Hot Air has an excellent article and a video by FreedomWorks depicting current events and government policies against the backdrop of the just released movie, Atlas Shrugs Part 1.
At the moment, there are only three locations here in Maryland showing the movie. If you live in or near Annapolis, Gaithersburg or Bethesda, you have better luck than most of us to go see it.
There just might be more theaters showing this movie, if we are lucky.

Out and out thievery, breaking and entering, vandalism.
On Thursday Wisconsin conservatives announced that they had collected enough signatures 15,000 to recall fleebagger Senator Dave Hansen of Green Bay. Vandals broke into a Wisconsin political office late Thursday or Friday morning and ripped off the fleebagger recall petitions.
Think the Rule of Law will be upheld here if the perps are caught? Think the signature lists were destroyed?
Think this was organized?
UPDATE: Well, well, it looks like the crooks were caught. Thank God they weren’t too bright, huh? But what they did with the stolen data was absolutely disgusting .

Parts of that illegal immigration law – by the 9th Circuit Appeals Court. Imagine my surprise.
At least now this issue just may step up into the realm for SCOTUS involvement.
And ABC News seems to agree. However, an excerpt:
A central provision of the law requires police officers to ask for immigration papers if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person they have stopped, detained or arrested is in the country illegally.
Sounds suspiciously just like the 287G program that County Sheriffs enter into withe I.C.E.
So it sounds to me that Arizona has replicated that program to be workable for the state.
I fail to see a problem here, that is, other than the blatant poliitics on the part of DOJ.
Now can we say this is an illegal, warrantless search against all forms of common sense in the U.S.A.??????
UPDATE: TSA defends this.
Yeah? How about – keep your filthy hands off my kids! They are too small for burqas and too small to hide anythng.

It is important. Just ask Amanda Collins.
Better yet, read what happened to her and the next victim after her.
She has a good head on her shoulders.
“I don’t understand why (the state) trusts good, responsible people to be able to have their firearm across the street, and as soon as they cross an arbitrary line, they somehow lose all reason and ability to be able to be competent with that responsibility. It makes no sense to me at all.”
I hope it stays there.

Regarding the Thuggery in Wisconsin, and elsewhere.
Make no mistake: The knock-down, drag-out battle in Wisconsin is based on total self-interest, pushing for past privileges, recast as workers’ “rights” that ultimately could bankrupt that state. One would think “collective bargaining rights” are immutable, found in the Bill of Rights, or in The Universal Rights of Man, to hear the public union officials and their lackeys in the Legislature. It is simply not so.
Gary Larson is quite right.
UPDATE: And in Washington state we have this:

Some stand up to bullying – and see their business quadruple.
Spread the word. Stand up and be counted. Do not yield to thuggery.

Appaently, there is far more being bandied about as to why we don’t hear much from Mexico’s President Calderon on this influx of weapons from our own ATF into his country.
This might provide an answer. And it sounds like a doozie.
Anabel Hernández has made quite the charge: the Sinaloa cartel has bought the Mexican government lock, stock and Calderon. What’s more, the DEA knows about the corruption and plays ball with Calderon to catch other cartels, giving the Sinaloas a pass. Which would account for Calderon’s lack of indignation on the whole Gunwalker deal.
UPDATEx2: ATF Ignored and DOJ ignores Document Requests
UPDATEx3: Issa is threatening contempt proceedings if ATF does not comply.
UPDATEx4: Two guns sold to a Mexican cartel and used in the high-profile kidnapping and murder of a Mexican lawyer last year were purchased under the U.S. Justice Department’s failed anti-gun trafficking program Operation Fast and Furious, sources tell Fox News.

Andrew Traver, from Chicago. Feel any safer? I don’t. Second time the POTUS has nominated him.
Michelle Malkin says it best:
Traver’s pending nomination hearing comes as Republican watchdogs Sen. Charles Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa turn up the heat on the Obama administration’s stonewallers over Project Gunrunner. The State Department, Justice Department and ATF have failed to produce documents in a timely manner on a bloody initiative that has been tied to the deaths of at least two American law enforcement officials. Traver would be another go-along, get-along Chicago cog in the machine. Americans need someone who’ll strip the whitewash, not second-coat it.
Oh, and by the way, how about that war on drugs? Is it getting any better? Or worse? Who is better funded and capable?
Think it might be their toys?
And how about a new Secretary of State? Will it be Cass Sunstein’s wife? Color me unimpressed and a bit more concerned for our U.S. Constitution. Correction: a LOT more concerned.
