Tin cop riddled by balls-out gunman's AK47 fusillade

Vid A naked Florida man sent a police SWAT robot fleeing from his home after opening fire on the tin cop with an AK-47 assault rifle.

The heavily armed indoor nudist had become the subject of police attention as he was known to possess "several guns" and to have stated that he was suicidal, as well as offering threats.
"He said he'd shoot anyone he could," Lt Bruce Barnett of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office told NBC.
The local SWAT-plods naturally quailed at the prospect of tangling with a quite literally balls-out gunman on his home turf, and decided instead to send in one of their droid colleagues for a look-see. As the searing vid above reveals, initially the only opposition faced by the mechanical cop was the suspect's dog, who was basically compliant.
However, the badged machine then encountered the tooled-up, unclad homeowner, who showed no hesitation in peppering his robotic adversary with a withering hail of lead. The droid was briefly blinded, but video then cut back in. Riddled with slugs, the courageous tin cop beat a hasty retreat.
Reportedly the shot-up droid managed to limp back out of the house despite suffering several bullet holes plus "frayed wires and broken cables". The aggressive naked denizen remained in his dwelling following his victorious encounter with the forces of mechanised public officialdom.
Subsequently fleshy cops managed to persuade the unclothed shootist to give himself up without further enpopment of caps in asses – metal or regular-type. Having been cuffed, the nudie gunslinger, unnamed, was charged with criminal mischief.
The $65,000 metal policeman reportedly had to be rushed to the manufacturer's workshops for repairs, and will no doubt miss the traditional celebratory round of doughnuts and battery-charging at the station. However, the heroic tin cop is expected to make a full return to duty.
"It saved a life," commented Lt Barnett. ®
 | Obama regime offered Ivory Coast Dictator Laurent Gbagbo a Professorship to step downScotty Starnes | April 13, 2011 at 9:56 PM | Tags: Hillary Clinton, Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, President Obama, professorship, State Department | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-52w |
Hillary Clinton's State Department offering a tyrant a professorship to step down. We know liberals love to listen to tyrants while attending liberal colleges. Ask Professor Bill Ayers' students.
ABCNews reports:
When former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo refused to step down following a loss to his political rival in last November's election, the US floated several offers to entice him to cede power, according to US officials. Among them was a professor position at Boston University, which is home to an African President-in-Residence program.
"I can say that after the November 28th election, the State Department did reach out to Mr. Gbagbo's staff and contacts to discuss the results of the election, first and foremost, and the need for him to step aside and allow for a transition to take place," State Dept spox Mark Toner says.
"During these calls, it was mentioned, some possible options open to him, by the international community, including potential positions that would draw on his previous background in academia," he added.
Gbagbo, of course, ignored the offers and refused to step aside. The offer expired at the end of December. Instead, he stepped up a military campaign against Alassane Ouattara, who won the election. Over the next several months the conflict became increasingly violent and culminated with a weeks-long siege on Gbagbo's stronghold in the city of Abidjan.

| | CBO: Budget Deal only cuts the deficits by $352 Million, not $38 Billion as proclaimedScotty Starnes | April 13, 2011 at 8:03 PM | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-52o |
The President, and the entire Congress, lied to America.
WASHINGTON — A new budget estimate released Wednesday shows that the spending bill negotiated between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner would produce less than 1 percent of the $38 billion in promised savings by the end of this budget year.
The Congressional Budget Office estimate shows that compared with current spending rates the spending bill due for a House vote Thursday would cut federal outlays from non-war accounts by just $352 million through Sept. 30. About $8 billion in immediate cuts to domestic programs and foreign aid are offset by nearly equal increases in defense spending.
When war funding is factored in the legislation would actually increase total federal outlays by $3.3 billion relative to current levels.
To a fair degree, the lack of immediate budget-cutting punch is because the budget year is more than half over and that cuts in new spending authority typically are slow to register on deficit tallies. And Republicans promise that when fully implemented and repeated year after year, the cuts in the measure would reduce the deficit by $315 billion over the coming decade.
Still, the analysis is an early lesson about Washington budgeting for junior lawmakers elected last year on promises to swiftly attack the deficit.
No mention that the Democrats who controlled both the House and Senate failed to do their job and pass a budget. It goes against WaPo's narrative.
The House began preliminary debate on the measure Wednesday with it easily advancing over a procedural hurdle by a 241-179 vote. The measure appears on track to pass the House and Senate this week before a stopgap spending measure expires Friday at midnight despite opposition from some of the GOP's most ardent budget cutters.
The budget deficit is projected at $1.6 trillion this year.

| | Anyone see the Government-issued warning about traveling south of the border?Scotty Starnes | April 13, 2011 at 5:23 PM | Tags: border security, Mexican drug cartels, Mexico, Nuevo León, Obama Administration, Obama regime, San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas, travel warning, U.S. Consulate General, U.S. State Department | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-523 |
Those that heard about the warning are slim to none. The Obama regime doesn't want to make this an issue because they're still telling Americans that the border is as safe as its ever been. Just ignore the murders, beheadings and kidnappings and you too can think it's safe.
WSJ reports:
MEXICO CITY—For the first time in Mexico's drug war, the U.S. government said its employees and citizens could be the targets of drug gangs in three Mexican states, a disclosure that could signal danger for Americans south of the border.
The little-noticed warning, published last Friday in a warden's message from the U.S. Consulate General in Monterrey, said U.S. officials had "information that Mexican criminal gangs may intend to attack U.S. law-enforcement officers or U.S. citizens in the near future in Tamaulipas, Nuevo León and San Luis Potosí."
In Tamaulipas state, 32 bodies were found in mass graves on a ranch on Tuesday, bringing the total discovered there since last week to 120, authorities said. On Friday, the U.S. State Department said an American man was reported kidnapped from a bus in the state, but it wasn't known if he was among the dead.
The Consulate's message could have major implications for Americans across Mexico, who have lived in and visited the country under assurances from both governments that drug-related violence wasn't directed toward them. An estimated one million U.S. citizens live in Mexico and millions more visit each year.
Among the cities covered in the warning is Monterrey, the country's northern business hub where U.S. companies like Whirlpool Corp. and General Electric Co. have their regional bases.

