Maybe, maybe not. The left is panicking because they’ve lost the narrative on “gun safety” after San Bernadino. Since the New York Times did their first front-page editorial in 95 years on gun confiscation, the Huffington Post and New Republic have also come out demanding an end to civilian gun ownership in the US. The governor of Connecticut is enacting a terrorist-watch-list gun sales ban, claiming he was urged to by the white house. And there’s a rumor in the Associated Press that Obama may finally be moving on an Executive Order.
If that happens after people heard his last speech and felt even more abandoned and less sure of their domestic safety, it’s going to be seen by many as a signal to lock and load. Someone desperately needs to explain to them that you Never go Full Retard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6WHBO_Qc-Q

You think all of the background checks the ATF has been doing all these years were just immediately erased? ALL of the checks have been de facto registration. Why do you think the ATF insists on the gun store telling them the gun _and_ serial number on every call? They don’t need to know the that to do a background check.
All of the 4473 forms have been copied by ATF as well, to catch those sales which did not require a background check (as in Oregon and Montana when you have a CCW permit – no check is required, since you passed a background check to get your permit).
Other than private sales, the Feds mostly know who owns what, and where. As in every other country, registration first, then confiscation, the democide (starting with us “domestic extremists” if the Left has there way. Here in fly-over country though, they will lose a lot of agents if they attempt it. The story of Sipsey Street was also a manual, not just a story.

I should check my typing before rushing to hit the “Post” button.
“then democide” and “if the Left has _their_ way”.)
RegT, you may be confusing separate but related processes.
All firearms transfers through an FFL require a 4473 form to be filled out, part by the buyer and part by the seller. And yes the details of the firearm(s) being transferred are recorded on it. But the NICS (what you call background checks) takes only the information on the buyer, not what he’s buying other than whether handgun, long gun, or both. NO brand, model, or serial numbers are taken by the FBI in most cases.
Some states have their own system where that information can be required (but not always, such as here in FL), but the state system operator does not provide that to the FBI, it is for state records only, ostensibly to check for stolen guns. And states where dealers directly access the federal system no specific gun information is provided.
The law requires NICS records to be destroyed within a short time, the idea being it prevents fed knowledge of how many and what type guns may be owned by an individual, although many doubt if this is always done. ATF agents are also not allowed to make copies of a dealer’s 4473’s; they stay with the dealer until he goes out of business and is required to ship them to a depository, so yes eventually the feds will have a record of who bought exactly what guns but usually not for many years after the fact. And I have heard of ATF inspection agents making copies of a dealer’s 4473’s when performing a site inspection, but again it is expressly forbidden by law.
Another exception is when an individual buys more than one handgun and/or long gun other than .22’s with detachable magazine from the same dealer within five consecutive business days. In those cases a separate form is filled out by the dealer with both the individual’s information and the specifics on the guns, this being an effort to curtail individuals buying multiple guns for resale. For this reason I always advise customers to spread their purchases out if possible.
And ATF can perform traces on guns wherein they call a dealer and ask for the disposition information on a particular gun that the dealer has bought from a wholesaler; this is supposed to be to track guns used in crimes, but there is suspicion that they are also randomly done both to check on compliance with records requirements of dealers and to get information on who is buying particular types of guns often associated with crime.
So those are the actual laws, ymmv as to whether you believe the feds follow them. I did the FFL thing for many years though not in the last several, and my experience was pretty cooperative; the fed agents I dealt with were pretty straightforward and respectful of the laws. Can’t really vouch for the changes in that regulatory relationship since then, but I do hear some horror stories.

Cruz would be a sure thing to expunge all those executive orders…I am not sure about Rubio…or Trump…but either of them would be FAR FAR more acceptable than Hildebeast.
I think Trump would for sure lift Obama’s immigration edicts…his gun control, well, you got a point, who knows.
But, as Winston Churchill said “If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.”
I would vote for nearly ANY of these Republicans, squishy as they are, to defeat the Hildebeast….nothing else matters as much as sending her fat ass out to pasture….and then to the Federal Courthouse for violating numerous USC statutes on protecting classified information.

