How the Left is Insensitive, Uncaring, and Smells Bad

In a way, writing this blog today is hypocritical because it's about the insensitivity of those who are making a political [gun] issue out of the horrible Aurora, CO shooting of yesterday, and yet, I am writing about the issue myself.  I do so with the understanding that there is a need to call out morons when they behave as morons, and this is what people like Michael-Drop-That-Big-Gulp-And-Get-Against-The-Wall Bloomberg has done, along with a whole host of other liberal cretins.  So please excuse my timing in writing this--my deepest sympathy goes to the families in Aurora and my prayers go out to those who were murdered.


In an opinion column of today's New York Daily News an anonymous anti-gun, insensitive, axe to grind, blowhard, wrote the following:



Blood on hands of Obama, Mitt and NRA!  

Condolences are empty words - what actions are you gonna take?

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS


The police chief in Aurora, Colo., said he is confident that massacre gunman James Holmes acted alone. The police chief was dead wrong.
Standing at Holmes’ side as he unleashed an AR-15 assault rifle and a shotgun and a handgun was Wayne LaPierre, political enforcer of the National Rifle Association.
Standing at Holmes’ side as he sprayed bullets and buckshot into a crowded movie theater were Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, a President and a would-be President, who have bowed to the NRA’s dictates and who responded to the slaughter Friday with revolting, useless treacle.

BILL BRAMHALL/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Standing at Holmes’ side as he murdered 12 and wounded 59 were the millions of zealots who would sooner see blood flow and lives end than have to check a box on a gun registration form.
In a vain claim of innocence, the fanatics will say Holmes is a monster and a maniac, that he fired and fired and fired as a man possessed. Each protestation clamps their fingers with his around the trigger.
Because they made sure that virtually everyone, Holmes included, has unfettered legal access to heavy weaponry. And they made sure he was permitted by law to drive to the kill scene with a fully loaded arsenal.
Such is the conscienceless extremism of America’s gun lovers that they accept wholesale slaughter as akin to a fatal highway pileup. Accidents happen, in their grotesque view, and so do mass killings by firearms.

Accused shooter James Holmes.

Yes, they do. Massacres come and they go and nothing meaningful changes except that the body count goes up.
The big attacks leap to mind.
There was Columbine — amazingly, just down the road from Aurora — where two severely disaffected high school students gunned down 13.
There was Virginia Tech, where a student who had been diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder murdered 32 and wounded 17 on two rampages.

Lower death tolls — two, three, four, five — in offices, parks and restaurants slip from memory as awful but routine, cause for momentary pain and nothing more.
The day-to-day mayhem of street-crime shootings, responsible for more deaths than all the mass carnage combined, makes it to the police blotter, the courts, the newspapers, the emergency rooms and the cemeteries.
This drawing was part of the article (how sensitive)
Every Aurora-like spasm provokes the question: How did the killer get his guns? Overwhelmingly, the answer is that he acquired them legally from a licensed dealer under the permissive laws of the local jurisdiction and the deliberately porous oversight of the federal government.

President Obama says the tragic event 'reminds us of all the ways that we are united as one American family.'

In Aurora, the authorities say someone lawfully bought the weapons used by Holmes and that he carried them lawfully until the moment he pulled a trigger. Even the purchase of the AR-15, a rapid-fire, military-style semi-automatic fit for nothing but combat, was by the books.
Once, federal law would have kept Holmes’ hands off a superdeadly weapon like the AR-15. In 1994, under President Bill Clinton, Congress outlawed the manufacture and possession of assault weapons, but the statute had a 10-year expiration date.
IN 2004, it went off the books to cheers from the NRA, led by LaPierre, who keeps Washington in line and who went to ground Friday, declining comment “until all the facts are known.” As if they aren’t already.
Obama postures as supporting a new assault weapons ban but has done exactly nothing to restore the prohibition. Nor has he moved to close the loophole that allows for gun purchases without background checks at weapons shows.

Aurora Police Chief Daniel Oates.

His statement about the Aurora massacre was a dodge. Obama said in part: “If there’s anything to take away from this tragedy, it’s the reminder that life is very fragile, our time here is limited and it is precious, and what matters at the end of the day is not the small things, it’s not the trivial things which so often consume us and our daily lives.”
With all due respect, the presidential takeaway should have been a drive for strengthened gun control, if only for the assault weapons ban. In righteous anger, Obama should have confronted the NRA’s political might regardless of polls that show a strong sentiment against restoring the prohibition.
So, too, Romney, who was no less saccharine than Obama in discussing Aurora and is no less craven on gun control. As governor of Massachusetts, he signed a state assault weapons ban and defended tough anti-gun statutes. Then, as a presidential candidate, he joined the NRA and has since professed fealty to the group’s positions.
Through their inaction and their silence, Obama and Romney have fallen into line with all those who enabled Holmes to take hold of that AR-15 and will enable others to do so in the future unless America’s political leaders develop the courage to fight to save lives

Just another mindless political rant to make a point at a time when being political is politically incorrect. We should be mourning, not moaning. I say the real problem isn't guns-while legal, they still are not as easily accessible as kitchen knives. I say ban kitchen knives and follow it up with box cutters--those horrible weapons that killed those unarmed pilots of the airlines of 9-11. (If they had guns, perhaps a lot of people would not have been murdered).  After we ban box cutters we have to consider banning cars--in the hands of crazy people, cars make even more efficient weapons than guns. After all, what if this crazy b*st*rd attacked a drive-in movie playing Batman instead of a closed theater? He could have driven his car into the mess of people innocently watching the movie. Of course, planes go without saying--look at what they've done for the Islamic Jihadists in their drive to make the world one big happy caliphate.  There is always an idiot like the Opinionator [above] who wrote this balderdash in order to jump on the ban-the-gun bandwagon, because it's their agenda and being sensitive to the losses suffered isn't as important as they are. But the reason they even have this as an agenda is because they must have things their way, they need power because without power they are the meek, humble, pseudo-sensitive Marxists with nothing else to do. I think Obama falls into this category and would rather have a rodent than him for president, but I don't blame him for this. I blame the sociopath who pulled the trigger, the Muslims who flew those planes, and those who would use knives and other sharp instruments for beheading unbelievers and other innocent victims. The fact that this article comes at a time of human suffering and grief shows the insensitivity of the creep who wrote it.

As you can see, my response is awaiting moderation. I used the words "Muslim," "Jihadist," and "caliphate."  These are words that trigger moderation of content because they might offend certain people.  And believe me, you don't want to offend them--they can fly planes, use knives, and the men can even drive cars while the women watch.
