Colorado voters have spoken, and “don’t with my guns” is the
message.
The liberal nation is “stunned” by last
night’s heave ho of two heavily -funded Democratic state legislators in a
recall election brought about by a referendum on gun control.
Despite the Democrats misplaced emotional pleas after the
horror of shootings in Aurora, Colorado at the movie theater and the school
shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Coloradans have had enough.
The liberals waged war in their minds against the “evil” NRA.
The reality was that special interests tried to dominate the recall election –
liberal anti-gun special interest groups like Organizing for America and New
York Mayor Bloomberg’s group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG). The liberal
anti-gun groups out spent the other side a shocking 7 to 1.
Grassroots voters went to the polls in El Paso and Pueblo
Counties and summarily removed Senate President John Morse and state Sen.
Angela Giron from office. Pre-election wrangling included lawsuits filed on
behalf of both candidates – mail-in ballots were not allowed in the election as
a result of their lawsuits. And they still lost.
The ousted Democrats will be replaced by Republicans who
also appeared on the recall ballots. Former Colorado Springs city councilman Republican
Bernie Herpin will replace Sen. Morse and retired deputy Pueblo police chief Republican
George Rivera takes over the Giron’s State Senate seat.
This probably does not bode well for Colorado Governor Mr.
Hickenlooper’s election in 2014. The Governor signed the three gun-control
bills that triggered the recall drive in March.
The OBVIOUS precedent this startling and decisive action sets
is this – second amendment rights are taken very seriously by average folks
in the United States and the gun
rights matter is likely one of the few winning
conservative issues.
Moonbats tried to spin the election:
Rick Ridder, a Denver Democratic Strategist pretended the election results were merely
local issues and have nothing to do with the mood in the rest of the nation: “It is clear to me that there is a group of
activists that wanted to send a message about two people in two parts of the
state, and their support of gun legislation. Do I think it’s reflective of the
state? No. Do I think it’s reflective of the overall mood? No. Do I think
anyone should take anything out of this other than this could be a trend about
using recalls? That’s the only thing I could see as really national.”
Moonbat Colorado
Democrat Dickey Lee Hullinghorst said that
there is no reason to own a gun because the Colorado state Legislature keeps
citizens safe.
“As a woman, I have
the right not to carry a gun and to feel safe on the streets, and that’s what
we provide for in the state Legislature is for all of us in the state of
Colorado — to feel safe on the streets without having to carry a gun,” she said on “The Tim Caffrey Show.”
“The thought that the
only way we can protect ourselves is to wield our own weapon is completely
absurd and an argument that I absolutely discount as frivolous,” said Hullinghorst.
Moonbats in Colorado strike again. Ross Management who operates
the Oakwood apartment complex (a senior living facility) in Denver sent out a notice
to tenants instructing them to remove their “firearms and weapons” from their
property with one month to comply or find another place to live.
The Douglas County Housing Partnership held an emergency
board of directors meeting late yesterday and the Board members blocked the
policy which will not go into effect. The Douglas County Housing partnership actually
owns Oakwood Apartments in Castle Rock and contracted with Ross Management to
operate the units. The complex was purchased with federal funds and is
supported by local, state, and federal tax dollars.
According to the Douglas County Housing Partnership release:
"These community policy changes were distributed
without the knowledge or authorization of the Board of Directors of the Douglas
County Housing Partnership or its staff. This board does not support any action
that infringes on an individual's rights and will not allow Ross Management to
implement these changes. The mission of the Douglas County Housing partnership
is to preserve and develop safe, secure, quality housing while providing
housing choices for those who have few,"
The Denver Housing Authority wants to know if Ross
Management Group is trying to pull similar rogue gun bans in the city."It's
unconstitutional to prohibit the legal possession of a gun or a firearm on
public housing property," a DHA spokesperson said.
Ross Management has avoided the media entirely and has refused
to speak out about their now defunct policy. It has been suggested that the
owners are moonbat liberals, crusading against firearms - the company's owner,
Debi Ross, and her husband have given $9,000, only to Democrats, since 2006.
