Oh crap, Sgt. Angel must be in tears right about now

Police officials in the UK have started a new public awareness campaign.

Parents are being warned by police not to buy their children realistic looking toy guns this Christmas as it could lead to them being shot by armed marksmen.

And Happy Holidays to you, too! I’m so glad to hear that the warmth of the Christmas season is prefaced with a threat from the police that if you buy your child a toy firearm, you may be condemning him or her to a death sentence. Even better, the gun control supporter quoted in the article agrees!

Go read, so you get the whole GFW flavor. Geez, what the hell happened where Great Britain used to be?

Found thanks to Uncle.

The Herald Times newspaper 'defends' itself

by making accusations, etc. About what we've come to expect from clowns who do something like this in the first place.

Well, THAT was interesting

Hit the range today(indoor, and yes, it was cold) and put about 200 rounds through the M&P15-22, and some .45acp downrange. This evening I opened up the rifle, wiped it out, cleaned the bolt and lubed the rails, reassembled, pulled back the charging handle and released.

Ping.

Whiskey tango foxtrot?!? What the hell was THAT?

Pulled back the bolt and there's a spring loose in there! It seems when the bolt dropped the extractor exited for parts unknown. I still can't find it.

Looks like there'll be a call to Smith & Wesson in the morning.

By the way, Sen. Reid? You suck, too

with your "Just trust us" bullcrap. We can't because WE KNOW YOU LIE, you miserable little imitation of a Senator.

Whoa, backstabbing and backroom deals among the nanny-staters and socialists

in Copenhagen; did these morons actually think they could trust each other?
The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations.
Heee, the UN weenies must have blown a testicle(metaphorically speaking*) when they read that.


Added: if you doubt this bad smell in Denmark is about money and control, go here.
Social justice demands that the industrialised world digs deep into its pockets and pledges cash to help poorer countries adapt to climate change, and clean technologies to enable them to grow economically without growing their emissions. The architecture of a future treaty must also be pinned down – with rigorous multilateral monitoring, fair rewards for protecting forests, and the credible assessment of “exported emissions” so that the burden can eventually be more equitably shared between those who produce polluting products and those who consume them. And fairness requires that the burden placed on individual developed countries should take into account their ability to bear it; for instance newer EU members, often much poorer than “old Europe”, must not suffer more than their richer partners.
I would like you to take a look at this line in particular: to enable them to grow economically without growing their emissions. I want you to read that line simply because it is a flat effing impossibility. Developing nations need energy and freedom to really grow, and the bastards meeting in Denmark want to refuse them both.

Good GOD, do these (unintelligible words trying to describe them) actually ever think about what they're putting out? THEY CAN'T EVEN GROW MORE FOOD WITHOUT RAISING THEIR EMISSION LEVELS, YOU FOOLS! Computers or radios or better building materials, better heating and cooling sources, better food storage, IT ALL HAS EMISSIONS. You're like that fucking bastard Ed Begley Jr., saying that African villagers should be 'allowed' to have some solar panels for radios or maybe some computers, but anything else would 'ruin their village existence'. You sorry bastard, they want to be able to cook without having to use charcoal or dried animal dung! They want to be able to preserve foods without being restricted to drying them or salting them or smoking(oops! Smoking means EMISSIONS, you going to ban that way of preserving meat? Or just ban meat from them?); they want to be able to move beyond late iron age or very early industrial age, and you miserable shits don't want to let them.

I'm stopping now, this is really messing with my appetite and state of mind. The little socialist tyrant wannabes fuck EVERYTHING up...

*Hey, it would have to metaphorically; they'd have to actually have some for it to be literal

Well, I'd not heard about this chapter of Al Gore's globular warmering past

either; I wonder why? It's a 15-page PDF document; just as a teaser,
...I have two major concerns about Mr. Gore
and his position (or perhaps “posturing” is a better word) on
global climate change and scientists who disagree with him.

1. He appears to believe that those who disagree with him are
part of some vast industry-led conspiracy, and his ego will not
entertain the thought that his opposition really is just a group
of individuals and small organizations led by people whose
motivation is something other than financial gain. Some scientists
who oppose him do receive funding from organizations
and companies that have earned Mr. Gore’s ire, and he
has tried, as he did with Ted Koppel, to smear those scientists
with guilt by association. Ironically, I think that Mr. Gore
would be first in line to defend people who are besmirched
that way by others, even if he disagreed with their opinions.

