Hiding Behind the Children
American Spectator, by Aaron Goldstein

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 1/16/2013 6:12:40 AM

During the last press conference of his first term in office, President Obama pledged to take “executive action” to reduce gun violence in response to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut last month. The President told reporters, “If there is a step we can take that will save even one child from what happened in Newtown, we should take that step.” When Obama unveils his gun control proposals today at the White House, he will be surrounded by children. It’s something straight out of South Park.

Guns really aren´t the issue here,it´s about Obama setting a prescedent on using exe orders every time he thinks something is too tough to get through congress. i suspect that amnesty is on the short list of what´s next along with reparations and college loan forgiveness. Of course there´s no money for all this but that won´t stop him either. The trillion dollar coins is a trial balloon for now but could very well happen for obama to satisfy his voters.
i wonder what other countries think about the insanity going on here.Whether they know it or not,they´re going to be ill affected with this country collapses.

Too funny ~ and true ~ #1 and I would add a reported propensity for using nose candy and other mind altering compounds.

This was out a few days ago. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/12/27/sandy-hook-huge-hoax-and-anti-gun-psy-op/ Not the first time I´ve seen accusations against the FBI.

I guess now, with all the hoopla, every time someone pharts sideways, some little child somewhere [at the instigation of their lib parent] will write a letter to Preezy so maybe they will get to go to the White House and be on teevee. Gack.

Wasn´t it to save the children that President Clinton murdered all the people in the Koresh compound in Waco, Texas?

Didn´t he use an army tank to breach the building and insert highly combustible tear gas that started the conflagration?

We cannot trust this president either.

I agree with Newt, the Repubs should hold their news conference in Chicago, and surround themselves with poor black kids in Englewood (where a lot of our 500 murders last year took place, with handguns too)and say Obambi doesn´t care about these kids.

Adding a couple more gun laws here won´t change a thing.

If only he could be surrounded by the souls of all the aborted babies and especially those who were born alive and Obama voted to let die. And the hundreds of murdered Mexicans and the American border agent killed by Obama´s sham Fast and Furious, undertaken to make gun shows look bad. What a phoney! Obama and Holder are the biggest gunrunners of all.

I hope that just one reporter cuts a coupe of calves away from the herd and asks them about their alleged letter. And not allow the parents to speak for them or give them hints.. I can just see the blank stares from the kids, and if allowed to answer honestly, "mommy(or daddy) told me what to write, and said we´d get to be on TV. Hey, Vaj-jar, this was a cool idea.

During the hour or so of President Obamas speech today over 100 innocent children will be murdered without the use of a firearm. For the entire day, in fact every day, 3,000 babies will lose their right to have any kind of life, yet no public tears will be shed for them. I mourn with the Newtown parents and their loss, but even more so for the 1 million babies a year who fade into oblivion without ever getting a chance to draw abreath.

None of the gun proposals to be recommended by Barack Obama today will have prevented a crime like what happened in Newtown. They will only serve to make criminals out of ordinary law abiding citizens.

They don´t care about the ´chilrun´ any more than they care about the rule of law. As cold as it might sound, there is almost nothing in the constitution more important than the 2nd amendment. All the rest of the amendments depend on the 2nd to keep the government in check and a pack of cutesy, tow-headed little waifs being used as a human shield is not going to change my mind.

It would be a good time for Operation Rescue to bring those babies in jars, as well as the huge, graphic abortion photos... for the children.

To think about it, maybe we could have graphic pics of cartel victims on this and Mexico´s side of the border courtesy of Obama´s ´giving out guns like candy´ campaign.

Not to be forgotten, Stevens and those who were killed with him... likely with weapons supplied by this *******.

As we speak, he´s probably sent countries to every hot spot in the Middle East, to our enemies.

The left used Hitler´s 1938 gun laws word for word (translated of course, see Thomas Dodd).

I´m still waiting for inventory of precincts and warehouses re: disposal and missing weapons.

Some bad apples on the force (and retired cops as well), make a good penny slinging weapons, drugs, etc.. That would be in Bloomberg´s city of course..

The use of children, like Obozo is doing, is straight out of Mein Kampf. Hitler used children the same way. This is no coincidence as their goals are the same.

This is NOT Gun Control. I am waiting for Conservatives to use the EXACT terminology for what the Left is doing - Attacking & Destroying the 2nd Amendment.

Plus, if the truth about the Treason of The Benghazi Massacre became COMMON knowledge, Obozo would be dead meat. Hence, the attack on Gun Owners and the attempt at dissolving the 2nd Amendment. Only something this huge could deflect from Benghazi and the prezdint´s true reason to place Americans who where in Libya in danger and WHY he gave the order to the CIA and the military to stand down.

Conservatives should keep a close watch on BOTH hands.

Commentary Magazine, by Max Boot    Original Article

The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

On weekends, he left town for his job as an instructor at a flight school, residing in Grapevine with his second wife, Leslie Gardea, who traveled during the week. To keep the women from finding out about each other, he created fake divorce documents on the Internet and filed his first wife´s taxes, marking her as single without her knowledge.

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002.

Historian James Thomas Flexner referred to George Washington as "the indispensable man." Americans all know he was a general, but have you ever wondered what grade of general? How many stars did Gen. Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general. During World War II, Congress created the five-star general, the modern rank of general of the Army. There had been an earlier grade that was called general of the Army,

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
