Dems ready to 'exploit' school shooting for gun control
So, they don't want to have a discussion about mental illness in America...or a discussion about better protecting our schools with principles or security having access to firearms, instead of these 'gun-free zones'. Or how about our cultural glorification of violence? And if we can't even allow God into the public square anymore, by all means, we can't talk about evil in the world, can we? No conversations about good and evil, right and wrong...those are politically sensitive and incorrect. No, it's easier to scapegoat an object than to address real societal issues. And to expand on that scapegoat, some politicians are sick enough to 'exploit' the horrific massacre of little children to gain more governmental control. Is transitioning us into a society of sitting ducks not mentally deranged? I guess we can't talk about that either...
Breitbart: Dem. Rep. Jerrold Nadler is at least being honest about how he, and no doubt many Leftists, would like to feast off an unthinkable tragedy and exploit it in order to pursue a nonsensical agenda that would ensure only bad guys have guns. [Friday] night on "The Ed Show," Nadler openly called for President Obama to "exploit" the murder of 20 children, “I think we will be there if the president exploits it, and otherwise we’ll go on to the next.”
In his statement to the country, while he wasn't specific about what action he intended to take, President Obama did make clear that action would be forthcoming. Obama also hinted that this action would be politically divisive when he warned that "meaningful action" would need to be taken "regardless of the politics."
As we all know this is a "never let a crisis go to waste" president and party. And what we now have is Nadler, a powerful Democrat, already eager to "exploit" raw emotions and the massacre of children in order to push an issue Democrats have considered politically untouchable since Al Gore lost his home state of Tennessee, and along with it, the White House, during his 2000 presidential bid.
Culturally, politically, intellectually, and in the Supreme Court, Democrats long ago lost in their unconstitutional crusade to grab our guns, a crusade they had been waging for decades. But as is the case with all things Leftist, the battle is never really over. These are mercenary opportunists always biding their time, always waiting to strike, and always willing to exploit even the most unspeakable of events if it means any kind of political advantage.
Besides a more lawless land coming to fruition when I think about the law-abiding being more restricted, because we know the lawbreaker will always seek lawlessness; Franklin's quote also comes to mind: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Our society has already turned away from so many liberties bestowed on us...is this really the direction we seek, America?
