The Advocates Of Ever More Government

Commenter Aristotle120 suggest that that I give the Diplomad a look. I did and found this.

“Fast and Furious” was about “proving” that America’s “lax” gun laws, and the Red State attitude toward guns fueled the drug violence in Mexico. Drug violence does not, in this view, exist because of the insatiable appetite for drugs by liberal Hollywood and Manhattan elites, by liberal college students, by the denizens of the decaying inner cores of Democrat controlled cities, or even from the insane drug laws the advocates of ever-more government foist on us. No, not all. For the liberal mindset, drug violence in Mexico results from the exercise of second amendment rights by law abiding American citizens. As I have written many times before, the evidence on the ground did not support the theory that “drugs flow north and guns flow south.” The cartels did not buy their guns in the US. In typical liberal fashion, therefore, the Obama Justice Department, acting through the ATF, decided to “prove” it so by making it so. The ATF created gun smuggling networks, sold them guns, and then watched as these moved into Mexico and into the hands of some of the world’s best organized and most ruthless criminals. The result? Mayhem. Hundreds of Mexican citizens, and at least two US Federal agents murdered plus unknown numbers of other crimes on both sides of the border.

You know. Read the whole thing.

    From the beginning of the Obama administration I could not understand what the hell Obama and Hilary and Holder were getting at with their obviously false claims that US gun owners were arming the drug cartels. For one thing, there were the tables covered with full auto firearms and RPGs which never came from any US gun store of show. It just made no sense to me that they would argue an obviously false claim.

    Little did I know that they KNEW US guns were going south. Because they were sending them there. So we not only have a fraud pulled on the American public, and a slander against American citizens, but at least two US officers and hundreds of Mexicans murdered – and our own government is complicit.

    Further, the media is still burying the story, or insisting it’s a Republican witch hunt. And half the nation shrugs and asks “But what about free condoms, huh?”

    At least Benghazi has pushed F&F further into the background. I doubt Obama and Co. consider that a good trade.
