| New York Governor Andrew Cuomo publicly declared the death of the US Constitution yesterday, December 20, 2012. Cuomo, in few short sentences, has begun laying the essential groundwork for the possible mass deportation of undesirable civilians to government "work" camps, re-education camps, and even death camps. After all, only disarmed Americans can be herded and shipped off in cattle cars to their uncertain fate. Cuomo statements are a more than warning shot across the bow of American liberty. They signal that the Democrats and the MSM have jettisoned any remaining loyalty to Constitutional freedoms and individual rights.

One of the 3 worst Presidents of the last 100 years, FDR, confiscated all personal gold.
The Progressives trashed the Constitution long ago. This is nothing new.

Immediately after 9/11 many dimocrats accused Bush/Cheney of setting up the attack so they would have an excuse to go into Iraq and steal their oil. By that logic, it would appear the dimocrats setup Adam Lanza to attack this school so they could steal our guns. Lunacy, yes, but the connection is far less tenuous than 9/11 to Iraq and we are seeing an immediate exploitation of this incident to further the dimocrats long-term goals of disarming the populace, a la every totalitarian regime in history.

If anyone would do it, it is this guy. They don´t call him the Thug for no reason. NY the land of retroactive King´s law. Whatever whim strikes the NYC politicians when they aren´t dodging criminal charges, that becomes new law. Given the state of NY´s finances I have no doubt they will pass all kinds of taxes on anything to do with guns. They have a data base of every legal handgun owner in the state. That´s where they will start and then move on from there. The sheeple in this state bleat for the idea that any sort of authority figure can go into any gun owners home at any time for any reason. Of course they will ´feel´ differently when they are declared a criminal by fiat and they are arrested, but by then none of it will matter.

"..any remaining loyalty to Constitutional freedoms.."
I know many Democrats and have wasted too many hours arguing with them, and can guarantee that the above quote is far too generous. They have no remaining loyalty to Constitutional freedoms whatsoever. The Constitution, to the modern Democrat, is only a block in the road preventing them from imposing Socialism on the USA. That´s it, from A to Z. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need - that´s their constitution, and the few honest ones among them will admit it.

See what "reasonable" gun control gets you? Sooner or later nothing you give them is enough. Look at the smoking bans, taxes and the gay marriage thing for other examples. "We just want this one little thing." Then everyone gets comfortable and then they just want one little thing more. Before long you have nothing except chains. No more gun control. Never again.

Does anyone know about the battles of Lexington and Concord? They were the result of the British to confiscate firearms. It was the spark that ignited the American Revolution. Has any liberal ever read and seriously studied history? Do they have a clue what will likely happen? Remember 1776 and 1861.

Cuomo as a rising star is halarious. Ask any suffering New Yorker who has to pay for gold plated welfare and pension benefits and never ending mandates.
As for Barry´s hero FDR, Barry managed to get a provision in the death bill which would allow the goobermint to confiscate your gold again.

Cuomo was one of the brainchilds of the sub prime instrument to shoehorn unqualified home buyers into houses which led to the mortgage meltdown but you´ll never see or hear that in the news.Ironically banks became "predatory lenders"by complying with Cuomo´s brainstorm which also led to billions in lawsuits from people claiming they were snookered into bad loans when the ARM´s re-adjusted to make up for lost interest on the houses.
The guy who ran against Cuomo was a bit of a nut but he was also a successful businessman who would have cracked down on all of NY´s abuses and they obviously couldn´t allow that.
I actually heard a liberal nut call a show this week and defend the cop who´s making over 400K a year.That´s the kind of mentality we´re up against.These people claim to be the champions of fairness but turn a blind eye to reverse fairness when an average worker is further bled to pay for this crap.

Do conservative sites have to help with the meme that this guy is a "rising star?" The incompetent lost track of $11 billion while he was HUD secretary, a job he got because of who his father was. And his policies help bring on the housing / mortgage crisis that almost sank the economy. It is Andy Cuomo and Barack Obama who should be the fall guys for the housing crisis. Instead, the MSM let´s these two blame it on George W. Bush.

A three-minute video of Sarah Merkle’s testimony about Maryland’s new gun legislation has drawn more than 2 million views on YouTube, won her praise from gun rights advocates across the country and even scored her an interview on national television last week. But the 15-year-old from Baltimore said she cares more about her message. “The biggest part of this is that the pro-gun, Second Amendment argument is getting publicity,” she said. “I like that it actually got out there, and not just because it’s me, but because it’s the argument.”

A growing number of senators are trying to quash gun legislation before it even hits the chamber floor as Democrats hold out hope for a compromise and the White House gears up for a weeklong offensive to pressure Congress to act. Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, said as many as 13 senators now publicly support a filibuster on the motion to proceed on pending gun legislation, which effectively would block debate on the bill. “When you’re in a snake pit, you kill a snake any time and chance that you get,”

In interviews on “Fox News Sunday” and ABC’s “This Week,”Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, pointed out that 90 percent of Americans support President Obama’s plan to expand background checks on citizens who purchase guns, and he pressured Republicans to get on board with what he said where “common-sense measures.” “You can’t get 90 percent of Americans to agree on the weather,” Mr. Pfeiffer said on “Fox News Sunday.” Mr. Pfeiffer warned that a potential Republican filibuster

President Obama won rare foreign policy praise from Republicans for his administration’s handling of the North Korea crisis, as China signaled a possible readiness to play a more active role in pressuring Pyongyang away from provoking a military conflict. Two influential Republicans commended the White House on separate news talk shows Sunday for striking an effective balance by allowing senior Cabinet members to issue cautionary remarks in response to North Korea, while also strategically adjusting the U.S. military posture in the region. “This administration’s acted responsibly,” said Sen.

The world’s greatest deliberative body has started to look a lot like its legislative little brother over the past few years. The Senate was once regarded as the home of the great political orators of the time — not to mention the body where true dealmaking actually took place. Its members prided themselves on their cool approach to legislating, in contrast with the more brawling nature of the House. Senators, generally, liked one another — no matter their party — and weren’t afraid to show it, either personally or politically. No longer. The Senate has undergone a marked transformation

Prospects for a bipartisan deal to expand federal background checks for gun purchases are improving with the emergence of fresh Republican support, according to top Senate aides. The possibility that after weeks of stalled negotiations senators might be on the cusp of a breakthrough comes as President Obama and his top surrogates will begin on Monday their most aggressive push yet to rally Americans around his gun-control agenda. Even though polls show that a universal background-check system is supported by nine in 10 Americans, the president has been unable to translate popular support

On the matter of the president and Kamala Harris, I could go either way. I could write a column — call it Classic Feminist High Dudgeon — lamenting the president’s comments about the California attorney general’s good looks. This column would discuss the continuing, albeit more subtle, discrimination against women in the workplace. It would explain how, even if unintentionally, Obama’s reference to Harris’s attractiveness is demeaning — that it serves, in the apologetic words of White House press secretary Jay Carney, “to diminish the attorney general’s professional accomplishments and her capabilities.” It would, inevitably, invoke the president’s daughters

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
