Last week, Eric Holder the Attorney General of the United States was cited for Contempt of Congress for his refusal to hand over documents related to the Justice Departments failed “Fast and Furious” program. This program supposedly sold guns to the Mexican Cartel so the government could track them to the cartel or what ever specious reasoning Holder could create to justify the program.

            Don’t arrest, kill, or track the cartel just make up a dubious plan that had no past success. We are not just talking about one or two guns but at least 2,000 guns to cartel members by gun sellers lending a helping hand to the ATF. The result of all this is 200 Mexican civilians killed or wounded and 1 dead ATF agent by guns linked directly to “Fast and Furious”.

            All the time legal gun sellers were being blamed for selling guns at gun shows without checking the purchasers past criminal record. Individuals can sell their own weapons to anyone they want but dealers must check the buyer criminal records. Yes, there were incidences where this occurred but the press made it sound like every gun dealer was selling guns to the cartel, not so.

            The purpose of the “Fast and Furious” program was to find and indict big time cartel members who were buying the guns. The score so far 0, non, zero, nada, cartel members and 201 dead people to show for it. The war in Mexico with the cartel members in Mexico has claimed over 40,000 lives and will continue to wreck their economy as it continues to seep into the Baja tourist cities. The war spills into America and it is treated like a law enforcement problem. It’s not we should be at war with the cartel and anyone else who steps in our way.

            In 1916 General Pershing went into Mexico to find Poncho Villa after he killed several citizens in New Mexico. George Patton even killed three and put them on the hood of his car to show the like trophies.

Apparently we no longer have the will to protect our civilians from invaders as we should morally and legally should do. More and more we are told we can’t have guns to protect ourselves, tell that to every murder victim the cartel kills and tell it to Obama because he’s as indifferent as the cartel.
