Wow! I made these for dinner last night and they were incredible! Simple, delicious, fast and healthy. The recipe comes from Real Simple magazine (June/July 2004), and I made it as written except that after pulverizing the bread (I used whole wheat since we don't "do" white bread in my house), I just added all the other ingredients to the food processor, too. This made it extremely simple. I am sure the fish was ground up more than the recipe intended, but we liked it that way. I cooked this in an indoor George Foreman-type grill, and they took about 6-7 minutes. The magazine suggests serving this on a bun and topping the patty with traditional cole slaw and dressing, but we had them as-is with some seafood sauce (and some steamed asparagus, a salad, and a Frozen Malibu Sunshine drink -- which I also just posted the recipe for). It would work equally well with any of your favorite condiments, and I think it would be awesome over some greens with a citrus vinaigrette or ranch dressing! I plan to make these a lot!!!

Our own Berridales?
By Zubeida Mustafa
DEMOCRACY is a misunderstood term that has been overused in the discourse surrounding the ongoing political drama in Islamabad.
There have been repeated references to democracy and human rights by the dharna leaders and legislators in parliament, which have only increased myths about these political concepts. No one speaks about the empowerment of the people which should be the aim of democracy — to enable citizens to help themselves and win their rights. This idea appears alien to Pakistan. People's empowerment is possible without actually bringing about a revolution.
Thousands of miles away from home, I find business to be as usual in Glasgow, a city at present in the grip of Scotland's independence referendum debate. For me this was an opportunity to observe the Scottish way of life. Last Saturday, courtesy Irene, to whom I had been introduced earlier, I spent some time at the 'Open Day' of the Berridale Allotments and Gardens which is a project that can be emulated by us with due indigenisation to empower urban women.

Helping oneself
By Zubeida Mustafa
LAST week was World Humanitarian Day. It came as a simple reminder that the world is not a welcoming place any longer for a large number of people in countries beset with crises. Conditions have deteriorated to such an extent globally that the need for humanitarian help has been growing. Yet, at the same time, brutality against aid workers is also on the rise making them more vulnerable. In 2013 alone, 155 aid workers were killed and 134 kidnapped.
Why this need for humanitarian aid? The fact is that frequent emergencies are being created due to ever-increasing conflict and also natural disasters — many of them manmade — such as floods and droughts. Pakistan has experienced these in abundance in recent times. We seem to be living from crisis to crisis. Such an abnormal pattern of existence pre-empts economic and social development and growth while whatever progress had been achieved in the preceding period has been undone. Continue reading

Rules of the game
By Zubeida Mustafa
It was quite an extraordinary way of celebrating the 67th anniversary of Pakistan's independence last week. Believing that they could usher in freedom/revolution by bringing their supporters out on the street, Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri succeeded only in creating polarisation and instability in a crisis-ridden country.
The two marches organised by these leaders have evoked strong reactions from political observers. A large segment of pro-democracy opinion views this show of force as an extra-parliamentary move by the opposition that could derail the democratic process and open the door for military intervention. There have also been allegations of collusion between the agitators and elements in the military. Others have defended the people's right to protest against government excesses. The speculation of regime change has been intertwined with an ongoing discourse on the military-civilian role in politics. Continue reading

A friend of 50 years
By Zubeida A.Dossal
This article is my loving and fond tribute to Anita — Anita whom I was honoured and privileged to have as a friend for more than fifty years. She was indeed a friend in every sense of the word — loving, appreciative, caring and ever so helpful. Her many gifts of head and heart have helped many a person and friend. She made happy things happier and sad ones a little less so by her sympathy and her sharing and care, which she did so gracefully.
What I enjoyed was her joie de vivre, which she passed on to those around her. Here I recall my first meeting with my friend. Very vivid till today (50+ years later) is my meeting or rather my first view of Anita Ghulamali.
I was then the headmistress of the SMB Fatema Jinnah School and had been asked by Mrs Zaibunissa Hamidullah the editor and owner of the Mirror, to interview Anita Ghulamali. I did not know her, but rang her up to request an interview. I told her I was new to Karachi and did not know the roads very well and might be a little early or late. Continue reading

Legacy unbounded
By Zubeida Mustafa
Do icons really pass away? They can't, because being iconic makes them immortal in the public collective consciousness. And it is an icon that Anita Ghulamali had become. What made her so outstanding was her will to take on the most powerful enemies of education in Pakistan.
Her constituency comprised the common people. Her battles were fought for them and the only battle she lost was with death on Aug 8. The outpouring of admiration and affection for her that has followed testifies to her sincerity.
She is being eulogised most for her contribution to education and rightly so. But the difference she made to this key social sector has yet to make an impact. I am confident her ideas will prevail, though it may take time. In education the decay begins insidiously and reform is a long-drawn process that spans generations. Continue reading

A mini Pakistan
By Zubeida Mustafa
Ten years ago when I decided to downshift and move into an apartment from an independent house, I was warned by a friend that I should think twice about the change. She said every apartment dweller she knew was constantly complaining of the difficulties caused by the non-cooperation of residents.
I didn't heed her advice as I thought Karachi living had its problems, whether one's abode was a mansion, a townhouse, or a flat in a complex. One had to figure out how to cope.
In retrospect, I feel apartment-living was the microcosm of life in Pakistan — and full of pitfalls. When I moved in, I was in a state of bliss. Having experienced two armed robberies in my home — when living in an independent house — I felt secure after a long time. The flat was bright and airy and had a view of the sea. Continue reading

The veil face-off
By Zubeida Mustafa
TO veil or not to veil, that is the question. And that continues to be asked in Europe where France, Belgium, Spain and Italy have imposed a ban on the niqab in public places. The niqab shrouds the entire face and leaves small slits for the eyes. The ban does not apply to the more ubiquitous hijab, a head scarf that leaves the face fully exposed. No country has so far restricted the hijab.
The latest to pronounce a verdict on this controversial item of the female apparel is the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg where a French woman SAS (identity not disclosed) of Pakistani origin filed a case against the French law forbidding the use of the full-face veil in public places. SAS claimed that the law violated her "freedom of religion and expression". Continue reading

Our own insecurity
By Zubeida Mustafa
THE 2014 global attitudes project of the Washington-based Pew Research Centre has been widely cited to show that a majority of people in Pakistan do not look upon the Taliban favourably. According to Pew's finding, 59pc of those questioned felt negatively vis-à-vis the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Last year, when a similar survey was held this number was slightly lower, with 56pc expressing disapproval of the militants who have no qualms about blowing up people, including women and children, in brutal acts of terrorism. Yet 66pc said they were concerned about religious extremism. It seems many of the respondents did not regard the TTP to be extremists, which speaks volumes for public perceptions in Pakistan.