2. As his own aides have reportedly said, Gore has “a long memory.”
Like Richard Nixon, it is said that he’s a “don’t get mad,
get even” kind ofguy——witness the many scientists who have
been harassed and bullied (see chapter by Happer, this volume)
and the journalists who have been frozen out or fired.

Pointed to by the Real King of France

Oh, we should also note that Al Gore is a liar. Looking like a somewhat desperate one, too.

We find that Florida has nanny-state "The Rules Must Be Followed Exactly

(so I don't have to think or make an actual decision) morons, too.

Yeah, the dog's going to contaminate those sealed-in-plastic Slim Jims and candy bars. And the DRINKS, oh, the horror!

Hey, why wouldn't the British government be screwing the troops over?

After all, that's not a big step from having turned a mass-murdering terrorist loose to make Libya happy. A 'soon to die from a terrible disease' terrorist who, oddly, seems to still be kicking.

Anybody think Obama will actually try to get this bastard back in prison?

I didn't think so.

The Scottish Government, the UK Government and our current also-socialist President: giving comfort to terrorist supporters the world over.

It should be noted that the Huntsville Board of Education

appears to be largely composed of asshats. At best.

I generally don't bother about this crap, but it should be noted

that Andrew Sullivan's brain has completely rotted or atrophied, and Joy Behar is a hateful, malignant twit.

Homeowners association realizes they were making enormous Rahms

out of themselves, begins damage control.

'Does Obama have it in for Britain?'

I'd say yes. What they have to remember is
He wants the UN running the whole world, preferably with himself in charge.
The US having an ally in Britain means A: independent nations and B: independent nations working together without being under UN control; neither of which fits into the world he wants.

Add to that the personal grudge he shows against Britain, and the answer is 'Yes'. What makes this funny- in the only way it can be- is you've got one socialist peeing all over another, and Brown's finding he doesn't like it. And it rather causes him some problems.

The Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings: the gift that keeps on

giving.
Despite the controversy, Barack Obama’s Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings and his GLSEN organization did nothing to clean up their act. In fact in 2001 activists handed out “fisting kits” to the children and teachers who attended the GLSEN conference.

But that’s not all. The children who attended Kevin Jennnings’ GLSEN Conference also left with their own “Little Black Book – Queer in the 21st Century”.

This book exposes the young teens to–
Rimming – Fisting – Water Sports (Pi$$ Play) – Toys
It’s what every teen needs to know…

You know, I'd think that if someone else was passing orders like this,

it might be termed 'obstruction of justice'.
[T]he Justice Department has, for now, ordered two key career attorneys not to comply with a subpoena about the case issued by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The commission, by law, has explicit power to issue subpoenas, and the law mandates that "all federal agencies shall cooperate fully with the commission." The Justice Department, however, is citing internal regulations stemming from a 1951 case to support its order to ignore the subpoena.

One of the attorneys, J. Christian Adams, has been advised by his personal attorney, former South Carolina Secretary of State Jim Miles, that failure to comply with the subpoena could put him at risk of prosecution. "I can't imagine," Mr. Miles told The Washington Times, "that a statute that gives rise to the power of a subpoena would be subjugated to some internal procedural personnel rule being promulgated by DoJ." In short, the department is stiffing the commission and unfairly putting its own employee in a legal bind.
Yeah, I'd think telling someone to ignore a subpoena might cause a 'legal bind'. More, from a piece linked to in the above:
Second, that same day, the two Republican House members with top-ranking jurisdiction over the Justice Department, Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia and Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, issued a joint statement calling Justice Department delays "a cover-up," and "a pretense to ignore inquiries from Congress and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights." At a hearing on Thursday, Mr. Smith said that "continued silence by the Justice Department is an implied admission of guilt that the case was dropped for purely political reasons."

