By Michael Bastasch California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein — a staunch supporter of Gun Control — may soon regret not registering her own domain name,
since senatorfeinstein.com will now be run by a firearm parts and
accessories store that will use the site to promote gun rights. “COMING SOON! Senator Feinstein’s Biggest Fan Page,” reads the title
of the new pro-gun site, senatorfeinstein.com. “Someone didnt [sic] register their own name… This should be fun. Thats right Dianne your biggest fan site is going to be run by AresArmor.com…” The domain name was created by California resident Dimitrios Karras on Jan. 4, 2013, according to GoDaddy.com. Karros is the CEO of the gun parts and accessories store Ares Armor, which will now run the site. “It’s funny,” Karras told the Daily Caller News Foundation, adding
that his company was not very good at political correctness. “This is
going to be an entertaining thing.” Karras said that he was frustrated when he saw how Feinstein and
other members of Congress managed the commenters that criticize them on
their Facebook pages, and that he wanted to have platform where people
could say whatever they wanted. “[Feinstein's] got a big mouth on her, she thinks she’s pretty much
the queen of the state. She almost thinks she’s the queen of the
country,” he said. “What we’re most likely going to do with this is, literally leave it
open-ended,” Karras told TheDC News Foundation. “We’re going to put up a
few posts and everything like that, but we’re not going to be
moderating any of the comments. So it’s one of those things where people
are going to be able say whatever the heck they want.” “My thing is I may not agree with what people have to say, but I’m going to defend to the death their right to say it,” he said. However, senatorfeinstein.com is not the only domain name Karras
registered, telling TheDC that the next domain name to be released will
be for California Sen. Barbara Boxer. “She’s not the only one that we registered,” Karras said. “She’s just the first one that we’ve released.” Feinstein — the author of the Assault Weapons Ban bill that expired
in 2004 — has promised to introduce updated gun control legislation
early this year, according to a statement. “On the first day of the new Congress, I intend to introduce a bill
stopping the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of assault
weapons as well as large ammunition magazines, strips and drums that
hold more than 10 rounds,” said Feinstein. “I am in the process of
gathering support for the bill in the Senate and House.”
If you're not reading Public Discourse
every day, you should rectify that. Each day, a different professor or
intellectual takes on a pressing topic about issues in the public
square. Sometimes the site hosts an ongoing debate (on the ethics of
enhanced interrogation or undercover journalism). Today, professor
Anthony Esolen argues that our government has failed to admit that its
own selfishness is the root of many societal problems it has attempted
to address.
In Philadelphia, about half of all students in ninth grade will
graduate from high school. The dropout rate is especially high among
black and Hispanic boys. President Obama's answer to this problem is
typical of the left: compulsion. Make dropping out illegal. In other
words, force boys who are learning nothing to remain where they are
learning nothing, to help make sure that nobody else learns anything,
either. If they drop out anyway, turn them into criminals to be rounded up. All this would cost a great deal of money,
which Philadelphia does not have. And even if you could compel the boy,
seething with resentment and contempt, to occupy a desk in a dreary
schoolroom, you cannot compel him to learn. To try is a distant,
"technological" response to a human problem. It is a way to pretend to
generosity, while keeping those who suffer from your heedlessness far
from your sight and smell.
He goes on to talk about how Philadelphia is on some
kind of jihad against the Boy Scouts -- and the back story to that is
unique and sad. But no matter. The Boy Scouts are of the mind that it's
possibly unwise to put adolescent boys in close contact with men who are sexually attracted to men. And you know what that means:
But the Philadelphia city council does not care about such
things, because, when called upon to choose between their sexual
antinomianism and the welfare of
boys--many of whom only a group like the Boy Scouts can save from
gangs--they will choose their preferred form of lawlessness every time,
without regard for the common good. This shouldn't surprise
anyone, because for the last fifty years, even before Lyndon Johnson's
disastrous War on Poverty, technocratic managers, mainly but not
exclusively on the left, have been building a system of mutual
parasitism, funded by taxes. One
group profits, in power, from the profligacy of the other, which it
"rewards" with money confiscated from the general public. They thus gain
millions of publicly funded jobs to manage the people whom their
policies have corrupted, and they move far away from those people,
assuaging their consciences by voting correctly and holding correct
opinions. Their hands do not get dirty.
