Blood to run in the streets.

I am shocked to learn that a federal appeals court has transformed bucolic Washington D.C. into the Anbar province of the West. Yep, that is right, they ruled that some ruthless peasant is wronged by the city disallowing his use of highly viscious firearms. Our peaceful shrine of freedom will now surely be wracked with spasms of gun violence, illegal guns, as well as the drugs, crime, and broken homes that evil guns create. Yep, carnage.

We keep this up and pretty soon the power hungry will have to consider the deterrent effect of a free populace as they go about their daily D.C. business of eroding our freedoms and ignoring their oathes. Can't be having that now can we?

an Inconvenient Truth to those in power yes, but to quote the majority opinion that over-ruled the ban " activities protected by the Second Amendment “are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual’s enjoyment of the right contingent” on enrollment in a militia." That's right most ethical Congress in history, we are all the militia simply because we exist. That 2nd amendment is to protect us from you. Read the Constitution that you work for please.

May future decisions build upon this one.

Pat Robertson was right!

There, I said it. I hate to agree with anything that freaking lunatic utters, but he had a point last year. Our country needs to save itself a lot of future trouble and BUMP OFF HUGO CHAVEZ NOW!

One fella interviewed in the story almost gets it:
'Outside the Spanish Embassy, dozens line up with documents in hand. Many plan trips for tourism or study, but Henry Krakower is thinking darker thoughts. He wants a passport for his 10-year-old son in case they need to leave for good.

"I don't really know what all the coming changes are, but I don't think it's the best idea to give all the power to a single person for him to decide on my behalf," says Krakower, the son of a Polish concentration camp survivor who found a haven in Venezuela after World War II.'


Edit: Change "in case they need to leave for good." to we are leaving this hellhole right now.

Change the rest to read: I don't really know what all the coming changes are, but they ain't gonna be good. One concentration camp is enough for this family. Besides if this "revolution" fails it will naturally be my fault, I'm Jewish.

Hmm, "mother law" , "Maximum Revolution", "power to the people", "Nothing stops the revolution!" Sounds great huh?

Inconvenient Truth? Yep, I agree with Mr. 700 and that fact alone gives me gas.

Tyranny of the Majority? Yep, a lot of folks in Venezuela voted for this guy or helped stuff ballot boxes for him. It looks like they have a tyrant for life, so the majority screwed themselves pretty good here. Besides, even if Chavez doesn't have majority support(probable even though the linked article makes it sound like he does *journalattio*) he has a majority of the people with guns. America should remember that as we head to the polls to elect a socialist in '08.

Afghans won't spray poppy fields

Afghanistan does not want to chemically eradicate its poppy crop. Hmmm? well, why should they want to? Would you voluntarily take 1/3 of your current pay to make some foreign gov't happy? Maybe the American government needs to accept the inconvenient truth that not everyone shares our puritanical values. Maybe we should stop forcing our values on others. How hard is it? Buy every damn bit of poppy resin in the country, every bit. If the free market for legal opiates cannot use the crop then just dump it at sea. Stop eradicating the plants, encourage small farmers to grow opium poppies. Why empower the Taliban by allowing them to profit from illicit trade abroad?

Boo Freakin' hoo

Seems that Sunni Iraqis are upset that Saddam's brother's head popped off. Gruesome yes, and yes Saddam's hanging was botched too, but it couldn't have happened to a nicer guys. Besides, where exactly was all this outrage when these same folks who are mad now were literally dancing in the streets over videos of infidels getting beheaded on purpose? I guess if these newly outraged had any morals or introspective qualities they would conclude that either what was good for the goose is good for the gander....or...more hopefully they could make the moral distinction between executing a murderous tyrant and glorifying the unwarranted killing of innocent ordinary people. I guess that little bit of self-awareness would be way too inconvenient for them to grasp, so let's stick to situat...er sectarian ethics.
