It was fun watching Obama’s temper tantrum after the
righteous defeat of Sandy Hook inspired gun control regulations. He pulled out all the stops. Using the families of the dead Sandy Hook
children as props, prodding a swooning media, using every emotional trick in
the book…he failed. All of a sudden he
was concerned about thwarting the “will of the people.” Actually it was the will of his fuming uber-left
wing friends. They didn't get their
way.
Four Democratic Senators voted with Republicans. All of them are up for re-election next year
in red states. They weren’t going to
throw away their senatorial perks and privilege for Barack Obama…not this year
anyway. They aren’t stupid. They saw what happened after Obama thwarted
the will of the people on health care reform, and they want to be sure that
doesn’t happen to them.
Americans actually get the Second Amendment. An armed citizenry is the last defense
against an imperial government. Gun
rights are not there to protect hunters.
They are they for people to defend themselves just in case the government
gets too big for its britches. The
first thing any dictator does is get rid of the guns. The next is to get rid of the lawyers. That’s not a joke.
The facts contradict the anti-gun arguments. Mass murders of the type in Sandy Hook and
Aurora, Colorado are actually rare and represent on a small fraction of murders
in the United States. More deaths result
from knives and hammers than semi-automatic weapons.
These incidents are horrific and tragic, but not common. If the government wants to stop violence, go
into the cities. Go into Chicago and
Detroit where gun violence is so common and a part of everyday life it has
ceased being news worthy. These are war
zones in every sense of the word.
It also doesn’t help that none of the proposals in the
defeated legislation would have stopped Sandy Hook or the Colorado theater
shooting. These are mental health
issues, and NO proposals have been made to get the whack jobs off the streets;
nor will you see any from the left because they put them there in the first
place.
The press has jumped on the anti gun band wagon. At least CNN had the guts to admit that it
was for this piece of legislation and would report the news accordingly. The death of 20 some innocents in this type
of violent incident is a tragedy in every sense of the word. But what about the babies who survive an
abortion procedure and are then killed by the performing doctor and his staff? If you don’t know about the trial underway in
Philadelphia as you read this, I rest my case.
Why is one story so horrific, and the other totally ignored? What is
more tragic than breaking a baby’s neck after it is born alive in the name of
abortion rights? And what is really
scary is I could probably mount a defense for this evil man given the state of
abortion rights in America today.
Selective moral outrage has always been a hallmark of the
left and Obama. They are governed by
causes rather than common sense. The
goal is power, not good government. The
motive is revenge and elitism rather than the will of the people. Obama is a master of looking at the cameras
and lying to the American people about his motives…and the will of the people.
Congrats to the Senate for standing up for individual
freedoms and rights and the Constitution. But wait until after the election next year. Gun control will be back!!!!
