My advice for the president as someone who reads polls: go for it, if it’s what you want to do. There is much discussion that acting by executive order would be seen as a “totalitarian” action and provoke a backlash. Nonsense, so long as the order is supporting a measure the public favors…

Absurd. Since when did Obama do anything the public favors? You act as if an executive order somehow changes the reality of how out of touch Obama(and the rest of DC)truly is on this subject. Threats of an issuance of an EO on “gun control” are trial balloons. The reality is that gun control is NOT a federal issue but a states rights issue. This is more feel good politics with either little or no consequence.

Canopfor stands tall in the frozen north
All linkys this man durst quoth!
He guards the rear
Not out of fear.
He’s resolute to defend
Right until the end
Everything America stands for!

Predator steals in on silent wings
His one liners have such a ‘zing’!
Always quick witted
He is so gifted.
So charming and delightful
His words tho can be frightful!
He searches out foes to defeat.

Sounds like Bubble Girl.

SW lives in the Wilderness
Of Mirrors no less!
He speaks the truth
He has much couth!
His passion knows no bounds
He is like a hound
Nose to the ground a huntin’

CheshireCat keeps us grinning
This style is winning!
Likened to a Wonderland
The prose goes hand in hand
With Alice and the rest
It is the best!
Fits well within the Glade’n.

…does the beagle know you are this talented?

“There’s evidence that in certain states where they tightend their background checks, they dramatically reduced the gun crimes. That would be the fastest way to make an impact,” he said.

Share it, please. No one’s taking a politicians’ word for it, sorry.

I’ve heard that’s painful.:)

That’s nice, because just like Lincoln, Obama is facing a divided nation.</blockquote>

Except Lincoln said this:

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

And, Obama said this:

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” he said.

“And if they tell you that, ‘Well, we’re not sure where he stands on guns.’ I want you to say, ‘He believes in the Second Amendment.’ If they tell you, ‘Well, he’s going to raise your taxes,’ you say, ‘No, he’s not, he’s going lower them.’ You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case.”

That is wonderful ….. bravo ….

or defense of one’s property.

generally you can not use deadly force to defend property …

ROTF. What if I’m hot air ballooning over the glade? What about that?

I can see everything with my spyglass. Of course all the good stuff happens at night but voices carry.

use night vision goggles …

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

My take.

……and yet Congress remains silent to challenge even the thought that he can “act” to legislate via Executive (Dictator) Order.

I’d like to offer up a BAN ON EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

Even so, lawmakers are also focusing on assault weapons, ammunition, video games, and mental health issues.

What will these Right Wingers want next, warning labels on rap CD’s? LOL

These punks don’t want to hear about children and their parents being murdered by Al-Qaeda and other “freedom fighters” in Asia and Africa. They maintain that that’s none of our business. But, when Israelis accidentally kill/maim civilians, they want something done. They also want U.S. troops on the ground in black Africa to protect black folk…but when Doughboys are shooting black thugs armed with AK-47′s, they’ll demand sensitivity training and complain about U.S. Imperialism.

When Bush ordered drone strikes, it was genocide. When Obama orders them, it’s simply ignored. Every death in Iraq under Bush was reported and complained about. We’ve been losing troops all along in Afghanistan, and hardly a peep from the LSM since Obama’s in the White House.

This is the game they play. Confuse and obfuscate. Selectively report and comment. Change positions on issues depending upon who’s in power and who’s involved. Propaganda. Unabashed hypocrisy.

Remember, they’re smarter and more clever than us./
