ND Sheriff Calls in US Border Control Predator B Drone to Execute Search for $6K in Rustled Beef
Reminds me of Lincoln starting a civil war over a dead horse at Ft. Sumter.
Note the prominent emphasis on "law enforcement" at this government website (link). The use of military weaponry for law enforcement is the modus operandi of the US government at least since the Clinton regime used tanks to crush the Branch Davidians in Waco. 911 gave the strategy new impetus under the Bush regime, and the starry eyed leftist dupes who voted for Obama have witnessed nothing but a continuation of Bush policies under Obama building on the Patriot Act.
The crime here was a lousy misdemeanor offense, and escalated into a felony in part because of the sheriff's actions. More ominously, Federal level quasi-military resources were mobilized against citizens. The militarization of units of the FBI, DHS and BATFE, among others, is all part of the same pattern of Federals crossing the line into military tyranny (Is there any other kind?).
The LA Times has the story (link):
Armed with a search warrant, Nelson County Sheriff Kelly Janke went looking for six missing cows on the Brossart family farm in the early evening of June 23. Three men brandishing rifles chased him off, he said.
Janke knew the gunmen could be anywhere on the 3,000-acre spread in eastern North Dakota. Fearful of an armed standoff, he called in reinforcements from the state Highway Patrol, a regional SWAT team, a bomb squad, ambulances and deputy sheriffs from three other counties.
He also called in a Predator B drone.

America is Not Either Or, It's Both And
Bill Clinton once shot back at black incitement to violence against whites, and wore it as a badge of a non-extreme third way ever thereafter. His critics would say his sincerity was on full display in Waco and Kosovo.
The founders had already discovered a third way of their own, however, and had called it America:
The founders had already discovered a third way of their own, however, and had called it America:
The third model of human nature is found in the thinking of the American founders. “If men were angels,” wrote James Madison, the father of the Constitution, in Federalist Paper No. 51, “no government would be necessary.” But Madison and the other founders knew men were not angels and would never become angels. They believed instead that human nature was mixed, a combination of virtue and vice, nobility and corruption. People were swayed by both reason and passion, capable of self-government but not to be trusted with absolute power. The founders’ assumption was that within every human heart, let alone among different individuals, are competing and sometimes contradictory moral impulses and currents.
Thanks to one of those contradictory moral impulses, the American Revolutionaries shot back using real bullets when Redcoat extremists came to assert the absolute power of the Crown, not unlike the Korean Americans who took to the rooftops in Los Angeles in 1992 to defend their property against rioters. Americans at their best recognize that sometimes absolutism must be met with force, and don't lie about it or apologize for it.

Don't miss the rest of "Human Nature and Capitalism" here.

It All Depends On What The Meaning Of "They" Is
The Boston Herald editorial staff pointed out yesterday how Bill Clinton's recent attempt to vilify the whole Tea Party Movement depended, as usual, on the slick use of a single term, "they."
By that sleight of hand, Clinton hoped to convey the notion of equivalency between Timothy McVeigh and the Tea Parties, presupposing that a whole movement existed behind McVeigh when in reality he had "one accomplice and two other individuals who knew of his plans."
The Tea Party Movement, by contrast, is enormous, is Everyman, and must be one hell of a threat if the inventor of the politics of personal destruction at Waco has to be trotted out to join the battle.
We'll see you on the battlefield, in November, creep.

Bill Clinton's War Crimes
A fine one to warn us about other people's character and motives. He was lucky he was impeached only for perjury, and ended up losing his law license for five years, when he should have been convicted of a crime against humanity.
Saddam Hussein gassed Kurds.
Bill Clinton gassed American kids.
