From Red Flag News
One scandal after another. I submit that if any previous administration even had one of the Obama-Holder-Clinton scandals, then that administration would have been gone - like Nixon. Instead we have the Obama Administration which gets away with lying to the American people on a daily basis, ruling through executive fiat since most of his radical agenda cannot be enacted through laws,....and surviving scandal after scandal. There will be another one tomorrow or the next day, I assure you.
This Red Flag news report is how Obama denied knowing anything about Fast and Furious, yet is able to place his papers and e-mails concerning Fast and Furious under Executive Priviledge, and how Holder is trying to protect this travesty from seeing the light of day. It is simple: If Obama knew nothing of Fast and Furious then he would not have any e-mails or correspondance to place under Executive Priviledge!
Attorney General Eric Holder and his Department of Justice have asked a federal court to indefinitely delay a lawsuit brought by watchdog group Judicial Watch. The lawsuit seeks the enforcement of open records requests relating to Operation Fast and Furious, as required by law.
Judicial Watch had filed, on June 22, 2012, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking all documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious and “specifically [a]ll records subject to the claim of executive privilege invoked by President Barack Obama on or about June 20, 2012.”
The administration has refused to comply with Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, and in mid-September the group filed a lawsuit challenging Holder’s denial. That lawsuit remains ongoing but within the past week President Barack Obama’s administration filed what’s called a “motion to stay” the suit. Such a motion is something that if granted would delay the lawsuit indefinitely.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said that Holder’s and Obama’s desire to continually hide these Fast and Furious documents is “ironic” now that they’re so gung-ho on gun control. “It is beyond ironic that the Obama administration has initiated an anti-gun violence push as it seeking to keep secret key documents about its very own Fast and Furious gun walking scandal,” Fitton said in a statement. “Getting beyond the Obama administration’s smokescreen, this lawsuit is about a very simple principle: the public’s right to know the full truth about an egregious political scandal that led to the death of at least one American and countless others in Mexico. The American people are sick and tired of the Obama administration trying to rewrite FOIA law to protect this president and his appointees. Americans want answers about Fast and Furious killings and lies.”
Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

New York Dems Face More Scandals in State Senate
From the Washington Free Beacon Staff, on May 7th, 2013. The arrest of New York State Democratic Sen. John Sampson is the latest scandal to rock the Democratic caucus in the state Senate, reports the New York Times:
The arrest on Monday of Senator John L. Sampson of Brooklyn, who was charged with embezzlement and other crimes, was the second time in barely a month that a former leader of the Senate Democratic caucus was accused of corruption by federal prosecutors. The senator whom Mr. Sampson succeeded in 2009 as Democratic leader, Malcolm A. Smith of Queens, was charged last month with trying to bribe his way onto the ballot for mayor of New York City.
But his arrest is another embarrassment for the scandal-plagued Senate Democratic caucus, and it appears likely to provide additional ammunition to Republicans, who have argued in past campaigns that Democrats cannot be trusted to run the chamber.
Several former Senate Democrats made news in the past for scandals involving the use of taxpayer money to pay for takeout sushi and shopping trips.
What the hell is up with New York Democrats? Oh I get it, they are setting the standard for the rest of the Democrats in the State Legislatures!

Gun Related Comapnies Leaving Colorado
As reported by the Free Beacon, two Colorado Companies making gun parts or accessories are moving or going to move from Colorado following the passing of draconian anti-gun legislation.
HiViz Shooting Systems, a gun-parts manufacturer in Fort Collins, Colo., will move its operations up the road to Laramie, Wyo., making good on its threat to pull up its Colorado roots after Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law several controversial gun control measures earlier this year.
Of the businesses planning to leave the state for the same reason, HiViz is the first to announce its new home.
“The decision to relocate the company was difficult, and choosing the proper location was essential to our continued growth within the industry,” said president and CEO Phillip Howe in a press release. “We look forward to settling into our new home in the firearm friendly state of Wyoming.”
Wyoming was chosen not just for its gun-friendly atmosphere, but also its tax advantages and because Laramie is less than an hour from its current location, allowing existing employees the option of commuting.
Construction on HiViz’s new headquarters is expected to start operations this summer.
The most high profile of the companies defecting from Colorado is Magpul Industries, which makes 30-round rifle magazines in small-town Erie, Colo.
One of the bills Hickenlooper signed bans magazines that hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition. The new law goes into effect July 1.
Magpul is expected to announce the location of its new headquarters after the National Rifle Association meeting this weekend in Houston. Wherever its new home, it’s already in operation: The company wrote on its Facebook page this week that gun sights and standard 30-round magazines (called PMAGs) are now being manufactured outside Colorado for the first time.
Magpul employs about 200 people and has been courted by Texas, Wyoming, South Carolina and Utah, to name just a few states eager for its business. Texas Gov. Rick Perry even made a personal appeal to the company.
Now lets get Beretta and LWRC out of Maryland; Remington out of New York; Colt out of Connecticut; Ruger and Springfield Armory out of Illinois.
