   I remember all of the furor of the left when they accused President Reagan of personally importing drugs into the USA so that he could destroy the black inner-city community. It was a total lie, of course, but it became part of the liberal myth of Ronald Reagan.

   Now we have actual proof of those same leftists deliberately arming the drug cartels and getting a federal agent murdered. This isn’t a myth either, it’s fact.

   I’m still waiting to hear the hours of in-depth coverage from the MSM…

   So, not only were
   the ATF agents who later blew the whistle predicting that this operation would end in tragedy, so were the gun dealers—even as ATF urged them to make the sales.

   Right, what could possibly go wrong? For all the heat he took yesterday, Doug Powers’ observations on the ahem, “Holder Estate” establish a pattern. One we know all too well.

   OT: This should also make your day:

   “The New Black Panther Party — an organization known largely for their intimidation of voters outside a Philadelphia precinct — has announced plans for a “National Day of Action and Unity” — ironically urging followers (on their day of unity) to boycott all “non-black business” on April 23.

   The New Black Panthers plan to protest non-black establishments and entities via “rallies, marches, demonstrations, programs, and confrontations” in over 60 cities.

   “Because blacks worldwide are dissatisfied at their current condition,” the Panther’s announcement explains.”

    What holds our Constitution together, almost invisibly, is honor. The founders gave each of the three parts of government powers and supervision. The House and or Senate could sue the Justice Department, the courts might decide in their favor. Then what? Who prosecutes the prosecutors? The Senate is supposed to confirm (or not), and the President is supposed to nominate persons of experience, rectitude, gravitas. Sure — Holder swore to uphold, preserve, and protect but what if he doesn’t? The only way out is impeachment, but if partisanship intervenes (no shock there!) in, say, the Senate? In times past, a press exposure of these mistakes and possible crimes, would embarrass a President and even the bureaucrat into resignation. I think politics and patronage have long attached to the Post Office, Interior, Labor, Agriculture, etc. But Justice? Or State or Defense? Many resigned rather than carry out Nixon’s orders. It’s been worse ever since … Hillary’s law partner?

    Republicans and other Democrats have appointed cronies or friends to Justice and its top levels. Somehow honor came with them. Back then . . .

    We all need to write to CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, etc. and ask them when they will be reporting on this. When we write and call our “representatives” in DC, it sometimes helps. Has anyone flooded the MSM with questions about exactly WHY they don’t report on the blatant and provable corruption in this administration? If enough of us hound them, maybe they will see they won’t get away with the treason of extremely biased reporting. Ask them if they really want to be a part of the reason the United States is in deep trouble. Ask them if they think they will be just fine when this country turns into Greece. Get in their faces. I am so sick of this! It is time to call them on their duplicity.

    A few days ago, President Obama did an interview with reporter Jorge Ramos of Univision, in which he claimed that neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder authorized the operation.

    Obama said: “Well, first of all I did not authorize it. Eric Holder, the Attorney General, did not authorize it. He’s been very clear that our policy is to catch gun runners and put them into jail. So what he’s done is he’s assigned an I.G., an inspector general, to investigate what exactly happened.”

    Oh… Holder is looking ‘in’ to it! Rest assured he’ll get to the bottom of things!

    I can’t believe the lack of security checks on credit card donations wasn’t reported heavily and subsequently investigated.

    I’ve emailed Senator Issa about this issue, requesting he put this on his investigation list.
    A simple sort on the credit card number on the database of donations would do it. If the same number is listed under multiple names, you have fraud.

    Surely you must be joking.

    With our OBummer enabling media? Had it been John McAmenesty’s website, the media would have been all over it in less than a heartbeat. But OBummer? Not a chance.

    CBS apparently is reporting on this. See above:

    CBS News’s Sheryl Atkinson:

    NRA News is reporting on this. They may be heard on the Sirius/XM Patriot channel, at NRAnews.com, podcasts in the itunes store, and free mp3 downloads here (for those without itunes)

    From what I’ve read, the FEC already knows they had donations from cartoon characters and that security protocols for credit and pre-paid debit cards were disabled. The campaign has had to return $400,000 already.

    Nothing to see here, move along…..

    Mexican homicides tripled while ATF operation sent guns south

    In the two years since Barack Obama took office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ramped up its Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious gun trafficking sting operations, drug war homicides in Mexico nearly tripled, according to an article published over the weekend by Global Research.

    Absolutely. The Left will continue to work remove firearms and ammo from the hands of law abiding citizens, leaving them only in the hands of government and criminals, which are sometimes one and the same.

    No paranoia, that’s exactly what it’s about. They wanted to prove true their lie of Mexico being flooded with U.S. guns. That is a prelude to restricting our rights.

    It’s for the children….

    I have asked every LEO, Homeland Security officer I can find and asked them about this, and every one of them have told me under no uncertain terms that an Operation like Project Gun runner can be placed into operation with out the approval of Holder himself, whom also has to get approval from the President.

    Now this was explained to me why they had to get approval from Holder.

    1. Competing Law Enforcement Agencies, such as the local Police, Sheriff, and FBI would have to be informed of any such operation to prevent any duplicate investigations and to prevent arrest of innocent people involved, and this can only be done by a direct letter from the DOJ.

    2. BATF gets all it’s legal advice through the DOJ and only they can advise the BATF on what Actions to take.

    3. The BATF is under direct control of the DOJ, therefore they can not act with out informing the DOJ of any operations.

    When you see the ranks of the justice system, lawyers, staffed by the likes Obama and Holder, we have to educate our kids or even ourselves.

    When good kids are wondering what to do with their education future, here are classic examples of why they should seriously consider the law as a career.

    As for this immediate situation I remember the original press trying to as usual smear the gun store owners.

    I cannot speak to every gun store owner, but everyone I have ever met has been some of the most loyal and patriotic individuals you could ever meet.

    And as for being some shady hustler out for a buck, that depiction could not be farther from the reality. These people who run gun stores care about the people who they are selling to and go out of their way in whatever way they can to aid, educate and inform the customer, and law enforcement.

    What bothers me most is that the Obama administration screamed about so many guns going south but they were the ones sending them there, quite probably so that they could scream so loud in order to bring so much more gun control/second amendment desicration could be brought to law!

    Of course. Maybe six months ago the news tools were all blabbing about how the violence in Mexico was because of lax gun laws that allowed Texas and Arizona gun dealers to flood Mexico with “assault rifles.” Add in the requirement that our guys can only carry bean bags and you have the US Gov involved in getting Americans killed for their political ends. Bill Ayers and Obama are ideological blood brothers.

    For all too long the ATF has been more a Social Policy agency than a law enforcement group. They are out of control and have been all too long. With the all too much power Congress gave them they have assumed even more by administrative fiat. They are a poster child for a government grown too big, too powerful and out of control.

    Cut the budget:

    Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
    should be a convenience store,
    NOT a government agency.
