VIDEO: Have a liberal coffee at Starbucks and openly display your balls, er guns

Starbucks would prefer not to be in the middle. They were first approached by one side, which includes the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and the Washington State Million Mom March. Organizers of the event hope to pressure Starbucks into adopting a no-guns policy in all its stores. On the other side is a large, organized group of gun owners who can't be parted from their guns even to wear them legally concealed, and are making sure their openly carried firearms are seen as they belly up to the bar to order a banana Frappuccino with a cinnamon bun.

VIDEO: Psycho Talk Ed Schultz, James O'Keefe Sean Hannity. lawbreaker or investigator

nospam@example.com (Newscat) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 05:44:00 -0700

Many have reported, and talked with future felon James O'Keefe of ACORN infamy; now in the spotlight for breaking into Mary Landrieus' office. Sean Hannity of Fox News may be the first dim enough to follow O'Keefe's defense strategy as if it were truth, and compare O'Keefe's illegal activities to legitimate journalism, exactly like the reporters on NBC's Dateline. Like the investigative reporters, but for one rather major detail, which seems to elude our boy Hannity. I doubt it will elude the judge!

Kansas Red State jury finds Scott Roeder guilty as charged

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 07:31:41 -0700

Scott Roeder who happily put a bullet between the eyes of Dr. Tiller while he was in church on Sunday took the stand to first gloat over his crime and then try and sway the Kansas jury to call it manslaughter. The middle American Kansas jury deliberated 37 minutes before returning to the courtroom with a guilty plea. The 51 year old Roeder is expected to receive a between 25 and 50 year sentence with no parole. Scott Roeder found Guilty

Imagine, 15,000 square feet of warehouse store that's a one stop shopping center for everything you need to grow cannabis. No prescription, no problem, doctors are on site! Alice B Toklas will be able to grow her special brownie ingredient, if this entrepreneur has his way. Feds have recently come down on pot buyers clubs, it will be interesting to see how long the pot growers clubs can stay below their radar with wide-spread publicity.

Judge Warren Wilbert tosses out Scott Roeders defense on two counts

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:10:59 -0700

Judge Warren Wilbert told the jury in Sedgwick County that they could not consider accepting lesser charges from murdering Taliban slug Scott Roeder. Judge Wilbert ruled that as there were no potential babies in danger in the back of the church, and that Scott Roeder had already admitted to planning on how to accomplish his task the day before - finally settling upon walking up to Dr. Tilson at church and plugging him between the eyes - that neither the manslaughter or 2nd degree charged were acceptable under Kansas law.

Video: Supreme Court justice Alito gives Obama a NOT TRUE

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:44:56 -0700

Republican Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito who with the four other Republicans on the Supreme Court gave corporations (who have no public interest other than profit) more power than the people to decide our elections - shook his head NO and mouthed NOT TRUE to the President in his State of the Union speech. John Oliver Corporation Loves Alito decision

Update: Neither Antonin "Benito" Scalia or "Uncle" Clarence Thomas made faces or called the President a liar. But then again they both refused to show up. Just seeing the President makes them want to hand over the government to AMWAY.

Jon Stewart & Sam Bee SLAM Rudy Giuliani & Nancy Grace

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:14:10 -0700

The best line in this video clip is the ending. The same line I shouted not a few times - to no one listening - 10 years ago during the Republican Impeachment of Bill Clinton.

"Geraldo Rivera is now the voice of reason in America!"

The well deserved and long over due slam on Nancy Grace is not only about the media deciding who is guilty or innocent, but that she has no peer in causing Americans to buy truck loads of guns and ammo, helping to jack up punishments, build more prisons, offer less parole and probation, put more people into death chambers and increase the sales of adult diapers for her audience to shit their pants in fear of everyone everywhere.

Also a slam on the general media for this same process of making Law & Order entertainment rather than the serious business it is.

I am certainly no smarter than anyone else outside Texas, but when I saw the water disappearing from that beach before the Indian Ocean Tsunami I knew what was coming BACK. Same thing when I saw that silver balloon blowing across the prairie. It was just a larg Mylar Valentines Day Balloon which in no possible way could it carry a 50 pound kid. Come on, we need a bit of critical thought rather than just blind acceptance of what these people are saying. Because remember, everything they do and say is to sell Twinkies, Trucks and lots and lots of beer for your brain.

The Rudy Giuliani clips here say much about Republican politics of the day. The hypocrisy of the GOP that no matter what Obama - or any Democrat does - it is going to be wrong and evil no matter they would do the same thing.

Bringing Muslim Hijackers to NY justice was just fine with Rudy 3 years ago, what changed? The Republicans got tossed out of Washington to be replaced by not only a bunch of Socialists who want everyone to have affordable health care, but their inarticulate white good ole boy was replaced by an uppity multi-cultural Constitutional Law professor! Republicans do not like smart people, like the song goes; Smart people, smart people, Smart people got no business to live.

