You Are a Child, Robert Francis O’Rourke

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Give him credit, the dude knows how to get attention. – Irish Bob O’Rourke has always been an attention-seeker, and he’s always been good at it.

From his college career as a furry drunk-driving punk rocker and inept burglar, to his do-nothing terms in congress, to his failed challenge of Ted Cruz in 2018 to his rumblin’ stumblin’ bumblin’ three-time-re-booted presidential campaign, Irish Bob has always been able to gain the attention of an eager fake news media, the public and his opponents. The problem for him, his long-suffering parents and now his political party has been that his efforts to grab attention seem to pretty much always end in failure, often in disaster.

The past few days have provided a prime example of O’Rourke getting an unwarranted level of attention that will almost certainly redound disastrously for the Democrat Party. Think about it: Here is a guy who is barely averaging 2% in the national polling who yet again became the major topic of conversation on the Sunday morning talk shows. It all started last Thursday during the latest Democrat debate when O’Rourke uttered the threat, “Hell, yes we are going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.”

Call it the threat heard round the world. In making that threat, that “we” are coming for your guns, and having not one single other person on that stage rebut him, O’Rourke overtly committed not only himself but all the other contenders for the Democrat Party’s presidential nomination to doing what every gun owner in America has always known the leftists ultimately want to do, which is coming to get our guns.

That, after all, is the most important step in the creation of a fascist state, which is something the Democrat Party has been working diligently towards for the last century now. Fascist thuggery requires a docile, disarmed public, and Democrats from Franklin Roosevelt to George McGovern to Dianne Feinstein to Barack Obama to Bernie Sanders have been hinting around about gun confiscation for decades now, while always being careful to couch it in deceptive talking points designed to convince voters that it’s just baby steps, that they’re not coming for ALL of your guns and besides, it’s all for your own good.

But not Irish Bob. Irish Bob needed attention to try to re-re-re-re-boot his flailing campaign one more time, so he just blurted it out, right there on live national television. O’Rourke made a modest effort to sort of walk back his remarks on Sunday, but too late: The jack-booted cat is out of the bag now, and there’s no going back.

Delaware Senator Chris Coons gets it: “I’m a gun owner,” Coons said Friday in an interview on CNN. “My sons and I have gone skeet shooting and hunting and, frankly, I don’t think having our presidential candidates, like Congressman O’Rourke did, say that we’re going to try and take people’s guns against their will is a wise either policy or political move. That that clip will be played for years at Second Amendment rallies with organizations that try to scare people by saying Democrats are coming for your guns.”

Yes, it will. Because that’s what the Democrats ultimately will be doing if they ever regain full power in Washington.

Preacher Pete Buttigieg echoed Coons’s comments on CNN later on Sunday afternoon. You can bet other Democrats confronted with Irish Bob’s attention-seeking comments will be doing the same as their Party desperately attempts to crawfish its way back under cover of its deceptive talking points this week.

Irish Bob’s real problem is that he is still a child emotionally. He was probably largely ignored by his parents as a toddler, and figured out he could get their attention by throwing fits. Even in his mid-40s, he is still that 10 year-old brat at the beach who sits and watches as three other kids spend an hour carefully building a sand castle and then rushes in to kick it down just as they’re about to be finished.

In the wake of the tragic El Paso shootings in August, the shameless opportunist has now tried both approaches to bring attention onto himself. First, he decided the best way to exploit the tragedy was to be the loudest Democrat blaming it all on President Donald Trump. He figured the best way to be the focus of attention would be to drop a lot of F-Bombs while branding the President as a “white supremacist.”

When that third re-booting of his campaign by tossing a toddler fit didn’t work out for him amidst the cacophony of fellow Democrats deploying the same strategy, he realized he had to re-group. That was when he landed on the strategy of kicking down the gun confiscation sand castle his Party has spent a century constructing.

And just like that, with one nationally-televised kick of Irish Bob’s boot, that sand castle of deception has been washed away with the tide.

GOP Congressman Briscoe Cain got it right on Friday when he told O’Rourke, “You are a child, Robert Francis.”

Emotionally, that is absolutely true. But once again, Irish Bob the child got his attention, and that’s all that matters to him.

That is all.

O’Rourke just said out loud what they all want to do and have wanted to do for decades. Now it’s time to pin this to every single Dem down the ticket without mercy.

Most of us have known this for decades. I could make a pretty good case that this is the reason FReeRepublic exists.

