| You may recall the 1966 cult-classic by Napoleon XIV titled, "They´re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa." The lyrics of that song describe an individual who is out of his mind and who is being taken "to the funny farm" and to "the loony bin" so he can be attended to by "those nice young men in their clean white coats." The subject of the song is simply considered a danger to society, a menace if you will, crazy, and unable to make rational decisions on his own.(snip) Enter today´s debate over guns.

Obama´s backed off on gun grabbing for now because it´s too big a political fight he can´t win so he´s dancing around the edges. But what he is doing in compiling info on legal gunowners all over the country into a centralized database he could use in the future.
Profile and dossier building on American citizens should be illegal but he´s using the school shooting to overwhelm opposition.

The NRA, and some of its supporters, had an over-the-top reaction in anticipation of something that didn´t happen. All the screaming that he was trying to confiscate all guns - he never said that, he never proposed that. The Congressman who was ready to start impeachment proceedings if Obama dared issued any executive orders...and the executive orders were requesting more studies, telling Justice to enforce existing laws, etc.
When you are hurt, yes, speak up and speak up mightily. There will be a boisterous conversation in Congress on the proposed legislation and yes, most of it will not pass. But the NRA has lost the high ground by pretending that existing laws, with existing enforcement levels, was a line in the sand. The Second Amendment sacrosanct? Okay. Laws and regulations as of 2012 sacrosanct? Nope.

The prezzzy is out of his depth on this issue and being egged on by the lunatic media and the statists. I´m sending money to the NRA the only group willing to stand up to this tyrant with strength in numbers, the are willing to fight unlike the GOP.
I support everyone doing their part to keep guns out of the hands of lunatics and away from kids without training. I´m not going on some database by answering these questions. It forces us to lie, because if we refuse to answer, we get put in a database anyway.

So #3, a "nudge" does not mean that they are coming to take the guns. Really?

Perhaps we replace the repub party with the NRA....It´s nice to see an organization fighting with us instead of against ...Just feels good not to have a bunch of wankers compromise and back down....Unfortunately, the country club sect will NEVER follow suit.

FTA: "The subject of the song is simply considered a danger to society, a menace if you will, crazy, and unable to make rational decisions on his own."
This song describes the current imperial, so-called president. (No, he doesn´t deserve a capital "P")

#3 is way wrong.
NØbama had much more sinister plans for what he was going to announce yesterday -- including confiscation.
But then the NRA rose up -- with the added power of 250,000 new members in that last month -- and made it clear that we would fight to the death to stop NØbama from infringing on our 2nd amendment rights.
So NØbama got the message loud and clear, and knew this was a fight he was going to lose. NØbama cares far more about his reputation and legacy than anything else (being the most egotistical president in history -- even out-egoing Clinton), so he backed down massively.
As #11 said, it worked!!! The NRA lookes stronger than ever!!! Thank God!!!

FTA: Obama also, back in 1996 when he was running for the Illinois Senate, filled out a questionnaire for a community group in Chicago in which he answered "yes" to a question that included whether the State should ban the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns.

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.
