Fighting For Liberty

*sigh*

MA is at it again.

A proposal to limit the number of guns a person can buy in Massachusetts is being mulled by the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee today, sparking hope among supporters that the bill may finally come to a vote.

Yes, just throw a new law out there because it’s much easier than, you know, actually locking up violent criminals with mile-long rap sheets for more than 30 days.

Couple of things stick out at me here. First, this …

It is winding its way through committee as the state and the city of Boston grapple with the shooting deaths of two 14-year-old boys in the same month. A 10-year-old girl was shot in the leg over the weekend as she played outside her Roxbury home. The girl is expected to survive.

The shootings “make it more urgent to do something,” said Public Safety Secretary Mary Beth Heffernan. “It’s gotten to the point where it’s just epidemic really.”

Ugh … elected liberals with the itch to “do something”. That’s horrifying right there. Truly, the epidemic here is stupidity …

“We’re hoping it will drive some traffickers out of business,” she said. “They can’t turn as high a profit. They have to work that much harder to get that many guns to sell on the street.“

Then … laughably … this:

The bill would not affect gun dealers and stores, said Heffernan.

Yeah. And maybe I’m a Chinese jet pilot.

So here’s a math problem for you …

“T-Bone likes to sell ‘illegal guns’ as defined by the MA legislature. Every month, he spends $1000 on 5 guns. He sells them to his homies and spends his profits on XBOX games, and spinners for his Escalade. If T-Bone finds out it’ll cost him twice as much to obtain those guns in the future, how quickly will he outsmart a bunch of idiot MA politicians and raise his prices?”

Great. Just great.

It’s on Drudge, he’s linking a UK story, so it’s everywhere. I heard about this poll a couple of days ago and figured it would be out and about in short order. (I was researching the methodology on this one – before the polling site published their own poll. I’m not arrogant, I’m just better than you!)

The big headline – “25% of Republicans believe Obama may be the Anti-Christ”!

It’s a Harris poll and I just want to raise a few obvious points. Not a dispute of the findings – just some observations to keep in mind.

First, from Harris’ methodology:

This Harris Poll was conducted online within the United States March 1 and 8, 2010 among 2,320 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.

An online poll. Presumably, registered Harris poll users. Polls are based on statistics and correct sampling. Even with “registered users” I wonder if it’s truly possible to get an accurate poll result using online-only methodology without at least having some kind of baseline polling taking place in a more traditional sense.

Honestly, technology may be doing away with that sort of accuracy as well considering how many people switch to a cell-phone-only lifestyle.

Anyway, that’s the first point.

The second point:

Have a look at the google results if you search on that poll title with one teeeeeeny modification.

In the poll the question was, “Obama may be the Anti-Christ”. As these findings flutter around the internet, the poll question miraculously turns into, “ZOMG! 24% of Rethuglicans believe Obama is the Anti-Christ”.

Mark my words, it’s just a matter of time before, “A quarter of Conservatives believe Obama is the Anti-Christ!”

And lastly, let’s not forget that just three years ago, 61% of Democrats believed that George Bush may have known that the attacks on 9/11 were going to happen:

Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.

‘Nuff said.

“And yes, I have said that this is an ugly process,” he said. “It was ugly when Republicans were in charge. It was is ugly when while Democrats were are in charge.”

That’s better.

I mean, WOOHOO, right? After all, I’m sure you can think of no better use of your tax dollars than to help these poor, poor people who just want quality care.

It’s for the greater good! A whole LOT of greater good, apparently!

“I’d love to be 1000lb … it might be hard though, running after my daughter keeps my weight down,” Ms Simpson told the Daily Mail.

Ms Simpson, who needs a mobility scooter to go shopping, eats huge amounts of junk food each week and tries to move as little as possible so she doesn’t burn off as many calories.

Let’s help her reach that goal! I mean, you have to have dreams, right? 12,000 calories a day doesn’t just happen, it’s hard work! We all need to pitch in!