No standards set
By Zubeida Mustafa
THE health sector should be of concern to all — even to those who go to the best private medical practitioners. Disease transcends borders, and strikes the rich and poor alike, though the latter are more vulnerable. Besides, health issues affect the country's international status as was demonstrated by the polio emergency that led to the imposition of new conditions on Pakistanis embarking on foreign travel.
Hence should not the concerned citizens be involved in what can be termed the regulation of the medical system as they are reaching out in the education sector? Not just altruism or civic responsibility but also narrow self-interest should prompt the intelligentsia to take more interest in the healthcare delivery system. Continue reading

A cry for help
By Zubeida Mustafa
WITH the Pakistan Army's attack on the militants in North Waziristan, a human tragedy of gargantuan proportions has been unfolded. Unsurprisingly, the government failed to anticipate the consequences of this move and did not act in time to avert a catastrophe. It has only compounded the crisis the country faces.
The latest avoidable disaster to visit us is that of the internally displaced people or IDPs — the hapless victims of Operation Zarb-i-Azb — who have been forced to leave their homes in North Waziristan. This was inevitable if Pakistan is to be saved from our self-created Frankenstein that was intended to provide the country with the questionable advantage of strategic depth. The crackdown has come, belatedly though, with no preparations for the aftermath.
As a result we have the suffering of nearly 450,000 IDPs on our conscience. This phenomenon could have been anticipated. It just required greater sensitivity from those whose responsibility it is under international humanitarian law — specifically the Geneva Convention IV, 1949 — to protect the rights of civilians displaced by hostilities in war-affected areas. Under this convention one doesn't even have to cross an international boundary to become an IDP. And 75pc of those who have fled their homes are women and children. Continue reading

OSWEGO COUNTY, N.Y. -- An electrical grid disturbance forced the shutdown of Nine Mile 1 Monday night.
Constellation Energy says a lighting pole fell onto an electrical component. The reactor automatically shutdown because it couldn't transmit power.
Owners say that Nine Mile 1 will go back online when repairs are made to the grid. Unit 2 has been running at full power during the interruption.

Fan-filmed video footage of MESHUGGAH's July 10, 2007 concert at the Rock Café in Prague, Czech Republic has been posted at YouTube.MESHUGGAH will team up with THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN for a European tour in November. Revolver magazine (web site) reported in January that MESHUGGAH is returning on its next album to the pummeling double bass drums and angular riffage that defined their early material to sculpt what they say will be their most savage, eclectic offering yet. "We've got some fast, intense songs and hectic, heavy stuff that draws from all the things we've done in the past," said drummer Tomas Haake. "It's so great to actually be playing drums again." The band members started writing last August and are said to be working on more than a dozen new tunes. To some extent, the tone of the music was motivated by the four months MESHUGGAH spent last year rerecording guitars for the Halloween re-release of their 2002 album, "Nothing". "It was great to revisit that super-heavy stuff," Haake told Revolver. "While we were doing it, we found new ways of playing guitar that give the music a really scary tone. That's going to make this record sound more brutal."

For most village residents the Eastern-most quadrant of Farmingdale, across the Rt. 110 border, offers little more than just the Multiplex Cinema, Republic Airport, the Long Island National Cemetery, Dave &
Busters, and Adventureland. However, plans for a potential 10-15 year transit-oriented development project, centered around the former LIRR train station, could mean more business, housing and green space for the residents of East Farmingdale.
Located within the boundaries of the Town of Babylon, the East Farmingdale transit-oriented development project has historically received the support of Farmingdale village officials, including former Mayor
"Butch" Starkie who had been an advocate for the development along the East Farmingdale corridor.
The world is an open book for Sarina Turbendian, a Farmingdale State College Class of 2014 graduate and village resident.
During the commencement ceremony at Hofstra University last May — when over 1,000 Farmingdale State College students received a diploma — Turbendian said that as she waited with anticipation to hear her name read over the sound system, she was more focused on making sure she did not fall down or shake anybody's hand the wrong way. She said that it wasn't until she had gotten home that the realization started to sink in.
"Then it hit me… I graduated," Turbendian said. "Four years went by so quickly."
The Village of Farmingdale Board of Trustees met on June 2 to consider several building permits put forth by several local businesses, namely the expansion of local tavern Croxley's Ale House at 190 Main St. downtown.
During the meeting village board members voted unanimously to approve a special use permit to Croxley's Ale House allowing the establishment to construct
an outdoor gathering area and expand the available parking for customers, said Mayor Ralph Ekstrand.
"They have purchased the building behind them, the old Safeway Electric place, with the intention to knock down the existing structures to construct an outdoor Beer Garden," Ekstrand said. "Croxley Ales is a great place that I frequent often myself... for the past five years they've always paid the Village on-time when they've owed us money, and I see no reason not to grant their request once again."
The congregation of St. Luke's Lutheran Church of Farmingdale recently held a down-home country-style barbecue to kick off a new three-year fundraising effort.
The goal is to raise $1.4 million to help with the acquisition of a new building to expand both the parish and outreach to the community.
There were burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork, salads, and a DJ spinning country tunes for the massive turnout.
On June 3, residents in the South Farmingdale Fire District voted 52-0 to change the department's existing Length of Service Award Program [LOSAP] for eligible volunteer firefighters.
As the first fire district on Long Island to have the switch approved by voter referendum, South Farmingdale will freeze LOSAP service credits for eligible volunteers, effective Jan. 1, 2015, and transition from its current defined benefit program to a defined contribution system.
A bunch of young ladies were recently instructed on the crafty caveats of creativity with the most unlikely of materials: duct tape, which according to Farmingdale Young Adult Librarian Natalie Korsavidis, is a surprisingly big hit among the students in her art classes.
"Duct tape is very, very popular," said Korsavidis, who runs all of the programs for kids in grades 3-12. "If something is popular with my teens, third to fifth graders usually tend to like it as well. I've done duct tape before with older kids, so I thought I'd try it with the youngsters this time."
In the rich tradition of commemorating all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces—dedicating their lives to fight for home and country overseas—veterans in the Village of Farmingdale lined up bright and early on May 26 for the annual Memorial Day Parade.
The parade assembled at Yoakum Street and Thomas Powell Blvd. before making its way south down Main Street towards the grandstand assembled in front of Village Hall.
Everyone knows that the Dalers can deliver the goods when it comes to nearly any sport, but word has spread that there is yet another field where the students of Farmingdale High School are delivering hard-hitting results: the field of science.
Science Research Advisor Laurie Sheinwald said the school's Science Research Club was started in response to Farmingdale's public reputation solely as a school for athletics. She said that they wanted to show that they have an impressive scientific community of students as well.
Elected officials in the Village of Farmingdale are looking to pass legislation that will restrict cellphone providers such as AT&T and Verizon from putting any antenna, beacon or tower on private property.
"The village relies on the cellphone tower revenue," said Farmingdale Mayor Ralph Ekstrand. "These rich cellphone providers can easily pay the fees."
Voters in the Farmingdale School District cast their ballots on May 20, to pass a $156.4 million spending plan for the 2014-2015 school year, by a margin of 71 percent.
According to unofficial tallies, 1,516 residents voted "yes" while 626 voted against the 2014-2015 budget.
"When the Farmingdale community went to the polls on May 20, they spoke loud and clear," Superintendent John Lorentz said. "They said that they understand the intrinsic value of the public school system, and are willing to take action to preserve it. We can't thank them enough."

