| In the midst of a ferocious battle with the president over gun control in America, the National Rifle Association continues to have more supporters than detractors, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. According to the poll, the NRA enjoys 41% positive approval rating, with a 34% negative rating. That compares with 41% positive and 29% negative in January 2011. The NRA has been in the spotlight after the December massacre of 20 children at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Conn. NRA executive Wayne LaPierre proposed putting armed guard in schools —

Classic Sun Tzu. Try to build the illusion that your forces are stronger than they really are while attempting to convince the enemy forces that they are weaker than they are so they will not fight. The lies from the White House are so flagrant as to be ridiculous.
But it only works if the enemy has a choice. This is a must-win battle for the NRA and for real Americans.

Never let a crisis go to waste.
Pass some new laws. Don´t stop to think or explain how these laws would have stopped the most recent tragedy that you are exploiting. Don´t think or explain that the items you want to ban ("assault" rifles), are used in only a relative handful of crimes each year. That´s not the point.
The point is to exploit the emotional shock and go on to the next teir of restrictions. Of course that won´t work, which will leave the door open for the next round of restrictions when the next big tragedy occurs.
I´m beginning to see a pattern here.....

Again... don´t believe any of the polls issued by the MSM. People vote with their feet and wallets. I signed up again with the NRA yesterday. I consider that a patriotic political donation.
Obama can issue all of the Executive Orders he wants, but who will pay any attention to them, and for that matter, who will enforce them. As far as the so called Justice Department goes, when Holder turns himself in for authorizing wholesale murder in Mexico, I might just start believing in our legal system once again.

Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. The uptick in the negative rating might indicate that the socialist in chiefs propaganda campaign, aided and abetted by the complicit media, is gaining traction. There are millions of stupid people in this country. Surely, not all 0bama´s votes came from the long-dead, the illegals, or those being bused from poll to poll by the SEIU and ACORN ballot-box stuffers.

Make no mistake, it was the NRA that stopped Obama from making the speech and the EO´s that he wanted to make during that pathetic press conference. He was going to use the word ´confiscate´ but had to back away from it.
What if he had used it? I should have been the trigger for articles of inpeachment. Would it have been? Would our pathetically weak Republican Party have arisin to the occasion? I don´t not trust that they would. Only three out of the 535 have said that they would. No checks and balances in any of the three branches of government. We are living in very dangerous times.
I have never belonged to the NRA, but I think the time has come. They saved us for a little while, but Obama will be back again for more of our freedoms next week. He won´t quit until he succeeds. He must be stopped, yet no one in Congress or the Judiciary will do it. Thank you NRA for doing what our Congress Critters should have done. The Constitution should be a bipartisian endeavor. We are in a period of history when it isn´t.

I have belonged to the NRA since 1962. I served on active duty in the Navy for 25 years--four combat tours in Vietnam. My Smith and Wesson Combat Masterpiece saved my life three times. I stil have that pistol within reach most of the time. Obama is a gutless, treasonous coward. He is a bully that hides behind the Secret Service. He should be impeached on grounds of high crimes against the American people and the Constitution. I tell you that I am so fed up that I am ready to pick up my rifle and march on Washington.

I just wish the NRA would understand that every time they endorse a democrat, regardless of the personal views of the democrat regarding the second amendment, it is only empowering the NRA´s enemy. All too often, it appears that the occasional democrat support for the right of freedom loving Americans to have the means to defend themselves from criminals and tyranny, is politically motivated, politically expedient, and temporary.

The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight.

With three different scandals threatening to consume the White House last week—the Benghazi cover-up, the Justice Department’s seizure of the phone records of dozens of Associated Press reporters, and the revelation of an anti-Tea Party inquisition by the Internal Revenue Service—CNBC’s John Harwood offered his journalistic peers some advice on Twitter: “Those of us in political-media world should just shut up about ‘narratives’ and focus on what’s true.” CBS anchor Scott Pelley joined in: “We are getting big stories wrong, over and over again.” The fact that these sentiments needed to be expressed is a damning indictment of the media,

In the wee hours of the morning of January 27, 2013, a Wikipedia editor named “Qworty” made a series of 14 separate edits to the Wikipedia page for the late writer Barry Hannah, a well-regarded Southern writer with a taste for the Gothic and absurd. Qworty cut paragraphs that included quotes from Hannah’s work. He removed 20 links to interviews, obituaries and reminiscences concerning Hannah. He cut out a list of literary prizes Hannah had won. Two edits stand out. Qworty excised the phrase “and was regarded as a good mentor” from a sentence that started:

Pollster John Zogby reports in our weekly White House report card that President Obama´s scandal-filled disaster week has cost him his majority support and sapped enthusiasm for his second term. "As Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth might have said, this was ´weekus horribilis´ for President Obama. Three fires in the form of three scandals to put out in one week. Are locusts next? While Obama has tried to get ahead of each -- Benghazi, the Associated Press, and the IRS vs. the Tea Party -- the time to get ahead of these things is, well, ahead of them.

Prompted by Peggy Noonan´s claim in The Wall Street Journal that "we are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate," Andrew Sullivan steps forward to defend Pres. Obama´s honor. "Can she actually believe this?," he asks incredulously. "Has this president broken the law, lied under oath, or authorized war crimes? Has he traded arms for hostages with Iran? Has he knowingly sent his cabinet out to tell lies about his sex life? Has he sat by idly as an American city was destroyed by a hurricane?

Security along the U.S. border with Mexico is perhaps the key factor in the debate over comprehensive immigration reform. Those who believe the border is mostly secure already are more inclined to support the plan of the bipartisan Gang of Eight in the Senate -- legalization first, followed by enhanced security. Those who believe the border is still far from secure are more likely to oppose the Gang of Eight´s approach, insisting that heightened security measures be in place before the nation´s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants are legalized. Now, a new report from the Council on Foreign Relations

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
