Ashrak said...: Well, there is that "botched" factor again. WTF? Please, Mr. Workman, please don't offer that "out", that "empty suit excuse" to government or media even one more time. Please.

I submit that Issa and Grassley either ARE fools and are becoming angry because that is showing, OR they aren't fools but are definitely being made to look like fools.
(Could it be that maybe there is no black and white there but that the reality is a mix of both?)

If the Second Amendment was being observed, respected, protected and defended, NONE of this scandal would have been possible.

Absent the infringement known as FFL permission slips, absent infringement known as NICS, absent private property and private contracting rights being usurped, absent the ability of executive departments, agencies and bureaus to ignore, bypass and otherwise eliminate multiple enumerated rights with impunity,........

GunWalker could not have been possible. Government would not have been able to create and execute any of this Scandalous and treasonous activity had it been held behind the line of Individual Liberty instead of being able to use those tools of infringement against its own Citizens up to and through at least one Citizen in service, named Brian Terry, being made into an omelete.

The GunWalker Scandal demonstrates unarguably that government infringement upon Individual Liberty is the problem and common sense tells us that more of what causes the problem cannot be the solution to it.

My advice to Chairman Issa -
If September 26th comes and goes without you gaining EVERYTHING you have demanded, then it is time for a Sense of the House Resolution to be introduced and brought to a vote saying quite clearly and directly that the House itself has decided that obstruction into its rightful duties has been and is currently being willfully and intentionally obstructed by the Executive branch of government - with its Commander in Chief being Chiefly and directly responsible for it.

John Boehner, The only thing TRULY stopping GunWalker from being blown wide open, especially regarding the Barry led and media supported cover up of it, is YOU and your refusal to do your job.

When the "pull the troops out of Iraq NOW!" media hyped leftist meme was in full bore, Duncan Hunter, along with the rest of the House, blew it out of the water with nothing more than a Sense of the House Resolution and the forcing of the House Membership to take a direct and accountable vote on it. Just a few straightforward sentences is all it too, oh, and the courage to ACTUALLY put it to a vote.

John Boehner HAS that authority right this minute. And all he is "allowing" is some strongly worded letters that match the United Nations path. Gee, maybe John needs to ask the U.N. for permission like Barry does.........

GunWalker is a deadly and treasonous Scandal not political fodder campaign commercials.; September 22, 2011 at 10:24 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
