We're the Only Ones Carded Enough

A former suburban Philadelphia police officer accused of punching a convenience store manager who asked for ID when he tried to buy chewing tobacco has been convicted of simple assault and harassment but acquitted of making terroristic threats. [More]
A split verdict and a split lip...

I think I may have figured out what happened. Someone who knew him saw him and said "Decker," and he did.

Hey, she's lucky he didn't charge her with resisting arrest and assault on a police officer.

What is it with all the big bad Only Ones beating up women? Do we need an Abatte Award or something?

And he says he shoots with the Secret Service!

Can this be far behind, to appeal to the Fudds among us?

The Spirit of Halloween

Rick Henderson, consignment owner of the store, says the boy was not acting strangely. He says a large banner advertised that it was a Halloween store. [More]
Don't "Only Ones" also have superior powers of observation...?

Is Banning Celebration of the Constitution on Constitution Day...

...Constitutional?

I wonder what would happen if they said the hell with paying a lawyer and just showed up--commemorating both the First and Second Amendments by exercising them?

Expansionist Desires

We lost because of the invasion and expansionist desires of our enemy...[Read]
Maybe this explains why Calderon is so hot on disarming us while the soft expansionist invasion continues.

No, I'm not suggesting his government--or those who vie for control of it--would do anything overtly beyond the small skirmishes we've seen. Yet. It's the covert stuff that we need to keep our eye on--especially the stuff where they're tag-teaming with our domestic enemy politicians.

Speaking of them, I see "Give 'em Infierno Harry" is having a DREAM that sounds more like a nightmare. See, you don't need to bring foreign troops on U.S. soil if those foreign troops are American troops...

Not to paint with too broad a brush, because I know there are many foreign born who have served the cause of defending the Republic with honor and distinction, some making the ultimate sacrifice, but we can't ignore the cynical manipulators behind this latest gambit--and what they stand to gain with their own expansionist desires.

We can't be afraid to speculate on what level of understanding those raised in more authoritarian regimes have for the concept of individual sovereignty, and whether or not such a group would be more or less likely to obey certain orders without considering that.

We're the Only Ones Staining Enough

“The actions of Matthew Morris are a stain on the honor and good name of every member of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office including me,” Mascara said. [More]
Sounds like that's not all it's a stain on...

A Self-Indulgent Subversive

I never did like Krauthammer, ever since he said this:
Passing a law like the assault weapons ban is a symbolic--purely symbolic--move. ... Its only real justification is not to reduce crime but to desensitize the public to the regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate confiscation.
The Cliffs of Insanity gives us more reasons to dismiss him for the neocon sterile queen bee that he is.

And don't get me started on Buckley. I ought to resurrect some stuff I did on that fraud some years back, but some of it is in hard copy files and I don't have time to look right now.

The Crazy 5 Percent

There is nothing you can do about the crazy 5 percent except ask the police to keep an eye on them during large public events, where they sometimes appear carrying machine guns just to make a political point about the Second Amendment. [More]
So, Gail Collins...name one "large public event" where that happened?

Are you a liar or just an incompetent "Authorized Journalist" tool? Do you even have any idea what I'm referring to?

It's not the "5%" you useful idiots need concern yourselves with.

Subtract two.

And congratulations on realizing there's nothing you can do about it.

A No-Brainer

But strictly as a health matter, getting rid of guns is a no-brainer. [More]
Here's the Braniac who asserts that.

If we test his gun-free hypothesis and postulate altercations determined by physical prowess, what do you think his chances would be if a member of the endangered group he champions decided to spatter his brains all over the sidewalk?

Can companies require employees to disarm on 'company business'?

As for Iron Mountain's HR bureaucrats, what is with these control freak martinets who think a paycheck gives them authority to dictate the life choices and freedoms their employees may exercise? [More]
