THE LIBERAL FOOLISHNESS BEHIND CREATING MORE GUN LAWS...
This past Wednesday there was a rather pointless little Senate hearing, as most Senate hearings are, that took place, the lofty intent of which, I guess, was to, both, talk about ways of ending gun violence in the United States and to berate, Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association (NRA). Neither of which, I might add, was accomplished. In pointing out the idiocy of proposing more gun laws, Mr. LaPierre pointed out that until the federal government finally starts doing its job by enforcing existing laws, any actual solution would remain pretty far down the road. He made his point by citing a 2010 report that stated, "Out of more than 76,000 firearms purchases denied by the federal instant check system, only 62 were referred for prosecution, and only 44 were actually prosecuted." I find myself agreeing with Mr. LaPierre on his point.
Mr. LaPierre was a witness at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing the purpose of which, like I said, was supposed to be to discuss gun violence in the wake of the December attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.. An event that the Democrats, including Barry "Almighty," seem to now see as being their prime opportunity to institute some manner of gun control. While they may continue to make the claim that it's all about keeping our children safe, nothing could be further from the truth. Because what it's really all about is the using of a terrible tragedy to do nothing more than to further a political agenda. An agenda that seeks to completely disarm the American people. And let's face it, if these pathetic political hacks really cared about the children, they would start asking the important questions regarding this president's conscious decision to forgo enforcement of thousands of current gun laws.
"We joined the nation in sorrow over the tragedy that occurred in Newtown, Connecticut," LaPierre said. "There is nothing more precious than our children." He went on to say, "We have no more sacred duty than to protect our children and keep them safe," LaPierre said. The way to do that, LaPierre argued, is armed security guards in the nation’s schools. And it only makes sense. I mean, after all, is Congress designated a 'gun free' zone? Hell no! Or how about the White House, is that a 'gun free' zone? Nope! But yet our schools are. Only imbecilic liberals would come up with such an idiotic plan. Or maybe there's something more sinister at wok here. Maybe it was their intent all along to use our kids as nothing more than bait, so to speak, hoping that the temptation of a 'gun free' school zone would be just too tempting a target for any well armed nut to pass up. Thus providing Democrats the opportunity to do exactly what they’re now doing.
"It’s time to throw an immediate blanket of security around our children," LaPierre said. "About a third of our schools have armed security already – because it works." "And that number is growing," LaPierre said. "Right now, state officials, local authorities and school districts in all 50 states are considering their own plans to protect children in their schools." And that’s the way it should be. The decision about how best to protect our children should be left up to the individual states. And if those in blue states, like New York, are so enamored with having their schools identified as 'gun free' zones and therefore made easier for nuts to attack, then let them. But I think it's safe to say that those in red states might have a different philosophy about such things. After all, if armed guards are good enough for the school that Barry's kids attend, then they should be good enough for the schools where everybody else's kids go too.
Idiotic Democrats on this stupid committee, however, seem to see things a bit differently than do normal people. To them the only solution to what they describe as being a "growing problem" is the proposing of legislation that would ban "assault weapons," limit capacity of ammunition magazines, and impose universal background checks. But I'm just not making the connection between such things and making our schools safer. "Americans are looking to us for solutions and for action," Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the committee, said in his prepared opening remarks. "This committee is a focal point for that process," Leahy said. Addind, "I have introduced a measure to provide law enforcement agencies with stronger tools against illegal gun trafficking." Gun trafficking? Ok, I'm confused here, how the Hell is that even related to keeping our kids safer? You see, that's just how nonsensical the entire liberal approach is to this problem.
Someone really needs to tell this senile old dope, Leahy, that his stupid little committee is really little more than an unfunny joke! Granted I'm sure every Democrat present was salivating over their chance to go after LaPierre. "Little Dick" Durbin certainly took his shot. But it would seem to me that Durbin should be a little more concerned with what's going on back in his own state and the 40 or 50 folks who get murdered in Chicago every month. Stricter gun laws sure are working out pretty well there. But nope, I guess his aim is to turn the rest of the country into the same type shooting gallery that the "Windy City" has become. Now there's a pretty impressive aspiration. Ya know, it's like I've said before, this is all just a ploy, because if Barry was really serious about keeping our kids safe he'd be enforcing the laws already on the books, but he's not! Might somebody want to ask him why that is, exactly?
