Snowflakes in Hell

Chief Justice Roberts seems to understands trigger locks, but these guys had to find out the hard way why they are less than optimal for self-defense.

Marshall Manson thinks it’s unfair to castigate Obama for the things his pastor said:

I go to church, and like Senator Obama, I’ve sat quietly in my seat listening to my pastor say things which with I’ve disagreed, oftentimes strongly. But that doesn’t mean that I believe him to be any less a man of God.

God is perfect. Men are fallible. Which means men like Pastor Wright are fallible, too. Pastor Wright brought Barrack Obama closer to God. That’s his life’s purpose. He is not a man of politics. That’s Senator Obama’s territory. And to hold Senator Obama responsible for Pastor Wright’s views is, in my view, totally unfair.

Cam Edwards disagrees with Marshall.  Jim Geraghty jumps in as well.  I have to side with Cam and Jim on the issue.  I could probably stand to hear one or two whacked out things from my pastor, but I doubt I’d stay at a church with a pastor that said the things Wright has said.  Disagreement I can tolerate, but based on Wright’s statements, it’s hard for me to avoid coming to the conclusion that he hates his country, and quite possibly a lot of the people in it.  If Obama is content to be around that message, and associate it with his campaign, I think it’s appropriate to ask whether he’s the right person to represent all americans, whether they be black, white, hispanic or jew.

Apparently Always Think Forfeitures is one that someone at ATF wants to promote, as in Civil Asset Forfeiture, as in the government being able to take your property without due process.

Looks like Clayton Cramer will be joining The Other Sebastian in running for public office.  Clayton is a little socially conservative for my northeastern Republican political sensibilities, but I definitely wish him luck in securing a seat in the Idaho Senate.  Maybe after this he can run for Larry Craig’s senate seat.

Bitter takes apart a piece in my local paper that talks about the subject.  The instructor interviewed in this article is the guy that runs the shop I do all my FFL transfers through, and handled Bitter’s CZ.  Small world sometimes ain’t it?

Good thing Bitter is back at my house blogging, so I don’t have to.

Bitter has a bit up that talks about NAACP’s litigation strategy to attack Jim Crow, and points out the parallels to what gun owners will not be facing now that we’re executing a litigation strategy to restore the second amendment.  At least I hope there’s a strategy.  If there’s not, we need one.

I knew Tom Friendly was gay!  So it would seem that Ben’s people can move back and forth between The Island and the real world.  I think the writers are thinking at this point we should be pondering that maybe Ben really is the good guy.  He had Sayid Jarrah working for him, after all, I’m guessing talked into it by Michael, who isn’t one of the Oceanic Six, but just ended up back in the real world.  I think Ben is still the bad guy.  What’s the role of Alvar Hanso in all this?  All we hear about now is Charles Widmore. All I can say is they better start answering questions soon instead of raising more and more of them :)

Also, that show that comes on after Lost, “Eli Stone”, is bloody awful.  Seriously.  Get some actual attorneys on your staff so the show can come up with realistic legal situations.  Also, fire all the commies on the writing staff because their dirty hippy is showing, which means guys like me won’t watch it.
