Apparently Hillary now has a 20 point lead over Obama. It was a dead heat last week. Pennsylvanians like their guns and God, and are fairly non-bitter people, unless, of course, some pompus ass of a politician from Chicago tries to tell us we are. Then you will see the bitterness flow.

Philly Gun Shops Threatning to Move?
In addition to the money utterly wasted persuing this illegal gun ban, where the conclusion is virtually foredrawn that the city will lose in court, gun shops are talking about moving, causing the city to lose tax revenue from shops that sell a high dollar value item:
Delia predicted panic buying of guns, but also warned that if the laws were upheld in court, “I would consider moving out of the city.”
But he wouldn’t stop selling guns to people living in Philadelphia. He said he would move his store to a more gun-friendly town across the city line and resume his business.
Not smart for a city struggling with money.
Lou Middleton, 65, a former Philadelphia police officer who was passing time in Delia’s store, called the city’s new gun laws “a bunch of b.s., to put it bluntly.”
Middleton, who lives in Northeast Philadelphia, said he collects guns, including old military firearms. “I have an M1A [rifle], which has a 20 clip, which cost me $2,000,” he said. “Are they going to come and take it?”
They might, when the enforcement period begins. We might win in court eventually, but you’ll probably never see your rifle again.
Alan Keyes To Leave GOP
Apparently he’ll be announcing tomorrow. Looks like this is in preperation to run for president on the Constitution Party ticket. I got to listen to him talk at the Rally in Harrisburg last Monday, and he’s quite a speaker.
The Rank and File
This should give you an idea of what ordinary police officers (you know, the ones that catch criminals rather than play politician in a police uniform) think about Nutter’s latest plan.
Why We Need Castle Doctrine
Because when you’re cleared of any wrongdoing in a self-defense case, the scumbag ought not be able to sue you.
Dear Michelle Obama
I was moved by Breda’s latest warning to Michelle Obama about the whole pie thing.
We can dance if we want to …
… or maybe we can’t if you’re on property under the jurisdication of the National Park Service. I smell a a lawsuit.
Quote of the Day
“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”
Breda’s response is far better than anything I would say:
Dear Michelle Obama,
If you so much as try to touch my piece of pie, I will stab my fork through the back of your fucking hand – twice, if it’s pumpkin.
And God help you if it’s à la mode.
Yow!
Quote of the Day
From Obama the Socialist Messiah:
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Emphasis mine. Rachel Lucas had this to say:
Jesus in a meadow. What classic bullshit.
No kidding. So we’re just a bunch of xenophobic, paranoid Jesus freaks digging a bunker in the back yard because we think the dirty Mexicans stole our jobs, and sharpening our shooting skills in anticipation of invasion of job stealing hordes who will be coming any day now.
Are we really going to elect this elitist piece of shit president? I won’t vote for anyone who thinks of me and my fellow Pennsylvanians so poorly.
You wouldn’t expect a law professor …
… would be an advocate for breaking the law.