NOW, ABOUT THAT CLAIM OF TURNING TEXAS BLUE...
You may, or may not, remember, because it wasn't something that would make a lasting impression, how a couple of weeks back that San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the guy the Democrats kinda see as being their version of Marco Rubio, and his brother, Rep. Joaquin Castro, made the point that they see a lot of blue sky in Texas’ future. Very blue, politically speaking. The twin brothers went so far as to actually predict on "Face the Nation," that Republicans will come to lose their iron grip on Texas and that within two presidential election cycles, the currently "red" state will shift from a GOP stronghold to being dominated by Democrats.
These two, supposed prominent, Texas Democrats also said that Barry "Almighty" and Congress should tackle the economy, education, immigration reform and gun laws this year. Well Barry certainly is attacking the gun laws issue, and recently wasted $1.6 Million of the taxpayer's money to go make a speech ion immigration in Las Vegas. "It’s changing. It’s going to become a "purple state" then a "blue state" because of the demographics, because of the population from folks coming from outside Texas," Julian Castro said. Joaquin Castro agreed, but added that "it’s going to take a lot of work from Democrats to lay the infrastructure for change, we are very busy working on that now."
But if these two clowns are serious about trying to turn Texas purple and then blue, they might want to take a gander at a just-released poll of Lone Star State voters that found 67 percent of Republican respondents actually support the impeachment of Barry "Almighty." Now I suppose you could argue that that's to be expected, what might be of greater concern, at least for liberals is the fact that the poll was conducted by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP). And in the crosstabs, PPP broke this down by party affiliation with Democrats opposed 83 percent to 12 percent, Republicans in favor 67 percent to 18 percent, and Independents opposed 54 percent to 32 percent.
Now I do think it somewhat amazing, actually, that even 12 percent of Democrats seem to support Barry's impeachment. Also quite interesting was the racial breakdown concerning this issue with Whites supporting impeachment 48 percent to 41 percent, Blacks opposed 80 percent to 15 percent, and Hispanics opposed 58 percent to 30 percent. Again, it's strikes me as being quite amazing that 15 percent of Blacks would support his impeachment. It was also fascinating to see the breakdown by age as people older than 65 supported impeachment 46 percent to 38 percent, folks 46 to 65 opposed 46 percent to 42 percent, and people 18 to 45 opposed 66 percent to 27 percent.
So I guess if you live in Texas, the older you are, the more likely you want Barry impeached. Something else to consider is that 56 percent of respondents were women with 44 percent men. As women were far more likely to oppose impeachment (53 percent to 36 percent) than men (46 percent to 41 percent), a more equal sampling of the sexes would have found a greater percentage of Texans supporting impeachment. So I'm not saying that the bold claim made by the Castro boys can't actually come about, I am saying that they may be underestimating the amount of that it might take them to actually achieve some level of success. Texans are a unique breed, and have a tendency, regardless of race or gender, to march to the beat of their own drum. God love 'em.
OBAMA SAID TO HAVE STRONG RECORD ON SECOND AMENDMENT...

OBAMA SAYS, "HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. IT'S NOT MY FAULT!"
WHAT MORE PROOF DO WE NEED THAT STRICTER GUN LAWS JUST DON'T WORK…
Through Monday, Chicago's West Side Harrison District leads the city in homicides with seven, three on Saturday alone, followed by the South Side's Englewood District with five. While it is clearly too early to draw any conclusions, those numbers could be unsettling for police officials because throughout 2012, 'Dead Fish" and McCarthy had touted those two districts as success stories after they flooded "conflict zones" in both with additional officers a year ago. University of Chicago criminologist Jens Ludwig said one plausible explanation for the January homicide numbers could be the budget problems confronting cities throughout the country. Emanuel's budget for 2013 calls for the hiring of an additional 500 police officers, but the police union contends that that number falls far short of the void created by cops retiring. Ludwig suggested big cities such as Chicago could use help from the federal government. "Cities can't run budget deficits when economic conditions turn down, which means that usually cities have to scale back police spending at the very time you'd want them to, if anything, increase the number of police on the streets," Ludwig said. "Only the federal government can help solve this with their ability to run budget deficits during economic downturns."