GARY | It's a simple lesson, really.
Just be yourself.
That's the approach Brian Kolb has taken in his budding professional baseball career. As he prepares to turn 26 in two months, he's becoming increasingly important to the RailCats as they cling to the lead in the wild card standings.
Barely a month remains in the regular season of the American Association race, and it's time for moves that mitigate potential regret. A change will do a team good.
With 15-year pro Cristian Guerrero struggling at the plate and putting too much pressure on himself, the all-important No. 3 spot in the RailCats' batting order has been bequeathed to Kolb for the time being. Guerrero will man the fifth or sixth slot.
While Kolb's hot bat and the desire to give Guerrero, the franchise's all-time leader in home runs, a bit of a mental break are major factors in the move, his even-keel nature made him a prime candidate for a promotion to what others would deem a pressure-packed lineup spot.
"Certainly we think what we're doing right now is the best for the ball club in the long run," RailCats manager Greg Tagert said. "He may not be your prototypical No. 3 hitter, but he can do some things that will deepen that lineup and give us some options in that 3-4-5 spot.
Kolb has hits in 50 of 63 games played this season, usually in the sixth or seventh slot in the lineup. In the four-game win streak the 'Cats rode into Monday's game with Kansas City, Kolb was 6-for-16.
Kolb went 3-for-5 with three RBIs and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-3 win. He singled in his first at-bat Monday, his second consecutive start in the No. 3 spot, and his .309 batting average was third on the team entering the contest.
The RailCats are far and away the lightest team in the American Association when it comes to home runs, so the No. 3 hitter isn't expected to slug.
"I know, especially with this team, we're not expected to do more than be ourselves," Kolb said. "We don't have typical power guys in the 3-4-5 spots, so the main difference is I hit a little earlier in the game.
"It hasn't really affected me much because I'm not being asked to do more than I'm capable of doing."
The year did not start well for Kolb as he suffered a hairline fracture in a finger in the first game of the year. After missing the rest of the first week of the season, he had to wear a splint, tape it and eschew the use of batting gloves.
Still, in his fourth year with the team but second full season as a starter, Kolb is finding his spots like he did when he was a Division III All-American selection at Wheaton (Ill.) College.
"I think part of it is I just started to focus on getting my pitch to hit," Kolb said. "It's funny how baseball is. You get a couple good games in a row and all of a sudden the confidence gets back, and you start rolling from there."
In the offseason Kolb talked often with team leaders Adam Klein and Mike Massaro, savvy hitters who now hit directly in front of him in the lineup.
"The main thing that drove me this year is winning a championship," Kolb said. "Talking to Klein and Massaro, we know in order to do that, each individual has to take care of his business."

WorldNetDaily Pundit Wants 'White Christian Conservative' President Because Of Michelle Obama's Vacations, Benghazi
WorldNetDaily columnist Mychal Massie is no fan of First Lady Michelle Obama, and is citing her lack of "social grace and decorum" and "lavish shopping sprees" as reasons that the next president should be "a white Christian conservative."
Not missing a beat, Massie also cites #Benghazi as a reason not to have a person of color succeed President Obama.
"[Obama] has traded on the color of his skin the way prostitutes trade on sexual favors," Massie writes today. "Because the Obama sucklings, complicit with a pathetic and biased media, label all criticism of Obama as racist, it is my position that the next president be a white Christian conservative."He has traded on the color of his skin the way prostitutes trade on sexual favors. Because the Obama sucklings, complicit with a pathetic and biased media, label all criticism of Obama as racist, it is my position that the next president be a white Christian conservative.
I am prepared to argue same because, if we have a white Christian conservative as president, we can criticize his (or her) policies without concern of being called racists. It would be expected of that person to adhere to the highest standards of integrity, truthfulness, transparency and protocol. A white Christian conservative's wife would be expected to exhibit social grace and decorum consistent with the office her husband held and not comport herself as a demimonde or slattern in expensive designer clothes.

If we had a white Christian conservative as president, we would not be called racists for condemning a presidency that has 62-plus million families out of 81-plus million American families with no family member employed.
If a white Christian conservative president were in office now, we would know the truth of Fast and Furious and the truth about the terrorist attack in Benghazi. Not only would we know why the president suborned perjury in covering up the details of same, but we would know why he was singularly responsible for not lifting a finger to save Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, who were murdered in Benghazi.
If the wife of a white Christian conservative knowingly and intentionally falsified travel records, naming her daughters as senior staff members, there would be hell to pay and rightly so. If the wife of a white Christian conservative were on pace to spend nearly a billion dollars of taxpayers' money on lavish shopping sprees, vacations and special parties for their children at which Hollywood actors performed their movie roles in costume, we would be lauded for demanding Congress reign her in.
And more importantly, if we had a white Christian conservative president who ignored the Constitution and who legislated from the Oval Office, we would not be nearly six years into his term of office and still be waiting for impeachment proceedings against him.
And we darn sure wouldn't see other Christians and conservatives covering up for him as we witness blacks, Democrats and the media covering for Obama.

Huckabee: I'm Beginning To Think There's More Freedom In North Korea Than U.S.
If old HuckaJesus really thinks that North Korea is that great, I would welcome him joining Dennis Rodman and moving over there so we could be rid of both of them here. From this Saturday's "Freedom Summit," sponsored by Citizens United and Koch-backed Americans For Prosperity.
Huckabee hit on everything from the issue with the rancher that he and his network continue to toss gasoline on, to Fast & Furious, to Benghazi, to the IRS, before finally going after the TSA and airport security, and then making the ridiculous comparison between citizens having the right to vote and the security required to enter the White House:
Speakers at the New Hampshire Freedom Summit, which was sponsored by Citizens United and Koch-backed Americans For Prosperity, included Senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, all of whom would be top tier presidential contenders should they run.
Donald Trump also spoke.
No, Obama Did Not Fake The Unemployment Rate
Conservatives are working themselves into a froth about what they believe is the next HUGE OBAMA SCANDAL: allegations that the unemployment numbers were cooked just ahead of the 2012 election.
This scandal may turn out to be just as devastating to the Obama administration as the IRS, Benghazi and Fast & Furious scandals. Not devastating at all, in other words. In fact, this one seems even flimsier than those pseudo-scandals.
New York Post columnist John Crudele, citing one anonymous source, claims that Census Bureau employees have been ordered to make up responses when surveying households for the Labor Department's monthly unemployment report. Crudele claims to have evidence from 2010 that one Census survey-taker was caught making up numbers to meet a quota. Crudele's anonymous source claims there were other incidents of surveyors making up numbers, that Census officials encouraged such shenanigans, and that fake-number generation ramped up ahead of the 2012 election.
This, Crudele suggests in a daring leap of logic, probably explains unemployment's drop to 7.8 percent in September 2012 from 8.1 percent the month before.
That drop was reported on Oct. 5, 2012, just a month ahead of Election Day, and immediately seemed suspicious to conservatives like former General Electric CEO Jack Welch.
Conservatives were aflutter again on Tuesday about Crudele's column, with CNBC forehead-vein-farmer Rick Santelli declaring himself and Welch vindicated, and failed GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain tweeting.
But sorry, Herman Cain, no. "The employee who did it" does not say that. In fact, there is no such employee in Crudele's report. Crudele cites only an anonymous source who generally claims that numbers were made up. The "employee" who allegedly "did it" is one guy who allegedly made up numbers in 2010, which careful readers will note was two years before the election. That employee was not accused of raising or lowering unemployment figures — just of making up numbers to meet a quota of households.
Obviously, if the Census Bureau is telling employees to make up numbers one way or another, that's a problem. Neither the Census Bureau nor the Labor Department had anything interesting to say about Crudele's report when contacted by The Huffington Post, although a Labor Department spokesman said the Commerce Department was investigating the claims. The Census Bureau, which is a part of the Commerce Department, did not confirm or deny that statement.
Congressman Bridenstine Unhinged On House Floor: Calls Obama An 'Incompetent, Vengeful Liar With No Moral Compass' | ThinkProgress
A Republican Congressman derided President Obama as a vengeful liar who lacks the "moral compass" during a scathing speech on the House floor on Monday, just as some party leaders are cautioning the GOP against overreaching in their response to the controversies surrounding the administration.
Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) referenced the Fast and Furious operation, Obama's response to the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the Justice Department's seizure of journalists' phone records, the Internal Revenue Services' (IRS) targeting of conservative groups, and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' efforts to promote enrollment in the Affordable Care Act to argue that Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are "not fit to lead."
Mr. Speaker, the President's dishonesty, incompetence, vengefulness and lack of moral compass lead many to suggest that he is not fit to lead.
The only problem is that his vice president is equally unfit and even more embarrassing.
Appearing on The Mark Levin Show on Tuesday, Bridenstine said he has "gotten great encouragement" for his remarks from fellow Republicans.

