There is hope, America.

Update to come ... I have a thought on this.

PROMISED UPDATE - 6/30/2010 - Look at the title of the piece: "Justices extend gun owner rights nationwide".

Talk about clueless. Supreme Court justices have no power to "extend gun owner rights". These rights are extended to us by GOD HIMSELF and are guaranteed by the Constitution. The justices' job is to merely read that document and repeat what it says, period.

Nothing else to say really. This racist asshole didn't deserve a eulogy.

Smart thing to do will be to bury him face down so he can see where he's going.

Michelle Malkin has a couple of posts on this moron who claims that Arizona is "a ways removed from the border". It's a wonder we aren't more effectively creaming these people given the level of knowledge they possess (or lack thereof).

AZ Senator Kyl's letter, for our own reference (h/t Michelle):

Again, we ask Sage's immortal question:

Can America be saved from stupid people?

Back in January of 2006, I predicted that Al Franken(stein) would run for Senate, even though he swore he wouldn't. Of course, I was right. I was also right on another prediction that I made the same day ...

Frankenstein's so loony that if the good people of Minnesota aren't already smart enough to keep him out of office, we'll have a whole lot to laugh at coming from the Senate floor.

Over at RWN, Brian Garst is reporting on Frankenstein's hilarious stupidity. Feast your eyes on this quote ...

Originalism isn't a pillar of our constitutional history. It's a talking point.

How many positions do your eyes wind up in while you are laughing at this one? Mine wound up pointing straight back into my skull at least once or twice. Read it out loud and listen to what this moron is saying ...

The intent of the Founding Fathers (who wrote the Constitution) is not a pillar of our Constitutional history.

Any American not completely insulted by this statement is a fool at best. At worst he is a traitor. The day the Founding Fathers intent becomes a "talking point" is the day we all wind up in the foxhole with Sage.

I hope he's got the ammo ready. Franken will be my first target.

When I first read Warner's work some time ago, I assumed that he was just another liberal Republican parroting the opinions of John Hawkins. After all, why would Hawk put opinions that far out of sync with him on his blog?

Well, as it turns out, Huston is much closer to an appropriate voice for Tea Party America than Hawkins will ever be, and Hawk does deserve some credit for putting Warner's opinions out there. In his latest, Warner does a nice little piece on illegal gun laws in Chicago. Unfortunately, like many of us who wish to uphold the Constitution, Warner winds up missing the point. I set him straight in my comment (quoted here):

Whether crime is up or down is IRRELEVANT.

Whether homicide is up or down is IRRELEVANT.

These laws aren't bans on guns per se, they are bans on self-defense in general. The Second Amendment protects this important right, and by creating illegal laws banning self-defense (and in the same act, guns), the government becomes the very criminal it pretends to be protecting the people from.

Sadly, people have a problem letting the Constitution stand for itself. As long as the Constitution guarantees the people the right to keep and bear arms, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER whether crime is up or down as a result of some stupid law that got passed illegally. The law is still illegal, and the people have the right (and in this case the responsibility) to defy it, period.

If we are to get back to a Constitutional government, it is absolutely IMPERATIVE that the Constitution be respected as the supreme law of the land. Trying to justify or nuke a law that the Constitution disallows on any other basis is nothing but pure distraction from the fact that the law is itself illegal. The Constitution must stand alone as the justification for whatever position one takes. Let's have our arguments on that basis, please, and no other.

So Friday night, my daughter comes up to me and has me close my eyes.

I open them, and this really cool shirt is in front of my face. I had forgotten that she would be on a camping trip this weekend, but when I heard the words "Happy Fathers Day" escape her lips, I remembered immediately. Then, of course, the most wonderful Daddy's Girl hug you could possibly imagine.

My other daughter will be around today, so I'll see what she has up her sleeve ... possible update later!

Happy Fathers Day to all you other dads out there!

I just haven't been motivated to the blog these days. Personal reasons.

Here's an open thread. Maybe you guys can throw some things in here to get me going ...

Never mind the First Amendment. After all, none of those God-given rights ever meant anything to the thugs running the show in Washington. Now the FTC has published its screed, "Potential Policy Recommendations to Support the Reinvention of Journalism." Michelle has hit this one out.

Her personal opinion on the matter sums it up pretty nicely:

The worst enemy of socialism is the empowered individual. And that empowerment, comrades, comes from the unabated access to true and untainted information.

No wonder she's only a commentator on Fox ...

Wakepedia posted this week the "obligatory" post on Elena Kagan.

I couldn't have put this shit better myself.

Go read it ... now.