COME ON, ONCE A LIAR ALWAYS A LIAR…FOREVER...
The day I believe anything that this lying bitch tells me it'll be, as they say, a very cold day in Hell! After years of being lied to by this women how can anyone take seriously anything that she says, especially when it comes to whether or not she's running for president? I mean what is it that she hasn't lied about? For crying out loud, she was lying just last week before separate congressional committees! And now our outgoing Secretary of State, Hitlery Clinton, on Tuesday is said to have cast doubt on speculation she might run for the White House in 2016.
FILE THIS ONE UNDER..DON'T QUITE KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF IT...
Robbins and his former leftist nutjob partner/side kick, the aging rather badly Susan Sarandon, were always among of Hollywood's most devoted liberals and committed activists. No cause was too nutty to earn their support. You could always expect to find these two somewhere out front when it came to just about any kind of protest against our country, or any cause seen to be important to by those of the leftist political persuasion. Robbins opposed the Gulf War, backed Ralph Nader’s 2000 campaign for president and routinely satirized the right. But in 2006 he contributed to 10 Republicans, at least according to Federal Election Commission records. And while he never denied that fact, he never really discussed them either. Bur as part of the LATalks Live series last week, he did, discuss it that is, not deny it.
"One thing I will say is that I’m really SICK of divisiveness," Robbins said. "I’ve been all over this country and was really vilified during the [Iraq] War for having the stupid assumption that maybe we should find the weapons of mass destruction before starting a war. … Basically, places like Fox [News Channel] said I can’t go anywhere because people are so pissed off at me for being against the war. When in fact, the opposite was true. Robbins talked about the divisions within the GOP but also among Democrats. Kinda sounding like the Timmy that I'm used to hearing he said, "As crazy and twisted as some of the more radical Republicans are, and the more they take over the party, I say ‘Go ahead.’ " He went on to say, "Because those Republicans who want what we want, to better the nation, will come over to where we are. It’s very difficult for someone with pride to come over to your side if you vilify them."

DEMCORATS ADMIT TO PINNING THEIR HOPES ON OBAMA'S WILLINGNESS TO IGNORE THE CONSTITUTION...
Further proof, as if we needed any, that the Democrat plan, at least as it now stands, is to execute an end run around the Constitution was provided to us by Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown, saying that he believes Barry "Almighty," in his second term, will drive the progressive agenda forward with a more ‘aggressive’ use of executive power. "We’re going to see a president of the United States use his executive powers as much as he’s allowed to under federal law and under the Constitution, in a more aggressive way than last time," Brown said in an interview with one of MSNBC’s resident dingbats, Rachel Mad-Cow. Brown added, "You’re going to see the president use the executive powers that are within his constitutional legal authority. I think much of the progressive agenda is going to be driven that way."

'CALYPSO LOUIE' FARRAKHAN SAYS THE CONSTITUTION HAS BECOME "OUTDATED"...
Always someone who can be counted on as being the voice of reason and sanity, we now have Nation of Islam leader, 'Calypso Louie' Farrakhan, choosing to ridicule, in what's being described as the third installment of his 52-week sermon series, the "volatile" American right to own weapons. It was on this past Sunday as Louie continued with his "The Time and What Must Be Done" sermon series that he presented his rather insane theory that Americans because of he fact that they are increasingly angry at the government, are also now simultaneously preparing themselves for war. Louie went on to say that the Second Amendment has little relevance in modern society, stating that the constitutional right to bear arms is outdated. Demonstrating that he possesses zero knowledge in this area, he said, "See, the right to bear arms was given at a time when there was no regulated militia to protect America," he said. "But now you have police well-armed, you have state troopers well-armed, you have the National Guard and you have federal troops."
