Urban Poverty Law Center: Congressional Oversight? We Don't Need No Stinking Congressional Oversight!

The more you look under the rug at what our governmental bureaus are up to, the more obvious it becomes that no one is in charge and congressional oversight is a joke!

This, after learning BATFnE, The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, had another slip shod undercover sting operation in Milwaukee come to light, loosely called "Operation Fearless".
There, they set up a trading company which was to buy and sell chop shop items and drug paraphernalia and deal in illegal guns off the street.  All this to catch a few criminals.

Congress got wind of the operation after "the business" had $35,000 worth of items stolen and at least one hand gun and a machine gun stolen by criminals who outsmarted our best minds on the BATFnE.
I suspect the truth is more like a huge number of guns were lost to the criminal element in Milwaukee and the cover-up will become the real story.

To Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein, a machine gun is fully automatic, you squeeze the trigger and the gun shoots rapidly towards what it is pointed at, but problem is most machine guns, especially the earlier ones pushed off target through the recoil process making them great for burning through ammunition, but lousy for striking a target.

A sniper rifle is a thousand times better weapon if your intention is to hit a target.   But the machine gun is great for keeping the bad guys feeling for their heads and ducking for cover when the brrrrprattt of the machine gun is heard as well as a very popular screech point for professional political scare nannies like Ms. Pelosi and Mlle. Feinstein.

Congress wants to learn from the BATFnE if the stolen guns had trigger locks as required by law, and did the thieves have background checks before taking the guns from an unlocked car out front of the business.

The BATFnE has not returned congress' calls or answered its letters about "Operation Feckless" and as an observer of the cat and mouse games the alphabet soup bureaus play with the oversight committees in congress, I feel certain this congress will be ignored because the bureaucrats who head these departments are permanent and congress is temporary.

And the real power lies in the entrenched bureaucrat.  This must change.

My advice to our congress is to demand a response or stop funding until you get a response.
Time to turn up the heat.  You get no respect because you appear to be part of the Paper Tiger the US Government has become.  If a division like BATFnE refuses to testify, defund them.  Send them packing like Reagan did the air traffic controllers.  Hire a new bunch to take over.

I might suggest you ask the National Rifle Association to subcontract out the necessary work that the BATFnE does in firearms, and the National Brewers Association take over the Alcohol police work, and the RJ Reynolds company to keep tobacco in check.  Could it get any worse?

It may be time to shake up the departments that do not cotton to congressional oversight.  And who knows we might just save some money in the process.

Urban Poverty Law Center: Fast and Furious Plan Is Treason!

"We cannot complete the total domination/subjugation of the American people unless we can disarm them." Stalin, circa 1944, Mao circa 1960, Bill Clinton, circa 1992, Barack Obama, circa 2010

And thus it began with Obama and Eric Holder, and the recently released top man at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, sitting around a table when they set about a plan to demonize guns and overturn the second amendment to the constitution of the United States of America.

"Hey, let's say we sell a bunch of AR-15 or their equivalents to bad guys on the Mexican Border and look the other way when they are taken across and used in the Mexican Drug Cartel violence. I would much rather be shot with a high velocity weapon as have my head carved off at the nape of the neck by a Mexican druggist with grade 4 malignant halitosis using a dull bowie knife. Then we could become all incensed and say we just have to do something about these guns and get a ban worked through congress!"

Apparently this is what Obama, Holder and the unnamed former head of BATFnE did and as the saying goes: with
all the best laid plans of mice and men, something went terribly wrong.

A border agent for the US was killed with one of the weapons sold in the Obama/Holder/BATFnE's Fast and Furious Gun Running Scandal, and then someone who knew of the plan who was a constitutionalists spilled the beans on these plans and now the news of Fast and Furious is making us worry about what other underhanded plans have been put in place by this miscreant and criminal enterprise, the Obama administration. The Wall Street Protests? Anybody?

Can we trust these people with the reigns of power in government? They have brought criminality to our highest branches of government. Who is watching those who seem to believe they are above the law? Is it too late to stop the hemorrhage?

Eric Holder drops charges against the New Black Panthers who intimidated elderly whites who came to their polling place in Philadelphia by being 6'5" dressed in army fatigues and waving billet clubs around and screaming racial slurs at them. Even I could not vote for John McCain if I had to fight a schizoid oversize black man with a billet club and halitosis to do so. Granny showed exceptionally good judgement in tottering back to her car and foregoing the vote. Pick your fights carefully in life.

I see Eric Holder's point. Since they did not actually physically assault these blue haired oldsters, Holder thought there was no foul. Disgusting! Eric Holder is a thug.

Now, Eric Holder has been caught lying to congress about when he knew of the Fast and Spurious gun running plan, and this could get his panties in a bunch. There are still a few members in congress that take the rule of law seriously. Recall Eric, the congress in no longer in the clutches of Nannie Pelosi and Brawny Frank! These republicans will not run cover for you this time. This will be your Humpty-Dumpty moment. Resign now!

There will be no help from the fourth estate, the press, which has fallen on its sword for this bunch of flim-flam artists lead by that community organizer extraordinaire, BHO!

With Sarah Palin out of the running for president, the tea party will have its work cut out for it. I personally do not blame her for not wanting to run the gauntlet of smears her run would entail. She may have made the determination that the nation is too steeped in political corruption to ever make it back.

I am hopeful that something will be left for those who still play by the rules. At least we still have our guns, for now.

Well, in this game of cat and mouse, the cat was caught crapping out of the litter box. Eric Holder must step down if it can be shown he was the father of Fast and Furious.

What a dope!

Hey, I gotta an idea, why don't our leaders do the right thing for a change and not screw around with our constitution. The planning and execution of ways to get the second amendment overturned is treasonous and should be punishable by death. If we had any real men left there would be a few on the way to the gallows.

I know the liberals say that the death penalty does not reduce crime, but it definitely reduces the number if criminals.

Bring back the death penalty for treason! Then we could all sleep a little better.