And if you have kids, don’t worry! With the cost of Obamacare they’ll have the opportunity to chip in too, for the rest of their lives! I’m sure as a parent you understand how important it is that your children have the opportunity to pay into a system for the rest of their lives that will go to assisting people in need, like Ms. Simpson:

In order to pay for the enormous amounts of food she is eating — her weekly grocery bill is $815 — Ms Simpson makes money by running a website where men pay to watch her consume fast food.

She’s a small business (or … er … a big business, depending on your perspective). Isn’t this the exact type of helpless American Obamacare is designed to assist?

What? Having second thoughts? Come on, pay into the system – it’s your patriotic duty, after all …

I’m sorry. I had to repost it.

Looks like AWB 2.0 is an old story … but that doesn’t mean I can’t bust out a little fun!

I actually had to go to the Wayback Machine to dig it up as I didn’t have a copy saved and that was a previous incarnation of the blog when I wrote under the name of “Liberty”. For those of you reading who are unfamiliar … I wrote this back in January (I think) of 2008. Holy cow … have I been blogging that long? Yikes. Apparently, it still applies today!

INCONCEIVABLE!

Well, I normally wouldn’t bust out this big of a story without a press release and a great deal of fanfare, but I was recently able to sit down with Paul Helmke and discuss what truly constitutes an “assault weapon.” Following is a nearly complete transcript of our conversation:

HELMKE: *holding a spork against a copy of the Constitution* So, it is down to you. And it is down to me.

LIBERTY: Let me explain-

HELMKE: — there’s nothing to explain. You’re trying to reclaim what I’ve rightfully hijacked.

LIBERTY: Perhaps an arrangement can be reached?

HELMKE: There will be no arrangement — *presses the spork against the 2nd Amendment* — and you’re destroying this …

LIBERTY: But if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse.

HELMKE: I’m afraid so — I can’t compete with your assault weapons. And you’re no match for my legislation.

LIBERTY: You’re that thorough?

HELMKE: Let me put it this way: have you ever heard of Bloomberg, Feinstien, Schumer?

LIBERTY: Yes.

HELMKE: Sissies.

LIBERTY: Really? In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.

HELMKE: For the Constitution?

LIBERTY: *nods*

HELMKE: To the death?

LIBERTY: *nods again*

HELMKE: I accept.

LIBERTY: Good. Pour the Kool-Aid. *holds up a blank picture* View this, but do not touch.

HELMKE: I see nothing.

LIBERTY: What you do not see is called an “assault weapon”. It is imaginary, inanimate, impossible to legislate, and is among the more reviled weapons to your average liberal or GOP candidate.

HELMKE: Hmm.

LIBERTY: *reaches into a bag, places two nearly identical weapons on the table in front of Helmke* All right, where is the assault weapon? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both shoot, and find out who is right, and who is … wrong.

HELMKE: But it’s so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of man who would put the assault weapon in front of him, or his enemy?

Now, a clever man would put the weapon in front of him, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I’m not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the weapon in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the weapon in front of me.

LIBERTY: You’ve made your decision then?

HELMKE: Not remotely. Because assault weapons come from gun show loopholes, as everyone knows. And gun shows are entirely frequented with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the weapon in front of you.

LIBERTY: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

HELMKE: Wait till I get going! Where was I?

LIBERTY: Gun shows.

HELMKE: Yes — gun shows, and you must have suspected I would have known the weapon’s origin, so I can clearly not choose the gun in front of me.

LIBERTY: You’re just stalling now.

HELMKE: You’d like to think that, wouldn’t you!

You’ve beaten legislation sponsored by the Virginia Tech families, which means you’re exceptionally well funded. So, you could have put the assault weapon in front of yourself, trusting in the evil gun lobby to save you. So I can clearly not choose the weapon in front of you. But, you’ve also sent a 2nd Amendment case to the Supreme Court which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that assault weapons are mind-controlling, so you would have put the weapon as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the gun in front of me.

LIBERTY: You’re trying to trick me into giving away something — it won’t work –

HELMKE: It has worked! You’ve given everything away! I know which one the assault weapon is!

LIBERTY: Then make your choice.

HELMKE: I will. And I choose — *suddenly stops, points* — LOOK! Somebody shooting squirrels with a .50 BMG!

LIBERTY: What? Where!? I don’t see anything.

