The closed-door session, which will start at 8:50 a.m., marks the first time the administration will have briefed members of Congress on the online enrollment system since its troubled rollout on Oct. 1.
Tom Watson, you're a friggin' idiot. And a bigot.
And their own argument for privacy is weakened by the pollution of an ideology that uses its few positive civil liberties positions as a predator uses candy with a child.
Coming from someone who supports such lights of corruption and lies as Feinstein and Pelosi, that's really interesting.
For those whose feet still touch the ground, the path to NSA reform so clearly lies inside the Democrats’ big tent – and runs through its liberal wing. And because we are a liberal republic, whose central government is not leaving the landscape anytime soon (the libertarians’ fondest goal), change must also run through an elected Congress.Democrats? Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Your Cell Phone) took to the pages of USA Today to defend NSA surveillance as recently as yesterday. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Your Email In Box) called Edward Snowden a "traitor" for revealing the NSA's excesses. And President Obama, who is, in fact, a Democrat, loves him some NSA surveillance.
Claiming the 'liberal wing'(is that the non-communists or what?) will save us from the NSA lawbreaking is about as intelligent as expecting integrity from Boehner or McConnell. Or most any of the other career politicians in either party. Which demonstrates that you, Mr. Watson, are either- as noted previously- a friggin' moron, or a damned liar.
I'm voting for moron.
What? Don't those peasants know Cruz is a despised extremist wacko bird?
Yeah, and Holder never heard of Gunwalker until 'a couple of weeks ago', too.
His Majesty doesn't like the law, so he declares around it.
Stuff to make the Bradys and Laddites cry:
There are now more than 5 million women participating in the shooting sports, an increase of 46.5 percent since 2001. The number of gun owners in America surpassed 100 million a few years ago, according to the NRA. Reportedly, NRA membership now exceeds 5 million. More gun owners means more ammo being shot.
A recent survey by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association that represents firearms manufacturers and related products, found that the primary motive for recent handgun purchases is concealed carry (32 percent), followed by non-competitive shooting (28 percent) and then home defense (24 percent). Two thirds of handgun owners said they are likely to purchase another handgun within the next year. Also, 30 percent of single handgun owners purchased their first and only handgun within the past year.
...
As the number of gun owners in America has been growing gun stores have been expanding, adding indoor ranges and new training programs. These new consumers are buying more ammo.
...
Randy Potter, Gat Guns’ store manager, says, “Ten years ago we had two women working behind the counter. We now have nine. We have women-only classes taught by a lady who is an International Practical Shooting Confederation shooter. We’ve also opened up our aisles, added more lights, put in granite counter tops and more. We’re catering more and more to suburban moms and dads. We now rent 160 firearm types and have instructors available for anyone who needs them.
“Over the last few decades our consumers have changed and we’ve changed with them,” says Potter. “I just sold an AR-15 to a guy who has hunted all his life but now wants a rifle for home defense. We used to get mostly hunters. Now we also get a lot of women and young men who want to shoot recreationally and to defend themselves.”
You can almost hear the outraged tears hitting the floor.
On a personal side, this post started last night; I'm not typing real well right now. Followup with regular doc later today. Details later on, let's just say I'm reminded of why I say I'm allergic to pain.
