NY State Sen. Ball: “We need to have a national conversation about nut control”. Regarding the Journal-News publication of gun owners personal info: “And, at the end of the day, we’re talking about a bunch of eggheads at a very liberal newspaper that they don’t go out of their way to show us where the sexual predators live. … They’re focusing on the people who [own guns] the right way, are following the law, paying their taxes, and they put them in the same category as a level three sexual predator. That is B.S.” In other words, it’s modern journ0lism.

David Gregory’s privilege. If Barack Obama had a son, he’d get the elitist’s pass on troublesome stuff, as does David Gregory.

“We had no idea how to handle them without offending our agonised liberal consciences. They saw this and exploited it ruthlessly.” Lefty UK writer Monbiot tries to reach out to some “victims” and finds out they really don’t give a crap about anything but swiping his stuff. “…my anarchist beliefs battled my bourgeois instincts, and lost.” Re-distribute OPM but not mine, eh?

California man sues Ford on C-MAX Hybrid EPA mileage claim. After “discovering the vehicle does not achieve 47 mpg fuel economy in all driving conditions.” Just like every other vehicle ever made. Duh. BTW, the law firm that filed the suit is a deep-pockets Democrat contributor. Everything is political in the Age of Hopeless Change.

Is Hate A Liberal Value? “A 20-year-old lunatic stole some guns and killed people. Who’s to blame? According to a lot of our supposedly rational and tolerant opinion leaders, it’s the NRA, a civil-rights organization whose only crime was to oppose laws banning guns. (Ironically, it wasn’t even successful in Connecticut, which has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.)” It’s been obvious for years they’re not rational and tolerant, at least when it comes to people who disagree with them. So the answer is definitely “Yes.”

Taxpayers aren’t stationary targets: Raising tax rates in a struggling economy will help assure that the economy keeps struggling. Yeah, but to politicians it’s not about results, it’s about throwing red meat to the hungry leftist wolverines in order to retain popularity and power. Consider this: “It’s far easier to join the witch hunt than to explain the solar eclipse to a bunch of raving, fear-stricken maniacs.”

Sieg heil, baby! Professor advocates death penalty for “global warming deniers”. “In this article I am going to suggest that the death penalty is an appropriate punishment for influential GW deniers. But before coming to this surprising conclusion, please allow me to explain where I am coming from.” We know where you’re coming from and we’d suggest you go back there, fascist SOB.

The dirty secret: government is simply unaffordable. “Any political leader prepared to deceive the electorate into believing that government spending, and the vast system of services that it provides, can go on as before – or that they will be able to resume as soon as this momentary emergency is over – was propelled into office virtually by acclamation.” Telling the pipple what they wanna hear is a winning political strategy, but it doesn’t pay the bills. Unfortunately, the majority will only figure that out when it’s too late. Until then, gimme some free sh-t….

Delta Air gets 22,000 applications for 300 attendant jobs. Unexpectedly.

Newspaper publishes map of gun permit holders in Westchester & Rockland (NY) counties. Yeah, that will be helpful. These a**holes can’t be bothered to report on what Obama is doing but have the time to meddle in the affairs of private citizens who aren’t bothering anybody. Ooooh, but the public has a “right to know” and the media has a right to bl–. Update: turnabout is fair play – a blogger has put out the newspaper publisher’s and reporter’s personal info on their web site: http://christopherfountain.wordpress.com/2012/12/24/sauce-for-the-goose/

We’ve Been ZIRPed: The perils of the zero interest rate policy. “…talk in hushed tones to Wall Street hedge funds, and they may explain the dollar carry trade, the one where you borrow or even short U.S. dollars and buy currencies, bonds, and stocks in higher yielding, emerging market countries​—​yes, the Fed is stimulating, but in places like India, South Africa, and Brazil.” We live in the Age of Zero: zeros in the White House and Congress, zero interest rates, zero growth, zero improvement, zero other ideas… Zero.

Grandma Got Indefinitely Detained (A Very TSA Christmas). Next time, take the train… at least until they start screwing with those, too. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or whatever, dude.

Egypt constitutional vote: “Things are definitely worse than under the old regime.” Change they don’t believe in. Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss.