FLASHBACK: TruNews host Wiles: "'Gay Rights Fanatics' Are 'Going to Get Us All Killed'" | Right Wing Watch
A few weeks ago, we started listening to Rick Wiles' "Trunews" radio program because we discovered that he regularly interviews a variety of Religious Right activists that we monitor here. But since then, we've begun listening just because his show - "the only newscast reporting the countdown to the second coming of Jesus Christ" - is also a cavalcade of insanity.
And yesterday's program was no exception, as Wiles' grew increasingly worked up about North Korea's latest threat against the United States, which he blamed on "gay rights fanatics."
Elsewhere in the program, Wiles declared that the "Fast and the Furious" scandal is part of an effort by the Obama administration to arm Mexican gangs who will then wage war on Texas and Arizona while the administration stockpiles ammunition to supply "Obama's commie army."
Wiles is definitely THE craziest religious right broadcaster in existence, beating out Bryan Fischer AND Buster Wilson for the title (so far).

PFAW: How right-wing radicals lobby against common-sense gun regulations and how to defeat the RWNJ agenda
While the White House, governors, Congress and other public officials grapple with policy responses to last month's mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school, many Americans wonder whether the massacre of young children will provide momentum for more effective laws that previous killing sprees – even one that gravely wounded a member of Congress – have not.
Some assume, wrongly, that nothing can be done. Politicians' fear of the $200+ million National Rifle Association (NRA) is generally cited as the reason for weak gun laws that undermine law enforcement and put citizens at higher risk from gun crimes. The power of the NRA to determine the outcome of elections may well be more myth than reality, but even the perception of such power can give the group tremendous political muscle, along with its aggressive lobbying and strong-arm political tactics.
The NRA is not alone in attempting to prevent effective regulation of guns and promoting reckless policies that leave Americans vulnerable to crime. Its efforts are supported by the same kind of coalition that undermines the nation's ability to solve a wide range of problems. Corporations, right-wing ideologues, and Religious Right leaders work together to misinform Americans, generate unfounded fears, and prevent passage of broadly supported solutions.
Understanding the extremism and dishonesty at the heart of right-wing obstructionism is crucial to overcoming it.
Who's Extreme?
Opponents of stronger gun laws portray any effort to regulate the sale of even military-style weapons as radical assaults on American freedom. For instance, Matt Barber of the Liberty Counsel, a Religious Right legal group, called President Obama a "slime ball," claiming falsely that Obama used his remarks at a memorial service for the Connecticut shooting victims to push "radical" gun control and saying of Obama, "His extremism knows no lows."
But it is Barber and NRA officials who are staking out an extreme position. They emphatically do not speak for the American people. More strikingly, the NRA leadership and its allies do not speak for the group's own members. Huge majorities of NRA members support sensible policies that the group opposes. For example, 82 percent of the public, and 74 percent of NRA members, support requiring a criminal background check of anyone purchasing a gun. NRA leaders strongly oppose requiring background checks for gun sales. And a recent poll taken after the Newtown shooting found that a majority of people who live in gun-owning households support a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
At the urging of NRA officials, Congress has even passed laws that undermine law enforcement officials' ability to fight gun crimes, forcing the Justice Department to destroy within 24 hours records about the buyer in approved purchases and making it harder for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to track sales of certain guns used in crimes. How do anti-gun-regulation activists prevent action in the face of broad public support? They deploy a range of strategies and tactics that right-wing activists use on a variety of issues:
Denying and Masking Reality
On issues from gay rights to climate change, right-wing activists stick stubbornly to their ideology even when it is clearly controverted by scientific consensus and other reality. On gun violence, NRA officials and their allies refuse to acknowledge that the availability of assault weapons and high-volume ammunition clips, or the lack of background checks for private sales of guns, are problems that make it easier for a shooter to kill more innocent people quickly. They ignore evidence that stronger gun laws can and do reduce gun crimes. According to an October 2012 report from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, "When states expand firearm prohibitions to high-risk groups, and adopt comprehensive measures to prevent diversion of guns to prohibited persons, fewer guns are diverted to criminals, and there is less violence. "
One way to mask reality is through rhetoric that distorts or hides the truth. Tea Party leaders and their allies rallied opposition to federal health care reform by portraying "ObamaCare" in lurid end-of-freedom, America-destroying rhetoric. They were successful in building public opposition to the generic "ObamaCare" – even though there was strong majority support for most of the substantive elements of the plan. By portraying advocates for stronger gun regulation as government thugs who want to take guns from hunters' hands, NRA leaders and their allies have been able to generate some poll numbers indicating opposition to "gun control," but the more relevant fact for policymakers is that huge majorities of Americans, and of NRA members themselves, back many of the most commonly discussed approaches to reducing gun violence. Stronger efforts to keep dangerous guns out of the hands of dangerous people are simply not attacks on the right recognized by the Supreme Court under the Second Amendment of law-abiding citizens to have guns for hunting or self-defense.
Shifting Blame
The speech by the NRA's Wayne LaPierre a week after the Connecticut shootings was a memorable display of blame shifting. He attempted to cast blame for the killings on everyone but his own group's resistance to stronger controls on assault weapons and the firearms or ammunition themselves.
Religious Right leaders and right-wing pundits played their usual parts in the spin. Religious broadcaster James Dobson said the shooting was God's judgment for the country turning its back on scripture and on God. Franklin Graham said much the same: "This is what happens when a society turns its back on God." Radio host Steve Deace blamed public schools for promoting a "culture of death" and teaching students "there is no God and thus no real purpose to their lives." American Family Association spokesperson Bryan Fischer said God wasn't there to protect students because schools were not starting the day with prayer. Newt Gingrich blamed "an anti-religious secular bureaucracy and secular judiciary seeking to drive God out of public life," along with video games. Culture warriors Ted Baehr and Tom Snyder wrote in Movieguide:
By removing God, the Bible, God's Law, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit from society, including the mass media and the schools, we are raising generations of people with no faith in God or Jesus and, hence, no moral conscience, and no self-control. If so many people have no faith, no moral conscience and no self-control, then it's no wonder our society is suffering from all these mass murders by evil lone gunmen.
Tea Party Nation blamed teachers' unions, liberals, and an "over-bureaucratized society." The Oathkeepers, a Tea Party offshoot for military and law enforcement officials, argued that the federal government was "complicit in the deaths of these children, and in fact an accessory to their mass murder, by forcibly disarming (with the very real threat of prison) all the teachers, all the staff, and any parent who may have been on school property."
The consequence of such blame-spreading is that it creates distractions from addressing the real problems. One Religious Right leader appearing on American Family Radio called the shooting a "gracious" act of divine punishment designed to "bring us to our senses and bring us back to Him."
Hostility to Compromise
The absolute refusal to compromise – indeed, the vilification of the very idea of compromise – is at the heart of the right-wing movement and much of the modern Republican Party. That has been the story of GOP obstructionism on tax policy, judicial nominations, and more. Just as the Tea Party and its corporate backers have gone out of their way to punish Republicans they see as insufficiently "conservative" – even when it meant nominating extremists who could not win a general election – leaders of the NRA and other groups like the Gun Owners of America react with fierce hostility to talk of compromise. Their political power comes largely from the fear they have created among elected leaders that the group will spend lavishly to punish even the tiniest dissent from its ideological dogma. The NRA's leaders loudly pulled out of current conversations convened by the White House, denouncing the effort to find policy solutions to gun violence as "demonizing" the Second Amendment, and they launched a "Stand and Fight" campaign even before the details of the White House proposals had been announced. Rep. Steve Stockman from Texas even threatened to file articles of impeachment.
One way Religious Right leaders justify their opposition to compromise is claiming a biblical mandate for their favored policies, something Religious Right leaders do on issues like taxes as well as issues involving privacy and sexuality. Discredited Religious Right "historian" David Barton calls the Second Amendment "the biblical right of self-defense" and says it requires that individual Americans have access to any weapon the federal government has.
Smearing Opponents
Just as Religious Right groups smear political opponents as hostile to religious liberty, anti-gun-regulation groups smear as enemies of liberty anyone who advocates for stronger oversight on the purchase of weapons capable of mass violence. Even though polls show that NRA members believe support for the Second Amendment goes hand in hand with preventing gun crimes, the group's leaders falsely equate any effort to strengthen gun laws to advance public safety with a desire to confiscate Americans' handguns and hunting rifles.
Religious Right leaders are prone to make claims that only fellow believers are capable of moral action and decision making. Snyder and Baehr, in their post-shooting column, wrote, "Without God, without faith and values, we are just soulless meat machines who can kill without mercy."
Promoting Conspiracy Theories
