  • Muslim terrorists made a political point. It wasn’t a workplace violence or a lone wolf action.

    Unarmed soldiers? 20 minutes police response time? Unarmed citizens who could only hopelessly watch the murder, because it is ILLEGAL in England to defend yourself or others?

    Those are all valid political points.

    Planned Parenthood’s defense of infanticide

    When Rep. Todd Akin made his outrageous comments about “legitimate rape” it was front page news — and rightly so. But when a representative of Planned Parenthood is caught on camera defending infanticide, it merits barely a mention in the mainstream media.

    Testifying against a Florida bill that would require abortionists to provide emergency medical care to an infant who survives an abortion, Planned Parenthood lobbyist Alisa LaPolt Snow was asked point blank: “If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?” She replied: “We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician.”

    Jaws in the committee room dropped. Asked again, she repeated her answer.

    Only after a firestorm erupted in the conservative media did Planned Parenthood issued a statement that in the “extremely unlikely and highly unusual” event that a baby were born alive it would “provide appropriate care to both the woman and the infant.” That is debatable, since a Planned Parenthood counselor has been caught on tape admitting that the organization leaves infants born alive after an abortion to die.

  • “The buck stops here” – Barack Obama

  • “So what part does he like? He likes going on the road, campaigning, visiting businesses like he does every couple days somewhere in Ohio or somewhere,” Matthews continued. “But what part does he like? He doesn’t like lobbying for the bills he cares about. He doesn’t like selling to the press. He doesn’t like giving orders or giving somebody the power to give orders. He doesn’t seem to like being an executive.”

    On Tuesday’s program, Matthews similarly called Obama “a ship with the engine off.”

  • Obama was, is, and will be just a low-level community organizer (i.e. agitator and revolutionary, typical follower of Leon Trotsky’s “Theory of Permanent Revolution”). He has zero real-life experience and organizational skills, and it shows every time.

    Btw, according to the Theory of Permanent Revolution: After the old establishment is overturned, former revolutionaries establish new government, it becomes corrupt and bureaucratic, and people need another revolution to get rid of the establishment once again. And so on, and so forth, forever and ever, hence “Permanent Revolution”.

    President Obama “obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch,” Chris Matthews said tonight.

    Yes, you read that right: The MSNBC host who in 2008 felt a “thrill going up my leg” after hearing Obama speak has grown disenchanted. Tonight’s episode of Hardball saw Matthews delivering a rare, unforgiving grilling of the president as severe as anything that might appear on Fox News.
    “What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn’t like dealing with other politicians — that means his own cabinet, that means members of the congress, either party. He doesn’t particularly like the press…. He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft,” Matthews said.

  • I’ve read somewhere: for assassinations, KGB used candy-covered liquid bullets, which when shot into the victim’s mouth, would kill him and quickly dissolve inside. They also used icicles as untraceable assassination weapons…

    Hard chocolate bullet also can kill, if shot with enough velocity…

    Concealment Methods: For transportation, the weapon was transported hermetically sealed in a container, and inserted between sausages in a can which was itself hermetically sealed. It was suggested to Stashinskiy that he should carry the weapon to the site of the plannned assassination wrapped in a light newspaper, in RFE personnel. Atropine is a derivative of the deadly nightshade plant; it can cause paralysis of death if taken in sufficient quantity. The amount of poison in each salt shaker was said to be 2.36% by weight of the contents. White crystalline alkaloid is indistinguishable from salt. (Unclassified, from NYT, 17 December 1959.)

    In March 1955, Lisa Stein, an interviewer with RIAS, the American propaganda radio station in West Germany (“Radio in American Sector”), was fed candy containing the highly dangerous poison scopolamine. (Scopolamine is used in the so-called “twilight sleep.” Given in small doses it induces a kind of euphoria; in larger doses it is supposed to be a deadly poison.)

    Another weapon used is described as a noiseless gas pistol, powered by a 300-volt battery, which fires a lethal, odorless, unidentified gas. The gas acts in two or three seconds, and is effective up to 15 or 20 meters. The pistol has three buttons: one for arming, one for firing, and the third for recharging the battery. After 50 firings the battery may be rechar

  • “Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, ‘he that is not with me is against me’.” – George Orwell

    “Wise men are not pacifists; they are merely less likely to jump up and retaliate against their antagonizers. They know that needless antagonizers are virtually already insecure enough.” – Criss Jami

    “It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.” – Mahatma Gandhi

    “Those who hammer their guns into plows, will plow for those who do not.” – Thomas Jefferson

  • Can we sue that teacher somehow? I hate lawyers, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Sue them.

  • Liberty, I am not a professional historian, just an amateur.

    1. British troops definitely started to confiscate guns from colonists when they came, and Paul Revere was warning everybody about that.
    2. Ku-Klux-Klan definitely worked with local police which confiscated guns from blacks to make them defenseless.
    3. Yes, the main goal of NRA was to teach Yankees to shoot. Southern gentlemen were much better hunters and marksmen than New England types. But blacks did use rifles to defend against Ku-Klux-Klan, and NRA was a factor, I believe.

    But we agree in general, gun control is about elite and nobility controlling peasants and slaves. Free people are free to speak and are armed, while slaves must shut up and kneel before their master.
