A Thoroughly Dangerous Man
As the left tries to find more and more ways to violate our Constitutional rights, we have the Vice President of the United States offering advice to responsible gun owners, or those considering buying guns that is extraordinarily dangerous. For someone who is hell-bent on ending gun violence he recommends reckless gun handling that could easily get an innocent person killed or injured.

We have to make those icky, scary guns illegal. But progressives know that is a bridge too far. So let’s just chip away at it a little at a time. Cap the size of gun magazines at a maximum of ten bullets, then we’ll follow New York’s lead and make it seven. When the next mass shooting happens, and it will because none of these laws do a damn thing to curtail the real problem, they’ll pass laws to make it five, then three, then one. The murder rate will climb, and then the terrorists and Al-Qaeda will smile and say America is now ripe for attack.
On December 14, 2012 a 20-year old madman slaughtered twenty children and six adults in the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut. It was an act so heinous, the mind struggles to comprehend it.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, another presidential proxy, met with Republicans to put on the table the furthest thing from a serious solution to the impending “fiscal cliff.” This is both sad but unsurprising. Considering that President Obama has sent several budgets to Capital that didn’t garner a single vote from either side of the aisle is the unsurprising part. The sad part is that this country gave him the benefit of the doubt with a second term and he begins with the view that he is so clever he can dictate any terms he wants.
As our so-called leaders are focusing on what won’t solve the problem, taxes, rather than focusing on what will solve the problem, cutting spending, we are being told calamity awaits us in the form of the “fiscal cliff.” [click to continue…]
Let’s recap what the winners in the recent election ran on. The Republican and conservative message was strongly against raising taxes and it was also for undoing ObamaCare. President Obama ran on raising taxes on the wealthy and saying he was a lesser evil than Romney. The Republicans maintained control over the House of Representatives. President Obama was reelected.
In watching the talking heads on the news, as ways to address the fiscal cliff are discussed, it is very clear how irresponsible the Democrats are. When a Republican in interviewed, such as Lindsey Graham, Saxby Chambliss, John McCain, they talk about trying to work something out. What that really means is how they will break their no new taxes pledge, provided real spending cuts are on the table. Then the discussion drills down on how much in new taxes they would support. When a Democrat is interviewed, such as Dick Durban, or Chris Van Hollen, the talk is about how much taxes have to increase. Nobody is talking about spending cuts in any meaningful way.
One of the key failures of Republicans has been their failure on messaging. The Democrats start telling a tale and repeat it with the determination of a Sham-wow pitchman. The Republicans shrug it off as nonsense and then are shocked on election day to find out that millions of people now own Sham-wows.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, many in the New York area are experiencing a flashback to the early ’70s with long gas lines. Fortunately it is a temporary situation and folks have been keeping their cool. Click to read more
As the days until the election click off Tim Bishop seems to be following President Obama’s lead in distorting facts and hoping nobody notices.
