Fast and Furious mea Culpa to DC Editorial Staff

Posted on October 6, 2011 by ChrisA

The Daily Camera editorial of Sept 30th of this year starts out:

We respect the constitutional right to bear arms, and we appreciate the right of states to balance that right with the very real public safety threat guns present in America. That’s why we are against a bill that would allow the federal government to trump local laws regarding guns.

Colorado’s laws spell out certain regulations designed for that balance: For instance, gun owners have to meet certain requirements for a concealed weapons permit, and when they have their concealed weapon on them, they will also need both the physical permit and photo identification.

Color me skeptical regarding the first paragraph but I also have enough courage (or whatever it is, added 10/6 integrity is probably a better word here) to apologize for my statements implying that Erika would not object to Fast and Furious if the objective was to increase gun control in the United States. I apologize, that was an inappropriate statement.

All that said, the above editorial is about the Least Common Denominator for reciprocity in concealed carry permits. That argument also works when the Republican’s suggest allowing purchase of insurance across state lines. Colorado has mandated maternity coverage in individual plans (and perhaps in Group plans, I’m not sure). If you can purchase policies across state lines, everyone in the US who is planning to get pregnant will purchase health insurance from Colorado. Everyone in Colorado who doesn’t want to pay for maternity coverage will purchase plans from outside the state. This obviously isn’t a business model that will work.

Oh… This is SO BOulder

Posted on October 5, 2011 by ChrisA

So why do intelligent people consistently make such a hash of things? Because they are smart enough to talk themselves into anything. Ordinary mortals don’t engage in fancy mental gymnastics to reach conclusions that defy common sense. But intellectuals are particularly prone to this.

Municipalization of the Boulder power grid comes immediately to mind.

Naturally, the quoted article has nothing to do with Boulder.

The disorganization and lack of courtesy is a hallmark of this White House, and bespeaks management problems that go well beyond any deficiencies in policy.

Fast & Furious: CBS Reporter tries to do her job

Posted on October 4, 2011 by ChrisA

Read how that went. A whole lotta screamin’ going on.

Now there’s an MSM reporter that needs our support.

“They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I’m the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I’m unfair and biased by pursuing it.”

This would be like a Daily Camera reporter investigating the City or County for abusing property rights with the land use code or something.

Sweet.

Since the Daily Camera came out in support of the 2nd amendment I’m sure they have no issue with this.

Which btw, I apparently owe an apology to Erika Stutzman and/or the Daily Camera Editorial staff for one of my sarcastic/flippant remarks regarding gun control. I’ll try and get to that this evening.

Want to fix American health care? The first step is to abolish Medicaid and replace it with a more rational system to help the truly needy and exclude the moochers and deadbeats.

Posted on October 2, 2011 by ChrisA

Entitlement Nation.

Cost to you, the taxpayer: About $4000.
Cost to the deadbeat: $0.

Cost of preganancy test kit?

“Wall Street, a key contributor to Obama in 2008, seems to be switching allegiances.”

Posted on October 1, 2011 by ChrisA

Goodness, one can only hope.

The president’s campaign struggled this week to sell out a fundraising dinner Friday at Manhattan’s gilded Four Seasons restaurant despite its being hosted by America’s No. 1 capitalist, Warren Buffett, according to people close to the campaign who were not authorized to speak publicly. The dinner for 100 was also a relative bargain at $10,000 a plate; recent fundraisers in Hollywood and New York have gone for $35,800 a pop.

Both hands clapping. Hell, the legs are standing and the hands are clapping.

Janeane Garofalo: Racist Republicans Support Herman Cain

Posted on September 29, 2011 by ChrisA

Janeane Garofalo: “Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican party. Conservative movement and tea party movement, one in the same.

Who knew?

Somewhere along the line this says more about the accuser than the accused.

Also, what’s a Republican to do to not be racist aside from become a Democrat?

And for a good overview of the Tea Party I suggest this article, Tea party gets bad rap for telling truth.

Barack Obama promised to change how Washington works, and instead exploited the worst of Washington’s ways to change America into something Americans don’t want.

So along comes the tea party, and those vested in the status quo resent having to answer to the taxpayers.

That was well-illustrated at the Detroit Economic Club lunch last week, when Democrat Rep. Sander Levin complained tea party beholden Republicans were risking a government shutdown by demanding emergency relief spending be offset with cuts elsewhere. Said Levin: We’ve never paid for disaster spending. To which Republican Rep. Candice Miller replied: “We’ve never paid for anything. That’s why we have a $14 trillion debt.”

That’s the tea party talking. And it’s hard to see why anyone would be frightened by such a commonsense message of fiscal responsibility.

Fast and Furious

Posted on September 29, 2011 by ChrisA

MIchael Wash at the New York Post asks “Where’s the Outrage” regarding the botched Fast and Furious operation.

About a month ago, the Daily Camera editorialist Erika Stutzman wrote on this botched operation asking for disclosure by the White House and the administration:

It’s appropriate that high-level authorities connected with such a debacle should lose their jobs. But our country’s agents just placed hundreds of unaccounted-for weapons with some of the Americas’ most dangerous, organized and brutal murderers. The White House administration and the Justice Department should be forthcoming with Congress about who else bears responsibility for the botched operation.

Mr. Walsh hypothesizes that the operation is not even what it appears. He proposes two, perhaps three options…

There are two possible explanations. The first is that the anti-gun Obama administration deliberately wanted American guns planted in Mexico in order to demonize American firearms dealers and gun owners. The operation was manufacturing “evidence” for the president’s false claim that we’re to blame for the appalling levels of Mexican drug-war violence.(emphasis added)

If this is true, then Holder & Co. have got to go — and the trail needs to be followed no matter where it leads. For the federal government to seek to frame its own citizens is unconscionable.

A second notion is that the CIA was behind the whole thing, which accounts for all the desperate wagon-circling. Under this theory, the Agency feared the los Zetas drug cartel was becoming too powerful and might even mount a coup against the Mexican government. So some 2,000 weapons costing more than $1.25 million were deliberately channeled to the rival Sinaloa cartel, which operates along the American border, to keep the Zetas in check.

Of course, there’s a third explanation — that both scenarios are true, and that those in charge of Fast and Furious saw an opportunity to shoot two birds with one Romanian-made AK Draco pistol.

If the first option is true, I doubt Erika Stutzman cares. If the 2nd is true, that’s an ugly situation.

Erika should join Michael Walsh in calling for a special prosecuter. Oh, and obviously there’s lots of room for BUDGET CUTTING in the involved agencies.

Wonderful: Obama OK’s Two Solar Loans Worth $1 Billionand the really good news?

They actually have $5 billion more ready to give away by Friday.

Once the City of Boulder municipalizes their power source and goes dramatically into debt, I’m sure they are counting on loan guarantees such as this to provide their “green” energy.