Obama and his Democrats increased the federal budget by 29% in just the last four years
President Barack Obama today delivered his own personal Communist manifesto, fraudulently proffering a fantasy history of our nation as a massive Leftist collective – so as to justify his continued assault on our national bank balance. "We would not be a great country without those commitments" to Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid Obama absurdly asserted. Which means he thinks we were never great prior to 1935 – when Social Security was unconstitutionally passed into being. Most Americans would, I think, disagree with Obama's ideologically self-serving assessment. President Obama's collectivist assault on the federal budget has in fact been unprecedented. His $1 trillion alleged "stimulus," his budget busting ObamaCare, his bailouts of banks and car companies, Cash for Clunkers, Cash for Caulkers, etc., etc., ad nauseum – will leave us with more debt accumulated in his first term than all 43 of his predecessors COMBINED. To put his fiscal insanity in perspective, some numbers: 2007 Federal Budget: $2.73 trillion. Note: This was the last all Republican budget – the House, Senate and White House were at the time all run by the Rs. 2011 Federal Budget: $3.82 trillion. Note: This is an estimated total. Because the Democrats that were at the time running the House, Senate and White House didn't write a budget – because they were afraid to go on the record with how much they actually wanted to spend in advance of the 2010 election. Meaning – it could have been WORSE. That is a $1.09 TRILLION increase – in just the last four years. A 29% increase – in just the last four years. As we have all along said – it's not a revenue problem, it's a SPENDING problem. An Obama "solution" to this problem- largely of his making – appears to be a tax rate hike. A desired return to the Clinton-era 39% tax rate on the "wealthy." The vast majority of whom – looking at the "necessarily skyrocketing" prices the Obama Economy has produced for gasoline, food, rent, mortgages and a whole host of other Obama Era luxuries – would be surprised to learn that they are in Obama Speak "wealthy." So we the Right offer a proposal. We'll return to the Clinton-era tax hike rate – if we can also return to the Clinton-era rate of government spending. 2001 Federal Budget: $1.9 trillion. Deal?

| | HHS Plans for Health Care Redistribution using RaceScotty Starnes | April 13, 2011 at 8:39 PM | Tags: Health and Human Service, HHS, race-based health care, The Affordable Care Act | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-52r |
Obama's Health and Human Services has the audacity to believe they can make all people equally healthy. They believe they have the power to reduce "health disparites" among racial and ethnic minorities.
From HHS.gov
Objective: Outlines goals, strategies and actions HHS will take to reduce health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities. It builds on provisions of the Affordable Care Act which will help address the needs of racial and ethnic minority populations by bringing down health care costs, investing in prevention and wellness, supporting improvements in primary care, and creating linkages between the traditional realms of health and social services.
I feel discriminated against. I want cheap health insurance too.
Issue: A health disparity is a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage. Racial and ethnic minorities still lag behind in many health outcome measures. They are less likely to get the preventive care they need to stay healthy, more likely to suffer from serious illnesses, such as diabetes or heart disease, and when they do get sick, are less likely to have access to quality health care. Disparities are documented in many conditions, including: cardiovascular disease, asthma, diabetes, flu, infant mortality, cancer, HIV/AIDS, chronic lower respiratory diseases, viral hepatitis, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, kidney disease, injury deaths, violence, behavioral health, and oral health.
Is the HHS going to mandate that minorities get preventative care or face a fine? This is what they are doing if individuals don't buy government-approved health insurance. HHS acts as if 'others' don't suffer from the ailments above.
Highlights: Within the framework of the HHS Action Plan, the five overall goals for reducing disparities and associated action steps include:
- Transform Health Care: Action steps include expanding insurance coverage, increasing access to care through development of new service delivery sites and introducing quality initiatives such as increased utilization of medical homes.
- Strengthen the Nation's Health and Human Services Workforce: Action steps include a new pipeline program for recruiting undergraduates from underserved communities for public health and biomedical sciences careers, expanding and improving health care interpreting and translation, and supporting more training of community health workers, such as promotoras.
- Advance the Health, Safety and Well-Being of the American People: Action steps include implementing the CDC's new Community Transformation Grants, and additional targeted efforts to achieve improvements in cardiovascular disease, childhood obesity, tobacco-related diseases, maternal and child health, flu and asthma.
- Advance Scientific Knowledge and Innovation: Action steps include implementing a new health data collection and analysis strategy authorized by the Affordable Care Act, and increasing patient-centered outcomes research.
- Increase the Efficiency, Transparency and Accountability of HHS Programs: Actions steps include ensuring that assessments of policies and programs on health disparities will become part of all HHS decision-making. Evaluations will measure progress toward reducing health disparities.
The Affordable Care Act offers the potential to meet these goals and address the needs of racial and ethnic minority populations.
And here I thought the health care system was designed to protect us all. Remember, all these new programs and treatments will not add to the deficit (sarcasm). Race-based health care brought to us by the Obama regime.