Gokart-Mozart, who’s a very insightful commenter on Richard Fernandez’ “Belmont Club” blog (on PJMedia.com) posted earlier today that the globalist elites are succumbing to their own hubris, in the sense that they’re so convinced they’ve already “won”, that they’ve reached the point where they can’t be stopped or rolled-back from achieving their utopian dreams of global rule, that they’re getting careless, impulsive and rushed in their statements and actions.
In their minds they’re so close to total victory now they can taste it. They no longer believe they need to take the various steps to implement their agendas in a careful, gradual, measured pace, but are so giddy and flush with success and power they’re dropping any pretense of “serving” the people they supposedly represent, and are quite openly and arrogantly showing their contempt for anyone who disagrees with them and jamming things down their throats. This belief of the so-called “elites” and leaders of Western civilization, and their supporting “nomenklatura” in the bureaucracies, media, academia, et al. that they’re unstoppable and invulnerable, both in the United States and Europe, is truly ironic, since one can make a good case that things are just about to spin out of their control.
Chris, as usual, has with DBD masterfully and powerfully illustrated this evolution and transition in our domestic situation with regard to Obama’s running out of control. In addition, Matt Bracken, author of the excellent “Enemies: Foreign and Domestic” trilogy, has just written another essay which echoes and expands on that with regard to what he believes is an imminent European explosion of violence and bloodshed. This is a result of the leaders of the European nations treating their people just like Obama has treated us, i.e., complete betrayal. The ironic result, of course, is that these elites are going to be shocked when things don’t go their way! I highly recommend Matt’s article:
TET, TAKE TWO: ISLAM’S 2016 EUROPEAN OFFENSIVE
By Matthew Bracken, November 2015
I also recommend watching, if you haven’t seen it already, the following video:
With Open Gates: The forced collective suicide of European nations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44vzMNG2fZc It shows the uncensored truth of how the Islamic/Muslim invaders in Europe are brutally and violently overwhelming the native Germans, Swedes, etc. in their own “*home towns”. (*Note: coming soon to America)
Finally, in the midst of our pondering the dire nature of current circumstances, I offer a positive anecdote! As a long time Bruce Campbell fan, I’ve enjoyed Chris’ evocative panels and illustrations inspired by his “Evil Dead” portrayals. I also noted there was some speculation regarding Campbell’s political/ideological leanings. Back when “Burn Notice” was still in production, an acquaintance who was one of the production crew related that in one episode, where Jeffrey Donovan/Michael Westen and Bruce Campbell/Sam Axe were having a discussion in Michael’s apartment, the book on the coffee table between them was Matt Bracken’s second “Enemies” novel, “Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista”. Of course that says nothing specific or definitive about Campbell’s or Donovan’s politics, but at least neither of the stars objected and demanded it be replaced with Hillary’s “It Takes A Village” or Obama’s “Dreams From My Father” or “Audacity Of Hope”! I’ll take that as a good sign!

I admit that I’d been thinking of islamic attacks in one-and-done fashion like we’ve seen to date. I really should have considered a loosely-coordinated “Tet” mass campaign with little/no communication tail to point to cells.
I’d be more concerned about the US if people hadn’t sucked the AR-15 market dry this week, after sales had been flat there all year. As for Europe, I’ve read that some people are desperately trying to tool up there as best they can in local circumstance, but I’ve been at the “shake your yead, shrug, and walk away” point with Europe’s self-harming behavior and if-something-goes-wrong-the-Americans-will-fix-it-for-us attitude for a while now.

What makes them think enough of us will comply? All it took was roughly 3% in the 18th century. Anybody expect 97% compliance with such an edict? Has ANY government program been 97% effective – EVER? The Aussies damned sure didn’t get anywhere CLOSE to that. Hell’s Bells! I don’t believe they even achieved 50% compliance. 50% compliance with an order to disarm is about as useful as 50% of a parachute!

