Hillary in Hiding

American Thinker

For  once, I am inclined to believe Hillary Clinton. The U.S. Secretary of State,  suffering from a sick stomach, has reportedly fainted and bumped her head. As a result, her  spokespeople have already announced that she will be unable to testify at the  Benghazi hearings, although she was not due to appear until December 20, many  days after the vaguely reported fainting spell.

Already,  the internet is resounding with a chorus of “How convenient!” (See here and here, for example.) Many, upon hearing this news, are  assuming that Clinton, who has been hedging for a month on whether to appear at  the congressional hearings, has concocted yet another excuse to avoid facing the  music on a scandal which, if pursued with integrity, would likely end her  political career, to put it mildly.

Stampeding Gun Control Through Crisis

Gulag Bound

Never let a crisis go to waste – especially when it is an opportunity to abridge our Constitutional rights. This week, a sociopath went on a killing spree in Newtown, Connecticut. A 20-something-year-old whackadoo slaughtered 20 First Graders and 6 adults, before blowing his own brains out. The loss of those little angels and the heroes who died protecting them is unimaginable. But the spilled blood had not even dried when the Left started screaming for gun control. Bloomberg and others instantly screamed for massive gun control. Clamors to change the Second Amendment, to invoke an Executive Order and even to kill the leaders of the NRA abound. No one ever points out that the vast majority of these deviants are on meds and under a psychiatrist’s care.

I am appalled. Yes, I am appalled that a monster killed children and teachers, but I am more appalled that the first response from the professional control freaks — the political animals across the nation — is to initiate the long-planned campaign to stampede Americans into surrendering their rights, to disarm all the people who didn’t murder anyone, and — most importantly — to eliminate the ability of the citizens to defend themselves from a whole spectrum of evils ranging from common bad guys to government tyranny.
