    Libbies want new revenues? They got new revenues:

    http://mcc.src.wastateleg.org/

    Right there in the budget. Existing Use Tax, $40M, Liquor tax $25M.

    Neither existed in the last biennium. There’s your new revenues.

    Oh. And they stuck $150M, net, into savings. That must be the clusterfuck part you were yammering about – the planning for the future when we might be in worse shape than we are now.

    Slow news day. Stock market’s up, North Korea hasn’t attacked, nothing to talk about except … yawn … Republican budget idiocy. Yawn.

    Then again Poor Obummer, complaining he can’t screw up the economy any worse than it is without Stretch Pelosi at the helm of the House.

    PuddyCommentary: What Obummer is truly saying is he can’t executive order it much longer and he can’t operate without a stacked deck. Call Obummer a whambulance. Does anyone think Stretch Pelosi would be hired as a greeter at Price Club? Sam’s Club? Walmart? Costco? It’s that darn “charter of negative liberties” that keep Obummer from “being successful”! Darn it! He can’t be “Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America” without Pelosi’s help deciding what bills and amendments to bring up and what bills and amendments to kill Like Harry Reid (Rodney Tom locally) does in the US Senate for Obummer’s benefit. Well it did take a Pelosi quote to be part of the national lexicon forever: “We Have to Pass the Bill to Find Out What’s In It”

    .Best.

    Slow news day… ACLU not happy with Harry Reid’s gun legislation…

    PuddyCommentary: When the ACLU joins Republican thought, you know this they see this is a total Obummer/Reid/Feinstein gun grab and as Puddy mentioned before… the ACLU is against your psychological profile being made public. So the Lanzas, Loughners and Holmes will continue to get guns even though they are crazy loons.

    Will Chris or Al or Rachel or Chris mention this on the puke libtard cable channel? Will the lamestream MSM mention this? Or as Puddy surmises, the coverup will begin today! Well without Pelosi to muzzle the ACLU in the House maybe this will get some attention after all. After all, this is part of the grand Obummer gun grab agenda. Witness what witless Biden said.

    This might be the article of the day:

    The only salient change has been a diminution in the share of the electorate self-identifying as Republicans, and an increase in Independents. And therein lies the rub. You see, the vast majority of Independents aren’t all that independent. They are “closet partisans,” regardless of how they might label themselves. These Republicans-turned-Independents have almost entirely driven the growing gap in partisan identification, but have actually tended to hold on to their Republican voting habits. This is why the Romney-Ryan ticket was able to win self-identified Independents by five points while still losing the election; this is also what gave birth to the horribly mistaken notions that the pre-election polls were under-sampling Republicans, and that the Republican edge with Independents foreshadowed a big GOP win.

    Something for everybody.

    Would liberals support Bill O’Reilly in this feud with Limbaugh? That’s seems a little awkward.

    On March 26, Bill O’Reilly said that marriage equality opponents offer weak arguments, stating they have not been able “to do anything but thump the Bible.” Rush Limbaugh took offense to this, saying the next day that O’Reilly “marginalized” Fox News viewers. O’Reilly responded on April 2 by defending his original comment.

    What improves public health, increases high-school graduation rates, reduces poverty, reduced the need for abortions and helps balance state budgets?
    Effective, affordable, accessible contraception.
    I’m for it. What say you?
    Why is contraception so hard for Conservatives to support?

  12. 12

    Why is contraception so hard for Conservatives to support?

    1) It’s a private thing – Cover it!
    2) Libtards don’t want these pictures seen
    3) Libtards turn the argument back against Conservatives by the comment above
    4) Planned Parenthood is an abortion provider not a contraceptive dispenser. Remember their spokeswoman COULD NOT ANSWER the simple question of a botched abortion and the child was born alive? PP response

    In the extremely unlikely event that the scenario presented by the panel of legislators should happen, of course Planned Parenthood would provide appropriate care to both the woman and the infant.

    Of course.. after national uproar over their lobbyist, Alisa LaPolt Snow, went stoooooooopid and the rest of America watched it!

    @ 10

    Effective, affordable, accessible contraception.

