Notes From HPS
BY Herschel Smith9 years, 4 months ago
David Codrea on Trump on immigration. So I’ll tell you now what I think. He will do an about-face in order to keep all of that cheap Hispanic and Latino labor because business likes it (given that we are supplying corporations with welfare by allowing them to underpay their workers and send them to hospitals as their primary care physician). What he’s saying is well crafted to fool. At any rate, my prediction is that he will disappoint you if you put yourself in his camp.
David Codrea on the threats to military members:
“the brothers don’t need to attack them in military bases or secured buildings. they can now turn up in their houses. in their homes. this is war, what did you expect? u think u can bomb the islamic state and we don’t do nothing back? soon, very soon you will see.”
Bring it. I look forward to putting a .45 230 grain fat boy in your stomach. And your buddies too.
Mike Vanderboegh on the new Pew poll concerning gun control so-called “conservatives” support. Yea, I saw this too, and I’m not sure what to make of it. Either the poll was a well crafted lie because of the way the questions were posed, or a majority of Americans really do support universal background checks and registration. Either way, it doesn’t matter, which is why I hadn’t posted on this. I agree with Mike. Come and get ’em. Are you prepared for civil war?
The surgeon general stands by his comments on guns being a health issue. That’s okay. I think he should stand by what he’s said. I stand by what I said as well.
The problem is that Mr. Murthy isn’t a real doctor. He may have passed his boards, but that doesn’t mean anything. I know a few engineers who passed the engineering boards and who are a hazard to the safety and health of the public because they’re incompetent.
Mr. Murthy hasn’t spent his life like my family physician, diagnosing prostate cancer and high blood pressure, dealing with the health issues men and women face, watching the elderly die in his care, and working a full day at the office only to work until midnight at home because of the obscene Obamacare paperwork (like my doctor does) our totalitarian president has heaped upon him.
I’ve explained what I would do with one of these doctors who ask questions with which they have no business, but that sidesteps the real issue here. The issue is that if Mr. Murthy was a real doctor he would treat patients and sit by their bedside as they pass away, find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, or some form of cancer.
Mr. Murthy is just another collectivist who looks exactly like the one who nominated him. We know his stripe, we’ve seen a thousand just like him in this administration. In the end it doesn’t matter what post he holds or doesn’t hold. He will pass from the world having done no good for mankind, in spite of the title “doctor.” He will not weep over patients, he will not cure disease, he will not pray over their suffering. He has sold his soul.
He’s just a little boy. Nothing more.
Via Uncle, switching calibers. Dude. I don’t care what caliber you shoot. Learn to hold the gun the right way and lock those elbows. And just to think, I’m not even a SWAT member and know this!

RE: “Dr.” Vivek Murthy — He’s not a doctor; he’s a career politician who happens to have a M.D. Just like his boss, he’s never held a real job in his life. His professional medical experience is precisely zero.
I wouldn’t let him administer a health engagement survey. I’m certainly not going to let him dictate what or how many guns I’m allowed to own.
RE: That Pew poll — I haven’t had a chance to look into it, but I’d be willing to bet they’re stretching (to say the least). It depends on how the questions are worded and how the results are interpreted. For example, “Would you support a law that will keep violent criminals and the dangerously mentally-ill from purchasing guns?” Well, sure, if you can come up with one that: a) accurately identifies them, with zero false-positives; b) provides proper due-process protections for those people, including disability relief if/when they’re rehabilitated; and c) wouldn’t also inhibit my ability to purchase guns; I’d support it — but they may as well be asking if I’d support a unicorn for president or a blue-collar-affordable zero-emission vehicle; there’s no such thing and they know it. But now they can say I support enhanced “gun control” laws.
I’ve also seen polls claim that a majority “support” a position, when the raw numbers merely show a majority “don’t oppose” that position. There’s a subtle difference that gets (intentionally?) lost in the translation.
Lest people think I’m being unfair, our side does that, too. When gun-related polls come out showing (making up numbers here) 25% want stronger gun laws, 25% want weaker gun laws, 45% think the laws are fine as-is, and 5% are unsure, with a margin of error of +/- 5%, we spin that as a majority win for us: “3 in 4 oppose strengthening gun laws”. The reality is neither side has a majority, and it could just as easily be spun the other way.

Yeah…remember Obozo says he is a Constitutinal Professor as well.

Glad the gun poll was from Pew…because my guess is their methodology stinks to high heaven.
Anyway….Molon Labe!
