The Second, Predictable Part Of Operation Fast And Furious

By Semperpapa

Just as it was expected, the second part of Operation Fast and Furious (aka Gunrunner) was put into action yesterday by the liberals in the House of Representatives.

The operation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, was initiated under the Bush administration with the intent of having some semi-automatic weapons being channeled into Mexico and tracked by US authorities in the hope of following them to the drug cartels leaders.

It was an ill-conceived operation to begin with, but it actually went into overdrive in 2009, with thousands more weapons being allowed to go south of the border. The operation was also opposed by law enforcement agents, both from ICE and the Border Patrol, but the complaints went unheeded by the leadership of the bureau.

It all came to a head when BP agent Brian Terry was gunned down in Arizona in December 2010. The weapon used in the killing of Brian was traced back to be one of the weapons involved in operation Fast and Furious.

As the news about this governmental screw up started to appear, despite the efforts of the main stream media who went immediately into a protect-Obama mode, my immediate thought went to the statements made by both Obama and Hillary Clinton last year where they blamed the drug violence in Mexico to the firearms from the United States. At that time I thought it was just one more example of liberal accusing the United States for the problems of others and an attempt to further undermine our Second Amendment rights, but little did anyone know that the two scumbags were blaming America for the influx of weapons into Mexico while a good portion was done under the auspices of their federal government.

But the discovery of the government’s sponsorship makes connecting the dots a lot easier.

Point A: Obama and Clinton lament the influx of firearms moving from the US into Mexico;

Point B: they blame the availability of such weapons in the United States;

Point C: availability is caused by lack of gun control;

And now point D: liberals in Congress want to institute even strictest gun control legislature.

With a little common sense and an understanding of the progressive limitless crusade against the Second Amendment, we can all see what the whole thing comes out to be.

Obama gets into office in January 2009 and finds this incredibly stupid, albeit limited operation going on at the BATF. Obama, as the good progressive he is, steps up the scope of the operation, not to aim at the Mexican drug cartels, but as a way to allow the increase of violence in Mexico and shift the blame back to America. The unfortunate, but opportune death of Brian Terry creates the connection between American firearms and Mexico drug cartel that the anti-gun forces in the United States were looking for.

So the solution to the problem in Mexico is to have more anti constitutional legislation in the United States. I failed to see the connection between the internal problems of Mexico and the rights of people like me here in the United States, rights that are guaranteed by nothing less than the United States Constitution.

These liberal progressives, regardless of their party affiliation, are always ready to trample the rights of us citizens, especially when it comes to the Second Amendment. The continuous effort to disarm the law abiding citizens of our country is not going to work, regardless of how much intrusion and control politicians are seeking in our lives. There is a limit to how much tyranny the average American is willing to tolerate, and all the subterfuge Obama and his minions are engaged in will only exasperate the people and bring the totalitarian attitude of politicians to the forefront of the people attention, with predictable consequences.

Obama and corrupted criminals like Eric Holder saw the potential for the utilization of an ill-conceived policy of the federal government and greatly expanded the scope of it, planning on utilizing this predictable “crisis” to their advantage. It is up to us, the American citizens, to insure that our constitutional rights are safeguarded, because we cannot trust or count on politicians any longer. Washington is a corrupting environment, potentially turning even the most ethical politician into a power hungry stooge. We the People have to stand up and tell them that we will not stand by and allow them to render our Constitution, our rights and our security meaningless. We the people have to tell these freaks that the days of apathy are over and that we are paying attention.

If the Republicans in the House know what is best for them, if they do not want a pink slip at the next ballot, they better make sure that the proposed legislation by the liberal members of the legislative body goes absolutely nowhere and that the will of the people is respected.

Just my thoughts!
