Assault Weapon Ban Sleeps with the Fishes

From the Holy City of Rocky River:

On September 13th, the so-called "assault weapon" ban will be deader than Bobcat Goldthwaite's last braincell.

Some friends and I will be celebrating at the local tavern, and I encourage you to do likewise. It isn't every day that a bad law goes OUT of effect.

Time to start shopping for 30 round M16 magazines.

I feel like buying something with a pistol grip, drum magazine, flash hider and a bayonet lug....

"Peaceful" Protestors

Via the Holy City of New York:

A friend counter-protested the peaceful protestors today in NYC. A number of them peacefully assaulted him, stole his signs, etc. He did get his signs back though. Maybe you should ask your victim if he knows Judo before you try to physically assault him. That'll learn them pacifistic anarchists.

I guess it just goes to show that the hard left can never really deviate from what it really is, namely the pseudo-religious worship of unlimited force and violence, used to suppress all dissent from itself.

Oh well, if you're in NYC and you see a guy in a black ski mask, with half a sign, walking funny, tell him to try Motrin....

Israeli Spy?

Rumors have been rife (I've always wanted to use that word!) of an Israeli spy in the DoD.

Predictable responses of course fall into two patterns:

1. "Damn those eeevil Jews! Will they never stop tormenting us???"

2. "Hey, they're our allies, so it's not really spying."


Let me offer an alternative analysis carefully calculated to enrage and offend militant anti-Semites and militant Zionists:

1. Lots of countries spy on us, including our "allies" the French. Somehow nobody thinks to blame Emeril LaGasse or Brigitte Bardot for the actions of the French secret service.

2. Spying is spying. It doesn't matter for whom you do it. Shoot the bastards, unless we have somebody important to trade. If it's ok to spy for Israel when they're an ally, then it's ok to spy for the Soviet Union. Israel and the United States are different countries with different interests, just as the United States and the Soviet Union were. I expect foreign countries to spy on us. If US citizens help them, they should be punished, regardless of whether it's Israel or Burkina Faso they're selling out for. I don't play favorites. Electrocute Johnathan Pollard, and sit John Walker in his lap when you do it. A traitor's a traitor and it doesn't matter for whom.

Kerry in the Dock?

From the Holy City of Rocky River:

By his own admission, John Kerry is both a war criminal and an accomplice after the fact to war crimes.

He is also a vocal advocate of internationalism and multi-lateral organizations.

This being the case, shouldn't he voluntarily submit himself to judgement by the International Criminal Court or the International Court of Justice in the Hague? Wouldn't this demonstrate his commitment to international bodies, the rule of law, and the proposition that the Vietnam War was illegal and immoral?

The only alternatives would be that either Kerry doesn't believe that war crimes were committed [by him] during the Vietnam War, OR that he's above the international system of justice which he himself promotes.

If he's sincere about war crimes during the Vietnam War, Kerry should submit himself to impartial justice. Failure to do so would create an impression of hypocrisy, don't you think?