My impression is that Obummer was in over his head from the start..he has no legislative or negotiating skills (his method of negotiating is hold his breath like a five year old who doesn’t get his way and yell “Racist!” to anyone who opposes him)…his sole “achievement”–Obamascare– was passed solely by DemocRATS in Congress with very little work by him. Other than that and the Stimulus give-away to his green energy and big government cronies he has no lasting legislative legacy.
His numerous Executive Decrees can be undone by the next Republican/Conservative President…and then he is left with nothing. And for all his bluster about gun control…he can AT BEST use some dubious executive action to go after the liberal Chimera “gun show loophole” that had nothing to do with how the Islamoterrorists in CA got their guns…and I assume the NRA already has their lawyers warming up the court challenge to that overreach…and that stupidity may actually spur a Congress looking to 2016 to act…remember, Obama ain’t on the ballot anymore…..
His only real legacy is the decimation of the Democratic Party at the state level, likely a more damaging consequence of his Presidency than his party is willing to admit.
MY impression is that Obama is ANNOYED that he might have to work or, worse yet, make important decisions his last year of office. It is clear to me that he expected to bask in the adulation of his “Economic Recovery”–a MYTH with 94 Million Americans still out of the work force….and his awesome OBAMACARE-which is crumbling every day. His deer in the headlights look just reflects his basic laziness, shiftlessness, and cluelessness that he has had since 1/20/2009…only now a greater part of the American people are waking up to the total load of crap they were sold be the media handlers of the Obama “image.”
Being a dictator is hard work…I think bammy just wants run out the clock without having to make any REALLY hard decisions that he can be held accountable for, go play golf and take a few more awesome vacations on the taxpayer travel card, then retire and make big bucks on the rubber chicken circuit, and wash his hands of all the peasants that were too clingy to their guns and religion to recognize his total awesomeness.
After all, there’s no greater job than being an ex-President…nearly all the perks, and none of the responsibilities.
Stay strong DBD peeps…1/20/2017 is coming…

His best friends are not black, they are white and Jewish.

I don’t understand it but it is the truth.
The most fanatic leftist you can find is white and Jewish.
He’s also totally disconnected from reality, rabidly self hating and suicidal.
Facts are facts.
It’s probably a disease after thousand of years of the most ferocious persecution.
The persecution was and is, undeserved, immoral and criminal but the consequences can not be ignored.
Some twisted Stockholm syndrome or something.

A mouse probably.
But millions went into the nazi gas chambers and very few seem to have bit anyone.

So, no.

Civilization makes people soft and defenseless.
And prone to obey.
Why do we use the word “sheeple”?

Even a rat knows when the ship is sinking. I wonder how the future will explain the worst president ever, spanning two centuries. Mitt was right, 47% are truly ignorant, too bad it encompasses a lot who think a college degree makes them smart.

I have called them Constitution Free Zones.
I have considered putting stickers below signs that indicate No Guns Allowed.
I have considered signs stating “Constitution Free Zone” outside of universities and schools and other places where the constitution has been banned or not in use. Outside the white house is one consideration. The DC border. The ACLU. SPLC. PP. Many churches. Many parks. Many malls. Sports venues. Many possibilities fit the bill.
A small industry could be created to sell such. All that is needed is an original copy (or a computer) and a printer and the proper sticky sheet to feed into it. Higher quality ones are also possible.
I have often had many great thoughts and ideas. Then I see that others have already walked the path or one near it or similar to it. The net age is good in that we can spread ideas in a new manner similar to the old manner. I like (light fires?) dropping gems in various places. Some work. Some are not gems at all. I like finding gems. I like finding people who have developed ideas further along and are describing what I may have just seen, or have been seeing for decades that almost all I run into do not see, or are possibly complicit in.
The No Fly List is a Constitution Free Zone.
Death. I wonder how the massive swath of dead as a result of O’s guidance across North Africa and the Middle East feel?
What of the dead in Kenya where Obama intervened (What Logan Act?) for his Muslim Luo tribe relatives. One of who campaigned to replace the constitution with Sharia Law.
What of Europe which is receiving the Muslim hijrah army driven there byhis setting the fire after billions of US and Soros tinder was laid down before the Arab +Spring?” Then the invaded Muslim jihad army in Syria and Iraq meant to overthrow Assad had been pounded and so many retreated to Europe through Turkey as “Syrian refugees.” There they continue jihad.
A conspiracy is a plan.
So many others are looking at and doing what I felt that I was just one or a small few doing. that is good. The forces of good and truth seem to be rallying to prevent the evil that has gathered from doing full destruction of what good people consider to be what humanity should be.
We all were given our burn notices or scheduled to be burned without notice by the Armies of Darkness. Ash does well in returning such to ashes. They have no real friends in their Army of Darkness.
There are so many more aware every day. i see that in my conversations among people I meet all around. There is penetration of the normalcy bias. There is even the slightest penetration of the normalcy bias among the fellow travelers of the Leftist Army of Darkness.
Words. But what must be done will be done in its proper time and means.
Why must I write so much? The others here are saying so much, so well.

