Lefty Blogger Josh Marshall: ‘We Really Do Want to Take Your Guns. Maybe Not All of Them. But a Lot of Them’
By Tom Johnson | October 10, 2015 | 12:22 PM EDT

*** begin quote ***

Marshall concluded, “Those of us who see the current situation as not just non-ideal but actually a sort of societal sickness need to start thinking way beyond things like closing the gun show loophole…In other words, yes, we really do want to take your guns. Maybe not all of them. But a lot of them.”

*** end quote ***

At least, he’s honest to admit that the Left wants to disarm “We, The Sheeple”.

Molon Labe.

Hope that works out well for whomever you send out.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

“…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” -Churchill, The Second World War, vol. 1, The Gathering Storm (London: Cassell, 1948, 272, on the British guarantee to Poland in Spring 1939.

I think that the “gun grabbers” misunderstand the temperament in flyover country.

Even in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk, gunowners ignored “Safe NY”. And, the State Gooferment backed down.

Argh!

Secession is the answer. And eternal vigilance about every over step.

RANT: A split-level passenger seat design?

Tuesday, October 13, 2015

http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2015/10/06/airbus-files-patent-for-split-level-passenger-seat-design/?intcmp=hpff

Airbus files patent for split-level passenger seat design
Published October 06, 2015
FoxNews.com

*** begin quote ***

Airplanes could get even more cramped with a new seat design from Airbus that has passengers seated on top of each other in a bi-level configuration.

Earlier this month, the global airline manufacturer filed a patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a split level seating design that could be used in businesses cabins on wide body aircraft, news.com.au reports.

In rows where passengers are normally seated six across, the middle rows would alternate between floor level and elevated seating to fit an additional two passengers per row. The raised seats would be accessible by a stair or ladder and would be able to fully recline above the passengers seated below.

*** end quote ***

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

I can’t image how you evacuate that plane in an emergency. Let alone board and “de-plane”.

And, if the passenger above you spills something or worse, then yuck?

Can you make it any MORE uncomfortable and cramped?

There’s a reason I hate to fly any more.

It used to be “fun”; now it’s like torture.

INTERESTING: A “woman” manipulates a “man”

Monday, October 12, 2015

2015-Oct-12

Laugh!

Today, I was having a bagel and coffee.

A man, “obviously” Grandpa, having a snack with a young female child Sophia about age 8 would be my guess.

He sits down and tells her to sit across from him. 

(Why I have no idea. Mistake number 1 — give an order that may not be obeyed.)

She sits two tables away.

After several interactions, he “compromises” half-way and sits at the table next to her. 

(Mistake number 2 — “compromise”. Shows the original order wasn’t important!)

After several more interactions, he sits at “her” table.

Laugh.

(Mistake number 3 — capitulation. Demonstrating this was a waste of time.)

Guess “women” learn “man – ipulation” early in life.

Argh!

TINFOILHAT: Did the Alcatraz escapees make it?

Monday, October 12, 2015

Relatives have ‘proof’ Alcatraz escapees are still alive
By Tim Donnelly
October 10, 2015 | 9:45am

*** begin quote ***

Alcatraz officials have long stated that the men drowned, maintaining the prison’s bragging rights of no escapees. But now, more than 50 years later, new leads are being presented by the Anglin family, who are cooperating with authorities for the first time.

They claim that not only did the brothers survive the escape, they were alive and well up through at least the mid-1970s — and may still be alive today.

The evidence is offered up by the Anglins’ nephews David, 48, and Ken Widner, 54, who are featured in “Alcatraz: Search for the Truth,” a History Channel special airing Monday. The evidence has pumped life into the cold case, and has investigators lining up new interviews and planning to search South America for signs of America’s most notorious escapees.

*** end quote ***

And, why would we believe the “Alcatraz officials”?

Like with murder cases, it’s very hard to convict without a body.

And, from time to time, we hear of folks who have disappeared completely.

Personally, without proof, all we have is assertions and presumptions.

GUNS: Disarmed and helpless is an irresponsible, suicidal choice

Published: 24 hours ago

*** begin quote ***

Welcome to the fundamentally transformed America, a heartbreaking embarrassment where rugged individualism, self-sufficiency and self-defense is scorned and condemned and, horror of horrors, outright forbidden for all practical purposes in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois and California and in gun-free zones across the land.