HELMKE: *switches the guns* Oh, well, I-I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.

LIBERTY: What’s so funny?

HELMKE: I’ll tell you in a minute. First, let’s shoot — me with my weapon, and you with yours.

*three shot bursts ring out*

LIBERTY: You guessed wrong.

HELMKE: You only think I guessed wrong — that’s what’s so funny! I switched guns when your back was turned. You fool.

HELMKE: You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is “Never claim a righteous shooting in Massachussetts.” But only slightly less well known is this: “Never go in against the BRADY CAMPAIGN when a GUN BAN is on the line! HAHAHAHAHA!”

Just a note … few teeeny weeeeny minor edits in the above piece for re-publishing. The most drastic of which was the addition of Bloomberg. Come on, I had to!

Hope you enjoyed it for the second time!

And of course, the original scene from the movie:

Morons.

I hope they fail in everything they do.

UPDATE: The story is from Feb 2K9 – clearly an old story. That being said, I wouldn’t put it past this administration to try. McDonald v. Chicago is coming up and I think no matter the outcome all sorts of 2A tests from both sides are going to be flying around.

Obama ain’t too popular these days. When dorks like the Brady Bunch don’t want to hang with you, you know you’re a failure.

It’s like the Chess Club telling the Prom King he’s not allowed to join.

“It’s been a very disappointing year for us, especially considering what he campaigned on,” the group’s president, Paul Helmke, said during an appearance on MSNBC.

Heh.

Saw it here.

President Obama warned Massachusetts voters Sunday from following Republican Scott Brown’s old pickup truck around the state, saying if elected to the U.S. Senate, Brown will drive health care and the rest of the Democratic agenda off track.

Stumping Etiquette: When firing up the crowds in a special election for Ted Kennedy’s Old Seat, you might want to avoid analogies about driving off track.

Just sayin’.

That’s right, Obama The Musical will be opening in Germany and through the wonders of technology, Fighting For Liberty has received leaked lyrics to the big Obama solo during the show’s big finale!

Here it is, for you, dear reader … sung to the tune of “Modern Major General” from “Pirates of Penzance”! Put on a smile and sing it, you know you want to …

I am the very model of a wishy-washy President
My policies have generated massive voter discontent
By kissing foreign-leader-ass I’ve set a lousy precedent
But that’s okay I just don’t care ’cause I’m the White House Resident …

I’ve used Chicago politics with my buddy Blagojevich
I’ve used my marxist policies to spend about a two trillion-ish
The press would write a puff-piece story were my wife the wicked witch
I kicked butt in the primaries to beat that shrieking Clinton bitch …

He kicked butt in the primaries to beat that shrieking Clinton bitch
He kicked butt in the primaries to beat that shrieking Clinton bitch
He kicked butt in the primaries to beat that shrieking Clinton bitch

That Nobel’s on my shelf right now because I’ve done exactly jack
I guess you realize that it’s mine because I’m President and black
My policies have generated massive voter discontent
I am the very model of a wishy-washy President

His policies have generated massive voter discontent
He is the very model of a wishy-washy President

My experience consists of not much more than running a campaign
I’ll tax you ’til your brains fall out all in the name of Hope and Change
My teleprompter’s jealous ’cause it’s me who’s getting all the fame
It’s been a year since Bush was here but still I give him ALL the blame …

Mismanagement of cash-for-clunkers made Toyota’s year so great
Don’t ask me how some guy with flaming underoos got through the gate
I’ve led the charge of Democrats to lead the public health debate
I’ve even convinced Harry Reid to tax you if you masturbate

He’s even convinced Harry Reid to tax you if you masturbate
He’s even convinced Harry Reid to tax you if you masturbate
He’s even convinced Harry Reid to tax you if you masturbate

You called me light-skinned negro boy but you’re a Dem so that’s okay
Let’s pave a road to Cuba and bring all those guys from Gitmo Bay
I have more bad ideas I can implement with no delay
Because you know in three more years my White House stay will go away

His policies have generated massive voter discontent
He is the very model of a wishy-washy President

Well … all indications are that this musical won’t run for more than one term season …

For those unfamiliar with the tune …
