Never mind the fact that the NRA goes into a hiding hole in the ground somewhere everytime there is a dust up, leaving 2nd Amendment Supporters and Law Abiding Gun Owners to fend for themselves, which brings the usual question around these times. Where is the NRA? A more important question needs to be asked. As we see so-called "pro gun" Democrats warming up to tighter gun controls, according to reports, we may just see where are membership dues went to those who will not help. How many of these Democrats that will come out for gun control laws did...

With concern that the current Speaker of the House will cave on issues such as the debt limit, it is time to make Paul Ryan Speaker of the House. Please contact your U.S. Representative.

Looks like the Herald got busted for not showing Romney's whole interview at first. She even said in the video they only posted part of it. Romney did NOT agree at any point with Roberts and the Court majority. But you need more than a 5 second attention span so you can actually listen to the whole thing.

The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today. "As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder told reporters.

“The C-SPAN cameras were gone and the microphones were off, but that didn’t stop a small group of Republicans from taking over the House floor after the House adjourned for five weeks to attack Democrats for leaving town without doing something to lower gas prices.”

I had planned on leaving this alone, but the Marine sitting in the chair next to me is highly offended and I don't blame him. http://www.kirklockhart.com/?p=60#comments

It is worth repeating that Henry Cisneros is actually held a position in the Executive Branch much higher that the position that was held by Scooter Libby. Henry Cisneros was the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Appointed by Bill Clinton. In 1997, because of investigations against him that began in 1995, Cisneros resigned his position. In December of 1997 Cisneros was indicted on 18 counts of conspiracy, giving false statements and obstruction of justice. In September of 1999, facing the reality that he would be convicted and sent to jail, Cisneros negotiated a plea agreement, under which he pleaded...

I credit Grampa Dave with this info. He posted a list of pardons. Looks like Slick Willy pardoned a person who passed off classified information. The guy did not even have to pay a fine: MORISON, Samuel Loring Crofton, Maryland Willful transmission of defense information, unauthorized possession and retention of defense information, theft of government property

Dick Morris was just on Hannity and Idiot. When asked by Idiot about the Commutation issue, Morris pointed out how Clinton lied under oath and got NO punishment. He then stated how the Clintons SOLD PARDONS. He mentioned how the Clintons pardoned Mark Rich after his wife gave a large donation to the Clinton Library. Also how he gave pardons to other criminals who donated to the Clintons.

Liberals have really lost it. On the other hand, you have to hand it to the little moonbat for her dedication. Cause it sounds like she has done way too many drugs in her lifetime. I have no personal experience, but I have heard that smoking that wacky stuff is supposed to make one really hungry...

Just want to send out a huge Thank You to Senator Jeff Sessions (R- Alabama). He was heading the charge, along with Jim DeMint from South Carolina, against the Amnesty bill in the Senate. He was thorn in the so-called leadership's side. His presence and his pressure had a major impact.

The buzz in Republican circles tonight is about Senator Voinovich's melt down on the Sean Hannity Show today. Voinovich's latest biggest political mistake was allowing himself to be put on air about an issue that he obviously had no real knowledge of. Usually that is the norm for many from the Hill, but when the issue is immigration, timing is everything. Hannity managed to bring the facts of the issue up, as well as research that shows what a disaster amnesty would be to the nation's financial well being and security. And by the time the his royal arrogance Voinovich...

Freepers, I am sure many of you are aware that US Congressman Michael Burgess of Texas (Republican) started the bill to get Byron Nelson (Golfer, Gentleman, Hero) the Congressional Gold Medal for his years of public service. And I am sure many of you know that Congressman Burgess secured the a favorable vote from all House members last session, as well as be victorious in lobbying the Senate, along with the help of US Senator John Cornyn. Did you know that, today, at the Byron Nelson, Congressman Burgess, along with Lord Byron's wife, unveiled the artist design of the medal....

Heads Up, Freepers. We just got wind of a hack piece that the local Dallas CBS station, cBS 11, is going to run against the hard working folks at the Dallas Veterans Hospital. The VA in Dallas seems to have gotten some complaints from some of their patients that they were bothered by the "reporter" and felt uncomfortable by his questioning. The "reporter" managed to find a couple of patients who were upset with their situation. Which could be done in any hospital, church, and yes, News Station. Here is the kicker of it all. The "reporter" that cBS 11...

PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES AND ORGANIZERS SCORE BIG VICTORIES - Americans for Democratic Action sees, in the new Congress, a great opportunity for progress and change. ADA National Director Amy Isaacs said of the hard fought election season, "Two years ago -- after a 'terrible, horribly, no good, very bad day' -- we wrote that political depression was a luxury we simply couldn't afford. We pledged to fight with all our might to reverse the results of that disheartening election. And, we did. We moved mountains and we couldn't be more proud." Beginning the day after the November 2004 elections, ADA took...

Did anybody else catch the end of that idiot Olbermann's show tonight and then see Scarborough try to match him. Before I go further, let me just say. I had not intention of watching those two freaks. I was watching FSU and NC State and the dog stepped on the remote. State was moving the ball and I was in a hurry to get it back to the game. One digit off later and Olbermann is on my tv losing it like Rosie finding out her housekeeper might be a gun toting Republican. It was the tail end of Meltdown...

I just saw where ABC is claiming that 3 Pages, who won't give names and are giving "verbal accounts", offering no documentation of physical evidence, were approached by Foley. After looking at the ABC article, it looks like ABC is in panic mode since the Drudge Report broke the story that friends of one of the Page's who was an IM recipient said it was actually a joke and the IM's fell INTO THE HANDS OF DEMOCRAT OPERATIVES ON THE HILL! It is obvious that Democrats and ABC (as well as Joe Scarborough who is just dying to poke a...

I don't think this will shock anybody. I spoke with an old pal today who works on the Hill. My pal informed me that the majority of Congress critters, their Chiefs of Staff (the person who really calls the shots in the Congressional office), and other staffers on the Republican side have already written off keeping the majority in the House. My pal mentioned that many staffers were told as far back as last January that it was highly likely that Republicans would lose the majority. HOW PATHETIC IS THAT???? Word from the Hill is that as of Friday, the...

Drudge Report just ran a splash that says the following: "ROLL CALL reports tonight: Hundreds of contacts between top White House officials and former lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates “raise serious questions about the legality and actions” of those officials, according to a draft bipartisan report prepared by the House Government Reform Committee." Notice how Drudge made it read that is is the draft report by the House that says the issues "raise serious questions about the legality and actions" etc. However, the actual Roll Call article points out that it is some Democrats, not the report, that made...
