Only in a liberal mind can all the dangers of the world be avoided, but that doesn’t stop them from turning their minds utopia into ridiculous rules to protect the children.

Given the fact that kids are now suspended from school for playing “imaginary games” the liberals deem psychologically dangerous, it should not be a surprise to find the kids are also verbÖtten from climbing on monkey bars the liberals determine too dangerous.

Safety is no longer just the avoidance of running with scissors, or the infamous sticks that can put your eye out; No, now safety and liberal safe-exercise means you must be limited to standing in place and flailing your arms in the existential air while worshipping teh Won. Let’s Mooove…. just not to, well, quickly or something;…. and under no circumstances can you simultaneously think about playing War, or Cowboys and Injuns.  *spit*

(Via Daily Mail) […] Parents had spent months raising $35,000 to  pay for new climbing frame outside Stratford Landing Elementary School, in Fairfax  County, Virginia – and claim they worked with authorities to ensure the site met  required standards.

But before a child could set foot in the playground,  authorities performed a last-minute U-turn and deemed it to be a  hazard.  Bright yellow caution tape now festoons the  apparatus to warn off any children.

The project, which was started by parents,  who raised funds with auctions and cake bakes in a bid to  give the 870  pupils a little more fun during playtime, now looks set to be mired in acrimony  and costly recriminations.  The school’s facilities department insists the  new equipment must be dismantled.

The President Obama White House has three current “priority issues” in the works.   Gun Control, Immigration Reform and Climate Change (energy reform) as current important objectives.

Compare those three to the Priority List of Americans in General.   Where do they fall?

Lots of folks are praising Lindsey Graham for his stance about Benghazi.   However, it is prudent to remember he has been a face of manipulated optical opposition before.  I don’t trust Graham, and this could well be just another decepticon angle to keep the patriots away from the gates as they look back yelling “we got this”.   They don’t want you, me, or anyone, looking over the wall or beyond the gate.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared on CBS News’ Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer on Sunday where he pledged to try to block the nominations of both Chuck Hagel and John Brennan in an effort to get more information about the 2012 attack on an American consulate in Benghazi out of President Barack Obama.

Graham told Schieffer that he thought it was unfortunate that Obama did not place a personal call to officials in the Libyan government on the evening of September 11, 2012, when an American consulate in Libya was overrun by militants. (more…)

Recent movements to require gun owners to carry “liability insurance” are gaining traction.  As this article from Hot Air outlines, the goal is the same..…

(Hot Air)  What to do if the nation fails to fall in line behind new gun grabbing legislation and doesn’t want to put limits on ammo capacity? How about if they rebel against the idea of taxing the heck out of ammo? What if it just seems like there simply isn’t a majority on board with new gun control legislation? Well, if you follow the Obamacare model, you could always consider making extra insurance on weapons technology mandatory.

If you can’t force people to do what you want, force them to buy insurance: That seems to be the strategy of the liberal left in the Obama era. We refer not only to the ObamaCare health-insurance mandate but to the latest bright idea under consideration in mostly Democrat-dominated state capitals. (more…)

Overwhelmed by the charge of the “bitterclingers”…..   Fix Bayonets

Actually, this is nothing more than a typical prog reaction.   Whenever the progs are pushed back by principled patriots they pick up their ball and go home.   Remember the Wisconsin Fleabagging Dems?  etc.

PITTSBURGH PA – Tim Benz, co-host of the Morning Show on alternative rock radio station 105.9 The X, left the air Friday after arguing with listeners about his support of stricter gun laws.

“There was a flare-up about gun control on the show, which included a good deal of flashback against the station,” Benz said. “I wasn’t able to walk away from the fight … (so) I decided to step away from the Morning Show.”

The argument stemmed from a Pittsburgh gun shop’s recent giveaway of hundreds of rounds of ammunition, high-capacity magazines and an AR-15 military-style rifle on its Facebook page. (more…)

(ht WeaselZippers)   The Department of Homeland Security’s civil rights watchdog has concluded that travelers along the nation’s borders may have their electronics seized and the contents of those devices examined for any reason whatsoever — all in the name of national security.

The DHS, which secures the nation’s border, in 2009 announced that it would conduct a “Civil Liberties Impact Assessment” of its suspicionless search-and-seizure policy pertaining to electronic devices “within 120 days.” More than three years later, the DHS office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties published a two-page executive summary of its findings.

You wouldn’t think so…….   and….  we’ve no idea if this is the real LAPD shooter Chris Dorner, but someone who writes just like him is entering comments on the CNN blog news site.

A check of writing styles is highly similar, even to the extent that previous typo errors are duplicated.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/08/us/lapd-attacks/index.html#comment-792990832

Is it him?  Again, you wouldn’t think so, but he does have an affection for CNN.  So you decide.

Buzzfeed presented some pictures of the Superbowl Half-time show you didn’t see.

Bouncy’s publicist got all defrosted and asked them to be removed.

Buzzfeed published the email request.

That’s when the real fun started.  (more…)

Imagine for just a moment what the media would do, or would have done, if, say, Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh had written an open letter of support to….. say,…  Eric Robert Rudolph, while he was on-the-run, professing an “understanding of his feelings of hurt and pain” ?

Seriously.    What do you think the media would have done with such a narrative?

Now,…. consider Jesse Jackson pens an open letter to L.A. Shooter Chris Dorner:

Dear Christopher Dorner,

I understand your feelings of hurt and pain. I make this plea to you to stop spreading the pain, the hurt, and the fear. Please stop. Don’t take any more lives.

Bakewell Sr. (The Los Angeles Sentinel’s Executive Publisher/CEO) ,Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Kenneth Ulmer and Rev. Charles Singleton are all individuals I know personally. I promise that they will gladly receive you.
