Chris Christie

Other than my natural inclination to be distrustful of any politician out of New Jersey, I find this response to a reporter’s question kinda refreshing.

I wonder if he'll be willing to put up with the bullshit past one term?

Etheridge apologizes...

...and that's supposed to make it all better. Except if he was sorry for his actions and not just getting caught he'd have apologized to the students before the video hit the fan. Scary thing is as far as the traditional media is concerned that probably is the end of it except for those arguing that the victims were in the wrong.

Update: And now the students are being compared to a "hunter-killer" team.

Bob Etheridge [D - NC] assaults student in DC

This took place sometime last week and now the video has hit the internet. The video speaks for itself. I don't know what they call that in DC but in your home state, Congressman, it's called simple assault and is a misdemeanor. I don't know about you but I expect more of my elected officials. You will of course turn yourself in...that's what I thought.

Midterms are coming up. The stress of possibly getting kicked to the curb must be getting to him. Driving him to drink or something.

Illinois Congressman Phil Hare...

...on Obamacare.

I don't worry about the constitution.

And you don't know the difference between the U. S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence either.

November can't come soon enough.

Durham Mayoral Election

On November 3rd Voters within the Durham City Limits get to vote for mayor. Current Mayor Bill Bell, a member of Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns is running for re-election. That alone is worth a no vote, but Bell is not worth the air he wastes. Unfortunately, he's a Democrat and in Durham that almost guarantees he'll win. Steve Williams is running against him and can't be worse. He has at least voiced support for the Second Amendment and Grass Roots North Carolina has voiced support. If you can vote in the city elections on November 3rd please vote for Williams and against Bell.

For frickin' what?!

Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The only thing I can think he's done is do his damn best to destroy the United States as a world power economically and politically. It's a work still in progress but I guess it rates the prize.

Ya think maybe Soros paid off the committee?

Update: Lawdog calls to out attention that Obama was in office eleven days when the nominations for the prize ended. Granted they had nine months to decide to give it to him but who the fuck would nominate him after only eleven days in office?

A true no chase policy

The Mayor of Wellford SC has prohibited the police from not only vehicle pursuits but also foot pursuits. Apparently the workman's compensation costs are too high. I think the video tends to speak for itself. It is proof we get the leadership the voters deserve.

Representation

When the government tried to ban the sale of once fired brass I mailed letters to Representative David Price, Senator Kay Hagen, and Senator Richard Burr. Its been over two months since I sent the letters and the situation has been resolved. I got a letter back from Burr explaining how the situation had been resolved. I got jack from my other elected officials. I now know where I stand with all three. No surprises here.
