Obama Promises 2013 Gun-Grab Bill; Warns ‘There Will Be Resistance’

Posted on | December 30, 2012 | 40 Comments

Never let a crisis go to waste:

Recalling the shooting of 20 first graders as the worst day of his presidency, President Barack Obama on Sunday pledged to put his “full weight” behind a legislative package next year aimed at containing gun violence.
In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Obama voiced skepticism about proposals to place armed guards at schools in the aftermath of the Dec. 14 deadly assault at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. . . .
Obama said he intended to press the issue with the public. . . .
“Will there be resistance? Absolutely there will be resistance,” he said.
“The question then becomes whether we are actually shook up enough by what happened here that it does not just become another one of these routine episodes where it gets a lot of attention for a couple of weeks and then it drifts away. It certainly won’t feel like that to me. This is something that – you know, that was the worst day of my presidency. And it’s not something that I want to see repeated.”

 Does the phrase “cold dead hands” ring a bell?

UPDATE: Headlines from the Drudge Report:

Buyers flock to gun shows in VA…
‘It’s Never Been Like This’…

Obama: The Greatest Gun Salesman in American History!

UPDATE II: Welcome, Instapundit readers! Of course, we all remember that, during the 2008 campaign, Obama swore that he had no intention of imposing new gun control laws — right?

CNN’s Foreign Subversive Piers Morgan ‘Threatens’ to Leave U.S. Over Guns

Posted on | December 30, 2012 | 47 Comments

At the end of a long rambling anti-gun diatribe:

In conclusion, I can spare those Americans who want me deported a lot of effort by saying this: If you don’t change your gun laws to at least try to stop this relentless tidal wave of murderous carnage, then you don’t have to worry about deporting me.
Although I love the country as a second home and one that has treated me incredibly well, I would, as a concerned parent first — and latterly, of a one-year-old daughter who may attend an American elementary school like Sandy Hook in three years’ time — seriously consider deporting myself.

“As a concerned parent first . . .” By the way, in case you’re wondering: His real name is O’Meara, not Morgan. He divorced his first wife — the mother of his three older children — in 2008, and two years later married a British gossip columnist 11 years younger than him.

Sign the petition now to deport Piers Morgan.

Late Entry for ‘Worst Person of the Year’

Posted on | December 30, 2012 | 20 Comments

Meet the woman formerly known as “Jane Doe.” The week before Christmas, federal investigators circulated photos of the unknown woman, asking the public’s help in finding her.

Danish authorities had discovered a video, apparently uploaded to the Internet in November, in which the woman was shown “engaging in explicit sex with a four-to-five-year-old victim.”

It was believed the video had been produced in the U.S., and hours after the feds asked for help, they received a tip that led to an arrest:

Corrine Danielle Motley of Okaloosa County, Florida faces federal charges for the production and distribution of child pornography. Motley, 25, was arrested late [Dec. 19] by Northwest Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force members and Homeland Security Investigations special agents. . . .
Motley is being held without bond.

Millstone, neck, some assembly required.

Carlos Narvaez: Molesting Teenagers American Molesters Won’t Molest

Posted on | December 29, 2012 | 24 Comments

“Send me your tired, your poor, your horny criminals yearning to sneak into the bedrooms of 15-year-old girls . . .”

HOUSTON — A 21-year-old is behind bars accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl he met online. The young man reportedly snuck into the teen girl’s home and into her bedroom. . . .
“I walked in the room and turned on the light,” explained the girl’s mother. “He just stands up, and I’m like, oh my god, what are you doing here? He’s like, I’ve got to go. I’m like, no, you’re not going anywhere.”
She said she caught the 21-year-old in the act with her underage daughter. . . .
The young man, later identified as Carlos Narvaez, was booked into the Harris County Jail on a charge of sexual assault of a child. He’s being held on $35,000 bail. Records also indicate that he might not be a U.S. citizen.

Repeat after me: Diversity is our strength!

New York City Needs Subway Control

Posted on | December 29, 2012 | 13 Comments

Something must be done to stop the senseless killing:

A 31-year-old woman was arrested on Saturday and charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime in connection with the death of a man who was pushed onto the tracks of an elevated subway station in Queens and crushed by an oncoming train. The woman, Erika Menendez, selected her victim because she believed him to be a Muslim or a Hindu, according to Richard A. Brown, the Queens district attorney. . . .
The victim, Sunando Sen, was born in India and, according to a roommate, was raised Hindu. Mr. Sen “was allegedly shoved from behind and had no chance to defend himself,” Mr. Brown said. “Beyond that, the hateful remarks allegedly made by the defendant and which precipitated the defendant’s actions should never be tolerated by a civilized society.” . . .
The case was the second this month involving someone being pushed to death in a train station. In the first case, Ki-Suck Han, 58, of Elmhurst, Queens, died under the Q train at the 49th Street and Seventh Avenue station on Dec. 3. Naeem Davis, 30, has been charged with second-degree murder in that case.

Hey, I’d Watch That Show

Mark Steyn imagines the scene when the outlaw is apprehended:

When the D.C. SWAT team, the FBI, and the ATF take out NBC News and the whole building goes up in one almighty fireball, David Gregory will be the crazed loon up on the roof like Jimmy Cagney in White Heat: “Made it, Ma! Top of the world!” At last, some actual must-see TV on that lousy network.

Whittle And Rachel On The Long And Short View

Posted on | December 29, 2012 | 14 Comments

by Smitty

This blog is a huge fan of these two. The ‘Zo is arguing that the Dems are lining up Hillary for 2016, and that that conservatives should be prepping now to stop throwing female conservative leaders under the bus. Even to the extent of letting Allen West go, which is mildly surprising.

He’s also touting an audio book, “Weapon of A.S.S. Destruction“, where the acronym means “American Socialist States” probably should have given it some sort of prefix to avoid confusion with other genres.

Whittle offers an important essay on the bigger picture, in sort of a “let not your heart be troubled” mode.

One major historical facet that I’d like to explore someday is to what degree the Closing of the Frontier fed into the need for Progress as a new goal to set in front of the people, along with the Industrial Revolution that Whittle cites. People who distrust liberty seem to feel the need to have some slogan to dangle in front of people.

Whittle’s point is borne out in the economics of the Information Age. Vast amounts of brick-and-mortar business have changed drastically or vanished. The government, occupying the unique position of determining the rules, has insulated itself substantially from the alterations in the landscape.

Will the GOP position itself to be more than a whipping boy in the discussion? Not clear, coming back to the Zo essay. It seems as though the GOP elite  likes Progress more than liberty, and acts more as a shock absorber for Tea Party energy than any sort of reform-minded party. If it turns out that the GOP elite is more loyal to Progress, then, ironically, the Progressive Left has some justification in being angry with the GOP, if not accuracy in calling the Tea Parties ‘astroturf’.
