This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.

If he knew what "socialism" meant, he might be able to make sense.
Canadian born, now U.S. citizen, Ted Cruz telling us what is wrong with the U.S. Perhaps he should just go back if he's this unhappy. I'd contribute $50 to his return ticket.
Responsible Republicans an oxymoron?

Congress' Calendar for 2013: 239 Days Off
What's the best job on earth? Why, of course, to be a Member of the United States Congress.
This week, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor proudly announced the calendar for the new Congress in 2013. Here's the link. Working days for the entire year total 126, leaving 239 days off. This includes virtually the whole month of August, two weeks around Easter/Passover, not a single five-day work week and (God forbid) no weekends.
Members insist, of course, that they accomplish lots during those recesses -- or "District work periods" as they call them. And Congressional staff members, to their credit, work extremely hard with plenty of late nights and long hours.
For this, Members of Congress receive an annual salary of $174,000 ($223,500 for the Speaker), and, if the past few years are any guide, they will enact no budget, no regular appropriations bills, nor other key legislation. (That is, the House will pass bills that die in the Senate, Senate-passed bills will die in the House, and occasionally they will agree on naming a Post Office if such things still exist in 2014.) They will, however, take plenty of taxpayer-funded "fact finding trips," hold plenty of showboat hearings, and spend much of their time hawking for campaign contributions.
Wonder why public approval of the United States Congress stands at 16.4 percent in recent polls, up from 11 percent last March? Look no further than the calendar!!

Gun s are dangerous
Even in the hands of those professionally trained to handle firearms, there are STILL significant dangers. Allowing untrained people to trade in guns is all the more dangerous.
The difference between liberals and conservatives defined.
Liberals share their love of people, conservatives are consumed by a love of self and possessions.

Political joke
When my wife recently said to me that she heard there were winds of 125 mph with gusts up to 140 mph, I thought she was talking about another storm roaring up the east coast, but no, she was talking about John Boehner's last speech.

Get a shotgun
The producers of this video show people shooting shotguns badly. They want to discredit Joe Biden, but I see this as a testament to the fact that NO guns are a better answer than an AR-15. Note - they only show one person shooting an AR-15 and we have no knowledge of her training or gun knowledge. Not convincing.
Meanwhile there's some humor and a lesson in the video.

You don't have to be a bad guy to shoot someone
The counter-point refuting the NRA creed, "the answer to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," is that even good guys shoot people and become bad guys.

Wife drops gun at McDonald's and shoots husband

Gun in schools. What could possibly go wrong?
Oh right. This:
Carney said a preliminary investigation revealed that Richard Lee Cooper, 47, and wife Barbara Annette Masters, 48, were sitting in the restaurant's dining area when Masters leaned forward and a the gun fell out of her pocket and hit the floor.
The impact with the floor caused the gun to go off, with the bullet striking Cooper in the abdomen, he said.

Hunting season should get to be a doozy
Back when I was a kid, our state allowed for one deer hunting day a year when hunters could shoot doe. This proved troublesome because hunters who seldom hunted would head for the woods on this given day and they would shoot at anything that moved. Accidental shootings of other hunters skyrocketed, and reports in the newspaper of hunters shooting cows, sheep and other farm animals weren't uncommon. My Dad and I usually stayed out of the woods on "doe day."
Just saying that with the proliferation of "assault rifles," meaning even semi-automatic rifles with forward grips and clips with as many as 100 rounds in them, it could be interesting to go do a little deer hunting in the future.

Gun proliferation
The irony involved in the NRA's call for more guns as an answer to the gun problem has always struck me as strange. Sort of like saying the answer to a severe flu outbreak in the U.S. would be giving more people the flu.
More guns in the hands of more people is going to mean more people who shouldn't own guns owning them and there will be that many more opportunities for accidental shootings, armed robberies, murders, suicides, etc. Anyone with even half of a functioning brain should be able to see that. So what does that say about the NRA?
By the way, expect to see lots more stories like the one below...

A thought on the sequester
I'm sorry the sequester happened, but I've thought for a while now that if Republicans got their way with the economy, perhaps more Americans would see the idiocy of the Republican agenda. Only time will tell. Ironically, the states most in favor of slashing the Federal Government are the states that rely on federal spending more than others. Texas and Virginia are going to get hammered. This should be an interesting ride.
And one other point - at least the defense department is taking a proportionate hit. It will be good to see that behemoth cut back to a more reasonable size.

Who owns the guns?
Just think about it for a minute. Think about the vast majority of the people who are screaming about their right to own guns, hoping for no regulation. Think about where they live and what they do with their guns - and if you do think about it, the following post makes more sense.

