Moscow Rebukes Weak & Preening Barack Obama Flies Snowden Out Of Hong Kong
World leaders have little to no real respect for Barack Obama. Time and again, reports come out following a meeting between some nation’s leader and the American president that detail just how shallow and insubstantial those other leaders view Obama. Last month, President Obama met with China’s President, and just last week, Obama met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. BOTH world leaders just dealt Barack Obama a one-two punch of dismissal, allowing NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden to be secreted away from Hong Kong on a Russian airliner bound for Moscow.
WATCH – Gun-Rights Rallygoers Defy Local Law, Confront ‘Police State’ Actions

Excerpted from THE BLAZE
Protesters showed up to a gun-rights rally in Erie, Pa., with their firearms out in the open—purposely defying a local ordinance that prohibits guns at city parks.
“We are American patriots, and we are a force to be reckoned with!” yelled Pastor George Cook of North Bangor, Pa. (350 miles away) at the Perry Square park gazebo Saturday, WSEE-TV reports.
“First, our constitution…says that the right of people to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be questioned,” said Cook. ”The preemption clause in our state law…says that local towns like Erie can’t make other laws concerning firearms.”
Cook was one of about 80 who showed up to support “Open Carry Pennsylvania.” Erie police estimated there were 15 to 20 people carrying firearms in the crowd, and they issued citations to some of them, noted the Erie Times-News.
Rally organizers tried to get an injunction against the city ordinance, but failed.
More from the Erie Times-News: Those at the rally carrying guns, both handguns and semiautomatic rifles, are subject to a fine of between $100 and $300 and up to 90 days in prison if they fail to pay the fines.Police walked around the crowd and noted license plate numbers of parked cars in an attempt to identify people carrying weapons. They said they would mail citations to people carrying weapons who were successfully identified.
“They’ve been going around writing down everyone’s license plate number…” said attorney Joshua Prince, a lawyer for Justin Dillon, the founder of Open Carry PA.