The right-wing base of the Republican Party is fed a steady diet of conspiracy theories about liberals and other perceived enemies. That's why so many Republicans believe President Obama is a secret Muslim bent on the destruction of the US, or that he was not born in the United States. During the Obama administration, right-wing websites have circulated conspiracy theories about the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security administration stockpiling ammunition intended to be used against Americans and building concentration camps for conservatives.
National Rifle Association leaders claimed during the 2012 election that President Obama's lack of action on gun issues during his first term was an elaborate ruse to mask his radical intentions to disarm gun owners. Larry Pratt of the Gun Owners of America insisted that the federal health care reform law was meant to "take away your guns."
Some went even further: Christian radio host Bradlee Dean, a close ally of Rep. Michele Bachmann, suggested that the killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, like earlier murders at a theater in Aurora, Colorado, were actually orchestrated by the government to create a pretext to ban guns.
Extremist Interpretations of the Constitution
A Wyoming legislator has introduced legislation that would make it a felony to enforce a federal ban on assault weapons or high-capacity ammunition. The idea that a state could imprison federal agents for enforcing a federal law may excite right-wing activists, but it doesn't reflect a reality-based view of our constitutional system of government. And that's a widespread problem. David Barton insists that the founding fathers' view of the constitutional right to bear arms means that any weapon the government possesses must also be available to the population at large: "…whatever the government's got, we've gotta have the same thing, because if they've got an AK-47 and come through and we've only got a BB gun on the inside, this is not a deterrent. So the whole purpose of the Second Amendment is to make sure you have equal power with whatever comes against you illegally." If Barton is really saying that citizens have a Second Amendment right to anything that is in the U.S. military arsenal – chemical weapons, fully automated machine guns, bombs, and more – that is emphatically not a view endorsed by the Supreme Court.
Ted Cruz, a new U.S. senator from Texas elected with major support from Tea Party activists said recently that efforts to restrict the sales of assault weapons and ammunition are unconstitutional. In fact, even the conservative Supreme Court has said clearly that regulating the sale of dangerous guns is not prohibited by the Second Amendment. According to Justice Antonin Scalia, "the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns."
Harnessing Corporate Money
Right-wing causes, including the Tea Party, anti-unionism, and anti-environmentalism, have benefitted from a flood of corporate money in the wake of Supreme Court decisions gutting the nation's campaign finance laws. In addition, the American Legislative Exchange Council, a right-wing group that acts as matchmaker between corporate interests and lawmakers eager to do their bidding, has produced literally hundreds of model bills that right-wing legislators have enacted into law – attacking unions and public education and otherwise supporting the predatory privatization of public assets and government services. Among the model bills ALEC has previously promoted is the so-called "stand your ground" law originally adopted in Florida. ALEC deemed it a national "model" law, and it was enacted in more than two dozen states. The Florida law was cited initially to prevent the prosecution of the man who killed Trayvon Martin.
Some analysts believe the NRA has morphed from a grassroots group teaching marksmanship to a trade association for gun manufacturers – a "lobbying, merchandising and marketing machine." Business Week reported in January 2012 that more than 50 firearms-related companies had given at least $14.8 million to the group. The NRA has boosted gun makers several ways: its rhetoric about gun confiscation has spurred binge buying by gun enthusiasts; it has pushed a federal law that limits liability against gunmakers as well as state laws that bar cities from suing gun manufacturers (in conjunction with ALEC); and the NRA's legislative arm has also "helped ensure the end of the federal assault weapons ban" in 2004 (which the NRA and ALEC opposed in 1994). Business Week quotes the former NRA President Sandy Froman claiming that it "saved the American gun industry from bankruptcy."
Anything Goes
A hallmark of right-wing activism over the past four years has been a willingness to say and do anything to try to undermine the effectiveness of the Obama presidency and to try to prevent the president's re-election (as well as his initial election). Rhetorically, that has meant equating health care reform and other initiatives with tyranny. In response to recent reports that some aspects of gun regulation could be strengthened by executive order, the right-wing Drudge Report posted photos of Hitler and Stalin.
Before the 2012 election, NRA leaders portrayed President Obama as conspiring to abolish Americans' Second Amendment rights. But NRA efforts to bring down the Obama administration went well beyond political rhetoric and campaign spending. The NRA leadership played a significant role in the failed effort by congressional Republicans to turn the ATF's botched "Fast and Furious" operation into an administration-destroying scandal. NRA officials even announced that the group would "score" a House vote on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, getting votes from Republicans and some Democrats eager to preserve a 100-percent NRA rating.
Money, Power, and Perception
Back in August, Daniel Webster, co-director of the Center for Gun Policy and Research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore said, "Democrats have decided, I think wrongly politically and morally, that it's only an issue they can lose on." Indeed, even though the group's recent political spending is heavily weighted toward Republicans, the lack of desire to cross the NRA's lobbyists and activists is bipartisan. In 2009, a Democratic Congress complied with demands for federal laws allowing people to bring guns onto Amtrak trains and into national parks; in 2010 the group demanded, and got, a special exemption from identifying its donors in the DISCLOSE Act under consideration.
The NRA and GOP's Fast and Furious Lies | The Nation
With days–perhaps hours–to go before President Obama announces recommendations from Vice President Biden's gun violence task force, battles lines have already been drawn.
Most dramatically, with the heartrending burials of 20 innocent first-graders and six of their heroic educators as a backdrop, NRA top lobbyist Wayne LaPierre issued a belligerent and self-pitying demand for yet more weaponry, and the posting of armed guards at every school in America. But as the nation debates Obama's proposals—and LaPierre's—it will be important to reexamine the NRA's greatest PR victory of the last few years: the greatly overworked, shamefully distorted Fast and Furious scandal.
As Fortune reporter Katherine Eban revealed in an outstanding investigation published last summer, much of what Republicans have claimed about the scandal—including the headline-grabbing assertion that the US government intentionally provided guns to Mexican drug cartels—is false. The real story is of an agency sabotaged by the same pro-gun mania which led to the Newtown tragedy.
The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) opened up the Fast and Furious case to monitor American teenagers, who had been tapped by Mexican drug cartels to help arm the war in Mexico by becoming straw purchasers or front buyers. Our laws permit a teenager with no prior criminal record to pay cash and buy an unlimited number of military assault rifles. Their favorites included AR-15 variants like the Bushmaster .223 rifle used by Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Were Lanza in Arizona, he could have walked into nearly any federally licensed firearms dealer, plunked down $10,000 in cash, and left with 20 AK-47s in his hands—as do so many straw purchasers.
In a sane country, the inquiry into Brian Terry's death would have examined all the tools that the ATF agents lacked in trying to build a case against the straw purchasers in Fast and Furious. There is no firearms trafficking statute, which would have allowed the ATF to build a swifter case that targeted the straw purchasers and their recruiters as a group. There is no comprehensive database of firearms purchases, which would have given the agents a much-needed real-time look at their suspects' activities. In fact, the laws are so lax that the buyers didn't even need to resort to a favored avenue for shady purchases: our totally unregulated gun shows, which require no background checks at all. (A sane country also would not have left the ATF to languish without a permanent head for fully six years—an unacceptable situation that Mayor Michael Bloomberg has rightly called on the president to address with a recess appointment.)
The Republican-led House, acting in lockstep with the NRA, twisted the facts of the ill-fated gun trafficking investigation in Phoenix to complete almost every item on its political To Do list. It used the scandal to bludgeon and destabilize the ATF, the agency charged with enforcing the nation's gun laws. It diverted attention from the ineffective gun laws that made the ATF's job in Fast and Furious nearly impossible. And it emerged with a cherished talking point: that the gun laws on the books right now are more than adequate, and it's only their enforcement that has flaws.
The effort by the NRA and its friends in Congress to stymie any discussion of our permissive guns laws during its Fast and Furious investigation was made plain by the lead sled dog, Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA), who at multiple hearings openly silenced Democratic members from even asking questions about the strength of the laws or potential legislative solutions.
If the NRA and Republican congressmen really cared about Brian Terry or his tragic death, they would have probed the actual causes underlying it, instead of proliferating a lot of phony conspiracy theories so wild, they almost left Stephen Colbert at a loss for words.
Early on in the investigation, the few reality-based ideas came from Representative Elijah Cummings, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee's ranking Democrat. Cummings held a hearing on the state of the gun laws and issued a report with recommendations including the enactment of a federal firearms trafficking statute. But the 36-month Republican-led investigation into Fast and Furious yielded not a single suggestion for strengthening the laws or empowering the ATF. Instead, it was a blueprint for reducing what passes as gun enforcement to rubble. As we're tragically reminded over and over, that comes at a tragic price.
Investigation finds no evidence AG Eric Holder knew of 'Fast and Furious' gun-running sting
A long-awaited report on the U.S. government's controversial gun-trafficking operation known as "Fast and Furious" released Wednesday found no evidence that Attorney General Eric Holder knew of the botched effort to trace the flow of guns to Mexico's drug cartels prior to its public unraveling in January 2011.

