Most impressive, at the top of the Google winner-takes-all list, WaPost blog wisdom on gun control, furnished by “charticle.”
And what is it, precisely, that anyone wouldn’t get about this?
Fuck you, idiot! We’re gonna keep buying guns and ammo! Yeah!
It’s straightforward enough.
A comment on Aaron Alexis and the faux controversy over his clearances and medals.
The war on terror national security boom guaranteed it.
The explosive growth in national security clearances has never been a secret, nor the employment of thousands of individuals who, statistically, would expected to be unfit. The great sucking in by the business of the war on terror would have, by definition, been expected to bring fallout.
And when one individual blows up and produces a massacre, it is not surprising to anyone who has followed along. The vetting process was never going to be what people thought it was.
And as the BBC noted yesterday, among the shooter’s commendations: “Global War on Terrorism Service medal.”
Such medals were given out like candy. The only qualification was you had to serve in support of Iraqi Freedom or be military personnel involved in homeland security operations. It’s a meaningless citation with no more real importance than a pin for perfect attendance.
It would be a paradox only if it weren’t so ludicrous and sickening.
Unintentional black humor
One day before the Navy Yard massacre, ThinkProgress ran a note on two boobs, just like those in WhiteManistan Vacation, detained by police for carrying their assault rifles to a farmer’s market in Wisconsin.
Why, in Heaven’s name, would people get nervous about that?
It’s just patriotism!
Actually, it’s about bullying and intimidation. They wouldn’t be doing it if they didn’t think it would put the fear into their neighbors.
Their are laws prohibiting masturbating in public and other free-will anti-social antics that generally stand to unreasonably upset your neighbors, a point I and many others have made.
On the necessity of escape from the clutches of WhiteManistan
After Newtown, I thought there might be some change. What wasn’t quite expected was an historic explosion in gun buys and then almost total inaction except at some state levels.
Now I’ve come to see the error in my thinking. Gun control isn’t possible in the US, which is currently an ungovernable country.
More bloodbaths will occur. The question is how many can be stomached before igniting real social unrest?
WhiteManistan in Jefferson City, Missouri, last week — hoping for legislation that would nullify federal gun law in the state. It didn’t happen, falling short by just one vote.

Illustrating the pressing need to, ahem, escape from WhiteManistan, this from the Dallas newspaper, publication of the opinions of some “reviewers” of science books for students in the Texas public school system:
“I understand the National Academy of Science’s strong support of the theory of evolution,??? said Texas A&M University nutritionist Karen Beathard, one of the biology textbook reviewers. “At the same time, this is a theory. As an educator, parent and grandparent, I feel very firmly that creation science based on biblical principles should be incorporated into every biology book that is up for adoption.???
Other reviewers objected to the books’ acceptance of key evolutionary principles. Among them is the fossil evidence for the evolution of humans and other life species.
Publishers must consider [their evaluations], along with testimony,” reads the newspaper. “[Several of the reviewing panel members are creationists and] they urge the State Board of Education to reject the books unless publishers include more disclaimers on key concepts of evolution.”

Today the LA Times editorial page took special notice of Missouri’s attempts at secession.
The Missouri state legislature, mentioned a few weeks ago for the attempt to nullify federal gun law and criminalize federal agents enforcing it as part of their job in the state, had entered into extremist radical government.
The legislation, initially vetoed by the state’s Democratic governor, was brought back for an override vote, one it was thought would be won. It failed — but by only one vote.
“It’s shocking to think that Missouri came so close to enacting a blatantly unconstitutional law,” wrote the LAT today.
It continued:
Missouri isn’t the only state where pro-gun politicians have sought to nullify federal gun laws; similar proposals have been advanced in Ohio, Minnesota and Texas. The burgeoning nullification movement also has attracted opponents of the Affordable Care Act, who have called for states to declare Obamacare unconstitutional within their borders. And while federal courts can be trusted to strike down such bills if they become law, their approval by legislators endows them with an undeserved legitimacy.
Like judges, legislators take an oath to uphold the Constitution. They violate that oath when they attempt to nullify duly enacted federal laws.
Remarkably, the Los Angeles Times makes not one mention of the Republican Party and its extremist policies. The newspaper’s editorial writers, on the other hand, are very much aware that the GOP and its Tea Party base are the sole proprietors of the “burgeoning nullification movement.”
WhiteManistan doesn’t go gently into the night. There will be long-time need to push it steadily and always firmly out the door.
On the adjacent letters page, a reader from Alhambra, south of Pasadena, writes in a closely related matter: “We have strong Latino, black, Asian, educational and union groups in this country that should be organizing economic boycotts of those states that seek to deprive their minority residents of their rightful place in society.”
It is a hard-to-enforce-and-enact retaliation I recommended in June.

