I would't be doing any laughing right now cos you and I know that they will be coming back until something is passed. remember, the 1st round of TARP was defeated till they went back and added a few more bacon strips to the bill and the grease enabled it to pass.

This is not the last of Gun control legislation.

They are like rabid dogs. They'll keep coming, but they are running out of time, ergo the desperation. The empire is rapidly crumbling and they need the guns.

I like how they crammed two Senators into one space in their black-and-white Wall of Shame, presumably to maintain symmetry.

Another example of " minority rules?" How shameful!! Harry Reid, it's time for you to go. You don't stand for anything.

My response:


Minorities and majorities shouldn't matter when it comes to taking away the rights of peaceful individuals. You are the one who wants to send armed men in black suits to non-violent households to take away their guns, you are the one promoting violence. Always remember that.

[ravedown]

poor huffpo folks....all i see lately are overwhelmingly negative comments and responses about what a disappointment obama and the dems have turned out to be. everyday it's a something new. even jon stewart is admitting it on his show. whats the shelf-life on cognitive dissonance? you'd think they'd start to catch on by now. and they're all blaming lobbyists? that's the process you all agreed to and endorsed back in 2008 when you chose not to support an actual honest candidate that wanted to expose the corruption. you got what you wanted, choke on it.

Yeah, but this is different. It's a "wedge" issue (meaning there are well organized lobbies on both sides). There is/was no anti government/bankster corruption lobby.

Edit: Well I guess there's us.

Okay. I've been living under a rock. There's a black republican senator now?

Was very glad to hear this. Hopefully they come back and try to pass more gun legislation before the 2016 election - I'm confident it won't pass but keeps otherwise inactive people jazzed up and fighting for at least one of our rights.

I'm not making any predictions on the 2014 elections but I think we will have stronger results than we would have otherwise because of the pro-2Aers getting a little jolt.
The 2A's may not outnumber the opposition but they're WAY more motivated. (they probably do actually have better numbers, I'm just not sure.).

Okay, so the White House is now facing imminent defeat in the Democratically controlled Senate on legislation the president has staked a huge amount of his political capital. This is the first time I've seen a 90 percent approval issue fail. Combine that with no movement on important judicial and executive branch nominations. So far we've seen a stupid $1 trillion dollar discretionary spending cut we were told was never going to happen, happen. And of course we've witnessed the political mess of the White House winning the worst kind of friends by attacking Social Security and making enemies of damn near everyone else. We're seeing stagnant workforce numbers, with still record numbers leaving the labor force, even more with some of the crappiest jobs imaginable, and even more stuck in the mud with few upside prospects. Not to mention austerity economics coming from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. And as a result, the president's popularity is falling underwater and people still feel the country is careening.

If there's at least one possible glimmer of win on the horizon, perhaps it is on immigration reform, but I'm not hopeful. The House is already talking about breaking up the bill. Considering this White House will always fight for any sort of line they can sign no matter how miniscule, I suspect by the time we get to the end of that process we will have possibly some watered down Dream Act and some extra money for border drones. That's bout it.

This isn't going well, and Democrats are in charge. 2014.

That's what our folks in Washington need to understand. That is going to be the overwhelming assessment we get from the public unless we turn this shit around and at least appear to be fighting for the average person. Because in 2014, nobody is going to give a shit that we didn't change the Senate rules or failed to reform campaign finance or that chess moves are being planned out for 20 years from now. All they're going to know is this shit isn't going well and Democrats are in charge.

[Tod]

It needs to be treason to introduce any legislation that places limitations on the bill of rights. Introduce a bill that limits magazine capacity? Get escorted off the floor in handcuffs to be tried for treason. That would put a stop to this nonsense in a hurry. :mad:

[jtstellar]

if liberals aren't stealing from neighbors, what have they got to worry about? o wait

[leverguy]

They gloat when they win and pout when they don't. Absolutely childish behavior - and that's just the ones in Washington.

Anybody remember "...elections have consequences"? Yeah, it works both ways folks.

And I really didn't appreciate the Pres going on TV to lecture me about good government and the will of the majority. He and his political cronies wouldn't recognize the will of the people if it rose up and smacked them in the back of the head. Only the sympathetic (sycophantic?) media would allow him to go on TV at a moments notice to whine about how he didn't get what he wanted and then scold the American people for being such poopy heads.

