Quote of the Day: I am Spartacus because...

"I am Spartacus because a Rodeo Clown CAN laugh at the king. As can we all. As SHOULD we all."

--Sarah Hoyt, at According to Hoyt

Just so we know what I'm referring to, the Missouri rodeo clown:

Exercising his Constitutional right to freedom of expression and poking fun at the real clown:

James Woods nails Queen Hussein

Gotta love James Woods. On Twitter yesterday he zinged President B. Hussein Obama over the "I could have been Trayvon" speech.

Some Wooden gems:  "Does the President of the United States have any advice for other teenage boys in America?" and "ALL youth of every heritage in this country would benefit from jobs and manageable student loans, NOT a bloated Welfare State."

And the winner:  "The only reason people lock their car doors when Obama walks by is they are afraid he'll tax them to death..."

Quote of the Day -- Walid Shoebat on Immigration "Reform"

As the immigration debate continues to rage, its proponents insist conscientious objectors to the plans of the Gangs of eight (Senate and House) are racist xenophobes who simply have no compassion for Mexican nationals that desperately want a better life. Yet, the small minds of such accusers are impenetrable to painful facts. The ‘race card’ is a ‘bully card’ and bullying is the most base of human tendencies that requires brain activity from little more than the brain stem. Such individuals are either pushing an agenda or are the useful idiots of those who are.

That Time Again

Another year older today.

R.E.O. Deathwagon

Damn You, Ransom E. Olds!  And damn your interchangeable automobile parts giving rise to the modern automobile industry and mass production of death machines.

A person is three times more likely to be killed by an automobile than by a gun.  It's high time to ban the automobile.

The U.S. homicide rate was 4.7 per 100,000 persons in 2011.  That would be 14,570 homicides in a population of 310,000,000.  67.5% of homicides were by gun.  That is 9,835 homicides by gun.

The number of automobile deaths in 2011 was 32,367 in the U.S.  Over three times the amount of gun homicides.

Put another way, the number of automobiles in the U.S. is somewhere around 255,000,000.  With 32,367 deaths, that would mean that 0.0127 percent of automobiles are involved in a death in 2011.  A very small percentage.

With 300,000,000 guns in the U.S., we have 9,835 gun homicides.  That is 0.00328% of firearms involved in a homicide in 2011, about one-fourth the rate for automobiles.  A very, very small amount.

The rate may be even less due to an error of methodology which favors the automobile:  Most gun homicides are of a single person.  Automobile fatalities where one automobile collision results in multiple fatalities are common. 

The bottom line:  Chuckie Schumer, Diane Fineswine, Mayor Boob-berg, the Manchurian Hawaiian, and others of the anti-gun ilk are missing the boat.  If they really wanted to save lives, they would get straightaway to banning the automobile.

Sadly, Chuckie, Ms. Fineswine, Boob-berg, the Kenyan-in-chief, and other collectivist totalitarians are more interested in consolidating political power and subjugating the citizenry than in saving lives.

That also explains the burgeoning business in government contracts to supply black pajamas and large amounts of ammunition.

Federal Budget Sequester Begs This Question

I think we deserve an answer to this question from Reichsfuhrer Napolitano. And not in the form of more demagoguery about right wing extremists like me, gun owners like me, taxpayers like me, non-collectivist/communist/bloomberg-nannyist/democrats like me, nativists like me, and non-obama fans like me.  Also not in the form of jack booted thuggery, massive ammunition purchasing, public intimidating, and sexually molesting like Janet's employees.

How about how you are going to enforce the borders, quit allowing the importation of America's enemies, and actually investigate people who tells us that they intend to do harm to America, no matter what color their skin is or if they share the same religion as Barack Obama and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev?

Comment on Obergruppenfuhrer Sebelius' Plan to Violate Your Health Care Records Privacy Rights

David Codrea has asked for concerned citizens to comment on Obergruppenfuhrer Sebelius' proposed HHS rule for changes to HIPAA, which would allow access to mental health records as part of a background check for firearms purchases.

Of course, I am opposed to such a violation of citizens rights.  My comment is as follows:

How Orwellian.  This is the same government that does not vet its presidential candidates, prohibits requiring identification to vote, and does everything it can to prohibit states and employers from ensuring that only US citizens are eligible for legal employment. 

It must be tough promulgating such a new rule.  While it may not have the support of gun owners such as myself, who are not likely to be communists, er...  democrats, don't you think you are risking alienating the mentally ill, who usually are democrats.  Cases in point:  Christopher Dorner and Jared Loughner.  I realize that Christopher Dorner is dead, but when did that ever stop a democrat from voting.  I mean, Kathleen Sebelius' career would not have even got off the ground without the dead, mentally ill, and fictional people voting.

OF COURSE I AM OPPOSED TO THIS NEW INFRINGEMENT UPON THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF AMERICANS.

IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT "GUN VIOLENCE", THEN DISARM GOVERNMENT JACKBOOTED THUGS WEARING BLACK PAJAMAS ON THEIR FANTASY RAIDS.  THEY MUST BE MENTALLY ILL TO THINK THAT A BLACK PAJAMA RAID IS REQUIRED TO SERVE A SEARCH WARRANT AT A CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS (FLYING J CORP) IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.

I WOULD GIVE YOU MORE OF MY TWO CENTS, BUT I NEED EVERY PENNY I CAN GET TO PAY FOR THAT OTHER UNCONSTITUTIONAL OBAMINATION, OBAMACARE.

Yes, my comment is a bit extreme.  Someone once said, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice."  I agree.
