vs. some other sense of "ignorant" - sure, there are different situations and degrees, but in this case the pejorative tone is entirely justified. Also, even knowledge of firearms would be unlikely to render these people practically intelligent, or sensible, or American, on the matter.
Not that an earlier period was some sort of golden era of everyday philosopher kings walking about, but the near complete disappearance of the ability to think critically, I think, is the single most important factor leading to all this borrowed trouble. Try to engage a typical "intelligent, educated" NPR-listener type in some grown-up discussion on some topic of importance. Hell, try it with many "conservatives". No real understanding of any real subject, and no ability to think rationally and rigorously. Logic? Ha. A festival of non sequitirs, appeals to authority (itself with a new twist, see below), ad hominems, myth-peddling/consuming, and amazing arrogance.
Can't really say I'm optimistic. I'd say very few of even my cohort (mid-50s) could be accurately described as Americans, in any meaningful, substantive, and historical sense. Point to an institution that isn't either completely collapsed or mostly compromised (folks, we live in a time when laughable Lysenkoist nonsense is allowed to determine our economic choices - AGW - and Big Science sits there, silent ..... the judiciary, on any matter constitutional, is comprised of average people who understand the constitution and a majority of ignorant, arrogant, authoritarian idiots and nutjobs who simply legislate from the bench, while beclowning themselves non-stop ..... and on, and on ..... to even the upper reaches of the military - Gen. Casey's stunning statement immediately following the Ft Hood terrorist attack - like so much else in the last 5-7 years, something anyone with experience and sense almost literally couldn't believe actually was said).
I think most "conservative" smarties - perhaps out of fear of facing the depths of our degradation - convince themselves that the Obamas, Murphys, Shumers, et al are actually intelligent people. They are not. Not in any practically meaningful sense. They thrive in a culture/civil society that has been degraded almost beyond recognition by racism (now literally the basis of state policy, law, cultural sensibility), collapsed integrity (public service sector greed and arrogance), transformation of most of the media and academia into bizarre indoctrination tools for a mindset composed of ignorance, false knowledge, arrogance, and a terrifying authoritarian compulsion, and - just spitballing here - the seeming disappearance of able sensible people with any character or spine.
Oh, and my Unified Theory of Ignorant Authoritarian Degradation - these people (voters, the "president", all of them) are not just clueless about firearms. They bring the same false understanding, ignorance, arrogance, and authoritarian compulsion to EVERY subject. There are exceptions, people who are sensible and informed in one area, but idiots in others - but these are indeed exceptions. Only the amazing wealth, security, and stability produced by the now crumbling miracle of America could produce conditions allowing such unfit, uninteresting, untalented people to not only survive, but even rise to positions of authority. The irony, it burns, I believe is the expression .....

This vote might be it and the collateral damage will probably be the touted immigration bill as well. Combined with the failures of the Obamacare and a sick economy, popularity lost is not going to be regained. Once Clinton went into scorched earth mode with the Lewinsky scandal--he accomplished nothing other than staying in office primarily because he burnt his bridges with the opposite party. Nothing consequential got passed.
DC is a town that works on relationships and TFG doesn't have a good one with anyone on the Hill nor the Supremes even in his first term. No one trusts him--Dems feel betrayed on the chained COLA's, Republicans have no trust at all. This is not the recipe for a successful second term.

Barky was still pissy yesterday...in his address about the Boston Bombers.
I think he knows that there are two things that were shown this week:
'The government cannot protect you'
'Some immigrants hate us enough to kill us'.
These two things do not help him with his agenda of Gun-banning and Amnesty.

The problem is that freedom is not a "need". That's why the left has no use for it. Everything we call freedom is a WANT, not a NEED, and the constitution does not allow for the regulation of freedoms. Liberals are trying to re-frame the entire American culture to be an experiment in filling needs rather than in protecting freedom.
Now consider that a slave that survives to the age of 80 years, obviously has all his "needs" met. What he lacks are choices of his own. Is a slave "selfish" for wanting freedom, as most liberals AND his slave master would charge?
Yes he is!