Because such a description of what lies behind the creation of the Second Amendment, makes it very obvious, very quickly, that Louie is completely lacking when it comes to our Constitution. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is the section of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. And it purpose has nothing to do with providing to the American people away of defending themselves against one another. It was designed as being that last line of defense for the people against a tyrannical government. Louis said that one reason Americans are buying weapons is their anger at the government. "Look at the American peoples’ thoughts about Congress. What is the percentage of the American people that feel that the U.S. Congress is doing a good job? Eleven percent," said Louie. "Then 89 percent of the American people are angry, disaffected, dissatisfied with their government — and you’re selling them weapons of war and the militias are multiplying."
Louie caused a bit if a controversy with a sermon earlier this month when he labeled Americans as being a "savage" and violent populace that was predicted in the Bible. "This nation has been built on violence," Louie said in the Jan. 13 sermon. "Uncivilized, uncultivated, brutal, wild…and that’s why the prophet gave America one of those names as a beast — both of the book of Daniel and in the book of Revelations." You know, this is another guy who takes great pleasure in presenting to people, people who for whatever bizarre reason look up to this kook, his own cockeyed view of what this country is. And he's another who paints it not as the force for good that it has been throughout its relatively brief existence, historically speaking. He, and those like him, prefer to describe this country as being nothing more than a source of all manner of unspeakable evil and one that deserves to be punished. It's pretty sad that knocking down one's own country is the only means that losers like Louis have for building themselves up.
Have you ever stopped to consider just how much better race relations would be in this country were it not for such sleazy characters like old 'Calypso Louie' out there spewing all manner of what equates to nothing more than some of the most toxic hate imaginable? And something else that has always struck me as being more than just a little odd, is the fact that most, if not all, of those who work 24/7 in their effort to stir up as much conflict as possible between the races are nearly always supposed men of God. Whether it’s Louie or Al 'Bull Horn' Sharpton, or Jesse ' The Extortionist' Jackson or Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright, all have their names preceded by a title that tells the world that their chosen profession is one of spreading the word of God. But that's not what they do. It's like they're taking part in some cruel masquerade or something. Because how can an individual, any individual, so literally consumed, as these men obviously are, by such a level intense hatred, actually profess to preach the word of God, any God?

THE NRA DARES TO OPPOSE DIANNE FEINSTEIN, SO SHE SLANDERS THE GROUP!
This blatantly corrupt politician describes the NRA in terms that you could very well use to describe her and just about all of her fellow Democrats. She'd like us all to feel the same way about the NRA as she does, but there just one thing wrong with that premise. It's the fact that it's her and her fellow Democrats who are the ones trying to shred the Constitution, not the NRA.

IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE, NO...IT'S 'SUPER CORY'...
Enough of this guy, already. He must be getting ready to run for higher office.
MSNBC...WHO WATCHES THIS STUFF???
Of all the idiotic drivel, and endless pabulum that I have ever heard spewed from the morons who comprise the 'on air' personalities over at MSNBC, this load of crap takes the cake. At least for now, I suppose. Because before long there will be yet another that comes along who will say something even more incredibly stupid, and most likely in pretty short order. But then, who knows, with the IQ of its average viewer being what it is, maybe this kind of stuff actually passes as being some pretty worthwhile information.

WHAT'S THE REAL REASON BEHIND THE DRIVE BY DEMOCRATS TO TAKE OUR GUNS?
What has to be the most, or at least one of the most, unnerving aspects of Herr Feinstein's recently revealed gun control bill is the fact that it would seem that not everyone will be required to abide by it. If the proposed legislation actually becomes law, God forbid, certain "government officials" and others will be made exempt. "Mrs. Feinstein's measure would exempt more than 2,200 types of hunting and sporting rifles; guns manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action; and weapons used by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement personnel," or so the Washington Times reports. I don't suppose Herr Feinstein could perhaps be a little more specific about who it is that those "government officials" might be. After all, "government officials" could mean absolutely 'anyone' operating under the auspices of the federal government. Might the fact that she's so vague, actually be by design? I'm just sayin!

DEMOCRATS DECLARE WAR ON THE RIGHT OF LAW ABIDING CITIZENS TO OWN A GUN...
