Just saw this commercial on FOX this morning.

 

I thought it was great and it really made me laugh. We need more like this!

 

That IS a good ad! It would be even better if they could move it on to CNN, MSNBC and the networks. Dream on....

 

On the Ed Schultz show! :evil:

Obama calls on Iran to give back downed US drone

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama is pressing his request that Iran return the U.S. surveillance drone captured by the country's armed forces.

 

Obama said he wouldn't comment "on intelligence matters that are classified." But, he said during a White House news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that the U.S. wants the top-secret aircraft back. "We have asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," Obama said.snip

 

Wonder if he said 'pretty please'?

 

Iran has rejected a U.S. request to return a drone that Tehran says it brought down near the Afghan border earlier this month.

 

Iranian Defense Minister, Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, said Tuesday that the aircraft is Iran's property.

 

Also, state-run media quote Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast as saying the surveillance aircraft is a security violation and the U.S. should apologize for the incident.

 

What are the odds Obama will apologize?

The Donald is out:

Donald Trump has backed out of moderating a Republican debate because, he says, he’s still considering running for president as an independent candidate.

 

In a statement on Tuesday, Trump said that GOP candidates are “very concerned” that he will announce an independent candidacy after “The Apprentice” ends, and that they won’t agree to a debate with him unless he rules that out. Which he won’t do.

 

“It is very important to me that the right Republican candidate be chosen to defeat the failed and very destructive Obama Administration, but if that Republican, in my opinion, is not the right candidate, I am not willing to give up my right to run as an Independent candidate,” Trump said in his statement. “Therefore, so that there is no conflict of interest within the Republican Party, I have decided not to be the moderator of the Newsmax debate.”

 

He fired himself...

This was so satisfying, I watched it twice!

 

What I found amazing is that there were several shitheads still moving afterwards. Maybe it’s like when the chicken’s head is cut off…

UPDATE: YouTube yanked Weasel Zippers account. The video will be available at http://apacheclips.com/ but not right away. They are changing servers and have some issues to resolve. I got on the site after a few tries, but it wouldn’t play the video. I’ll keep trying and let you know when you can access it.

UPDATE #2: Ok, I’m viewing it now at:

I had to mute it because they dubbed it with rap. Be patient; it’s worth the wait.

An interesting article from Action America-GUNS The Untold Truth:

 

 

Armed Citizens Make Fewer Mistakes Than Police

 

Don't think that just because the police are trained in the use of firearms that they are less likely to kill an innocent person. A University of Chicago Study revealed that in 1993 approximately 700,000 police killed 330 innocent individuals, while approximately 250,000,000 private citizens only killed 30 innocent people. Do the math. That's a per capita rate for the police, of almost 4000 times higher than the population in general. OK, that is a little misleading. Let's just include the 80,000,000 gun owning citizens. Now the police are down to only a 1200 times higher accidental shooting rate than the gun-owning population in general.

 

That still sounds high. So let's look at it in a different light. According to a study by Newsweek magazine, only 2% of civilian shootings involve an innocent person being shot (not killed). The error rate for police is 11%. What this means is that you are more than 5 times more likely to be accidentally shot by a policeman than by an armed citizen. But, when you consider that citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as do police every year, it means that, per capita, you are more than 11 times more likely to be accidentally shot by a policeman than by an armed citizen. That is as low as I can get that number.

 

This is not meant to be an indictment of the police. In fact, because police often live on the edge, they naturally tend to shoot first and ask questions later. Although they are trained to repress this instinct, it does not always work, as evidenced by the number of innocent people killed by police. Also, since they are generally better marksmen, they tend to kill, rather than wound or totally miss their target.

 

The Kleck study shows that police shoot and kill around 600 criminals each year. Yet the University of Chicago study shows that police killed 330 innocent individuals in 1993. That means that for every two criminals killed by police, one innocent citizen is killed by police. Although I have the greatest respect for the police and how they must respond under pressure, I think that I would much rather trust an armed populace.