[Nateman]

...let the jack booted cat out of the bag

There are a lot of jack booted RAT elites who are angry he has . The useful idiots who vote RAT stupidly cheered him on

[Lurker]

“I could make a pretty good case that this is the reason FReeRepublic exists.”

As could I.

Let them blather about confiscation of our guns. It’s not going to happen even if they could pass these laws and get SCOTUS to go along. And I’ll tell you why I believe that.

This weekend Mrs. L and I attended an event at a local private gun club which has about 2,500 members. It’s located in the far western suburbs of Chicago. Yep, 2,500 memebers. Well over 400 guests attended and almost every single one of them was carrying one of these rifles they want to take from us. The only exceptions were kids and they were shooting rifles owned by one or both of their parents.

We saw 12 year old girls carrying Glocks and Sigs. 10 year old boys had Ruger 10-22s with 25 round magazines.

We shot 3 gun, IPSC, IDPA, and other courses of fire including a tower on a 600 yard precision rifle range. (Yep, I still got it. Ain’t as fast as I used to be but if I can see it I can hit it.)

This one single club could easily field over 1,000 very skilled and very well equipped shooters on 24 hours notice, I’m sure. There were more than just a few combat vets of all ages. The CMP guys were Korea and VN vets and had a BAR, a 1919 air Cooled Browning LMG, and an MG-42. All semiauto but still...

Would a few of these folks fold and hand their stuff over? Sure. Would a hell of a lot of them refuse and fight if necessary? You betcha. Hell, I don’t think the entire Illinois National Guard could disarm these folks and that’s assuming a majority of them would even follow such orders. I’d bet over half would walk away immediately and join the good guys bringing a whole lot of hardware with them.

So let these idiots blather about buy backs and bans. All that does is drive more and more people to our side. That doesn’t mean I think we should ignore them. To the contrary. I think we should help them spread their message far and wide and loud.

Get them out in the open for once. Pin this O’Rourke idiot and his damnable statements to whom ever gets their nomination. Then we crush them down to dog catcher in the November general election.

It won’t be easy but it must be done. The alternative is a civil war that would make the 1860s look like a Sunday school picnic. No one in their right mind wants that.

Beato has become one of my top five most hated people on my list. He might have moved to number one. What an ass. What does he think he’s going to take our guns away with? Another gun. He makes the case for a violent gun nut himself.

[Liz]

Republicans better sharpen their oppo-research.

This was out there last time he ran but never surfaced in the campaign.

Drunk driving mug shot....................punk rocker in a print dress.

=================================

And this

BETO SLAPPED DOWN BY THE LEFT----Left-wing activists and liberal journalists
mocked “Beto” after he told Vanity Fair that he was “born” to run for president.
The left says he "reeks of white male privilege." (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

================================

Imbeciles like Beto, desperate for traction, make it up as he falls farther in the polls....
The moron actually said police shoot blacks “solely based on the color of their skin”...with not a scintilla of evidence.
This we know: Beto is about two burritos short of a Taco Bell special....and we have proof.

[SamAdams76]

The best way to expose gun grabbers is to shine a light on them. A very bright light.

Beto's "We are coming for your guns" needs to be played and re-played constantly between now and Election Day. This is what the Democrats have always wanted and now it's out in the open. So shine that light and keep it bright.

[Texan]

I really would like to know what Beto's wealthy father-in-law thinks of his idiotic son-in-law.

Also, what this man-child will do for a living once he drops out of the race.

[super7man]

try to scare people by saying Democrats are coming for your guns

Worked for me. Picking up 2 AR lowers today.

[HotHunt]

I read somewhere over the weekend that Beto thought Americans would cooperate and turn their guns in voluntarily without a fight.

Now there's a guy who's unrealistic and naive, to say the least.

An immature child would be the best description of him.

[detective]

For one of the few times in his life O’Rourke told the truth.

The carefully scripted lies of his fellow Democrats were exposed.

This is like a 3 card Monte dealer saying of course the game is rigged. And everyone else is telling him to shut up.

All the Democrat candidates are spoiled children. O’Rourke’s problem is not that he is a child. It is that he tells the truth once in a while.

[Howie66]

I thank the Lord every day that I have two sons that are nothing at all like Irish Bob.

[unixfox]

Their (the Socialists/Democrats/Communists) real plan has been exposed and they are pissed. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Banning guns was to be done in a piece meal method. One little trick at a time.

[sauropod]

Yep. Absolutely!