Gun FAIL VI-----------
CHASKA, MN, 1/28/13: Some sturdy patriot "watered the Tree of Liberty" a few too many times, and freedomed himself in the leg.
EL DORADO HILLS, CA, 2/08/13: Deputies responded to a report of an accidental gunshot wound on Springburn Way in El Dorado Hills. The investigation revealed no criminal intent. Two firearms were taken for safe keeping. Just like Hitler!
LEBANON, OR, 2/10/13: If you were a cop who forgot his gun in the bathroom (yes, it happened again), you'd feel like throwing up, too.
BUFORD, GA, 2/11/13: Waistband ninja shoots himself in the leg at a party.
CLIFTON, CO, 2/13/13: A suicide attempt makes it back into the #GunFAIL list. Man attempts suicide by shooting himself in the chest. But the bullet passes straight out his back ... and hits someone else!
CALUMET CITY, IL, 2/13/13: Responsible gun owner buys a new weapon, and while "playing" with it, shoots her husband in the face & kills him. Because she's a responsible gun owner, she hides the gun and tells cops he was randomly shot by someone else in the back yard of their home and then stumbled inside before collapsing. Freedom!
TOLNA, ND, 2/13/13: Another Responsible Gun Owner has done what no Responsible Gun Owner ever does: cleaning a gun he didn't think was loaded. Patriots: 1; Tyrannical Hands: 0
HENDERSONVILLE, TN, 2/13/13: This guy also cleaned a gun he says he didn't think was loaded. Difference is, he shot his wife in the head and killed her, and is charged with murder now.
MILLVILLE, CA, 2/14/13: We'll make kids safer by teaching them to use guns when they're young. Unless we accidentally shoot them while teaching them, that is.

LUMBERTON, NC, 2/14/13: A 16-year-old and his 14-year-old brother were playing with a shotgun. You know the rest. The older boy didn't make it.

FOREST, MS, 2/14/13: At Home Hardware Center, you'll come for the selection and service, and stay for the random gunshot wounds!
NORTH TONAWANDA, NY, 2/15/13: If I knew you were coming, I'd have shot a cake! Man cleaning his gun sends stray bullet into his neighbor's house, while she was baking a cake. Responsible gun owner that he is, he calls no one, and fails to appear at the door for half an hour after police started knocking.
ANTIOCH, CA, 2/15/13: Another concealed carry ninja gets in a fight, reaches for the gun in his waistband, and shoots himself in the leg.
BAZINE, KS, 2/15/13: Once again, instead of protecting the family, the guns end up killing family members. This time, a young girl.
NEW DURHAM, NH, 2/15/13: World record hunter's foot bagged with a 22-caliber semi-automatic rifle.
ROCK HILL, NC, 2/15/13: Sure, I've read about all the accidents. But I'm pretty smart about my guns. So there's probably no chance this one I want to clean is still loade ... BLAM!
COLLEGE PARK, GA, 2/16/13: Two armed men come to shoot a third man, who takes off running. In the chase, one "bad guy" (presumably!) accidentally (presumably!) shoots the other.
NEW BRAUNFELS, TX, 2/16/13: Want to see my gun? Want to be blood brothers? Want to do both at once? How about I accidentally shoot myself through the hand, and have the blood-covered bullet pass into your gut? Ready? KA-POW!
GRAND JUNCTION, CO, 2/16/13: Man freedoms himself in the head, but tyrannical, jackbooted thug prevents his friend from driving him to the hospital at the speed of his choice!
MILL HALL, PA, 2/16/13: Yeah, man! I totally defended my home and my family with my gun! U-S-A! Wooo! Only bad part was, the guy shot me while trying to grab my 1-year-old sister. But I grabbed my gun and defended my family! By which I mean I shot myself in the arm and lied to the cops. Sorry, America.
NORTHPORT, AL, 2/17/13: Sit at my knee, my young daughter, while I engage in the Act of a Patriot: cleaning my (loaded) gun! One day I hope you'll share in this great tradition! In fact, why wait? You and I can share that bullet I neglected to take out of there. BLAM!
RICHFIELD, UT, 2/17/13: Dang! Flat tire! Well, I know I have a tire iron somewhere in the back seat. That, and a loaded rifle. I'll just rummage about with my hand and see which one I grab. BLAM! Okay, note to self: That was the rifle.
WHITT, TX, 2/17/13: Backyard squirrels: 1; 12-year-old's ankle: 0
UTICA, NY, 2/18/13: This gentleman was on an almost 80-year unbroken streak of never having shot himself in a jacket accident. But alas, it was not to be.
NEW IBERIA, LA, 2/18/13: Witnesses say accident, cops not so sure. But clearly this 6-year-old should have been armed.