DOJ won't prosecute Holder for contempt - The Ed Show
The Department of Justice is telling Congress that it won't prosecute Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt of Congress over his decision to withhold information about the "Fast and Furious" gun-tracking operation.
In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, the department says that it will not bring the congressional contempt citation against Holder to a federal grand jury and that it will take no other action to prosecute the attorney general.
Yesterday, the full House approved a precedent-setting resolution to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt of Congress. It was the first time a sitting Cabinet member has been held in contempt.
The final vote was 255-67, with only two Republicans voting "no." 108 Democrats abstained from voting on what they have long argued is a politically motivated stunt. Many walked out of the Capitol in protest.
Republican lawmakers can still take Holder to court to enforce their demand for documents.
Eric Holder Witchhunt Contempt Vote Over Operation Fast And Furious Looms Before Full House
WASHINGTON — Barring a last-minute deal, House Republicans plan historic votes Thursday to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in civil and criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents related to a bungled gun-tracking operation.
A sitting attorney general never has been held in contempt and Republicans picked an odd day to set a precedent. They scheduled the votes the same day the Supreme Court was deciding the legality of President Barack Obama's health care law.
Passage of the contempt resolutions was not in doubt. Republicans control the House, and are likely to pick up Democrats who support the National Rifle Association. The NRA said it's keeping score on how members vote, partly because the gun owners' group believes the Obama administration wanted to use the program – called Operation Fast and Furious – to make the case for more gun control.
Gun-walking long has been barred by Justice Department policy, but federal agents in Arizona experimented with it in at least two investigations during the George W. Bush administration before Fast and Furious. The agents in Arizona lost track of several hundred weapons in Fast and Furious.
Two of the guns turned up at the scene where border agent Brian Terry was killed in Arizona in a shootout with Mexican bandits.
Ironically, the documents at the heart of the current argument are not directly related to the workings of Operation Fast and Furious. Rather, they are internal Justice Department communications after February 2011, when the Obama administration falsely told Congress that guns were not allowed to "walk" to Mexico. The department has given the Oversight Committee's chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., 7,600 documents on the operation itself.
Fast and Furious had been shut down by the time of the false information, but Issa wants documents showing deliberations during the 10 months it took for the administration to acknowledge the error.