Welcome to the planet of the zombie apes flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

Luby’s cafeteria: gun-free zone. Columbine: gun-free zone. Virginia Tech: gun-free zone. Pearl, Mississippi: gun-free zone. New Jersey mall: gun-free zone. NW University: gun-free zone. Aurora, Colorado: gun-free zone. Pennsylvania Amish school: gun-free zone. Chicago: gun-free zone. NYC pizza parlor: gun-free zone. NYC McDonald’s: gun-free zone. L.A. McDonald’s: gun-free zone. Sandy Hook: gun-free zone. Maryland Navy Yard: gun-free zone. Arkansas recruitment center: gun-free zone. Fort Hood: gun-free zone. Paris, France: gun-free zone. Toronto, Canada: gun-free zone. Charleston church: gun-free zone. Chattanooga recruitment center: gun-free zone. Umpqua Community College: gun-free zone.

*** and ***

If you believe and know in your heart that your life is worth defending and you live in a state or city where it is illegal, join the NRA and fight with all you have to get your right to keep and bear arms back. If you don’t get this lifesaving right back, move to a state that does not infringe.

Do not vote for Democrats ever again, and educate everyone you know how they are destroying America. Vote Republican and send a message that we the people are in charge of our lives, and our American Dream is defined by the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments.

Disarmed and helpless is an irresponsible, suicidal choice that will get you killed. Defend yourself.

*** end quote ***

Having lived most of my life in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee and worked in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk, I’ve been “trained” to be unarmed. 

Luckily, I never was hurt. Harmed by crime several times. Mostly petty thefts from my car.

As I get older and, possibly a little wiser, I realize I was lucky. As big guy, a vet, and with some street smarts, trouble may have passed me by for easier pickings. Now as a poor old senior citizen on a fixed income, I’m probably a target. 

I want to defend myself so I can steal back all that “social security” that was stolen from me by the Gooferment.

I was pursuing my Conceal Carry license in Virginia when I was downsized. Now I realize it’s my Constitutional God-give right to carry.

One of my first projects in New Hampshire is to located a range, complete my training, and begin packing.

Government on Nutrition: Often Wrong, Seldom in Doubt
By WALTER OLSON

*** begin quote ***

Readers of this space will be familiar with the pattern. Previous advice from Washington about the supposed hazards of eggs and other cholesterol-laden foods, the advantages of replacing butter and other animal fats with trans fats, and the gains to be made from switching from regular to diet soda, have all had to be re-evaluated and sometimes reversed in later years. And yet some in the public health establishment — including a few who are quoted in today’s Post article— still aspire to use the power of government to coerce changes in citizens’ diet. They seem to imagine that with people like themselves in charge, next time will be different.

*** end quote ***

I can’t imagine any more UNRELIABLE source of dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) than the Gooferment.

Even when they are not deliberately LYING to us, they are often just wrong.

Look at any research and find out who’s paying or who’s profiting (i.e., Cui Bono) and that will determine the results.

That, and now days, unless there’s a profit or patent or copyright or some other angle, you’ll never hear about it.

There’s an internet meme about Salk not patenting the polio vaccine because he want to cure it globally.

Today, everyone would be laughing at him.

The whole definition of “non-profit” is a joke. The Salvation Army is a non-profit; the NFL is not.

Time to make the doughnuts and take back our country.

Secession.

Take the money away from them and see what happens.

POLITICAL: Jindal’s plan eliminates the corporate tax

BOBBY JINDAL UNVEILS TAX PLAN, WOULD ELIMINATE CORPORATE TAX
by ALEX SWOYER
7 Oct 2015
Washington, DC

*** begin quote ***

GOP presidential candidate Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal aims to eliminate the corporate tax, an issue he addressed as he unveiled his tax plan Wednesday afternoon on a call with reporters where Jindal argued his plan simplifies tax code.

Jindal’s tax plan only has three tax brackets – two percent, 10 percent and 25 percent.

“Most Americans will be in the 10 percent bracket,” he told reporters. He went on to explain that a couple making $150,000 is now in the 25 percent tax bracket, but under his plan would drop to the 10 percent bracket.

According to Jindal’s plan, individuals making less than $10,000 will be in the two percent bracket, those making more than $10,000 but less than $90,000 will be in the 10 percent bracket, and everyone else will be in the 25 percent bracket.

Those who are married have a slight shift in their brackets: Couples making under $20,000 a year will be in the two percent bracket, where as couples making between $20,001 and $180,000 will be in the 10 percent bracket. Lastly, couples making more than $180,000 will pay 25 percent in taxes.

Jindal said his plan “eliminates the estate tax – death tax, the marriage penalty and the gift tax, and the alternative minimum tax.”

“I think my plan is best,” he touted, referencing that other GOP candidates have revealed their tax plans.

He said his plan has three key differences from fellow Republican candidates.

“Most Republican plans brag about the fact that they allow as many as half of all Americans pay zero federal taxes. Jeb and Trump both have said that. I think that’s a mistake,” Jindal said. “I think everybody should pay at least something.”

