YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.

It is something to see Ole Perfesser Instapundit go for plausible deniability:
I DIDN’T SEE THE PRESS CONFERENCE, but reader Theo X. Rojo writes: “I’m very proud of my membership in the NRA as a ‘Life Member.’ I thought Mr. LaPierre hit it out of the park today.”
Maybe before he can endorse it, he has to watch Kindergarden Cop and see how it all works out.

The weirdest bit, though, is this:
UPDATE: Jeffrey Goldberg: “Reporters on my Twitter feed seem to hate the NRA more than anything else, ever.” I think there’s a race/class angle to that.
Race/class angle? Does he think most journalists are black? Not bloody likely. Or does he think his opponents have been mongrelized?

If you're wondering why our moderate Republican President is doing so well in the polls, look no further.

    LaPierre is a ghoul. His delivery was completely without affect, his statements patently false. I mean, he could say "“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" without doing any research? I'd type out what I think LaPierre deserves, but I don't want the Yonkers PD to show up at Casa di Bastard. I'll let Hanover Fist editorialize on this one.

    I have this feeling that today's press conference will turn out to be a Schiavo Moment.
    Also, too: I finally posted about the gun stuff at my shitty blog, 3weirdsisters, though probably my Christmas post featuring a David Sedaris reading is more enjoyable.

    Considering the source, he may believe that the race/class angle is the press' tacit hostility toward cyborgs.

    I think it's simple. Goldstein's seen accusations of racism and/or discrimination 'work' for liberals in terms of gaining public sympathy, and, power-seeking little git that he is, is seeing if he can use it for his own purposes. Never mind that the context is totally ludicrous. (Gun industry lobbyists as a protected class! Scary thing is that at least 3 SC Justices would probably but it.)

    I hope so. I watched the entire thing in real-time and thought "WTF is this dipshit talking about?" as he blamed everything from video games to the media to unarmed school teachers for this massacre, and apparently the free and easy access to assualt weapons had nothing to do with it. He literally insulted and blamed the media to it's face, even more so than the killer himself, daring them to respond.



    I'm anxious to see what the response will be.

    Here's more of LaPierre's monstrousness- he wants to create a national registry of the mentally ill, rather than a national registry of firearms?

    A dozen more killers, a hundred more? How can we possibly even guess how many, given our nation’s refusal to create an active national database of the mentally ill? The fact is this: That wouldn’t even begin to address the much larger, more lethal criminal class -- killers, robbers, rapists, gang members who have spread like cancer in every community across our nation.

    The vast majority of the mentally ill don't pose a threat to others- they are much more likely to be the victims of violence than the perps. LaPierre is suggesting something which would be a gross violation of HIPAA standards, and an avenue to discrimination against people who need help and support.
    Grrr... I hate this creep.

  18. No, according to the definition provided in law by the expiredFederal Assault Weapons Ban , the term "assault weapon" includes classes of semi-automatics - you miserably ignorant piece of shit:

    Criteria of an assault weapon

    Assault weapon (semi-automatic) refers primarily (but not exclusively) to firearms that possess the cosmetic features of an assault rifle (which are fully-automatic). Actually possessing the operational features, such as 'full-auto', is not required for classification as an assault weapon; merely the possession of cosmetic features is enough to warrant such classification as an assault weapon. Semi-automatic firearms, when fired, automatically extract the spent cartridge casing and load the next cartridge into the chamber, ready to fire again; they do not fire automatically like a machine gun; rather, only one round is fired with each trigger pull.[2]
    In the former U.S. law, the legal term assault weapon included certain specific semi-automatic firearm models by name (e.g., Colt AR-15, TEC-9, non-select-fire AK-47sproduced by three manufacturers, and Uzis) and other semi-automatic firearms

  41. Conservative federal judge makes a play in an editorial: bring back an assault weapons ban - on steroids:

    Bring back the assault weapons ban, and bring it back with some teeth this time. Ban the manufacture, importation, sale, transfer and possession of both assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Don't let people who already have them keep them. Don't let ones that have already been manufactured stay on the market. I don't care whether it's called gun control or a gun ban. I'm for it.

