God created Man. Colonel Colt made men (and women) equal. Now the ilk of Andrew Cuomo, Piers Morgan and Barack Obama apparently want women raped, or better yet dead, from KTEN, Texhoma:

BRYAN COUNTY, OK–A day off for fall break was anything but relaxing for a 12-year old Bryan County girl, when an intruder broke into her home on Michael Avenue.

Deputies say, the girl was home alone when a man she’d never seen before, rang the front doorbell. They say when no one answered the door, the man went around to the back of the house and kicked a door open. That’s when authorities say, the girl grabbed a gun and hid in a bathroom closet.

“He had worked his way all the way through the house and into the bathroom. And from what we understand, he was turning the doorknob when she fired through the door.”

In Morgan’s UK,I’d expect Miss Doe would be in jail, had she shot any intruder.

Addendum:  Our hero has a name, and she is Kendra St. Clair, video:

Twelve-year-old girl shoots intruder. Neat trick.

Well done Miss St. Clair

Update title to reflex actual name of hero.

Lance Armstrong is a liar, but being a liar is not Armstrong’s problem. His problem is his last name.  If Armstrong were but named Clinton, he would be feted as hero, from Ace:

Lance Armstrong’s Lies Excorciated by Media That Still Maintains Dan Rather Maybe Told the Truth and Bill Clinton Didn’t Do Anything So Bad

There’s no doubt that Lance Armstrong lied a bit. But, as a thousand liberals told me in 1998, once you’ve committed to cheating you’ve also committed to lying about it, so what’s the big deal?

Armstrong cjeeat fpr wjat seven and nobody could figure it out.    If one student cheats, he has a problem.  If the whole class cheats, the teacher has a problem.   If the entire school cheats, the principle4 has a problem.

Addendum:   How do you tell when Clinton is lying?   When their lips move.   Armstrong may be a Clint9n yet, from
ABC News:

Lance Armstrong may have lied to Oprah Winfrey during his so-called confession Thursday night about his doping during the Tour de France bicycle race, investigators told ABC News today.

Armstrong haw strong future in politics.

Chris Christie is  just a fat version of John McCain without the war record or Colin Powell without the sun tan.  Christie has learned the McCain rule.  The surest way for a pretend  republican to get fawning media coverage is to attack a real republican or conservative, from Melissa Hayes, North Jersey:

Governor Christie called the National Rifle Association’s ad criticizing President Obama’s daughters’ security detail “reprehensible.”

“I think any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe,” he said.

Christie said Obama’s daughters have no say over whether they have a security detail, nor do his children.

“I’m a father who is a public figure, who has four children and my children had no choice realistically in what I decided to do with my career and what affect that has had on their lives,” Christie said at a State House news conference.

President Two Face, a/k/a President Fifty Seven State, b/k/a  Barack Obama, uses children as political props, and Christie has his back.  Obama thinks that his children deserve armed guards but y0ur children should be sentenced to a gun-free safety zones.  What say you?

snark2.jpgThe Snark of the Day, from James Taranto:

:Other People’s Children: The NRA accuses Obama of hypocrisy. He proceeds to prove their point.”If the president wants his critics to refrain from even indirectly referring to his daughters, he ought to stop exploiting ordinary people’s children in this manner.”

I note the anti gun dog and pony show yesterday.
I know further than none of the proposals the president put forward would actually have stopped Newtown from happening. So of course we must ask why he’s doing this.

I found particularly ominous the constant reference to its for the children. Obama’s breaking out of a 11 year olds letter demanding the guns be banned reminded me of a quote the perhaps will put this into a framework for you..

“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”

Those are the words of Adolf Hitler, in Mein Kamph. Page 405, if you happen to be using the 1943 printing, as I am here.

And so we see that Dear Leader takes his cues directly from one of the worst tyrants in world history. To my mind the first indication that the bit with children is being used as a prop is when this self same individual is a loud supporter of partial birth abortion. Let’s have no more confusion about the kind of person that we’re dealing with the White House right now, and his supporters.

Barack Obama,  a/k/a President Fifty Seven State, a/k/a President Two Face is a hypocrite and coward, video:

Hat tip video, William Jacobson, Legal Insurrection.

Ok, the White House approves suing children as props:

WASHINGTON (AP) – Braced for a fight, President Barack Obama on Wednesday unveiled the most sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence in two decades, pressing a reluctant Congress to pass universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.

[,,,]

The president was flanked by children who wrote him letters about gun violence in the weeks following the Newtown shooting. Families of those killed in the massacre, as well as survivors of the shooting, were also in the audience, along with law enforcement officers and congressional lawmakers.

“This is our first task as a society, keeping our children safe,” Obama said. “This is how we will be judged.”

That except when it does not approve of using children as props.

Jan 16 (Reuters) – The White House condemned as “repugnant and cowardly” an ad by the National Rifle Association that mentions President Barack Obama’s children as receiving armed Secret Service protection.

The ad comes as Obama unveils sweeping efforts to reduce gun violence that are for the most part opposed by the NRA, the nation’s leading gun rights group. The ad accused Obama of hypocrisy for having the Secret Service protect his children while opposing the NRA’s call for more armed guards in schools.

