Watching the coverage Sunday of the terrorist attacks in El Paso and Dayton you couldn’t help but come away with the idea that President Donald Trump had been on the phone with both shooters, encouraging them, moments before they unleashed their evil. Of course, that didn’t happen. But you’d never know it if you were watching CNN or MSNBC. Nearly every guest, especially those who wanted to be invited back, used these attacks as an opportunity to smear anyone who wasn’t on board with the liberal agenda of seizing the rights of innocent people because two people embraced evil.
“It was the president’s words,” they insisted, that caused these attacks. He’s a racist, and that racism inspired these men to murder. That’s stupid and lazy, but politically convenient for people interested in using the dead to get what they want. Progressives will dance on graves before they even know what the song is.
Yet, the terrorist is El Paso was crystal clear that he was anti-immigrant, but he was also anti-corporation and automation. He also sounded like every Democrat running for president. “The American lifestyle affords our citizens an incredible quality of life. However, our lifestyle is destroying the environment of our country. The decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations. Corporations are heaing (sic) the destruction of our environment by shamelessly over harvesting resources. This has been a problem for decades,” he wrote in his manifesto.
Since the killer wanting to draw attention to those issues, were liberals also blamed by these “journalists”? Of course not. That’s not how this game works. Those points were barely mentioned, if at all.
The calls for gun control started as quickly as liberals could plug the city names into their draft press releases. “Do something,” they cried. What, exactly, they didn’t specify.
The lack of specifics is typical. The left wants to eliminate the Second Amendment, but they know they can’t get an amendment passed to repeal it, so they want to chip away at it any way they can. They view a pile of bodies as an opportunity, not a tragedy. Not one of them actually cares about the victims.
They protest, they whine, they travel to the area, they will even start using the names of the dead on the trail, but they don’t really care. They’ll just call for more laws that wouldn’t have prevented the killings in the first place, just like always.
So let’s talk about gun control. But let’s talk about it in other terms, in terms of words.
Words, liberals tell us, are violence. We’ve gone from “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me” to “words are violence.” Curiously, leftists find words to be more “violent” than the literal left-wing violence of Antifa. Weird.
Democrats fight harder for “rights” not mentioned in the Constitution – abortion, health care, a “free” college education – than they do to protect rights specifically singled out for protection from government infringement in the Bill of Rights.
That’s because Democrats want control, and they’re willing to do anything to get it. A free people can’t be controlled. So they “police” words, they seek to strip innocent people of their rights because of the actions of the guilty, they do all of this to control people.
Keep weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill, but that’s not what they want to do. They want to ban guns, seize guns. I’d bet you know people, likely many, who own so-called “assault weapons,” and I’d also bet those weapons have never been used to harm anyone. There are millions of them, and very few “mass shootings” with them.
But facts don’t matter, reality doesn’t matter. Democrats have an agenda. You cannot solidify control and power over people who are able to defend themselves.
No one hell-bent on murder has ever been deterred by the fact that murder is illegal. No one looking to use a gun to shoot a large number has been deterred by a law. If someone is that evil, they will do evil. And if someone is so shameful as to blame the president for the actions of evil people – like they were just going to go about their day, eating cheese and watching TV until they saw a tweet – how could you ever trust them with the power they seek more than anything else?
Every “journalist” and politician who proudly repeats the president’s “very fine people on both sides” like from his statement after Charlottesville, always leave off the part where he followed it up with, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.” That’s not by accident. Not all evil manifests itself in actions…
“never let a tragedy go to waste”
never mind that these murderers are their militant supporters who have themselves called for gun control...
Well of course. I veryone knows the dead are a solid voting block for the Rats.
When one of your resources is a media that can bend reality until two psychotic libtard shooters have become “White Supremacists” with the wave of their wand and “Presto Chango” why wouldn’t you use it for all it’s worth?
But dead people have been voting Democrat for years. That's the only way Democrat politicians can stay in office.
“...Democrats have an agenda. You cannot solidify control and power over people who are able to defend themselves. ...”
Boom.
The entire article boils down to those two sentences.
“Democrats have an agenda. You cannot solidify control and power over people who are able to defend themselves. “
Yup. New tagline.
You get the impression that Trump is to blame for these shootings, from the news coverage.
Heck, it’s not a stretch, to get the impression from the media, that Trump is in favor of mass shootings. Then the good liberal Democrats can preen and proclaim they are against massacres, unlike the evil Trump who wants to see carnage.
What do you expect from the drive-by media. They get their talking points from the rat candidates that run for President’s job. Or the rats get it from the drive-by media, depending how you want to look at it.
Democrats are a seedy lot only the crazy love them.
More voters!