Third, at the same hearing, Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, accused Justice Department Civil Rights Division chief Thomas Perez of not being "truthful" while under oath, to such an extent that "there are people who have gone to jail" for such a level of purported "dishonest[y]."
Now, I'm not a lawyer, etc., but I don't think you have to be to know that for a Rep. to basically call a DOJ division chief a liar is a pretty strong statement. He pretty much said "You committed perjury and people go to jail for that." Here's what this is about:
The disputed statement, from what appeared to be prepared remarks by Mr. Perez that he later repeated insistently, was that "the maximum penalty was sought and obtained" against the one Black Panther for whom the charges were not entirely dropped. The bizarrely weak penalty consisted of a mere injunction for the Black Panther not to brandish a weapon near a polling place, within Philadelphia, through Nov. 15, 2012. In short, he is prohibited, only within Philadelphia and only for four years, from doing something that is illegal anyway.
Wow! Such a penalty Holder pushed for! Such a load of steaming crap!
"Holder and them have done a terrible job on this," Mr. Wolf told The Washington Times. "This has just been handled so poorly.... You can't hide these things. There is something wrong here. There is something very wrong. When it all comes out, I think it will be very bad."

The congressman is probably right.
He'd damned well better be, if we're to have any confidence left at all in the justice system.

For the low price of only a little time, you can help save

humanity from the AGWmongers.
If you are comfortable using excel and converting text files to data tables and overlaying graphs or screen shots, you too can help prove whether man-made global warming is real or a crafted statistical mirage!

Reader grumpguy went to the NASA GISS site and pulled down data for one station in New York. What he found is no surprise – another example of raw station data being ‘adjusted’ to show recent warming.

He even did us all a favor by graphing and posting his results on the internet (imaging if alarmists were so forthcoming). He compared the raw data with the GISS ‘adjusted’ data and the evidence is clear:


The light colored lines are the ‘adjustments’, the blue lines are the original data. Two things jump out on this result:

1. The temperature scale as been dropped a magical 0.5°C (y-axis on left) in the ‘adjusted’ data.
2. The last few years of temps are used in both data sets – another version of “Mike’s (Mann’s) Trick” of using unprocessed sensor data to give the impression of warming.

GISS pushed down the earlier temperature record to make it look like it was cooler than today, when in fact there has been no significant change over the entire record. The adjustments are clear as day, as is the growing mountain of evidence that the raw temperature record is proving one of the two climate model predictions right.

MUCH more at the link. And thanks again to Keith for it

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Well, well, well, down in the southern hemisphere

it looks like some slight problems with the globular warmering idea.

Thanks to Keith for pointing to this and other interesting places

The Safe Schools Czar; I wonder if Obama will let him teach

his kids?
Thanks to Soros-linked Media Matters we now know that GLSEN director, and current Obama Safe Schools Czar, Kevin Jennings was confronted on the vile content discussed at the children’s conference.

“Like the Parents Rights Coalition and the Department of Education, GLSEN is also troubled by some of the content that came up during this workshop,” said Kevin Jennings, national executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.

He said people who run workshops in the future will get clearer guidelines, though Jennings said the network’s annual conference at Tufts University should not be judged on the 30-student seminar “What They Didn’t Tell You About Queer Sex and Sexuality in Health Class.”

“We need to make our expectations and guidelines to outside facilitators much more clear,” said Jennings. “Because we are surprised and troubled by some of the accounts we’ve heard.”

But despite Media Matters’ claims, Kevin Jennings and his GLSEN organization did nothing to clean up their act. In fact in 2001 activists handed out “fisting kits” to the children and teachers who attended the GLSEN conference.

That’s correct. Fisting kits.

At Kevin Jennings’ 2001 GLSEN Conference an estimated 400 student attendees were given their own “fisting kit.”
Mass News reported on the 2001 conference:
ESPECIALLY if you have kids of school age, read the whole thing

Isn't it interesting how many 'progressive' people connected to Obama

and his plans are flat-out crooks?
Rep. Schakowsky’s husband, Robert Creamer, used to be the leader of Citizen Action/Illinois. He also founded its predecessor, Illinois Public Action, in which Ms. Schakowsky served as Program Director. He runs a political consulting firm, the Strategic Consulting Group, which lists ACORN and the SEIU among its clients and which made $541,000 working for disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

Creamer resigned from Citizen Action/Illinois after the FBI began investigating him for bank fraud and tax evasion at Illinois Public Action. He was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to five months in federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, plus eleven months of house arrest.

While in prison—or “forced sabbatical,” he called it—Creamer wrote a lengthy political manual, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win (Seven Locks Press, 2007).

The book was endorsed by leading Democrats and their allies, including SEIU boss Andy Stern—the most frequent visitor thus far to the Obama White House—and chief Obama strategist David Axelrod, who noted that Creamer’s tome “provides a blueprint for future victories.”
...
Creamer adds: “To win we must not just generate understanding, but emotion—fear, revulsion, anger, disgust.”