Now he tells us: Mitt Romney’s son Tagg told the Boston Glob that his father didn’t really want to be president that much. Well, that’s just great. Just f—ing great.

Greg Gutfeld calls out NYT’s op ed Adolph Reed Jr. for being a racist. “…[new SC senator Tim] Scott is staunchly anti-tax, anti-union and anti-abortion so I guess ‘Adolf’ thinks all blacks are hot for high taxes, unions and abortions.” Well, yeah, that’s why Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas, etc, aren’t black. Duh.

NRA press conference makes journ0lists go ballistic. Pardon our pun, but the sound of sh*theads exploding always puts us in a good mood.

Obama’s hypocrisy problem on guns. “Up until all of these people in political office disband their police forces, their Secret Service details, throw down their own arms, armored cars, body armor and other defensive means of interdicting assault they have nothing – not even a moral argument – behind them in their demand that you disarm and become an intentional victim…” Well, to be fair, Obama’s no more hypocritical on guns than he is on everything else. That’s the real problem.

“Are you guys incompetent or what?” Not only incompetent but stupid, greedy, self-serving, useless and lazy. Hack congressfraud tries parading the usual BS talking points but CNBC’s Bartiromo is not buying. Listen for the burst of applause from the stage crew at the 3:00 mark.

President Pac-man. Centralized governments “solve” crises by creating new problems which eventually become crises demanding solutions – lather, rinse, repeat. The Law of Diminshing Returns says at some point an insoluable crisis is met and the system collapses into more manageable structures. “The conflictng signals of the last few months suggest that something resembling this may be happening.”

Time: Obama appealed to low-information voters by losing first debate to Romney. “The Obama campaign discovered that these people who say they’re not interested in politics who do not like the Republicans who do not like the Democrats, who do not like Washington, you know what they do like? They like Barack Obama because they sense something about him that he’s not really a part of it. So even that first debate, which we all thought was a debacle, a lot of those people thought ‘Well, I liked that because he’s not playing that game. He’s not playing gotcha. He’s not saying nasty things.'” The Gilligans of the world elected one of their own. Yikes.

GM to buy back stake from Treasury; government may lose billions. The sale will mean “Treasury has recovered to $28.6 billion of the $50 billion bailout GM received. With $20.9 billion left from the original bailout, the government would have to sell its remaining shares at an average price of $69.72 to break even.” Buy high, sell low: hand out billions in OPM to your cronies and win re-election. What’s not to like?

Flashback: When Piers Morgan was fired from the [UK] Daily Mirror. “CNN’s main man in prime time, Piers Morgan, has responded to the massacre in Newtown, CT with his usual restraint: He called a guest ‘dangerous’ and ‘incredibly stupid’ during Tuesday’s night’s show, because the man defended the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. The term ‘incredibly stupid’ might be an appropriate label for Mr. Morgan to wear around his neck. As editor if the Daily Mirror in 2004, he was fired when his newspaper published photos that purported to show British troops abusing al Qaeda terrorists. The photos turned out to be obvious fakes.” Here’s CNN’s resident 2nd Amendment scholar and American history expert at work on his “show”:

What if nothing or nobody is to blame for Adam Lanza? Guns, video games, autism or authorities? “What if there is nobody or nothing to blame for Adam Lanza’s heinous acts? Other than Lanza, of course.” Well, that just makes it all the more easier for the Democrat-media complex to blame whoever they wish.

Independent report: “systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies” at State led to Benghazi deaths. “Systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State Department (the “Department”) resulted in a Special Mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place.” Mistakes were made, fingers were pointed, bucks kept riding past their stops, Barack’s still awesome, Hillary in 2016, now SHUT UP.

“Fast and Furious” gun found at site where Mexican beauty queen killed. “CBS News learned the Romanian AK-47-type WASR-10 rifle found near her body was purchased by Uriel Patino at an Arizona gun shop in 2010. Patino is a suspect who allegedly purchased 700 guns while under the ATF’s watch.” Hypothetical question: if an FnF gun is ever involved in a US mass-shooting, would the media report that or stick their heads up their asses like they did in Benghazi?
