Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/16/08

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

From Codrea's War on Guns:
*'Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of the Lightworker (Chairman Ba-O) in Vain'
*'A Well-Heeled Anti-Gunner'
*'Supporting Republicans is Racist and Stinky'

From Michelle Malkin:
*The Secret Service says that Chairman Ba-O's claim that people are shouting 'kill him' (Obama) at McCain rallies cannot be verified.
*Malkin live-blogged the debate, but be sure to see the part about ACORN in the post.
*An interview with the plumber who confronted Obama

From Gateway Pundit:
*Sarah Palin stumps in Maine to great crowds and rips into Chairman Ba-O and Joe Biden.
*Voter Fraud Alert!! Washington State sends 24,000 ballots to convicted felons!

From Nicki at The Liberty Zone:
*Nicki reams Senator Jim Webb, to put it mildly. I warned voters about him before the '06 election. This 'friend of gun owners' says we have 'nothing to fear' from Barack Obama. What a numbskull.
*It seems that Nicki's words about Webb attracted the attention of the Senate Sergeant at Arms.

Armed and Safe gives us an important and much-appreciated update on Father 'Snuffy' Pfleger, the rabid anti-gun activist.

Syd has important news from Oleg Volk and his continuing problems with the theft of his website.

Breda posts a must-see video on the financial crisis, entitled, 'Follow the Money.'

Robb Allen has a good read on a question posed by Roberta X, 'Why Do You Shoot?'

Breaking news...Mike McCarville reports that the FBI has opened a nationwide investigation into the activities of ACORN--Chairman Ba-O's 'get out the Obama vote' organization.

Here is some interesting news! Supporters of Hillary Clinton have been helping Sarah Palin!

Another example of the loss of liberty (H/t to Cajun Bass).

Following the bouncing ball--the real story behind Obama and terrorist Bill Ayers.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 7/16/08

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

David Codrea's War on Guns informs us that D.C.'s massive gun-registration process will begin in the morning. Registering to exercise a right, huh. Mmmm.

Wow! Just wait till you see what 'Father' Snuffy Pfleger has done now! He's put out a contract on 'gun runners.' Armed and Safe has the story.

Roberta X provides another interesting installment of 'idiots in the news.'

Mike McCarville points to a racial divide in the 2008 Presidential election.

Scott Rasmussen reports some interesting stats in today's Presidential daily tracking poll.

The American Thinker shows us just how wrong the Democrats are on opposing oil drilling here at home.

Gateway Pundit says that the extremist Leftwing site, Moveon.org, has released a dishonest ad, which CNN proceeded to link to and actively promote. Is anyone surprised?

Squeaky posts last night's podcast (well, an hour of it) with Breda on the show, 'Gun Nuts.' Just click on her link to download.

Breda comments on her appearance on the show.

News from the NRA via Dr. John Lott: The NRA has referred to D.C.'s new gun laws as a 'joke.' As reported yesterday, the D.C. Council voted on new laws designed to supposedly comply with SCOTUS but are actually intended to get around the ruling.

Sebastian provides good commentary on the D.C. shenanigans.

(Hat tip to Say Uncle). SailorCurt at Captain of a Crew of One announces the blog reader who won a free trip to Blackwater to train with Todd Jarrett.

The Stiletto has the MUST-read of the day as she posts her periodic 'The Daily Blade,' the subject of which today is 'Satire is Not Slander.'

Eugene Volokh at the Volokh Conspiracy provides good reading on whether or not the Heller decision protects a Constitutional right to self-defense.

ROFL! You have GOT to see this gem (hat tip to Rezkorama). Black Cat Bone has an incredibly funny piece entitled, 'Political Satirists to Barack Osama Hussein bin Laden Obama--Our Job is to Mock Your Arrogant Ass off the World Stage with No Preconditions.'

NewsBusters (hat tip to Rezkorama) reports that the controversy over the cover of The New Yorker is hiding the real story on Barack Obama inside the magazine.