Democrats have followed Creamer’s plan to the letter. They have claimed our health care system is in crisis despite polls showing the overwhelming majority of Americans are happy with the care they receive. They have—with the help of President Obama—circulated false horror stories about Americans dying for lack of health care and health insurance.

They have targeted the health insurance industry, with Rep. Schakowsky herself promising to “put the private insurance industry out of business,” though it is a top employer in Illinois.

Democrats have cut deals with the pharmaceutical industry and the American Medical Association, among others. They have brought in the President himself to tell wavering “Blue Dog” Democrats that their re-election chances depend on passing health care reform. They have bused in SEIU members to town hall meetings, and used rabbis and pastors to back health care reform from the pulpit.
Wonderful people the President associates with and listens to.

And some of the watermelon tyrant-wannabes let it out

It is the growing belief among advocate-scientists that international law must set limits on how much carbon dioxide each person on the planet can emit.

Most Americans would see a massive reduction in their daily output: You drive to the grocery store once for every seven times you go now.

Or, you could take your kid to school once a week instead of every day.

As part of this new world order, industrialized nations such as the United States that have already so damaged the planet would be forced to pay the rest of the world for those damages.

In explaining the US role during the past two decades, Donald repeatedly refers to "criminal conduct" and describes our behavior as "morally corrupt."

And ultimately, he says with glee, international law will catch up with us and make us pay for our unconscionable crimes.
Ok, try telling me this is about 'science'; this is about power and control: THEIR power and control over everyone else. Over every damned thing in our lives, and our lives themselves.

I'm going to excerpt the last part of the article:
Still, Donald acknowledges without any sense of shock or irony that the climate-change predictions of the advocate-scientists so far have not panned out very well.

"People think that science is certain," he says with a hint of derision.

"We can't know what is going to happen. There will always be scientific uncertainty."

It is a moral matter, not a scientific one, Donald says, that requires us to take such drastic action now, even though the proof of actual damage remains hard to come by.

He is asked whether there is anything unethical revealed in the recent e-mails where fellow advocate-scientists discussed manipulating data and suppressing information that undermined their lucrative global-warming beliefs.

"On that I am agnostic," Donald says.

As far as he is concerned, he says with rising anger about the general indifference about climate change, the global-warming debate "will determine who lives and who dies."
Oh, what a moral titan he is! He's 'agnostic' about fraud, about concealment and destruction of data, but "we have to act NOW even if there's no proof!" he says.

One more of the corrupt watermelons and 'scientists' who demand we hand control of everything over to THEM. Because THEY are the moral ones who know the Truth that we're not smart enough to believe in.
The e-mails, which were stolen from the Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia last month, have been seized upon by sceptics as proof that experts are spinning data to prove thetheory that humans are to blame for rising temperatures.

The scientific community was aghast at the fallout, which fuelled many people's doubts about the phenomenon and how much man is responsible.
Hey, guess what? If so many of the scientific community hadn't been in collusion to hide data and destroy data and destroy anyone who questioned their Holy Truth, you wouldn't have to worry about this fallout: you brought it on yourselves. And now, when you have to face questions and the facts of how you twisted things, you insult and belittle and lie and spin and yet still demand that you be respected as 'scientists'. And the 'moral ones' trying to save us all.
'There are also people who want to cast doubt on the science therefore it's not surprising that some people are not convinced. Therefore, we have to redouble our efforts, the scientific community has to redouble its efforts to persuade people.

'Frankly, it would be irresponsible for me to pretend anything other than what the scientists are telling me so I don't disagree that there's a long way to go to absolutely convince people of this but I think it's important that we do.'
Note the implication: 'the scientists' tell him this, everyone else is just a deluded doubter
Lord Lawson, the chairman of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, yesterday said Mr Miliband should be 'ashamed' for trying to stifle debate on the issue.

But Mr Miliband hit back, accusing the peer of 'spreading doubt' despite a scientific consensus and insisting the Government could not just to stick its head in the sand.
Ah yes, the 'consensus' that's supposed to convince us; "Ignore the thousands of scientists who say this is crap, or say it is unproven; ONLY pay attention to the consensus we tell you of." Uh huh.

As a side note, anyone else find it ironic that the Governor of CA is busy cheering and breaking bottles to christen a ship that, if his idiotic greenie friends have their way, would never be allowed to fly? Or only for government-approved purposes and people?
