OBAMACARE (NON)SURPRISE. The Affordable Care Act was never about healthcare; it has been and will always be about control and power. For those of you dumb enough to have voted for it, enjoy....

AS DEBATE BEGINS, Senate background check proposal for gun sales lacks necessary votes. Good.

MORE ON expanded background checks. In addition to the possibility of registration and a whole host of other 'inadvertent' crimes, the Manchin-Toomey bill adds another tax on the innocent.

Note once again that the Liberal response to almost any perceived problem is to punish the innocent.

BOSTON MARATHON BOMBED; actor calls for gun ban. He seems to have a bit of trouble understanding that the Second Amendment refers to the right to bear arms; it doesn't contain a right to arm bombs....

JOHN KERRY speaks for the Obama administration.

THE “PRO-GUN” PROVISIONS of Manchin-Toomey are actually a bonanza of gun control. Based on my reading of the post, I'm even less enamored of the legislation than I was before.

MEDIA BIAS and the Boston Marathon bombing:

Get over yourselves. For one day, get over yourselves. For one day realize the purpose you claim to serve and distribute what the authorities are confirming as fact. Practice actual news gathering. A public is fearful. Cities are securing their public centers and people are hugging their loved ones extra tight tonight. If you’re an anchor or reporter your professional designation is a publicly-declared obligation to provide unfiltered information to this very public. The public doesn’t give a damn about your political leanings or what you think. Give them the facts.

For the MSM, 'facts' are whatever speculation promotes their causes.

UPDATE: More.

A LOOK INSIDE the immigration reform proposal. I'm impressed, but only with its complexity. Otherwise, no. The border control part can be 'unenforced' with the stroke of a pen, and no matter how good the rest appears on the surface, it's just amnesty without effective border control.