    Yep. Pass a law that gives people until a certain date to turn them in to local law enforcement in return for fair market value payment. Fine the shit out of anyone found in possession of one of them after that date. Say a fine of no less than $10,000. If an unsurrendered, now illegal weapon is used in committing a crime, apply both the fine and a jail term with a minimum 1-2 years. Pay for the buyback program by requiring registration of all firearms, with a registration fee.

  49. Deniability indeed, implausible though it is. Reynolds could have easily watched the video online, but chose not to, I'm assuming so he can avoid discussing any particulars. Sorta like he claimed he was against torture but outraged by the 'sanctimony' of torture opponents (including actual interrogators). Many a conservative (Coulter, Jonah Goldberg) likes this tactic - they want credit for being edgy and politically incorrect while simultaneously disavowing all responsibility for what they say. It's gutless. Reynolds' style is less mob lawyer than mob witness.

    You don't even have to do research. It's just obviously false-- plenty of things besides a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun. A sneaky guy with a knife can stop a bad guy with a gun. A martial arts expert with his bare hands or a trained Bengali Tiger-- those can all stop a bad guy with a gun. A really bad cold can stop a bad guy with a gun. A blast wall can stop a bad guy with a gun. A robot can stop a bad guy with a gun. A guy who isn't really good or bad, but subscribes to a code of honor that requires that he finish the job once he's accepted it, give him a gun and he can definitely stop a bad guy with a gun. The Hulk only gets more powerful when shot by bad guys with guns.

    Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?

    Here is a little test that will help you decide.

    You're walking down a

    deserted street with your wife

    and two small children.

    Suddenly, an Islamic

    Terrorist with a huge knife

    comes around the corner,

    locks eyes with you,

    screams obscenities, praises

    Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you...

    You are carrying a

    Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.

    You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family..

    What do you do?

    Democrat's Answer:

    Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!

    Does the man look poor or oppressed?

    Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

    Could we run away?

    What does my wife think?

    What about the kids?

    Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

    What does the law say about this situation?

    Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?

    Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

    Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

    Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

    If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

    Should I call 9-1-1?

    Why is this street so deserted?

    We need to raise taxes, have “Paint & Weed Day”;

    Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

    I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

    This is all so confusing!

    Retired Marine and former Pan Am/Delta Pilot John Lovell is Top Gun at Subway sandwich shop..!

    Plantation, Florida: Last week police were called to investigate an attempted armed robbery: The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, Florida, Subway shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former helicopter pilot for two presidents. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, and he works out every day. Mr.. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night.

    According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at 1949 N. Pine Rd. just after 11 p.m. There was a lone diner, Mr. Lovell, who was finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Mr. Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well. They got his money, but then Mr. Lovell pulled his handgun and opened fire. He shot one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head.

    When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop, K-9 Units found the other in the bushes of a nearby business. They also found cash strewn around the front of the sandwich shop according to Detective Robert Rettig of the Plantation Police Department..

    Both men were taken to the Broward General Medical Center, where one, Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale died. The other, 21-year-old Frederick Gadson of Fort Lauderdale is in critical but stable condition.

    Mr. Lovell was a pilot in the Marine Corps, flying former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He later worked as a pilot for Pan Am and Delta Airlines.

    He is not expected to be charged authorities said. ''He was in fear for his life,'' Detective Rettig said, "These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds and aren't intimidated by idiots."

    Something tells me this old Marine wasn't 'in fear for his life', even though his life was definitely at risk. The only thing he could be charged with is participating in an unfair fight. One 71- year young Marine against two punks. Two head shots and one center body mass shot.

    Outstanding shooting! That'll teach them not to get between a Marine and his meal.

    Florida law allows eligible citizens to carry a concealed weapon. Don't you just love a story with a happy ending?

    I just love a story with a "Happy ending" !!!

