Hey gun control guys. I realize how you guys must not be very fond of our founding fathers and you probably hate the Constitution for the very same reason. BUT this is the thing. On any list of things that are fundamentally important, high priority being number 2 on the list means in practical purposes, FUGGGEHHTABOUTIT. No. 2 is not going away, EVER.
If I were you I'd make peace with myself and take the gay rights in your state, marriage, equal rights and stuff as having got done the damnest liberal thing you will ever be able to take credit for and call it a day. And if it really, really keeps on ruining your day, listen to our great Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Vader, (yeah,with a "V") Ginsburg who doesn't like our Constitution much either, preferring South Africa and Egypt's to ours. So go ahead and live a little. Relocate to either the has been, economically downtrodden South Africa or the country that put the Spring in Arab, where you can get yourself a child bride if you know the right people or where if you get tired of her and you can text divorce her in a matter of seconds. Stay for awhile and get back to us about your experiences, especially about the Egyptian Constitution. That is, if you CAN MAKE IT BACK.
“...this strategy was about ensuring the president had a united front as he pushed for new laws — and that he won’t shoulder the blame if and when the negotiations fail.”
Translation: I, Barak Hussein Obama II, am Emperor, and therefore get all the credit — unless it fails and then someone else gets all the blame!
So, liberals claimed Cheney broke the law by involving representatives of the oil industry in discussions of energy policy.
But Obama can coordinate with the press and activist groups all they want.
“It’s not like they’re being bullies....”
Oh no, of course not, no way. That’s why denying that came to your mind so quickly “Anon”.
It shows that the groups are actually more interested in access to power than to trying to advance their agenda.
Amusing, but typical. Especially on the Left side of the political spectrum.
This is a strong strategy on Obama’s part. He can get away with it because the press gives him a pass but they don’t give republicans a pass when they do it.
The most transparent administration ever.
no dounbt the left will do as they always do and make a group , call it gun rights but then push an anti gun law or steps to banning guns and then be presented by the lkeft as a offical gun group so the left can mention how gun groups are on board with them and their anti gun laws
If something gets to Obama’s desk to sign then Obama can tell them it worked,.
If nothing gets to Obama’s desk then they will look like suckers.’
Obama called for a whole list of gun controls and now they will be lucky if anything passes. Why is that not his failure?
Last night maddow equated the NRA to the cigarette lobby of the 1990s and guns to cigarettes, she also claimed that neither had/has grass roots support and are both just corporatiions staging grass roots support.
She is keeping the flame going for Obama.
