This past week, after the U.S. Senate failed to pass the bill on universal background checks for gun purchases, President Obama gave a speech in the Rose Garden. Reports have claimed that he was “angry,” that he “lashed out,” and that the loss was an “emotional blow” to the president. Indeed, President Obama has spent many hours for months campaigning for gun restrictions. And it seems that sensible people could reach a compromise to protect the innocent among us, while still preserving our constitutional rights.
Yet, in the midst of his anger or sorrow, the president resorted to accusations. He said:
But instead of supporting this compromise, the gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill. They claimed that it would create some sort of ‘big brother’ gun registry, even though the bill did the opposite. This legislation, in fact, outlawed any registry. Plain and simple, right there in the text. But that didn’t matter.
And unfortunately, this pattern of spreading untruths about this legislation served a purpose, because those lies upset an intense minority of gun owners, and that in turn intimidated a lot of senators. [Emphasis mine.]
In all likelihood, President Obama truly cares to make a difference on this issue for the right reasons. But his accusations bring his own statements and his own much-loved abortion lobby into question. Shall we talk about willful lies? Let’s.
In this video, Cecile Richards – president of Planned Parenthood and hardcore Obama campaigner – willfully lies about her organization providing mammograms:
In all likelihood there is almost no chance Zero does anything for the right reasons. The only issue regarding his stance on any issue is how does it further his agenda.
May Bath-House Barry eternally swim in a filthy toilet trying to get out.
Sloppy reasoning. Not reasoning at all, actually: just emoting. The idea that each bad event requires an additional law or compromise of our natural rights to "protect the innocent" is just totally dead wrong.
Anyone who imagines that Infanticide Obama, President Punished-with-a-baby, "My daughters will need those tax-funded Planned Parenthood abortions," gives a flying freep about protecting the innocent is simply delusional. "Innocent" just means "easy target" to his ilk.