    According to a news report, a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

    Every night the maintenance man would remove them; and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally, the principal, Sister Mary, decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian, who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).

    To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, Sister Mary asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.
    Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

    There are teachers...... And then there are educators!

    Father - Daughter Talk
    A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so
    many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal
    Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of
    higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words,
    redistribution of wealth.

    She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican,
    a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had
    participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that
    her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what
    he thought should be his.

    One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes
    on the rich and the need for more government programs. The
    self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the
    truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she
    was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she
    had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that
    she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying,
    which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew.
    She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many
    college friends because she spent all her time studying.

    Her father listened then asked, 'How is your friend Audrey doing?'
    She replied, 'Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy
    classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. But she is so
    very popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited
    to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for
    classes because she's too hung over.'
    Her father asked her, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him
    to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend Audrey, who only
    has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that
    would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.

    The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired
    back, 'That's a crazy idea. How would that be fair? I've worked really
    hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.
    Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I
    worked my tail off!'

    The father slowly smiled, winked, and said gently, 'Welcome to the
    Republican Party.'

  72. It's pretty apparent to anyone paying attention that the NRA doesn't give a shit about the 2nd Amendment, nor does the organization care about the health and welfare of human beings--they are a bought and paid for lobby group for the international arms industry. I don't know the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that Murika is a HUGE market, probably right up there with crazy dictators and countries perpetually in civil war (instigated by same arms dealers).

    The best bet on the profile of a mass murderer in the USA is an angry white man or an angry adolescent male with high-powered guns and an insane number of bullets. Put a little extra on misogynist and racist and you could have a very sweet holiday season at the end of the year.


    Angry white misogynist, racist men with arsenals preparing for the invasion of the swarthy hordes they so fear or what-the-fuck-ever; and we'll all be damned if the NRA isn't making sure there are as many powerful weapons as possible--- on all sides--- with as many people as possible being armed for real and imagined threats with weapons that only make sense on a battlefield or on a SWAT team that has to deal with the angry misogynist, racist white men and boys who don't feel "safe" unless they can commit commando mass murder with as little effort as it takes to carry their light-weight semi-automatics and a few banana clips.

Your liberal character just sounds like a whiny, jealous girl instead of the heroic, hardworking, deserving girl you want her to be. Your republican dad sounds like an idiot for suggesting, out of no where, that she gives some of her GPA to someone else; nevermind that it's not even a possible thing to do. Instead he should have just told his daughter that who cares if the popular, pretty girl has a lower GPA, he'll pull some strings to make sure his daughter gets a job with a great company bilking the spenthrift federal government.

    If you're wondering why our moderate Republican President is doing so well in the polls, look no further.



    I thought LaPierre's problem was interesting. He sure didn't have to go into hiding for five days to come up with that speech. Unlike the Republican primary, his money people and red-meat yahoos are on the same page; it's the moderates, the honest sportsmen who've gone along for the ride, the ones who now get to see pictures of gunned-down six-year-olds he needed to worry about. And instead he went full-metal Waco.

    Since the troll is supplying so many fanfics, I thought I'd add one of my own:

    "A Patriot's Priorities" starring Rush Limbaugh!


    The title, in a red-white-and-blue font, is displayed over the image of an American flag waving in a gentle breeze.

    Scene: The Fat One and a masked goon carrying a machine gun are standing in front of an American flag draped across a podium.

    Goon: "We, the United Federation of Terrorists hereby issue the following proclamation: We shall blow up a school bus filled with nuns and orphans if this man (he points at Limbaugh) doesn't shit upon the American flag within the next 3 minutes."

    Fatso: "Pah! Never, Sir! The Tree of Liberty shall be watered with the blood of innocents a hundred times over before I'll defile the Flag with such perfidy! I defy you to the last, Sir, as any Patriot would!"

    Goon (consults a cell phone): "Well then, we shall blow up a hospital of veterans and retired soldiers if you do not do as we say within the next (consults watch) two minutes."

