Last Night on Armed American Radio

Exclusive: The Going Rate

And there are other groups that happily accept “cooking the books” because doing so fits in with an agenda they support: the media and the gun-grabbers. That way Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown” can claim 90 percent of the public and most NRA members support registration and confiscation-enabling “background checks,” when results on a recent Washington State ballot measure show it took a relentless, billionaire-backed media campaign to get the measure to pass with under 60 percent of a perennial blue state’s vote.

Police threatening Ferguson Oath Keepers undermining own interests

This is an idea that’s been floating around for years, but it’s starting to spread a bit more, and goes something like this: If we didn't allow white people to have guns, there would be fewer guns to steal, and thus fewer armed criminals, removing the need to arm police and thus reducing the number of minority “victims” they need to shoot.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report warns bell ringers some not to ask for whom it also tolls.

Captain's Log

Not in My Living Room

But, I guess as long as they're expending their energies and resources so ineffectively, we probably ought to encourage more of it, so don't tell them they're being ridiculous. [More]

We're the Only Ones Making Enough

If you and I can do the same thing, I've got no problem with this.

Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists

At least this guy admits ethics standards for unbiased journalism is a myth, and they exist to manipulate people into being ruled, although he doesn't quite say it like that. [More]

Workman give us another example.

We're the Only Ones Exceptionally Noncompetitive Enough

Section 1. Providing Conversion Authority. I find that conditions of good administration (specifically, the need to make the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Department of Justice (ATF), competitive in recruiting high quality special agents by giving the ATF an authority held by other Federal law enforcement agencies) make necessary an exception to the competitive examination rules for appointment to certain positions in the Federal civil service. [More]
Yeah, you see, because it's so competitive and they're so exceptional, why make 'em compete?  Or something...

Because nothing says "high quality" quite like lowering the bar?

Anybody able to shed light on this? Is it anything like giving all the kids trophies, whether they actually win anything or not? Does this one entail self-esteem badges and guns?