Nah, he’s done….he may bluster some executive orders to placate his loony base…but they can be undone with the stroke of a pen….gun confiscation?
Another lefty nirvana desire…never gonna happen..what was the old joke…Obama can’t find 11 million illegal aliens…he’s gonna find 300 million guns?
406 days…and counting down…
I pray you’re right and his indolence is stronger than his narcissism.
You think all of the background checks the ATF has been doing all these years were just immediately erased? ALL of the checks have been de facto registration. Why do you think the ATF insists on the gun store telling them the gun _and_ serial number on every call? They don’t need to know the that to do a background check.
All of the 4473 forms have been copied by ATF as well, to catch those sales which did not require a background check (as in Oregon and Montana when you have a CCW permit – no check is required, since you passed a background check to get your permit).
Other than private sales, the Feds mostly know who owns what, and where. As in every other country, registration first, then confiscation, the democide (starting with us “domestic extremists” if the Left has there way. Here in fly-over country though, they will lose a lot of agents if they attempt it. The story of Sipsey Street was also a manual, not just a story.
I should check my typing before rushing to hit the “Post” button.
“then democide” and “if the Left has _their_ way”.)
RegT, you may be confusing separate but related processes.
All firearms transfers through an FFL require a 4473 form to be filled out, part by the buyer and part by the seller. And yes the details of the firearm(s) being transferred are recorded on it. But the NICS (what you call background checks) takes only the information on the buyer, not what he’s buying other than whether handgun, long gun, or both. NO brand, model, or serial numbers are taken by the FBI in most cases.
Some states have their own system where that information can be required (but not always, such as here in FL), but the state system operator does not provide that to the FBI, it is for state records only, ostensibly to check for stolen guns. And states where dealers directly access the federal system no specific gun information is provided.
The law requires NICS records to be destroyed within a short time, the idea being it prevents fed knowledge of how many and what type guns may be owned by an individual, although many doubt if this is always done. ATF agents are also not allowed to make copies of a dealer’s 4473’s; they stay with the dealer until he goes out of business and is required to ship them to a depository, so yes eventually the feds will have a record of who bought exactly what guns but usually not for many years after the fact. And I have heard of ATF inspection agents making copies of a dealer’s 4473’s when performing a site inspection, but again it is expressly forbidden by law.
Another exception is when an individual buys more than one handgun and/or long gun other than .22’s with detachable magazine from the same dealer within five consecutive business days. In those cases a separate form is filled out by the dealer with both the individual’s information and the specifics on the guns, this being an effort to curtail individuals buying multiple guns for resale. For this reason I always advise customers to spread their purchases out if possible.
And ATF can perform traces on guns wherein they call a dealer and ask for the disposition information on a particular gun that the dealer has bought from a wholesaler; this is supposed to be to track guns used in crimes, but there is suspicion that they are also randomly done both to check on compliance with records requirements of dealers and to get information on who is buying particular types of guns often associated with crime.
So those are the actual laws, ymmv as to whether you believe the feds follow them. I did the FFL thing for many years though not in the last several, and my experience was pretty cooperative; the fed agents I dealt with were pretty straightforward and respectful of the laws. Can’t really vouch for the changes in that regulatory relationship since then, but I do hear some horror stories.