So it seems the Obama administration is using the same
foreign policy script in North Africa that it used in Mexico- declare the bad
guys defeated and secretly funnel them arms and cover it up.
In operation Fast & Furious, the Obama administration
went on a PR mission to stop the waste of the drug and (southern) border wars, announcing
that the “border was secure” despite the fact the Mexican drug cartel violence
was seeping into the United States with record-breaking numbers: murders, drug smuggling human trafficking
and kidnapping. Obama’s solution? Send thousands of untraceable new arms across
the border, make them available to the criminals and then cover up the fact
that it was a ploy to garner public support for gun control. This action
resulted in the deaths of two border agents and 300+ Mexican nationals.
This week, CNN exclusively reported that up to 35 CIA
operatives were in country working on a secret mission the night of the September
11 attack on the United States Consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi. The attack,
launched by al-Qaeda operatives was a deadly coordinated effort and resulted in
the death of the United States Ambassador to Libya, a state Department employee
and two CIA security agents.
CNN reported that the CIA is pressuring operatives in Libya
during the Benghazi attack to stay silent: "You have no idea the amount of
pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operations,"
said the unmade insider source.
Reading between the lines, It is has been surmised that the
CIA could have been working in coordination with the State Department to “secure
arms” left from the Gadhafi regime and then provide the same weapons to Syrian rebels (it turns out that our
contacts were most likely al-Qaeda operatives).
Secretary of State Clinton acknowledged in her testimony to
Congress: "One of the reasons that
we and other government agencies were present in Benghazi is exactly that. We
had a concerted effort to try to track down and find and recover as many
MANPADS [man-portable air defense systems], and other very dangerous weapons as
possible."
After the attack, the Obama administration immediately claimed
that the attack was a spontaneous uprising caused by an anti-Islamic video
produced in the U.S. and had also declared al-Qaeda “on the run” and “decimated.”
Lie after lie was told and heads began to roll. Commander of AFRICOM, General Carter
Ham mysteriously retired. We later learned that Ham, the 4-star general in
charge of all military assets in the area of Libya, was not contacted or brought in on the White House
preparations to plan against a potential 9/11 anniversary attack.
General David Petraeus, Director of the CIA resigned. Shepherd’s
Piehole has speculated on the politics, leverage and cover-up of the Petraeus dismissal
before. The fact that the CIA was conducting
a massive clandestine operation the night of September 11th in Benghazi ups the ante.
There is no doubt that former General Petraeus,
Director of the CIA, disagreed with the Obama administration over the Benghazi
aftermath talking points (the blueprint for the cover up). Petraeus was
probably also dismayed about the loss of CIA personnel ex -SEALS Tyrone Woods
and Glen Doherty who were in country reportedly as part of a mission to locate
and collect the 20,000 shoulder-held
missiles known as MANPADS (missing since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi). Now we
know Petraeus was conducting a large
mission with 35 persons and at least 7 were seriously injured that night.
Petraeus dutifully kept his mouth shut, sort of … despite
the fact that NY Representative Peter King noted differences in Petraeus
briefing testimony of September 14 and closed door testimony on November 15 –
after his resignation and after the presidential election.
The fact is that Petraeus has been a political animal for
years - part of the political military brass. Petraeus, like most high-profile
Generals, spent his career as part of a system that promotes using the theory
of “unnatural selection.” In the private sector, individualism and bucking the
system can get you rewarded. In the armed forces, this will get you demoted or
worse. Petraeus was paid to agree, to take the proverbial bullet and fall on
the sword. He gained notoriety based on a carefully -cultivated image equivalent
to that of Generals Colin Powell or Wesley Clark. Petraeus was certainly more polished than the
popular General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.
or General Tommy Franks. Generals like Petraeus spent their careers not
as whistleblowers, but as those who actively removed whistleblowers from their
ranks.
And, Petraeus had a secret: an extra-marital affair with
Paula Broadwell. It is simply too convenient to believe that Petraeus’ affair
with Broadwell started AFTER his stint as the Director of the CIA .
Harvard University
kicked Broadwell out of the PH.D program and she suddenly decided to turn her
thesis on Petraeus into a book? And she immediately made “several trips” to
Afghanistan in 2010 which, by her own admission, took their relationship to
“another level.”
