1964 LETS ARM OUR KIDS!!!
As we end the week- lets hit a
few hot topics.
By the way- the chapter for the
week was Jeremiah 33.
Okay- we are still here.
Yes- the Mayan calendar thing did
not pan out.
I always had my doubts-
especially after I saw a short clip about a year ago.
Some guy was interviewing an
actual Mayan expert [priest?]
He was the real deal- dressed up and
all.
The documentary was a serious
thing- not some comedy central skit.
The priest was asked ‘and what do
you think about the end of the world prediction’.
He says- I kid you not- 'that’s a
bunch of crap’.
Form the priest!
So- I always had my doubts.
Did you hear what the preacher
said?
He couldn’t believe people could
call for stuff like this- yeah- you tell em Harold [Camping].
Okay- the news.
The other day I posted about Boehner’s
Christmas present to Obama.
The Repubs were trying to pass a
tax raise on millionaires only- and kick the ball down the road on the other
stuff.
Now- that would have been a great
deal for the Dems- they said that’s what they want [but they really don’t].
Because when the Dems saw what Boehner
was doing- they hooped and hawed and swore they would never pass it in the Dem
controlled senate.
And if it passed the President
swore he would veto the thing.
So- some Repubs in the house bailed
out- and Boehner never passed it.
O my- you would have thought the
world was coming to an end- again.
The Dems were on all the shows-
saying how this is one of the greatest failures of all time- the Tea party are
even holding their leader hostage.
On and on.
So- last night Obama says ‘lets
just pass an extension of the tax cuts for the middle class- and 0 yea- lets extend
unemployment insurance’.
Huh?
Was this not the basic plan Boehner
just tried to pass- and you swore it was a disaster?
Sure was [Obama’s quick fix would
have raised taxes on lower incomes than Boehner’s- but still- it was the same
basic thing].
He only wanted to beat the Repubs
in the house- if he were serious he would not have threatened to veto their
bill in the first place- that’s a fact.
Okay- last night the NRA guy came
out with their delayed response to the tragic shooting in Sandy Hook.
I’m not an NRA guy- never was.
I actually listened to most of
the speech- on PBS.
He advocated for- be careful now-
putting cops in the schools.
Yeah- he was careful with the
language- he said COPS.
Okay- do I think his plan will
fly?
Not on your life.
Does he think it will fly?
Probably not.
Then why float it?
They want to turn the conversation
from just gun control to a broader one.
They want to talk about kids
being raised with video games that kill people.
Hip Hop songs that talk about shooting
cops.
They want to extend the
conversation beyond more gun laws.
Sure enough- MSNBC had short
clips on the screen ‘NRA WANTS MORE GUNS IN SCHOOLS’.
Stuff like that.
I guess they equate having armed
POLICE with ‘more guns’.
So- according to this line- if
you call the cops after a school shooting- you are irresponsible- you are calling
for more guns on the scene?
See- I don’t support the NRA
view- but when a media outlet purposefully lies- misleads the people- they
destroy as much as any right winger ever did.
One clip showed the words of the
NRA speech.
They then went to some mayor who
is the head of ‘mayors against illegal guns’.
The clip of the speech said ‘lets
put cops in the schools so if another deranged person comes in to kill kids-
the cop can be there as a deterrent’.
Okay- have cops stopped people
from shooting people before?
Just about every day.
When a cop comes to shoot a bad
guy- do we usually call that ‘bringing more guns to a spot that already has too
many’?
No.
So- after the clip- the mayor for
gun control said ‘how insane- he thinks the answer to having too many guns on
the street is more guns’!
Actually- what the mayor did- and
Msnbc and the others- they answered their own question.
The NRA guy did not say he thought
this was the solution to having to many guns on the street.
He said it might prevent another
shooting- which- in reality- it just might.
But the media- the mayor- they
wanted you to think that the NRA- the ‘right wingers’ that they want more guns
in schools.
That they want ‘security guards’
in schools.
Yeah- MSNBC did not use the
actual term ‘More cops’ no- they wanted you to think ‘security guards’ and
teachers- and who knows- even arm the kids!
Yeah- keep playing the game-
nothing gets solved- you breed dissension in the country- and at the end of the
day- you harm the country.
So John- you are for the right wingers?
No- in no way.
I’m for telling the truth- on both
sides.
I am not against a ban on the 30 round
clips.
I am for the ban on ‘assault
weapons’ [though in reality- they are simply semi automatic guns- they just look
more like a military weapon].
I’m for having fewer guns on the streets-
but we live in a country whose founding document gives the right to have guns
to its citizens.
Because of this- we will never be
an Australia that bans all guns.
So- in the Sandy Hook shooting-
the kid got the guns from his mom- who legally owned them.
She lived in a state with some of
the most strict gun control laws in the land.
So- when sick people decide to
get a gun- they get it.
If we totally banned all guns- would
that reduce the threat?
Yes- because the deranged kid
would have to use another weapon- and if he did not have a gun to steal- then
yea- he would not be able to do this type of damage.
So- there are points to be made on
both sides.
But when the media- when MSNBC
describes the position of the right as wanting more guns- more guns in schools-
more guns for teachers- and heck- the right thinks the answer is more guns for
everyone!
When all the man said was ‘lets
have cops in the schools’.
Then we will get nowhere.
Because the uninformed [the
viewers of MSNBC] will have no idea what the real debate is about.
Note- Do me a favor, those who
read/like the posts- re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read
them on. Thanks- John. Don’t forget to scroll down on the timeline [Facebook] -