Stephen Colbert, Jeffery Tobin discuss Corporate Political Free Speech

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:11:28 -0700

First we have the biting satire from Stephen Colbert on this, the worst Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott. It makes the political decision of Bush V Gore look like non partisan child's play.

CNN legal scholar Jeffery Tobin adda a bit of gravitas to this election changing game.

Looking into this a big further a few things struck me. First of all how purely political it is. The five conservative Republicans on the court are in lock step to bring this up and override 100 years of precedent and knowingly - with malice a forethought - further hand over our election process to those who have not only the most money, but who are driven only by profit rather than any issue of common good.

No limits on money handed to politicians or the media so Exxon/Mobile can foul the planet.
No limits on Cigna/WellPoint to create even more death cubicles sending grandma to rescission Hell.
No limits on Rush Limbaugh EIB network spending his 240 million a year on a media blitz to put his music video of Barack The Magic Negro across the networks 24/7.

Antonin "Benito" Scalia was of course the most dishonest of the gang by centering his questions around the silly business that if not acted upon it would deny free political speech to the mom and pop owners of your local Quickee Mart. I mean really. Yeah that's what this is about? No, this is about this last election where the wealthy Right lost to a... a... Uppity... A uppity... A uppity liberal... Hmmm...

[After hearing President Jimmy Carter last night say that a very substantial part of this anger at President Obama is racism, and Mornin' Joe Scarborough declare that is just not true, I guess I must defer to the one time Congressman from the most radical racist right-wing doctor shooting area of America, the Florida Panhandle.]

This Supreme Court decision is perfectly tuned to the base ideology of these kind of people who not only believe that corporations with the most money should have the most speech - so much speech it displaces the speech of actual people - but also who strongly believe that those with the most money should receive the best health care and the best justice - as this case so well suggests.

Lockerbee Release, compassion, terrorism and Victim Rights

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:53:00 -0700

I do well at coming up with new ways of becoming unpopular! Dangerously so by arguing against guns. But also going against the general flow of Americana in decrying capital punishment, corporeal punishment, silly religious crap, revenge and saying most recently saying some very well deserved bad things about Quentin Tarantino. This all of course makes me unpatriotic, unAmerican and the most dreaded of all persuasions, a pacifist. OH MY GOD! So let me add another unAmericanism to the growing list to piss just about everyone off!

Scotland, working under British law released the Lockerbie Pan Am terrorist back to his family in Libya the other day. Big news here in America as we watched cable news networks give us the entire live feed of the van going to the airport aka OJ Simpson.

There are three issues at work in this.

First is that European secular concept of compassion which our American Christian culture has not a clue to. A team of doctors have said the man has advanced prostrate cancer with less than 3 months to live. They sent him home to die with his family. Oh the HORROR! I say let everyone in the world who has only 3 months to live go home to die with their family.

Secondly is that Europe and most of the rest of the world see terrorism as a horrible crime and treat it as such RATHER THAN a cause to change constitutions, legal systems, prisons and initiate preemptive wars and torture! TORTURE! Gosh... I know I know, THEY are lined up to blow up our malls and kill our children! Oh and destroy democracy and freedom on our shores! No, we did that, which was exactly what they intended us to do. Gosh, The United States of Duh.

But it is the third issue that has been festering in my Jite World View for so long that its time to admit to it.

When we allow victim's families into our legal system it destroys our system of blind justice. It adds not only emotions into what is ideally the cold hard rule of law, but it also confuses justice with vengeance.

Our amber alerts, our probation and parole systems and above all that Sex Offender DVD have been hijacked by angry revenge seeking victim families. Those who have paid their price and those who have done little wrong are put on the same list as murdering rapists. These angry families see to it that there are no second chances, that there is no hope for jobs or even a place to live for those who have paid their price to society. Often a sentence of life under a bridge or having their homes burned down by American Mobs.

It is victim families who go to parole boards to keep those who paid their dues to keep them forever behind bars. This vengeance is not only devoid of mercy, compassion, and Christian theology but fouls our legal system with emotions rather than the Rule of Law.

Sure this is all AMERICAN, but just because something is American doesn't automatically make it right. Holy Shit did I say that? Gosh...

Down here in Dumbutt we execute a few poor souls most every week. The news most always begins with a lengthy emotional report on the terrible crime followed by quotes of victim family members commenting on how much they needed, wanted or enjoyed the execution.

Sorry! That is not news. That is humanity just being less than it can be. The news regarding these executions comes rarely when a victim family member stands up against the execution and for Jesus Christ by refusing to extend the circle of vengeance to yet another family of victims. BTW, those outside the unit promoting executions wear Jesus on their sleeve. HOW DISGUSTING. Gosh...