    Fatso: Hah! Never! Kill hundreds, thousands, millions if you must! Not one blob of filth shall stain Old Glory!"

    Goon: "Your time's running out."


    Fatso: "You think to intimidate ME? I am a true Patriot! Kill millions upon millions, torture them to death if need be! I have my priorities straight!"


    Goon (listens to cell phone again): "All right, then. If you do not comply within the remaining time, then we'll simply kill you."


    Fatso: "Yes, kill billions upon billions if necessary! That is an acceptable price to pay for...uh, wait a minute. What did you just say?"


    Goon: "The new target chosen, if you don't comply within the remaining time, is you...and only you."


    Fatty gapes stupidly for a beat of 2 to 3 seconds before yanking his trousers down and squatting over the flag.


    Fatso: "Wait! Look! I'm a-shittin'! I'm a-shittin'! See? SEE!?!?"


    Goon (consults watch): "Too bad, you ran out of time."


    Fatso: "No! Wait! Can't you see? I'm wiping my huge, enormous, fat sweaty ass on it!"


    Goon (aims gun): "Nice try."


    Fatso (crying hysterically, snot dripping on his face): No, I beg of you! Please allow me to suck your cock!"


    He is violently cut to ribbons by machine gun fire.


    "The End" is displayed over the same flag as the opening title, except the flag wavering in the breeze is now stained with fresh blood and is riddled with bullet holes!

    What has America become????

    Has America become the land of special interest and home of the
    double standard? Let's see: If we lie to the Congress, it's a felony
    and if Congress lies to us it's just politics. If we dislike a black person,
    we're a racist and if a black dislikes whites, it's their 1st Amendment
    right. The government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and
    they do almost nothing for the victims. In public schools you can teach
    that homosexuality and lesbianism is ok, but you better not use the
    word God in the process. You can murder a child in the mothers womb,
    but it's wrong to execute a mass murderer. We don't burn books in
    America, we now rewrite them. We got rid of the communist & socialist
    threat by renaming them progressives. If you protest against Obama's
    policies you're a terrorist, but if you burn an American flag or George
    Bush in effigy, it's your 1st Amendment right.

    You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not
    put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas. In America,
    criminals are now called sick people. The government takes money
    from those who work hard & gives it to those who are lazy. Parenting
    has been replaced with Ritalin & video games. The land of opportunity
    is now the land of hand outs.

    And how do we handle a major crisis today? The Government
    appoints a committee to determine who's at fault, then threatens
    them, passes a law, raises our taxes, then tells us the problem is
    solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.

    A United States Marine was taking some college courses
    between assignments. He had completed 20 missions in Iraq
    and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who
    was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU.

    One day the Harvard professor shocked the class when he came in.
    He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "GOD, if you are real, then
    I want you to knock me off this platform... I'll give you exactly 15 min."
    The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes
    went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am GOD, I'm still waiting."

    It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got
    out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him;
    knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

    The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently.
    The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there
    looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to,
    noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked,
    "What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

    The Marine calmly replied,
    "GOD was too busy today protecting America's
    soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid
    stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me."

    The classroom erupted in cheers!

    A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

    The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

    She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
    "I am," replied the man from Texas. "How did you know?"
    "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

    The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
    "I am," replied the balloonist. "But how did you know?"

    "Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.

I do fear the evildoers, for thou talkst about them constantly. Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy deficit spending They do discomfort me.

    A lady bought a new Lexus & it cost a bundle. Two days later, she brought it back, complaining that the radio was not working.

    "Madam," said the sales manager, "the audio system in this car is completely automatic. All you need to do is tell it what you want to listen to, and you will hear exactly that!"

    She drove out, somewhat amazed and a little confused. She looked at the radio and said, "Nelson." The radio responded, "Ricky or Willie?" She was astounded. If she wanted Beethoven, that's what she got. If she wanted Nat King Cole, she got it.

    She was stopped at a traffic light enjoying "On The Road Again" when the light turned green and she pulled out. Suddenly an enormous sports utility vehicle coming from the street she was crossing sped toward her, obviously not paying attention to the light. She swerved and narrowly missed a collision.

