In 2000, Rosie O´Donnell´s bodyguard applied for a gun permit in Greenwich, Connecticut, presumably so he could protect O´Donnell´s child on the way to a public school. The gun permit was, Rosie claimed, sought by the security firm of her bodyguard and not O´Donnell herself -- but she did not veto the decision. O´Donnell was therefore a partner with, an enabler of, the one who paid (indirectly) for this application for gun usage, regardless of how she attempted to compartmentalize the decision in her mind as someone else´s action and responsibility.

Author is Jack Kemp, not Steve McCann.
I wonder if we will see more incidences such as that experienced by Richard Burgess, where anti-self-defense bullies try to make a scene in public over a law-abiding citizen who is legally armed.

If the media "outs" gun owners then they should also "out" Muslims. On 9/11 Muslims murders far more Americans than law abiding gun owners ever have.

Maybe there should a list of those that do not own guns, that way criminals would target them and not risk being confronted by a gun owner.

How about let´s out voters? The unions don´t want you to have a secret vote. They want to know how you voted. They want it to be public.
So, let´s change the law so that how people vote is a matter of public record. Who do you think would be more interested in hiding how they voted, democrats or Republicans?

The day they ´out´ legal gun owners is the day I predict home break-ins will escalate and all those legal guns will be reported as stolen.

Pleases out me.
Please please please
Why?
Because it´s "illegal" to tell the yayhoos "I´ve got a gun and am willing and trained to use it on you"
Let the State and the newspapers do that for me.

#3 -- Don´t equate not owning a gun with opposing the Second Amendment. I went into a line of work incompatible with owning my own gun. So I chose to give away my gun.
But I never rescinded my fully-paid life membership in the NRA, nor changed my belief that a person has an unalienable right to defend him/herself with a gun if needed.
´Retaliate´ against this CT bill by ´outing´ people who oppose others´ right to keep and bear arms. People who support that right, but freely choose not to exercise it for themselves, are with us -- not against us.

I like the idea of "outing" those who have had abortions. Let´s get a map posted of those people who really HAVE killed someone instead of the law abiding gun owners who haven´t. Last year planned non-parenthood performed 334,000 abortions. Yep, P n-P performed an abortion on one out of every twenty women of child bearing age in this country last year.
Meanwhile, 80 million law abiding gun owners killed no one...

We should use the 10 to 1 method that perhaps Nazis the Japanese used in WWII while being occupiers: For every one category the liberals out law abiding citizens, conservatives or Christians, we will force lists to be published for liberal membership groups. Some of the first members that should be outed are: everyone who is a member of Media Matters; CPUSA; and remmants of Acorn(or whatever chameleon name they´ve adopted since their exposure for illicit deeds); Black Panthers, former Underground Weathermen; CAIR. Let´s go looking for members of the Muslim Brotherhood/USA! So here we have seven groups now but need three more.

Why do they attack us? Why do they hate us? Why must they have our rights and our privacy? Why do they think and act like they own us? On national TV they joke about killing those few of us who dare exercise God-given rights recognized under the constitution. They seem to think that now is the time to compel us to board the USS Welfare and be set out to sea forever.

I am thinking of a little bit of data mining. A list of personal property tax bills ranked from largest to smalles.
A list of high value car owners by manufacture.
A list of private plane ownership again by model and manufacture.
I´ll bet a certain segment of society would love to know when the private plan of an owner of a Mercedes 550 happens to depart it primary hanger.

#11, Rosie and her wife just greeted the arrival of a new baby girl.
I´m not surprised at the effort to "out" gun owners--and shame them. Many years ago, our pediatrician questioned me about guns in our home. When asked what business it was of his, he told me the American Academy of Pediatricians was recommending that all doctors ask this of their patients´ parents as a public health issue.

Commies are writing the bills, they legislate them, and their media will publish the lists. Even if by chance the bill to oust abortions would pass commie media wouldn´t publish the list. Just as well they are not "interested" in what happened in Benghazi, or any other topic negative to commies. Pure fascism!

Twiddle twaddle even the suggestion of all these lists is a compromise with individual freedom. If the anti minions don´t like private gun ownership acknowledged openly let´s see how they fare if it all goes underground. Send the Feds a bill of sale --I no longer own this gun --- that is secured and not findable. My grandfather made sure everyone knew he had sold his during the last ownership flareup.

map showing where every welfare recipient lives.
map showing where every person receiving food stamps lives.
map showing location of every person receiving social security disability.
An predictable result will be disgruntled neighbors ratting out their neighbors who appear to be defrauding the public...

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Superman was created in 1938 by Jerome Siegel and Joe Shuster, designed as an adolescent anodyne and savior, in large part, from the hitlerian juggernaut that had sent so many surviving graphic artists and novelists over the oceans for succor. (snip) The Brit Henry Cavill, who plays American Man of Steel without a lapse back into English (joke intended), is certainly handsome enough, but lacks the smooth, seamless facial planes and hauteur of his predecessor. Certainly, Cavill´s physique is peerless, but he seems querulous and even hesitant onscreen as often as he seems commanding.

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

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.

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." 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?

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

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.

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.
