I have another name for it: ABJECT FAILURE.

"Obama's efforts on gun control have little to show: Despite forceful rhetoric after mass shootings, he's made little progress toward new curbs on gun sales."

"On the morning after the San Bernardino attack, Obama turned the focus to the states instead, where more gun control measures have been passing."

Okay, let's recap. After almost 7 years in power, Obama has by his own efforts sold more firearms and ammunition than any three previous presidents combined, maybe more. The so-called "progress" with state restrictions after Sandy Hook have done nothing but provoke an armed civil disobedience movement that has the anti-firearm politicians in those states too frightened to enforce the laws they passed lest they suffer personal consequences and start a civil war. Passage of anti-firearm laws, they are learning, doesn't mean dick if the laws are nullified by armed civil disobedience. The millions that Mike Bloomberg have spent -- and continue to spend -- have bought the prohibitionists exactly nothing. Indeed, by any metric -- poll numbers, background checks, concealed carry permits, ammunition shortages due to demand, loss of control of the House and Senate -- Obama's clumsy crusade has been an abject failure. Throw in the failed Fast and Furious conspiracy (see "The Obama administration, not the NRA, sells guns to terrorists") which dealt a tremendous blow to the regime's credibility and you have a classic epic fail. Every time Obama opens his mouth on the subject, he sells more firearms and ammunition for us. One wonders if the man can possibly be that stupid as to not recognize this, or does he really WANT the country -- and his self-chosen political enemies -- to be armed to to the teeth?

Meanwhile, the GOP candidates are showing remarkable sense and not letting themselves be stampeded by collectivist name-calling as many of their squishy predecessors have -- "GOP candidates double down on guns after San Bernardino: A day after the shooting massacre in California, Republican presidential contenders were utterly unapologetic about their opposition to new gun-control laws."

Anonymous said...: He's done/doing exactly what the elite shadow gov't establishment had him slated for when they shoved him down our throats. He's Balkanized what was once a somewhat united country. He's destroyed an already dying economy, feminized the military, and ran up an untenable debt. He's a man of below average intelligence who thinks he's outwitted everyone else; as stupid people often do. But he's smart enough to know power comes from the barrel of a gun and wants only his traitorous minions to have them. He's also smart enough to realize that a majority of Americans are no more than brainwashed sheep who will not and cannot stand up to likes of bullies like him. But he never counted on a minority that still has the courage and resolve to stand up to bullies. People that are still humans, not consumers. Not lazy, entitled cry-babies who run at the first sound of a gun shot.The kind of people who created America in the first place; not the Darwinist elite the History Channel tries to portray as the men who built America. I'm sure they are already surprised by this, but if they continue to push, then the big surprise is yet to come...; December 4, 2015 at 8:05 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.