    The question which has gripped our nation is whether Barack Obama is eligible to be President and Commander in Chief. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 provides that: “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.” The proper question under this clause is not whether Obama is a “Citizen of the United States.” Rather, the correct question is whether Obama is a “natural born Citizen” thereunder.
    “It cannot be presumed that any clause in the constitution is intended to be without effect, and therefore such construction is inadmissible unless the words require it….” Marbury v. Madison. 5 U.S. 137, 174 (1803). In other words, the “natural born Citizen” clause of Article II must be given independent effect from the “citizen of the United States” clause of Article II itself and of the Fourteenth Amendment. All Presidents must qualify as Article II “natural born Citizens,” not as Fourteenth Amendment “citizens of the United States.” The two clauses have different and distinct meanings or they would not have their own independent life in the Constitution. Article II says “natural born Citizen” and the Fourteenth Amendment says “citizen of the United States.” If being a “citizen of the United States” had the same exact effect as being a “natural born citizen,” then the “natural born Citizen” clause would have no effect. Such a construction is not admissible. If we were not to give special meaning to the words “natural born” and conclude that “natural born Citizen” and “citizen of the United States” mean the same thing, the words “natural born” in the “natural born Citizen” clause of Article II would be superfluous. Our Supreme Court has consistently expressed “a deep reluctance to interpret a statutory provision so as to render superfluous other provisions in the same enactment.” Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare v. Davenport, 495 U.S. 552, 110 S.Ct. 2126, 2133, 109 L.Ed.2d 588 (1990); International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, Uaw v. Johnson Controls, Inc, 499 U.S. 187, 111 S.Ct. 1196, 1204, 113 L.Ed.2d 158 (1991) . Hence, we have to give special meaning to the words “natural born.”

    Sure, on top of fulfilling it's requisite duties and technical wizardry, military service is a great way to keep a lot of people who can hardly function on their own--- especially the functionally illiterate (to fill grunt rolls) --- off the streets. I'll give it that.

    IOW, much of the military is in large part a welfare system and for many a stepping stone out of their dysfunctional families/local economies, and then for some of those, a stepping stone to a better life as a well-rounded adult who has lived and worked with American from all walks of life and maybe has lived in other parts of the world.

And then he sent a marine to violate that same right? Is the joke here that God's behavior is totally irrational and his authority comes entirely from brute force, in contrast to the professor who still has faith in reason? It's sort of a tragic joke on what ultimately has power in this world.

    Or maybe the joke is that the sort of asshole who goes around punching people in classrooms is the type who would give completely incoherent rationalizations for behaving like a violent fuckwad.

As for your point that there are not enough "crazy dictators and countries perpetually in civil war (instigated by same US arms dealers)" to get within 10% of the Murican market - the only country with a higher absolute gun homicide rate is Mexico, but on a per capita basis, you guys still win. I wonder where the Mexicans get their arms?

    An Irish Democrat, a Republican violinist, and a Southern rabbi walk into a bar, which has been built on the deserted island they have been stranded on. They each order different, telling drinks, and start discussing their wives. This is only a fragment of their rich, detailed lives. It can't be used to make sweeping generalisations about them. In the end, the Republican says, while his wife has many amusing foibles, he's glad for her existence every day; she continues to bring his life joy and he hopes he can do the same for her. The Democrat and rabbi applaud the sentiment, despite both being amusingly, flamboyantly gay.


    Then a regular patron comes in and shoots all three of them, and when the bartender returns fire, innocent bystanders are wounded in the crossfire!


    The punchline is that very few situations become better when you add guns. It's funny, but not ha-ha funny.

    More to the point, it's a meaningless argument. If someone packing heat stops a shooting, more often then not they're someone who's trained and licensed to carry and use deadly force -- a cop, a security guard, something like that. There's a big difference between that and some random schmo with a gun in his pocket.