    How hard is it to walk into a Rite-Aid and pick up a three-pack of Trojans, dude?

    What you want is already in existence. Hell, you can pick them up for free from the school nurse in a lot of places.

  14. 14

    Troll, A feud requires two people to argue with each other. O’Reilly said he has no time for Limbaugh. Krauthammer agreed with OReilly Troll.

    As Puddy says to libtards, you need better material!

    Reading this morning’s account in our free copy of the Seattle Times of the state of negotiations between Chris Hansen’s group and the NBA officials (including Clay Bennett as–wait for it–chair of the league’s relocation committee) is a little like watching a rape victim arrange for a night out with her attacker.

    Played into the PuddyHands again! Oh my unemployed ylb, thanks for the Lee comment. You should really research what you post. Becuz this is what Lee went nutzo over…

    Even in Kenya, they say Odumba is a home boy…

    “If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the President of America? It is because they did away with exclusion.”

    http://www.bunge.go.ke/parliam.....25.03P.pdf – PAGE 31.

    These are not Puddy’s words but the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
    OFFICIAL REPORT of Kenya. Puddy was never a birther adherent unlike some of you 9/11 Truther fools!

    Puddy reads a lot. It’s a PDF fools!
    04/12/2010 at 10:48 am

    And the second one is this:

    Lee and HA liberals, yesterday we learned of a tragedy, a real downer. That’s why I wasn’t here when we left to mail Christmas presents. Some close friends of ours lost their child in an car accident. As my older son said when I picked him up from work as many roads aren’t plowed yet, “Wow dad, at Christmas, that really sucks”.

    So after dealing with that yesterday and looking at delaying Christmas because we’re trying to get there for the funeral, (very expensive flights from Portland, Seattle, Vancouver BC) I decided to throw in the towel and declare you are more intelligent than me. You win dude. In retrospect life is too short and I’m too old for this. Trumpet it all over HA. I expect the standard crew to ridicule and tease. Make your day. Well if I can get a decent cost flight, I’ll have a funeral to attend.

    Merry Christmas HA dudes and dames. May your day be better than my friends. Joust with y’all after Christmas. Just not in the mood right now.
    12/23/2008 at 8:14 am

    And for the third one Puddy wouldn’t admit Puddy’s material source.

    Thanks for playing unemployed ylb. Man it must really suck to be you. You can’t even figger it out. You run to the crazed databaze without looking at context! HAHAHAHAHA! Stay unemployed, it’s the best job you’ve ever held.

    You need this place.

    Um nope you dope. Puddy can disappear when HE CHOOSES!

    ROTFLRHMBBAO! You lose again! Thanks for playing. Three more EPIC FAYLES on the crazed databaze use!

    So it’s settled. You’re stupid!

  21. 21

    I expect the standard crew to ridicule and tease.

    And you surely did unemployed ylb. Seems you are dancing on the grave of our friends who lost their child in a car accident. That’s the difference between Puddy and unemployed ylb. Unemployed ylb is a crASS jackASS who doesn’t comprehend when someone reacts to a sad situation and dances on someone’s grave.

    Good job unemployed ylb. Stoooooooooopid as ever and you proved it again and again and again.

    Thanks for playing unemployed ylb!

    I have been following the shut down of Montana bus operator Rimrock Stages by the FMCSA. When I posted the story on a railfan board, I mentioned that while Amtrak has the US 2 corridor, they had no service where the Rimrock went. Up until 1979-1980, there was a train on that route as well, the North Coast Hiawatha. It was derided as the Mansfield Special, after it’s booster Montana Senator and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. I suggested that it might be a good idea to revive it, but within limits. I would, instead of a second Chicago-Seattle train, have it be a section of the Empire Builder between Spokane and Fargo. I would try to save even more, by having the split done where the routes split near Sandpoint, Idaho, but since the Empire Builder traverses the area at night, and the coupling and decoupling is already done in Spokane with the Seattle and Portland sections.

  23. 23

    Puddy, since you keep refering to YLB as the unemployed, tell everyone, or me at least, maybe the others already know, what do you do for a living? How do you contribute to society?

