I'm surprised you didn't try to tell us that he "mis-spoke".

Some members here simply cannot conceive of there being persons who are moderate in anything at all. On both sides only extremists are recognized. Is there any way that someone like me can say something here which will not lead to at least one personal insult?

Here we have another example of talking to an audience which listens only because they want to hear what is being said. Or, if you will, saying nothing that one does not know in advance that his audience wants to hear. Has anything new been added to the great mass of repetitive chatter?

As a matter of courtesy, I have very carefully avoided using the word "you" in this post.

I am reminded of the time I once observed that I was a member of both the NRA and the ACLU. Some members apparently found that hard to believe. I really believed that the NRA was an organization for hunters and sportsmen. Eventually I too found it hard to believe that I belonged to both organizations. The uncompromising extremism of the NRA, and Wayne LaPierre in particular, as demonstrated and confirmed by his latest speech insulting my intelligence, terminated that joint membership after only one year. The NRA has become, instead, in my opinion, a very profitable and effective lobbyist for gun manufacturers.

Weren't you saying before the election that The One doesn't want to take any of our guns, that those of us saying so were just a bunch of paranoid nut jobs?

If I indeed ever said that now-President Obama did not want to limit the types and numbers of deadly weapons in the hands of the public, VMI77, then I did in that case misspeak. Perhaps you would be kind enough to demonstrate when and where I said such a thing? President Obama's personal views on gun control have been no secret to me and most others since he first entered the political arena.

Similarly, while I may have been tempted at times to use language about "paranoid nut jobs," I think I have restrained myself. If not, please demonstrate when and where I did so, as compared with my use of terminology you and possibly others may have so interpreted it, and I will immediately apologize for using such intemperate and incendiary language.

Well there's this...I really don't feel like going back through all the past threads. I'd let you off on a technicality, but I'm not a liberal judge. On this thread: viewtopic.php?f=94&t=60343&p=741479#p741479

It was said:

Can't speak for my fellow libs, but I'm still here. Still not afraid of my government, or new or reinstated gun laws to surely come or Black Helicopters nor burying my guns in the backyard. Haven't castigated anyone in the past for their fears as I don't care to join the panic and paranoia - to each his own. Whatever is the impact or result of this latest crazy act on gun owners won't happen rapidly and doubt many will be affected, if at all

Now granted, these were not your words, but you responded with "I agree" (hence the technicality).

VMI, my agreeing with the point made by the OP was simply a prediction on my part that I did not think we gun owners had a lot to fear about President Obama's "gun grabbers" and his speeches. Time and again my subtlety bites me.

When the going gets tough in the political arena, Obama backs down. Given his training and experience one would think he would not be such a poor, if not incompetent, negotiator. That was demonstrated in Washington yesterday and today as he gave up the farm on the Dem/Rep negotiations on the "fiscal cliff." He and Biden threw Sen. Harry Reid under a bus yesterday, just as he did Susan Rice when he could not take the heat from Benghazi.

I am not a great fan of Obama. On another recent thread I expressed my frustration and disappointment that I supported him instead of Hillary before the 2008 national election.

edited to add mention of Hillary in last sentence, in hopes of avoiding a misunderstanding

I haven't liked the course of the country for a long time. I'm not a Bush fan like many others on the forum. Neither am I a Bush hater. However, I consider it a fact that Bush initiated a lot of what Obama has continued. This is the visible hypocrisy of modern liberals --what Bush did was outrageous to them, but when Obama does more of it and takes it further all is AOK. I don't think Romney would have changed course, but he may have slowed the ship down to ahead standard. I'm not surprised by anything taking place now, I fully expected all of it. However, all the signals I'm seeing suggest that Obama and the left is going for broke, so unlike you, I don't expect Obama to back down. And it's not just Obama, we have a Congress that has completed abdicated all responsibility.

Obama got a bunch of tax increases pushed through the Senate with no accompanying cuts...and HE'S the one who lost out? I'd laugh if it wasn't so horrible...

How hard would it be to catch this confused individual, John Ramon Cobarruvias, violating the Hatch Act again (as in 1998)? He obviously has compulsive behavior issues, and you know he has continued to violate the law in some shape or form (if not overtly with the blog as in '98).

All of his blog posts, "tweets", etc. are time-stamped. His time logged as a systems analyst at NASA is a matter of public record.

Form OSC-13 is used to report alleged violations of the Hatch Act to the Office of the Special Counsel.

I'm not posting the man's home address or phone number, because even this despicable stain of a man and his innocent family deserve privacy and security.

He should be made an example. The OSC complaint may not go anywhere, but the resulting bureaucratic attention that it generates at NASA could see him terminated, or at the very least "parked" at that desk forever.