We have 3-1/2 more years of Barack Obama.
This last episode was just his manic side coming out (again). It will disappear down the Media Memory Hole.
There is no way that the majority of the Bullshit Media will ever admit that they might have erred in evaluating Obama, especially if it means agreeing with any part of what conservatives think.
Although his behavior disturbs me, as this is no way for a President to act, I am fatigued with being outraged. The man is a manic sociopath, with strong narcissistic tendencies. And we're stuck with him, along with the lamest and most inarticulate Republican Party leadership possible (although it has been bad in the past, or when was it ever good?).
If the Republicans could somehow articulate at least a few basic principles of government that illuminate why Obama is such a BAD president and stick to that story, there might be some hope in building some party credibility. But that is not going to happen.
We are stuck in a dystopian night mare of what America has become and will become. What a trainwreck.

That would be me.
Sometimes at night when I can't fall asleep I lie in bed and have imaginary conversations in my head with Barack Obama. I imagine myself being introduced to him at a swank DC cocktail party, him in his metrosexual tux and I in my Green Bay Packers sweatshirt and camo pants. He looks at me disdainfully and then I proceed to twist him witless with my piercing eyes and irrefutable arguments and bellowing voice. He is reduced and humiliated he calls for the Secret Service and they rush over - and stand with me against him. I win. They take him off in handcuffs to somewhere in East Buttocks, Alabama.

"...Our belief in individual liberty makes us inconvenient, and our refusal to acquiesce to the Benevolent and All-Knowing, All Providing Nanny State makes us barriers to the goals of the left."
This starts to get at the heart of the matter, which I don't think is talked about nearly enough. The recent high-profile episodes are glaring, in-your-face examples - "proof positive", if you will - that "gun control" only succeeds in disarming law-abiding citizens, which is an immoral attack against their right to defend their own lives.
There is NO trade-off between personal freedom and public safety, and so there is NOTHING TO DEBATE. Even the events in Boston give a glaring example that citizens can not just sit back and have law enforcement guarantee their safety - law enforcement actively requested assistance from the public.
Any attempts to limit gun rights of law-abiding citizens is fascism, pure and simple ("statism" is actually the more correct word). If it is to be defeated it must be called out for what it is.
In the same vein, we have to stop referring to the "war on terror", which also does not name the enemy. The war is with Islamofascists, and we need to be aware that while not all Muslims are terrorists, a very large number are sympathetic with them - BECAUSE of their religious teachings.

His contempt for a great swath of the American people is rooted in his borderline sociopathic personality.
It allows him to lie in a serial manner, and is one of the qualities that endears him to the Left. They will continue to lie about what their true intentions are, yet the real world we live in is full of clues as to what they really think.
The whole charnel house of the Kermit Gosnell episode is simply a microcosm of how the Left really believes aspects of society should function. There really is no moral repugnance or gut-wrenching revulsion as to what has been revealed here. This will be a test as to just how far we are gone culturally.
There is an article linked by Instapundit today by Leon Kass in the WSJ. It once again illustrates the gulf that separates normal Americans from the Left and their fellow travelers.
Obama and his fellows on the Left really do hate us, it is not just a figurative illumination to explain his occasional outbursts of revealed sociotpathy.

That's the main problem with trying to reason with a proggy-libtard-bammy voter, Drew. They are immune to reason, they are either unable or unwilling to think for themselves and process hard information and they have a visceral yearning to believe that someone better than them (TFG) can provide a panacea to all their ills, if only the racist haters would get out of the way and let them do good for us all.

A fundamental part of the Left worldview is the reduction in any empathy or any enduring bonds of affection or tenderness between people.
Hence Obama's remarks about his own grandmother, "a typical white woman", and his contempt for his own followers.
They follow him to gain power and in their shared hatreds.