  24. 24

    13 comments a day for almost 8 years

    You are pathological unemployed ylb. You need help, but unemployed ylb won’t get help. Pathologicals never see their problem!

    Shoot almost forgot this one:

    Remember what Puddyidiot said:

    Darryl is a smart man.

    The “smart man” called it on a certain “pathological liar” who can’t shake his HA habit.

    And the “smart man” was right last Nov 6. as opposed to right wing idiots who sheepishly followed the “unskewed pollster”..

    How it sucks to be you!

  26. 26

    “How hard is it to walk into a Rite-Aid and pick up a three-pack of Trojans, dude?”

    When we start seeing you birth similar goats over insurance coverage of erectile dysfunction drugs then maybe you’ll quit coming off as someone with a very strange, um, fixation on women’s insurance coverage issues while being blind to those for men.

  27. 27

    @13 Right you are, sir!

    Oh….but that would require men to take some responsibility in the matter. I sure don’t hear much about that from the various GOP legislators and pundits. There’s a great deal of talk about “sluts”, but not so much about “schmucks”.

    Of course, the other issue this raises is the concept of “If you ain’t gonna be good, be careful”. There seem to be a lot of minds so filled with real and imagined “moral absolutes” that they aren’t even willing to admit to the possibility of (ahem!) situational ethics.

  28. 28

    @7 Republican presidential candidates have lost the popular vote in four of the last five elections. That should tell you something about what the public thinks of the GOP’s agenda of enriching the rich at the expense of the middle class and poor.

  29. 29

    You are pathological unemployed ylb. You need help, but unemployed ylb won’t get help. Pathologicals never see their problem!

    HAHAHAHAHA! ROTFLRHMBBAO!

  30. 30

    Republican presidential candidates have lost the popular vote in four of the last five elections.

    You forget Roger, the libtard MSM called it early for Al Gore in Florida and exit polls proved GW Bush supporters in the panhandle (one time zone later) and western states didn’t vote. So while you are technically correct, you forget the media’s part in the 2000 voting.

  31. 31

    Gee Bob may know a lot about radiology but appears to know crap about contraception..

    Assuming “perfect use” of condoms, the failure rate is significantly higher than IUD’s which have 99 percent effectiveness.

    As we all know.. Men are far from perfect.

    Except in the minds of right wingers like Bob and PuddySilly.

  32. 32

    @23 What’s wrong with being unemployed? I’m unemployed, and I made $750 today from dabbling in stocks. That’s a lot more than those striking NYC fast food workers make! “Work hard to get ahead” is a myth foisted on American teenagers by cheap labor exploiters. The only thing hard work gets you is more work! If you want to get ahead, you have to own not owe.

  34. 34

    @29 So now you want to argue about counting the votes of Florida Republicans who didn’t vote? Sounds like the GOP’s legal arguments in Chelan.

  35. 35

    Why do conservatives think that effective, affordable, accessible contraception for women is no more complicated than a three-pack of Trojans?

    Have they forgotten what a society changer “The Pill” was? It was both reasonably effective, easy, and it didn’t need the man to well…”man up” and take responsibility for his actions every single time. It empowered women to control what happened in their bodies.

    FYI:
    Nothing 85% failure rate.
    Condom 15% percent typical failure rate.
    the Pill 8% percent typical failure rate.
    (Vasectomy 1.5% percent typical failure rate.)

  37. 37

    What’s wrong with being unemployed?

    Apologizing for unemployed ylb? Nothing wrong when you are independently wealthy or retired. But when you stay at home not getting a job so you can blog all day on HA while not providing an improved life for your wife and children is ludicrous, looney and stoooooopid! Those are the three of the many tendencies of unemployed ylb!

  38. 38

    Puddy’s comment from the unemployed ylb link!

    Do you or does anybody you know have an offshore bank account?

    Actually yes! And I don’t begrudge them either.

    Jack Lew… Obummer‘s man. Remember unemployed ylb, the “Largest Tax Scam in the World” according to the person you swear allegiance to!

    Gotta admit you are allowing old Puddy comments to come to life for a second time.