Meet the Right's New Boogeyman: Eric Holder | The Nation
What happens when the country's first black attorney general decides to defend voting rights? He's held in contempt of Congress. At least that's what House Democrat Nancy Pelosi is claiming about a House vote scheduled for Thursday on whether to hold Holder in contempt.
A House Committee last week decided to make a recommendation for a full vote for contempt, related to a "gun-walking" operation that began during the Bush era, when federal agents knowingly allowed arms dealers to purchase guns for Mexican drug cartels. After President Obama took office, Holder continued the program through 2011, but also began an investigation into what he has called the flawed and unacceptable gun-walking tactic.
Keep in mind that some 50,000 people have died as a result of the US-supported drug war in Mexico. But it wasn't until a gun from the so-called Fast and Furious program was involved in the murder of a US border agent that the committee decided to go after the Obama administration. After Obama evoked executive privilege to protect Holder from the committee's request for additional documents related to the program, a recommendation was made to vote to hold him in contempt in the full House.
In the meantime, Holder has made no secret of the fact that the Department of Justice will vigorously defend voters' rights. From speeches to clergy groups to lawsuits to stop Florida's purge of its rolls, Holder has been transparent about the Justice Department's commitment to combat voter suppression in local, state, and federal contests. Queens County and Orange County, New York, primary elections are being monitored today to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act, as are many other elections this season.
But is Pelosi correct in asserting that Holder's actions in favor of voting rights are prompting the move to hold him in contempt?
Despite NRA Rhetoric, Holder Hasn't Done Much On Gun Control | TPMMuckraker
On paper, Thursday's vote on a resolution finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress is about a subset of internal Justice Department documents and whether such executive branch communications are subject to legislative oversight.
In reality, as Democrats argue, and even some Republicans will admit, the vote is about much more: Targeting a top administration official who has been a long time target of the GOP's ire.
Whether it is his initial decision to try Khalid Sheikh Muhammed in federal court in New York City, or to reopen an investigation into torture during the Bush administration, or DOJ's legal opposition to state voting restrictions, or their refusal to defend a federal law banning same-sex marriage, Holder has been a lighting rod for much of his tenure.
But it's an issue that caused problems for Holder in the first months of the Obama administration — gun control — that overshadows the entire vote over what is theoretically a deep-in-the-weeds debate over the limits of executive power.
Complicating the matter is the fact that the Justice Department was, at the time Fast & Furious documents were sent to Congress, working on a separate gun safety initiative in the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords.
TPM's review of recently disclosed public documents show that Holder, who was told by the White House to stop talking about the assault weapons ban in early 2009, appears to have played a larger role in the early 2011 project than publicly acknowledged.
The National Rifle Association (NRA), which referred to President Barack Obama as "gun ban Obama" during the 2008 campaign and claims that the administration has a secret plot to single-handedly destroy the Second Amendment if he is reelected, is warning members of the House that voting against contempt will cost them points on the NRA's candidate evaluations. While the organization has promoted the conspiracy theory that the Obama administration launched Fast and Furious to inflate statistics about how many guns were going to Mexico, the NRA's evaluations can mean a lot to Democratic members, especially those in swing districts.
At the time of the meeting the administration still hadn't approved a measure require dealers in four border states to report sales of multiple rifles to the ATF (as they are already required to do with handgun sales). Henigan said that showed the administration was willing to cross the NRA.
"It shows some willingness to make the gun lobby angry, but our view is that the administration has nothing to gain politically by angering the NRA," Henigan said.
Dissecting The Right's Fast And Furious Gun Control Conspiracy Theory | TPMMuckraker
As the House prepares to vote this week on a resolution finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has once again publicly subscribed to aconspiracy theory stating that ATF's Operation Fast and Furious was an Obama administration effort to create the political will to enact stricter gun control.
The theory holds that the Obama administration gave weapons to Mexican drug cartels in the hopes that they would commit acts of violence, that the guns would be traced back to the United States and that the public would be scared into accepting tougher restrictions on firearms.
Born on right-wing blogs, boosted by the NRA and subscribed to by members of Congress, it has Democrats banging their heads against the wall.
So, let's say you want to think the Obama administration sent thousands of guns across the border in a mad plan to keep Americans from owning them at home. Here are five things you'd have to to believe in order to fully subscribe to the theory.
1.) That the Obama administration wanted to spend political capital on gun issues.When Fast and Furious started in 2009, the Obama administration was not talking about guns. There's been little movement on the issue of guns their whole time in office — even after a member of Congress was shot — and the administration has in fact expanded gun rights in national parks and on Amtrak trains. The idea that they'd even want to touch the issue, or even thought that they could make any progress on it is simply not supported by the available facts.
2.) That DOJ officials contemporaneously created evidence to suggest that they never knew about the tactics being used. There are plenty of emails showing DOJ officials rejecting the first suggestions that guns were allowed to walk during Operation Fast and Furious. For the Republican-backed gun control theory to be true, officials would have had to fake conversations in which they denied that the ATF allowed guns to walk to begin with. In an email sent on Feb. 2, 2011, then-U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke called staffers for Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) "willing stooges for the Gun Lobby." Not exactly the kind of thing you'd write in an email if you secretly knew the allegations were new and could anticipate such an email being publicly released.
3.) That the number of weapons going to Mexico wasn't already sufficient enough.Plenty of weapons from the U.S. were headed to Mexico before Fast and Furious got underway in 2009. In fact, more weapons were recovered at crime scenes in Mexico before Fast and Furious got underway than after it had been going on for awhile. As Holder told Congress, Fast and Furious was "a flawed response to, not the cause of, the flow of illegal guns from the United States into Mexico." In short, the few thousands weapons sent across the border as part of the program are a fraction of the total number of American firearms that end up as part of Mexico's drug war.
4.) The whistleblowers who brought the tactics to light were also in on the gun-control conspiracy. Last spring, ATF agents tried to testify about how "toothless" gun laws weren't allowing them to do their jobs. Issa tried to shut down the testimony, but it's important to note that the very same individuals who were upset with the tactic being used also believed that Congress wasn't doing enough to stop gun trafficking.
5.) The White House pretended not to know about an emergency reporting rule request. The one measure that the Obama administration has implemented since "Fast and Furious" is a minor regulation which treats so-called "long-guns" the same as handguns, but it is only in place in four border states. The measure (which Issa contends wasn't necessary because he trusts dealers to provide the information voluntarily) was first proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in 2010, before Fast and Furious became a scandal and around the same time Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry died. Emailsobtained by TPM though a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request show that officials with the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) chastised the ATF for not notifying them before publishing an emergency request. Under the gun-control theory, they were lying in the email on the off-chance that someone eventually would FOIA the information.

Tragedy and Comedy. Now there's a really long outline about tragedy and drama, and etc etc. We've studied them. Now apparently Aristotle was supposed to have a companion PART II: COMEDY. But never discovered, found, whatever.
Maybe that's it. Maybe that's the joke. Maybe there isn't one and everyone thinks there is and is waiting for it to magically show up.
He's probably having a good laugh at all of us right now. COMEDIC GENIUS.