“We’ve got to this point where too many Americans believe money just grows on trees in Washington,” he said.

We’re only asking two percent from the bottom bracket. I think that may be the most important two percent in the whole plan. It reestablishes the idea that in America everybody is expected to help row the boat. Some people may have a bigger ore, some may have a smaller ore, but you keep your ore in the water along with everybody else.

The second way Jindal’s plan differs from other Republicans is that it eliminates the corporate tax in America.

The U.S. has the highest corporate tax rate than any other developed countries. Jindal says this move will create jobs and end wealth incentives for companies investing outside this country.

“We need to be willing to be bold,” he said of eliminating the corporate tax rate.

We’ve done various analyses. We show that for example in a 10 year period the GDP would grow 14.4 percent on top of the current base growth projection rate with just my tax changes. We show that nearly six million jobs would be added to the economy, wages would grow by 8. 7 percent – just as an example of the positive outcomes from changing our taxes.

Jindal also says his plan is different because it “reduces the amount of money the federal government is going to be able to spend.”

*** end quote ***

Finally someone nails the corporate tax.

It’s stupid.

The product of Liberal Left non-economic thinking is just dumb.

“Corporations are merely tax collectors; not taxpayers. They merely pass their costs along.” Lawrence Alan “Larry” Kudlow is an American economist, television personality, and newspaper columnist. August 26, 2014 0830 on WMAL Mornings on the Mall Brian Wilson and Larry O’Connor

It’s one of the ways the Gooferment hides the true costs.

A business has only two choices — pass along its costs of which taxes is a big one OR go out of business.

Argh!

GUNS: Liberalism kills

Guns Don’t Kill People, Liberalism Does
By Trevor Thomas

*** begin quote ***

President Obama wants us to politicize gun deaths in America. I decided to take him up on his invitation.

I hope that no one is surprised that Obama took this opportunity again to attack guns, the gun industry, and those of us who are fans of the Second Amendment. This is what a community organizing career politician does. For liberals like Obama, virtually everything is political, or must be made so. Because political problems require political solutions, and thus, when something is politicized, those in favor of empowering and growing government get to do what they do best: give speeches, call for legislation, and attempt to stir up the electorate in their favor.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs” reminds me of Prohibition

Tuesday, October 6, 2015

HEALTH
Nearly 75 people reportedly overdose on laced heroin in 3-day span in Chicago
Published October 04, 2015FoxNews.com

*** begin quote ***

Nearly 75 people reportedly overdosed on dangerous narcotics, possibly heroin laced with painkiller fentanyl, in Chicago over a three-day span, according to city health and fire officials.

The Chicago Tribune, citing hospital officials, reported by Friday afternoon at least 14 people were rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago to be treated for possible heroin overdoses, and some patients still had needles in their arms.

*** and ***

”We suspect what is happening is the same thing that happened in 2006 when people were getting heroin that was cut with fentanyl, which is a very strong narcotic,” she told the newspaper. “That’s what we think is happening.”

The Drug Enforcement Administration and Chicago police are teaming up to try and find the source of the batches.

*** and ***

The last major outbreak of fentanyl-related deaths took place between 2005 and 2007. The outbreak killed more than 1,000 people across the country and dozens specifically in Chicago.

*** end quote ***

Doesn’t anyone remember their history lessons?

OK, anyone remember Robert Stack playing Elliott Ness in the Untouchables? Where during Prohibition, he had to track down a moonshiner who was making contaminated bathtub gin. That gin was causing folks to die or go blind!

Can’t you see the similarity here?

Argh!

Now imagine an American where drugs were “legal”. Let’s have a mental experiment.  The addiction rate would be at a historical norm — since back in the days when that Chinese emporer study the problem and couldn’t fix it then by killing addicts — of 10%. Walmart, Walgreens, RiteAid, and every drugstore would be selling “drugs”. Clean, pure, of know quantity and quality. And, of course, they would offer treatment alternatives. 

Also, since it would no longer be illegal or “dangerous”, children would find some other alternative to rebel. Dye their hair, pierce their bodies, and listing to bad music — oh wait they’ve done that through the decades already. (But it doesn’t kill them!)

Of course, currently “illegal” drugs would be cheap, so one could have a “habit” and hold down a job — which was common in late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Now let’s consider the poor Drug Lords, Cartels, and drug dealing gangs. Guess they’ll have to find other employment since Walmart can drive the profit out of anything.

And, all the money that the USA spends on prisons, courts, cops, DEA, FDA, BATF, etc. etc. can be redirected to treatment.

Wow, what different country this would be.

How many people would still be alive?

How many people would be better off?

“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” — attributed to Einstein

Time to end the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”!