    Thanks for playing coffin dancer! Another EPIC FAYLE! So stupid!

  39. 39

    The scumbag right winger puddyidiot said I’m “dancing on the grave” of his friend’s child.. which is a lie from a pathological liar.. I did nothing of the kind.

    He also said:

    In retrospect life is too short and I’m too old for this

    Interesting. Too old to go to a DL and take a standard IQ test and lose a bet to someone more intelligent..

    Not too old to drag his wife to a DL for a skin color check..

    Not too old to “babble-on” an average of 13 comments a day here for 8 years straight..

  40. 40

    Puddy said I’m “dancing on the grave” of his friend’s child..

    Who brought up a comment over 5 YEARS and 3 MONTHS ago? unemployed ylb! So you are dancing on the grave unemployed ylb! Now why did unemployed ylb bring that comment up? A poor poor attempt at ridicule. Very poor poor attempt unemployed ylb. So when everyone sees what you are doing Puddy is reminding them the circumstances of the comment. If unemployed ylb had done his homework unemployed ylb would not be having his daily conniption fit unemployed ylb is so well known for!

    So sad and typical. Another EPIC FAYLE.

    Thanks for playing loser unemployed ylb! Sucks to be you moron!

    Regarding my wife… Seems you still have a hard-on for my wife and her life. Well if you were intelligent, you could have married above your pay grade. Well… since your pay is $0 Puddy guesses anyone would make that so! Must be you aren’t getting any so you drool over Mrs Puddy!

    One sick mofo to be so pathological and PWNed by someone so superior!

  51. 51

    Now onto more important activities than kicking the unemployed ylb arschloch… Seems another shocker has appeared. Wow who knew… Adam Lanza had a special gun

    Now, over the next couple of months, we’ve got a couple of issues: gun control. (Applause.) I just came from Denver, where the issue of gun violence is something that has haunted families for way too long, and it is possible for us to create common-sense gun safety measures that respect the traditions of gun ownership in this country and hunters and sportsmen, but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon — by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly.

    PuddyCommentary: If that was true, then all the libtard led MSM would be screaming about it. So how could a crazy guy have an automatic weapon especially in Connecticut?

    And if this is true The Emerging Democratic Majority Turns 10,then Obummer should be upset with his own party not Republicans because people like DUMMOCRAPTIC Senator Heidi Heitkamp ain’t jumping up and down on these “new” gun laws.

    Seems your good preznit is trying to be the imperial dictator but that darn “charter of negative liberties” that keep Obummer from “being successful”! Who knew DUMMOCRAPTS would be stymieing Obummer?

  52. 52

    @50 “Seems your good preznit is trying to be the imperial dictator”

    guffaw! Want to know what a dictator is? A guy who authorizes kidnapping and torture, and lies about it; a guy who authorizes illegal wiretapping of U.S. citizens and lies about it; a guy who starts a war using lies as an excuse …

  53. 53

    @50, @51…and “imperial” implies invading other countries, exploiting their resources and enslaving their people.

  54. 54

    More evidence the rich don’t actually pay the taxes they carp about — until they’re caught.

    “New data from the IRS shows that [of] tax filers with taxable incomes of $1 million or more [who] were audited … only about a quarter … had no change in taxes paid.”

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/100617291

    Sadly, Roger will never get it. Too blinded by his left wrong love!

    I’m not one who has used browser bookmarks in the last 10 years, but I bookmarked this from Mr. Roger Ebert, and if you somehow choose not to ever read anything he’s written, read this.

    Go gentle into that good night
    Here’s a taste:

    I drank for many years in a tavern that had a photograph of Brendan Behan on the wall, and under it this quotation, which I memorized:

    I respect kindness in human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don’t respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.

    For 57 words, that does a pretty good job of summing it up.

  60. 60

    @56 “You haven’t been paying attention”

    To you? Of course not. I generally pass right over anything you post. I just happened to spot Roger’s response to one of your pieces of drivel, and felt his statement could use a little further elaboration.

