My preference was to privately mourn for the families affected by the senseless killing of children and school staff in Newtown, CT this past Friday. I’d spent many a summer weekend on Candlewood Lake in Danbury; Newtown was the next town over from Danbury & was where my kid sister lived in the early 90’s. So Ron and I spent the past few days consoling our neighbors, playing with the kiddos on our street, trying to quietly pray & reflect in our own way. We watched no news shows until this day, but one thing I should have done was stay off the Internet.
On the Gateway Pundit blog, Jim Hoft linked to a Freedom’s Outpost story about how liberals were using Facebook and Twitter to come out against guns. Among the selection of tweets advocating for the murder of NRA President Keene and all NRA members was a name familiar to me; probably familiar to many readers of Houston’s Liberal blog sites.
I’ve pasted a screen shot from the Freedom’s Outpost story in case NASA employee and Democrat Precinct 699 Chair John Cobarruvias of the Houstonblog Bay Area Houston tries to delete his tweet (warning language):
I’d like an investigation into the threats against my friends and my husband Ron…all NRA members.
Sally Belladonna Baggins Stricklett says
Yayy PUSH BACK… I LOVE IT!
Matt Arnold says
Keeping it classy, Leftists.
Under Colorado law, those "tweets" constitute felony reckless endangerment (see §18-3-208, C.R.S) or incitement to violence (see §18-11-202, C.R.S.).
Anyone with knowledge of any of the "tweeters" being Colorado residents is encourage to report them to the appropriate authorities.
Sally Belladonna Baggins Stricklett says
It does seem odd that the left has no compunction about threatening to kill.
Ron Plante says
Not odd at all when you consider who they turn to for leadership. Could it beeeeeeee………Satan?
Ron Plante says
And that is not just rhetoric. They voted God out of the Democrat Platform. They are pro-death when it comes to unborn children (even extending to the time period between birth and leaving the hospital), They are in favor of sexual preference in opposition to God's word, The current Democrat regime chose to allow 34 people to die in Bhengazi (thankfully two ex-navy seals saved 30 of those people against orders), they assault people who are for workers as opposed to for union leadership, they literally steal from people by ignoring the rights of automotive industry stockholders in favor of unions, they support death panels aka Obamacare, which is aferall only about rationing of healthcare, they give actual assault weapons (fully automatic, not just similar in appearance) to narco-terrorists, they arguably cause mass shooting incidents both by preventing law-abiding citizens from arming themselves and through the left-arm of the Democat party (mainstream media) which glamorizes these mass shooting incidents. Right now, the next nut case is planning his or her last stand, hoping to cause a greater body count than at my alma mater, VA Tech. They know that the Jurassic Media will publicize every last aspect of their pathetic life. They will literally make history.
S.d. Wheeler says
So let me get this right…..these low-lifes want to counter gun violence by committing MORE gun violence. Yeah, ok. I have been saying that it is almost time…….perhaps that time has come.
Dicky Carpediem Lilly says
it' time!
Karl Bauch says
Now isn't this the kind of crazy threat that should be checked out!
S.d. Wheeler says
Do you really think anything will happen to these retards, Karl? We screamed like hell about voter and election fraud during the election and our cries went unheard by police or government officials. This may be the time for We, The People to simply take this country back ourselves.
Rhymes W. Right says
Yvonne, my friend, you left one out — John Cobarruvias, who has once again advocated the murder of those who hold different political beliefs from his, is also a member of the Texas State Democratic Executive Committee. That means that not only is he a local blogger of some note, a precinct chair and a federal employee with a security clearance with a history of being suspended from his job for violating federal law, he is ALSO one of the top leaders of the Democrat Party in Texas. As such, we have to raise the question of whether or not his words are condoned by the the Texas Democrat Party.
S.d. Wheeler says
And if so, is his party collaborators in threats of mass murder and treason.
S.d. Wheeler says
And now every news outlet in Houston with a Facebook page has the link to this blog. Cobarruvias……your days are about to get very complicated.
Joan McMillan says
Greg this is chilling is it not? As pct chairs and/or Exec Committee chairs, one would think that we would be expected to show some decorum publicly – no matter what party we belong to. As a NASA employee, that certainly is expected. I don't know the guy (don't want to either) so thanks for the education for those of us less informed. I'll do my best to always steer clear of him…(been doing a pretty good job of it apparently!)
Yvonne Larsen says
Rhymes: thanks for spreading the word on this guy. Breitbart picked Coby up as well…
Simple Simon says
There is never a shortage of opportunists who will shamelessly sieze on a horrific
tragedy to bend it to their advantage. Shame on them and a Pox on their houses.
There was also some preacher who blamed the tragedy on the banning of
compusory prayer in school. That huckleberry from Arkansas that ran for
President a few years ago said much the same thing.
I have been waiting for the Wickems to weigh in of the subject just to make the
sideshow complete.
Simple
Simple Simon says
And to make my point.

