Scarborough Warns: GOP ‘Better
Tread Lightly,’ Obama Gun Proposals
Enjoy ‘Overwhelming Support’

Mediaite, by Andrew Kirell

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/17/2013 12:10:07 PM

After reviewing President Obama‘s 23 “executive actions” signed into law yesterday, Joe Scarborough said Thursday morning that his Republican Party had better proceed with caution, seeing as how he believes the policy proposals have the “overwhelming” support of the American people. The president’s plan included universal background checks on gun purchases, which Scarborough said has the support of at least “85% of Americans.” The president’s call for a restoration the “military-style assault weapons” ban, the MSNBC host said, enjoys at least “60/40? support. “Almost 7 in 10 americans support” limiting

Comments:
This moron is more detrimental to the party than the RINO´s because he is in the media daily. "Treading lightly" is what has gotten the Republicans in the fix we are in. The last election is a perfect example. Shut up Joe.

With all due respect to the parents who lost loved ones at the Sandy Hook shooting if I had a child in school today, and I will have grandchildren there shortly, I want them protected. I want guards, or armed personnel on campus trained and willing to defend lives. I do not want the ability to defend my young ones stripped from me. If it´s about protecting our children it is about being armed to the teeth to do so. If anyone had been armed the outcome could have been vastly different. I have been telling everyone I talk to my position. I do not know why that is so hard to understand.

I would suspect in the closed world of liberals thats true. But get rid of the bias and you might just find something different.

Keep repeating the lie until it becomes the truth.

Just who does RINO Joe think is buying up all those guns and ammo? I think folks are really demonstrating "overwhelming Support" for the Constitution and specifically "shall not infringe".
But then Scarborough is suffering from the "Stockholm Syndrome". He´s been too close to the Left for so long he has become one of them.

Most of the people in the United States don´t know who Joe Scarborough, have never heard of him.

I first heard of him here and can´t get rid of him as he pops up here daily, usually in multiple posts.

Have we unwittingly given him celebrity he doesn´t deserve?

At the risk of being out-of-step again - it´s good to separate the message from the messenger. I think he´s right. No one but the most hardcore conservative purists (like most here) objects to background checks for gun purchases at this point. To me, it´s kind of like the voter ID issue - like voting, guns are a privilege, and why would one object if there is nothing objectionable in one´s background? I know it could lead to abuses, but then everything can, and they could be addressed.

Everyone knows everything anyway! I called last night regarding resetting user ID and PW for a credit card, and I was shocked by the multiple choice questions the agent was asking me. I asked her how she knew these things, and she said, "Public records"!

A couple of thgs need to be clarified. UNLIKE voting, owning a firearm is NOT a privilege, Sir. It is a RIGHT, recognized in the Constitution. Not conferred- RECOGNIZED as existing, specificlly to instruct government NOT to interfere.

Arguably, we have agreed as a society that there are certain persons, under certain circumstances, who have forfeited that right - felons for example, who have ALSO forfeited their right to vote. But a word to the wise - a RIGHT does not become a privilege because you say so.

Secondly with very limited exceptions virtually ALL firearm transfers involve a background check. In certain states, firearms inherited, transferred from parent to child, (of legal age to possess) or between spouse do not.

Statements to the contrary do not change those facts. Finally, statements by faux pundits lke Scarborough, about what "the majority of the American people" want are not rendered factual by repeating them.

There is a prescribed method for altering the Constitution. It is VERY difficult to achieve, as it should be. Until then It doesn´t matter what you or anyone else "wants". It is a Bill of RIGHTS, not a Bill of ´Wants´ or Needs´. /Rant

Left wingers have a truly symbiotic relationship with mainstream/´progressive´ reporters: The media like to project their own opinions and concerns onto others, and their Liberal audience love to be told what they believe or feel by intellectual elites whose opinions and feelings they trust.

Seeing "sources say", "experts report", "research reveals", or "the people support/oppose" makes me growl now. Because nobody with any integrity lets another person tell them what they believe, think, or feel.

Owning a gun is not a privilege. It is a RIGHT guaranteed to us by the United States Constitution. We have the legal right to bare arms. Driving a car on public highways is not a right and you must have a license to do so.

IMHO, UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS is code for NATIONAL DATABASE, which is what they really want. With that they will have the ability to pick us off one subset at a time. If you are on that database will they come for your gun if you are accused of domestic violence, or go through a personal tragedy and need to see a doctor, or if you get a traffic ticket and might want to shoot up a courthouse etc....

#14, you called to reset your ID and PW on a credit card and you didn´t freak out that they were using data from public records to confirm that you were who you said you were? Does your credit card company think that credit card thieves don´t have access to public records?


Reply 26 - Posted by: lakerman1, 1/17/2013 1:40:18 PM     (No. 9122391)

#21, you are correct, I suspect. And if you combine that database with the mandatory medical records computerization, (which was added to the 2009 stimulus bill, with 35 billion dollars of funding) the federal government will be able to identify anyone taking any kind of ´psychiatric´ drug, and deny them the right to purchase a firearm.
How bad is this? Hypothetical - death of a loved one, prescription for valium to take to get through the funeral? doesn´t matter -- psychiatric label on you.