Whose pen? Biden’s? Hildabeast’s? Sanders’? Trump’s? Christie’s? Rubio’s? Carson’s? Aside from Cruz, who else do you suppose might even consider doing it?
Whose pen?
Biden’s? {DONE, stick a fork in him}
Hildabeast’s? {NOPE, she might be worse, IF elected…I don’t think that’s a done deal}
Sanders’? {Not gonna happen}
Trump’s?
Christie’s? {DONE, stick a fork in him, but stand back}
Rubio’s?
Carson’s? {DONE, stick a fork in him}
Aside from Cruz, who else do you suppose might even consider doing it?
Cruz would be a sure thing to expunge all those executive orders…I am not sure about Rubio…or Trump…but either of them would be FAR FAR more acceptable than Hildebeast.
I think Trump would for sure lift Obama’s immigration edicts…his gun control, well, you got a point, who knows.
But, as Winston Churchill said “If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.”
I would vote for nearly ANY of these Republicans, squishy as they are, to defeat the Hildebeast….nothing else matters as much as sending her fat ass out to pasture….and then to the Federal Courthouse for violating numerous USC statutes on protecting classified information.
Grunt Gl, Trump has stated that he carries concealed on occasion and feels comfortable with his employees carrying if they wish to.
No reason for us to go “full retard” either…….
I’ve always felt that Obama is lucky not too be a Republican. If he had been a Republican a Democrat would have assassinated him before his first term was up.
Funny how the MSM hasn’t yet started the “Lame Duck” jargon and still refer to 0bama as if he was relevant…
Because he is. You have noticed how The RINOS in Congress are falling all over themselves to do whatever he wants? It’s like he’s holding their families hostage. Even Harry Reid doesn’t complain about them that much anymore.
I don’t “wish” any violence upon anyone but if the “O” were to not survive his term I would. Not. cry. a. single. tear.
On the other hand I am also one of those who “are done backing up”.

Chris a question … I am sometimes a few days between visits and usually the comments are closed up to the current date but it seems that they are still open for the past few days. You are aware of this? Looking for more responses?
I admire your spunk but find that poking a sleeping tiger is usually bad juju and best done with a Barrett from a little over 400 yds. (or more with the right ammo)
I’m still looking forward to the Xmas swimming party at the pond. ahem

Oh and I almost forgot … GO NAVY

Oh yea. The most important week of college football. Go Navy!!

Heh…none taken..it is the most important college football game of the year.
Swimming party, oh yea.
Even a cornered mouse will bite. I’ve had several hanging off my glove by the teeth.
I just fractured two of their skulls in the last day and incinerated their remains. It’s a problem easily solved. Mercilessly
yeesh.
I took that to mean he removed them from the mousetrap, walked across the basement, and tossed them into the radiator-boiler’s firebox.
Oh yeah, and to today’s first word balloon, Mr Muir: \o/.
Capn, I believe you are referring to Colin Ryan’s outstanding “When Men Become Truly Free”.
Here’s a YouTube of Des Brittian reciting it with the words appearing as subtitles:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pyAMF413o4
Here is a plain, no frills version of Brittian reciting the words to Ryan’s poem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWd9udjmB80
The first version has powerful, disturbing images and a musical soundtrack. The second is just Des Brittian in (presumably) his study reading Ryan’s poem. The audio of Brittian reading is the same in both.
Thanks OD
Unfortunately (or fortunately at times … my opinion changes with the subject matter) Ahem … unfortunately thanks to my residing in a very rural area with only a dial-up connection I am unable to download videos. Even short ones take so much time that I lose interest after watching the first three seconds of a video take 20 minutes to load (buffering … ) (buffering …) zip two seconds of video (buffering … ) (buffering …) et cetera ad nauseum.
A short text version is much more accessible for me.
Thanks again.

Short answer is “administrative law”. For an understand read the linked issue of Hillsdale College’s publication, “Imprimis”> It explains the subject very well.

(You can either click on the link and read the issue online or rightclick and “save as” to save the pdf to read later.)
To Booth’s phrase “Sic Semper Tyrannus” (Thus always to tyrants), should be added a second line (google translate version) “Et Eorum Servis” (and to their minions). Six words which should strike fear into the tyrants and those who do their dirty work.
Sic Semper Tyrannus,
Et Eorum Servis!

read it, people. Connecticut is already screwed.
But CT has already nullified many of the prior passed unConstitutional state laws (passed immediately after the Sandy Hook shooting) with WWNC (We Will Not Comply). I’m sure the good citizens (as opposed to knee-bending ass-kissing Gooberment worshiping serfs) will figure out a way around this current crop of asshattery.

