Rhode Island Atty Gen = Grinch

The Rhode Island state government, in the person of the Attorney General, who’s behind this program to destroy kids toy guns.

Feel safer now? Feel powerful now that you are manipulating kids, AG?

Can you just wrap yourself in the pathetic lapse of idiocy? Or, you did that already, yes? Yes. Looks like.

Sheesh. For Christmas yet. Tell me, AG, how much of taxpayer money did you waste on this effort to mess up children’s minds?
Come on, the voting taxpayers want to know.

January 2011 Cannot Come Soon Enough

And the reason? (Or, reasons – but here is just one.)

Watch out: More Obama union pay-offs in the works
By Michelle Malkin • December 20, 2010 12:18 PM

They want our money, all of it – it looks like.

Also, as of 1:00pm news today, it appears there may be enough votes to pass the START bill.

UPDATEx2: Idiocy Knows No Bounds

DHS Head Jammit Napolitano now claims a burning need to battle climate change as a security issue.

Who told her to jump out of the frying pan? Or, into it? What does temperature have to do with Homeland Security?
I mean, other than raising the heat under our collars????

Hint: Try collaring the bad guys and illegal aliens, Jammit.

UPDATE: What a load of crapola. I call BULL.

UPDATEx2: Apparently, Jammit just doesn’t get it. Her job that is. Here’s why – the family of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry slammed DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano during the funeral of their son who was murdered while protecting the Arizona border, Tuesday evening Dec. 14, 2010. And Jammit’s response? Utterly despicable.

UPDATE: Christian Reservations

According to the Federal Reserve examiners that visited Perkins, Oklahoma and deemed a Bible verse of the day, crosses on the teller’s counter and buttons that say “Merry Christmas, God With Us.” were inappropriate.

Excuse me, but the Federal Reserve has not the authority to do this. At least, if they truly understood the First Amendment. It says:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

And last I heard, Federal Reserve, there is NO LAW telling you that you can do what you did to that bank.

UPDATE: Apparently, they got the message and let the bank put back their Christmas ornamentation. Never underestimate the social power of the internet. Explains why some want to regulate it. Oops. Did I say that out loud?

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Isn’t TSA supposed to prevent someone from bringing a loaded gun on a plane after going through Security?

You’d think, right? Well, the traveling businessman apparently didn’t realize he had his (ahem) loaded weapon in his carry-on until after he got to his destination and unpacked in the hotel.

By the way, those of you who don’t mind what TSA does to you in the name of your safety, how do you feel about this now?

UPDATE: Nuclear Winter

Can you believe it’s – now?

Senate GOP leaders take heat over millions of dollars in earmarks

Thune and Cornyn faced a barrage of hostile questions about their earmarks by reporters from NPR, ABC News and NBC News.

“Going through this bill, there is earmark after earmark from the both of you, millions of dollars in earmarks from the two of you and from other senators,” ABC’s Jonathan Karl told Cornyn and Thune. “How do you have any credibility on this? Why do you have earmarks?”

And slowing the vote by reading the entire START treaty (heh):

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on Wednesday blasted Republican opposition to the New START nuclear arms treaty, calling it a “new low in putting political stunts ahead of our national security.”

Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-S.C.) call to read the entire treaty on the Senate floor in an effort to delay the ratification was described by Gibbs as “the height of hypocrisy.”

“While some express concern that the Senate doesn’t have time to debate the treaty, Sen. DeMint wants to waste 12 hours to read the text of a treaty that has been available to every member of the Senate and the public for more than eight months,” Gibbs said.

UPDATE: Sen. Jim DeMint backs down from reading the START Treaty document ….. man up, Jim.

Congress Job Disapproval At 83 Percent

Which means, their approval rating is at 13 percent.

This is according to the most recent Gallup poll published today.
What’s more, since October, the approval rating for Democrats went from 38 to 16 percent.
Down by half.

Merry Christmas, dolts. We now have the worst Congress on record, so far.
And the year isn’t even over yet.

$1.1T Spending Bill Oinking Its Way to the Floor

Tomorrow. Wednesday. The Ides of December.

This is the funding for the monstrosity known as Obamacare. It is ladeen with Pork, aka earmarks (as I heard on the Sean Hannity raadio show this day around 4 to 5pm). I agree with Don Surber’s post about Boehner’s call to the POTUS to veto it.

Crank up the phone lines, folks, this is the flip the Congress is giving us for Christmas because of our rising interest and activism in our Republic Government.

It is no coincidence that this is coming on the heels of Federal Judge Henry Hudson’s ruling about individuals having to purchase insurance (when the Commerce Clause in the US Constitution does not, and never did, claim regulating commerce extends beyond the state level).

Congress wants to send us a message? Well, pick up the phone and send them one also.

Other sites on this issue:
Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, Gateway Pundit

Hot Air shows an update that indicates the earmark count is now near 6,500 earmarks in all totaling $8.3 billion in all, at least.
When the POTUS first bragged about Congress passing the Healthcare (Obamacare) bill, he expressed happiness that they “included no earmarks.” Okay, POTUS, now is the time to express your dissatisfaction by breaking out the veto pen from its mothball status.

From Michelle Malkin’s article:
One commenter, who picked a page at random (877), found that the bill has designated $350 million to create a new “San Francisco Bay Restoration Program.” Others have noted that $413,000 have been appropriated for peanut research in the deep South and nearly $250,000 for virus free wine grapes in Washington State…

Remember this?

A Disappointment of Representation

Can’t say I am thrilled about Rep. Steny Hoyer winning re-election.
Now, even moreso after reading this –

Hoyer: Opponents’ Tactics ‘Poisonous to Our Future’

Video at the link.

At least he’s up for re-election again in two years …….

TSA Outrageousness

I received the following from a friend this evening.

If you fly for business or pleasure, you should listen to this interview.
——
This is a link to the Jim Bohannon Radio Show from last night (12/6/2010)….just advance the arrow all the way over to 1:20:00 and hear Karen Feld’s horror story of dealing with the TSA. This happened in June 2010 at the Baltimore-Washington Airport.

UPDATE: And recently, this woman was arrested after refusing the “enhanced pat down.”
A question. At what point is a law a bad law? And when will the American public demand their rights to bodily privacy?
