Lerner

The IRS scandal is getting traction.

Rep. Gowdy on Gretta:



Lois supposedly wanted to go work for Obama's young pioneers, Organizing for Action.  Comrade Diann responds at ATRS:

Today's Drudge:

Lois Lerner should be in her third jailhouse relationship by now.  She committed crimes in her role at the IRS, and it is another crime against Americans that she is still walking among us.

UPDATED 4.10 1pm:

NiceDeb is following the action on the Hill and has posted two videos so far.

And Then They Came For the Cows

And then they came for the cows.

But I had no cows.

So I did nothing.

Let me offer a suggestion as to why there are 200 armed agents harassing a rancher in Nevada:  our dear leader has not had the blood necessary to execute his Crisis-As-A-Means strategy to disarm, then overthrow, America.

Crisis-As-A-Means is how it is done.  Lenin had WWI.  He negotiated out of it (poorly) in order to bring the troops home... to fight the internal enemies in a civil war.  Stalin needed an enemy to start his terror, so he manufactured a terrorist hit on one of his top leaders (who was getting a bit uppity btw), Kirov. Putin is rumored to have blown up an apartment building in Moscow prior to his early election to President, as he was the preferred candidate to get tough on the Chechens.  These three examples, and there are many others, led to massive death.

Obama has had more blood than most.  The Aurora theater shooting, Sandy Hook, Ft. Hood I, Ft. Hood II, etc.  His disarmament efforts have failed for two reasons: 1) the Constitution, while in tatters, still reigns, and 2) Obama's massive communist inspirations do not match his inferior abilities.  It is not just us on the right who say America elected an incompetent as president.

But time is still on his side.  It is quite depressing to think what he has already accomplished, although most among us are still fooled.

What I'm about to say will anger some of my like-minded comrades.  Until I hear differently, this is my opinion.

The Bundy rancher story is smack dab in the gray zone.  It is not black nor white.

Like Ruby Ridge and Waco, the rancher is surrounded by agents itching for gun play promotions.  (The agents at both Ruby Ridge, where an unarmed mother holding her infant was shot by a FBI sniper, and at Waco where 19 children were burned alive in order to stop their rumored sexual abuse, were all retained and many were promoted.)

But that is where the comparisons end.

The ranchers were denied the use of BLM land after having had permission to use it.  Long ago.  They didn't stop using it.  This has been going on for many years, including during the Bush years, and the ranchers have forced the government's hand.  Yes, the government chose to escalate to today's armed standoff, and the escalation could lead to the loss of human life.

If it were my land, I'd escalate.  I expect a government "of the people," however, to show more discretion. More restraint.  More respect for life.  I agree, this government is not "of the people."

I humbly bow to those who are in the area to disrupt this government action.  "Dissent is patriotic," we were recently told.  That rule still applies.  My suggestion for that First Amendment Area (seen above with rancher Cliven Bundy) is to stage harassing drone activity.  Visit those sniper teams with camera-fitted drones so America can see the future.

Those are my thoughts at the moment with the information I've seen.

Here are links to Ushanka comrades, agreeing and disagreeing:

Ann Barnhardt shares her warning.

Western Rifle shares many links.

Sipsey Street critizes the NV governor.

III Percent links to the ranchers' website for their side.

Mr. B. asks if you will stand down as you (we) did at Ruby Ridge and Waco.  He reminds us here that this is all about control.

Thanks for the links back!  Western Rifle and III Percent Patriots.  Both have more recent posts on this story.

In keeping with posting the opinions of others, here is ten minutes of Stefan Molyneux, another foreigner who seems to be more aware of the problems here in the US than most Americans:

Farewell, Red Coat

An excellent farewell to Piers Morgan, found at 90 Miles:



I've grown up around guns and enjoy many shooting sports.  I can't imagine life without my God-given right to bear arms.

I've documented here at Ushanka two distinct trends since our dear leader was first elected in 2008:

1) We've won nearly every gun-rights battle, and
2) America's gun owners are more energized, and more dedicated to the coming battles, than ever before.

I give a hearty Ushanka Tip to the editor of this video clip.

Outrage? AWOL

You and I get caught up in the daily grind of watching what the Liberals Progressives Communists are doing.  We're mad, but we continue to ride it out on Obama's slippery slope.

Where is the outrage?

ObamaCare won't have Death Panels, then it does.  We whimper.  ObamaCare won't subsidize abortions.  Then we're hit with a $1/month by the IRS specifically for abortion.  Refuse to pay and you'll see the business end of an IRS gun.  Stimulus will create jobs.  It didn't.  Oh well, just another Trillion.