Why isn’t there more social unrest in America? That’s the trillion dollar question.
Increasing hunger is a policy goal of almost half the government legislative structure. And over the weekend there were editorials: Food stamps steal from the betters in American society.
The mantra is regular, always louder, unceasing. Hunger is not a problem to be addressed by the American government, moochers only take advantage. Paradoxically, the lowest wage providers of employment, the fastest growing parts of the economy, rely on pay made so miserly that workers must rely on food stamps.
The message, that financial aid to combat hunger needs elimination or trimming, is so often repeated, even one benighted man, out of work, dismissed from the economy and on the same benefits, talks about “moochers” in a NYT piece today:
As a self-described “true Southern man??? — and reluctant recipient of food stamps — Dustin Rigsby, a struggling mechanic, hunts deer, dove and squirrel to help feed his family …
[Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation, a man who could assuredly poison poison itself] advocates mandatory drug testing for food stamp recipients — a position that draws support from Mr. Rigsby, who dreams of becoming a game warden and said it irritated him to see people “mooch off the system.???
But when benefits drop in November, the Rigsbys, who say they receive about $350 a month, can expect $29 less.
Mr. Rigsby, certainly a mixed-up fool, “eats once a day,” says the Times. His ambition to become a game warden is nothing but a pipe dream in 2013 America. And one sees evidence of Stockholm Syndrome, where people have been so beaten by tormentors they’ve been traumatically bonded to them.
More excerpts:
In Dyer County [where the Rigsby families lives], it found, 19.4 percent of residents were “food insecure??? in 2011, compared with 16.4 percent nationwide …
In Washington, House Republicans propose cutting $40 billion more in food stamps over the next 10 years by imposing work requirements and eliminating waivers for some able-bodied adults. The cuts would push four million to six million low-income people, including millions of “very low-income unemployed parents??? who want to work but cannot find jobs, off the rolls, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a left-leaning research organization.
But the arguments of Mr. Rector, the Heritage Foundation scholar, are gaining traction with Republicans on Capitol Hill. “I think food stamps have in the Republican mind become the symbol of an out-of-control, means-tested welfare state,??? Mr. Rector said.
A number of PARIAH covers have dealt with it. But this one will do today.
The Republican philosophy is a metastatic cancer on the nation. To adhere to its beliefs is to embrace death.

Today the news is afilled with pieces on the arrest of Shemane Nugent, wife of ol’ Shredded Wheat, by the TSA for having a firearm in her carry-on luggage at Dallas/Ft. Worth airport.
Google it.
DD cannot confirm or deny whether Ted Nugent passed a kidney stone last night.

Missouri takes the lead as the new heart of sedition in Civil War 2. Honest Abe maneuvered the South into firing on Fort Sumter by sending a resupply convoy into Charleston harbor. Maybe the President can instruct the ATF and FBI to send expeditions to the Show Me State after its crazy legislature makes criminals of them when they try to enforce national gun law, provoking an armed confrontation.
“Missouri is only the beginning,” one of the new rebels against federal tyranny tells the New York Times newspaper.
“I’ve got five different states that want a copy [of our bill].”
I think it would be great entertainment to fire a volley of cruise missiles into Jefferson City, Missouri, instead of a piss ant country like Syria, for a change, don’t you? They’re very precise, I hear.
From the NYT:
Unless a handful of wavering Democrats change their minds, the Republican-controlled Missouri legislature is expected to enact a statute next month nullifying all federal gun laws in the state and making it a crime for federal agents to enforce them here. A Missourian arrested under federal firearm statutes would even be able to sue the arresting officer.
The law amounts to the most far-reaching states’ rights endeavor in the country, the far edge of a growing movement known as “nullification??? in which a state defies federal power.
The Missouri Republican Party thinks linking guns to nullification works well, said Matt Wills, the party’s director of communications, thanks in part to the push by President Obama for tougher gun laws. “It’s probably one of the best states’ rights issues that the country’s got going right now,??? he said.
What would be your tactical operational plan to strike the legislature in Jefferson City? Discuss.

The American for a country where contempt is a virtue. Wait around for the rant in New Haven about “food stamp cocksuckers” who use the program to buy “crack.”
The Connecticut newspaper was not wrong when it compared his profane ideology to the Ku Klux Klan.
To Ted Nugent, most Americans are “cocksuckers.”
By dint of Media Matters and YouTube, all can see one of the most public bigots of our time, and — boy — is he angry about it.

Best newspaper web headline this week, easy.
Lede graf:
Gun owners across America plan to on Friday go armed to Starbucks outlets when getting their morning (noon and evening) coffee, as part of an “I Love Guns and Coffee??? campaign, and a show of appreciation to the coffee giant for letting customers pack heat when it accords with state law.
And I can think of nothing more perfect than:
Another day in WhiteManistan: The President says he doesn’t consider Edward Snowden a patriot. But in the meantime a bunch of white dudes insist on going to the Starbucks in Newtown with their guns on their hips. The store closes five hours early to avoid trouble.

Somehow, we’re still here. There are a few exceptions — Baja Ranch markets, being one. If you don’t bring your own bag, you can pay a dime for a paper one. At BR, it’s a plastic bag. Not sure how that got worked.
I hadn’t really kept track of the opposition to plastic bag bans because it’s government tyranny movement, but — of course — it exists.
Banning plastic bags, you see, is not only stupid but increases shoplifting. And illness.
Commie liberals.
