The Snark of the Day from Gayle Trotter:
“Young women are speaking out as to why AR-15 weapons are their weapon of choice, […] The guns are accurate. They have good handling. They’re light. They’re easy for women to hold. And most importantly, their appearance. An assault weapon in the hands of a young woman defending her babies in her home becomes a defense weapon. And the peace of mind that a woman has as she’s facing three, four, five violent attackers, intruders in her home with her children screaming in the background — the peace of mind that she has knowing that she has a scary-looking gun gives her more courage when she’s fighting hardened violent criminals.”

The Strutting Delaware Blue Hen, Joe Biden thinks a double barrel shotgun will suffice for self-defense. I say, Ms Trotter makes a better case.

A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. In the fourth quarter of last year, the economy shrank, from Investors Business Daily:
Obamanomics: The economy shrank last quarter, the deficit topped $1 trillion last year, U.S. debt shot up $5 trillion in the past four, and joblessness is at 7.8%. Boy, President Obama sure inherited an economic mess, didn’t he?
[…]
Now with Obama’s huge tax hikes kicking in, his regulators once again running amok, ObamaCare’s storm clouds looming ever closer, and deficits expected to top $1 trillion for the fifth year, why should anyone be surprised if the economy underperforms again in 2013?
The economy shrank before the largest tax increase in our history was imposed by the new year’s tax increases.
Dumbo, a/k/a President Fifty Seven States, a/k/a Dim Won, b/k/a President Barack Obama has broken the nation’s economy. He now owns it.
You can not simply be for or against Nature. Everything you do, or do not do, helps some species and harms others. That is to say, that every action or inaction produces both winners and losers, from Daniel Clark, ABC News:
Cats are responsible for the deaths of 1.4 to 3.7 billion birds and 6.9 to 20.7 billion mammals every year, according to research conducted by the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
You can either be pro-bird or pro-cat. Take your pick
A few of the comments by Mark Mattioli, father of 6 year-old Sandy Hook victim James Mattioli:
“
The problem is not gun laws, the problem is a lack of civility.”
“I want responsible legislation. It needs to be simple and it needs to be enforced. We need much stricter enforcement. I believe in a few simple gun laws. I think we have more than enough on the books. We should hold people individually accountable for their actions.”
“I don’t think the gun laws are protecting the people. Let alone the 500 who perished last year in [Chicago]. What have those gun laws done to make Chicago a safer city?
“Criminals by definition break the law. What we experienced in Sandy Hook, did they break the law? Is one more law… I don’t care if you named it ‘James’ Law’ I don’t want it. I think we have more than enough [laws] on the books. We should hold people individually accountable for their actions and we should enforce laws appropriately.”
I’ll bet you’ve never seen these comments before. Certainly, you haven’t seen them in the mainstream media. It runs afoul of the leftist mantra on guns. So it’ll never see the light of day.
Hoplophobes, don’t mere live in fear of the Second Amendment. They fear that you might live. Dianne Feinstein, and Andrew “Mario, Jr.” Cuomo, don’t believe that anybody needs a standard capacity magazine. Joe Biden thinks a shotgun will suffice for self-defense. On the other hand, Big Ss, b/k/a Janet Napolitano thinks her folks need an M-16 style machine gun with a large capacity magazine, from Katie Wedell, WHIO-TV
FAIRBORN One man was killed and another shot in the leg when they, along with three others, allegedly participated in a home invasion Monday evening where the residents fought back
Two home owners, one gun and five perps, who happen to look like Obama’s sons, are not going to stop a five man mob with only two shots from a Biden approved shotgun, or with a Mario approved gun with mere seven rounds, not unless your gun in a 1911 and you are Annie Oakley. Score one for Big Sis.
Need I remind you that is not the job of the police to protect your life, rather merely to investigate your murder.

