Why Liberals Talk about Guns

Via David

From Bill McGurn’s latest column in the Wall Street Journal, a truly brilliant insight:

Put simply, today’s liberalism cannot deal with the reality of evil. So liberals inveigh against the instruments the evil use rather than the evil that motivates them….

Maryland Deputy Attorney General Busted on Video: “We Should Ban Guns Altogether, Period”

Via David

Good luck, kiddie.

Maryland, the now ironically named “Free State,” has been through eight years under Communist Martin O’Malley’s governorship. 

 Now, it appears that the state’s Deputy Attorney General, Thiruvendran Vignarjah was busted by Project Veritas as he attended a national conference of state attorneys general in New York City and said that he was for a total ban of guns altogether.

Notice the disdain for the Constitution, the law and the God-given rights of the people he is supposed to serve in his comments when he was asked what kinds of illegal gun controls he would seek to impose:

Why Does Obama Call ISIS 'ISIL'?

Via David

Many who closely follow the dueling Islamic terror narratives emanating from the White House are mystified by Mr. Obama's inability (or deliberate unwillingness) to utter the phrase "Islamic terrorists."  Many are curious, too, about why he refuses to call ISIS "ISIS," steadfastly insisting instead that everybody in his administration call the terror group "ISIL."  What's the difference, and why is it important?  The agendas behind each diverge widely. 

 In fact, the variance between the two is elephantine in scale. 

ISIS stands for the "Islamic State in Iraq and Syria," a terror group controlling a large swath of both Iraq and Syria in which the terrorists claim to have established a "caliphate," a state in which Islamic sharia law is imposed upon all living in the area, anyone who fails to adhere to strict Muslim guidelines has his head removed.  Obama's contrary assertions aside, ISIS is by no means contained.  In fact, the savage group (which prefers to be called the "Islamic State" or "IS") has metastasized on maps like immense pools of blood covering the ancient borders that once divided parts of Syria and Iraq.

Richard Petty’s 43JR at MACAN

 

As the 1965 racing season began, NASCAR rules had been changed to outlaw the HEMI-powered Mopars that dominated the winner’s circle in 1964. The Petty clan was still promoting Plymouth and decided to take some spectacular detours to drag strips nationwide with a new type of racing car.

Lee Petty and his then-young son Richard had not twiddled their thumbs waiting for NASCAR to change its mind. Instead, they built a HEMI-engined “fish bowl” Barracuda and campaigned it on demonstration runs throughout the South. This Petty Blue rocketship—completely restored and looking like new—recently showed up at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Ill.

The first time they took the car out, it ran in the 10.50-second quarter mile bracket and hit speeds up to 140 mph. Richard Petty was well known and he had already done some exhibition drag racing before he and his dad built the Barracuda. Drag race promoters were willing to pay him to run at their strips.

Valerie Jarrett: Imposing More Gun Laws will Make US a “More Perfect Union”

Via Michael

The fact that anyone actually believes that gun control is a solution to criminal actions by individuals with guns is really laughable. Yet, the Marxists are always eager to take advantage of every crisis. 

This week, Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett attended and spoke at a vigil at Sandy Hook and later tweeted out the "ending gun violence" (aka imposing more gun restrictions) would lead to the united States being a "more perfect union." 

Jarrett, who spoke to those in attendance at St. Marks Episcopal Church on Wednesday, said that Hussein Obama was ready to act with illegal executive orders against the rights of gun owners and in defiance of the Second Amendment's protections if Congress was unwilling to pass more illegal legislation to restrict guns.

A Brave New World…in the South

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?
George Orwell, 1984

The Abbeville Institute was founded over a decade ago to preserve and defend the South… her traditions, literature, history, arts, and faiths. 

Recently we came across the memorandum below from a student affairs office at a major Southern university. The officers who wrote it assume that the elements of culture we defend are inimical to community and destructive of human fellowship. They say that they champion “diversity” and “inclusivity” but this is a poorly disguised lie. For without heritage, culture, religion and tradition we are a monochrome society, the opposite of a diverse people. 

Without true culture we will become what they admit inadvertently in the memorandum to be their real true goal—a people of functioning “workplace relationships.” And don’t be fooled by the invitation to bring ethnic “food items.” Exotic meals and all other externalities of international culture are fine with these people so long as all of us are the exact same underneath it all. For who are you if you have left your metaphysics at the door? Calling the memorandum “suggestions” is another lie. Their do-s and do-nots are commands…they are commands to happy and mindless workers. If they have no teeth now they will soon. What is to stop them if the people have no faith, no heritage, or convictions?
