DEMOCRATS FAST AND FURIOUSLY DON’T CARE

The Fast and Furious scandal has yet to be exposed, explained, detailed, documented and fully disclosed to the public. It seems that the only information known about this Gun Running operation is the when, it occurred while the questions of what, how, who and why remain shrouded in secrecy.

This scandal has graduated from a failed sting operation being investigated by Congress to a corrupt conspiracy between the ATF, DOJ and the White House that now has the President involved by invoking Executive Privilege.

The Democrats sitting on the House Committee claim that the Republicans are on a witch hunt to embarrass Eric Holder and the Obama administration. Are they serious? They claim that Holder has released all the relevant documents pertaining to this investigation even though most of the documents turned over by Justice contain a visible letterhead while the rest of the words on the pages are “blacked out” or redacted. Do they think that reflects supplying information?

Further the Democrats continue to play the blame George Bush game by comparing a previous gun-running covert ATF sting named operation “Wide Receiver” as though they were kissing cousins. That could not be further from the truth. They know it and we know it.

First operation “Wide Receiver” had the full knowledge and cooperation of the Mexican government in a joint effort to uncover the gun running network of the cartels. The guns that initially went across the border were interdicted because those guns were outfitted with tracking devices. Eventually, however the cartels criminals realized that the guns were being traced and they were able to disable the tracking devices. When both the ATF and the Mexican authorities started to lose track of the guns the operation was shut down by the Bush Administration in 2007.

Unlike Fast and Furious we know what the goal was in “Wide Receiver” that being to uncover the network.

We know the how of the operation, which was the tracking of weapons to allow Mexican police to make the arrests and gather intelligence on the network.

We know the who which was a cooperative law enforcement effort between the Justice Department, (AG Mukasey) the Alcohol and Firearms Agency
(Todd Jones)and the United States and Mexican Government.

We also know the why of the operation, which of course was to stop gun traffic across the border and help the Mexican government by disrupting the drug cartels ability to outgun their military and police with American made weapons.

Lastly we know why the program was shut down. The reason was that the Mexican criminals figured out how to disable the tracking devices and guns were then lost by both ATF and Mexican authorities. It was a program with good intentions to stop violence by thugs that initially yielding better intelligence but when guns were lost Bush’s Justice Department did the right thing and shut down the program.

We also know that this type of sting operation used in law enforcement is pretty S.O.P (Standard Operating Procedure) in most covert criminal investigations. Whether it is money laundering, drug trafficking or any other network of transferring contraband the tracking of the low man (bag man) in the point of sale or transfer and following them to a larger player (bigger criminal) in the illegal network allows law enforcement greater effectiveness to halt the criminal operations.

Conversely what do we know about operation “Fast and Furious”?

We know the when. Fast and Furious was started in 2009. We know that both the American people and the Mexican government did not know about Fast and Furious gun-running until Border agent Brian Terry died December 14, 2010.

We have yet to learn who authorized Fast and Furious in the Justice Department and whether AG Holder knew and the President knew about this unethical operation.

We don’t know what Fast and Furious intended to accomplish. In fact, it seems a shrouded mystery that ATF law enforcement would solicit gun store owners to sell to customers it would otherwise turn away then watch the gun buyers take their booty across the border while they watched and did nothing.

Therefore we don’t know why this operation was conceived. Why would you allow guns across the border without tracking devices and without any way to interdict and recover those weapons?

Perhaps most importantly we don’t know how any responsible officials in our government could have allowed this operation both to become operational.

How does a law enforcement agency get authority from our Justice Department to arm criminals without a plan to recapture both the weapons and the criminals? What was the plan?

The Terry family deserves answers from this administration. The American people deserve answers from this administration.

For Holder and the Democrats to say “Fast and Furious” was a botched gun-running operation that was similar to “Wide Receiver” under George Bush is not just a bold faced lie it is a purposeful marginalization of a serious breach of ethics, law and morality.

The idea has been floated that the real agenda for “Fast and Furious” was to allow these weapons to be found at crime scenes both in Mexico and the United States and then blame America’s gun store owners and State’s weak gun laws as being responsible for arming criminals. That would be outrageous!

Yet, is it crazy given that this operation came at the heels of President Obama making the public claim that 90 percent of the guns used by Mexican criminals came from the United States? That the ATF’s own statistics report that only 12% of American guns come from across the border making Obama’s statement wildly inaccurate and embarrassing?

