Final Protective Fire

Recently a speaker at one of the confused anarchist gatherings called "Occupy Wall Street" in Los Angeles made the usual confused, communist call for "revolution". Amusingly, the consensus among the various conservative and gun enthusiast blogs is pretty much "Bring it on". Or as one said, quoting Dennis Quaid playing Doc Holliday: "I'm your huckleberry." What is it with this moron anarchists thinking that "come the revolution", we are not going to string them up on the lampposts?

As a result of the brilliant work that Ann Althouse and Meade have been doing in Wisconsin regarding the protests by public employees against the Wisconsin legislature and governor's budget proposals ... A greeting to Ann Althouse from the Wisconsin Brown Shirts. Welcome to the world of the New Fascism. Same as the old Fascism.

Idiotic thugs like New Castle New York city councilman Michael Wolfensohn need to be shown for the low life that they are. Patrick at Popehat does that.

I'm sorry that any one from Colorado who visits my blog is getting shown those completely fraudulent ads about Ken Buck, GOP senate candidate in Colorado.

I don't control the content of the ads. I did send more money to Ken Buck's campaign than the ads are paying me. And I voted for him already.

Meanwhile ....

This article in a physics journal reports a paper that suggests that sunspots will continue to decline in the near term and stay at a minimum for decades.

While it is amusing to be able to say "I told you so" to the AGW advocates, this isn't great news. We may have to start pumping out more CO2 ...

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.

I had a long rant prepared for how I saw our political leadership abandoning the purposes we had dedicated ourselves to after 9/11. But I erased it. Instead above, find the poem written in 1918 by Moinan Michael as a response to MacCrae's famous poem "In Flanders Fields".

Democratic Congresswoman caught giving scholarship money to her grandchildren from Congressional Black Caucus scholarships she controlled.

Her excuse? She's too stupid to know it was unethical ...

Oh, and no one lied even though the application form, signed by her relatives, specifically recited that the scholarship eligibility excluded them, and they swore that they were not related to anyone associated with CBC ...

TSA's dangerous incompetence continues. Real terrorists? Allowed to board plane. Non terrorist? Not allowed on the plane.

See a pattern?

Michael Bennett is currently running for election to the Senate seat he was appointed to by Governor Bill Ritter in Colorado.

Michael Bennett is a mediocrity who got where he is by somehow conning Denver mayor Hickenlooper ( who is also running for Governor this election cycle ) to put him in as Denver Public Schools Superintendant where he showed that he not only was an idiot in business dealings he was supposed to be knowledgable upon but was also an idiot in the topic of reforming education. Denver Public Schools still pumps out "graduates" who have difficulty tying their own shoes.

Don't elect Bennett to the Senate - we've too many incompetent mediocrities there already.

The Firearm Blog is holding a contest for those that link to the Lucky Gunner website.

What the heck, I'll do the supplicant act for .380 ACP ammo ...

.380 ACP ammo is finally showing up in the stores, and this contest is for FMJ ammo it appears, but I could use some practice in the .380 ACP carry gun.

Parce que si vous ne pouvez pas ridicule de vie des Canadiens alors n'est pas digne d'être vécue .

On this Memorial Day, I'm remembering Major Andrew Olmsted a man I met at some of our Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash events. Major Olmsted reminded me of what true service looks like.

I miss him.

Sadly, this week, my namesake, Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts passed away. I actually was named after him as my mother has admitted to me. She'd heard the name on a radio broadcast of a baseball game he was pitching for the Phillies at the time and liked the sound of it. She'd never heard the first name used before evidently. Paul at Powerline has a nice discussion of his pitching career here.

My condolences to his family.

Beldar's posts always make me jealous. No less this one where he explains that the recent memo signed by Obama on hospital recognition of gay partners is a sham.

So tonight CNN has Joy Behar opining on Sarah Palin's supposed lack of knowledge about nuclear policy on which she's criticized President Obama.

Joy Behar making such comments is like Rainman complaining about my lack of social skills.
