With the first heart-breaking headlines out of Colorado, gun-rights advocates just had to know that leftist lecturers in our media would mount their soap boxes and trash this country for its gun culture and trash the National Rifle Association as an "enabler of death -- paranoid, delusional, and as venomous as a scorpion."
But it's additionally sad that the soap box in this case is paid for by taxpayers -- in the form of taxpayer support for every PBS station that spews out this leftist loathing. On his show Moyers & Company, 78-year-old PBS omnipresence Bill Moyers reached back to America's inhumane and vicious Westward expansion, when so many blood-thirsty Americans were killed because of their ineptitude with firearms:
MOYERS: We are after all a country which began with the forced subjugation into slavery of millions of Africans and the reliance on arms against Native Americans for its Westward expansion. In truth, more settlers traveling the Oregon Trail died from accidental, self-inflicted gunshots wounds than Indian attacks - we were not only bloodthirsty but also inept.
Nonetheless, we have become so gun loving, so blasé about home-grown violence that in my lifetime alone, far more Americans have been casualties of domestic gunfire than have died in all our wars combined. In Arizona last year, just days after the Gabby Giffords shooting, sales of the weapon used in the slaughter - a 9 millimeter Glock semi-automatic pistol - doubled.
We are fooling ourselves. That the law could allow even an inflamed lunatic to easily acquire murderous weapons and not expect murderous consequences. Fooling ourselves that the Second Amendment’s guarantee of a "well-regulated militia" be construed as a God-given right to purchase and own just about any weapon of destruction you like. That's a license for murder and mayhem and it's a great fraud that has entered our history.
There's a video of which I'd like to remind you. You can see it on YouTube. In it, Adam Gadahn, an American born member of al Qaeda, the first U.S. citizen charged with treason since 1952, urges terrorists to carry out attacks on the United States. Right before your eyes he says: "America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely, without having to show an identification card. So what are you waiting for?"
The killer in Colorado waited only for an opportunity, and there you have it - the arsenal of democracy transformed into the arsenal of death and the NRA -- the NRA is the enabler of death -- paranoid, delusional, and as venomous as a scorpion. With the weak-kneed acquiescence of our politicians, the National Rifle Association has turned the Second Amendment of the Constitution into a cruel hoax, a cruel and deadly hoax.
Anyone who thinks PBS is not a left-wing propaganda system supported involuntarily (in part) by conservative Americans has never flipped the remote control past the "public" broadcasting channels. The funders of PBS are enablers of vicious anti-conservative rhetoric, even at times of great national sorrow.
Medical mistakes kill 100,000 patients a year so lets ban all doctors.
Keep the pretty nurses though.
And what does Islam emulate Mr Moyers? Notice how leftists never concluded that Islam was the cause of 9/11 and the Ft Hood shootings..gotta love liberal hypocrisy
Sounds like Old Bill is painting a self portrait.
Patience, mountainlion, patience. The Liberals are working hard on all of it!
Moyers is the typical Mouthpiece of the Middle Left, unfortunately! He is a Flaming A**HOLE without any respect for America! Deport Moyers today to Egypt! He should be thrilled there! What a SUCK A**! he really is! Years ago, I used to respect Moyers, now I pray I can piss on his SATAN’S GRAVE and know he will rot in Hell with those Black Things crawling all over Him like Clinton reported His Only Terror of Dieing “IS” after having those black Monsters climbing all over HIM during His Heart Failure! CLINTOON knows now HE is going to HELL for Eternity! as is HILLARY as WELL! They are SATAN’S PROPHETS and ENABLERS!
Bill Moyers is just trying to cover up the fact that a LIBERAL killed these people. A LIBERAL shot up the theater. A LIBERAL, once again, proves just how dangerous liberals are. LIBERALS are the most hate-filled, mean-spirited, intolerant, murders ever. Always have been, always will be.
He has to do something to justify the Millions PBS pays him.
Your tax dollars at work for communism.
Pray for America
Funny thing, Mr. Moyers .... Mr LIEberal .... Mr. Media Maggot ..... gun sales have SHOT THROUGH THE ROOF (no pun intended) since one thing happened a couple of years ago. That one thing was Obama getting elected .... you know, the guy with a fraudulent bc, the guy who celebrates Ramadan but can’t be bothered to acknowledge D-Day or National Prayer Day. That guy in the WH that is intent on destroying the country ..... that anti-American whose lawless, Constitution trampling, power-grabbing actions we all feel the need to be able to PROTECT OURSELVES from. Bad things happen Mr. Bill Maggot - including crazies killing other people - if he couldn’t get guns, he would have used a bomb or run a car into a crowd. If someone wants to kill, they don’t need a gun to do it. So, Mr. Maggot .... you have a right to say your ‘piece’ - I have a right to keep mine.
Bet that Oregon Trail statistic is pure fabrication.
Pray for America
ETERNITY IS A HECK OF A LONG TIME LONGER THAN SIX< SEEN< OR EVEN NINE LONG DECADES LIVING HERE ON GOD’S TREASURED EARTH!
I BELIEVE IN JESUS and HIS FATHER< GOD! CREATOR OF OUR BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME UNIVRESE! AND OF EACH OF US TO A CELL!
SEND OBAMA to were he belongs, a cell in Levenworth to rot to Hades until SATAN finally sucks the HOMO back to HELL for Eternity!
They told me in ‘64 that if I voted for Goldwater the economy would sink and the war in Vietnam would get worse. I did vote for Goldwater and lo and behold, they were rignt!
It’s sickening how these “progressives” portray themselves as being the ones who care about people. They don’t even have the decency to wait until the deceased have been properly buried.
Moyers, couldn’t your damned crusade have waited for one lousy week? You foul blackhearted monster.
This is even dumber that the old "we spent all this money on the Y2K bug and then nothing happened !" complaint.
Poor old man can't fathom that maybe one of the reasons Indian attacks didn't kill so many was that THE SETTLERS HAD GUNS .
Bill, since you think Adam Gadahn's rantings have some contribution to make to public policy in the US, I invite you to go down to a "gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle". Give it a try and get back to us, hmmm?
So tired of this country and this society basing its decisions on the outright lies told by the Left.
Medical mistakes kill 100,000 patients a year so lets ban all doctors.
Keep the pretty nurses though.
60’s-70’s tight white nurse outfits and voluminously implanted babes?
*sprong*
Shyeah......
The USA will be a better place when the likes of Bill Moyers are pushing up daisies. Rot in Hades Bill!