So we now have yet another example in what has become, over the course of the last several years, a very disturbing and, I think it fair to say, very dangerous trend. A trend where we continue to see Democrats demonstrate, and with increasing regularity, a willingness, even an eagerness, to flagrantly disregard, or to apply their own interpretation to, what the Constitution actually says. And, to put it quite simply, this sordid behavior by our politicians must not be allowed to go unchallenged, nor should it be tolerated. The desires of the people, those whom these corrupt politicians are supposed to be working for, seem to matter very little these days. Our 'leaders', it can be safely said, are now officially out of control as they work to get us even further under the thumb of an increasingly oppressive government. They persist in claiming jurisdiction over aspects of our lives that they simply do not possess. They have no right to do what it is they are attempting to do here in essentially making one of our God given rights null and void and for no other reason than because they don’t like it. Also, and something I’m sure they see as a fringe benefit, if they succeed, it would make the road to tyranny all that much smoother.
So they now see this as being their moment to strike while the iron is hot, because, as in the words of Democrat, Ed Rendell, "the good thing about Newtown is that it was so horrific." So as it still remains, at least, fresh enough in everyone's memory, we have yet another attempt being made by the Democrats to essentially make the Second Amendment more to their liking by making less of a right and more a grouping of pretty words that, if the Democrats are allowed to have their way, will come to mean absolutely nothing. Of course this most recent attempt that I reference here, comes to us in the form of Dianne Feinstein's proposed ‘gun control’ legislation. The purpose of which, or so she says, is to ban assault weapons and the intent, she says, "is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time." If it was simply about 'assault weapons, that would be bad enough, but this blatantly unconstitutional action goes well beyond that, because it would actually ban the manufacture of 158 named firearms including certain handguns and shotguns. This is so obviously unconstitutional, but, as we all remember, we have recently been down this same road before. Those in government seem to have forgotten their role in things.
We have allowed those in positions of power to stray more than just a little too far from what their purpose, again as laid out by our Constitution, actually is. They insist upon creating new and ever more creative avenues into areas that the government has no business delving into. And by our being so willing to allow ourselves to be bribed into allowing these people to encroach further and further into our private lives they have now begun operating as if we don’t even exist. And Democrats like Ms. Feinstein, here, is the perfect living example of just how dangerous that can be. In speaking of her brilliant little piece of legislation on Thursday, she made the claim, "We have tried to recognize legal hunting rights, we have tried to recognize legal defense rights, we have tried to recognize the right of a citizen to legally possess a weapon." This pathetic hypocrite went on to say, "No weapon is taken from any one, the purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time. Therefore there is no sunset on this bill." Does she really expect any of us to genuinely trust her and her fellow Democrats? They have tried to recognize nothing more than what they see as being the need to disarm those who essentially form that last line of defense against tyranny.
Feinstein’s proposal aims to achieve several goals: 1) Ban the sale, transfer, importation or manufacturing of 158 named firearms, including certain rifles, handguns and shotguns that accept detachable magazines and have one military characteristic. 2) Ban semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds. 3) Create a one-characteristic test to determine what constitutes an assault weapon. Eliminating easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test. Banning firearms with "thumbhole stocks" and "bullet buttons." And finally, 4 ) Ban semiautomatic ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Feinstein’s bill would grandfather in weapons legally owned on the day of enactment and exempts over 900 specific weapons used for sporting purposes. However, the legislation requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, which includes a background check of owner and any transferee, type and serial number of the firearm and positive identification, including photograph and fingerprints.
And it's we the people who are seen, by the pompous elitists like Feinstein, as being not responsible enough or capable enough to live out our lives with their interference. We're perceived as being just not being bright enough to recognize what's in our own best interest. So we need those in power to watch over us, to protect us and to keep us safe. They feel that because they see themselves as the privileged class, and as such they are entitled to operate well outside of the confines that have been set up by our Constitution regarding their particular branch of the federal government. And the really scary part of this whole scenario, is the fact that we can no longer rely on the Supreme Court to reliably come down on the side of freedom and the Constitution. We now have a sufficient number of individuals on the court who place a greater importance on furthering a political agenda than they do in defending the Constitution. And if that fact doesn't terrify you, you're either dead or a Democrat. A point that was recently, and quite correctly, made by a veteran in Chicago in his effort to defend the Second Amendment, is that tyranny is no less of a threat today that it was when those words granting the people the right to keep and bear arms, were first conceived.