Just as obvious as the timing of the start of the affair, is
the timing of its ending. Frankly there is no question their affair was over
PRIOR to May/June of 2012 when Broadwell, acting like a woman scorned, began
her anonymous email attacks against Jill Kelley. Broadwell was obviously hurt,
jealous and a little crazy.
It should also be obvious that General Petraeus was being
considered to be CIA Director months before his appointment in September of
2011. That means he was being vetted all along. Once Petraeus effectively
resigned from the U.S. Army, the Uniform Code of Military Justice no longer
applied to his career or clearance standards. As the pending Director of the
CIA, Petraeus could have done almost anything, provided he did not lie about it
during the interview process. Petraeus’ clearance standards changed. The FBI
did the background check; the President of the United States grants the clearance
to the future Director of the CIA. The CIA counter -intelligence would
certainly have known of the happy couples’ joint runs along the Potomac River
and Broadwell’s visits to Afghanistan. Chances are, Petraeus owned up to the
affair, ended it and it became a paragraph in his deep background file – known
to President Obama and most likely Hillary Clinton. Why is this important? Because Petraeus had a
weakness. A squelched affair.
Fast forward to the Benghazi attack. Petraeus was obviously
suffering from a bout of hubris, and had the poor judgment to go up against the
Obama administration (and by default Hillary) and combat their blue print for cover -up after Benghazi – the talking
points. Petraeus knew the truth and was a threat to expose the cover up. And to make matters worse, Petraeus had a
negative 5-year long history of being on the Clinton’s radar. He then became
the patsy for removal of truth from the talking points. This truth made him a
convenient scapegoat for Hillary and Obama. Once Petraeus resigned in shame
over the affair, his Benghazi testimony would be forever tarnished and no one
would listen if he came forward. The leverage the Clinton and Obama had would
pay off.
The problem is that you can’t keep a secret that big secret
for long.
Many questions remain. What were 35 CIA operatives doing in
Benghazi? What was Ambassador Steven’s role in what they were doing? Who launched
the attack and why?
U.S. immigration bill proposals to secure our southern
border have sparked “outrage” in Mexico. Apparently, increasing the number of U.S. Border Patrol agents, completing the fence and drone guards upset Mexicans. News
outlets and politicians are claiming that the United States securing its border
would constitute a “human rights violation,” while some of the more measured responses like Mexico’s former foreign minister, Jorge
Castañeda, said the increase of
Border Patrol agents is an “unfriendly act” and a “very negative reform for
Mexico and the United States.”
The reality is that Mexico sees that securing the border
could cause economic problems for the third world nation. Money transfers from
Mexican immigrants working in the United States to relatives back in Mexico reached
record proportions. The transfers (“remittances “) are Mexico's second-largest
source of income, behind oil exports (the U.S. also happens to buy about 60% of
Mexico’s oil).
Mexico refuses to acknowledge that the porous borders have
allowed for infiltration of the drug cartels into the United States causing a
shocking increase in human and weapons trafficking,
as well as providing Middle Eastern terrorists untraceable access the U.S. (according
to the DHS). The U.S. Border Patrol had captured thousands of people crossing
the border who were classified “Other Than Mexican.” More than 1,000 were from designated
terrorist nations like Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Somalia and Afghanistan with ties to
al-Qaeda, Hezbollah and Hamas.
Academics and politicians in Mexico have suggested
retaliation against the United States - kicking out U.S. intelligence officials
and American retirees.
Lizz Winstead
commented on Texas Governor Rick Perry’s farsighted veto of the ridiculous Texas
equal pay bill, HB 950.
Winstead, you
may recall, made fun of the Oklahoma tornado and its victims back in May with
several statements on Twitter joking that the tornado bumped her from MSNBC and
that Obama must have sent it. The same tornado that killed 24 people, hurt 377,
and destroyed 1,150 homes. Funny.
