+Steel Shooter It's an all or nothing campaign. If I don't reach the goal I don't get the funds.

About the Left and American Sniper
There are two good articles up, one referring to the other, that I'll put up brief excerpts to that are clickable as usual. Please go read both of them.
In a Weekly Standard piece titled, “The ‘American Sniper’ Freakout: Why the Left Can’t Tolerate This Movie,” Mark Hemingway does a fine job of breaking down exactly why the Left either hates “American Sniper” or is dishonestly claiming it is a left-wing movie. It’s a thorough, must-read that perfectly lays out the case. Outside the context of the film itself, there is an additional reason the Left can’t tolerate Eastwood’s masterpiece: every act of apostasy, even one, must be punished.
The Left cannot tolerate dissent. If just one thing sneaks through the institutions the Left is desperate to hold a monopoly on, it is immediately crushed, defamed, mocked, and Frankenstein-villaged until the end of time.
And here is the article he references.
Naturally, the commercial and artistic success of American Sniper—it received six Oscar nominations—has liberal Hollywood deeply conflicted, and pockets of the left outraged. This success can be largely traced to Clint Eastwood’s surefooted direction, as well as Bradley Cooper’s understated and Oscar-worthy performance. But it’s been 13 years since 9/11, and the war on terror has been at the forefront of American culture and politics every day since then. Politics probably explains why it has taken Hollywood this long to make a truly great and popular movie about this war.
Please read of those. They really do offer some illumination into just why people like Michael (The Cookie Monster) Moore and Seth (I can't make a really intelligent funny movie)Rogen.

Many Gun Control Advocates have a psychological condition.
They will never admit that, however if they were psychoanalyzed, I'm quite sure the examining psychiatrist would diagnose them as suffering from "Transference".
That is where a person redirects their own feelings on to others. And we have had many examples of Gun Control Advocates and many run of the mill anti-gun politicians, actors, actresses, business leaders etcetera ad nauseum, who have wished violence onto others who do not agree with them. Hmmm, so they are attributing their own feeling of violence to others.
No WONDER they are against people exercising their Constitutional Rights. Because they can barely control their own violent impulses, they naturally assume that everyone else is the same way.
If you don't agree with their opinion about Global Warming, oh I'm sorry anthropogenic global warming, then you are a denier and must be removed from the planet so as not to taint others with your heresy.
You disagree with Same Sex Marriage? You are disgusting and should be put down like a rabid animal.
You are against "Reasonable Gun Control" You are a serial killer just biding your time until you snap and start killing people and must be disarmed or incarcerated.
These people have a deep psychological problem. They transfer their own beliefs and feeling onto others. They of course are as pure as the driven snow, and you must not question their motives. If you do, it just shows that you are subversive and must be punished.
So keep this thought in the back of your mind if you ever run into one of those virulent gun control advocates, Climate Change, AGW, or any other polarizing issue. They are mentally ill.
And since they are mentally ill, they will assume YOU are mentally ill, and are wrong. Even if you have facts, Data, and everything else to back up your claims.
You are wrong, becasue you are mentally ill just like them.

It's 2:00 a.m. The dogs and cats alert
And the sound they are alerting to has awoken you.
What is the first thing you do?
What is the second?
I'll post my list after the jump.
