January 2015 cannot get here soon enough. That’s when Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) will no longer be a U.S. senator. Harkin will not seek re-election in 2014. That’s good for, at least, two reasons. First, Harkin is a very hard left liberal, and his absence, regardless of who Iowans elect in his place, cannot but help the U.S. Senate. Second, Harkin’s absence will reduce nonsensical statements. On the down side, we will be deprived of a clown at which to laugh. This 1:12 video of Harkin says it all. Harkin denies that we have a spending problem (15 second point). He says, “Is It a Spending Problem? No … It’s a misallocation of capital, a misallocation of wealth.” As if that wasn’t bad enough, Harkin blamed hard-working Americans for the misallocation problem. At the 58 second point, Harkin says, “All of this wealth has been accumulated by hard-working Americans has been accumulated in fewer and fewer hands all the time.” [emphasis mine] So, I guess that in HarkinWorld, being a hard-working American and trying to reap the rewards of your own efforts, to accumulate wealth so you are not dependent upon the government, is bad. But Harkin somehow seems to avoid his own words, thus making him a colossal hypocrite. According to Roll Call, Harkin is number 27 on the roll of richest men in politics, worth $10.5 million. According to Roll Call, “According to Harkin’s financial disclosure forms, his minimum net worth has essentially doubled since 2006 because of his wife’s purchase of about $5 million worth of stock in 2007.” It sure seems to me that $10.5 of capital gives Harkin quite an opportunity to at least begin to correct the misallocation problem. Will we soon hear of an announcement from Harkin’s office? Don’t hold your breath. Harkin’s remarks are simply unbelievable! We would cry if we did not laugh at Harkin’s statement. conservativedailynews.com

Chicago Police Chief launches attack on Guns Save Life & other “gun advocates” February 15, 2013 Chicago’s latest police superintendent / streetlight assassin Garry McCarthy: the guy who claimed that he would train his officers to shoot licensed civilians with guns the guy who claimed a couple of tables full of evil “black guns” were confiscated in the first days of the 2013 when the press noticed the evidence tags were from prior years the guy who was found “guilty” in March 2006 over an traffic altercation he had in 2005 with two New Jersey police officers the guy who was also out drunk again on City Island one evening was shooting out street lights with two other police officers, one of whom was McCarthy’s brother, a New York State Trooper the guy who at the same streetlight assassinating incident used the word “nigger” in telling nearby residents to mind their own business, nearly causing a riot the guy not-so-affectionately known as McShitForBrains to his officers is an unhappy camper about “gun rights advocates” embarrassing him and making him look like a fool as he goes about his merry way running CPD into the ground and demonizing gun owners along the way. Yes, indeed, Guns Save Life is on his radar and under his skin and he’s launched a direct attack at little old us, which officially kicks off this Sunday at 7:00a.m. by accusing us of corruption. Really. Seriously, though, what do you expect from a little bitch like McCarthy? Someone send him some cheese to go with his whining. Top Cop is on the attack against gun rights groups ( WLS-AM) – Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy is on the attack against gun rights groups who oppose new gun control, and he launched the attack here at WLS. Taping Connected to Chicago for Sunday morning at 7, Superintendent McCarthy came up with a novel new way to try to accuse gun rights groups of corruption. “If there was special interests affecting police work, I believe that would be called corruption. So, if it has do with donating money versus a popular vote, I think we have a bigger problem in this country and somebody’s gotta wake up to that,” said McCarthy. For the record: Are we corrupt? We almost blew milk out our nose when we read that we laughed so hard. No. We are not corrupt. And, generally speaking, we don’t think McCarthy is corrupt either in a city where you can’t swing a dead cat in city hall without hitting a half-dozen people involved in a dozen different potential corruption scandals. Is McCarthy incompetent? Yep, we believe so. A philanderer? Certainly. Just ask his wife who is back in New Jersey. A walking liability magnet? You bet. A perfect police chief for the current Mayor? You know it. We shouldn’t be surprised at McCarthy’s Orwellian remarks as they are a manifestation of something he apparently learned as a child, in that if he repeated something enough times, eventually it would be true. As an example, from Garry’s childhood: I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed. I will not wet my bed.
