It is nice to be important in Chicago…

Gun Control, Chicago-Style

Last week, the body of Chicago school board president Michael Scott was found in the Chicago River with a single bullet wound in his head. The big story was that this powerful, well-connected public official had, according to the county medical examiner, committed suicide. The less-noticed story was that he did it with an illegal weapon.

After all, handgun ownership is not allowed in the city of Chicago, which has one of the strictest gun control laws in the country, and Scott killed himself with a .380-caliber sidearm. [snip]

Amazingly enough, he was not the first local public official to take the view that firearms restrictions are something for other, ordinary people to observe. Chicago politicians are zealously committed to gun control in law but fairly relaxed about it in practice.

In 1994, State Sen. Rickey Hendon had an unregistered handgun stolen from his home in a burglary, and he didn’t feign contrition about his disregard of the ordinance.

“I have a right to protect myself,” he declared, noting that he had been burglarized before—and forgetting that the state legislature of which he is a member allows Illinois cities to deprive their citizens of that right. Asked if he would replace the lost piece, Hendon said, “No comment.” The police were kind enough not to charge him.

U.S. Sen. Roland Burris, another Chicagoan, has endorsed a nationwide ban on handguns and, in 1993, organized Chicago’s first Gun Turn-in Day. But the following year, while running unsuccessfully for governor, he admitted he owned a handgun—”for protection,” he explained—and hadn’t seen fit to turn it in along with those other firearms. Lesser mortals apparently can protect themselves with forks and spoons. [snip]

Then the batch of fraudsters if the UK, yeah, the Gorebot’s buds…

Viscount Monckton on Climategate: ‘They Are Criminals’ (PJM Exclusive)

This is what they did — these climate “scientists” on whose unsupported word the world’s classe politique proposes to set up an unelected global government this December in Copenhagen, with vast and unprecedented powers to control all formerly free markets, to tax wealthy nations and all of their financial transactions, to regulate the economic and environmental affairs of all nations, and to confiscate and extinguish all patent and intellectual property rights. [snip]

Worse, these arrogant fraudsters — for fraudsters are what we now know them to be — have refused, for years and years and years, to reveal their data and their computer program listings. Now we know why: As a revealing 15,000-line document from the computer division at the Climate Research Unit shows, the programs and data are a hopeless, tangled mess….[snip]

Finally, these huckstering snake-oil salesmen and “global warming” profiteers — for that is what they are — have written to each other encouraging the destruction of data that had been lawfully requested under the Freedom of Information Act in the UK by scientists who wanted to check whether their global temperature record had been properly compiled.[snip]

 Then the voter registration darlings who are so above board…

 San Diego ACORN Document Dump Scandal

[snip]
Shockingly, we now learn that the ACORN office in National City (San Diego County) engaged in a massive document dump on the evening of October 9th, containing thousands upon thousands of sensitive documents, just days prior to the Attorney General’s visit.

BigGovernment.com has learned that not only did this document dump occur, but the documents in question were irresponsibly and brazenly dumped in a public dumpster, without considering laws and regulations as to how sensitive information should be treated. [snip]

Here’s some one who is lucky the compassionate death panelists didn’t pull out his feeding and water tubes.

Man trapped in 23-year ‘coma’ reveals horror of being unable to tell doctors he was conscious

A car crash victim has spoken of the horror he endured for 23 years after he was misdiagnosed as being in a coma when he was conscious the whole time.

Rom Houben, trapped in his paralysed body after a car crash, described his real-life nightmare as he screamed to doctors that he could hear them - but could make no sound.

‘I screamed, but there was nothing to hear,’ said Mr Houben, now 46, who doctors thought was in a persistent vegatative state.

Yeah, very lucky ObamaCare isn’t in place.

NO Explanation Needed!

The peephole into a liberal’s mind.

A fairly easy question to answer!

Here’s a short list of the miscreants, I apologize in advance for leaving YOUR name off:

• Every individual who demanded bigger entitlement programs
• Every Congress-critter that voted to give the bigger benefits to persons that never worked for them
• Barack Obama who pushed through that massive porkulus bill
•  George Bush and the TARP plan to bail out the Wall Street swells
• Paulson sending that money overseas to China and Europe, paying off private banker’s debts that his buds at Goldman Sachs built up.
• Your congressman or woman that you voted back into office year after year knowing they were not doing the country a bit of good
• Barney Frank and the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae scandal
• Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad in cahoots with Countrywide
• Sanders and Leahy continuing to vote to fund ACoRN after the news break
• Every union member and Corporate dirtbag at GM that went along to avoid strife and busted the bank on the car prices
• The idea that any corporation is to big to fail-they’re to big to exist
• Idiotic Sarbanes-Oxley Act by Congress when they should have been using the Sherman Anti-Trust Act on many on the A&M going on during the last 25 years

This iswhat makes us a debtor nation; in the eyes of the IOC, we cannot raise the capital to put on the Olympics. Olympic budgets are notorious for running 4 times higher than projected; check London’s expenditures tight now.

