| Let’s check in with Angel Adams, the New Socialist Woman. Last we heard, she and her 15 children by at least three fathers, who had been living at public expense at an Economy Inn in Tampa, had been provided with a rent-free six-bedroom home. Rather than show appreciation, Adams continued to moo indignantly that the world owes her. This is what she’s up to now: A woman who is eight-months pregnant with her sixteenth child is claiming police brutality after she says Tampa officers used a stun gun on her. Tampa police arrested Angel Adams, 39, this week and charged... |

| It is said that "an armed society is a polite society". That is true as long as everyone understands and appreciates a citizen's right to bear arms, per the Constitution, and the right to concealed carry, per a majority of state laws across the US, including Florida. It also helps to be in tune with the danger of provoking use of a gun, which many of our newsmakers today (namely, those of the video game generation) fail to comprehend. Unfortunately, as suggested by their usual senselessness, they live in a surreal world where life begins again at the push of... |

Water Guns Banned, Handguns Allowed at GOP Convention
Sunday 27th of May 2012 01:52:24 AM
Posted by admin / Under Tampa Breeze
| In the politically-charged and likely protest-filled streets of Tampa, Fla., during the Republican National Convention in August, water guns will be strictly prohibited. Concealed handguns, on the other hand, will be perfectly legal. Florida Gov. Rick Scott said this week that banning handguns from downtown Tampa during the convention, as the city's Mayor Bob Buckhorn requested, "would surely violate the Second Amendment." ... Buckhorn said last month that the state law, which prohibits the city from temporarily banning handguns, makes the city "look silly" because officials can prohibit water guns but not real ones, The Associated Press reported. "There is... |

| TRUE COLORS TIME If you listened closely to Sarah tonight on Levin’s program, she was pretty much endorsing Romney. I suspect she will hold her cards, won’t jump into the fray until the convention, where she will get maximum exposure for her particular agenda. And then she will play the good citizen role and support Romney. I’ve been worried about her since she showed up so ungraciously during the summer to rain on the parade of some of the more conservative candidates… The same applies to her as everyone else... Not fighting, not helping Newt right now, is the same... |

Michael Krull, a former advance man and a college friend of Callista Gingrich’s who took over the campaign after a staff exodus in June, was replaced last weekend by Vince Haley, who has worked for Gingrich for nine years and currently is deputy campaign manager and policy director. “We’re focusing exclusively on what it’ll take to win what... |

| Everything seems very serious, very important, very consequential now. The earlier debates — months ago — were looser. The eight or nine candidates would bounce onto the stage. Romney would greet Bachmann with a big mwah. Cain would smile brightly. The atmosphere was almost festive. But now we’ve gotten down to the nitty-gritty — crunch time. Newt immediately links himself to Reagan. Remember when pundits swore the Gipper couldn’t win? he says. He also points out that Reagan’s economic program was labeled “voodoo economics.” That was Bush 41’s — the future Bush 41’s — line, of course. But the 1980... |