  61. 61

    Mike Boy Scout:

    Roger Ebert’s passing saddens me also. I checked out a library book written by Mr. Ebert: Ebert’s Essentials: “33 Movies to Restore Your Faith in Humanity”

    “There’s a reason for every title in this collection. They all have that one thing in common— the goodness of people. They are very different people and good in many different ways, but all of them, whatever the place in life that fate has led them to, try to do the best they can with their opportunities. Yes, that can restore your faith in humanity. We need more of these films and fewer weekend blockbusters entertaining young people with the slaughter and suffering of anonymous victims in action pictures.

    Ebert,Roger (2012-05-08). 33 Movies to Restore Your Faith in Humanity: Ebert’s Essentials . Andrews McMeel Publishing LLC.

    Peace out.

  62. 62

    I generally pass right over anything you post.

    Well ArtFart, your loss. Staying stupid comes really easy to you. Your peeps call him imperial dictator, Puddy reports it.

    When Greedy Capitalists Run School Lunches, Kids Go Hungry

    “As many as 25 students at a Massachusetts school were denied lunch this week because they either could not pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds, schools officials and parents said. Outraged parents say some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district’s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday. … Fifth-grader Victoria Greaves, 11, said she and other students who had already been served their lunch were told to throw it in the trash when they reached the checkout.”

    http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_new.....lunch?lite

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: What kind of asswipe outfit would make hungry kids throw away food because they can’t pay for it? A private for-profit company, that’s who! This kind of shit wouldn’t happen if the school ran its own lunch program — you know, publicly-funded i.e. socialist school lunches. Another fucking free-enterprise failure.

  65. 65

    @63 I’m a capitalist, but not that kind of capitalist. I only filch from other stock flippers who are trying to filch from me.

  66. 66

    @49,

    Spuddy, stop running from the truth and tell us how much shit you sucked out of Rmoney’s ass!

    First you refuse to give us the amount, then you accuse your accuser; finally you become so ashamed of having sucked shit out of a losers ass you try to deny it.

    Give it up spuddy, admit to your shit sucking.

  67. 67

    Keep asking moron@65… Steve calls it Projection, a Psych 101 Thing. Not ashamed of not doing something. So, your accusations of something that never happened are as sad as the lower life form@48 who has Puddy in his head.

    Sad sack of human excrement U R! Thanks for playing.

  69. 69

    This is a great story. Seems its too great for any of the HA leftists to cover. Puddy wonders why is that? Prolly cuz it’s an Obummer supporter accusing a black man of a rape that never happened.

  70. 70

    Seems you are dancing on the grave of our friends who lost their child in a car accident.

    Nope. I said that YOU SAID that Lee is more intelligent than you..

    And I proved YOU SAID THAT..

    Nothing else.. If you claim I said anything else.. YOU ARE LYING OR YOU ARE STUPID which just makes my point.

    Speaking of dancing, IIRC, you NEVER DENIED if Mike Webb’s grave was put before you, YOU WOULD DANCE ON IT..

    This much stupidity tends to hold that up:

    @64 Telling kids who had already been served to throw their food in the trash has to qualify as some special kind of stupid.

    Consider also the dee-lightful fare that was in question here: The lunch du jour consisted of a grilled cheese sandwich, a few slices of pickle and a mini-carton of milk.

    Loved the headlines today. Cancer patients on Medicare being turned away without chemo from cancer clinics. Let the rationing begin.

    Also the fed will have to spend a couple of billion per year hiring 140,000 new employees at $20 to $48 per hour just to explain the choices the of plans in the medical exchanges.

    Also 80,000 new IRS agents to enforce it. Ca Ching ca Ching

    While due to obamacare, average medical plans are now expected to rise 32% this year.

    And this was all sold as a plan which would bring down the costs.

    Really now,

    Speaking of dancing, IIRC, you NEVER DENIED if Mike Webb’s grave was put before you, YOU WOULD DANCE ON IT..

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! You were the tool unemployed ylb who forgot the dates of Mike Webb’s demise. You danced on his grave just like you did above. Puddy doesn’t have to answer anything you put forth because if everyone remembers you reposted the Mike Webb PuddyComments BEFORE he died and accused Puddy of of commenting AFTER he died. That’s why you are an EPIC chronological FAILURE from for the last eight years unemployed ylb.

