The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The BATFE should just hold a going out of business sale and then call it quits.
So, it's against the law to "hurt morale"? Are they even trying to claim the book is untruthful?
Hoo wooda thunk it.
Ping.
If they can prohibit anything because it might ‘hurt morale’, someone needs to take our boyKing in hand and prohibit him. He is determined to destroy morale in the entire country. I am reminded of the phrase ‘the daily beatings will continue until morale improves’. He seems to relish hurting patriotic Americans.
Was I naïve, or did we lose it all in less than 20 years?
If I’m gonna’ live out my days in a totalitarian hellhole, I’ll take Cuba over the USSA. Beautiful women, cool cars, warm weather. And the faint hope of freedom.

We should leave politics to the lefties and try to reform the ACLU. They’re on our side more & more often. We should be allies.
Hurt your morale? FU BATFE. How’s that feel on your morale?
Ah, it would hurt their MORALE, yes.
I wonder how it feels to have your biz raided for no reason, all your property seized, and your name tarnished..? That’s after they break into your house, smashing everything, pointing guns at your head, and then imprisoning you.
And they do that to your wife and your child, also.
Then they say you’ll get seperate trials and they hold you incommunicado.
Or....I wonder how morale is if they kill your son, and shoot your wife in the head as she holds your baby..? That probably hurts your feelings pretty badly, I’d say. And then they fly over your cabin with a huge fuel bladder, threatening to burn the whole place to a crisp...
Or...maybe they DO burn your place to a crisp, along with almost 100 other people inside, including many kids, eh? Cuz your brand of Christianity sort of weirds them out...
I’d bet that would really, REALLY hurt your morale, right?
This report SOUNDS like a joke, but against all reason they really do take their feelings quite seriously.
“The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is blocking the main whistleblower in the Fast and Furious case from publishing a book for pay, claiming his retelling of the Mexico gun-walking scandal will hurt morale inside the embattled law enforcement agency, according to documents obtained by The Washington Times.”
I wonder which furloughed employees are following up on this. Apparently, gagging whistleblowers is an “essential” function of the Obama administration.
Not only does the Constitution not contain any words even vaguely capably of being construed as protecting the citizen from being “offended”, it also does not discuss protecting the “morale” of either agency, agencyperson or just plain citizen.
We have fully become the Soviet Union. Only a brief time before the Gulags are set up.
Damn that pesky first amendment. Arrange for him to have an accident. Nothing blatant.
Article says the ATF first denied on July 17. Then deial upheld internally four days later.
My question is what happened between then and now.
