| Attorney General Eric Holder made a few remarks about the massacre at Newtown, Connecticut´s Sandy Hook Elementary School that should raise some eyebrows. "As a nation I think we have to ask ourselves some hard questions. We gather too often to talk about these kinds of incidents. We need to discuss who we are as a nation, talk about the freedoms that we have, the rights that we have and how those might be used in a responsible way. But for now I think we should concentrate on dealing with the situation in Connecticut and we are doing,

Instead of gun control Obama should do something about jobs. This spate of recent killings have been carried out by young, terminally jobless leftists-otherwise known as Obama voters.

Good Grief! Everybody with any Republican/Libertarian leanings knew this was coming! Like a freight train coming down the tracks this was telegraphed from the first stories about what happened in Connecticut.
The Regime screwed up the" Fast&Furious Debacle. It was inevitable that there would be another incident that would happen to create another assault on the Second Amendment. The real shame of this whole incident is that 20 children (and their unfulfilled life promises), and the other eight who gave their lives as well. Become the tools of a shameful, political agenda, and an end-run on the US Constitution. Will those lives be remember for the way they were taken in this Christmas Season, and the grief of their families? Or will they like Zippy´s Photo-OPs become meaningless pages in a record of The Demon´RAT Political Agenda to wreck 230plus years of American History?

OK. Here´s a hard question. How come you don´t care about the gun violence in the slums of Chicago?
Here´s another: What role does the absence of moral teaching in our schools contribute to violence?
And another: Why is it that the areas with the strictest gun control have the most gun related incidents?

I have seen several psychiatrists and psychologists on the news shows yesterday and today, explaining the inadequacies of our mental health system. And they are correct. That is the issue should be discussed after the school massacre. The guns and other weapons will always be available.
Mental health systems funded by the state and federal governments hires ´counselors´ at the entry level of the system, most of whom without appropriate course work to prepare them for the job. And it is at this entry level where the tough diagnoses must take place, quickly. Compound that weakness in the system with the absolute privacy requirements established by dead ted kennedy´s HIPPA (Health Insurance Portabilitiy/Privacy ACt of 1985) and it is forbidden for the mental health provider to speak with family members without the permission of the patient. So a mentally ill patient is able to prohibit the mental health provider from even talking to the family. And the family usually has the best measure of the problem with the patient, and can offer that valuable information to the provider.

What we must answer are hard questions about ulterior motives, the lengths to which the Alinskian Socialists will go to establish a hedgemony of the elite, and the role that disarming the population plays in that whole scenario.
Meanwhile, remember Fast ´n´ Furious, sit yer stinkin´ tail down, and shut yer hypocritical yap, Holder.

Holder: We Must Answer ´Hard Questions´ About Gun Rights´
Me: You haven´t even answered any soft questions about why you sent 2000 weapons down to Mexico resulting in the deaths of 300 Mexicans and some Americans. You and your lying boss are criminals and should be in prison. Yes President Bush sent a few weapons down there, but they tracked them, something you weren´t swift enough to do, or you didn´t want them tracked back to you. The word is out, you did this as a way to ban guns by blaming gun dealers. I´m mow wondering how many random shootings in the USA now are also part of the same sick plan. You should not be reconfirmed for the job. Criminals should not head up the ´Justice´ Department.

FTA: "We need to discuss who we are as a nation, talk about the freedoms that we have, the rights that we have and how those might be used in a responsible way."
here´s how a citizen used his rights in a responsible way. too bad your GFSZ didnt allow an armed citizen in the CT school.

There have been guns in the US for a long time. There have been schools here for almost as long. If guns are the issue, why have we not seen a long line of school shootings prior to about 10-15 years ago? Something else is happening and some guesses have been made: It is too hard to commit those who are seriousy mentally ill. The news media lionizes school shooters with 24 hour coverage--something that must appeal to the deranged sociopaths. The entertainment media, including movies, music, video games, and television is graphically violent and pornographic.

Mr. Holder, how about you answer our numerous questions about "Operation Fast & Furious", and operation you authorized, and an operation which has resulted in the deaths of more than three hundred people in Mexico and two American law enforcement officers?
WHY did you FORCE American gun dealers to sell weapons to Mexico´s most murderous drug cartels?
WHY did you make no attempt to trace those weapons, or interdict them before they crossed the border?
WHY are you hiding behind "Executive Privilege" if you did nothing wrong?
WHY do you think you have the slightest shred of credibility when it comes to the topic of gun control?

My questions:
When will Rupert Murdoch´s wished for politicians "have the courage" to ban guns? Answer: They already have... Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot...
Does Obama´s blinking during his "mournful" speeches indicate tears? Anser: No, eyes are too dry, must blink...
Do zero-population growth liberals want more children to die? Answer: How else do you explain the ever-expanding killing fields known as gun-free zones, where the mass killers repeatedly go for their rampages?
Do the media want more deaths? Answer: How else do you explain the extravagant show of publicity, known to be the primary motive of these deranged murderers?

Oh, one additional question, Mr. Holder: Why do you liberals hate science? When objective analysis shows that more guns equals less crime, why do you and your allies continue to oppose the one thing that is scientifically proven to lead to less crime? (And less mass-murder and genocide by tyrants, as mentioned before.)

President Barack Obama followed in the footsteps of past U.S. leaders with a speech Wednesday at Berlin´s iconic Brandenburg Gate, where he said he would ask Russia to join the United States in slashing its supply of strategic nuclear warheads. "I intend to seek negotiated cuts with Russia to move beyond Cold War nuclear postures," Obama said in the city that symbolized the East-West divide in the decades after World War II. Repeating his campaign themes of equal opportunity and freedom for all, Obama said such ideals can provide the prosperity sought by all nations -- especially longtime allies

SANFORD, Fla.--The family of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin has "every confidence" that a jury will convict George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch captain accused in his shooting death, a family attorney said. Martin´s family, including his mother Sybrina Fulton and father Tracy Martin, have attended jury selection proceedings in the Seminole County criminal courthouse since they launched more than a week ago. Attorneys in the case have been whittling down a pool of potential jurors, questioning them on their exposure to news reports in the high-profile case.

The Airbus next-generation A350 plane took off commercially at the Paris Air Show on Wednesday, winning multi-billion-dollar deals and the European manufacturer said that more deals were in the air. The news comes just days after the new plane took to the skies in its first ever test flight on Friday, stealing the limelight before the start of the air show -- a key event where Airbus and Boeing compete fiercely for plane orders. The two rivals are currently head-to-head -- $44.6 billion in new plane orders or agreements for Airbus versus $44.8 billion for Boeing -- after Ryanair

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

Female candidates will also be able to join front-line Army and Marine Corps infantry units as part of the department’s decision. “The days of the ‘Rambo’ are over,” Maj. Gen. Bennet Sacolick, head of force development for Special Operations Command, said Tuesday during a briefing announcing the changes. Tuesday’s announcement builds on former Pentagon chief Leon Panetta’s decision in January to end the military’s long-standing ban

Michael Hastings, a contributor to Rolling Stone and BuzzFeed, died on Tuesday morning in a car crash in Los Angeles at the unforgivably young age of 33.He is best known, rightly, for his 2010 Rolling Stone profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who as commander of the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan was the face of the war that Hastings saw as misguided and poorly managed. His profile, “The Runaway General,” portrayed McChrystal as a loose cannon so sure of himself and his strategy for the war that he and his staff openly derided their civilian overseers,

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

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

They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

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.