    You have all day everyday to plan your attacks yet unemployed ylb time is not on your unemployed side. Your crazed databaze EPIC FAYLED you again fetid cretin. For your 131st attack with the crazed databaze, why not read the context first so you don’t look as stoooooooooooopid as you normally are? Can you imagine what you could have become if you actually applied those “skillz” toward a job instead of your continual blogging on HA and plagiarizing other left wrong sites?

    Sad, so sad! And your children are the beneficiaries of your selfish unemployed actions with a lower standard of living. Great job there unemployed ylb. Hope you feel excellent not providing for them properly and instead attacking Cynical, Rob, Mark, Mark1, Mark the Redneck, Sarah, HowCan, many others and Puddy every day for the last eight years with hate 24×7 and useless name calling and inferred fetid commentary? Momma must be real proud of you!

    So carry one so everyone can laugh again at your EPIC FAILURES with the crazed databaze. Thanks for playing. Sux to be you!

    Not everything in Madison, WI is a complete descent into idiocy.

    Current climate models tend to underestimate the occurrence of the clouds ICECAPS researchers found, limiting those models’ ability to predict cloud response to Arctic climate change and possible feedback like spiking rates of ice melt.

    While on the topic, the models also underestimate solar influence.

    Why I’ll never donate to NPR, brief version:

    Just now during the local fund drive I heard KUOW talk about how insightful the analysis and commentary is on their station. In doing so they spun the awful news @ 74 as related to the sequester, and mentioned that the unemployment rate nonetheless dropped.

    I think the GOP is using North Korea as a model of the society they want to create here. Consider:

    1. They rig elections so the (GOP) regime will be “elected” no matter who you vote for;
    2. They want to militarize our economy and threaten every country on earth;
    3. They’re against food stamps in order to introduce North Korean-style starvation into the United States;
    4. They talk about rounding up political opponents (liberals) and detaining them in concentration camps;
    5. They want to censor news and communications so the public only hears the propaganda they wish to broadcast;
    6. They want to enslave workers and allow laborers no organizing rights or minimum wage; and
    7. They want to replace science education with personality cults.

    Yep, it sure looks like Republicans are trying to turn America into another North Korea!

    An awful lot of bluster only to find that people don’t like having their names put on lists that might be used for nefarious purposes.

    But Democratic sources tell TIME that the tough background check bill that emerged from the Judiciary Committee March 12, doesn’t appear to have the votes to overcome a filibuster when it comes to the Senate floor in the next week or two, let alone get through the Republican controlled House. The push by Obama and his allies, including a $12 million ad buy by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, appears only to have highlighted the fact that any bill that includes paper records for all private sales can’t pass Congress.

    Massive Data Leak Exposes 2.5 Million Secret Bank Accounts

    See, e.g., http://www.interestingideas.com/ii/incomp.htm

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Incompetence is a universal human trait found everywhere — in government, private business, etc. If the intended point of Cereal Bob’s comment is to “prove” government is more incompetent than the private sector, my response would be, if that’s so how come administrative and overhead costs in the private health insurance industry are 30 times higher than in government-run Medicare?

  87. 87

    @83 Fine, let’s not have background checks, what’s a few dozen or hundred more dead school children? My question is, how can anyone with a conscience oppose background checks with a straight face? You have to be a Republican to do that.

    An interesting viewpoint

    When the Great Depression struck, many influential people argued that the government shouldn’t even try to limit the damage. According to Herbert Hoover, Andrew Mellon, his Treasury secretary, urged him to “Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers. … It will purge the rottenness out of the system.” Don’t try to hasten recovery, warned the famous economist Joseph Schumpeter, because “artificial stimulus leaves part of the work of depressions undone.”
    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04.....Purge.html

    Who cares if little people, if labor and farmers suffer. A very callus and cruel way to view things and it didn’t seem to accomplish what they wanted.

