It was during his announcement, earlier today, of
his new executive actions aimed at reducing gun violence that Barry actually went
so far as to quote Jesus. Barry’s passage of choice comes from the Gospel of
John: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.” And it was then, while
working up some crocodile tears, that Barry then proceeded to make what, I
guess, was intended to be his emotional argument for more gun control laws, and
in trying to come across as sincere, he ticked off a list of recent mass
shootings, including the 2012 shooting at an elementary school in Newtown,
Conn., in which 20 children were fatally shot.
Barry said, “Our unalienable right to life and
liberty and the pursuit of happiness - those rights were stripped from college
kids in Blacksburg and Santa Barbara and from high schoolers in Columbine, and
from first graders in Newtown - first graders - and from every family who never
imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a
gun.” He went on to say, wiping ‘tears’ from his face, “Every time I think
about those kids, it gets me mad, and by the way, it happens on the streets of
Chicago everyday.” I find it more than a
bit curious that those unalienable rights to which he refers don’t extend to
the unborn, only those shot with a gun.
And strange that he doesn’t seem to feel that same
level of level of anger when it comes to the fact that over 300,000 babies that
were brutally murdered by Planned Parenthood just last year. Unfortunately it’s those ‘victims’ that Barry
apparently doesn’t think are worth the shedding of tears. And yet it strikes me as being more than disgusting
how Barry could be so selective when it come for whom he’s willing to shed a
tear. Those who are made to die even
before even entering this world are seen as being a necessary sacrifice, their
death seen as being required in order to advance the leftist cause. But, I digress. That, I suppose is a topic for another
day.
Anyway, Barry went on to say, “So, all of us need to
demand a Congress brave enough to stand up to the gun lobby’s lies. All of us
need to stand up and protect its citizens. All of us need to demand governors
and legislators and businesses do their part to make our communities
safer.” Barry said the U.S. is “the only
advanced country on earth” that sees this kind of violence that happens with
this frequency. And he added, “The gun
lobby might be holding Congress hostage right now, but they can’t hold America
hostage.” Obviously Barry views the gun
lobby much differently than he views the abortion lobby, but which results in
the higher body count?
Barry said, “We need the wide majority of
responsible gun owners who grieve with us every time this happens and feel like
your views are not being properly represented to join with us to demand
something better.” He went on to say,
“Yes, the gun lobby is loud, and it is organized in the defense of making it
effortless for guns to be available to anybody anytime. Well you know what? The
rest of us, we all need to be just as passionate. We have to be just as
organized in defense of our kids.” Why is
it that those of us who organize in the defense of the unborn are not seen as
being responsible, but just the opposite?
We’re seen as being the enemy.
Ya know, it would be just oh so much easier to
believe that this guy was more interested in saving lives than he is in gutting
the Second Amendment if he wasn’t, at the same time, dedicating so much of his
time to defending Planned Parenthood’s rather nasty business of selling baby
parts. How can one quote the Bible in
one instance and pretend the Bible doesn’t even exist in another? Barry cries crocodile tears in the attempt to
convince those watching that he genuinely cares about those who die at the
hands of someone with a gun. And yet he
has proven time and again that he cares nothing about those who are made to die
for the sake of convenience.
