Of course it's fair that they have guns and you don't

In Dick Daley's Chicago, the law is for the Little People. The Chicago Way is the politicians' way: get to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Even on guns.

Yes, well.

It's a joke and not a joke. Real criminals are stupid. Politicians are sharp. Better know that when you take one or the other on.

We mouth breathers in flyover country simply couldn’t make it through our pathetic little lives each day without the guidance of our elected officials. Their lives are so much more valuable than ours, for after all, we would just shrivel up and die without them! So it’s vitally important that these, our saviours, be permitted to carry guns. Now excuse me while I look for my drool cup.

"Meanwhile, the taxpayers, who live without bodyguards, are told that if they want to protect themselves with a handgun just like the politicians, they themselves will be criminalized.

It is all about power in the end. "

Yup.

I find it hard to believe that this came from the Tribune. Sam Zell must be making big changes over there . . .

Once a criminal decides to run for an election, he/she automatically becomes a politician.

"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, two men are called a Law Firm, and three or more are called a Congress."

A smart criminal is naturally drawn towards politics.

"When they call the roll in the Senate, the senators do not know whether to answer ‘present’ or ‘guilty’."

One issues a “street” tax. The other makes it official (calling it property tax) and sends it out on paper.

"The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin."
--Mark Twain

My posts were a side issue. In general I hold that America works best when all citizens are equal before the law and none have special entitlement. The protections from criminal prosecution afforded public officials in the performance of their duties should be read narrowly and not expansively. E.g. Off-duty cops in New York State and City should NOT be allowed to carry if upstanding citizens in general are not allowed the same, and they are not. And yes the anti-gun laws in NY are far beyond that the Second might allow. The best --- and most lawful -- would be for all upstanding citizens to be allowed to carry.

Also veterans should not be set up as a special class! We all have our duties, whether citizen, politician or vet. I hear many a vet complain about the special perks in life that politicians have granted themselves, yet where are the vets unwilling to take every special perk they can get. I am not talking about those with grievous war injury either. Vets wounded seriously in war are indeed deserving of a special entitlement as is any government employee harmed in some extraordinary service.

This is a very important post, since it shows the real Obama. A bought and paid for product of the utterly corrupt Chicago machine.

Obama’s crew are sociopaths in $3000 silk suits. The gun control issue is the tip of the iceberg.
