Fast and Furious Victims' Voices Live On Through Their Families

Since the Obama administration took up residence in D.C., that world of law and order has slipped away. No other action by higher-ups has demonstrated this near-total breakdown of checks and balances more than Operation Fast and Furious.

Our representatives on Capitol Hill are so hopelessly flawed, our mainstream journalists so ethically challenged, and our citizens so desensitized to corruption that a government-initiated program transferring high-powered weapons to vicious Mexican drug cartels, who would in all likelihood use them to murder innocent human beings, seems like business as usual.

For months a hypnotized media has called the operation a "botched sting." When questioned about the scandal, a majority of Americans draw a blank. Only dedicated online alternative journalists and a few major outlets like Fox News keep on connecting the dots.

This tenacious bunch is determined not to let the story die along with the victims.

For them and most of us, it is the fierce and heroic goodness we see in the photos of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and ICE Agent Jaime Zapata that has left some mark on us.

"The victims of Operation Fast and Furious are speaking from their graves, through honest journalists, grief-stricken parents, and awakened Americans who have had enough of the cover-up."

The only thing botched about this operation was when they got caught at it.

They planned to use this to rid us of our 2nd. Amendment rights. The whole thing went according to plan until some agents sickened by it started to sing.

In fact we will never know, with any certainty, just how many people have and will die as a direct result of the obozo regimes attempt to enact more gun controls.

When I ask friends, they have no clue what I'm talking about with Fast & Furious.

Thank God for Free Republic and other "alternative media" or else we would be completely in the dark.

Think about that for a second. No knowledge about Fast & Furious, or Solyndra, or the Siga vaccine scandal, or a hundred other scandals that the media won't touch. And we only know about them because of the Internet.

Oh wait, doesn't Obummer now have a "kill switch" for the Internet?

Be afraid.