One of the more pathethic realities is the extent to which the Grahams and McCains give Obama and the Democrats the ammunition to continue taking down Western Civilization.
The only reason that Obama, Pelosi et al survive and can continue the destruction is that the RINOs in Congress give them $1 trillion + annually to continue feeding their client voting blocks.
Recognize that just a little $85 billion sequestration has caused them endless headaches. If Republicans were really to starve the beast then Obama would be toast. The big fear that the RINOs have is that a politically coreect nation wll turn on them. Well guess what ? Will never happen. The majority of the people only need to recognize that the goodies are no longer coming and the only thing Obama has holding up his clueless and dangeroue Presidency would have been taken from him. Then the people would recognize he has failed on the economy, on immigration, on jobs creation, on race relations, on helping African Americans, on foreign policy, on education, on urban develoment, etc. If the Republicans had the guts to call him on his incompetence by witholding the borrowed money that funds his incompetence - then he would be exposed for the utter fraud that he is.

I don't think the Left is one monolith block of willful a-holes. The bulk of them are LIV emotive ninnies who can be reached just not in an argumentative way.
We're going to have to reach a few of them if we want to win any national elections. Can't argue someone out of a position they didn't arrive at intellectually. It is about emotion. It is about morality, albeit a secular version.
We need point out the failure of this collectivist Progressive project but we have to do it in a way that gives them an emotional reason to opt for conservatism. It's going to have to break the psychology of "GOP = uncool, Dem's = cool" reflexive non-thought.

Yep, he hates us and his followers as well. I'm glad to see that this horrible economy is doing its worst to the JEF's most loyal followers. They deserve every bit of it. I don't have one shred of sympathy for them and not an iota of help.
As for the gun-grabbers and hoplophobes, their time is coming. They won't be even vaguely prepared when the balloon goes up and they'll be prey for all those they tried to buy off with our money. DrewinMO's libtard friend, if she survives the multiple rapings and theft/trashing of everything she owns, will probably have a different view of the usefulness of firearms in the future. It's a pity so many people just don't want to admit that there are wolves out there and that they need to be able to protect themselves against them. That said, it's a choice they've made and they can live with the consequences, just like voting for TFG was a choice.

We do counter-terrorism intel sharing with the Russians. Have for quite a while. To a limited extent it was done with the later era Soviets too when there were commonalities of interest.
The probably caught phone calls or emails to some known terrorists in Russia and just let us know as a heads up.
If the FBI had done something more than sit on its hands, then anything we might have developed on this end could maybe help fill in blanks in the Russian's intel on their end.

also, it sounds almost like Boston Strangler (a.k.a. Albert Desalvo), so it's really rather stupid and inappropriate, actually.

No problems, confuses a lot of people. Honestly, what happened was way more important than geographical precision.
The kids are splitting time between my parents and my in-laws so that I can be cleaning and packing here. It seems to be going pretty well. My sister and her husband just put a contract on a too-build in Fresno, TX (where they're moving from Fresno, CA) that already has the foundation poured, so in a couple of months I'll have a free place to stay while looking for a home there too.

Earlier Saturday afternoon, a silver mini-van with consulate license plates arrived at the Carriage Drive apartment along with the FBI and Homeland Security, and stayed a half an hour longer than the agents.
The van left with two women, neither of whom appeared to be restrained.....
Efforts by The Standard-Times to identify the van's consulate country did not provide any answers, and the FBI spokeswoman had no information about it. A U.S. Department of State spokeswoman said her agency was “not privy” to the investigation and referred The Standard-Times back to the FBI.

NEW BEDFORD — Agents wearing FBI and Department of Homeland Security jackets detained two men at the Hidden Brook apartment complex just hours after releasing three people believed to be associated with Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
A
neighbor who declined to identify herself said the same two men were
among the three people taken into custody by the FBI Friday afternoon.