We can imagine that the end game might not be ideal
here. Esolen asks what, on the dreadful day of eventual doom, that
Philadelphia boy will say to the elites who ignored him and profited
from his confusion. It's long, but here are some excerpts:
"I needed a good school, and you trapped me in a bad one, while
you sent your own children elsewhere. When some people suggested a way
for me to go to a Catholic school where I'd have a chance of learning
something, you cried up the separation of church and state. You didn't
actually believe that you would be setting up any church as a state
institution. It is just that you hated the Church a lot more than you
loved me. "I once lived in a real city neighborhood. The houses needed repair,
so you called it a slum, and you tore it down. Then you built housing
projects with all the beauty and safety of a parking garage. When these
became hotbeds of crime, you tore them down too. "You declared a War on Poverty, aimed at me, when you should have declared a War on Vice, aimed first of all at yourselves. "You
loved your vice more than you loved me. You could afford your vices,
but I could not. Your vices made your lives, as you thought, more
exciting. I did not have your cushion of wealth, so the same vices
destroyed me. "I was lonely, and you bought me a whore. My sisters were lonely, and you made them into whores... "I
needed to learn to calculate, and you handed me a machine that would do
it for me, and prevent me from understanding what I was doing. I needed
to learn to read, and would have liked adventure tales for boys, but
you gave me feminist propaganda, or comic books. "I needed a
father, but you preferred your fun. You passed laws that would reward my
mother for not marrying my father. You hated marriage, because marriage
brings a man into a family, and marriage restrains. You winked and
smiled while my mother brought a series of irresponsible men into my
life, none of whom was my father. They were dangerous. When they grew
violent, you herded them into your corral, which you called 'Domestic
Violence.' You refused to distinguish between husbands and these others.
Thus did you continue to tear marriage down, and subject me and mine to
more of the violence you pretended to decry... "I needed a coach,
to keep me in line during the difficult years, but you cut my teams and
rosters. You called it 'fairness' to my sisters, and hugged yourselves
for your enlightenment. "I needed a father to show me how to love women, and you gave me porn... "I needed a married mother and father, what every child needs, what every child has a right to, and you told me to go to hell. "I went to hell, and have brought it back with me."
What is striking about this is how this elite
destruction is looked at -- within the echo chamber -- as good,
tolerant, kind and generally worthy of praise. We've seen many
advancements in society and it would be wrong to deny that. But when you
look at the condition of boys in the inner city, what's happened is a
scandal. It's almost overwhelming how much work is needed to reverse
what we've wrought -- all in the name of "charity" -- but can we really
turn a blind eye to this? Q13 FOX ABOUT US KCPQ/Q13 FOX is the Fox-affiliated television station serving
the Seattle-Tacoma, Wash., market. Licensed to Tacoma, it broadcasts a
high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 13 from a transmitter on
Gold Mountain in Bremerton. Owned by the Tribune Company, KCPQ is sister
to MyNetworkTV affiliate KZJO and the two stations share studios on the
west shore of Lake Union in Seattle’s Westlake neighborhood. KCPQ adopted its now-familiar Q13 branding in 1980. In 1986,
KCPQ became one of the first affiliates of the Fox Broadcasting Company.
As the Fox network’s viewership and ratings grew in the 1990s, KCPQ
gained prominence as a major broadcaster in the local Seattle market. The current news operation began January 19, 1998, when it launched a
new 35-minute 10 p.m. program, which initially ran on Sunday-Thursday.
KCPQ also launched a morning newscast on January 17, 2000, which
eventually expanded to its current 5-1/2 hour telecast. On March 31,
2008, the station launched a 9 p.m. newscast on KZJO (formerly KMYQ). In
June 2011, KCPQ added a 5 p.m. newscast. Washington’s Most Wanted, hosted by anchor David Rose, also airs on KCPQ and KZJO. The Tribune Company acquired KCPQ in August 1998. Following the
purchase of channel 13, Tribune merged KCPQ’s operations with those of
KTWB-TV (channel 22, now KZJO). The two stations became co-owned in
1999, after the FCC approved same-market duopolies. Since the Seattle Seahawks move to the NFC from the AFC in 2002, KCPQ airs the majority of Seahawks regular season games.