Is it crazy when the operation came at the heels of the Obama administration suing Arizona for its new immigration law?

Is it crazy when we know that Mexican President Calderon has consistently accused the United States of not doing enough to stop the flow of American weapons across the border and was invited by President Obama to chastise Congress over Arizona immigration policy in May of 2010? Was Obama setting the table by having Calderon chastise Congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban?

There is a lot of smoke. There is a lot of mystery. There is a lot of conspiratorial ducks lined up and quaking while A.G. Holder refuses to release the documentation to answer all the questions.

Now the administration has imposed Executive Privilege to further shroud the discovery of the truth.

Why is the truth being withheld? What are Holder and Obama afraid of revealing to the public? What was the ultimate plan of the “Fast and Furious” operation? Why after eighteen months since the death of Brian Terry are his family and Americans still in the dark about who, what, why and how this happened?

If the Democrats want to suggest this is a witch hunt then they should come to the podium before the American people and tell us what they know. Otherwise they should be as furious and curious over the secrecy and stop playing politics over this lawless, immoral and deadly scandal!

How dare they not care! How dare they not want answers? How dare they call the search for the truth for the Terry Family a witch hunt!

All Americans should be FAST and FURIOUSLY demanding full and complete disclosure!

COMMON SENSE AND MORALITY NEVER GETS OLD

In the quest of the left to undermine the common sense voices of the awakening American electorate it has gone over the top and plummeted straight to the bottom.

The Wisconsin defeat of the union backed recall of Scott Walker was on its face a display of the self-indulgent spoiled liberal activist’s brigade that hypocritically speaks of democracy they don’t practice.

Americans have a clearer view of the liberal’s complete “demo-corrupt-cy” when it comes to accepting the outcome of voter defeat of their agenda. All conservative and independents can put away their field glasses they have used for over a hundred years to warn other citizens of the coming herd of anti-American predators seeking to stampede her storied culture into oblivion.

They stormed statehouses, taken over the Democratic Party and have been drinking their full in the public watering hole with hydrated hubris as they bred and crossbred their herd. Using an old animal defense mechanism they puff out their bodies to appear grandeur, bigger and more powerful to their foes by the help they received from their media and Hollywood special effects control.

Megaphones, celebrity endorsements, legal loopholes, political chicanery, sly sloganeering, acid spitting accusations of their detractors and the mastery of creating facts and statistic to contort any truth into proof of their positions.

The old guards at the civilized gates of old glory’s waving traditions were seemingly overrun by these petulant persistent pests that lived in every home wanted or unwanted but tolerated nonetheless.

Some of the old guard defected and joined the herd while others compromised by giving part of the American house to them as a haven out of fear they would dominate the domain.

Therefore the marauding mobbish mutating minions of radical reformers not only appeared as innocuous infiltrators to the American cultural landscape after decades but seemed transformed into indigenous idealists.

 

They claimed to be soiled, seeded and sowed by the concepts of constitutional construct that evolved their evanescent egalitarian notions of idiomatic individualism seen as a collective conscience. One brain balled together to stamp a strategy to indoctrinate, infiltrate and interpose their views on the American vista.

Ah but they were not satisfied with being allowed to peacefully play preacher to their socialists songs of the promised land of heaven on earth. No they had to bear their fanatical fangs dripping with tyrant threats of temper tantrum tampering of voter volition.

They not only instigated a defiant disregard of democracy by petitioning a recall against a duly elected Governor but they lost by a large margin to which no message massaging can mitigate its moral meaning.

Americans can see in 3d clarity without blue and red lenses what the left stands for, where the left wants to take America, and how that will end if we hop on the utopian bus.

Across the pond (Europe) the scum is so thick with cultural and economic contamination that the well water long used by liberals to sell its fraudulent future fantasy is a desert reflecting the dull dusty demonstration to their complete communal convoluted coherence to nothing more than power and self-indulgence.

It was not the old guard (GOP) that provided the common sense chemical that scattered the pestilence growing out of control in the political landscape in Wisconsin and the nation but rather a grassroots band of patriot prodigies willing to offer up their sparse free time to clean house.

These are the “New” Americans of the 21st century that honor their forefather’s past as they embrace the future forward with the simple successful and insightful awareness that while technology replaces old fashioned methods both common sense and morality never gets old.

The best new ideas come from pragmatic inspiration that knows we can't compete against the laws of the natural world but expand our vision from the reality of what is cogent and possible. We can fly but not because we humans grew wings on our bodies.
