I'm ordering one right now.

And in other firearm news, it seems there was one of those health care "town hall" meetings in New Hampshire. You know, those Hegelian talking point festivals where each side tries to scream their empty rhetoric the loudest, while the actual people caught in the middle are completely ignored?

Well it seems William Kostric figured out a way to be heard. He showed up with a loaded firearm strapped to his leg, and a home made sign that said "It is time to water the tree of liberty" - a blatant reference to a famous quote by Thomas Jefferson. Oh, you can just imagine Chris Matthews crying about it! Oh wait! You don't have to imagine it, you can view it right here!

And before anyone else starts crying about it, you should be aware that what he did was perfectly legal in New Hampshire.

I've gotta give Kostric credit. I don't know if he's had media training or not, but he delivered his message without swallowing Matthews' bait. I think it was something of a propaganda backfire on the part of MSNBC. They invited Kostric on the show, likely hoping he would sound like a raving lunatic. Quite the contrary, he made Matthews look like an impatient, volatile man with a hidden agenda. Big stretch, I know.

That being said, I'm concerned. In the last year, I'm noticing the eyes of the media looking ever more intently on "domestic issues". There seems to be a definite concerted effort to villify freedom-oriented individuals, and this is just another step. Remember the domestic terrorist cell uncovered in North Carolina last month? Well as it turns out, the chief player in the arrests, Daniel Boyd may have actually been a "company man" who decided the America he fought to protect was dead:

"It is said Boyd — a poster child for “white al-Qaeda” if there ever was one — trained at a terrorist camp in Afghanistan in the late 1980s and fought against the Soviet occupation of that country. Boyd was associated with Hezb-e-Islami, or Party of Islam.

Red flags should go up on this one. Hizb-e-Islami was led and founded by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who was carefully selected by the Pakistani ISI and the CIA to wage jihad against the Soviets. Hekmatyar, a drug dealer with little support in Afghanistan, was a favored son of the CIA and the ISI. The U.S. worked with Hekmatyar over a ten year period and over half of all U.S. aid to the mujaheddin went to his faction (see Alfred W. McCoy, The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, pp. 475 and Robert Dreyfuss, Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam, pp. 260-263)."

This, combined with the Department of Fatherland Security classifying veterans and Libertarians as "dangerous extremists" (See H.R. 1955 for starters) certainly paints an unpleasant picture.
