| On Wednesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” conservative talk show host Mark Levin said President Barack Obama’s executive actions to curb gun violence, which were announced during a Wednesday press event, are as “un-American” and “fascistic” as they are unhelpful. “What do any of these 23 [executive actions] have to do with what happened in Newtown? I’ve studied all 23 of them now. They have absolutely nothing to do with the mass murder that took place in Connecticut — zero. And the president won’t be asked about it. I have gone through

Comments: At least when Roosevelt attempted his "gun grab," he did it legislatively.
It didn´t work then, and it probably won´t work this time, right?

Mark is right on the mark (no pun intended)...Comrade Obama´s Soviet Era Illegal Executive Orders are patently wrong and downright UN-American! This is NOT about making our children safer, it is a more sinister plot at grab not only the guns, but the a move to stifle individual rights and freedoms! We all know where he is headed with this...stand by!

Based on what is publicly known, none of the proposals would have prevented Columbine, the Gabby Gifford murders, the Joker shootings or the Sandy Hook massacre. I do not believe they would have prevented the Virginia Tech killings either.
We still do not have the basic facts about many of these killings. The refusal of public officials to share what is known with the public in a timely fashion permits and in fact requires the formation of all kinds of false narratives. People generate theories and push agendas that may have nothing to do with what actually took place. There is an urgent need for officials to abandon their habit of stonewalling the public about established facts. Such a policy has no place in the modern information age.

Oh, please Mark, calm down! This is not the 1930s.
"You know a tiny fraction of murders occur from mentally ill people? There is no connection between reality and this president is proposing" Well, you could say that the 20 children murdered in Newtown were a "tiny fraction" of the murders committed in 2013...but that doesn´t make the act any less heinous. And I doubt that Gabbie Giffords feels any better knowing that her shooter was only in a "tiny fraction" of shooters for 2011. No connection to reality? Tell that to the families changed forever by Tucson, Aurora and Newtown.

No Mark. You express the outrage of many Americans are paying attention. Don´t calm down like our fearless leaders like Boehner and McConnell with their sedated demeanor no matter what Obama says or does.

Oh, #5 give it a rest. Nothing, nothing in the world can make the murders at Newtown and anywhere else less heinous. Not all the wrong-headed, ineffectual, unconstitutional laws in the world would make them less heinous - or less likely to happen. It is sick that people can so easily comfort themselves over these tragedies by playing a dishonest blame game and jumping on the idiotic gun control wagon. It is beyond sick - it is evil - for politicians to promote themselves with "look at me I´m so grand" speeches that serve only for ostentatious display of ego.
These events stun us because they are so vicious and the numbers of innocent victims so high. Same is true of passenger plane crashes - because there are more people on board they get far more attention than small plane crashes or a two-car collision on a rural road late Saturday night. But a state of shock is not a good place for setting far-reaching policies and regulations.
0bama´s over-the-top demeaning of millions of Americans is nothing less than bullying and baiting. He wants confrontation. He wants trouble. He does not want peace in our land. He is a despicable excuse for a human being. Same for Cuomo, a common thug.
May God preserve us and our beloved nation. Ramona (the Pest)

The way all those killings could have been shortened or even stopped is if someone else there had a gun. Only a sane person with a gun can stop an insane person with a gun. How difficult is that to understand. If more sane citizens would conceal carry and be properly trained there would be fewer mass murders. A "gun free zone" sign only keeps out the law abiding citizens that carry.

Having Mr. O in Our House has changed families in America forever. His destruction reaches far and wide and he keeps telling us that he has much more destruction he wants to accomplish.
Mark Levin is correct, the Propaganda and the Agenda are just like the 1930s magnetic leader.
Keep up the good fight Mark, hoping your words reach the no-information voters.

Let´s see there´s around 300 million of us innocent Americans who did NOT engage in mass murders compared to, say, around ten nutjobs last year, yes? Is that percentage even computable mathematically? So, of course, we all feel deeply for those affected, but to punish innocent people for those who commit evil - to leave innocent people helpless who might be confronted with evil with no way of self-defense - that´s just evil itself! And, for what? The real reason, and we all know this, is control. Helpless people are much easier to deal with, are they not, Obama.

