Continuing to emerge despite the shallow and misleading mainstream media coverage, are facts that implicate more federal government agencies and offices. The Obama administration officials are not exactly lining up to say, “I knew!” ”So did I!” Nevertheless, as Say Uncle observes (“Gunwalker, One step closer to the oval office, July 29, 2011, citing Mike McDaniel writing for PajamasMedia), those high in the administration who had knowledge of Fast and Furious are being identified in growing numbers. The knowledge was broader than first made known to us and that knowledge is now revealed to have reached The White House.
But, even as the scandal as conceptualized by the mainstream media grows in its dimensions, the MSM keep it limited in concept to the “ineptitude” factor. This ineptitude spin is designed to keep the public who are listening from understanding how deep the plot went. The most foul—and perhaps unconstitutionally illegal—aspects remain largely ignored. That is why I comment here. (more…)

Computer modeling is what the Idiocracy touts as climate science. It helps Ph.D. candidates pass the hours and qualifies as hypothesis exploration but it is not research and no valid conclusions may be drawn from it. Here is why. I learned better in high school.

Liberal, German Der Spiegel’s Euro-socialists add their complaints and insults against Americans who actually want to control spending.
We must be on the right track, insisting on spending cuts and no tax increases. The notion that government power could be limited drives them berserk.

Start from the premise that national defense is a lawful, constitutional function of the federal government, if not its prime function. Next, assume that a federal government failing to accomplish that duty is failing in one of its main reasons for our creating it in the first place. Here is an example of what happens when other nations detect even a hint of fracture in our national courage. (more…)

That name is MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer. Contessa, you talk really fast, and try to sound smart, but your failed cross-examination of Congressman Brooks reveals your continued reliance on the failed philosophy, and the trail of failed economists, financial and political leaders who have brought us to the brink. Appealing to the methods and “experts” of the past is worthy of only our guffaws. You are broadcasting that very definition of insanity: repeatedly doing what you have already seen does not work.
But, it was fun to see Congressman Brooks smack you down. For your blind adherence to whatever the tax and spend Washingtonians say, you made the Idiocracy Report.
(Psst, Contessa, it does not seem that all of the fancy economics degrees have served we-the-people too well, now does it? If it missed your notice, the solution to our economic woes escapes most of Washington, all of the Democrat Party, and dunderhead MSNBC drones. American welfare socialism has pulled the plug on economic success, and it drains away the reservoir of labor, prosperity, and employment opportunity. Hey, how about if we do something different, like force the government to spend within budgeted constraints? Disband bureaucracies that stifle business? Repeal the income tax that kills off more new small businesses each year than anything else? Or, at least, just no more taxes, and cut spending?

Recently, I blogged about my state’s Republican Party legislators having to form a gun rights task force, not to defend against the leftist opposition, but to move their own party to action! To the frustration of muddled, middle-of-the-road Republicans, gun nuts—and the Tea Party—just won’t shut up squawking about their gun issues, when we have education, finances, healthcare, highways, and all of these other “important” issues to get to work on. Those Republicans may think—but not say:
Why do all of these gun nuts fixate on their single, irascible, fringe issue? Get over guns!
We have more important things to talk about.
Rather than assuming that our brains have been impaired by too much lead in the air, I would like for these politicians to consider for a moment that, just perhaps, our insistence on guns everywhere is rationally based on a well-defined worldview. Here is why “guns” are not just some political, irritating sideshow. (more…)

Lying gun-controllers, like Paul Helmke lamenting publicly on my own local radio talk show last Sunday morning, complain incessantly about the inability to get “reasonable” gun control measures passed. We–the people who read the Second Amendment and claim the right–just won’t consider “reasonable” restrictions, it seems. Enter, Otis Rolley, running for mayor of Baltimore. (more…)

After my first cup of coffee, today’s Knoxville News-Sentinel headline caught my eye, and made my day. Solidly conservative legislators who are advocates of the right to keep and bear arms are not lying down. We finally—after more than 150 years—wrested the legislature from Democrat control. The the state Republican party faltered, forgot who put them back into power, and weaseled. But, our General Assembly does have good, trustworthy, solid members and they are not putting up with it. To be plain, the members have taken a lot of heat for thumbing the legislative nose at gun rights advocates—the voters who put them there.
This is Tennessee specific, but what is happening has application to your state, too.
The state GOP created a gun rights initiative coalition, a task force.
The Democrat reaction? We used to have conservative Democrats in this state. Now, if you are conservative, if you support the right to keep and bear arms, you have no home in the state Democrat Party. Your party’s participation in a pro-gun initiative is to criticize that it is “a task force to study how more guns can be put in bars, schools, and workplaces.”
