I'm not a frequent reader of the Huffington Post, for obvious reasons, but a recent article by Adam Winkler, a law professor at UCLA, shows a disturbing trend on how the current administration is deflecting the conversation into something that makes it acceptable.

A key quote from the article is here, "Sometimes you have to allow smaller crimes to occur so that you can capture the people behind far bigger crimes. In this case, the government was going after major drug kingpins responsible for an unprecedented wave of violence in Mexico. On this side of the border, the targeted cartels are feeding drugs to American children."

The press is now turning this from a botched program to justify more restrictions on gun purchasing to "we have to take down the bag guys in Mexico so our kids won't get drugs". Outrageous.

The pattern of behavior was clear from the beginning, and the flow of drugs into the US was _NOT_ the objective. I'd daresay that it's very low on Obama's radar, but gun control is very high on his radar.

Please take every opportunity you can to add comments to articles like these that are attempting to deflect the problem: This is part of Obama's gun control initiative in the US. It was done on US soil, funded by Obama out of TARP funds, designed to fabricate evidence to support their agenda, and they not only got caught, but it let two federal agents get murdered with those guns in the process.

Do not let Obama's propaganda machine get traction here.

I like Adam Winkler :) he and Jerry Patterson follow me on Twitter, and both respond to me much more often than Darrel Issa or Jasoninthehouse or Chuck Grassley. do, but I imagine they get more to respond to and are busier.

So what process is "due" before denying right to have a gun? #twem

Federal law allows barring people on terror watch list from flying. Should it also bar same people from buying guns? Weigh in @ #Twem

And our government is helping them do that too. http://www.elpasotimes.com/ci_18608410

Drugs for children. It's part of Obamacare.

Just when you think that the hypocrisy you've heard has been pretty bad, they then out-do themselves. I thought that one of the things from the '60s leftist, liberal culture (the type of folks who are running this administration) was that drugs were "cool" and that everyone should do drugs and "expand your mind". That whatever folks wanted to do as part of their "lifestyle" was A-OK...but NOW, now that they got caught with their hands into the cookie jar, NOW they want to come out and say that drugs are bad? What a load of over-ripe manure! Them folks make me SICK to my stomach. They are the ones who panned "The War On Drugs" when the Republicans and conservatives folks were doing it, but NOW its all about the "children"? Despicable.

This week's Tweminar will ask, should the Prez have "emergency powers" enabling him to do what Constitution might not otherwise allow? #twem




StephenAsbelLaw Stephen Asbel
War Powers Act recognizes President can act in emergency but has reporting requirements. #twem


adamwinkler Adam Winkler
But how far does Emerg Pwrs go? Could Prez repel attack on neighbor? Preemptive strike? Invade Iraq? Torture terrorists? Wiretaps? #twem