Things change. I´d bet an ´overwhelming´ number of Americans would really like to know who organized and ran Operation Fast And Furious. There would be ´support´ for finding who it was that instructed the AZ gun store to sell ´assault´ weapons to obvious drug dealers, breaking several gun control laws in the process.

The problems with the background is arbitrary denials and false negatives. You should be automatically approved if there is any doubt as this is the stronger right. The opposite is the way they want to implement it. Also, it creates a database that by it´s nature is not private and can be used against you.
If a majority of people want to stop paying taxes will they go along with that?
I didn´t realize Joe was so dumb. I have never watched him. Has he always been like this?

The tens of thousands (and more) who are waiting in long, long lines willing to shell over hundreds of thousands of dollars might disagree with you. This will do nothing to stop the black on black crime of the inner cities (Chicago, NY are you listening?). It´s the breakdown of the family, the absent fathers and trashy mothers. They are the problem first and foremost. Joe is a boil that needs to be lanced.

FTA: The president’s plan included universal background checks on gun purchases, which Scarborough said has the support of at least "85% of Americans."

So what?

Self-defense, armed [that is, effective] self-defense, is an inalienable right recognized in the Constitution, and recognized by the Constitution as beyond reach of any gov´t we may establish.

There´s simply no discussion that can be had that counters that fact.

But yes, criminals can be stripped of weapons, but that is because they forfeit the right to arms by actions that damage the legitimate rights of the law-abiding.

All it takes is a little knowledge and some careful, disciplined reasoning to "get" this stuff. But it ain´t rocket surgery, friends. It just ain´t.

# 14 you are wrong about guns a voting. They are both rights. A privilege is a drivers license or credit card. As for background checks, that makes sense, but kind of like you said; who sets the standards for what is and is not objectionable? Seems simple enough not to let convicted murderers and psychos have guns, but some mass murderers are neither before they act.

National Review Hammers Gang

Breitbart´s Big Journalism, by Warner Todd Huston    Original Article
Posted By: KarenJ1- 6/19/2013 10:40:14 PM     Post Reply
In a new editorial, the folks at National Review came out strongly against the immigration plan being sponsored by the "Gang of Eight," a group of Senators that includes Marco Rubio (R-FL), calling the bill "Rubio´s Folly." National Review urges Senator Rubio to vote against the bill he has helped craft. It slams the proposed legislation as, "an amnesty-first, enforcement-maybe program drawn up mainly to reflect the priorities of 11 million citizens of other countries rather than the concerns of more than 300 million citizens of the United States." The editors point out that many of the

A pair of centrist senators introduced a bill Wednesday to soften the employer mandate in President Obama´s healthcare law. The healthcare law requires employers to offer coverage to employees who work more than 30 hours per week. Some employers have said they will reduce workers´ hours to avoid the mandate. Sens. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) proposed a bill to move the threshold to 40 hours per week, saying the employer mandate should match the traditional definition of a full-time worker. "What we´ve tried to do is be reflective of the businesses we work with,"

Marco Rubio made another one of his seemingly endless appearances on Sean Hannity’s program to advocate amnesty legislation. Rubio told Hannity that he has opposed amendments by Republican Senators to improve the legislation’s enforcement provisions because a new enforcement provision will be proposed tomorrow that is tougher and more effective than what has been proposed so far. Rand Paul’s amendment, which Rubio voted against, would have given Congress, not the Department of Homeland Security, the ultimate authority to determine if the border is effectively secure. It would also have included enhanced security measures, such as requiring a

To a remarkable degree, liberalism has been institutionalized as an official ideology, funded by your tax dollars. This editorial in Investors Business Daily explains, in shocking detail, how Obamacare is being used to fund Democratic Party operatives and drive Democratic Party enrollment: The Obama administration granted a whopping $910 million to California to set up its insurance exchange. That money is not for bandages, surgery, nurses and doctors to care for the sick. …Shockingly, the $910 million is slated for bureaucracy, including rich compensation packages for exchange employees ($360,000 a year for the executive director) and contracts for

The popularity of Obamacare has crashed to its lowest level in nearly two years, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Kaiser´s monthly tracking poll found that just 35 percent have a favorable view of the health reform being put into place Jan. 1 while 43 percent view it unfavorably. The favorability rating of Obamacare has been worse only once, in October 2011, when it fell to 34 percent. Not only is the June poll bad news for the president as his administration struggles to have the health reform program ready for people to begin signing up

Americans are already wary of the federal government having collected their phone records, but now we have Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., setting up a slippery slope of more and more data collection. Earlier today, a Washington Examiner editorial warned that "if phone records are useful now in stopping terrorist attacks, how long before politicians and bureaucrats decide archiving the entire phone call would be even more useful? How long before the limitations and safeguards now in place are set aside?" Within a few hours, King provided an illustration of precisely what the Examiner editors fear. Responding to a

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is feeling the heat as potential GOP allies are now turning against his immigration reform bill. Republican colleagues who were previously viewed as possible “yes” votes are keeping their distance from the 1,075-page measure. On Wednesday, conservative activists ripped Rubio and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — both sponsors of the bipartisan immigration measure — at a Capitol Hill rally. The crowd, which was protesting the bill’s effort to put millions of illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship, booed at the mention of Rubio’s name during the six-hour event.

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

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,"

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

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

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.
