Sanford Vs Sanford For Tim Scott’s Seat?

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 5:23 pm

How fun could this be?

(Washington Post) The Republican primary to replace Rep. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) could pit former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford against his ex-wife, Jenny Sanford.

That’s a match I’m up for watching.

Warmist Compares Ignoring Hotcoldwetdry To Manslaughter

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 1:33 pm

Hey, remember when Warmists were saying they had to be more rational and less unhinged? Not working out too well

(The College Fix) A prominent UC Berkeley professor recently linked ignoring global warming with watching people die during a guest seminar at Ohio State University.

Citing monsoons and other extreme weather phenomenon on the other side of the globe, Kirk Smith, a global environmental health professor, said climate change is “a moral issue.”

Smith told an anecdote to the audience of a professor who ignores a drowning child on campus as he rushes to teach a class. He then tells his students about ignoring the child, and they are aghast. Later at home, the hypothetical professor opens his mail and throws away a letter from the United Nation’s Children Fund.

“No one thinks that is immoral, and why not,” Smith said of throwing away the UNICEF letter.  “What’s the moral distinction? … Today climate change is a sin of omission.”

So…..all the Warmists who have failed to give up their fossil fueled vehicles are guilty of manslaughter.

Schoolkids Won’t Know What Outside Looks Like

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 9:51 am

Won’t someone think of the kids?

The combination of heavy snow and fast-whipping winds caused most people to simply not brave the conditions and take to the roads in Dodge County.

It’s so terrible, kids in Wisconsin can’t go outside!

Elsewhere, I-70 is closed, and drivers in Iowa and Nebraska were warned to just stay home.

Obama Says Hotcoldwetdry One Of The Top 3 Issues He’ll Blow Off In 2nd Term

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 7:04 am

Well, he didn’t quite say that, but if he’s focusing on it like the economy, little will get done

(The Hill) President Obama has identified climate change as one of his top three priorities in his second term after coming under fire from environmentalists for giving the issue short shrift during the campaign.

The president, in an interview for TIME’s Person of the Year award, said the economy, immigration, climate change and energy would be at the top of his agenda for the next four years.

What we saw during Obama’s first term was a laser like focus on the economy for a few days after a speech, then he’d forget about it for months and months as things like golf, parties, vacations, and campaigning became his top priorities. Then a speech about a laser like focus for a few days. Lather, rinse, repeat. So, he’s specifically telling us what three issues he’ll mostly blow off over the next 4 years.

And he has got to know that he’ll never get the votes in the GOP controlled House, and even some Democrat Senators aren’t on board with artificially jacking up the cost of living for Americans through “climate change” legislation.

In that press conference, Obama touted executive actions designed to curb emissions, such as finalizing new vehicle fuel efficiency standards and rolling out the first-ever air pollution limits for new coal-fired power plants.

So, more legislation by kingly decree. Still, don’t expect a whole bunch out of Obama in his attempt to make the weather nicer. Perhaps he could tell us what the optimal temperature should be. Oh, and give up his own big “carbon” lifestyle.

Crazy Republican Senator Proposes Putting National Guard In Schools

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 6:49 am

….and by crazy Republican, I mean Barbara “Don’t Call Me Ma’am” Boxer (D-Brokeifornia)

(LA Times) Federal funds would be made available to deploy National Guard troops at schools under legislation introduced Wednesday by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) in response to last week’s mass slaying at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

The Save Our Schools Act would leave it to governors to decide whether to call out the National Guard and how to use troops around schools.

“Is it not part of the national defense to make sure that your children are safe?” Boxer said at Capitol Hill press conference.

Well, now, that is very interesting, and very “crazy Republican” of her. It’s not often that I agree with Babs (I do agree with many of her non-globull warming environmental stances), but this is not that bad of an idea.

Boxer said the National Guard legislation is modeled after a program in place since 1989 that allows governors to use the National Guard to aid law enforcement in anti-drug operations.  Troops could be deployed at schools, or assigned to desk jobs at police stations to free up local law enforcement to patrol schools.

All we need is one, perhaps two, armed people at the school to deter one of these crazy people who are looking to commit mass murder before suicide and get not only their 15 minutes of fame, but in the history books. Though, providing some teachers/administrators with weapons and proper training would be just as good. The guns would stay on them during school hours and be locked up in, say, the school office at the end of the shift.

OK, I’m going to patiently wait for Liberals/Democrats to attack Boxer as crazy insane like they’ve attacked any Republican/Conservative who has recommended putting armed people in schools.

The best idea comes via DaTechGuy

Let’s say a school has 100-1000 students, odds are you can find plenty of students who have grandfathers who are retired ex police, ex military, ex law enforcement etc etc etc. These are people who have used weapons, have been trained with weapons and know how to use them with responsibility.

While retirement can be pleasant one of the thing that can be hard is no longer having responsibility. Going from a position of respect to a position where people just see you as old.

There would be tons of retirees with the training and time who would jump at the chance. Heck, I bet they would do it for minimum wage. Have them work part time, like many retirees do just to keep busy. And, it is difficult for a potential mass murderer to shoot when someone else is shooting back.

Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU.

Time Names Obama Person Of The Year

By William Teach December 19, 2012 – 5:57 pm

I know I’m a little late to this party, but it still amuses Mr that a guy who enjoys personally picking who will receive a visit from a drone strike, continuously spits on the Constitution, and is the most decisive president ever gets the POY nod. Why?

Twenty-seven years after driving from New York City to Chicago in a $2,000 Honda Civic for a job that probably wouldn’t amount to much, Barack Obama, in better shape but with grayer hair, stood in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Fairmont Millennium Park hotel as flat screens announced his re-election as President of the United States. The networks called Ohio earlier than predicted, so his aides had to hightail it down the hall to join his family and friends. They encountered a room of high fives and fist pumps, hugs and relief.

That’s right, he won for…winning the election. That’s it. One hell of an accomplishment. Bah.

Fast And Furious Gun Found At Site Of Mexican Beauty Queen Murder

By William Teach December 19, 2012 – 11:21 am

Jammie Wearing Fool

Not to diminish the horrors of Newtown in any way, but where was a task group to investigate Fast & Furious when his Attorney General ran guns to Mexico that resulted in hundreds of deaths?

We’d all like to know more. Fortunately, one of the only real journalists out there, Sharyl Attkisson, is still on the case

A gun found at the scene of a shootout between a Mexican drug cartel and soldiers where a beauty queen died was part of the botched “Fast and Furious” operation, CBS Newsreports.

Authorities had said that Maria Susana Flores Gamez was likely used as a human shield and that an automatic rifle had been found near her body after the Nov. 23 shootout.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, tells CBS News that the Justice Department did not notify Congress that a Fast and Furious firearm was found at the scene in Sinaloa.

If the buck stops at the Oval Office, as Obama likes to say, then this is his responsibility.