    This was an interesting comment

    What economists like Mellon didn’t understand – but FDR did – is that extreme economic hardship inevitably leads to the emergence of extreme political movements, like the kind that emerged in Germany and Italy in the aftermath of the Great Depression (and might well have emerged in America had the liquidators’ counsel been taken seriously by Hoover’s successor).

    In the modern era economic brutality inevitably begets political brutality.

  89. 89

    Speaking of which

    From 2002 to 2007, only nine right-wing extremists were indicted for their roles in politically motivated murders and other types of ideologically motivated violent assaults. But between 2008 and 2012, the number mushroomed to 53, according to data collected by the New America Foundation. (Click on chart on the left for the data.)

    Over the past several years, acts or plots of non-jihadist terrorism have derived almost entirely from right-wing extremists like the soldiers’ militia in Georgia and the anti-government group in Louisiana. Of the 54 non-jihadist terrorists indicted between 2010 and 2012, 47 were right-wing extremists.

    @88 To some people — generals, bankers, cheap labor conservatives — human beings are merely ciphers. A soldier is an “asset” until he’s dead; a bank customer is a “profit center” until he’s broke, etc. When they’re no longer useful to those exploiting them, they’re simply written off.

    Fine, let’s not have background checks

    Roger, being a libtard lawyer, you know the ACLU numbers… Give them a call! They are having issues with background checks. Why? Too many crazy leftists would be exposed. How many on this blog fit that narrative?

    It’s always fun to see how the conservatives distort and misconstrue the facts. Can’t trust them for nothing.
    What are law and order conservatives always saying? “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear”. Funny how they don’t want it applied to them.
    Anyway, on to the facts….

    “However, we also believe those checks have to be conducted in a way that protects privacy and civil liberties. So, in that regard, we think the current legislation, the current proposal on universal background checks raises two significant concerns,” he went on.

    “The first is that it treats the records for private purchases very differently than purchases made through licensed sellers. Under existing law, most information regarding an approved purchase is destroyed within 24 hours when a licensed seller does a [National Instant Criminal Background Check System] check now,” Calabrese said, “and almost all of it is destroyed within 90 days.”

    Calabrese says that [Nevada Democratic Senate leader Harry] Reid’s legislation fails to include…“privacy best practices.”

    “Contrast this with what the existing [Reid] legislation says, which is simply that a record has to be kept of a private transfer,” Calabrese highlighted, “and it doesn’t have any of the protections that we have in current law for existing licensees.”

    “We think that that kind of record-keeping requirement could result in keeping long-term detailed records of purchases and creation of a new government database.”
    http://reason.com/blog/2013/04.....otential-r

    The ACLU isn’t against background checks to keep guns out of the hands of “bad’ people, they are against the government being able to keep background check data in an archive.

    You know what, I agree with the ACLU on this one.

    In other news, this is your typical DUMMOCRAPT from Chicago…

    “in the movie [theater], they have conceal and carry, but nobody pulled out their guns to kill the gentleman that did all the damage that he did.”

    However, the Cinemark theater where the shooting took place was the only one within 20 minutes of suspect James Holmes’ apartment that had a policy banning guns from the premise. Victims and their families are preparing a lawsuit targeting Cinemark for allegedly failing to provide security for its patrons the night of the shooting.

    DUMMOCRAPTS even their candidates are low information voting candidates!

    News reports indicate the homeowners association of the private community where law-abiding teenager Trayvon Martin was gunned down by a self-appointed vigilante have settled a wrongful death lawsuit brought against it by the Martin family for “in excess of” $1 million.

    The alleged shooter, George Zimmerman, is not a party to the settlement. The Martin family intends to sue him later.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Regardless of whether Zimmerman beats the criminal charges — I don’t think he will — his life is ruined. He will be forced into bankruptcy and the notoriety of having shot an innocent teenager will follow him for the rest of his life. His one-time dream of becoming a police officer is gone; with his rap sheet, he won’t even be able to get a security guard job, because he’ll never be bondable. It’s one thing for an elderly grandmother to shoot an armed intruder inside her home. It’s totally different for a trigger-happy young punk with bad judgment and delusions of glory to go out on the streets looking for trouble. Trouble tends to find people like that.
