Anti-Gun, Moderate, Douche Bag To Head RNC
If there is one litmus test as to whether someone is on our side or not, it is the debate over so-called “assault weapons.” If someone says that assault weapons (however that is defined that day) should be outlawed because they have no “legitimate” sporting use, then that person doesn’t understand the true meaning of the Second Amendment, no matter how much they may mouth platitudes about supporting it. The newly-elected chairman of the Republican Nat’l Committee, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele is one such person.
In 2006 he said: “Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that.”
Firstly, “overkill?” In most states that allow deer hunting with a rifle, you wouldn’t be able to use an “assault weapon” such as an AR-15 because they are too underpowered to ensure a clean kill. Some so-called assault weapons fire 9mm pistol ammunition which the FBI and police departments around the country have abandoned because it can’t reliably drop bad guys.
Secondly, the Second Amendment isn’t about “skeet shooting or hunting or things like that,” Mikey! It’s about shooting Red Coats, bandits, charging cougars, and usurping tyrants.
This is just further evidence that GOP plans to continue to shoot itself in the foot with gun owners… just as soon as it figures out how to get its John McCain-imposed safety lock off.
Anti-Gun Cheddarhead Shows Zero Sense
A teacher from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin has been placed on administrative leave (suspension). What was teacher Betsy Ramsdale’s crime? She had a picture taken of herself holding her gun. No, it wasn’t at school and she wasn’t pointing it at a student’s head or something. It was just a picture that she posted on the private “social networking” site called Facebook.
A “concerned” co-worker saw the picture on Facebook and ratted Ms. Ramsdale out to school officials. While it’s unclear what rule, if any, Betsy broke, the school’s superintendent Donald Childs said that the photo “appears to be poor judgment."
Superintendent Childs’ email address is childsd@beaverdam.k12.wi.us and his work phone number is (920)885-7470, ext. 1111 if you’d care to discuss “poor judgment” with him.
Castle Doctrine Coming To Iowa?
House File 86 “An Act relating to the justifiable use of reasonable force,” has been introduced in the Iowa General Assembly. Under current law, Iowans have a duty to flee from criminal attack before being “justified” to use deadly force outside their home. The proposed law would specify that “a person has no duty to retreat, and has the right to stand the person's ground, and meet force with force, if the person believes reasonable force, including deadly force, is necessary under the circumstances to prevent death or serious injury to oneself or a third party, or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.”
You can find your Iowa state representative here, to urge them to support HF 86.

Obviously, the blue-blood neo-con idiots at the RNC learned absolutely nothing from RINO McCain's spanking. They remind me of that episode of the Simpsons where Bart keeps trying to steal the cupcake that's hooked up to the electrodes and keeps getting shocked for it...over and over and over again. Lisa's hamster...and Bart...are still smarter than the GOP "leadership".
I think they will figure it out and start standing up, but they need to have it beaten into them till they do.
In Australia, our opposition is tending to be so shell shocked that they are as weak as piss, but they are managing to actually stand up to Rudd now.
In closing, I will run the immortal words of my old mate Al Czervic past you for a bit of amusement:
I prefer a .270 Winchester 150 gr. for moose. For Dem's it's simply flypaper with a picture of Che Guevera printed on it.
Al Czervic? Wasn't that Rodney Dangerfield's character in the movie Caddyshack?
Al is an old blogging mate of mine from out in the Catskills, a very astute and pithy character, ex-navy - Vietnam, and the sort of person I think you would like a lot.
Unfortunately he is not blogging at present and has closed his site.
Good to have you aboard. I don't think we oursleves qualify as astute or pithy, but we strive for loud and obnoxious as a substitute.
