The Honeymoon’s Over

Consider this hilarious article from The Telegraph which is decidedly unsympathetic toward “President Pantywaist” as they call him. Good stuff, keep it coming folks!

“President Pantywaist is hopping mad and he has a strategy to cut Kim down to size: he is going to slice $1.4bn off America’s missile defence programme, presumably on the calculation that Kim would feel it unsporting to hit a sitting duck, so that will spoil his fun.

Watch out, France and Co, there is a new surrender monkey on the block and, over the next four years, he will spectacularly sell out the interests of the West with every kind of liberal-delusionist initiative on nuclear disarmament and sitting down to negotiate with any power freak who wants to buy time to get a good ICBM fix on San Francisco, or wherever. If you thought the world was a tad unsafe with Dubya around, just wait until President Pantywaist gets into his stride.”

20/400

20/20 tries their hand at misrepresenting the facts and succeeds. They did a great job of parroting the Brady Bunch’s talking points, but if their aim was to present fact and the truth, they came far far short of that goal. John The Texaner who blogs at “All You Really Need” had more intestinal fortitude than I and watched it, and had some thoughts about the show which he posted on his blog.

“I just wasted an hour of my life watching ABC News pimp the Brady Bunch and their drivel with their 20/20 “If I Only Had A Gun” special.

One of the more infuriating segments to watch was the “scenarios” played out, headed by a willing police trainer stacking the deck in a lop-sided argument. Here’s how it went:

20/20 took some college-age kids, mostly unskilled with handguns, NONE of which had defensive handgun training, and set them up for a force-on-force scenario. They were given simunition glocks and some rudimentary training, then thrown into an unexpected force-on-force scenario. In this scenario, the student is planted in a “class” with nothing but unidentified police officers as other “students” in on the ruse. The student is given a Glock in a holster – supposedly for later use – and told to conceal it under a t-shirt in a holster. In the middle of the class, the plain-clothes police officer in street clothes bursts in and starts firing to test the response of the student. There are multiple flaws that set up these students to be the patsies of this lop-sided piece of propaganda. I’ll list a few here.”

Open Season

What the movie should have been about, instead of an anti hunting diatribe.

“In response to proposed public safety cuts in Mason County, a county commissioner is encouraging people to take up arms.

Mason County prides itself on its gritty, rugged individualism. So much so that with the sheriff’s department facing nearly $400,000 in cuts – up to five deputies – the county commissioner made a very public declaration.

“It certainly is ‘open season,’” said Tim Sheldon, chairman of the Mason County Commission. “There is no bag limit on criminals who try a home invasion in our communities.”

The commissioner suggests that if more people in his county armed themselves and got the proper training, it could help offset cuts to law enforcement.”

There’s a video clip which goes along with the story as well, but I can’t find any way of embeding it.
