"Throughout the 2008 and 2012 campaigns, President Obama promised to transform America into something better, a land filled with hope and change. It appears, however, that the man who vacations in Martha's Vineyard, golfs with Tiger Woods, and sends the Secret Service to accompany his wife and daughters on international vacations to Spain, Mexico, and now the Bahamas has another agenda in mind. He seeks to transform constitutional presidential authority into royal prerogative. Judging by the failure of any media source other than Breitbart, Drudge, and Instapundit to cover this story, it is also quite clear that the mainstream media has decided to play the role of dutiful courtiers to this expansion of presidential powers....." - Big Journalism

The statistics in this graphic are correct, I assume, though they are incomplete. I’m not disputing their correctness. I am disputing the intent of those who created this graphic & the fact that it implies, which is that the USA is a far more murderous nation than any other simply because of the fact that we can personally own guns.
I Googled the 2011 population of each of these nations and divided it by the numbers of murders by gun given in the graphic. Below are the percentages, per capita, of murders by gun for each nation:
Finland: 0003%
Australia: 0002%
England: 00007%
Spain: 0001%
Germany: 0002%
Canada: 0005%
And …
USA: 003%
Yes, the USA has more deaths by gun, per capita, than all these other industrialized nations. But the difference is in the thousandths of a percentage point. Statistically, the USA simply does not experience a significantly greater number of murders by gun than these other nations. At all. Why? Because our population is significantly greater than all these other nations. Do you hear that Piers Morgan?
See what knowing the facts, actual empirical evidence, does? Kinda changes the way you look at this graphic, doesn’t it?
And if the Brady Bunch and their minions were to get their way, you can be sure there would be a lot more tragedies like THIS.
Oberlin College's “Day of Solidarity” was sparked by a student who reported seeing a person wearing what appeared to be a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe near the college's African Heritage House while driving through campus between 1 and 2 a.m.
College security officers responded to the area, but weren’t able to find a person wearing the infamous KKK garb.
Oberlin police Lt. Mike McCloskey said that authorities did find a pedestrian wrapped in a blanket. He said police interviewed another witness later in the day and that person also saw a female walking with a blanket.
Lt Mike McCloskey of Oberlin police told the Guardian on Monday that officers were still following up the KKK sighting, but suggested that the only witness may have been mistaken.After the 1950s, the press slowly figured out that it shouldn't get too worked-up over things like flying-saucer sightings. But Klansman on the campus of what is perhaps the most frenetically liberal college in America? Nobody much cares whether this horrifying hate crime went through the formality of actually taking place. This non-event has received enormous publicity ( Matt Lauer talked it up on NBC's Today Show), just like all the other campus hate hoaxes and hysterias, because so many people want it to be true.

MEMO
FROM: Senior Staff
TO: Cabinet Secretaries
RE: Sequester Messaging:
Dear cabinet secretary OR unpaid intern who opens cabinet secretary’s mail while he snorkels with solar industry lobbyists in the Caymans.
Unfortunately, recent weeks have revealed that the intractability of Republicans in Congress will likely lead to sweeping cuts to the federal budget as of March 1. Needless to say, forcing the federal government to subsist on $3.5 trillion dollars a year represents an unprecedented exercise in austerity. Preparations are even being made to drop unlimited texting from ObamaPhones.
Over the coming weeks, the messaging of this topic will be extremely important. It is imperative that we let the American people know – in unambiguous terms – how severe the threat is. At times, this may require you to take a message to the public that represents a slight exaggeration of the actual circumstances. This will be done in the interest of the greater good of the American people. Should you have ethical objections, consider yourself welcome to explore your opportunities outside of the Obama Administration. Ask Jon Huntsman how that works out – if you can get a hold of him between the Rotary Club events he’s keynoting.
What follows are Department-specific advisories on both the actual cuts you face and the threatened cuts that you should present to the public:
Department of Justice:
Threatened Cuts: Releasing federal inmates (feel free to make vague “Silence of the Lambs” references); Dropping prosecutions of violent criminals; Converting over to Soviet-style show trials to ease judicial backlog.
Actual Cuts: Halving “Just for Men” budget for Attorney General Holder’s mustache.
Department of Education:
Threatened Cuts: Widespread teacher layoffs; Students forced to fashion own pencils out of lead slabs; Classes now held in forests full of starving wolves.
Actual Cuts: Teacher lounges forced to use Folger’s Crystals.
Department of Health and Human Services:
Threatened Cuts: Reduction in medical services for the chronically ill; Hospice care now provided by prisoners re-entering society; Reintroduction of leeches.
Actual Cuts: Flintstone’s chewable vitamins will no longer include Barney Rubble.
"Mattel (NASDAQ: MAT) is on an historic mission that will likely anger some of Wall Street’s favorite big caps. Mattel is trying to do away with the barbaric practice of chomping off bunny ears and instead have those little eargnashers (i.e. children) play with the toys from their Easter baskets. As their YouTube video explains, according to the good folks at the Endangered Chocolate Bunny Commission (ECBC) chocolate bunnies are near extinction."
"On one hand, it’s kinda disturbing they’d use this outlet for Biden to “get his message out” rather than going the mainstream media route – after all, this is the “most open, honest, and accountable administration EVAH!!!”
I look forward to the parody videos of this from the vast number of witty, creative conservatives who are out there. Let the “Being Biden” games begin!" - Sister Toldjah
Keeping with his theme of rotting America from the inside, Obama plans to move another dose of leftist disease into a more powerful administration position:
Meet Thomas Perez.
Dear Leader has tapped this radical leftist lawyer Perez to be the next Secretary Of Labor. This scumbag is now an assistant attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice. Yeah, Eric Holder's D.O.J. Here's a little background on Mr. Perez:from The American Thinker
"Perez led the Obama administration's assault on voter ID laws last year. As John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky report in Who's Counting, as a member of the Montgomery County, Md., Council in 2003 he also tried to force governments to accept fraud-prone matricula consular ID cards issued by Mexican consular offices. He was a board member of Casa de Maryland, an advocacy group for illegal aliens funded by George Soros and the recently deceased Hugo Chavez.
Under Perez, the DOJ Civil Rights Division has refused to prosecute hate crimes committed against white Americans. He was reportedly instrumental in the Justice Department's dismissal of a case involving two Philadelphia-based members of the New Black Panther Party who intimidated white voters on Election Day 2008....."More about the Panther case and an interesting recently released report on other race based justice cases can be read at PJ Media.
"Perez is apparently in favor of Saudi-style anti-blasphemy laws. In Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries offenders can be condemned to death merely for insulting Islam. Amazingly, at a congressional hearing last year, Perez pointedly declined to rule out bringing such laws to the United States. At the July 27, 2012, meeting of the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution, Perez refused to say whether he would uphold the religious speech protections in the First Amendment in the future.
Perez, like so many Obama administration officials, believes that America is a seething hotbed of "Islamophobia," filled with ignorant racist rubes who irrationally fear the Muslim religion. He has worked with hardcore Islamist groups such as the terrorist-linked Islamic Society of North America and applauded Islamists for lobbying against airline security measures...." Read More Here
Islamic radical friendly, advocate for illegals, doesn't believe in equal protection under the law for all races, educated in the nest of worms called Harvard Law.......yeah, he should fit right in and be in a more powerful cabinet position in which to influence the rotting away from within agenda for America that is well underway.
