| The hot new video at MRCTV.org is 1995 footage of Attorney General Eric Holder, when he was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. In his remarks before the Woman´s National Democratic Club, broadcast by CSPAN 2, Holder said people should be ashamed to own guns, just the way that cigarette smokes now "cower outside of buildings" to smoke. "What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that´s not cool, that it´s not acceptable, it´s not hip

I am proud to be a grandmother and a gun owner.
And when I was a smoker, I did not cower in shame for doing something legal.
Has the world gone totally mad?
It is Eric Holder who should be ashamed.

So it´s ok to make up an "alternate reality" to make young people think the founding father´s vision for keeping liberty--i.e. having guns to thwart tyranny, BUT it not OK to simply lay out the facts about "his people".

Do folks remember the non-stop drumbeat against Alberto Gonzalez, Bush´s AG? I don´t even remember what it was for but everyday there was something about how he should resign. At the time I remember saying to myself, "this is what they want this guy to resign over" and now I don´t even remember what it was about. This is precisely the durmbeat that should begin within the Conservative R´s regarding Holder: Holder must go!!! He is a menace to the office of AG, to the country and to the Constitution of the U.S.! What has happened to fast & furious? Nothing, all gone, done and Holder continues on his raping of the US Constitution and the American people´s long held beliefs! STOP Holder now! STOP Holder now! STOP Holder now! should become the new montra for the RNC, the NRA and all those so interested in preserving the integrity of our constitution. STOP Holder now! Holder must go! STOP Holder now! Holder must go! STOP Holder now! Holder must go! Come on everyone together...

"What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that´s not cool, that it´s not acceptable, it´s not hip to carry a gun anymore" (Eric Holder, 1995)
Sorry, Mr. Holder, but when I was a young man, nobody thought it was ´cool´ or ´hip´ to carry a gun. None of my friends and nobody I knew carried a gun -- it was illegal; it was very illegal.
So just who are these ´young people´ who think it´s ´cool´ or ´hip´ to carry a gun? Maybe you ought to focus your attention on them.
By the way, how´s that gun control thingy working out for you in Chicago...?

"Gun Owners Should ´Cower´ in Shame Like Smokers"
Why?
The right to keep and bear arms is, and always has been, the mark of a free person.
The act of bearing arms is the assertion of that right for all to see.
To lay down the arms in any situation is an act of submission.
To surrender the arms is to surrender the last vestige of one´s belief in freedom.

In terms of youth in the inner cities, Holder has a point. Yes, we would all be better off if kids in the slums didn´t look up to guys with guns (who are using them for criminal activity).
The problem is: how do you differentiate this type of gun ownership from those who own a gun for hunting, recreation, or self-defense?
Gun rights advocates certainly don´t want to hold up the 18 year old who just robbed a liquor store in the ghetto as an example of proud gun ownership.

As a teacher in a public high school with a 78 percent hispanic "student" body, it is my experience, generally speaking, that the kids who think "guns are cool" are victims´ class prototype obama supporters, who have a sense of entitlement, who come from families connected to the social services lifeline. What´s more these young people come from families who don´t place a high value on education and specialize in a soaring teenaged pregnancy rate. The final insult is that they operate somewhere between no loyalty to USA and resentment of USA. In this group, independent thinkers are very rare. The norm is a brainwashed dependable democrat voter for life who wants to tax the rich.

What does Holder know about shame? He, who has advance well beyond his intelligence or capabiities bcause of AA He, who implemented Bill Clinton´s pardons for $$ program, and obtaind pardons for Mark Rich, FARC, and others. He, who failedto honor his oat of office in upholding the Constitution by dropping charges againt the NewBlack Panher thugs. He, who ran the Fast and Furious gunrunning operation, and lied under direct Congrssional testimony, and used Executive Privelege as a cover-up. He, who maaged the Justic Dept´s program to use the Voting Rights Law to subvert voting districts and encouraged illegal and fraudulen voters. He, who picks and chooses whic laws he will support and defend, and chooses not to defend DOMA, immigration laws, election laws. He, who has become a muli-millionaire while in public service. The true shame is tht such an incompetent, deceitful, duplicitous, corrupt empty suit can occupy the ofice of Attorney General.

Every time I light a cigarette I am blowing freedom in the face of the social engineers and communists. Every time I holster my revolver and go out I am doing the same. My only shame is at those who have let this formerly free country become what it is today. Maybe that is about to change. More and more people are tired of caving. The drums are beating louder and louder. Meanwhile, if you watch the comment sections on various web sites the useful idiots are still snickering. I guess they never heard of Pandora´s Box.

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

But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration?

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?”

They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.

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.
