But we're too damn cowardly to do what's necessary.

CAN I SUE? The New York Times just called me racist.

Even if the Republicans managed to distance themselves from the thinly veiled racism of the Tea Party adherents who have moved the party rightward, they wouldn’t do much better among black voters than they do now. I suspect that appointments like Mr. Scott’s are directed less at blacks — whom they know they aren’t going to win in any significant numbers — than at whites who are inclined to vote Republican but don’t want to have to think of themselves, or be thought of by others, as racist…

The sign of true racists is their propensity to call everyone (except themselves) racist.

MISTAKES WERE MADE, but not by anyone who matters....

YES, LET'S CONTROL SPEECH:

[T]oo many reckless citizens using too much free speech - we need to limit speech by restricting the number of times people can publish books or stories, requiring a license to pen an article, limiting the number of websites that each citizen can own, with mental health testing and criminal background checks before being allowed to purchase a computer... feel safer? Don't the Feds realize how many people have lost their fortunes or committed suicide due to being victims of an internet scam? Bullied girls have killed themselves over website postings. We need to stop this madness, NOW! How many computers does a person REALLY need to own? How powerful a processor is enough? When will we learn; when will we ever learn?

Oh, you meant the Second Amendment?

BUT ... BUT Kansas is all white and there are no minorities to disenfranchise.

CLAYTON CRAMER on high-capacity magazine bans.

There is one other situation where a high-capacity magazine serves a necessary, even praiseworthy function. During the riots following the Rodney King trial, many shopkeepers in the Korean section of Los Angeles confronted mobs threatening to loot and burn the stores. Some of the shopkeepers used high-capacity magazines in rifles to avoid taking lives. Yes, you read that right. By firing two or three shots over the heads of the rioters, the shopkeepers were able to impress on these criminals that they should keep their distance or risk death. Because they had 30-round magazines in their rifles, they could afford to fire two or three warning shots. Had they been limited to three or five rounds per magazine, they likely would have had the choice of abandoning their stores or making every bullet deadly.

I've thought of that myself, which is why the rifle I keep in my home has a 20-round magazine capacity. I'd much rather fire several warning shots than a single killing shot.

OBAMACARE, taxing the poor.

MORNING EXAMINER: Boehner's Plan B is the best possible outcome for America.

GOOGLE accidentally photographs military drone landing.

A START to the gun control 'conversation'. While I disagree with much of what is said, the post does at least begin to address the issues. Here is what I think is the crux of the argument:

... America would be safer if more people were armed. To me this is more "interesting" than convincing. I can see the appeal of such reasoning on the individual level. Jeff Goldberg describes the Long Island Railroad shooting in 1993 and says that if he had been on that train he would rather have been armed than not. "My instinct was that if someone is shooting at you, it is generally better to shoot back than to cower and pray." Undeniably. But ... I don't see how this scenario extends to a policy that makes us safer overall.

Liberals believe society is (better, safer, fairer) when individuals are limited; conservatives believe the converse, that society is (better, safer, fairer) when individuals are free. Those are positions for which it is difficult to find compromise.
