John McCain: Hero Or Whore?

March 9, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

I was raised to honor the sacrifices of veterans, especially combat ones.

For that reason, US Senator John McCain has gotten a break from me (and even my vote in 2008.)

But, I’m not questioning his Vietnam service record.

My current inquiry has a much more recent vintage.

While US Senator Rand Paul undertook his historic filibuster, McCain and 11 other Senate Republicans were eating dinner.

With the president of the United States.

The same president whose drone policy and feared domestic deployment united left, right, and center of varying degrees into an unlikely coalition of grave concern.

Obama picked up the tab.

What he got in return was witnessed shortly thereafter.

Senator McCain wasted no time denouncing Rand Paul’s filibuster. His words speak for themselves:

Paul’s critics say this was a stunt to fatten his resume for a 2016 presidential run, designed not only for maximum PR but also to ingratiate him with libertarians, skeptical independents, and the conspiracy wings of both parties.

If that’s the case, then McCain’s heroism continued unbroken from his prisoner of war days.

This scenario paints Rand Paul as an ambitious politician so hungry for the White House that he’d stir up mistrust against the current administration.

Another scenario, once accepted by many in the liberty movement, the Tea Party and the GOP, feels McCain cast himself as a political prostitute for Obama, in exchange for unknown benefits.

His Senate speech was long on trusting government (the same one that drone-by shot terrorist American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki ) and short on demanding guarantees citizens are indeed safe
from this remote-controlled weapons system.

At issue is whether the government could plot to deprive Americans under suspicion of not only their rights but their very lives!

Casting my eyes to my own strand of the national fabric as an American Black shows a history replete with overreaches and downright conspiracies that abused generations.

The same government that recognized slavery, nationalized the act of slave-catching escapees, and supported second-class citizenship (even after a bloody civil war and waged covert war against civil rights activists with no regard for the Constitution), is one that I’d be foolish to blindly trust.

The crimson I see on its hands isn’t ink; it’s innocent Black blood- and that’s just from my strand of the national fabric!

Other Americans recently pointed to Waco and Ruby Ridge as examples of this same government rendering fatal N-word treatment to White Christians whose views ran afoul of it.

In my opinion, Rand Paul wasn’t catering to wild-eyed fringes who’d cost him reelection, let alone the Oval Office.

Whatever political calculations were included, I think he was also issuing a rarely heard challenge to the conspiracy of silence imposed upon responsible Americans by the Bush-Obama national security state, where questioning policy is treasonous.

We are not as free post-9/11 as we were before.

While foreign terrorists rightfully deserve much blame, they didn’t draft tyrannical legislation that in effect made every American a suspect who must prove his identity and good faith (where once before, the burden of proof rested with the state.)

Questioning an ultimate expression of this national security-flavored …read more

Video: Obama Admin Prepares To Disarm America

March 2, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

By Kris Zane

Barack Obama is a Marxist. And like all good Marxists, he wants to disarm the public. It’s not like it hasn’t been done before. In October 1918, the Communist government “ordered citizens to surrender all firearms, ammunition…having first mandated registration of all weapons six months earlier.”

The Nazis followed the same pattern.

The Nazi Weapons Law of November 11, 1938 prohibited Jews from “acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons.”

Both the Nazis and Communist Party members were exempt from these guns bans.

Now it’s our federal government that is exempt from the laws they place on the public they are mandated to serve.

After the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, Obama and his Marxist minions began wringing their hands decrying those evil assault weapons, while quietly ordering 7000 AR-15s for the Department of Homeland Security. In order to exempt themselves from the laws they want to foist on the American people, the AR-15s are being referred to as “personal defense weapons.”

But what is really shocking is the number of bullets the federal government is stockpiling.

The Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled a staggering amount of ammunition—two billion rounds, most of it the hollow point, armor-piercing variety, enough to kill every American man, woman, and child five times.

The DHS claims all these bullets are for “training purposes.”

And what are they using for targets?

The DHS has been stockpiling “non-traditional” gun targets, portraying everyday Americans defending themselves, even purchasing targets of a small child with a handgun.

The ATF, with fond memories of the Ruby Ridge massacre, is also getting in the act with a target depicting a woman protecting her unborn child.

But what is good for the government apparently is not good for the public.

The Veterans Administration is moving to disarm so-called “incompetent” veterans, sending out thousands of letters with the following:

A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both…

Of course, the letter leaves open as to what “incompetency” entails.

Military veterans traditionally are liberty-loving conservatives. This “incompetency” may be the government’s view that veterans have a predilection for becoming domestic terrorists.

A little known sub-department within the DHS called the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism—START, for short— published “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States.” Who should we be worried about, per START? Those who are “reverent of individual liberty.” Those who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority.” Those who believe there is a “grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.”

Sounds like the basis for the Obama administration to take out veterans, Tea Party members, and anyone who holds conservative values. Anyone who believes the Constitution of the United States is the highest law in the land.

Everyday conservative Americans are becoming Public Enemy Number One of the Obama Administration.

And enemies need to be disarmed.

Conservatives: “F- The Police!”

February 11, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

Hear the phrase, “F- The Police!” and one immediately thinks of the 1988 song by rap group NWA.

This sentiment may not be confined to the inner city alone.

Some White conservatives, far removed from the Hood, are no less trusting of law enforcement. The mid-20th Century inflamed today’s current mistrust.

The 1992 federal siege on Ruby Ridge and the 1993 televised armored assault on David Koresh compound fanned this sentiment among the Right in that time period.

Even the chairman of the National Rifle Association in 1995 famously called government agents, “jack booted thugs”!

From Clinton to Obama, there’s been a steady increase in heavy handed policing tactics which have strained relations with conservatives, usually law enforcement’s strongest supporters.

The recent fire storm caused by the publication of “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right,” by West Point scholar Arie Perliger, has increased suspicion even more toward Obama-era federal policing.

Looming on the horizon is Obama’s civilian national security force, which he announced in a 2008 speech, off teleprompter no less, that:

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Conservatives fear this force will be used for garrison duty in a United States resembling Eastern Europe under Soviet domination.

“F- The Police!” is a cry frequently associated with more than inner city gang-bangers.

White and other conservatives have joined this unlikely chorus, as Americans with little in common unite around a shared mistrust of law enforcement.

One hopes this changes given how police and conservatives serve as defenders of tradition, but as government grows bigger, this likelihood in some minds grows smaller.
