Also funny is the absolute hypocrisy of the folks now calling for gun control. Let's remind ourselves that these hypocrites will not restrict themselves from weapons for their own self defense and enjoyment.
I see Drudge is already on the story but let's take a comprehensive look at the hypocritical liberals, many of whom are now advocating gun control in the heat and aftermath of Newtown, even though school murders are down statistically:
From Hot Air: Harry Reid: How would a politician who argued today that guns “bring us together” and gave personal testimony to using handguns for personal protection be greeted by Democrats like Harry Reid? Why not ask Reid himself — or at least the 2010 version of Harry Reid, discovered by BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski? Appearing with then-NRA VP Wayne LaPierre at an opening of a shooting park in Clark County, Nevada, Reid fondly recalled the days of sport shooting with his three brothers, and how Reid protected himself against “a lot of bad people” while serving on the Nevada Gaming Commission:
From Hot Air: Dianne Feinstein, who's been working on a gun control bill for a year: “I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that’s what I did. I was trained in firearms. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon and I made the determination if somebody was going to try and take me out, I was going to take them with me.”From Virginia Gun Owners' Forum:
[Violence Policy Center] Josh Sugarman, : "Take for instance Josh Sugarmann, executive director and founder of the Violence Policy Center and supporter of the now overturned handgun ban in the District of Columbia. For years, Josh Sugarmann has held a Federal Firearms License in D.C. making it legal for him to buy and sell firearms, the only exemption for civilian handgun possession under the old D.C. handgun ban. "
[Brady activist] Joseph McNamara: Back when the Brady organization was known as Handgun Control Inc., one of its prominent members, Joseph McNamara, wrote a book in which he espoused the idea that only corporate executives and Hollywood celebrities should be allowed to own firearms. This "rights for me but not for thee" elitist attitude isn't just restricted to activists; many anti-gun politicians seem to believe they are uniquely special as well (alright, that's likely not much of a surprize to many people)
Senator Chuck Schumer: And Senator Chuck Schumer recently led the effort to defeat national concealed carry reciprocity, yet he currently holds one of the few unrestricted gun permits in New York.
The late Senator Ted Kennedy spent many years legislating for stricter gun control, yet he had a privately-hired armed bodyguard.
Michael Moore, whose film Bowling for Columbine criticized American gun culture, also has an armed bodyguard -- who incidentally does not hold a gun permit for New York City, the primary residence of Michael Moore.Vagun.net goes on to discuss the Million Mom March organizerS' anti-gun and subsequent personal arrest histories, imprisoned Illinois Congressman Dan Rosenkowski, columnist Carl Rowan who shot a kid in his yard, political activist Ben Gelt violent arrest record and former Black Panther, ex-con, gun owner Congressman Bobby Rush.
Then there's Leftist hate group Soros funded Media Matters' David Brock, who repeatedly decries gun ownership in America while at the same time made sure his personal assistant carried an illegal hand gun in case Brock needed protection.
And Jane Fonda who said, " "Gun control? That’s for other people, not for us."
And Sammy Davis, Jr., and NYT publisher Arthur Sulzberger and actress Jennifer O'Neill, all of whom seem to think (or thought, as in the case of Davis) that only their lives are worth saving, not yours, because they are the only ones important enough to be threatened.
Of course, Rosie O'Donnell comes to mind. Eh.
John Kerry's willing to pose with a hunting gun but the reality is that he's also willing to vote in his own self interest and anti-gun legislation.
And terror city Chicago is filled with pols like Donne Trotter who actively campaign against guns but get caught with them because apparently their lives are worth something and that, hey, Chicago's a dangerous city.
Or how about loony loon in charge of grabbing our guns Vice-POTUS Joe Biden, who claimed in 2008 Obama would never get his gun.
My, how political expediency and opportunism changes opinions practically, well, overnight.
But Leftists are just hypocritical about guns.
They also are willing to say and do anything to get elected (well, that's Repubs and Dems alike), like Barack Obama who campaigned on transparency but has become the most deceitful, opaque POTUS in history.
Or like Barack Obama, who campaigned on fiscal sanity but has proven to be the most spendthrift POTUS in history, spending more in his administration than all presidents combined.
Or like Barack Obama, who said if you want your health care provider and doctor you can keep them, even as we watch the destruction of the health care system.
Or like Barack Obama, Nobel Peace Prize winner, who's running drones over this country watching all of us, invading our privacy in every technological way possible and presiding over the greatest attack on civil liberties in our history.
The whole "fiscal cliff" theater is a joke, a play for political points, not a serious approach to a budget, which Democrats haven't passed since Obama got into office.
And when Boehner accepted Pelosi's May plan, she admitted it was a "ploy" to "smoke out" Republicans, to God only knows what.
Obviously you can't reason with people like this, who aren't serious about fixing the fiscal problems of this country. One wonders if, when the financial tsunami hits, Dems will try to pin it on Republicans who admittedly appear to be as witless and hand-wringing as the hapless Boehner.
I say let hypocrisy reign. If you're too stupid to see how hypocritical these bozos are, you deserve what we'll get. I just wish I could move to Belgium to avoid what's coming.
But dear GOD where are the Republicans to decry what's happening here and set the stage for BLAMING THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE.
UPDATE: Use tragedy to promote tax increase????....only an opportunistic political hypocritical hack lying liar would do that, right?
