Feinstein: The NRA is ´venal´
Washington Times, by David Eldridge

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 1/27/2013 10:47:23 PM

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who has emerged as the leading proponent in Congress of tough new gun regulations in the wake of last month´s Newtown, Conn., school shootings, defended her proposed assault weapons ban on Sunday. Mrs. Feinstein, in an interview on CNN´s "State of the Union," conceded that the assault-weapons-ban legislation she introduced in the Senate on Thursday faces long odds. "This has always been an uphill fight ... this is the hardest of the hard," she said. She said her new gun-control proposals have broad-based support among mayors,

The ironic thing is the good senator has done more for gun sales than anyone since Samuel Colt. Or maybe ØDumbø. My crystal ball is cloudy but I think the whole thing will blow over. In order to repeal the Second Amendment it would have to be ratified by 2/3 of the states. And that´s not going to happen.

It was a recall attempt prompted by her gun control policies in San Francisco that make Feinstein politically ironclad.

I really try to like her, possibly because, next to Barbara Boxer, she´s a paragon of common sense. She has also, to some small degree, opposed the anti-military fanatics who dominate SF politics, and supported home-porting the Missouri in SF.

She´s not running for re-election. Like most of the dog-and-pony show that is Washington, she will run with this football as far as she can, and if she doesn´t cross the goal line, no one can say she didn´t try.

I don´t think anyone has to bribe the NRA to support our entire Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment.

To get a Democrat to support these rights, however, probably WOULD require a substantial bribe.

The sad part is Kalifornia has elected a woman who is attempting to outlaw something due to it´s looks.

If Di Fi had any conscience, she would be trying to outlaw, swimming pools, automobiles and bathtubs rather than guns.

If Gun Free Zones worked, Chicago would be safe. Why don´t they pass another law that says Murder is unlawful. That should solve the problem.


Reply 17 - Posted by: Spidey, 1/28/2013 2:50:24 AM     (No. 9143459)

The NRA is nothing but a bunch of like minded people enjoying the same hobby.Leave them alone and they´ll leave you alone.

According to Feinstein and the rest of the gun grabbers,they are outlaws,threatening the future of the country and accessory to every murder.

It´s OK to stereotype and smear these people with a broad brush but you´d better not stereotype minorities and gays,even though they are tremendously like minded,politically.

These people are always looking for something or someone to do an Alinsky on.Now Obama says Limbaugh and Fox are getting in the way of a full blown left wing country. Obama got elected twice with both of them doing their thing.

In fact,talk radio and a cable channel could be getting passed by with high tech communications and text messages to cell phones,from the WH,which is illegal. The groups might be considered neutral on paper but they´re coordinate with the WH which is illegal.
Somehow I got on the WH email list about 3 years ago and got a message from MO.I replied to remove me from the list but my brain was looking for an ice bucket after reading just one sentence of it.

"For me, Sandy Hook was an epiphany ... this was a young man, he knew weapons, he knew how to use weapons."

She does make a point, one which the NRA has never addressed. For the NRA´s position has been that teaching young people to use weapons, and how to use them safely, was the best policy. Adam Lanza was taught how to use weapons. he was taught how to use them safely. But that knowledge could not overcome psychotic or delusional thinking. Not surprising to those who work with the mentally ill, but probably surprising to the general public.

People aren´t born mentally ill. Serious mental illness tends to develop over time, with the most likely time to be in adolescence or young adulthood. There need to be ways to keep weapons out of the hands of those with psychotic/delusional thinking. Arming everyone won´t stop this, for some of those people you imagine being armed will turn out to have serious mental illness. And in a psychotic episode, they may snap.

I dunno, I find that I am increasingly disappointed with much of the commentary here on Lucianne. Calling people funny names, and using asterisks to get around the smutty language filter, does little to uplift the level of conversation.

"Venal" is a word usually associated with politicians like Feinstein.

"Showing or motivated by susceptibility to bribery."

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district. Strouse’s candidacy reflects an emerging

KAUFMAN, Tex. — The judge was on the phone. “Yep, I said I’ll do anything,” Bruce Wood told the person on the other end, rubbing his forehead. “They asked me to do a eulogy. I don’t know what I’m going to say.” Elsewhere in the Kaufman County Courthouse, a sheriff’s deputy was handing out bulletproof vests. “I brought the smallest one,” he said to a secretary, who stared at the khaki armor as he explained how to adjust the side straps should the need arise. “These have the neck for a female.” Outside, two armed guards

Vanishing workforce
weighs on growth

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Well, not intentionally. But Jim Ragsdale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune attended a conference in Chicago on covering gun issues, which he describes this way: “Covering Guns” brought reporters with front-line experience covering mass shootings in Tucson, Ariz.; Aurora, Colo.; Newtown, Conn., and Red Lake, Minn., to meet with gun experts and advocates and gun trainers. Sponsored by the Poynter journalism center and funded by the McCormick Foundation of Chicago, we gathered in a city that witnessed 506 homicides last year. The idea, I take it

Report: Carbon Emissions
in US Lowest Since 1994

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

When I tell campus horror-stories like “What’s the Matter With Vassar?” people ask if parents know what’s going on at these schools. I don’t think they want to know. But guess what happens when protesters step on others’ rights in full view of parents? Tufts has one of the most active campus fossil-fuel divestment groups. Lately these protesters have been infiltrating orientation sessions and campus tours for prospective students, mostly high school juniors traveling with their parents. Climate protesters interrupt these recruitment activities with questions

Behind the Dismal Jobs Numbers:
The ‘New’ Economy Takes Shape

Posted By: Dreadnought- 4/6/2013 8:27:24 PM     Post Reply
It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

But in the months since, the gun rights group has made itself impossible for the Alaska Democrat, and many other lawmakers, to resist. Begich has signed on as a co-sponsor of a bill, drafted in consultation with the NRA, that would change the way mental illness is reported in the background check system — a measure that critics say

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

"As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,