Joanne Arnold says
They should be considered the same in EVERY STATE. Someone should check the laws and maybe start a little law suit of their own…like the NRA! Just because this is 'Tweeted' DOESN'T make it ANY less of a threat to REAL PEOPLES lives!! That kind of idiot SHOULD NOT be allowed to get by with such garbage…
Joe Newby says
Thanks for the info. Look forward to following up on this. http://www.examiner.com/article/liberals-on-twitter-call-for-murder-of-nra-members-repeal-of-second-amendment
Steven Mark Pilling says
The day is coming when some will try to turn those threats to action. Remember; virtually every mass murderer or thwarted one in recent memory has had either ties to leftist organizations or was the young product of the obscene pop culture that the liberal establishment has forced upon us. I take these threats seriously. All of us need to prepare to defend ourselves, our homes and our loved ones on a moment's notice. They don't hate us for what happened in Newtown, for that was perpetrated by one of their own and plays into their hands politically. What they hate are free American citizens who reject government dependency, understand the necessity of the 2nd Amendment and defend themselves and the Constitution. While we remain free, their agenda cannot advance.
Politicalbrew says
Just substitute the President or Obama or _______for NRA in his comments and see how much scrutiny shows up on John Cobarruvias’ door.
Ron Plante says
That's exactly right. I don't remember who said it, but, the second ammendment is not about duck hunting. Our founding fathers were afraid of tyranny and knew that the greatest defense against it was an armed populace. In the well known words of Thomas Jefferson, "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
Vladimir Davidiuk says
The Left is the source of the murderous violence that has slowly eaten away at the foundations of our great nation. Anger and Hatred against our founding principles, our belief in God, our democracy, our free-enterprise capitalism, our belief in self-reliance, self-government and individual responsibility. It is unsurprising that the bloodthirsty, nihilistic society they have helped create is starting to self-destruct.

Kurundo Or Tyler says
Ohhhh man this tantrum is hilarious. Of course you guys don't understand that the outcry against the NRA and the second ammendment by leftists is because of the availability of firearms. There is that delicious irony when the person who advocated the psychopath's right to have a firearm gets that firearmed turned on him. Ohhhh bother.
AMURRICAH! BEST CURNTREH IN TEH WURLD! NEHD MOAR GANS TO DEFEND MAHSELF.
Joe Arpaio says
Obviously you don't understand what being "free" really means. Of course, if you want to live your life with the government telling you what you can and can't do or purchase, keep voting for the socialist pigs.
You're all just a bunch of fascist Nazis who want to tell us how to live and you know what?
Go ahead and try you communist brat. We have the guns, apparently, remember to bring your knife, baseball bat or a fistful of hugs and love… Because those will do so well in a fight with a real man who has and knows how to use his guns to protect his family, right?
Larry Gillreath says
Thank you Sheriff Joe! You are one of the modern-day American heroes of our day and age! I hope for you long long life and good health. And I believe you are meant for higher office! God bless you sir!
Kurundo Or Tyler says
Ahhh, this Larry Guy is obviously a fan of Faux News with how easily he is motivated by a couple of buzzwords from a rapist supporter.
I guess that is what Joe really means by being "free" though. Everyone needs those rights to rape children and own tools designed solely for the purpose of killing people. Well, unless of course that person isn't white.
And don't think that Neo-nazi rednecks from the gun club are the only people packing heat. We leftists gotta have our own security from you lunatics.
Chuck Thomas says
Shoot them with what? You guys don't like guns.

