Cruz (R-TX) Gives Constitutional Lesson to Feinstein

Now that the Senate Judiciary Committee feels that Senator Feinstein attack on our second amendment is justifiable and voted 10-8 to send it to the Senate floor, we have a showdown on our god given, constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.

Her comments made to Senator Cruz from Taxas, here, is startling line of thought and it is clearly misguided understanding of OUR right to keep and bear.

Now I took a few notes and feel compelled to respond:

-“Sandy Hook victims were dismembered.” 

How would she know this? Information on that has never been released.

-“Weapons of war” 

These are not weapons of war. No solder would be very confident to take semi-automatics in to the theater of war.

-“It’s fine that you want to lecture me on the constitution” 

No, the constitution is lecturing you.

-“I have been here a long time” 

The constitution has been here, as has our country, for far longer than her service.

-“It doesn't Prohibited, it exempts” Prohibits= Forbid (something) by law, rule, or other authority. 

Exempts= Others that are excused from. Meaning us and that you don’t have the right, but others do. That’s NOT how it works under the 2^nd amendment.

And I guess these Senators feel that Child pornography shouldn’t be banned in Texas public schools?

-“Congress is in the business of making law”

-Congress is in the business to be protecting our liberties, representing We the People and providing the common defense. WELL, they are suppose to, anyways....

-“The Supreme Court interprets the law. If they strike down the law, they strike down the law”

They’ve struck down similar laws in the recent past. What these gun grabbing liberals know is, it will take 2-3 years to get the law (if it becomes law) struck down. By that time, people have been without their rights to “Keep and Bear” for the time period.

 Dick Durbin says “None of our rights are absolute. None of them.” 

WHOA!! Carefull DICK! Your Marxism is showing, Fucker!!!

A well Regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”  Sure sounds like they ARE 'absolutely' free from limitations, restrictions, or exceptions!

THIS is the socialist left in America. You can easily see how they stick right with their dogma of their ideology.

Drones: Republicans Are Not The Only Ones Questioning

In a letter to Obama on Monday, eight House Democrats, led by Rep. Barbara Lee of California, hammers the administration for its “increasing devolution of accountability, transparency, and Constitutional protections in U.S. counterterrorism operations.”

Signing the note were some of the House’s most progressive members: Reps. John Conyers (MI), Donna Edwards (MD), Keith Ellison (MN), Raul Grijalva (AZ), Rush Holt (NJ), Mike Honda (CA), and James McGovern (MA).

I can't believe that I am saying this, but thank god for these Democrats having the courage to prove that concerns over the administration’s secretive drone strikes is not just a huge issue among civil libertarian Republicans like Paul.
The Democrats’ letter spells out concerns over five particular aspects of the drone program:

“An unbounded geographic scope; unidentified ‘high-level’ officials with authority to approve kill-lists; a vaguely defined definition of whether a capture is “feasible”; an overly broad definition of the phrase “imminent threat,” which re-defines the word in a way that strays significantly from its traditional and legal meaning; and the suggestion that killing American citizens and others would be legitimate “under the Authorization for Use of Military Force and the inherent right to self-defense.”

 They go on to say that its a “dangerous precedent” with its recent behavior, and demanded that Obama release:

“in an unclassified form, the full legal basis of executive branch claims in the areas which are the subject of this letter. The Executive’s claims of authority need to be fully articulated to the whole Congress and the American people.”

Well thats a breath of fresh air, if I do HAVE to say so myself .

PS: Are you listening, Lindsay Gramm and John McCain?

Obama: "I don't believe people should be able to own guns"

Thanks to CNS News, we now know the truth of Obama's opinion on our 2nd amendment rights.

In his new book, At the Brink, economist and author John R. Lott Jr., assesses the presidency of Barack Obama and recalls conversations regarding gun laws they had while working at the University of Chicago.
In Chapter Three, Mr. Lott discusses gun-control and takes the reader back to his time at the University of Chicago, where he and then-professor Barack Obama spoke on numerous occasions about guns in America.

"I don't believe people should be able to own guns," Obama told Lott one day at the University of Chicago Law School.

The chapter documents the actions that Obama has taken on guns, citing the following:

• In 1996, Obama supported a ban on handguns
• In 1998, he supported a ban on the sale of all semi-automatic guns
• In 2004, he advocated banning gun sales within five miles of a school or park, which would have shut down nearly all gun stores

President Barack Obama describes his views on guns much differently now that he is on the national stage, Lott believes, pointing to an interview on Fox News in which Obama states, "I have said consistently that I believe that the Second Amendment is an individual right."
h/t weasel zipper:

Yes, now that he is in the national spot light, of course he is going to change his tune.
But with today's MSM, he could still speak those words, and it wouldn't get any coverage.

Left Vs Right

It is amazing how, just because Obama won re-election, the left is out there fluffing up their feathers, pounding their chest and carrying around their Hammer and Sickle, like a proud father of his newest son.

They believe they have won the Americans hearts, and that conservatives are dead in their tracks.

OK, whatever keeps their cobweb filled heads occupied.

But the war is far from over between the Liberal Left and Conservative Right.

Over on Being Liberal Facebook page, they are touting this stat:

Yes, I have been hammering these jackwads!

Problem with the 109M, 1M and 20M stat is that it's not a stat about their facebook page.
It's a stat Facebook uses and compiles when someone uses the word "Liberal" on Facebook.
So those numbers are not a factor in this post.

What is a factor of this post is the first number from the "Being Liberal" page, the "Likes"
Nearly 600K.

Well a few days ago, I decided to do a little cut and paste venture of my own, and came up with some interesting numbers. Liberal vs Conservative, and here is what I found:

Liberal- 573K vs 2.6M- Conservative

Seems there ARE more Conservatives on Facebook.
About 5 times as much......

Be Prepared For A New Attack on the GOP

The Violence against Woman Act was renewed by congress and rewrites the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA), which was struck down by the SCOTUS, and the new legislation was opposed by conservative Republicans, who objected to extending the Act's protections to same-sex couples and to provisions allowing battered illegal aliens to claim temporary visas.

And even though on February 12, 2013, the Senate passed an extension of the Violence Against Women Act by a vote of 78-22. On February 28, 2013, the House of Representatives passed the extension by a vote of 286-138, with unanimous Democratic support and 87 Republicans voting in the affirmative, you would think this would be a bipartisan law and the left would move on, on this.

OH HELL NO!

Now they are going after those who voted against it in the House.
Think Progress and MSNBC are trying to make the GOP, at least some, look like they were opposed to the now law, because they are OK with woman being battered, as you can see from the picture inset, here.

 

Now in defense of Masha Blackburn, and as you will take notice of in the video, she refers to "When you start to make this about other things, you make it a targeted act... I didn't like it when it was expanded to other different groups"

You know the group she is talking about? Illegal aliens to claim temporary visas.
Her vote against it had NOTHING to do with being against battered woman, but the Dems back handed attempt to give illegal aliens a temporary visa that lies with in the law.

I was wondering when the socialist left was going to get around to twisting this in to something that it's NOT!