I got a book from the library about Mossad. So I am reading along and interested in all of the counter-terrorism, when the author flashes back to the Shah and how he worked with Israel as an ally, and then I got mad at Carter all over again.
All of this misery including Boston goes back to Carter.

That means a cell with 12 members. Just thought I would clarify. I am still glad they are looking for them, but felt that people wouldn't want to be misquoting the article.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was thrown out of the mosque -- the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center -- about three months ago, after he stood up and shouted at the imam during a Friday prayer service, they said. The imam had held up slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King as an example of a man to emulate, recalled one worshiper who would give his name only as Muhammad.

So I just finished combing through the CDC data on fatal injuries from 1981 - 2010. (A blog post may end up being written from all of this.....)
Some truly interesting numbers/facts emerged from this:
1) First thing - which never gets mentioned - is that up to 60% of all "firearms deaths" are the result of SUICIDE (no "assault" weapons necessary). Interestingly enough, in 1993, the homicide rate was virtually the same as the suicide rate.
2) The rate of occurrence of firearms HOMICIDES was the lowest in 30 years in......2010 (the suicide numbers and rates, however, increased). Inconvenient statistics there, POUTUS.....
3) The number of motor-vehicle fatalities each year is between 3-4 times as high as the number of firearms fatalities.

They would probably carry more stuff about the French but we speak the same language and are far enough away that it's sort of ignored by most American people (certainly the American press).
However, over the last few years I have become a devoteee of news in the British papers, so they might be looking for ad revenue by (fancy this) giving the customers actual news.

Talk about tone deaf. We have a Muslim family come in here and at least three (mum and two boys) were hardcore Islamist nutcases, plus the wife-beating dad. Then two of these fuckups blows an eight-year-old boy across a city street, and proceed to lock down a major city. Oh and they car-jacked a vehicle with a COEXIST sticker too.
Israel should be lecturing us for not discriminating enough, like Russia is lecturing us.

At first I thought it was the FBI, but the more I think about it it was probably Putin.
Why would he do that?
1. He wants the US to back off in Syria.
2. He wants the Chechneyans to know that they will be tracked anywhere.

That's actually a serious question . . . not many can even muddle it out.
We got lots of Jews who can sorta figure out how Semitic languages work, and lots of Latinos and other nerds who can pick up those Indo-European languages. But Chechen is a Caucasian language and a lot of those languages are isolated

He knows TFG well through observation and intelligence, and he wanted to prevent TFG from blaming Russia for the intelligence screw-up.
Which he would in a heart beat. I can just hear him going into one of his phoney baloney lectures about how "If we had only been notified sooner by Russia" and "I have spoken to Vladimir about this."
I would not be unhappy to see Putin make him squirm for a while.
Sigh. I never thought I would have any use at all for a Russian leader, but here we are.

I know of a family who foreclosed then, somehow, came up with a lot of cash/financing at the last minute, and after not paying mortgage for two years or so. No one really knows who lives there (adults rarely seen) but young sons come in and out.House falling apart. "The" house in neighborhood that brings down property value. Supposedly from Turkey. Many family members, including wife, have broken the law in various ways (public record). This is a drop in the bucket of those who bought up mortgages and screwed up the market. Sheriff had been called in past for wild parties. Does this sound familiar?

I agree that they are not stupid, but I believe that they are in the grip of an ideology that filters/colors/interprets everything that they see, read, or hear, i.e., it is not possible for them to place a rational interpretation on anything. Their thoughts/reactions reflect a pathology..., and there is nothing that can change that short of some life-changing experience. Even that doesn't always work. You can be sure that very few Boston liberal's thinking will be affected by last week's events.

The man says “gee, couldn’t you package that a little better by saying that the cat had wandered out onto the roof and after multiple efforts by firemen to save the cat, it fell and couldn’t be saved.”
A few weeks later, the man goes on another trip. When he comes home his brother tells him .. “Mom wandered out onto the roof …“
