"Doesn't the New York Times care about dead Mexicans? "

Finally, The Cognoscenti Ask: What Could We Be Thinking? by Mark Steyn.

But sometimes Obama cronyism is murderous: Eric Holder, a man unfit to be attorney general of the United States, continues to stonewall the "Fast and Furious" investigation into taxpayer-funded government gun-running to Mexican drug cartels.

It is alleged that the administration chose to facilitate the sale of American weapons to crime kingpins south of the border in order to support a case for gun control north of the border. Evidence keeps piling up:

The other day, a letter emerged from ATF supervisor David Voth authorizing Special Agent John Dodson to buy Draco pistols to sell directly to known criminals. Over 200 Mexicans are believed to have been killed by "Fast and Furious" weapons — that is to say, they were killed by a U.S. government program.

Doesn't the New York Times care about dead Mexicans? Doesn't Newsweek or CBS News? Isn't Obamaism with a body-count sufficiently eye-catching even for the U.S. press? Or, three years in, are the enablers of Obama still so cynical that they accept it as a necessary price to pay for "change you can believe in"? You can't make a hopenchange omelette without breaking a couple hundred Mexican eggs?

Obama says America has "gotten a little soft." But there's nothing soft about a dead-parrot economy, a flat-line jobs market, regulatory sclerosis, "green jobs" multibillion-dollar squandering and a mountain of dead Mexicans. In a soft nation, "centrist" government is hard and cruel. Only the coverage is soft-focus.

How this nation ever voted this idiot into office will rank among the greatest mysteries of our time...like how the pyramids were made. They will probably start cranking up the big nasty stuff around primary time.; October 2, 2011 at 7:19 AM
TypicalClinger said...: @Frankenstein: No mystery. Millions of voters saw someone that looked like them and they went for it.Millions of voters who didn't look like him,but could make themselves feel good and just by voting for him went for it.Who cares that he's a marxist? Who cares that he is everything anti-American? The best bumper sticker I saw after the election-"Now that you elected Obama, go back to not having a clue."; October 2, 2011 at 9:11 AM

Oh, Please! There is no freaking mystery! There is a class of people who live off of the federal treasury. There is another class of people who become and stay powerful by appealing for the votes of the former by enabling the former's life style. These two classes allied to vote one of their own into the White House. Where do you see a mystery?

BTW.... there was a similar dynamic in play that led directly to the fall of the Roman Republic. You have heard the phrase "Bread and Circuses"?; October 2, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Mt Top Patriot said...: Dictators/the left/commies/etc, (I'm repeating myself), in their quest for destruction of everything anathema to tyranny, in order to obtain absolute power, care not how many bodies it leaves in its wake.
obama and his ilk are no different, they just happen to have the fig leaf of the legacy media covering for them long enough to cross the threshold into full blown tyranny.
This simple truth about body counts as a direct result of the tactics and strategies of such evil people and their agenda says everything one needs to know about the reality of how bad these people are, how little they care about anyone but themselves, and the lengths they are prepared to travel to attain their goals.

The very fact they occupy such a wide ranging scope of instrumental offices of power throughout government is nothing less than a slow creeping coupe from the inside out. It is like a body terminally riddled with cancer, a body politics where the rule of law and more importantly the principles there of, like the immune system becoming overwhelmed, is all but dead.
This has been the plan for a century. Kill America from the inside out.
Gunwalker is not the problem, it is a symptom of how the system of republican form of government, has been corrupted in its entirety.

The only remedy remaining, and the only remedy that has any teeth in it, is how far a small percentage of we of the people are willing to go, to quite simply go after these evil people with everything we have in us?

2012 will tell the tale. Whether we make to that date is itself a serious question. If we do, the outcome will answer many questions.

One way or another we are all like the pig, committed.
Every darn one of us.
No one is going to be left out of this party.
We all have skin in this game.
The question you got to be asking yourself, do I get ready living Liberty? Or, do I get dying a slow sure death by the hand of tyranny.
The last is a sure thing if you choose it.
The first has everything going for it.; October 2, 2011 at 10:55 AM

"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.

"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.
