RedState Briefing 04/11/2013


Morning Briefing
For April 11, 2013


1.  The Toomey-Manchin Proposal Will Allow Doctors to Block Your Right to Guns
The proposal will allow a doctor to add a patient to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) without ever telling the patient he or she has been added.

There would be no due process requirement. Not all doctors will be able to do it with the same ease, but many will. Knowing a doctor could add him to a federal database as mentally ill without his knowledge could potentially dissuade a patient from going to the doctor in the first place to get help.

Worse, if the doctor does so and makes a mistake, the patient would have to actively work through the system to get himself removed — guilty before being proven innocent. In some states, should a doctor flag you as having mental illness without your knowledge, you may very well see the state come collect your previously purchased guns.

Activist mental health providers will probably be overly aggressive in adding people to the list. Give it five years in liberal areas and people who believe in the physical resurrection of Christ will probably get automatic entry onto the list. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 


2.  Missouri Secretly Shares Entire CCW List With Feds Against State Law
Missouri State Senator Kurt Schaefer confirmed yesterday that the Missouri Highway Department did in fact share confidential CCW lists with the federal government in violation of Missouri law. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 


3.  The Busch League Campaign of Elizabeth COLBERT!!!!! Busch Goes Straight to Race Baiting
Elizabeth COLBERT Busch, who if you must know is like OMG Becky she’s Stephen Colbert’s sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!, is taking money from groups who are opposed to Boeing making the 787 in South Carolina.

That’s not playing well. She tried to deflect it by pointing out Mark Sanford got contributions from the same unions. Except . . . well . . . it was actually Sanford Bishop of Georgia and not Mark Sanford.

She’s also basically hiding behind her brother instead of actually campaigning because, OMG her brother is famous!!!!!!!

And now she’s doing what every candidate who’s all hat and no cattle does — going straight to racism. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 

4.  Taxes, Guns, and Chuck Schumer as GOP Leader
Until recently, taxes and guns were the two issues that served as the glue to bind together Republicans of all stripes.  They were the two issues that even feckless elected-Republicans could be counted on to hold the line and stand with conservatives.  But over the past few years, Obama and the Democrats have gotten Republicans to break their impervious opposition to tax increases by supporting “increased revenue” and closing “loopholes.”  Now they are doing the same thing with guns.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post 

5.  Why am I Paying for Obama’s Budget?
In his own words, President Obama said, “We don’t have a spending problem,” and “We do not have an immediate debt crisis.” No wonder his budget proposal continues the same old government gravy train with absolutely no regard for the next generation of taxpayers.

The nation is $17 trillion in debt. Under President Obama’s budget, we’ll see deficits increase close to $100 trillion over the next 75 years. Before the President asks me to put this irresponsible budget on my credit card, I’ve got some questions.

Does Obama’s plan fix our broken entitlement programs that will bankrupt my generation? Nope, just window-dressing.

Does Obama’s budget include any meaningful program cuts or agency consolidations? No, it includes a 6.6 percent increase in spending under the guise of “investment.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post