21st century version: Krazy glue and packing peanuts.
Gokart-Mozart, who’s a very insightful commenter on Richard Fernandez’ “Belmont Club” blog (on PJMedia.com) posted earlier today that the globalist elites are succumbing to their own hubris, in the sense that they’re so convinced they’ve already “won”, that they’ve reached the point where they can’t be stopped or rolled-back from achieving their utopian dreams of global rule, that they’re getting careless, impulsive and rushed in their statements and actions.
In their minds they’re so close to total victory now they can taste it. They no longer believe they need to take the various steps to implement their agendas in a careful, gradual, measured pace, but are so giddy and flush with success and power they’re dropping any pretense of “serving” the people they supposedly represent, and are quite openly and arrogantly showing their contempt for anyone who disagrees with them and jamming things down their throats. This belief of the so-called “elites” and leaders of Western civilization, and their supporting “nomenklatura” in the bureaucracies, media, academia, et al. that they’re unstoppable and invulnerable, both in the United States and Europe, is truly ironic, since one can make a good case that things are just about to spin out of their control.
Chris, as usual, has with DBD masterfully and powerfully illustrated this evolution and transition in our domestic situation with regard to Obama’s running out of control. In addition, Matt Bracken, author of the excellent “Enemies: Foreign and Domestic” trilogy, has just written another essay which echoes and expands on that with regard to what he believes is an imminent European explosion of violence and bloodshed. This is a result of the leaders of the European nations treating their people just like Obama has treated us, i.e., complete betrayal. The ironic result, of course, is that these elites are going to be shocked when things don’t go their way! I highly recommend Matt’s article:
TET, TAKE TWO: ISLAM’S 2016 EUROPEAN OFFENSIVE
By Matthew Bracken, November 2015
https://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2015/11/29/bracken-tet-take-two-islams-2016-european-offensive/
It can also be found at Gates of Vienna: http://gatesofvienna.net/2015/11/tet-take-two-islams-2016-european-offensive/
I also recommend watching, if you haven’t seen it already, the following video:
With Open Gates: The forced collective suicide of European nations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44vzMNG2fZc It shows the uncensored truth of how the Islamic/Muslim invaders in Europe are brutally and violently overwhelming the native Germans, Swedes, etc. in their own “*home towns”. (*Note: coming soon to America)
Finally, in the midst of our pondering the dire nature of current circumstances, I offer a positive anecdote! As a long time Bruce Campbell fan, I’ve enjoyed Chris’ evocative panels and illustrations inspired by his “Evil Dead” portrayals. I also noted there was some speculation regarding Campbell’s political/ideological leanings. Back when “Burn Notice” was still in production, an acquaintance who was one of the production crew related that in one episode, where Jeffrey Donovan/Michael Westen and Bruce Campbell/Sam Axe were having a discussion in Michael’s apartment, the book on the coffee table between them was Matt Bracken’s second “Enemies” novel, “Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista”. Of course that says nothing specific or definitive about Campbell’s or Donovan’s politics, but at least neither of the stars objected and demanded it be replaced with Hillary’s “It Takes A Village” or Obama’s “Dreams From My Father” or “Audacity Of Hope”! I’ll take that as a good sign!
I admit that I’d been thinking of islamic attacks in one-and-done fashion like we’ve seen to date. I really should have considered a loosely-coordinated “Tet” mass campaign with little/no communication tail to point to cells.
I’d be more concerned about the US if people hadn’t sucked the AR-15 market dry this week, after sales had been flat there all year. As for Europe, I’ve read that some people are desperately trying to tool up there as best they can in local circumstance, but I’ve been at the “shake your yead, shrug, and walk away” point with Europe’s self-harming behavior and if-something-goes-wrong-the-Americans-will-fix-it-for-us attitude for a while now.

