Monday's fast five

Liberalism summed up in a tiny piece of papyrus.
Some gal scientist discovered a tiny piece of papyrus that has Jesus saying, “my wife.”  No other context such as, “My wife is my church,” or “A man asked me, ‘Who’s that lady?’  That’s no lady.  That’s my wife.” Rim shot.  For libs the debate is now over.  No matter the mountain of evidence to the contrary that Jesus was not married or perhaps in this case the mountain of missing evidence that would surly exist if Jesus were married, dopes are quite happy to hang their hats on a newly discovered slip of papyrus.  It does not matter the dubiousness of the authenticity of the contrary speck of affirmative evidence.  That evidence is all that matters now.

For dopes that piece of papyrus is the like the vote count from Cook County, IL.  When asked how many voters were in the county, a Dope county official once famously answered, that depends on how many we need.  The new papyrus piece is like Liberals counting votes in Chicago or MN with Al Franken’s stolen election, the papyrus counts for and is weighted as much as necessary.

Here’s what Cliven Bundy is fighting for

The red is federally owned land.  How can Nevada even call itself a state?  It appears to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the federal government.  I think Bundy is on to something here.

Rules for cops and warriors are different.  So why dress cops like warriors?
For months Lex has been ranting about law-enforcement agencies and other government bureaucracies (most recent example is the BLM in Nevada) acting as if they were a Marine platoon on patrol in Fallujah. John fund takes on the subject in a more coherent fashion but arrives at the same conclusion.  From his piece:

Radley Balko writes in his 2013 book Rise of the Warrior Cop. “The war on drugs and, more recently, post-9/11 antiterrorism efforts have created a new figure on the U.S. scene: the warrior cop — armed to the teeth, ready to deal harshly with targeted wrongdoers, and a growing threat to familiar American liberties.”

One major problem with these SWAT units is that the unit is like the a new tool a guy buys.  He looks for excuses to use it.  You just can hear the calculus in the chief’s office.  “Well if we expect to get funding for our SWAT unit, we’d better get them out of the barn a bit more often.  Take them over to Elm to help get MRS. O’Leary’s cat down out of the tree.  While you’re there, kick down her door and conduct a warrantless search for drugs and that felon who escaped his work detail last week.”



This isn’t new stuff though.  Remember Elian Gonzales?  Remember Waco?  The ATF could have arrested David Koresh without incident when he went into town unarmed.  Some bone headed AFT idiot insisted on raiding the compound.  At the time, Wayne LaPierre referred to the ATF as “jack-booted government thugs.”  LaPierre was lambasted for that comment.  We probably should have listened way back then and put the breaks on all of these paramilitary government bureaucrats whose ONLY target is the American citizenry.

Michele Fiore for president
Sure would like to see a lot more Republicans act like this during an interview with the Lapdog media.

Useful idiots or traitors?
George Will says Lenin had a name for people like Snowden – “useful idiots.”  I’ve got name too and it applies to Harry the roach Reid as well – traitor.  Until we shoot a few, we will continue to have the problem.