TALLAHASSEE, FL, 2/18/13: What? You shot yourself in the leg, too? No way! How could that happen?
DAVIE, FL, 2/18/13: So he was just cleaning my gun, when all of a sudden ... What? You've heard this story before? Well, not from this guy, you haven't.
ST. PETERSBURG, FL, 2/18/13: Okay, this one may just be the world champion of dumb. I can't tell it any better than the newspaper deadpanned it: Walker, 18, told police she went to her friends house and decided to make waffles in the oven when she became hungry. She said she preheated the oven and a few minutes later heard an explosion. That is when she noticed she had bullet fragments in her breast, thighs and knee area. Police interviewed Walker's friend about the gun. According to a police report, the friend told police the Glock 21 was in a drawer and the magazine was placed in the oven with four rounds in it.
STOCKTON, CA, 2/18/13: Dude, I accidentally shot Alex. Let's take him to the Kaiser Permanente building. Maybe they have Band-Aids or something. Oh, man, they're closed! Because it's midnight, I guess. Well, now he's dead.
PONTIAC, MI, 2/18/13: Yawn. Man cleaning gun. Was loaded. Shot self. Yawn.
MCDONOUGH, GA, 2/18/13: Yawn. Man cleaning girlfriend's gun. Was loaded. Shot self. But was convicted felon and therefore prohibited from possessing a weapon, so he goes back to jail. Yawn.
CALLAWAY, FL, 2/19/13: Someone else shot by a 2-year-old, just to switch things up a little.
VALDOSTA, GA, 2/19/13: Responsible gun owner and Air Force Airman decides to clean yet another loaded gun. Only this time, the twist is that he shoots through his apartment wall, across a breezeway, and into a neighbor's apartment. Oh, and also in the neighbor's 14-month-old son's hand. Being a responsible gun owner, he then proceeded to attempt to hide the shell casing from police. He faces reckless conduct charges and possible discipline from the Air Force. The boy may lose a finger. Freedom!
MORAINE, OH, 2/19/13: Yet. Another. Concealed. Carry. Ninja. Shoots. Himself. Lord. Help. Me.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, 2/19/13: Police arrested Kirchelle Fleming, 22, Tuesday after they say she accidentally shot a romantic partner because of his infidelity. According to court records, Fleming shot the 35-year-old man in Algiers because she felt he was making her look foolish by dealing with multiple women. The victim said that Fleming walked up to him, yelled out her concerns and then pulled a purple gun from her bag. Fleming pointed the weapon at the victim's stomach, but didn't shoot, the records said. However, when the victim tried to wrestle the weapon away from Fleming, it accidentally discharged.
ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL, 2/20/13: Concealed carry ninja decides to spin her gun on her finger, point it at her head and pull the trigger. Because cool. And responsible gun owner.
ANDALUSIA, AL, 2/20/13: You idiots who clean loaded guns and shoot yourselves don't know what you're doing with firearms! Let the pros at the gun shop show you how it's done. KA-BLAM!
WILLIAMSBURG, KY, 2/20/13: Fiscally responsible gun owners know that if you're going to accidentally shoot two or more people, you want to do it with one bullet.
GARLAND, TX, 2/20/13: Another 3-year-old tyrant refreshes the Tree of Liberty. RIP, kid.
WALTERBORO, SC, 2/20/13: A 16-year-old and a 12-year-old decided to play with a shotgun. I'll cut right to the chase. The 12-year-old. In the thigh.
SPRING CREEK, NV, 2/20/13: A bad day for kids' thighs, I guess. Here's a 4-year-old "freedomed" in hers.
MILPITAS, CA, 2/21/13: A 26-year-old man shot himself in the foot, but had to make things worse for himself and his family by lying to police about how it happened. Why? Because he's got a criminal record, which means he's prohibited from having a gun. So he and his mom hid the shell casing and the gun, and told cops a detailed story about how he was shot by someone else, instead. Not true, and everybody goes to jail. But mom's been there before, and quite famously as it turns out! She's the woman who claimed in 2005 to have found a severed finger in her Wendy's chili, only it turned out that she'd planted it there. And it wasn't hers, which means she had a supply of severed human fingers. What a fun family!
LUZERNE TOWNSHIP, PA, 2/21/13: Tyrants are getting younger all the time. Here's a 2-year-old shot in the head. No details on just how it happened yet, but I think we can probably all agree that any 2-year-old with a bullet in the head is a #GunFAIL of some kind.

God on Facebook
I was on Facebook not more than 30 minutes ago reading another of those posts some hapless citizen, unhappy with her life and hoping for a better future in another world made,supposedly from God asking you to repost if you believe. I thought to myself, "Self, what a helpless God it is who can't post his own Facebook messages."