Because he wants to get to “the other” so. damn. bad…it’s the pesky thing he’s most afraid of; bullies are also cowards.
What makes them think enough of us will comply? All it took was roughly 3% in the 18th century. Anybody expect 97% compliance with such an edict? Has ANY government program been 97% effective – EVER? The Aussies damned sure didn’t get anywhere CLOSE to that. Hell’s Bells! I don’t believe they even achieved 50% compliance. 50% compliance with an order to disarm is about as useful as 50% of a parachute!
Having read all the comments so far, pre posting, you do know the MGMMPOS isn’t planning on leaving at end-of-term, don’t you? Get ready, the party is about to start.
My impression is that Obummer was in over his head from the start..he has no legislative or negotiating skills (his method of negotiating is hold his breath like a five year old who doesn’t get his way and yell “Racist!” to anyone who opposes him)…his sole “achievement”–Obamascare– was passed solely by DemocRATS in Congress with very little work by him. Other than that and the Stimulus give-away to his green energy and big government cronies he has no lasting legislative legacy.
His numerous Executive Decrees can be undone by the next Republican/Conservative President…and then he is left with nothing. And for all his bluster about gun control…he can AT BEST use some dubious executive action to go after the liberal Chimera “gun show loophole” that had nothing to do with how the Islamoterrorists in CA got their guns…and I assume the NRA already has their lawyers warming up the court challenge to that overreach…and that stupidity may actually spur a Congress looking to 2016 to act…remember, Obama ain’t on the ballot anymore…..
His only real legacy is the decimation of the Democratic Party at the state level, likely a more damaging consequence of his Presidency than his party is willing to admit.
MY impression is that Obama is ANNOYED that he might have to work or, worse yet, make important decisions his last year of office. It is clear to me that he expected to bask in the adulation of his “Economic Recovery”–a MYTH with 94 Million Americans still out of the work force….and his awesome OBAMACARE-which is crumbling every day. His deer in the headlights look just reflects his basic laziness, shiftlessness, and cluelessness that he has had since 1/20/2009…only now a greater part of the American people are waking up to the total load of crap they were sold be the media handlers of the Obama “image.”
Being a dictator is hard work…I think bammy just wants run out the clock without having to make any REALLY hard decisions that he can be held accountable for, go play golf and take a few more awesome vacations on the taxpayer travel card, then retire and make big bucks on the rubber chicken circuit, and wash his hands of all the peasants that were too clingy to their guns and religion to recognize his total awesomeness.
After all, there’s no greater job than being an ex-President…nearly all the perks, and none of the responsibilities.
Stay strong DBD peeps…1/20/2017 is coming…
And hopefully so is Xmas frolicking in the swimming hole….. 🙂
His best friends are not black, they are white and Jewish.
And, no, there’s not a hint of anti-Semite in me.
I don’t understand it but it is the truth.
The most fanatic leftist you can find is white and Jewish.
He’s also totally disconnected from reality, rabidly self hating and suicidal.
Facts are facts.
It’s probably a disease after thousand of years of the most ferocious persecution.
The persecution was and is, undeserved, immoral and criminal but the consequences can not be ignored.
Some twisted Stockholm syndrome or something.
As to hussein, no matter what he does, he won’t even miss breakfast.
“Even a cornered mouse will bite.”
A mouse probably.
But millions went into the nazi gas chambers and very few seem to have bit anyone.
People simply undressed, walked in and waited for the doors to close without even pushing.
So, no.
The way of the wise is to recognize the truth not to fool himself.
Civilization makes people soft and defenseless.
And prone to obey.
Why do we use the word “sheeple”?
I didn’t realize he had any best friends. Care to tell us who they are?
Agreed, he has only fair weather friends as does the Hill.
O’Baja hasn’t an original thought in his head, he spouts platitudes like any modern college underachiever.
All his life he has been told he is the light, turns out he is a 7 watt nightlight, goes off during the day. As his power is waining, those using that weak light will leave, to find other paths more clearly defined.
Even a rat knows when the ship is sinking. I wonder how the future will explain the worst president ever, spanning two centuries. Mitt was right, 47% are truly ignorant, too bad it encompasses a lot who think a college degree makes them smart.
Stick that in your platitude and smoke it, stoner.
You are joking, right?
OK, I’ll play along.
Give you some examples:
1) Soros
2) Barbra Streisand
3) Woody Allen
4) Noam Chomsky
5) Steven Spielberg
6) Rahm Emanuel
7) David Axelrod
8) Elena Kagan
9) Michael Bloomberg
If you don’t know American Jews are rabidly liberal you don’t know much on the subject. American Jews are so collectivist that they are anti Israel and many a time they sound just anti-Semitic. How may of them are in favor of pisslim immigration? The very pisslims that want to cut their throats!
The people you mention are supporters, not best friends. Obama likes their money, but they aren’t members of his chum gang.
