"ATF officials in charge of scandalous gunwalk program allowed to retire."

What the heck. They were only little fish in a monstrous, murderous conspiracy against the Constitution that killed American law enforcement officers and a few thousand Mexicans. But then again, almost every federal department including the FBI, the NSC and the State Department was involved as well. I mean, if you can excuse that, you can excuse anything, right? Keep the names on file, though. You never can tell when they might be indicted and convicted under the implacable Law of Unintended Consequences.

Otto Didact said...: I am mistified. Precisely what part of this story is in any way surprising? Instead of being guests of the taxpayers in one of those "resort communities" the fedgov operates in the country, they get a generous stipend (from those same taxpayers) and can go to work somewhere else. Why would any thinking person expect it to be different?

We are living under a kakoiocracy (from the Greek "kakoios", the superlative form of "kakos" - bad/evil).; November 16, 2015 at 6:24 PM
Anonymous said...: No surprise, nothing in the Obamanation Administration is untouched by corruption and criminality..OF COURSE they went uncharged and allowed to retire, NOTHING has Changed since the HW Bush reign nor the Clinton Administration.

the entire US FED GOV is festooned with scumbags and criminals, but people keep deluding themselves that is simply cannot be so, and look what happens...

GamegetterII said...: Due to the efforts of Mike Vanderboegh,David Codrea,and Sharyl Atkisson-no one,aside from those involved, would have known about the fustercluck that was Operation Fast and Furious.
Even though there were no consequences for those who ran the operation-the scum sucking pieces of excrement were caught in the act.
The publicity caused BATFE,the Holder DOJ, and the Obama admins attempt at generating support for more draconian "gun control" laws to fail.
They'll never stop trying-and those of us who are gun rights "activists" will never stop fighting back.
Hopefully,our side wins more of the battles than their side until all the unconstitutional "gun control" laws have been repealed.; November 17, 2015 at 5:44 PM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.
