GOP ‘Sons-A-Bitches’ Going Soft On Gunwalking, Says Blogger Who Broke ‘Fast And Furious’

Mike Vanderboegh is drinking Diet Mountain Dew in the cafeteria of the Rayburn building on Capitol Hill, and he is pissed.

Not because his flight from Alabama was almost “as bumpy as [his] first marriage,” nor because he almost got into a physical altercation with an “idiot street urban adventurer” outside the National Archives who said Vanderboegh looked like Newt Gingrich.

The former militia man turned gun rights blogger is angry because he thinks the Republican “sons-a-bitches” on the House Oversight Committee put on the “ultimate display of public limp dickery” during a Thursday hearing in which Attorney General Eric Holder testified about ATF’s botched Operation Fast and Furious.

There's a lot more at the link, but here's a couple of pull-quotes from Vanderboegh that I thought particularly salient:

“My sources, after this thing broke, told me that the whole thing emerged in the offices of Rahm Emmanuel,” Vanderboegh said. “They were frustrated that mass shootings in the United States had not generated the political will for more gun controls, so they were playing around with the idea, ‘how do we do this without paying a political price?’"

“If you don’t quote me on anything in this interview, you quote me on this: if the rule of law does not protect the people from the government, it doesn’t protect the government from the people, alright,” Vanderboegh said.

“The rule of law has to work both ways, or it’s the law of the jungle, and there are people who can see that, and there are people who can interpret that. And there are people who, frankly, have quit listening to me when I tell them to be patient,” he continued.

Though I am a charter member of this site, I haven't spent much time here since it opened in '07. I don't know what you know about, or what you think about, militia-types in general, or Mike Vanderboegh specifically, or his website, Sipsey Street Irregulars. I don't see much (if any) chatter about militias around here, and I don't know if that's because they're not highly thought of, there's just not a lot of participants who belong to them, or maybe I just started coming back around in the midst of a dearth of posts about them, don't know. I do not belong to one myself (I'm pushin' 60), but believe strongly that they are important and necessary to this country.

Anyway, Mike Vanderboegh is the man who broke the Fast & Furious story. He is a fellow Alabamian whose speaking engagements I have attended on several occasions. If you think militias are stupid, populated by fat rednecks just looking for an excuse to shoot up the woods and/or get in fights just for the fun of it, you will likely view Vanderboegh as the quintessential, stereotypical militia man. That would be your loss.

Mike Vanderboegh has both the blood and spirit of the original militia men running through his veins. He's an engaging man who speaks effortlessly without notes usually, and can draw on profound quotes of original Patriots from memory, and apply those profundities to today's dire circumstances. I hope those of you who are not aware of his role in the Fast & Furious story will peruse his blog and get to know him. In doing so, you will get to know the mindset of those of us who consider ourselves the Three Percenters, which, though too-few, will always be the tip of the spear should the modern Patriot Movement be called upon, or call upon itself, to activate.

I would have to learn more face value isn't too shocking becuase what I can agree on is that politically elected republicans have, for years now, needed a heavy prescription dose of mycoxsaflopin or at least a shot of mydixasaggin. They can't stand up tall on any principles. At least Obama has kept after his political agenda steadily and unwavering which is about the only good thing that can be said about him: unwavering and steadfast determination, unfortunately it is aimed at destroying america as we used to know it.

BluesStringer,
Militias, by in large or at least the one I am familiar with, are God fearing, freedom loving, Bill of Rights supporting, (mostly) law abiding, survival minded, hard training family men (and some women) who you would NOT know are affiliated with a scary, crazy militia while working beside them or sitting with them at a theater or ball game. They might be your neighbor, your kids coach, the mail delivery person or supermarket cashier. ...Of course, they might be watching you 24/7 with the newest generation night vision or IR. hehe

Wow, those two drugs sound bad. They might lead to having to endure heavy doses of noassatall. ;-)

Imagine If Barry would have channeled his so called charisma for “good” rather than for the “evil” of mankind how he would have placed himself as the greatest leader. Instead, like all Mentally deranged Libererals they shoot themselves in the foot! "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder". Once you understand them they are easy to spot, like a rat in the night stealing your food. The rats can be you next door neighbor. Here in Decatur Ga. government workers (tax payer Funded)(trash disposal engineers) are encourage to notify local zoninging if they see constuction going on without permits or even suspicious activity....and they will get a bonus. Nogod, you need not reply we all know your a red diapers baby and wil bring up something about breaking the Law......it is all about Government Control over the sheeple.

Bill by Bill We are being intercoursed.

Wait.... maybe we should talk about if a 9mm is a better defence round then a 38 special!

I know the feeling, doc, but sometimes a diversion from political reality, such as a discussion as silly as a caliber or gun war, is a welcome thing. My head wants to explode when i read this news story or that news story regarding our country purposefully being economically and militarily knee-capped. The goofy crap I read (and write) here can help reduce the pressure, even if sometimes we have to put up with a wing nut or two needing a (red) diaper change...