    Revelation 20

    1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand ofthe sea. 9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

    11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    Wrong, Raymond. Here are the vital statistics for your nation:

    The details elude me, but some years back, either during the 2000 or 2004 election campaign (I forget which), there was a particularly stupid troll who was spamming the commentary sections of liberal blogs with lengthy posts that claimed to be quotes from the Democratic Presidential nominee. As I said, I forget exactly which election this was, but the would-be smear job would have obviously targeted either Gore or Kerry, neither of whom I have much fondness for (especially Kerry). But in any event: The quotes supplied by this particular asshole were actually real. And they were all genuinely idiotic, the products of a stupefyingly feeble brain. Most of them were pretty famous (or infamous, more like), and were quite well known. But they hadn't been uttered by whichever centrist conservative empty suit the Dems were nominating that year, and whom that jackass of a troll was attempting to shit on.



    No, they were all quotes from either Dan Quayle or George W. Bush.


    It struck me as truly remarkable that this pimplebrain of a troll was trying to dump all over the nominated Democrat that year by attributing quotes to him that were all very well known and were actually "witticisms" from two of the most notorious blockheads of the past 20 years from his own side of the political aisle. And further, that this cretin apparently thought he was being fiendishly clever by doing so. It was all just so fucking pathetic, you know? Arguing in bad faith is one thing, but when you get down to this level of empty, childish, easily-disprovable posturing, it really amounts to nothing more than white noise in the background. "Palatable" really has nothing to do with it, and neither does "plausible" or "rational." At this level, the simpletons are simply rolling around in pools of their own filth, screeching for attention.


    Much in the way this nitwit pretending to be a marine is doing.

    DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?

    Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!

    Make a personal reflection about this.......

    Very interesting, read until the end......

    It is Written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7)

    'Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
    For whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap...
    Here are only some men and women who mocked God:





    John Lennon (Singer)
    Some years before, during his interview with
    An American Magazine, he said:
    Christianity will end, it will disappear.
    I do not have to argue about that...
    I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects
    were too simple, today we are more famous than Him" (1966).
    Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ,
    Was shot six times.






    Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil)
    During The Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes
    From his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
    Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President,
    Then he died.






    Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian
    Composer, singer and poet)
    During a show in Canecio (Rio de Janeiro),
    While smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some
    smoke into the air And said: "God, that's for you."
    He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.





    The man who built the Titanic.
    After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the
    Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"
    The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.





    Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
    She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
    He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
    After hearing what the Preacher had to say, She said:
    "I don't need your Jesus".
    A week later, She was found dead in her apartment.





    Bon Scott (Singer)
    The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
    "Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell".
    On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been
    choked by his own vomit.







    Campinas (IN 2005)
    In Campinas , Brazil , a group of friends, drunk,
    Went to pick up a friend......

    The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness
    of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:

    "My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You."
    She responded: "Only If He (God) travels In the trunk, cause inside here..... It's already full."
    Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
    the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
    The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the
    trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.





    Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
    said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book
    ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond
    recognition in her motor vehicle.

    Many more important people have forgotten that there is no
    other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
    Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

    Lets combine the best of all suggestions: unpaid armed guards with unpaid gun rushers. Maybe the trick is to enforce an Unarmed NRA battalion of gun rushers--the NRA gives us their list of local members and those members volunteer (cough cough) to stand around the schools and rush any shooters, barehanded, that stop by to shoot the children. Surely all those patriots would be more than willing to pay for their right to bear arms unimpeded by serving as human shields?

    Oh, yes, der Instapundit's intimation that liberal media Ivy league reporters don't like the NRA because they think it's mostly composed of crackers in overalls.



    This is, of course, a typical Glenn Reynolds bushwhacking in the making. Once someone takes the bait, the Instapundit springs, drags down his prey, and with his Glock in the face of the hapless rhetorical victim, announces triumphally, "I am the NRA, and I'm an erudite pundit with a state university sinecure!"


    Which leaves us with Raymond, who continues to lament that overalls are not generally available in camo print.