The Gaffney Ledger has a brief update on the South Carolina state's attorney that is using the federal courts to try gun cases instead of state courts because he thinks S.C.'s gun laws are 'too lax.'

Second Amendment News Roundup for 6/27/08

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

David Codrea at the War on Guns would like to issue a complaint to a bar association concerning part of the dissent of the Supreme Court to the Heller case. The minority opinion cites the Miller case in a blatantly erroneous fashion, which shows the shocking incompetence of the Judge in question.

David also says that Father Snuffy Pfleger has pledged more public temper tantrums now that he has returned to his pulpit.

Commissar Nancy Pelosi's lunacy on bringing back the Fairness Doctrine gets a shellacking from David as well.

Squeaky has the final details on the Memphis blog meet, including a corrected version HERE.

In light of the Heller decision, Sebastian asks, 'What regulations are reasonable?'

My favorite intellectual, Dr. Walter E. Williams, has a thought-provoking column entitled, 'The Problem of Ignorance.'

Mike McCarville has some interesting stats on the number of citizens who are licensed to carry handguns in Oklahoma.

Roberta X blasts the latest drivel from 'bogus' professor Carl T. Bogus on his PSH concerning the Heller decision.

Freedom Sight provides thorough commentary on the ramifications of the Heller decision.

Gateway Pundit reports that a leading Democrat has admitted that the Democratic Party has no solution to the problem of escalating gasoline prices. No kidding!

Gateway also reports that a Hillary-turned-McCain supporter has gotten the boot from the Democrats because of her support for McCain. So much for the 'Party of the big tent.'

Of Arms and the Law provides a link to the website of the Chicago gun lawsuit. As soon as the Heller decision was issued yesterday, the NRA, Second Amendment Foundation, and others brought the lawsuit against the Chicago gun ban. Good for them.

The Volokh Conspiracy points to three key articles on Heller. And then there is an excellent read at Volokh concerning 'originalism' in the Heller decision.

The Obama-Trinity Church Federal Grant Scandal

As it turns out, Mr. Clean Hands himself--the Obamessiah--is up to his eyeballs in scandal so sordid that everything we have heard about him up until now pales in comparison.

Obama has orchestrated the granting of 15 million dollars in federal earmarks to his congregation of 20 years, the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

And what, pray tell, is the federal government doing giving grants totaling 15 million dollars to a church? It has been assumed all these years that so thoroughly do liberals believe in 'separation of church and state' that even the mention of giving tax dollars to a church has been considered anathema.

These are the very people, by the way, who believe that churches should not have tax exempt status.

So, what gives here?

As usual, this is a case of liberal hypocrisy. Separation of church and state is a concept that applies only to conservative churches. Didn't everyone know that already? And if the church is not only a very liberal one, but a Black one to boot, then all the rules that are used to beat down conservatives go flying out the window.

For example, did Fred Phelps' independent Baptist congregation in Kansas City receive federal grants? Why not? No matter that Phelps is one of the most ruthless, hate-spewing, and downright crude homosexual-bashers in the nation. Obama's church is also home to some of the most venomous, hate-spewing, crude, and anti-American rhetoric on the planet. Yet they got 15 million bucks in taxpayers' money. If a church like Trinity could get the loot, then why not Phelps?

While still in the Illinois legislature and continuing as he moved to the U.S. Senate, Obama has for 15 years seen to it that the Trinity Church receives one million bucks in federal grants PER YEAR.

When George W. Bush proposed the faith-based initiatives early in his administration, liberals cried holy terror. They were not supposed to be using tax money to support 'religious causes.'

As it turns out, liberals had already found ways to do their own faith-based thing while flying under the radar screen. As long as the church in question was primarily a minority congregation, and as long as that congregation was engaged in programs that liberals deem to be 'acceptable,' then giving tax money to churches was just fine and dandy.

What hypocritical sleazebags!

