Thanks for this post. The key take-away is “swift and concerted action” is required. The left doesn’t expect pusshback. They’ve been dealing with pushovers [looking at you, McConnell and Boehner] for so long that they expect to be able to say and do whatever they want without opposition. Time to “punch back twice as hard”.
Nicely handled and well done.
I put this on the list of things that conservative politicians will have to deal with in the future, by enacting *criminal* sanctions against, to start with, governmental organizations that collect such data solely because they want to.
I figure it will have to be part of an enormous and powerful “Database Control Act”, in which the keeping of the personal information of individuals, especially customers, can only be done legally with a *written*, not computer “opt in”, and that those individuals must be notified, at given intervals depending on the information, that such information of theirs is part of a given database, which they must opt-into again or it must be deleted.
Part two of the DCA will be to require all federal agencies to keep personal information about citizens in just a single agency, with only the information they are authorized to have available to them. And all such personal information, except as relates to criminal matters, should be available to any citizen by FOIA request.
Part three will be the authority of citizens to correct errors by an auditing process, based on written evidence.
Counter with a state-by-state list of the addresses, car tags and phone numbers of liberal lawyers, activists, journalist & politicians earning over $100K, or with a net worth of over $1 million.
“Revealing information” can be a two way street.
You done good.
Well done.
Thank you for your communication and this post.
Well done!
well done
Well done! Freerepublic.com at its very best.
That Civitas editor suddenly has a very different image of Second Amendment supporters, or is at least aware that we too can deploy information technology in defense of our beliefs.
I really think libs are trying to push us into another civil war. Everything they do seems designed to ratchet up tensions, to dissolve more and more of the Constitution, and - via the most outrageous and unchallenged (by the media) rhetoric (e.g., Cuomo) - to provoke a violent response.
What would be the point of publishing the names of concealed carry permit holders? Defamation? Ridicule? What in the world are you thinking, Mr. Lawitz?
Sorted things out like gentlemen... a rare thing in today’s world.
Kudos! for all the right reasons.
Two can play this game. Let’s consider a state by state database of the names and home addresses of newspaper editors and reporters.
If they are going to spend a small fortune building a database of Consealed Carry Permit holders, they have an agenda. I don’t know what it is yet. My first guess is they are going for a financial gain. If that is not correct, keep a real close eye on them because they have a socialist agenda.
