Liberals are responsible for this tragedy
Tea Party Nation ^ | 12/15/12 | Judson Phillips

Posted on 12/15/2012 6:33:39 AM PST by Thad Lost

In light of a tragedy like the shooting at Newton yesterday, the immediate reaction of conservatives is to mourn and offer our sympathies and prayers for the victims. The immediate reaction of liberals is to politicize the issue.

When we are engaged in a war for our freedom, we cannot allow the left simply dominate the narrative while we act as decent human beings.

There is one simple truth here. Guns were not responsible for what happened yesterday. Liberals were.

How?

The school at Newton like schools everywhere was declared “gun free” zones.

Why don’t we just put up a big sign here that says, “DEFENESLESS TARGETS IN THIS BUILDING!”

The left has succeeded in pushing gun control and the end result has been perfectly predictable. Everywhere gun control is imposed, violent crime rises. Washington DC has some of the most draconian gun control laws around. It is also racked with violent crime. Ditto Nanny State Queen Michael Bloomberg’s hellhole called New York City. Citizens are defenseless but criminals didn’t get the memo. They sill have guns.

Yes, I totally agree with your post. I am NOT in favor of social worker intrusion.

The solution lies within the families themselves. Parents have to commit to working through difficult issues, to staying married, and to staying closely connected to their children, in all but the most extreme circumstances.

There a lot of mentally deficient of ALL colors at Head Start. To the point that my sister who works for them was very alarmed the direction of these kids have been going the last 5 years. More and more problem kids being born.

Oh I know the truth of the matter, I’m just trying to share how these gov’t employee thugs think. There’s no reasoning with them. So so you think they will go down by causing a financial collapse? Unless private citizens that actually are productive and just want to live a normal life understand things and can be motivated to do something about it there’s no hope.

Our younger generations have been brainwashed into left thinking the last 30 plus years.
Our leftist Judges have been striking down the vote and will of the people and them push their extreme left agenda.
Unions are in it for the money and government wants them for donations.
People on the dole are lazy and will ride the dole all the way down as well.
Two years of unemployment, really?

Been to Greece, Spain, Italy and other places this year and gave discussed their problems to see what was going on compared to us and to especially my state of California.
We are doing EXACTLY what Greece and the rest have done and California i doing it in hyper-drive.

I think liberals are mental in fact since they don’t take into account basic logic and the good of the nation.

Maybe making all things equivalent (culture, programing, religions) all greatly contribute to violence and death in this country as well.

We long for easy answers, but there aren’t any. There’s not much you can physically do to prevent an insane person from killing. We have Moms strapping their kids into cars and driving the car into a lake. How do you prevent that? We have a Mom in Florida who wanted to party more than take care of her daughter. How do you prevent that? And she’s free. Gun control isn’t the answer. Even the Democrats know that.
I grew up a liberal Democrat. I even argued for gun control. We see a tragedy like this and it frightens us. We have kids and grand kids in schools. It could have been them. But, it wasn’t. This was an aberration, an insane man. The killing of the innocent children at Waco, Texas was the result of a Democrat-controlled government plan and operation. That really frightens me. They knew there were risks, but they used American military armored fighting vehicles against American citizens. That really worries me. They burned up innocent children. And we couldn’t even get Janet Reno fired because she’s a Democrat.
I know the thought that is in every Democrat leader’s head.

“It would be so much easier to implement the plans I have if I could just force people to do what I feel they should do!”

I’m way more scared of Democrat thinking than I am of one insane man. The real concern is Democrat control.

I finally had to leave CA this last summer. I along with the many fine conservative folks there tried to bring a little sanity there but as you know we are outnumbered. The public pensions (along with other things)are going to ruin CA, in fact it’s already beginning. I certainly hope things eventually get worked out in my beautiful home State. Meanwhile I am warning Texans not to let the CA liberals that have moved here to ruin the economy in this State.

Some resources on school threats for consideration. (There’s some old news here, but evil, terrorism and massacres never go out of style.)

Do you have clinical/scientific evidence to back that claim?

Do a web search of Ritalin and mass murder and tell me what you find. The two boys in Denver were on it and so was the kid who shot the congresswoman.

Mix a cocktail of Ritalin or some ADD drug, violent video and an atheistic society and this is where you come up.

Yeah, I did a study on it a couple years back and there is a high incidence. Scientific evidence, like Global Warming evidence?

CA is crazy. Right now I am in the Hills of Beverly and the local paper months ago reported the average city worker had retirement pensions set up worth on average 3.5 million.

Really; the gardeners for the city will retire better than most of the people living in Beverly Hills?

This is HOW out of hand the union/politician back scratching has been.
Why should we honor these past crazy employment contracts when they were more like a theft than compensation?

Even harder to discuss intelligently with an ego so big that it covers the eyes. Now go out and impress your friends.

If this kid was on some ADD meds then there has to be a study, something, to see if this drug is promoting this type thinking...I just do not know if he was. As well, what do you do if he was? Ban it? It does help some.

How about we don’t put every boy who doesn’t act like a good little girl on the drug to make him into a good little girl? How do you know it is helping them?
