Snowflakes in Hell

The left overuses this term, but this eight grade girl from Detroit really gets it.  She’s talking to Monica Conyers, wife of Congressman John Conyers:

How I wish I were disgustingly rich, because I would offer that girl a free ride to wherever she wanted to go.  Not only did she challenge Mrs. Conyers with poise, she didn’t hold back.  Pretty clearly an incident like this should be the end of Monica Conyer’s career, but this is Detroit.  If there were 1000 more little eighth grade girls like this, it would give me great optimism about the future.

Hat Tip to Hit & Run

Attacking Obama on the gun issue, pretty directly.  Via Instapundit, who got it from SayUncle.  I find this whole thing rather laughable, since Hillary is really no better on guns than Obama, but it’s interesting that she’s willing to attack him on it.  Hillary is a shameless chameleon.  She is willing to say or do anything in order go get power.  If making you think she’s better on guns than he is is what it takes, so be it.

I do not want Obama to be President, but to some degree, I can respect that he has been unable to escape what he is, which is a solid man of the left.  Hillary is not a woman of the left, she’s a woman of power, in that she wants it, no matter the cost.  I have no doubt that Barack Obama would be a disaster for America, but no person who lusts for power to such a deagree that she’s willing to throw her belief in gun control overboard should be trusted to wield it.

Going to to my friend Carrie, who is 22 today:

Here at Snowflakes in Hell, we celebrate chicks with guns.  Especially chicks who shoot AK-74s, and invite me to shoot on their 700 acre ranch.  Happy 22nd Birthday Carrie!

Obama and Snuffy, perfect together.

UPDATE: Link fixed.

I don’t want to muzzle common sense, but I can’t believe The Morning Call printed this drivel:

The colonists didn’t need a Second Amendment to possess guns. They had guns! In sparsely settled areas of Pennsylvania like Carbon County, they had to be ready for attacks from the native Americans. Settlers in Tamaqua and Lehigh Gap were killed. The Lehighton Cemetery bears witness to the massacre of 11 Moravian missionaries at their Gnaden Huetten settlement. Guns were needed for protection from the bears and the wolves. Sharpshooters provided wild game for much-needed protein for their families.

But, times have changed. Two hundred and sixteen years ago, there was not the terrible crime rate that exists today. Criminals, gang members and the mentally impaired can get their hands on a variety of weapons. Our society is burdened with too many sick individuals who do not value life. They will kill a human being as easily as they would swat a fly.

Let me get this straight.  We needed guns years ago to protect against all this violence, but today we don’t need guns because we have all this violence?  If this is the kinds of arguments that the gun control folks come up with, I’m feeling pretty good about the future of our second amendment rights.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is responsible for three sensible laws that shouldn’t be negated by the Supreme Court. The 1968 Gun Control Act lists the kind of individuals that should never be allowed to buy or own guns.

God damn.   It seems Paul Helmke has been time traveling around with Ronnie Barrett if The Brady Campaign is responsible for the Gun Contorl Act of 1968, which happened six years before the National Council to Ban Handguns was created, which became Handgun Control Inc. in 1980, and which finally became the Brady Campaign and Brady Center in 2001.  I’m an NRA member, and even I know more about Brady’s history than the clown who wrote this editorial.

The most sickening setback to gun control was the failure of Congress and President Bush to renew the ban on assault weapons. Now there are hundreds of ads for machine guns, large-capacity magazines, and ammunition on the Internet.

Really?  That’s funny, because the 1986 machine gun ban is still in full effect.  Not that the gun side doesn’t have our share of ignorant grass roots who can’t make a coherent and factual argument, but at least they aren’t writing editorials!  Time to send off a letter to the editor to expose this fraud.