As to guns. I have to also say the unpopular thing. What kind of a society to we live in when we are so afraid we have to have take a gun to bed, in glove box and tucked in our pants or purse?
It is a sure sign that something is very very wrong with America.

Not enough SOCIALISM is my guess!

Our American Safety Net is a lose weave intended to catch only elephants...

Stephen Colbert, Virgina High School Girl Suspended for Taking a Birth Control Pill

Poor Economy causes Rise in Shoplifting, Including dogs, Jean Val Jean Remembered

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 08:51:26 -0700

80% of retail stores have said that shoplifting has increased over the past few months. About the same percentage for professionals and amateurs. Poor economy blamed for rise in shoplifting - Survey of 52 chain stores showed 84% experiencing increase in amateur crimes

It is not yet known if the now infamous shoplifting dog of Murry, Utah is a pro or an amateur. Now a few days after the fact without an arrest, it seems the dog was a pro. After all, it was caught on video and he has so far eluded arrest.

With more and more of these stories sure to be coming at us things get worse, my hopes are up that a new generation of readers will pick up one of the greatest books in classical literature, Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.

The story of Jean Val Jean who suffering the poverty before the French Revolution steals a loaf of bread to feed his hungry child, is caught at the scene and promptly sentenced to 20 years rowing in the bowels of French Warship.

After his release, poor paperwork causes him to be hounded for another 20 years through the French countryside and the sewers of Paris during the Revolution by the unrelenting Inspector Jarvet who is dead set on sending him back to prison, the rule of law.

Warning Spoiler [The chances of anyone under 50 reading this book, or any such book for that matter, are about nil]

Victor Hugo ends his 2000 page epic chase with the two men finally confronting each other on a bridge over the Seine River in Paris. Val Jean's life is recounted as a long series of good deeds while Jarvet recounts his life of living the mindless authority of the letter of the law. Val Jean walks into the sunset a free and content man while Jarvet realizes his life was wasted and jumps to his death.

Jon Stewart on Dick Cheney Being indicted in Texas

Man shoots own lawn mower may get prison. Joe Horn shot MAN in back, goes free?

nospam@example.com (Newscat) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:29:00 -0700

Who hasn't been tempted to shoot a balky mower? Keith Waldenowsky of Milwaukee had a bit - okay more than a bit to drink before finding that the mower wouldn't start Wednesday morning and shooting it. He told police quote, "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want." It turns out that euthanasia of one's lawn mower is not just between the owner and the machine. Charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed may lead to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted. Man shoots own lawn mower may get prison. Joe Horn shot MAN in back, goes free?

It looks as though if you live in Texas like Joe Horn, you can shoot people in the back and walk - if they are a minority, and not only avoid prison but be lauded by some racist residents. In Milwaukee, you may well do time for shooting an inanimate object. Just proves we are ruled by robot overlords. Houston Chronicle Editorial on Texas Vigilante Joe Horn

Supreme Court 2nd Amendment says YES to lots more Guns in DC

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 07:49:39 -0700

As expected it was a 5 to 4 ruling from the Right to get more guns to more people everywhere AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! As everyone knows, the problem here in America is we just don't have enough guns to go around.

On the surface it would seem the conservative leaning Supreme Court would side with Washington DC (as a state) to do as they please, which is what being a conservative is most about; states rights today, states rights tomorrow and states rights forever! (that has a familiar ring I just can't seem to place). But much like the Supreme Court conservatives who in 2000 gave us 8 years of a creepy stupid asshole for president, this too is a very political decision, an example of the conservative court going activist.

This is far reaching, it means cities and states no longer have the constitutional right to control handguns and also states that gun ownership is now an individual right. This means all present gun controls will be contested by the NRA, the Militias, the racist and anti-immigration groups and of course the Bloods and the Cripps.

Taking this decision to the international level, this court would have to decide that it is only fair to allow North Korea and Iran to join the nuclear weapon club. Doen't everyone have the right to defend themselves in an equal manner? It's also great to know that places such as Canada, England, Europe, Austrailia and Japan are now no longer considered free nations.

So stock up, the small arms race has begun!

Good deals can be had in this economic downturn. Prices are down across the board. The best weapon for the toddler through 12 year old group is the rather short barreled semi automatic .22 long (cartidge) rifle that is available at Walmart for under $100. May soon be available also at gas stations and McDonalds.

Moving up the price scale the easily hidden and handy machine pistols like the Mach 10 and UZI are good for taking along on walks or rides on the bus or in the car. Also good for bars.

The 9 mm automatic pistols are pricey but most popular. Always a good weapon to flash around to show friends and enemies alike you are doing well.

But of course the weapon of choice is the AK47 also known as the Kalashnikov. If you are a male who wants both respect and firepower this is the weapon of choice for every terrorist and crime lord in the world. These weapons usually come with a free turban or a pair of wraparound mirrored sunglasses. Visit Our NRA Gun Page
