Talk, talk, talk. Where's the ATF oversight hearings you promised the F&F whistleblowers, Congressman Issa?

Darrell Issa: Obama administration waging ‘a war on guns’ with ‘rogue’ ATF sting operations.

Anonymous said...: Hearings? Did I say we would conduct hearings?

Issa has shown himself to be either a lackey willing to carry water for the party of dead elephants or utterly bereft of the stones to do what is necessary.... perhaps he is both.
Agent Terry was killed in December of 2010. That means more than 3 years have passed since knowledge of the connection between smuggled guns and Terry's death came to the fore.

Jhn1 said...: Did you expect anything else?

Really???

As I have said earlier, from a discussion with my then Congressman Joe Walsh, John Boehner is not going to allow any impeachment of any Federal official.

Under any circumstances.

That is why people discuss insisting on begging for malfeasant officials to resign.

Instead of impeaching their asses.

The other tool of reducing funding to malfeasant offices is defeated by Harry Reid's unconstitutional veto of House budgets, and the magic rolling "clean continuing resolutions", based on the 2009 Pelosi-Reid Progressive Wet Dream budget.

Plus the annual increases of course.; January 12, 2014 at 8:37 PM

Anonymous said...: Issa is full of shit. He has been grandstanding for two years. It is my opinion that he is simply controlled opposition and NEVER intended to do SHIT about any of this. He's all bark and no bite. Now the scumbag poseur shows up in NH as if he's going to run for POTUS. Sadly, Issa is just one more name to add to the list of those to hold accountable at the appropriate time and place - and I don't think that day is far off.; January 12, 2014 at 10:59 PM
AJ said...: I've said this before, and I'll say it again: what do you guys really think is the purpose of the NSA and the FBI? Here's a hint; it ain't to keep us safe from terrorists. It's to keep guys like Issa and Justice Roberts on the reservation.
Nothing will change until people get fed up enough to mass together and dismantle the three letter agencies, and start stringing up congresscritters and their bankster masters. Until then, if you like your police state, you can keep your police state. And you will.; January 13, 2014 at 10:10 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.
