Jman: Not me at all. I’ve kept the “ILC” brand, partly because I know people like that Jeff may visit the blog. Good that you asked

ILC,

It is not a case of “can’t see” so much as a case of refuses to see. The ideologue totally committed to the banality of ideological purity will not see, speak or hear anything that challenges either the dogma or the dear leader. But you already know that.

eeyore – True. All it would take to make all these scandals go away is for Obama to 1) melodramatically say “I didn’t know” in a speech, 2) fire some underlings (designated scapegoats), and 3) quietly give the media some credible assurances that THEY won’t be spied on again.

If Obama did those things, he would still be guilty as sin (because of course he knows!), but the media would resume their preferred role of covering *for* him (as opposed to, you know, covering him) and otherwise ensuring that his many, many, many scandals never get onto the average voter’s radar.

If you play the odds, and care about your family’s welfare, you are far more likely to protect your family from harm, statistically speaking, by refusing to purchase a firearm. That’s not an opinion. That is a fact.

This couldn’t possibly be “ILC” Jeff, could it?

If it is: you’re off your feed, son.

If it isn’t: shake the rocks and sand out of your head, you idiot. What you posted is in fact, NOT FACT, but an emotional diatribe by an overgrown child who’s obviously vewwy, vewwy afwaid of all those scawy guns.

Grow up.

Oops–need new glasses: The article does give numbers after all.
Next question: Are there any discernible patterns in the attacks that might help understand why there has been such a large increase?
Regardless of the nature of the attackers, the right to self defense is non-negotiable. Regardless of what Nanny Bloomberg thinks.

Does this qualify as a spike, statistically speaking? Or does it fall within the expected range of randomness?

There were several reports of the Tea Party and others being targeted but the media called them paranoid and never investigated themselves. The media didn’t take any scandal seriously until the AP got their phone records taken. Suddenly they started to look into things and are outraged. Obama still won’t be blamed as the lower levels have been made as the scapegoats since they never told him anything about the issues.

The most liberal studies of LBGT show them to be 8 percent of the population. Any group that is in such a minority will always be at the mercy of mob rule. Yes, at the moment, the mob seems to agree with you, but what about tomorrow and next year? Minorities that oppose gun ownership strike me as stunningly stupid.

#5 “the sick SOB who shot him to death is Hispanic”…Remember the Trayvon Martin case? George Zimmerman was identified as a “white Hispanic.”

Meanwhile, about one toddler per day has been killed by an unsecured firearm over the past few weeks. But hey, guns are awesome! And if you want to look to an example of before-and-after gun control statistics, check Australia. Inevitably, ewer guns = fewer suicides, fewer murders, far fewer accidental deaths. The odds of actually stopping someone who aims to kill you from doing so by carrying a firearm are infinitismal, and far, far, far, FAR lower than the odds of an innocent child using that same firearm to kill or maim him or herself, or a third party. If you play the odds, and care about your family’s welfare, you are far more likely to protect your family from harm, statistically speaking, by refusing to purchase a firearm. That’s not an opinion. That is a fact.

Nothing scares an athiest more than when they’re facing the end, and have nothing to cling to.

That kind of follows Peter’s Principle of Politics #103: “There are no athiests during an orgasm.”

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Texann, have no fear. Anything openly bad about the implementation of Obamacare will ultimately be delayed until after the election cycle. In fact, if they can pull it off, it will be delayed indefinitely until the Republicans manage to win an election, at which point it’ll be permitted to come crashing down and be their fault.

@The_Livewire (am I saying that right, I’m not a Twitter person), actually an equally geeky homemade D&D reference, no (intentional) relation to SF, and yes, you highlight the differences between what is “Legal,” what is “Right,” and what gives you a chance to be alive at the end of the day.

The correct action depends on the individual: as others said above, some people would prefer to be a criminal, and some people would prefer to be dead. An enlightened society would allow an option where one could be neither.

If a would-be attacker knows that there is a cop on every street corner, he’s going to be much less likely to attack you. That same logic applies if he knows you might be packing. Carrying a gun doesn’t protect you from him nearly as much as having the right to do so. That’s where liberals miss the point.

I really don’t know how people who have no faith in a higher power get through a disaster with their sanity intact.

These things happen. I’m not sure what is so unbelievable about a disaster that would make it impossible to get through for someone who isn’t religious. I’m not saying religious people don’t cope better, but I have no idea.

When it comes to being shot in the back, the phrase “Better Judged by 12 than carried by 6″ comes to mind.

Don’t worry. I’m sure anti-gay speech will be banned in New York soon, if it isn’t already. And whoever is responsible will surely be prosecuted more harshly than someone who commited the same crime against a non-gay person because of the thoughts in his head happened to be homophobic.
