Cass Sunstein And His Internet Mandates

Because you are stupid, Cass Sunstein, Obama’s Regulatory Czar, thinks you don’t know how to use the Internet for reading, gathering information and disseminating it.

Picture this if you will. One day you sit down to your computer and log onto your favorite website. That of course would be the Black Bear Blog. There you find a story about 300 scientists who have gathered in Chicago to discuss the prospects of global cooling, update everyone on the fallout from Climategate and provide the best available science about our changing climate. In the middle of your reading, this annoying bubble keeps popping up trying to tell you that if you go over to the website Climate Debate Daily, you’ll get an opposing view. Read more

Judge Oliver Wanger issued a ruling concerning the Fed’s insistence that water be shut off to citizens in the Central and Southern California area in order to provide enough water for fish, claiming authority under the Endangered Species Act.

Sorry, No Racist Here

I rarely post political stuff on this blog, unless it directly affects hunting and fishing. I believe illegal immigration fits that bill. As many of you know, for a couple of years now, the maps found in the Game and Fish Regulations indicate a “zone” along the border, with a statement that “Homeland security issues along the international border may affect the quality of a person’s hunt”. Following the passage of SB1070, I was deeply offended to be branded a racist for supporting this law. A drastically shorter version of the following editorial is scheduled to appear in Wednesday’s edition of the Arizona Republic (Mesa edition) ~Desert Rat

The Struggle To Define Tea Party Continues

Examine the photo shown below and then tell yourself or anyone near you what you see. Well, what do you see? Do you see a black box or do you see something else? My son told me once that in a writing class he took in college, the professor said a good writer could look at a tree and write endlessly. Is the same true for this black box? Read more

Elena Kagan: “Not Sympathetic” About Second Amendment

Hard core? Elena Kagan, Obama’s pick to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, in a memo to former Justice Thurgood Marshall, wrote: “[The man’s] sole contention is that the District of Columbia’s firearms statutes violate his constitutional right to ‘keep and bear arms,’. I’m not sympathetic.” This in reference to an appeal from a D.C. man convicted of carrying an unregistered pistol. His appeal has to be based on whether there is legal standing not on whether a court clerk doesn’t care about another person’s rights.

However, according to Bloomberg, her comments on District of Columbia v. Heller, were: Read more

Liberty Is Not Yours Or Mine To Give And To Take

One of the most difficult things for a human to do is respect the liberty of others when we have a notion to disapprove. My liberty comes from God. Yours does as well, although you may not recognize that fact. Perhaps you even believe your freedom is bestowed upon you by your government. If so, my prayers go out that someday you will gladly receive your liberties from the Almighty Creator and not some man who thinks he knows better.

But liberty comes with responsibility, the restraint of exploiting our rights over those of others. Read more

Wolf Science: A Political Football

It started in 1987 when Ed Bangs, the Department of Interior and all the wolf-lover environmentalists sold their idea to the American people, specifically those in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, that 30 breeding pairs of wolves and 300 total wolves would be all that was needed to declare wolf recovery a success. It’s now 2010 and some estimates easily put wolf populations in those three states at over 2,000 and Ed Bangs and the same group are telling the same citizens they need more wolves.

An article yesterday in the Jackson Hole News and Guide quotes Bangs as now saying 45 breeding pairs and 450 wolves will “never be threatened”. I guess Bangs doesn’t learn from his first mistake. In 1987, 30 pairs and 300 wolves would easily do the trick, why should anybody believe for one second that his statement today is any more honest than the ones he made 25 years ago?

It’s clear the feds set the rules, we play by their rules and when the rules don’t fit the game they are playing, they change the rules. Bangs admits that the first day on the job for wolf recovery he knew 30 pairs of wolves wouldn’t be enough and we should trust him now when he tells us 45 will never be threatened?

This kind of political manipulation has to end now.

Joey “The Snake” Buttafucco On Iran And Women’s Rights

Our boy Joey tells us about how excited his wife, Carla, was this morning at 6 a.m. when she heard Iran got selected to sit on some commission within the United Nations on women’s rights. That sounds about appropriate and especially that the United States didn’t block the selection. Hmmmmmmm. Go get ‘em Joey!

You Can Cough Up Another $150-$250 A Month For Obama Can’t You?

Ok! So, you know the drill. Everyday you sit down to your computer and check your email. Most everything in it isn’t anything you want. Mixed in with all the other stuff are also many emails that make us angry and that we find outrageous. This is, of course, the intent of those emails. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on one’s perspective, the majority of those emails are bogus. Most believe what they read and don’t bother to do any checking to see if it is the truth.

We’re All Hypocrites!

We can all be hypocritical in some fashion but the blatant stuff is enough to drive a man crazy. How many times have you heard someone excitedly dumping on the Obama Administration because of the growth of government, the loss of rights and the destruction of our capitalistic and free enterprise society? Only to turn around in the next breath and demand that government fix a problem you don’t particularly like.

We can’t cherry pick our freedoms and demand prohibition on everything we don’t approve of.
