Sipsey Street Irregulars: Obama gathers in the gun control faithful for a chat while some of the pols are running from him as if his close-cropped hair was on fire.

Obama gathers in the gun control faithful for a chat while some of the pols are running from him as if his close-cropped hair was on fire.

The demi-god is calling in the gun control faithful for a chat: "Obama to speak to to Organizing for Action Wednesday."

Obama will speak to a Wednesday night dinner for donors and grass-roots supporters at the “founders’ summit ”of Organizing for Action, the nonprofit successor organization to his campaign, officials said.

The summit, to be held Wednesday and Thursday at a Washington hotel, is aimed at keeping supporters motivated ahead of tough congressional fights on gun legislation and immigration reform and to take their temperature about the future of the organization.

Meanwhile some of the pols are running from him as if his close-cropped hair was on fire:

"Dems' big 2014 obstacle: President Obama."

A number of Democrats made clear in interviews that the more partisan posture Obama has adopted over the past few months — particularly on cultural issues like gun control, and to a lesser extent on immigration and gay marriage — is making an uphill slog that much steeper.

That said we still have a lot of educating to do with in our own ranks. In a recent survey of NRA members 89% claimed they opposed a semi-auto ban while 92% claimed they opposed Universal background checks.

My question is what the hell happened to 100% opposed to ALL forms of gun control.

A US senate committee passed the so-called straw purchase bill while some may support it I am ardently 100% opposed.

We don’t need any more stinking gun control laws.

When liberals start holding up Tricky Dick as an example of their brand of virtue, you know the desperation level is off the chart.; March 11, 2013 at 2:36 PM

The results will not be pretty by any means but we will not end up looking like Detroit or Chicago. To start with those two cities are infested to the walls with people who have aspire to nothing more than to continue sucking nourishment from the government welfare teat. I do not see any likely scenario that would turn the rest of the country into that without major conflict.; March 11, 2013 at 5:20 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.

"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.