But then again, America pretty much has the government that it wants and deserves.

We need a pledge from voters that we will not vote for anyone who voted against the background checks. I pledge that myself now. Let them fear the voter more than the NRA, and things will get done. It is shameful that these 46 senators decided to side with a gun manufacturer lobby organization ( NRA) against the will of the silent majority. They must pay a political price. Mayor Bloomberg, please open your wallet!

There are no adequate words to describe the disgust we feel for these corrupt, sociopathic politicians for the gun-horrors they defend and perpetuate for the money they are paid by the death industry. They are no champions of the Constitution, no noble defenders of freedom, they are low-life bribe-takers, for sale to the highest bidder. Visceral disgust is all they deserve, and in a just world would witness first-hand the gun-horrors they are paid to support.

And on and on it goes. Not to say differing opinions aren't there too.

[jj-]

What you're watching is psychos in action. The bill wouldn't have prevented Adam Lanza's mother from passing the background check and buying the guns. So how is the bill related to justice for the victims? It isn't. They're trying to stir emotions in their fellow crazies and direct their hatred to the people who voted against the bill, whose pictures are posted, hoping that someone will actually commit violence against them.

Nothing but childish propaganda over there. Background checks bill doesn't pass so to them it some how means that there is no justice for those who have been killed by guns, blood is on their hands, right wing/teabagger/christian/bible thumper, collectivism, tears, blah blah blah.

[Root]

I don't know where this 90% figure come from, but I think it doesn't matter anyway.

Just because a majority of the people think something is a good idea (or law) doesn't mean it is, and most certainly doesn't make it constitutional.

[JorgeStevenson]

I was reading that site last night. I think they were under the impression that it was a pretty common sense bill that had a lot of stuff that conservatives would support anyway. Things like mandatory reciprocity for concealed carry permits. So I think there was a big disconnect between what they thought was in the bill and what we thought was in the bill.

[VBRonPaulFan]

THOSE DAMN OBSTRUCTIONIST REPUGS!!!! (even though it is a Dem controlled senate and their leader voted no)

I read that based on the rules, you can't bring a bill to the floor again if you voted with the majority side, so that's why Reid voted no. Probably also so that his ranking will go up in gun rights polls and polls that show how often you split from your party and vote against them.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

This is only 45.

Right. 45 votes against cloture. The 46th vote was Harry Reid, who made his vote a 'no' so that he could bring the legislation back if he wants to.

[Lucille]

So PuffHo's idea of "justice" is punishing the people who didn't do it with "reform" that would do nothing to prevent another shooting spree.

Good. I hate the Huff Post. Most commenters are radically leftist and many are from out of the country like the UK who post their drivel on there too. But yeah, the rabid dogs will keep coming back and try to get something's passed. Several states are doing what the fed's aren't doing right now and confiscating citizens firearms and ammo illegally. I just bide my time and wait because we all know that it took several years the 1st time before we got fed up and said enough was enough. Statist's, GTHO of my way.

Societies are only as strong as the agreements we make to support each other. Most of the government's work recently has been to divide us, designing disagreements for us all to employ against each other.

I won't shed a tear for democracy lost. A man against the world doesn't hold any hope in democracy, but humanity, which democracy is poised to destroy. I don't want 51% of American tards determining my future with the power of law, whether they are R or D.

The number is of no matter. If 90% of Germans approved of sending Jews to concentration camps, the same principle applies - rights are not subject to the whim of majority rule.

"Everyone here knows nothing deters the Grate One, which is sad knowing how desperate the republic is for common sense, Constitutional fealty, and reasoned response. Congratulations on your part in nurturing the collective ignorance via megalomania. Yes, when not mercifully preempted by sporting events, you have been on my station since 2006, failing to produce even a modicum of the ratings produced by a former county commissioner who had no prior radio experience either, but a sharp eye for liberty and freedom, and a respectful ear for the opinion of callers who disagreed with her. Sadly, I never got the same performance from you. Rather than improve with age and experience, you became spoiled and rancid, unfortunately following the role model of others who started out exciting, compelling and entertaining only to swoon at the sound of their own voice or naked body [<Rush reference], blinded by the glare of their paychecks and taking the hysterical blathering of Myrmidons as inspired hosannas. Along with them you succumbed to the delusion of adequacy. It's true. You have your "radio program," about as successful as your "litigation in the Supreme Court," but when your response to an objective programming decision based on vile, prejudiced, uninformed content combined with five years of poor ratings performance is met with adolescent ad hominems, distortions, and incoherent scribblings, your screed has the intellectual depth of a damp sponge.

