I Knew Obama Would Not Let Me Down
Mar 15, 2011 Political
It took about 2 months but Obama finally did what I knew he wanted to do all along. He finally started a discussion about more gun control in this country. I had figured he would start that dialog right after the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords but he waited. He did not want to let a crisis go to waste but he did not want to appear as if he was anxious to capitalize on the tragedy, which he certainly was.
Obama tells a whopper right off the bat when he claims that there was not a lot of finger pointing after the incident. This is revisionist history. In fewer than 2 hours after the shooting the left was blaming everyone it could think of. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, talk radio, the Tea Party, you name it. The only person the left did not blame was the criminal who pulled the trigger. From all accounts, he was a left wing nut job…
I also think his numbers on children killed are way off but the truth is not his strong point.
Barack Obama wants common sense rules and thinks we should be doing a little more. He thinks it is awful that a nut like the Giffords shooter was able to get a gun. We need to do more, he says, to keep people who should not have guns from getting them. Everyone would agree with common sense rules, right?
We have 20,000 different gun laws on the books. We have states that violate the Second Amendment and this guy wants to make it tougher.
You see, the gun laws we have now were not the problem with regard to the Giffords shooting. The lack of law enforcement doing its job was the problem. The DEMOCRAT sheriff and his department had reports about the shooter and had dealings with him on a number of occasions. But since his mother worked for the local government he was left alone. Even though he frightened people at college and was not allowed back until he was evaluated, the DEMOCRAT sheriff did not do his job.
If the shooter had been picked up and held for a psychological evaluation then he could have been reported as a mental health concern and would not have been allowed to buy a gun. Let us not brush aside the fact that he bought his weapon legally because he was never picked up by the police.
All the laws in the world will not prevent this from happening if the DEMOCRAT sheriff refuses to enforce them.
PERIOD.
Ever notice how easy it is for a person (like Obama) who has thousands of armed people around him at all times to discuss how we need to have common sense rules to own or carry weapons?
I do not agree with his plan. Make all 50 states SHALL issue states and allow all law abiding citizens who want to carry guns to do so.
Keep criminals in jail, send the illegals back home and prevent those with mental illness from buying weapons. But do not impose stupidity on the rest of us because some mental case was ignored by the DEMOCRAT sheriff.
It was a tagedy Barack but the gun did not cause it. The moron who pulled the trigger did and he was enabled by the moron DEMOCRAT sheriff who was derelict in his duties.

Political Blame Game
Jan 11, 2011 Political
Of course, the political blame game continues in full force today. Everyone is yelling and pointing fingers. The left is in full attack mode, blaming the right. The right is in full defense mode, pointing out all the times that the left has used the exact same words. But few people are actually blaming the shooter.
I like what Pat Buchanan has to say. I like his comparison to the 1933 assassination and the swift justice. But that’s not the political reality of today, is it?
I’d like to mention one other aspect of this story. I know it’s not going to be a popular opinion. In fact, it might even get me tossed from this blog. Big Dog, it’s your blog, and if you feel my views are too far out there, feel free to let me know. But I have been thinking about this since yesterday, and I think it needs to be pointed out, even if it’s only to the four or five readers of this blog.
First, I want to point out, I’m not in favor of violence to achieve political ends. I don’t believe it can work in this country. I don’t like violence at all. I think defensive violence is justified. But I do not think that this shooter should have shot the Congresswoman. I don’t support him, or anyone using violence against the system. In fact, as I have pointed out numerous times on this very blog, I don’t support using force against people to get them to make any decisions. I think using force to achieve political goals is wrong. But know who doesn’t? Do you know who believes in hiring mercenaries and using violence to reach political goals? I hate to say it, but Gabby Giffords does.
When she supported the Obamacare bill, she supported legislation that will force people to spend money the way she wants them to spend money. And that legislation hires policemen to make people pay. And if you don’t pay, that very legislation will send police to your house to jail or kill you if you do not do as Mrs. Giffords says. That’s not my opinion, that’s a fact.
So again, I do not support using violence to get my way. I don’t think Mrs. Giffords, or anyone else, should be shot for disagreeing with my political views. I’m not blaming Mrs. Giffords, I only blame the person who pulled the trigger. I pray for Mrs. Giffords and everyone else shot, and I hope she recovers. But I don’t see how people can be too surprised at violence used here — because the government supports using violence against people to achieve their political ends every single day.

Finding Someone To Blame
Jan 9, 2011 Political
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is in critical condition, many others are wounded and five or six are dead. A gunman began shooting yesterday and caused mayhem in Tuscon. Almost immediately a concerted effort from the left was made to place the blame for this tragedy and the fingers were pointed at the Tea Party, the right wing, and Sarah Palin. This was all coordinated and planned and it is inaccurate,
The left needs someone to blame and they love to pin violence on the Tea party and others even though these groups have not done anything violent (all the violence has been from the left). The website Daily Kos congratulated Sarah Palin for a job well done and displayed the map she used that had bulls eyes on seats that were targeted. While the little weasel at Kos was doing this he scrubbed a post where Giffords was dead to a constituent and failed to mention that he himself had put Giffords on a targeted list of Democrats who were not liberal enough.
The Democrats and its media wing ignored the reports of the shooter being left-wing and listing the Communist Manifesto as his favorite reading material. That would make him a left wing nut, not a right wing one.
I do not believe Kos or anyone else is responsible for what happened. I only point out their actions to show that if we are to believe the claims of talk causing the problem then these people are guilty of the same kind of talk. Therefore, they are as guilty as those they blame.
And if we want to carry it further then Barack Obama is just as much to blame because he is the one who labeled Americans as enemies and urged violence on behalf of his campaign and agenda. We bring a gun, he said. Get in their faces he said. Looks like the whack job who did this brought a gun and got in her face. He is as guilty as anyone else.
That is, if we are laying blame on anyone other than the lunatic who did this.
You see, I know that the only person who is responsible for this tragedy is Jared Loughner. He and he alone is responsible for what happened and he should be prosecuted and, if he is found guilty, executed for his crime. But the absolute truth of the matter is, he is responsible for what took place.
Not Sarah Palin, not Kos, not the right or left wing but Jared Loughner.
And it would be helpful to the political discourse if the politicians, the pundits and the media stopped trying to lay blame on anyone but Loughner.
Congresswoman Giffords and all those affected by this horrible tragedy are in my prayers. They deserve all of our prayers and not this senseless and unfounded finger pointing.
