The Leader of the Rebellion

Popping up in Boulder, the site of the 3rd GOP debate:

Ted Cruz and the Hunger Games mockingjay.

“The big question for us ‘is the republic actually dead?’ and is Obama just the first caesar?” the anonymous street artist told the site. “The welfare state and the Kardashians are the 21st century version of bread and circuses … Is this a democratic republic, or just a Washington D.C. TV show that is pretending to be one, while the Federal government laughs at the plebes.

The artist also said, “If Cruz is the candidate, we have a chance at restoring the republic.”

I am Sparticus

Not since reading An Army of Davids have I been inspired to believe that there is still a chance for right and reason to prevail in the USA.  Not since yesterday when I ordered the Kindle edition of Vox Day’s SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down The Thought Police.

Seven years of being fundamentally transformed will do that to you.

And before that, eight years of the Bush administration refusing to defend itself against the relentless attack from the Left.  I mean, who can forget watching Alberto Gonzales getting bludgeoned in oversight hearings, or the daily press briefing with Scott McClellan.  They left it up to Right bloggers to engage in the hand to hand combat with the lefties of the MSM and internet as well.

It was hard, thankless work.  Still is, in fact.  Especially when your own party is too afraid of being called “racist, sexist, homophobe, islamophobe” to even put up a modicum of resistance.  And then, when we mount successful stands through the loose confederation of Tea Party alliances, we are undermined by our own supposed allies.  And they wonder why we won’t roll over on the Speaker election!

Who would have thought that the model for victory would be found in the Sci-Fi world, and in their close alliances with video gamers?

“Not I,” said the duck.

My heartfelt advice to you, loyal readers, is to spend 5 bucks and read this book. I finished it this morning, and I’m still in a giddy daze.

I am Sparticus.  I am the Leader of #GamerGate.

Oregon’s Bitter Clingers

Thought for the Day

Do you realize that if the #UCC students in Oregon had not bitterly clung to their religion, they would be alive today?

And yet, these are the very people that our President looks down upon.

“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

There you have it:  Obama says, give up your religion and you get to live.

“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”   Mat 16:26

#ProgressiveProgression

From the Twitters on the Planned parenthood videos,

Any of this sound familiar?

That video doesn’t exist.

It exists, but it’s a hoax.

It’s not a hoax, but it doesn’t show that.

It shows that, but who cares.

Another shooting on October 1st

Ten dead, 7 injured at Umpqua Community College,  Roseburg, Oregon.

I couldn’t help but remember another shooting on October 1st, in Pearl MS.  Stopped by a good guy with a gun. (Originally posted 12/17/12).

UPDATE:  I noticed that Yahoo Search shows the #UCC occuring on 9/30/15. Here is the screengrab:  Just a quick FYI for my fellow conspiracy theorists.

On October 1, 1997 at Pearl High School in Pearl, MS, 16-year-old Luke Woodham killed two students and injured seven others. Before the shooting at began, Woodham stabbed his mother to death in their home as she was about to begin her morning jog. The shootings shocked the country. It was said many times, if this can happen in Pearl, it can happen anywhere. Unfortunately, over the years, this statement has proven to be true.

The shootings at Pearl High School was the first of the modern-day rash of school shootings.

But it could have been much worse. But for the actions of vice-principal Joel Myrick, and the grace of God, it would have been.

The moment Joel Myrick heard shots, he ran to his pickup truck, removed his Colt .45 from its case, removed ammo from another case, loaded his gun and went looking for the killer. He could have confronted Woodham much sooner, but for the fact that Federal law prohibits anyone but a police officer from having a gun in or near a school. “I’ve always kept a gun in the truck just in case something like this ever happened,” said Myrick.

By the time he confronted the Woodham, 2 students were murdered, and 7 others were wounded. Woodham was trying to make his get-away to the nearby Middle School to continue the carnage. Woodham’s lever-action 30-30 is an effective deer rifle. But it takes time to chamber each round, point, aim and fire. Precious time. Time that Joel Myrick could have used to stop the shootings, but for gun laws.

Myrick foiled Woodham’s plan. He saw the killer fleeing and positioned himself. Woodham, seeing the gun pointed at his head, crashed the car. Myrick approached the killer and confronted him. “Here was this monster killing kids in my school, and the minute I put a gun to his head he was a kid again,” Myrick said.

Myrick’s actions stopped the shootings and saved lives. But the MSM doesn’t talk much about him, do they? President Obama says it’s time to have some gun control talk. Well, OK. Let’s just remember to talk about Joel Myrick.