“Most Americans agree that a president’s children should not be used as pawns in a political fight. But to go so far as to make the safety of the president’s children the subject of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

The National Rifle Association is right. Obama does think his children are better than yours.

snark2.jpgDim witted president opens his mouth and exposes his ignorance:

Good to know the President is studying this issue [gun control] and hearing from all sides. Is it too much to ask to expect the President to know what he is banning before he bans it?

Obama Logic: Ask yourself; Why would Obama support armed uprisings in Libya, Egypt, and so on, and then ask why Civilians need “assault rifles” in his efforts to remove guns from his own country?? Hmmm?

Just how stupid is Senator Charles Schumer (D NY), from WHEC-TV, Rochester, NY:

Sen. Charles Schumer says retailers that sell assault weapons should stop offering them for purchase while Congress discusses gun regulation legislation.

Schumer on Sunday released a letter he sent to major retailers asking for a voluntary moratorium.

The New York Democrat says consumer demand for guns has gone up in the weeks since the December mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.

Schumer says Congress is debating the issue, and if measures get passed that limit these type of weapons, it won’t help if more of them have recently been sold.

President Barack Obama has made gun control a top priority. Vice President Joe Biden is expected to give him a comprehensive package of recommendations for curbing gun violence this week

Homicides my type of weapon, 2011, Federal Bureau of Investigation:

Total 12,664, Firearm 8,583, Handgun 6,220, Rifles 323, Shotguns 356, Knives 1,694, Blunt Instruments 496.

If Congress is really interested iu curbing violence, why the obsession with a minor cause of homicide death rifles? Why not focus more signficant problems like knives and hammers?

Eric Florack on January 13th, 2013

Just a thought here… Am I the only one having an issue with the armed guards being proposed for some schools, since the guards being proposed are representatives of Government? All this does is further the idea that the only ones who should have guns are the government, or the lackeys thereof.  I’d rather see private citizens from the district doing this duty.

Addendum:  (DavidL)    Security need not be provided by dedicated men, or even men, from December 13,   Unlike New York’s senior senator, the Jews in Israel are smark.

Protect the Second Amendment and sign the petition, White House:

we petition the obama administration to:

Eliminate armed guards for the President, Vice-President, and their families, and establish Gun Free Zones around them

Gun Free Zones are supposed to protect our children, and some politicians wish to strip us of our right to keep and bear arms. Those same politicians and their families are currently under the protection of armed Secret Service agents. If Gun Free Zones are sufficient protection for our children, then Gun Free Zones should be good enough for politicians.

I fully expect some more double talk from the administration.   But it ought to be amusing never the lesss.

Two law abiding citizens questioned by Portland police. Imagine the media outrage had these two been say same sex couple or looked like Obama’s brothers Evidently white heterosexual males have no rights the Portland police deem to recogniza:

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -Two men carrying assault rifles on their backs said they were simply exercising their Second Amendment right, but police said they scared plenty of people.

Calls started coming in to 911 dispatchers shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday. Callers said two men with guns strapped to their backs were walking through the area of Southeast Seventh Avenue and Spokane Street in Portland’s Sellwood neighborhood.

[…]

“Exercising my rights with a rifle to try to decrease the demonizing of peacefully exercising your rights in public,” one of the men told Fox 12. He said his name is Warren, but did not want to provide a last name.

Portland police identified the men as Warren Drouin and Steven Boyce.

Note he Portland police revealed the names of two law-abiding citizens. More proof the information about a citizens personal weapons is too important to trusted to the government.

Addendum: Nor shocking but ironic, While the Portland police hassle two law abiding citizens, the District of Columbia gives a free pass to the felon David Gregory, from William A. Jacobson, Legal Insurrection:

David Gregory will not be prosecuted

Gregory goes free “despite the clarity of the violation of this important law”

Just released by D.C. Attorney General there will be no prosecution of David Gregory despite a finding that there was a clear violation of the law

Even more reason not to trust the state.

Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association of America is made up of over 4 million moms and dads, daughters and sons, who are involved in the national conversation about how to prevent a tragedy like Newtown from ever happening again. We attended today’s White House meeting to discuss how to keep our children safe and were prepared to have a meaningful conversation about school safety, mental health issues, the marketing of violence to our kids and the collapse of federal prosecutions of violent criminals.

We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment. While claiming that no policy proposals would be “prejudged,” this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners – honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans. It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation’s most pressing problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen. Instead, we will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works – and what does not.

President Fifty Seven States evidently believes the Second Amendment applies to  him, but not to you.  With Fauxaquawa, nee Lying Lizzie Warren in the Senate, why not Chief Two-Face in the White House, from David Jackson, Useless Toady:

President Obama signed a law today granting lifetime Secret Service protection to former presidents and their wives.

If Two Face had any balls, he would both have vetoed the bill and issued an executive orders disarm the Secret Service and make the White House a “gun-free safety zone.”   However gun control is for the little people.

Does one John Cook, of Gawker,  actually like his family?   The only thing dumber than  living in your own self-created gun-free safety zone is telling the entire blogosphere that you and your family live in one.   Just because you are a hoplophobe, a person with an irrational fear of weapons, should not be an excuse to imperil the safety and security of your family, unless you are a liberal, from Robbie Cooper, Urban Grounds.

May the Lord have mercy on your soul Mr. Cook.
