Elena Get Your Gun
American Thinker, by Thomas Lifson

Original Article

Posted By:magnante, 11/12/2012 10:13:33 AM

The national media have ignored a fascinating development, one worth keeping an eye on: Justice Elena Kagan has taken up recreational shooting and hunting. She likes it so much that she has moved from small game (quail) to big game (elk).(snip)"That´s a big step outside the Ivy League bubble. Recreational shooting can become addicting. Appreciation for one part of the Constitution can also lead to appreciation for others."In the unlikely event Justice Kagan develops a new appreciation of the Second Amendment, it would constitute a sort of reverse "Greenhouse effect"

Soon she´ll be shooting the U. S. constitution too.

Well, I hope Scalia made her buy her own guns instead of loaning her any. She´ll see how ridiculous gun laws are.

I´m reserving judgment on this one until I see how she votes in the future. I´m not holding my breath.

I´m a woman who shoots guns and I´ve seen the transformation in other women who´ve never shot a gun and really could not have cared less about shooting a gun. Once you show them how to hold it, how to aim it, what to expect when they pull the trigger, it´s a look they give over their shoulder at you once that gun goes off and they realize they´re still alive and what fun it is. This is not a bad thing. The AR15 is the one I start with, I call it the chick assault rifle then we move on to the Glock 20.

Wouldn´t it be great if Kagan turned out to be as disappointing for the libs as some so called conservative judges have for us. Learning to shoot among other things (muggings) can make for positive changes with libs. #3 My ´chick´ handles her AR15 and AK quite well, she does a good job with my FAL and the M1A1 as well.

Be vewy, vewy quiet, I´m hunting cwackah´s.

Agree, #3. I, too, have seen the transformation. I´ve taught quite a number of women to shoot...my wife is as fine a hand with her .45 Ed Brown as most men. The first two years of college (before she transferred to a college further away), my daughter would bring an anti-gun or gun-neutral friend home with her on weekends. We´d take ´em out to the range, teach ´em to shoot, and they´d go back to college with a whole new attitude.

In the case of Kagan, however, I, too, will reserve judgement. Since she´s a lib, I think it all too possible she might decide she likes shooting...but it´s too good for the common people, the hoi polloi. Only the elite should be permitted access to firearms.

Perhaps I´m overly suspicious....

Elena Kagan with a gun is as disturbing a mental image as her getting out of the shower.


Reply 9 - Posted by: JHHolliday, 11/12/2012 1:35:53 PM     (No. 9009201)

I will reserve judgement also #6. You may be right. Most liberals are elites and think they are above the rules that apply to us bitter-clingers. You only have to note the armed bodyguards that the Dem officials have in their ´gun-free´ cities.

A well regulated militia isn´t a sports team.

Scalia need to take her to the next Knob Creek MG Shoot and put her behind a Quad Fifty then we´ll know for sure if she can be converted....


Reply 11 - Posted by: TnEm, 11/12/2012 4:25:33 PM     (No. 9009517)

Yea, #3!!! All women should feel the rush of shooting.

Some Days You Just
Feel Vindicated

When I arrived home late last night after attending the George Zimmerman trial in Sanford, Florida, I watched the Miami Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs -- great game! -- just as I predicted they would, but it was not until I checked my email inbox that I really began to feel vindicated. First, I was alerted to a series of articles about a new documentary simply titled TWA Flight 800 -- that has the very real potential to reopen the investigation into the destruction of this plane off the coast of Long Island in 1996.

Leftus Ignoramus

Mary Landrieu last Thursday showed what would be, for many of us, appalling ignorance. Debating against the need to build a fence to keep out illegal immigrants -- a proposal which Landrieu had earlier supported -- the Louisiana senator said to Senator Thune from South Dakota: (snip) "the Senator from South Dakota, who only has a border with Canada that is quite different." Consider just how profoundly ignorant that was for any grownup, to say nothing of a senator who chairs the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee.

Impeach Eric Holder

As the Washington media continues to trip over the stumbling blocks of administration scandals and echoes of Watergate bounce off the buildings across the Potomac River, the question comes to mind: Will there be impeachment hearings this summer as there were in the Summer of ´73? There may indeed be impeachment hearings this summer, but not for President Obama; we may very well see that the House Judiciary Committee convenes hearings on the impeachment of the Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder.

Barry and Shelley, accompanied by colleens Malia and Sasha, have landed in Belfast. While Dad "faces off" with Vladimir Putin over Syria at the G8 Summit in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, the wife and kids flew south to visit Dublin´s Trinity College in hopes of learning all about Dad´s Irish roots. Excited to find out that her daughters are related to white men of European descent, Michelle and the girls perused the Irish ancestors´ birth registry

Sarah Palin´s Debut

I caught Sarah Palin on Fox & Friends this morning. Wow, talk about a breath of fresh air! While listening to Palin speak on various issues and Obama´s scandals, something occurred to me. Palin on TV fills a desperately needed void. Sarah Palin communicates in plain English, free of the usual guarded TV political speak. Palin fearlessly nailed Obama and company with the truth. Folks, I cannot express how good and hopeful I felt.

   

 

  


 
The Consequences of Liberalism
American Thinker, by Christopher Chantrill    Original Article
Posted By: magnante- 6/17/2013 8:51:06 AM     Post Reply
Here we are at the midpoint of the Obama years, assailed on every side by looming consequences of liberal hubris and liberal corruption. But the Obama Scandals don´t get me all riled up with partisan outrage. What´s the surprise? If liberals in the media, in the academy, and in politics stigmatize conservatives as monsters, racists, sexists, homophobes, why be surprised that little Lois Lerner wants to please her teacher? Why wouldn´t the Democrats want to do immigration reform and never mind the consequences to low-paid Americans?

A Warped Prism

There exists a certain real pathos inherent in the NSA´s PRISM program -- and not only because of its attempt to undermine American principles. PRISM, along with its doubtlessly enormous support structure, is based on a worldview that no longer exists among serious intellects (snip) PRISM is much like the other elements of Barack Obama´s great progressive crusade -- ObamaCare, quantitative easing, green economics -- elaborate and expensive systems apt to cause a lot of misery and waste while accomplishing nothing. Liberals like to boast that they are the rational party. But it´s an obsolete rationality

TWA Flight 800 investigators break silence
in new documentary, claim original
conclusion about cause of crash is wrong

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

   

 



 
Edward Snowden Is In The
Process Of Destroying Any Support
And Sympathy He Has Built Up

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

The IRS Immigration Fraud Scandal

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
