CBS COVERS THE BIGGEST GOVERNMENT SCANDAL SINCE WATERGATE AND STILL YOU SHITHEADS WON'T COVER IT?

Who's paying you?

The shroud of secrecy has fallen and Senator Grassley will soon have the ATF hierarchy onstage for the full Monty.

Expect the proceedings to be, ahem..."covered" by Drudge. ;^)

Hey, if there's a rumor that Avila was giving Newell blowjobs while cross-dressing in a little blue number, will you finally cover Gunwalker? I mean clearly, corruption, incompetence, broken laws, broken international treaties, bribery, and murder doesn't ring your chimes.

C'mon, bub. You've been scooped by a blogger, a firearms columnist, Fox, AND CBS.

Sincerely,

He has spurts of good news coverage that can't be found elsewhere, but it's become just a regurgitation via link to lib news I can easily find elsewhere. Besides that, he has the ever annoying and all too frequent auto-refresh making it difficult to read for those of us with speed challenged connections.

So, does it really matter if Drudge won't get on board? Thanks to Mike and David, word is getting out...

cranky_yankee said...: Fox-news was reporting on a major raid in Texas today, the reporter, former ? Lib. CNN's John Roberts was detailing the raids.

Such and such, so and so and conveniently ended the report with " And 8 assaults weapons with the serial numbers ground off were heading to Mexican drug gangs".
At that point it was clear that Fox is running interference, hardly a surprise, as far as Drudge, that's been useless for about 5 yrs. now.

While I commend Mike V. and Dave C. for the great and patriotic work, this story will sadly disappear. When Fox-news, the network of choice for the so-called conservative movement refuses to touch it, it's over.

Senator Grassley will be told to stand down and will sadly comply and the story will become untouchable on Capitol hill.
The ATF whistle blowers will become known and that problem will be dealt with.

If the news media did the job of informing the American people honestly, would we be in the current mess we are in now ?, I think not.

I hope I'm wrong.
Regardless, hat's off to Mike and Dave. Keep up the Good fight.

If I seem cynical, watching the state of our country for the past 20 years has had that effect.; February 24, 2011 at 5:11 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