To Zippy and the other gun control zealots, Newtown was ´good timing´ for the cause.
Where is the study on why young males in that age group tend to commit mass murders ?

Read the executive orders. They´re harmless, which is probably why gun stocks surged up today on the news. Comparing Barry to the Third Reich is not particularly helpful regarding the GOP´s acute credibility gap.

The timing of this event could not have been more fortuitous for BO. While unemployment is still a disaster, massive federal and state tax increases in 2013, energy and food costs soaring, Benghazi cover up, debt ceiling, non-existent budget, North Africa explosion and hostage taking and the Sandy hurricane pork grab, all BO has to do is cart out a bunch of cronies´ kiddies, honor the deceased at Sandy Hook and offer some faked anecdotes of gullible saps to parade his "successes" and that crisis will not go to waste.
It is too sickening to comprehend.

Mega dittos, #7. Well said. The bunny is racking up many deserved rebukes.

Now that is funny, #12. Mark Levin is not even remotely responsible for the GPO´s acute credibility gap. LOL!!

On his Friday radio show, conservative talker Mark Levin challenged support from for this current of immigration reform coming from prominent Republicans, particularly Jeb Bush and Karl Rove. Levin, author of “Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America,” began his attack by arguing some members of the Republican Party make policy gestures without mentioning the U.S. Constitution. “It amazes me how few Republicans in elected office actually talk about the Constitution,” Levin said. “They have no more respect for it, no more concern about its boundaries and limits than the left. That’s why I say they’re neo-statist.”

On Tuesday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer argued that Attorney General Eric Holder is now a liability for President Barack Obama on either of two grounds: lying under oath or incompetence. Krauthammer said Holder’s remarks about his knowledge of the much-publicized Justice Department probe of Fox News Channel correspondent James Rosen suggested Holder was either out of it or had blatantly lied to Congress in testimony about his knowledge of the probe. “The fact that he says that the gravity of the situation didn’t sink in until yesterday makes you wonder

On Michael Graham’s Massachusetts-based radio show on Thursday, National Review columnist Mark Steyn reacted to the treatment of Lois Lerner, the now-suspended head of the Internal Revenue Service’s division on tax-exempt organizations. Lerner, who had asserted her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during an appearance before the House Oversight Committee in a hearing on Wednesday, was the object of ridicule by Steyn on the show. “Is this a republic or is it not?” Steyn said. “Because, if it is what a republic is then you guys wasted your whole time with your revolution — because they are basically saying

Long before the Internal Revenue Service revealed it had improperly targeted conservative 501(c)(4) groups, a group of Democratic senators led by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer urged the IRS to do just that. The IRS’s admission last Friday that it had singled out tea party and other groups for extra audits and delays has raised concerns that President Barack Obama’s administration quietly attempted to stymy opponents through intimidation. But many prominent Democrats — including Montana Sen. Max Baucus, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State and the New York Times editorial board — had been

On Hugh Hewitt’s Thursday night program, National Review columnist Mark Steyn explained why the Obama administration’s response to last September’s terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was so appalling.“They let him die, and then told lies over his coffin,” he told fill-in host Guy Benson. Steyn said that the late U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was a true believer of President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s view of the Arab Spring, that it was a positive movement and was trying to make the best of it.

On Aaron Klein’s weekend show on New York City’s WABC radio, Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe accused the Obama administration of buying up ammunition at an unprecedented level to bypass the Second Amendment so gun-owners “can’t even buy ammunition because government is purchasing so much.” “Let’s make sure that your audience out there is aware, Aaron, that our president, Obama, has been doing everything he could to stop the private ownership of guns in America,” Inhofe said. “You know that, everyone knows that. And yet he’s been voted down in a big way by a large majority.

On Thursday night’s edition of "The O’Reilly Factor" on the Fox News Channel, host Bill Bill O’Reilly and former Clinton campaign adviser James Carville debated whether liberals have been pushed further to left by activists and various media factions. O’Reilly pointed to Wednesday’s May Day protest in Seattle as one piece of evidence. He also pinned the blame on MSNBC, arguing that his employer’s cable news rival is “putting forth” a far left ideology. Carville disagreed and said the hosts on MSNBC network, including Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski do not hold views of the far left.

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

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?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

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

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
