While we babble on about 1st Amendment, keep in mind the severe ignorance of many of these Afghan villagers. They cannot read any language. They live like the Flintstones. They actually are nice people, but when someone uses this to say this is an attack on their religion, they pick up the RPGs and go to fighting. The Taliban will use this as a tool to kill US and other Coalition forces. It might feel nice to burn the Korans in Polk County, Florida (my home county), but it translates to death in Afghanistan.

I cannot tell you how shocked I am to be reading this. He is ranting against the doings of the infamous Pastor Terry Jones and his perpetual mania of burning Qur’ans.

Folks, let me tell you something about me: I love books. I have books everywhere as my long-suffering Wife can attest and my Mom has endured since she and Dad made the mistake of not providing me with siblings and thought buying books was cheaper in the long run than buying the latest Matel box-of-fun. Back south of the gulf, I still have thousands of books (yes, thousands) I could not bring with me because there was no space available in the moving container. I have books that were given to me as gift when I was 5-6 years old. I have books given to me by communists and other idiotic people (know thy enemy and all that.) I have text books that are outdated by decades. I have books that are so boring, it took me years to read them (Great Gatsby? About 15 years.) So allow me to tell you that the fact that anybody would set books on fire makes me very very angry. I remember watching Fahrenheit 451 when I was a teen and scream in anger at the screen. In fact, I haven’t even read the book as I simply cannot make myself do it knowing what is about.

So it is safe to say I have no love whatsoever with Pastor Terry Jones, but if he wants to burn Qur’ans, Bibles, Bhagavad Gitas or Battlefield Earths, he can do it because it is First Amendment Right to do it as despicable as it might be. And that a person that I considered to be a journalist cites any excuse to infringe or restrict any Americans right to demonstrate his beliefs because what a bunch of idiots may think, say or do after they spend the night pumping the neighbors goat, it shocks the hell out of me. And this comes from the Michael Yon who complains every other post that the military is up and running trying to censor him or not allowing him to access information.

It reeks of upper-crust hypocrisy: For thee but not for me.

The first one is from the Brady Bunch:

This one is precious: “Senators Morse and Giron were acting on behalf of the will and well-being of their constituents.” Which explains why they were kicked out of their offices by their constituents.

I guess we missed the news where teams of NRA members were from house to house shooting potential pro-Morse and pro-Giron voters. Yeah, that is probably what happened.

More from CSGV
1) Never say “We will engage” against armed people.
2) “The NRA carefully selected two vulnerable senators and defeated them in recall elections marked by low turnout and voter suppression.” And we have the official narrative from the Democratic Party set for the media. I guess it is their version of “The Stand Your Ground Law killed Trayvon.”
3)”What is most important is that Colorado’s historic new gun laws remain in place. These laws are popular with Colorado residents.” They are so popular, they were voted out their offices. Suspension of Logic: Master Level achieved.

Didn’t the Japanese say that sometime in the Summer of 1945? Just asking.

That’s it for now…. I’ll keep checking for hysterical media releases later.

“The gun lobby may have won this local battle, but they will not win the national war. The National Rifle Association purposely called this recall election in Colorado – just a year before the regular election cycle – to ensure voting obstacles and low voter turnout. This reckless desire to remove legislators from office in an off-election year cost Coloradans more than $500,000 – an egregious waste of taxpayer dollars.

From the outset, this recall was designed as a tool of intimidation funded by the gun lobby. What a ridiculous temper tantrum by a bunch of bullies – moms know them when we see them.

Told ya about the spinning.

You see, I understand Moms lie to their kids: The white lies about the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus and where babies come from and all that stuff? I get it. But please, don’t lie to everybody and specially do not treat adult as your kids. This was not an NRA election, it was created by a trio of plumbers that were ticked off, decided to take action (where did I hear that before) and created a REAL grassroot effort to oust via VOTES people who thought were elected to an absolute royalty position.

Astroturf hates Grassroots. It represents all they want to be but can’t. They are genetically Modified Political Organisms in Ultra-Lib parlance….which would make Michael Bloomberg the Monsanto of Politicians.

So Morse and Giron are out and it could have not happened to a nicer pair of autocrats. I was unaware of the money spent in the campaign trying to save them but according to the HuffPo, the Dems coughed up $3 million versus $540,000 that the Recallers gathered.

We’ll soon hear the explanations and how this doesn’t change things much, trying to spin it like a DJ on meth at a Cocaine Addict’s convention. But you can be sure a chill got FedEx’ed to many a politician out there.

Next comes the hard work of knocking down the bad laws off the books. I am guessing it wont be an easy thing, but I have no doubt it will also be achieved.

Congratulations to the organizers of the Recall and everybody who worked their asses off. You deserve our thanks and several dozen Magpul 30 round magazines for your EBRs.

PS: And they didn’t even gave free cell phones to win!

As much as some want us to forget…No.

Caracal announcing the total recall and refund of all Model C pistols. No idea how many, but whatever they found has to be pretty bad for not even bothering to fix and return.

I think this pretty much kills the brand in the US. The good news, some people will now have money to buy guns and/or ammo. Plenty of Taurus out there.

ZOMG! George Zimmerman was arrested! He threatened the wife and father in law with a GUN! Somebody please help us from this NRA MANIAC!

But STOP THE PRESSES! Apparently Zimmerman’s wife lied or at least “embellished” the call to 911:

LAKE MARY, Fla – Lake Mary Police are now questioning the validity of several statements Shellie Zimmerman made when she told 911 dispatchers her estranged husband, George Zimmerman, threatened her and her father at gunpoint Monday afternoon.

“We did not find a gun, did not locate a weapon,” said Zach Hudson, public information officer with the Lake Mary Police Department. “Nobody ever saw a gun. A gun is not part of this story.”

via Lake Mary Police are now calling into question several statements Shellie Zimmerman made to 911.

Divorces are a nasty thing, specially after what both went through. I will reserve my opinion of what the wife did and just… screw it… she tried to have George Zimmerman SWATed and that is not a good thing, no matter how pissed you are at your mate.

As for the Gun Control Activists: I don’t expect retractions or apologies from any of them….but it is funny that groups that hate guns so much had no trouble jumping one.