Obama, of course, denies that he had anything to do with the grants. Right. It just so happens that the church Obama attended for 20 years made out like bandits with taxpayers' money, more so than any other federally-supported initiative with a connection to religion, but the high-profile politician who was one of its main members had nothing to do with it. Sure.

Some professors of religion in academia claim that the whole thing is the result of Bush's faith-based initiatives.

That would be....wrong. Bush has been in office a little over 7 years. The Obama-Trinity Church Federal Grant Scandal has been going on for 15 years, long before Bush took office.

Thus, once again, the man who claims he did not know that Reverend Jeremiah 'God Damn America' Wright was an extremist, the man who claims he did not know that the views of the Reverend Snuffy Pfleger were so outside the mainstream that it would lead to his Bishop giving him the axe, the man who could be a faithful member of a church for over 20 years and claim he was oblivious to much of what went on there, is now claiming he had nothing to do with the 15 million dollars' worth of federal earmarks for his congregation.

I will believe it when pigs fly.

Obama's Sleight of Hand

Like a magician waving his wand, Barack Obama hopes his sleight of hand maneuver in resigning from his church will result in a bad case of amnesia on the part of the electorate.

The presumptive Democratic nominee for President resigned from his church in Chicago on Saturday after an embarrassing display by guest preacher Michael 'Snuffy' Pfleger, the Catholic priest in Illinois who stated that gun shop owners should be 'snuffed out.'

Obama hopes that his resignation will cause people to forget his lifelong personal associations with characters of ill repute, such as Pfleger, who orchestrated multi-thousands of dollars going into Obama's campaign coffers, to which Obama responded by orchestrating a $200,000 grant for Pfleger's church, compliments of the Illinois taxpayers.

The issue is not Obama's membership in the church but the people with whom he did business as a politician--people who were connected with the church in some way.

It wasn't that Louis Farrakhan spoke at Obama's church, but that Obama publicly supported Farrakhan. It wasn't that Pfleger preached a fiery sermon at Obama's church during which he mocked Hillary Clinton, but that Obama has had a long-term cozy relationship with the priest which resulted in monetary gain on the part of both.

And let's not forget that Obama has repeatedly referred to the church's Pastor Emeritus, Jeremiah Wright, as his 'mentor and spiritual guide.' This relationship goes back 20 years at least, and all the while the Reverend Wright was engaging in questionable, extremist behavior and public pronouncements which Obama heartily endorsed.

Obama cannot, with one swoop of the magician's wand, cause all of this to go away by merely resigning from his church.

Whether he is a member of that church or not, he has much explaining to do concerning his financial dealings with Pfleger, as well as all of the other examples of corruption that characterize his personal associations through the years.

New Questions Surface on Obama

New questions have surfaced concerning Barack Obama's long-term relationships with persons of dubious character. The latest controversy surrounds Rev. Michael Pfleger, the Catholic priest/social activist who stated that gun store owners should be 'snuffed out.'

Pfleger recently preached a sermon at Barack Obama's church in Chicago, the church once led by the infamous Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who stated from the pulpit, 'God damn America.'

During the sermon Pfleger mocked Hillary Clinton and turned up the heat on the racial divide within the Democratic Party.

So controversial and extremist is Pfleger that Catholics across the country have started a movment called 'Catholics Against Pfleger.'

Although Obama immediately distanced himself from Pfleger's remarks, new information has surfaced concerning a long-term relationship between Obama and Pfleger.

It turns out that Pfleger has orchestrated significant financial support for Obama's campaigns, particularly when Obama was a legislator in the state of Illinois. In return, Obama orchestrated large grants to various programs headed by Pfleger.

The significance of these new questions concerning Obama's associations cannot be overstated. The candidate has a penchant for forming lasting, long-term relationships with persons of dubious character but then throwing them under the bus when it is revealed to the public just how extremist--and dangerous--some of these people are.

But the latest information to surface involves large sums of money and political influence-peddling.