Obama’s personal associations are with the likes of Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan. None of them are white and most of them are Jew haters.
I bet some of your best friends are Jewish, however.
“Chum”. Isn’t that another word for “fish bait”?
Yup. Fish bait it is!
I toyed with the word “scum”, but decided to take the high road.
With each passing day, “Hairplug Joe” Biden (America’s first certifiably brain-damaged Vice-President) looks less and less effective as “assassination insurance.”
Impeach. Too many people are on a hair trigger, wanting riots in the street, to give them such a cause and a martyr.
Detail his ‘High crimes and misdemeanors’ for all to see.
Sorry, but I’d be more likely to believe a headline announcing a genuine, scientifically validated virgin birth – of a MALE CHILD no less – than a headline of the Senate convicting Obama. And that is even with the current majority party in the Senate.
Wouldn’t put it past the tool in charge to put 90% on the NFL.
That would collapse the airlines and all the peripheral industries.
Damn stoners mess living a free life up for everyone just because it suits them.
Sorry to disagree with you, Chris. I’m hoping that Barak enjoys a long life after he’s out of office. I hope that in a very short time, he’s regarded as THE MOST INCOMPETENT, TRATOR ever to come near the Presidency.
I expect & pray that he finds himself castigated by both the Left & Right. In short – a nothing burger.
A lovely hope I am sure that all here would find fantastic.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to have inconvenienced Jimmy Carter. I want more for Obama.
A marine officer told me that they say “Where’s a bus when you need one.”
No martyrdom, then.
It’s become a family saying.
I have called them Constitution Free Zones.
I have considered putting stickers below signs that indicate No Guns Allowed.
I have considered signs stating “Constitution Free Zone” outside of universities and schools and other places where the constitution has been banned or not in use. Outside the white house is one consideration. The DC border. The ACLU. SPLC. PP. Many churches. Many parks. Many malls. Sports venues. Many possibilities fit the bill.
A small industry could be created to sell such. All that is needed is an original copy (or a computer) and a printer and the proper sticky sheet to feed into it. Higher quality ones are also possible.
I have often had many great thoughts and ideas. Then I see that others have already walked the path or one near it or similar to it. The net age is good in that we can spread ideas in a new manner similar to the old manner. I like (light fires?) dropping gems in various places. Some work. Some are not gems at all. I like finding gems. I like finding people who have developed ideas further along and are describing what I may have just seen, or have been seeing for decades that almost all I run into do not see, or are possibly complicit in.
The No Fly List is a Constitution Free Zone.
Death. I wonder how the massive swath of dead as a result of O’s guidance across North Africa and the Middle East feel?
What of the dead in Kenya where Obama intervened (What Logan Act?) for his Muslim Luo tribe relatives. One of who campaigned to replace the constitution with Sharia Law.
What of Europe which is receiving the Muslim hijrah army driven there byhis setting the fire after billions of US and Soros tinder was laid down before the Arab +Spring?” Then the invaded Muslim jihad army in Syria and Iraq meant to overthrow Assad had been pounded and so many retreated to Europe through Turkey as “Syrian refugees.” There they continue jihad.
A conspiracy is a plan.
So many others are looking at and doing what I felt that I was just one or a small few doing. that is good. The forces of good and truth seem to be rallying to prevent the evil that has gathered from doing full destruction of what good people consider to be what humanity should be.
We all were given our burn notices or scheduled to be burned without notice by the Armies of Darkness. Ash does well in returning such to ashes. They have no real friends in their Army of Darkness.
There are so many more aware every day. i see that in my conversations among people I meet all around. There is penetration of the normalcy bias. There is even the slightest penetration of the normalcy bias among the fellow travelers of the Leftist Army of Darkness.
Words. But what must be done will be done in its proper time and means.
Why must I write so much? The others here are saying so much, so well.
Make sure to use a weather-resistant formulation for your stickers.

HAHAHA, I do love Ralph Peters..he is my FAVORITE grouchy old curmudgeon…and he is really non-partisan…used to verbally blast Rumsfeld and Bush a lot…
I didn’t get to see him call Obummer a totally pussy, but I am sure it is epic to behold…and Stacey Dash..too…pretty bad when a hot babe calls you a totally pussy…may have to find those clips on YouTube…
Yep. They’re both recorded, probably YouTube.
Well worth the search-and-viewing.
I do believe people are underestimating the little Emperor. He is not done until January 20th 2017. Obama is like an idiot child with a box full of matches, each match being one of his rules for radicals. It doesn’t matter that this match got blown out, he will continue to strike another until the matches are taken away or he burns the house down. I’m going to continue to provision, I trust nothing from either house to contain the Emperor child.
Ya know, he could always have little toke, a little schroom’nsomp, then maybe inadvertently trip and inflict a head injury leaving him incapacitated.
