It hasn’t been 24 hours and the ghouls are already
feeding off the slain in Connecticut.
Shame is a foreign word to these liberals. Most people would recoil at the horrors of
murdered school children; but not these people.
The Progressives don’t see tragedy.
What they see is an opportunity to advance their agenda. Here are comments from the usual suspects:
"With all the carnage from
gun violence in our country, it's still almost impossible to believe that a
mass shooting in a kindergarten class could happen," Bloomberg said.
"It has come to that. Not even kindergarteners learning their A,B,Cs are
safe. We heard after Columbine that it was too soon to talk about gun laws. We
heard it after Virginia Tech. After Tucson and Aurora and Oak Creek. And now we
are hearing it again. For every day we wait, 34 more people are murdered with
guns. Today, many of them were five-year olds."Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, Bloomberg's fellow co-chair, said he is "overcome with both grief and outrage" after the shooting and called for more to be done.
"As a mayor who has witnessed too many lives forever altered by gun violence, it is my responsibility to fight for action," he said. "Today’s tragedy reminds us that now is the time for action. Innocent children will now never attend a prom, never play in a big game, never step foot on a college campus. Now is the time for a national policy on guns that takes the loopholes out of the laws, the automatic weapons out of our neighborhoods and the tragedies like today out of our future.”
Of course what would a tragedy be without the musings of Michael Moore, who is a big fan of Hugo Chavez and the Cuban regime:
Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore lashed out at the National Rifle Association this afternoon after news broke about the horrific shooting in Connecticut.
“The NRA hates freedom,” he wrote on Twitter. “They don’t want you to have the freedom to send your children to school & expect them to come home alive.”
Moore insisted earlier that it was important for gun control proponents to discuss the issue – especially during times of tragedy.
“The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health care, and an end to violence as public policy,” he wrote.
A member of Congress, another New Yorker, stated she will embarrass the Obama regime if they don’t enforce strict gun laws:
In the wake of the deadly Connecticut school shooting, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy said she has warned the White House “the gloves are off” if President Obama fails to act on the issue.
McCarthy (D-N.Y.), the foremost gun control advocate in Congress, said she spoke with White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew before Election Day and told him she will exert pressure on the White House to push for gun control legislation.
“I said, ‘Jack, I know the president is going through an election and I’m telling you after the election I’m coming out full force,’” McCarthy told POLITICO Friday. “I was just giving the White House a heads up that the gloves are off on my side and I was going to do everything I possibly could. … If that meant embarrassing everybody, that’s what I would do.”
It’s too bad she didn’t embarrass the administration when it came to Fast and Furious, but hey this isn’t political, so she says.
You have to shake your head at the reactions of these liberals. They’re willing to place blame on an inanimate object, instead of addressing the root cause of this evil. Maybe these godless heathens should take a look in the mirror before trampling on our Second Amendment rights. But that reflection is too damn ugly for them to bear.
