“She referred to recent high-profile incidents of minor disputes in movie theaters or parking lots that escalated into lethal shootings, saying, “That’s what happens in the countries I’ve visited that have no rule of law."”You mean like those countries you visited where you had to duck sniper fire getting off the plane? Those countries?
'Course, that little lie was a long time ago. After all this time, what difference does it make?

Dude...
ReplyDeleteFrom that article...
ReplyDelete"Don't vote for someone who proudly says they will never compromise," she told the audience. And "don't give them any money. Find someone in your party who's reasonable ... who's not going to Washington proudly to destroy what our Founders built."
So...she's not running?
Not a damn bit... Her true colors came out a LONG time ago...
ReplyDeleteAh of course, no rule of law... that's why these "recent high-profile incidents" have had police investigations and court proceedings spool up.
ReplyDeleteOh... wait.
Gotta love a case where a retired cop is in jail awaiting at trail and a case where the accused was convicted of multiple accounts of attempted murder are examples of... weak gun laws.
I wouldn't put money on this until we get closer to primary time, but chances are that Hillary's campaign will be plumb dead in the water by the time the Florida Primary rolls around.
ReplyDeleteThink Rudy 2008 or Newt 2012.
"Speaking at a National Council for Behavioral Health conference outside of Washington, Clinton was asked about the role guns play in suicides. While Clinton said she supports Second Amendment rights, she added that there needs to be a proper trade-off between safety and freedom, and that things have swung too far toward the latter."
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's our problem in a nutshell: too much freedom.
Proposed bumper sticker:
"Hillary! Because too much freedom!"
No. Just no. Hell, NO! Not in 2008, not in 2016. Never. No. No. No.
ReplyDeleteIt's like some sort of totalitarian inverse square law. The more, and more onerous the gun laws are, the weaker they become. Which would account for the high murder rates in the (not USA) countries that are invisible to the Leftists.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to define "Rule of Law" ought to be a requirement for Secretary of State.
ReplyDelete"there needs to be a proper trade-off between safety and freedom, and things have swung too far toward the latter."
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton 2014
This is how I prefer to quote this. It says everything that needs to be said about Hillary Clinton.

If our illiterate electorate should select this person for higher office and the illegal electorate fraud we have as an election elect her, I am heading for the hills.
ReplyDelete> "Hillary! Because too much freedom!"
ReplyDeleteI'd buy those. But to paste on other people's cars next to, or over, the "Obama/Biden" sticker, not to put on my own. I should be quite safe, after all those people won't have guns, right?
> Clinton was asked about the role guns play in suicides.
Some fun facts (for values of "fun") about suicide in the US, from CDC statistics.
1. Men are more likely to commit suicide by firearm then women.
2. White people are more likely to commit suicide by firearm than Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans (it seems like a wash between white folks and black folks).
So the next time some left-leaning type gasses on about needing stricter gun control because of suicides, ask them why they privilege white male suicides over suicide among women and ethnic minorities. Why do they hate women and minorities so?
To close on a morbid note, if any of you bitterly clinging gun nuts out there are contemplating suicide, don't do it with a gun. (Well, don't do it at all, but that's a different discussion.)
in 2008 Hillary was taken out of the game by an unknown upstart with no record of accomplishment. What has changed? Her big, visible supporter then was Rupert Murdoch. He was handily beat by George Soros who was willing to throw huge amounts of money at the media not controlled by Murdoch to buy his guy the nomination. The only way Hillary could take the nomination is if no other democrat is interested (a possibility) and if she is seen as a good investment for the money changers.
ReplyDeleteHillary vs. whatever collectivist lite the dead elephants put up.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting to where it isn't even worth the brain cycles any more.
Oh, one more thing. Those prior graphs showed proportion of suicides by mechanism versus age-group/sex or ethnicity. Absolute rate of suicide is also higher among white men than any other group. This graph is a little hard to read but the key points are that the solid line is aggregate suicide rate in the US, and the only line above that is for white men.

ReplyDelete"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."
"Rule of Law" - like in California where the One-Party State has guys like Leeland Yee running their own import-export buziness?
ReplyDeleteTokugawa Japan had strict weapon controls, and was considered civilized by the standards of the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd anyone in the country could find themselves having to deal with an angry person trying to remove their head with a three foot long razor blade merely for looking at them wrong.