It's sort of like that Glenn Beck disease, where you're nodding your head agreeing with everything, thinking that they'd be a big Paul support, and then suddenly they turn around and call all Ron Paul supporters terrorists.

It's a disease I like to call: being a shill.

That's pretty much as far as it goes. They love baiting liberty folks and then dropping the ball by not really supporting liberty candidates at all.

He talks about liberty to attract listeners. He knows nothing about liberty and detests anyone who doesn't want to commit their life and fortune to the support of Israel in never ending foreign wars.

I never hear him talking about Israel and I got over 30 videos on my PC since 09. I know he's rude to people, that much is clear. But he's nice to those who call in who aren't stupid either. I listen to all of the stupid callers to come on with their socialist plans and ideas (and sometimes, no ideas at all, no ability to answer even basic questions) and of course, he has a habit of cutting folks off and yelling at them. I wouldn't like that but it's his program. I like both Levin and the Paul's, so I guess I'm just the odd one here.

I never hear him talking about Israel and I got over 30 videos on my PC since 09. I know he's rude to people, that much is clear. But he's nice to those who call in who aren't stupid either. I listen to all of the stupid callers to come on with their socialist plans and ideas (and sometimes, no ideas at all, no ability to answer even basic questions) and of course, he has a habit of cutting folks off and yelling at them. I wouldn't like that but it's his program. I like both Levin and the Paul's, so I guess I'm just the odd one here.

He's overly partial to Israel and the shining city on the hill archetype, but he's one of the few pundits with his head screwed on straight. Granted, there will be legitimate disagreements here & there but he's generally pro-liberty.

His hatred of Ron Paul (and us) comes up when foreign policy becomes an issue, such as during Republican primaries (i.e. when we're actually trying to get someone elected). He's also a fan of the police state, or at least when it's a Republican's idea, like with the Patriot Act. Back in 2008, he was mocking "Ru Paul" and his silly foreign policy of "isolationism," etc. In 2012, he said that if Ron Paul won the GOP nomination, he "would have to write somebody in because Ron Paul’s foreign policy is so antithetical to traditional conservative foreign policy." If the guy wouldn't be willing to vote for Ron Paul against Barack Obama, he's not exactly a reliable ally. ;) Basically, he peddles standard neoconservative claptrap on issues of foreign policy and the national security state. He might play nice and back Rand when he opposes Presidential assassinations of American citizens during a Democratic Presidency, but if this were eight years ago and Rand were opposing Bush for the same policy, Levin would be harping on "national security" like the rest of the neoconservative pundits. The pattern of his words goes, "honey, honey, poison," and there's enough honey that most of his listeners will swallow the poison without protest when the time comes [again].

I wish I could give you a rep for that one, lol.

There should be a star/badge on the bottom left of each post next to the Blog this post button. Not sure if there are limitations placed on newer users though.

Nice job with the Huffpo comments, with Levin he says a lot of nice things but he has spewed some hate towards Ron Paul (foreign policy) and his supporters, so a lot of people here hold that against him. You know Levin, he can be pretty harsh when he talks about people he disagrees with.

poor huffpo folks....all i see lately are overwhelmingly negative comments and responses about what a disappointment obama and the dems have turned out to be. everyday it's a something new. even jon stewart is admitting it on his show. whats the shelf-life on cognitive dissonance? you'd think they'd start to catch on by now. and they're all blaming lobbyists? that's the process you all agreed to and endorsed back in 2008 when you chose not to support an actual honest candidate that wanted to expose the corruption. you got what you wanted, choke on it.

About 6.5-7 years.

For the first 2 years: "It's too early to blame the problems on my guy."

For the next 2 years: "I know he hasn't lived up to his promises, but he's doing what he can now and playing for a second term."

First year of second term: "The supporters of the loser are just too butthurt to let my guy get anything done."

Second year of second term: "Well, he's still better than the other guy."

Third/fourth year of second term: "Hey! Check out this New Guy!"

Feinstein and Boxer aren't there. I think it is 47 though.

My bad. There are currently 45 Republican Senators.