Libtards like Dianne Feinstein,, Michael Bloomberg and Andrew “Mario Jr.” Cuomo, think is criminal for a non-government employee to possess a semi-automatic weapon,. The party line advice from the Strutting Delaware Blue Hen on personal defense, from Red Alert Politics:
Joe Biden is all about gun control these days — but that doesn’t mean he’s against using them to protect oneself in a natural disaster situation.
“You want to keep people away in an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells,” he said on Thursday.
The Vice President participated in a PBS “Fireside Hangout” about gun safety, and one questioner asked about using assault weapons as protection during “the big earthquake” or a natural disaster.
“Guess what, a shotgun will keep you a lot safer — a double-barreled shotgun — than an assault weapon in somebody’s hands who doesn’t know how to use it, even one who does know how to use it,” the VP said. You know. It’s harder to use an assault weapon to hit something than it is a shotgun.”
Big Sis, b/k/a Janet Napolitano has a rather different view, from Hammer of Truth:
The Department of Homeland Security is currently soliciting RFP’s to purchase 7,000 “personal defense” weapons, also known as “assault weapons” when owned by civilians. From Radio Vice Online:
Biden says all you need for personal defense is a shotgun. On the other hand, Napolitano wants bo buy seven thousand machine guns, for her civilian work force. Whom do you believe?
:Addendum: Reax, Phineas, Sister Toldjah:
Let’s keep this straight, shall we? When you want an AR-15 for home defense, you’re a dangerous, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, Bible and Constitution (and wife) beating radical who finds his manhood enhanced by getting your hands on an “assault weapon.” And should you want a magazine that holds ten or more rounds… You’re just fantasizing about shooting up a mall, aren’t you?
But, when the DHS wants its agents to have similar weapons… Those aren’t “assault weapons,” silly! Those are for “personal defense!” And, unlike you, they really do need high-capacity magazines! Ten rounds? Bah! Let’s go for 30! And the option for full auto-fire!
Dianne Feinstein wages her lonely war against ugly guns, from Jeremy Herb,Hill
Feinstein said Sunday that the Newtown, Conn. shootings was an “epiphany” for her, and that the country has reached the point where “enough is enough.”
She accused the National Rifle Association (NRA) of being “an institution of gun manufacturers” and said they their tactics had targeted lawmakers eager for compromise
Which have little to do any actual homicide, from Selwyn Duke, American Thinker:
AR-15-class weapons are used in less than two percent of all gun crimes, and legally owned ones in approximately zero percent of all gun crimes
Mean while in Rahm Emanuel’s People’s Republic of Chicago, the killing orgy continues, from Adam Sege, Dawn Rhodes and Rosemary Regina Sobol, Chicago Tribune:
Four shootings — two of them double homicides — and a stabbing left 7 people dead Saturday, authorities said.
[…]
No one has been arrested
Feinstein wants to ban ugly guns, for no apparent reason. I suggest we ban ugly senators.

Amen.
This is a world view in which women — who are on average less strong than men and on average less big than men, making them less able to handle equipment and more likely to bleed out from wounds, and who also can’t pull it out to pee, have periods, and are vulnerable to an enemy’s deadly sexual assault — should be in the front lines at all times, even if that means lowering front line standards to the detriment of the troops and the military’s mission.
T?he Snark of the Day from Bookworm.
In the 1950s, most black kids grew up in two-parent households. Today, most black kids grow up fatherless as a result of liberal policies that destroyed the black family. Only half of black males graduate high school. Clearly, something is wrong in the black community, and it ain’t the white man’s fault.
The Snark of the Day from Lloyd Marcus, American Thinker.
Sure being President in stressful job. That is just part of the job. Those Three AM things do happen. However the mark of a true leader to to stay calm under pressure. What Mrs. Clinton does under pressure is to get bitchy. Video from RS McCain, Other McCain:
Mrs. Clinton does not perform well under stress.
The hoplophobes try to see yet more gun control in the PRC, People’s Republic of Chicago, and they get out gunned, video:
Hat tip: Kate, Small Dead Animals.
The Second Amendment was designed to allow the citizenry to fight a tyrannical and oppressive government, and who would know more about tyranny than a subject of the PRC? IF the hoplophobes can not sell gun control in Rahm Emanuel’s People’s Republic, they can not sell it any where.
Two Canadian among the al Qaeda terrorist responsible for the massacre in Algerian, from Fox News:
An Al Qaeda-linked militant group who took control of a Algerian gas plant during a four-day-long siege that left 38 hostages dead, including three Americans, did it with help from the inside, Algeria’s prime minister said Monday.
Abdelmalek Sellal, speaking to reporters at a news conference in Algiers, said the kidnappers came from Egypt, Canada, Mali, Niger, Mauritania and Tunisia. He said the group, wearing Algerian army uniforms, included a former driver from Niger who worked at the facility and a team of explosives experts who had memorized the layout of the sprawling complex and were ready to blow the place sky-high. He added that two Canadians were among them.
There is still no other country with whom I would prefer to share out three thousand mile common border than Canada. However to does show that immigration is not a synonym for assimilation, and there is little point for the former without the latter.

One from the archives, for Martin Luther King Day:
At one hand we profess to honor King, all the while we repudiate him. No wonder King is such blank to so many and why his hoiliday is little more than day without mail.

I really learned everything I ever needed to know about Islam on 9/11.
The Snark of the Day from: DMartyr, Jawa Report.
Ladies and gentlemen, radial Islam is at war with us:
ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — In a bloody finale, Algerian special forces stormed a natural gas complex in the Sahara desert on Saturday to end a standoff with Islamist extremists that left at least 23 hostages dead and killed all 32 militants involved, the Algerian government said
Say a prayer for the dead and pass the ammunition