Where is the outrage?

It is there.  We meet at Tea Parties.  Nobody buses there, we arrive on our own.  We carry the flag because we have an emotional attachment to the same dream our founders had.  That American dream that is diluted, ignored, and mortgaged.

Where is the outrage?

The media is part of the conspiracy to "transform America" into a European socialist state.  Because that system works, apparently.  When it fails, we'll hear how we need to 'struggle' further.  "Embrace the consciousness of the proletariat" we'll be told.  Just read any of the books in my Library list to the left to see where we are headed.

Where is the outrage?

Some more recent examples:

MoonBattery: A CEO loses his job because he supports marriage between a man and a woman.

MoonBattery: Prop 8 is overturned by a judge.

MoonBattery: A judge releases the names of Zimmerman jurors.

FRC: Sportscaster fired for his Christian beliefs.

Foundry: Duck Dynasty.

NRO: NM Supreme Court forces photographer to work at gay marriage.

Christian News: Baker faces discrimination for declining gay wedding cake.

USA Today: Chick-Fil-A.

And coming soon to an IRA or 401k near you (ZH), a "Bail In" where you get volunteered to save your country:




Did you know Poland confiscated retirement savings last year?

You can also see a list of ACTIONS taken by those-more-equal-than-us at Obama's Checklist - a list we maintain. 

You can also click the "Slippery Slope" link below to see other Slippery Slope posts.  We are keeping track regardless of the public outcry, or lack thereof.

So, any ideas on if or when we'll see the outrage?  

Book Recommendation: Nixon's Guide

Captain Capitalism recommended his friend's book, Richard Nixon's Guide to the Multiverse, in a couple of his most recent podcasts.  He said it was "very funny" and suggested it as another great way to Enjoy the Decline.

As usual, he was right.

I wouldn't be surprised if author Martin Andrade had gone mad while writing this book.  While the sentence structure within follows the long adopted rules of the English language, the story follows no rules whatsoever.

I'd write a review, but it would be a spoiler.  Just pick up a copy (<$1 on kindle) and start reading - assuming you like to be entertained. 

You'll learn the true story of the Titanic's demise, the commodity that trumps gold after the Apocalypse, and what really goes on in the back of Walmart stores.

Davis?

Davis Aurini - author, comrade, blogger, hat evangelist, and one of Manosphere's finest - is a cat person? Same suit.  Same chair.  Same bald head.  Yep - that's him!

Well, he is single.

No doubt Davis commanded "Kitties Pose!" in perfect baritone diction, right before this photo was taken.

Actual: Animal trainer Captain Jack Bonavita in 1905.

More Links Than I Can Shake a Hammer or Sickle At

For our Comrades with too much time on their hands...

Comrade and hat owner Aaron Clarey has a great video discussing fear.  Give it a try.  (He mentions this Band of Brothers clip.)

Protein Wisdom responds to this NYT article that asks the moronic question: Was Marx Right? and suggests:

Hire a voodoo priestess and have her read the bones of the hundreds of millions who have been killed by regimes intent on bringing us to Nirvana through the various attempts at implementing socialism and radical egalitarianism.  They’re easy enough to find, after all.  Just go find the countries who have followed Marxism in the past and look for the mass graves.

Comrade and hat owner Donald Joy reminds us that there were a total of three Fort Hood shooters.  He links to this Daniel Pipes piece about the shooter who was stopped before he could act - Nasser Abdo.

American Digest has posted quite a few Lenin quotes.  Almost 100 years old and still many are still uttered today.

The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation. 

You probably have seen this video of the pink-haired proletariat explaining why work is beneath her.  The conversation between her and her mom - at the end - is priceless.

WZ gives us a glimpse of what is coming to America:

Hippies and Flags

They don't go together.

Hat owner and comrade Donald shares this Pat Dollard post - a video of a Marine and buddy taking a flag away from hippies.

Nice job men.  But you forgot one thing...

Don't worry.  

Hippies don't feel pain like we do.

Today's video reminded us of this Rick Monday save at Wrigley Field:

Back when there was a reason to go to Wrigley...

 Everyone knows that PEACE immediately follows a good thumping.  See 1945 Germany and Japan.

Maybe, someday, the Democrat Party will make an effort to stop hippies from criticizing the greatest country in the history of the planet.

 "Perhaps."
