Katie Pavlich, Fast & Furious BS, and Generation Scary

If you’re looking for light summer beach reading then do not, I repeat … do not … buy Katie Pavlich’s disturbing new book, Fast & Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and the Shameless Cover-Up.

Further, if you want to live undisturbed in Obama la-la-land, you need to put your tennis shoes on and run away from this tome. Indeed, Pollyanna, this book will smash all the windows of your enchanted little cottage and grind your rose-colored Obama glasses into powder.

Fast & Furious parlays into the public arena the scurrilous way the ATF, at the behest of the DOJ, allowed thousands of weapons to get into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. These firearms, in turn—as anyone with even half a brain can imagine—were used to slaughter thousands of Mexicans and to take the lives of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and ICE’s Jaime Zapata.

Now, why would our government agents give thousands of working, untraceable arms to some of the worst SOBs on the planet? Well, we the sheeple were told it’s how the ATF could “know who the bad guys are”—or some crap to that effect.

Hey, wizards at the ATF and the DOJ: If you want to know who the major Mexican dirt bags are who are moving big chunks of weed and mowing down their people and ours with AK-47s, why not use Google versus giving Miguel a machine gun? Por qué?

Most folks, when they take a poke into the Fast & Furious debacle, say, “How can our feds be so stupid?” Which begs the question, was placing thousands of functioning, high-powered weapons in filthy thugs’ hands stupidity on steroids or some twisted scheme with a hidden agenda? Pavlich smelled the latter. The DOJ says it was a whoopsie daisy. Katie thinks they should go sell crazy somewhere else.

Pavlich said “puh-lease” to the 5th amendment-pleading DOJ: “If you’re going to bloviate and obfuscate, Mr. Holder, then I’m going to investigate. And if I find dirt then I’m going to expose you and this massive and murderous crime and cover-up.”

And investigate Katie did, and the gold (or, rather, blood) she found led her to pin the blame on the Attorney General, the Department of Homeland Insecurity and ultimately, the president himself. Katie concluded in her investigations, coupled with the insane lack of media attention and the stalling and bawling by the DOJ, that F&F was not an op that went awry but rather a backdoor grab for our guns that was uncovered when Terry was murdered. FYI to naysayers: Good luck refuting Katie’s conclusions.

Finally, I’d like to praise the 23-year-old Miss Pavlich, the product of a strong and loving dad and a stay-at-home mom—y’know, the kind of mom who “doesn’t work” whom the Left loathes? My tribe and I have been friends with Katie for the last couple of years, and here’s what I dig about her personally and professionally and which other young people would do well to emulate …

1. Katie, unlike the occupunks, believes that America and the principles upon which our nation was founded do not suck. She believes that the U.S.A. deserves our respect and is definitely worth fighting for.

2. Katie picks big fights. BHO, the DOJ and Mexican drug cartels are no small targets, mind you. Go big or go home, boys.

3. Katie is a hard worker and is not a prissy wannabe conservative starlet begging to be fawned over.

4. Katie is a happy warrior. Fighting for justice in this crap-laden culture can be a joy-sucking, hopeless business. Katie’s confident, however, that in time truth will prevail; it simply needs someone to find it, dust it off and declare it without fear.

Katie and other young twentysomethings like her whom I know—including both of my daughters and my son-in-law—represent what I have come to call “Generation Scary.” They are some of the scariest and most fearless young patriots walking this great land, and everybody and their dog who loves this country should get behind them and praise them and promote these young charges wherever the sun doth shine.

Once again, for those who can handle truth in an uncut form, this balls-out book picks no small fight and is definitely worth your time and money.

Watergate … meet #Murdergate.

PS: The DOJ just appointed Media Matters to run interference for them regarding Fast & Furious. You cannot make this stuff up.

Is that good or bad?

Bad thing Obama is doing; good website & comments.

[Shady]

Because Bohner would cry.

[MestaMachine]

Murdergate indeed! Ping.

Interestingly another of Bonehead's golf partners is Rush Limbaugh. He has allowed callers to vent about Bonehead. Limbaugh will, of course, say nothing derogatory about a GOP Speaker of the House. His reactions to caller rants is to make the series of incoherent noises and part words he uses when you know he is choking down what he really wants to say. He always will say only that Bonehead is ‘a decent guy’. Which is really damming faint praise. Limbaugh's whole focus is ‘just get rid of obama before he destroys the Republic’. Therefore everything else has to be subordinated to that end. So Fast and Furious is 100 bigger than Watergate but if Bonehead won't push it just let it lie. The goal is to defeat the man and administration that created Fast and Furious. That I suppose is what is the essence of what drives so many people here so crazy. There are so many bad things being done with the connivance of the GOP establishment that people here want more than driving Obama from office . They want the GOP purged of ‘moderate’ opportunists. Unfortunately politics is nothing more than institutional opportunism so we are never likely to get some things undone. Unfortunately some of these such as the end to ‘Don't Ask Don't Tell’ will have really negative consequences. But the consequences will be far worse of Obama is around for another four years and the Dems have a decent shot at having an Obama like candidate win in 2016.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Issa is just a mouth piece grandstanding. NOTHING comes of any of the issues before him save the occasional soundbite.

[stephenjohnbanker]

MSM.....closed to the public.

[Venturer]

I think you are right. We are never going to see a case built with Issa building it.

Beyond the deaths of US Agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata...

200-300 Mexicans murdered, killed by thousands of weapons supplied to the cartels by the US government (and the number of dead growing)

........and Obama and Holder are visibly not the least bit perturbed!

Nobody fired, nobody arrested, no criminal investigation, just an 16-month long IG internal inquiry that STILL hasn't interviewed many of the players.....by a personal friend of Eric Holder, Cynthia Schnedar, who worked very, very closely on many cases (14 and counting) with Eric Holder in the 1990's.

Since everyone else is throwing racial firebombs, maybe we should ask Why Eric Holder and Barack Obama don't find murdering Mexicans a big deal?