The church faces numerous crises at the dawn of the 21st century, both from without the church and within the church. One of the greatest crises relates to leadership. Because some pastors only view themselves as preachers, some congregations must ask, "Who is the leader?" Other congregations experience leadership from a pastor that adopts an unbiblical leadership model. Numerous pastors and individual church members have never experienced positive, healthy relationships within the body of Christ. Leadership is crucial to the church; the local congregation will never reach its divine potential without proper leadership.
As the Apostle Peter began to conclude his letter to Christians scattered throughout the northern provinces of Asia Minor, he provides helpful counsel about the role of a pastor. The Bible provides detailed counsel about the role, function, and methods of ministry that blesses the people of God.
First, Peter reminded Christians of the need for humble, godly leadership (5:1). The little word "therefore" establishes a connection between the crisis faced by the church (1 Pet. 4:12-19) and the role of leaders. The church is an alien minority group facing opposition and suffering from the enemy. In the United States, Christian suffering does not consist yet of physical persecution. Our suffering arises from the clash of worldviews. The church battles on a fourfold front: postmodern relativism, naturalistic secularism, New Age spirituality, or militant religions. The dire circumstances we face require godly leadership.
Second, Peter emphasized the functions of humble, godly leaders (5:2). Peter ascribes a threefold function to leaders that corresponds to the interchangeable biblical titles for leaders: pastors, bishops, and elders. Paul summoned the elders of the church at Ephesus and admonished them to bishop and shepherd God's flock (Acts 20:17, 28). Likewise, Peter addressed the elders and encouraged them to shepherd and to oversee.
Elders, a title common in Southern Baptist life a century ago, refers to the dignity of the position. Bishop means "overseer" and points to administrative oversight. As oversee-er, the pastor helps the congregation discover the purpose God has for the local congregation. Our English word "pastor" derives from the term "shepherd." Yet, the flock belongs to God. At best, the pastor is a mere undershepherd. As shepherd, the pastor protects, guides, leads, and feeds God's flock. The primary responsibility of the pastor-shepherd is the spiritual feeding of the flock (John 21:15-17).
Third, Peter addressed the behavior of humble, godly leadership (5:2-3). Peter set forth three contrasts between ministerial vices to avoid and virtues to imitate. The particular vices Peter lists are specific ministerial temptations: sloth, greed, and power. If leaders serve out of a sense of compulsion, then ministry becomes a mere job. When ministry becomes a mere job, then, the minister becomes slothful in his time management. I personally have never known anyone that entered the ministry because of financial reasons. Yet, the New Testament provides numerous warnings about a leader's attitude towards money (1 Tim. 3:3; Titus 1:7). Furthermore, the New Testament indicts false prophets for their improper desire for money (1 Tim. 6:5-10). Spiritual leaders are not to abuse the flock by asserting their authority over the sheep (overlord). Peter encourages leaders to serve out of divine calling (according to God's will), with a zeal for God's work (eagerly), and by setting an example for the flock to follow.
Finally, Peter comments on the outcome of a humble, godly leader's ministry (5:4). Jesus is the Chief Shepherd; a leader is the undershepherd. When the Chief Shepherd appears at the second coming, He holds the undershepherd accountable. Faithful leaders receive the unfading crown of a victory, that consists of glory.

We're family. We need you. I need you.
My edit for my boobutt.
You don't have to be ruled by fate. You can choose freedom. And I still believe that that's something worth fighting for.
My edit.
So it was pretty obvious that "Alone" was all about couples. It was about romance. (Lauren Cohan said so. Take it up with her for being such a smarty pants) We had Bob and Sasha beginning a sort of romantic thing (what do we call it? Was it a one-off kiss? I don't know. I need more of these two.), Maggie fighting to get back to Glenn, and Beth and Daryl's progressing relationship and Daryl's feelings coming to the surface and Daryl fighting and running all night to get to Beth. So a bit of both the Bob & Sasha dynamic with their relationship just beginning and a little of the Maggie & Glenn determination to find each other. Yeah. "Alone" was definitely about couples.
"30 Days Without an Accident" though, also featured couples and Bethyl were definitely one of those. Look at these freaking parallels these clever writers are beating us over the head with.
The tag is just………. Calm down. I know it's hard and I know everyone loves talking about it, but… Not everything is about Beth and not everything is about Daryl and Beth.
Maggie and Glenn just found each other. Tara's a hot mess of injuries. Maggie still hasn't mentioned her…
Redneck asshole / Southern sweetheart
My edit.
looool this is gonna be our court system in like 15 yrs
It…really did.
"and now scenes from the season finale of the walking dead"
oh okay so sasha mentions tyreese but maggie doesn't even acknowledge beth….

Seeding winter wheat late and thickening stands
click image to zoomRobert KleinFigures 2-4. High winds with gusts up to 70 mph swept across western Nebraska Oct. 18, stripping corn ears and damaging wheat seedlings in this field in western Keith County. This fall many winter wheat fields may not have sufficient stands for profitable production due to the lack of soil moisture or damage from high winds that swept across the state Oct. 18.
If you are evaluating your fields, consider this guide: If the stand is fairly uniform and is about the population you would expect from a seeding rate of 30 lb /ac of average size seed (about 15,000 seeds/lb), it is probably best to leave the stand as is. (See the NebGuide Estimating Winter Wheat Yields, G1429, for more information.) If the stand is not uniform or less than what you would expect from a seeding rate of 30 lb/ac, you may want to thicken up the stand or reseed the field. click image to zoom
In determining how to proceed with your winter wheat, consider:
- Seed or reseed as soon as possible. To reduce wind erosion problems before crop establishment, consider using a hoe-type opener with drill spacing of at least 10 inches. This will help create surface clods and ridges.
- Robert KleinWinter wheat was silted under to the depth of the knife in this field. Adjust your normal seeding rate. If seeding winter wheat now or in the near future in dryland, use 90 lb/acre of average size seed. In eastern Nebraska and in irrigated fields, increase the rate to 120 lb/acre of average size seed. Increase the seeding rate for large seed or decrease for small seed by the appropriate amount.
- Apply 15 to 20 lb/ac of phosphorus (starter fertilizer) with the seed, regardless of phosphorus levels in the soil. If you don't have fertilizer equipment on the seeder, ask your fertilizer dealer to mix 11-52-0 or 18-46-0 with the seed. We prefer 11-52-0. Most fertilizer dealers are able to do a good job of mixing fertilizer and wheat seed. If you have liquid fertilizer equipment on your seeder, use 10-34-0. Do not include 12-0-0-26 as it will reduce germination.
- Seed at least 1 to 1.5 inches deep, making sure the seed is well covered. If you cannot place the seed close to 1 inch deep, you may want to delay seeding until you can seed at the desired depth. Shallow seeding depth can result in winter injury (crown and root rot).
Winter wheat seeded late can survive the winter in most cases if there is enough warm weather for the wheat to develop a couple of tillers and a secondary root system.
For more information, see these UNL Extension publications:
- Seeding Rates for Winter Wheat in Nebraska, G2056, reviews winter wheat trials in Nebraska and shows how widely the number of seeds per pound can vary within and among varieties. This led to the recommendation to plant according to seeds per acre rather than pounds per acre.
- Wind Erosion and Its Control, G1537, discusses the process through which wind erodes soil and steps growers can take to reduce potential damage.
- Emergency Wind Erosion Control, G2006, covers temporary techniques for emergency wind erosion control to protect young seedlings.
- Estimating Winter Wheat Grain Yields, G1429, describes three methods for estimating winter wheat grain yields at different points in the season.