Rio has to come up with a huge sum and that will run over projections. They are considered a second world nation. We’re in debt to them!

THAT’S WHY THE OLYMPICS ARE IN BRAZIL; LIBERALS SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED FOR SPENDING US TO THIS POSITION. 

But no, they, like Martha Stewart, think it is “a good thing.”

This may be last posting, I’m moving to South Carolina in a week. I leave you with this image from the Vermont Woodchuck.

To the fiscal conservatives, Good Luck!
To the Loons and Moonbats, get ready to spend your own money!
Podesta’s puppet is a failure.

Twenty questions!

Actually, a lot fewer questions are necessary to figure out who did this.

So let us ask the questions:

• Was it Edna, feeling peppy after getting her blue rinse?
• Perhaps it was Wilbur, practicing get-a-ways with his new walker.
• Shelia, the hothead disruptive one at the Mahjong parties might do this.
• Check out the returning Iraq vet terrorist, the legless one in the motor wheelchair, the system jerked him around enough. That chair speeds him away silently.
• One last try, how about the maladjusted Vietnam Vet, druggie dropouts, alkies, Gawd knows what else. You know, they just hate, hate, hate!

This is a regular rogues gallery of misfits, wig wearers rabble, gun owners and baby killers.
Homeland Security has several on the Terrorist Watch List, put there by none other that J. Napolitano, Guardian of Obama’s Universe herself.
Every one of them must have waved a swastika in Pelosi’s face. It’s on camera, right?

Didn’t even need 20 questions to isolate the culprit, did you. Did you?

Hmmmmmm! Any other ideas? Like some limp willy panty wearing ACoRN idiot. Let us include that LibPig in the questions.

Now do we have an answer? Wanna bet we’re getting close. Hey, maybe it was this guy’s staffer (on orders) or even Fumbles Scott himself.We’ll find out more, somebody will talk.

This is an opportunity to explore the manifold reasons for spaying community organizers.

Blondie chastises the idiot, then goes back to removing lice, lesions or cooties from her leg. Self care I guess.

Idiot expounds on free health care, free lunch and free rent, through what sounds like TB.
In the midst of her posit, she avers she doesn’t believe in western medicine.

Neither apparently availed themselves of free nor paid education; if they attended any purported institute of learning, they avoided logic courses.

Maybe Margaret Sanger wasn’t wrong!

Here’s must listen audio of Barack Obama discussing the Warren Court, wealth redistribution, and the civil rights movement:

In the audio, Obama says one of the “tragedies”, his words mind you, of the civil rights movement was its focus on the courts.  The courts couldn’t “break free from the essential constraints placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution” against redistribution of wealth.  Obama goes on to say it’s just as well though since people are less accepting of court mandated change anyway.  So how does he forsee this redistributive action taking place?  Through community organizing and forming coalitions of power that can enact it through the legislative process.

Is anybody else connecting the dots out there?  Obama’s far left-wing associations (ACORN, Ayers, and Wright), which the media insists aren’t relevant, clearly aren’t accidental.  They play a vital role in the strategy that vaulted him into power.  Now he’s in position to form a coalition with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to do legislatively what the courts wouldn’t.  It’s no accident that congressional Democrats are discussing the seizure of private assets in 401Ks.  They know what Joe the Plumber knows–Obama is a Marxist.

There’s only one problem for Obama though–America is still a center, right nation.  Americans overwhelmingly reject wealth redistribution in favor of job creation and improving the overall economy by huge margins (84% to 13%).  I just hope people wake up in time to avert this disaster.

Update:  Here’s McCain on Barack the “Redistributor”.  Best line: “…He’s more interested in controlling wealth than creating it….in redistributing money instead of spreading opportunity…”

Strange none of these fraudulent filings are by Republicans.

Chester man arrested in voter fraud

Amid national outcries over alleged voter-registration fraud, Delaware County officials announced the arrest yesterday of a 34-year-old Chester man for election-related offenses.

Delaware County District Attorney G. Michael Green said Jemar Barksdale, an ex-employee of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), turned in voter-registration cards for 18 already-registered voters, altering information and forging signatures. [snip]

Must be ACORN is just trying to “reform” the system.

“That One” did say he will include ACORN and La Raza in his policy formation after the election, before the Inauguration, and meet with them regularly afterward.

Maybe like the “Kitchen Cabinet” of yore!

“Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.”-Robert Heinlein

If you think this election will resolve the differences in this country, I doubt it. Since the 2000 election, positions have hardened; in 2004 the hubbub be came roars. The volume is only rising.

After ACORN rigged mortgages for illegals, then registered them to vote including the Dallas Cowboy Football team in Nevada, I’m not confident this election is going to be an “OH Well” on the 5^th of Nov.

The congressional GOP sold their honor for pottage. They’re toast.

[snip]
However this election turns out, there will be turmoil. If Obama wins, a large part of the country will feel angry and powerless against the will of the left leaning blue states, the news media, Hollywood and academia. (In fact, they already feel that way, I assure you.) They will believe that ACORN created enough false voter registrations to put Obama over the top. If McCain wins, the left will riot and claim, “The Diebold machines were hacked!” The blue states, the news media, Hollywood and academia will resent that the will of the “dumb hicks” in flyover country overruled that of their “betters”. And we will hear the cries of, “Racism! Racism!” ad nauseam.

I hate to sound all doom-and-gloom, but I see absolutely no solution to this. Or at least no solution in which America stays in the same form it is now. I hope I’m wrong about that. I guess we’ll see.

This started with the spoiled kids of the ’50’s whose parents didn’t want them to suffer the pain of the depression and post depression life.

And of course, as David Frum has written, the sixties were really the vanguard, the early warning detector of the looming culture war, which rages–if a “cold civil war” can be said to rage–to this day.

Guess what brats, welcome to 2008 and the great meltdown.

The Anchoress has a must read post that perfectly describes how I feel. It is too good to cut up and pull individual quotes from.

Go read it and feel free to come back and comment on it.

Update: This post from Right Wing Nut House is also excellent.

Here is another video that shows how democrat policies, including the actions of Barack Obama, led us to the current financial crisis. Ed Morrissey breaks it down here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivmL-lXNy64

Forward it along to all of your friends. Previous videos are here, here, and here.

As the market continues to plummet and bad polling numbers continue to roll in it is easy to declare that all is lost and we should just give up.  Do not give in to that temptation. As The Anchoress notes, that is exactly what the democrats and their accomplices in the media want you to do.

I’m getting a sense that some people are freaking out, out there, that it’s three weeks to election and so it’s time to hyperventilate.

Of course that’s not true. Three weeks is still a huge chunk of time in an election, and things turn on a dime. The whole point of the big “landslide” story is the press helping Obama out some more; it is meant to make you despair and not go vote. It’s a game. While they’re saying “landslide,” and Charlie Gibson is acting like he’s in heat, Obama’s lost another point at Rasmussen.

The truth is, he’s not closing the deal, he can’t close the deal unless ACORN goes out there and registers 105% of voters, slashes tires and does all the stuff they have done (with little-to-no press coverage) with increasing vigor in each election.

They know that if they can depress turnout on election day, not only will Obama win, he will also have large majorities in both houses of Congress causing the country to take a sharp left turn. So whatever you do, don’t let the media determine the winner. Forget the polls and get out and vote and let the chips fall where they may!

As for the polls, take them with a grain of salt. Especially the state polls.

Even this brief examination reveals that the state opinion polls were often wrong, and often to a materially significant degree. In 2004, both Bush and Kerry’s support were commonly under-estimated, but in several groups’ work, all of Bush’s support was underestimated and Kerry’s support was much more likely to be over-estimated. The margin was also often wrong, and to a significant degree. State polls, therefore, are not proven to be a valid predictor of election results.

Update: Click here for another look at polling and Obama’s inability to close the deal.

ACORN, not Bill Ayers, might be Obama’s undoing in this election.  Look at all the stories breaking about ACORN vote fraud:

1. Nevada state officials raid local ACORN offices over alleged voter fraud
2. Indiana officials find 2/3 of ACORN applications fraudulent
3. Detroit officials find fraudulent ACORN voter registrations

Folks, these aren’t the only places where ACORN is stuffing the ballot boxes for the Messiah.  Every battleground state out there has swarms of ACORN activists registering Tony Romo to vote.  The trail connecting the Obama Messiah, ACORN, and Bill Ayers is long and twisted.  They were funneling education funds from the trusts they sat on to ACORN.  The Obama Messiah was an ACORN activist himself and is currently funding the voter fraud:

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat’s campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports.

An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. — a subsidiary of ACORN — worked in “get-out-the-vote” projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary.

It’s more like get-out-the-fraud activities.  I’m sure their misrepresentation of ACORN’s activities on the campaign’s behalf was strictly a clerical oversight.

John McCain must bring attention to these fraudulent activities tonight.  He also shouldn’t neglect to state that Democrats were trying to give ACORN 20% of the profits from the bailout bill.  The media will say he lost the debate no matter what happens, so he might as well go for broke.