Now is the time. Let’s talk. We have a problem in this city. And not talking about it is making it worse. Somehow we have reached a tipping point. My neighbor’s aircondioner stopped working because of squirrels and it cost him almost two hundred dollars to repair. Thousands of dollars are spent each year due to squirrel damage. Fortunately, there is something we can do about it. Let’s have neighborhood squirrel hunts. The men from the neighborhood will get together, liberals and conservatives, and go on a safe neighborhood ‘fall harvest with single shot pellet guns’. The gals will be back at the community center preparing sides and desserts. It’s a good time of year to have a feast. When the guys come back with the game, the folks will welcome them with hearty ‘at a boys’ all around. No booze allowed, this will be a family dinner. The gals can cook the squirrel with recipes from Nana’s old cookbook that has been handed down from generation to generation. The NRA crowd w ill love it because pellet gun sale will skyrocket. The liberals will go for it because some of the food from the event will be used to feed the homeless. It will be an opportunity to talk openly and respectfully about guns. It will also be good food. Here’s one of my favorite recipes:
Squirrel Stew
~ 3 squirrels, cleaned and cut up
~ 1/4 cup all purpose flour
~ 1 teaspoon salt
~ 1/2 teaspoon pepper
~ 2 slices bacon
~ 2 tablespoons butter
~ 5 cups of water
~ 1 – 28 oz can whole tomatoes
~ 1 chopped onion
~ 1 heaping tablespoon of brown sugar
~ 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
~ 1 – 10 oz package frozen lima beans
~ 1 cup frozen corn
~ 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
Combine 1/4 cup flour, salt and pepper. Coat the squirrel pieces.
In a Dutch oven, combine bacon and butter over medium heat until butter melts. Add squirrel and brown.
Add water, tomatoes, onion and brown sugar and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove squirrel pieces and let cool. Remove meat from bones.
Add meat, potatoes, beans and corn to Dutch oven. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and cover. Simmer until potatoes are tender.
Mix 3 tablespoons of flour with 3 tablespoons of cold water, then stir into stew. Heat to boiling.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, bubbly.
Serve with warm rolls and enjoy!
Izzy says
Here’s another squirrel recipe. Do not hate.
Squirrel Dumplings
~ 3 squirrels, cut up (All hair and pellets removed.)
~ 1 egg
~ 2 cups plain flour
~ 3/4 cup broth
~ 1 teaspoon salt
~ salt and pepper
Boil squirrels in four quarts of water until tender. Remove squirrels from broth, let cool, then remove meat from bones. Set aside.
In large bowl, mix flour, egg and one teaspoon of salt with 3/4 cup of broth and roll into ball.
Strain the broth to remove any stray shot then resume boil. Return meat to boiling broth.
On a floured cutting board, use rolling pin to roll the dough ball to a thickness of 1/16 inch. Cut into 1-inch wide strips and drop strips one at a time into the boiling broth. Gently shake pot after last dumpling is added to prevent sticking.
Cook approximately 10-15 minutes until dumplings are tender. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and Enjoy!

Every traitor who calls for that sort of irresponsible activity especially against patriots innocently defending freedom needs to be deported to Cuba posthaste because it is obvious they do not belong in our great republic of the United States of America.

Jim Kelly says
I'm an NRA member and I believe this bastard should be charged with making a terroristic threat. What do you think? When a libtard speaks, we should take him at his word.
Luke Bourke says
Hey I'm scared now, if these people came near me I would be scared. And I don't have my gun right now, and I'm handicapped. I don't think these people would have the guts to face me in a honest fight.
Brian Mora says
To all the fringe minority left-wing neoliberal neosocialist neocommunist terrorist-appeasing traitors crying for more gun control: GET OVER IT. THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS HERE TO STAY. COPE WITH IT OR GET OUT OF THE UNITED STATES.
And BTW THIS IS the CORRECT SPELLING of Fox News. GET IT RIGHT OR SHUT UP!

Mike Rios says
As usual, a liberal can call for the murder of people who believe in the strict interpretation of the Constitution and the freedoms that were swathed in blood for us , and he is standing for his beliefs. Let a conservative say this and he is a hate monger, racist, KKK member, Nazi, and hates Mexicans. The guy ought to be arrested for terroristic threats and should be investigated for fomenting hatred.
