First: Sen. Al Franken(NSD) is a frakkin' moron

or a lying bastard. Quite likely both.
"I came here to warn you, the party may be over," Franken said. "They're coming after the Internet hoping to destroy the very thing that makes it such an important [medium] for independent artists and entrepreneurs: its openness and freedom.” Net neutrality, he added, is "the First Amendment issue of our time."
Yeah, but not in the way you want it to be: the real action for free speech is stopping bigoted assholes like you from taking it over in the name of government censorship.


Here's more of that 'civil discourse' the left insisted on.
WE WILL FUCK YOU UP. We will throw our baseballs in your lawn, you cranky oldpieces of shit, and then we will come get them back. What are you gonna do? Shootus? Get Wausau Tea Patriots to form an ad hoc militia on your front lawn? That wouldbe fucking HILAROUS to us. You could get to know the assholes on your side in realfucking life instead of sponging off the civil society we provide for you every single dayyou draw breath.Pay your dues or action will be taken. The action will be legal, peaceful, and nonviolent(on our end anyway – if you want to do it the other way fine with us. Meade is a toughguy on LGM or whatever but he's a chickenshit IRL. We dare you buddy. Double dogdare you.) but it will also be swift, decisive, direct, personal and effective.
As to the 'nonviolent' bit,
If you have not acceded to our demands within a week, it is ON LIKE DONKEY KONG. WE AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE. EVER. WE LIVE HERE 100% OF THEFUCKING TIME. YOU CAN'T BAN MADISON FROM LIVING IN MADISON, BUT WECAN SURE AS SHIT BAN YOU. WHO ARE YOU GONNA CALL? COPS FORLABOR? THE CHICKENSHIT TEA ASSWIPES WHO ARE SCARED SHITLESS OF THETEAMSTERS TRUCKS? THE NATIONAL GUARD? SCOTT WALKER? NO ONE ISGOING TO COME AND CRACK DOWN ON US FOR YOU. THERE IS NO CAVALRY.ITS US VS YOU ON THE STREETS OF THE CITY GOING AS FAR AS IT HAS TO GOUNTIL A) WE WIN OR B) DOOMSDAY.
You'll notice the vile little troll has a problem with the concepts of private property, trespassing, and the fact that credible threats to do violence to someone are kind of illegal. Of course, VLT is apparently counting on the union cops to do what they've already done a few times: stand and ignore lawbreaking by union members and associates. I don't think he can keep counting on that; I'd imagine the various threats and refusals to do their sworn duty are causing some upset with the morons in charge of the various LE involved. And if someone gets hurt or their home damaged, etc., while they stood around doing nothing? I don't think they'll like the blowup that would cause.
I will further note- aw, hell with it. He/she is a miserable little shit socialist who's probably using the family internet connection from the basement where he still lives.


Current Gunwalker news, when a senior agent at ATF writes a letter like this to the Judiciary Committee... This part ought to be causing some real heartburn to Feinstein and Boxer:
We reported, predicted and identified specific violations of law, policy and ethical mandates by senior managers within ATF. I am going to attempt to attach a letter sent and signed by 25 Senior and retired ATF Agents and Supervisors we sent to the Judiciary, Senator Feinstein and Barbara Boxer almost 2 yrs ago. Nothing happened.
Further along,
The following are examples of practices which have now divided this Bureau and are the motivation for this direct action:

Multiple findings of discrimination against senior ATF managers which have gone completely undisciplined or disciplined in a manner not consistent with the standards applied to the line agents and employees.

False documents and testimony submitted by or ignored/supported by ATF Chief Counsel’s office to include falsification of evidence and perjury. Failing to comply with Open Records Act and lawful court ordered demands for documents and testimony. The refusal by ATF Chief Counsel’s office to provide truthful and factual counsel to the Executive staff continues to create costly litigation for the employees and wasteful litigation and costly settlements for the Bureau. The consistent failure of ATF counsel to report significant violations of policy and law by ATF managers to appropriate authorities i.e. OPSRO and the OIG, allows the patterns and practices to continue.
That's a letter that took some writing. Publicly and to the Committee flatly accusing ATF brass of violations of law, civil rights, etc. And the Gunwalker mess following on. Maybe, just maybe, this'll help get something done.


Rachel Stewart and editor Roy Pilott are a couple of prize wankers. And liars. Who like the idea of having 'privileges' granted them by the State. Screw both of 'em(metaphorically, of course).


So you CAN take your pitchfork along; now we need a roofing trailer of tar sitting upwind of the building.


U.N. Security Council Resolution passes 10–0. Live feed from Benghazi on Al Jazeera English. The Resolution authorizes “all necessary measures” except military occupation of Libya. By my reading, the authorization includes destruction of Gaddafi’s anti-aircraft defenses, and of his air force and its mercenary pilots. As President Reagan once said, “We begin bombing in five minutes.” I hope.
Yeah. the UN has spoken and miracles will happen. Of course, now that the UN has given permission to do something Obama MAY actually do something other than talk; but I'm not holding my breath.


And I'm done for the night.
