Anonymous said...: Wow, a strongly worded letter, bet that scares these lawless mad dog gun running thugs of the ATF and DOJ uh?; January 31, 2012 at 8:01 PM
Foothills Firearms said...: "Eric you are a very bad man....and you lied to us and you keep lying to us! Were gonna give you yet another chance to lie to us some more, but we just wanted you to know we think you are a very baaaaaaad man"

Jezzus....these guys ought to be U.N Weapons inspectors in Irans Nuclear program!

What is the frigging point of being a Congressman if you cant haul off and arrest someone you openly admit is gridlocking and lying to congress in a sworn statement? Issa are you listening? Go ahead and have him locked up!
Two things will happen, First he will be pardoned immediately by his buddy Obammy.
Secondly you at the very least will be able to hold your head up high and claim "at least I busted the dirtbag" which will only help during the coming soundbites of this upcoming fixed election! People can't very well claim this transparent president needs to be re-issued since he didn't have any scandals....oh wait a minuet didn't congress jail his AG? Didn't he pardon him? Don't they look suspicious?

Anyway I guess I am just TOO damn cynical to think that ANY thing that happens is going to make a hill of dung difference.

But since we are already saying it won't make a difference Issa......Arrest his ass!; January 31, 2012 at 8:44 PM
Ashrak said...: So is this to draw a formal declaration of Executive Privilege or is this intended to see Holder invoke his own 5th Amendment right?

Either would be a bombshell worthy of me actually saying something nice about Issa. Though I would qualify it by saying "It's about time." ;)

Now I have to ask.....

How can it be that a member of the Majority Party in control of the House "threatens" a sitting Attorney General of the "opposing" party with contempt of Congress and the Speaker of the House is still SILENT?

How can the Old Media dog resist that tempting biscuit? How the heck can Boehner keep skating like this?

BTW, rest well kind Sir and mind that sugar.; January 31, 2012 at 8:59 PM

"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.