Meanwhile
Winstead wrote this:
“Rick Perry : He Will
Pay Cut A Bitch. Yep. First it was cuts to affordable healthcare, then cuts to
affordable childcare, and now by vetoing the Texas Equal Pay Act, Rick Perry
has pretty much destroyed affordable everything. But all is not lost. There
still is a bit of freedom left for the women of Texas. As long as this Dollar
Store George Bush is governor, you will always get to carry a gun to your
transvaginal probe.”
Just hilarious. Except that Texas is THE most successful state in the
union with fewer people having to collect unemployment than any other state in
the union and where the free market has made Texas repeatedly named in the top
1% of “most affordable states to live in.” But why tell the truth, Lizz?
Perry vetoed the ridiculous Ledbetter bill because it is horrible policy
and will ultimately cost women more if enacted. The bill has nothing to do with "equal pay" but the right to sue your employer for wage discrimination. It
allows for retroactive back compensation, liability to “accrue” and an
extension for the statue of limitations. Insane. We already have federal law
that prohibits discrimination. This is merely a legal money grab at employers
so that - tort reform of the WORST kind. Unfair and unreasonable.
In his veto
statement posted online Friday evening, Perry said he objected to the bill
because it "duplicates federal law, which already allows employees who
feel they have been discriminated against through compensation to file a claim
with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." He also said he
was concerned that it could lead to more regulations and hurt job creation.
Texas Senator John Cornyn (R) proposed an amendment to the
Gang of 8 immigration bill which would strengthen border security.
Senator McCain immediately went on the offense, insulting
Cornyn and claiming that, "It's not possible for us to support [Cornyn's]
amendment as it is presently written. It's a poison pill."
Of course, Senator Majority Leader Dirty Harry Reid and
Chuck Schumer agree with McCain. Schumer called Cornyn’s amendment "preposterous."
Once done with the name-calling, Schumer and McCain then
went on a rampage making patently false statements about their own bill and
misrepresenting Cornyn’s amendment:
McCain and Schumer claimed incorrectly that the
amendment would bring 10,000 more Border Patrol agents to the U.S. border with
Mexico while discussing the measure on the Senate floor. It would only add
5,000.
Schumer also claimed that “under my colleague
from Texas' proposal, not one single person could achieve citizenship.” Untrue.
The amendment would institute a trigger that, after the border has been
certifiably secured and several other criteria have been met, illegal
immigrants could apply to transition from Registered Provisional Immigration
(RPI), or legalized status, to Legal Permanent Resident (LPR), a green card. Cornyn's
amendment does not prevent illegal immigrants from eventually gaining citizenship;
it makes simply makes citizenship conditional on the border being secured,
something Gang of 8 members have claimed all along their bill would achieve.
When it came to the cost and money disbursement
part of the Cornyn amendment, Schumer again had to come up with a series of
lies in order to discredit the Cornyn amendment. “It is estimated it would be
in the original amendment as much as $25 billion,” said Schumer said. Later Schumer
lied again and claimed $18 billion. In actuality, the Cornyn amendment would
appropriate $6.5 billion to border security--the same amount the Gang of 8 bill
does already.
Cornyn's amendment would add to those triggers
by broadening security requirements. While the Gang of 8 would require 90
percent apprehension of border-crossers and full operational security in
high-traffic areas of the border, Cornyn's amendment would extend those
requirements to the entire border. The Gang of 8 bill includes a pilot program
for biometric entry and exit systems in airports, but Cornyn's amendment
requires biometric systems in all airports and seaports before the path to
citizenship can open. It would also call for 5,000 additional Border Patrol
agents.
According to an Agence France Press analysis of U.S. State
Department figures, possibly more than 648 American citizens were murdered in
Mexico from 2002-2012. This statistic is more than 40% of the approximately 1,600
American victims worldwide during that same decade.
More U.S. citizens were murdered in Mexico than were killed
in world-wide “terrorist actions.” Of the
648 American murders south of the border, 511 occurred between 2006 and 2012,
with most homicides taking place in border regions. Border regions are plagued
by astronomical amounts of violence perpetrated by the competing drug cartels. Tijuana
had 130 murders and Ciudad Juarez 120
deaths.
More Americans have been murdered in Mexico than in any other
part of the world in the past decade, and yet the Gang of 8 is proposing amnesty without adequately sealing our borders from the deadly threat.
