REPUBLICANS AND GLENN BECK..KILLER OF CHILDREN AND POLICE

As Seen on America The Not So Beautiful

June 11, 2014

Why was I born in this country? Why couldn’t I be born in Canada? Or Great Britain? I ask myself these questions on an almost daily basis these days. This country hasn’t been great in a very long time. And we are undoubtedly slipping and sliding into total destruction. There is no doubt about it. None at all.

People from other countries, violent third world countries, have come here, to the United States in the past and have asked for asylum. Can I do that now? Can I go to Canada and beg them to let me become a citizen of their great country since my country has become a nation of extreme violence where at any time I can be killed by a right wing scum nut with a gun? Can I? I wanna know!

It happens every day now. Police officers are shot dead in cold blood while they get their lunch. They are shot dead by two lowlife scumbag Tea Party members. They are members of the Republican party as the Tea Party has not separated yet. Has not been told to separate by the “mainstream” Republicans. So therefore they are one and the same. These two individuals were at Bundy Ranch, they hated Obama and anyone on “food stamps.” Sounds very “mainstream” Republican to me.

They killed two police officers because they thought they were fighting the new “revolution.” They draped the officers bodies in “Don’t Tread On Me” flags. That’s a slogan we hear all of the time from right wingers, who believe that freedom is being poor with guns. So they can fight the awful police and government agencies who want to take their freedoms away. You can see how sick this is. How mentally fucked up these people are, they are psychotics who are running loose in our streets. Murdering our police officers and threatening to do the same to our politicians. Something else we can blame the most awful President of our times, Ronald Reagan for, letting the crazies out of the mental institutions and those crazies were allowed to procreate and now we deal with their evil spawn.

GLENN BECK MUST BE ARRESTED

We deal with them on our television sets. Glenn Beck should be arrested. He should be arrested now. In 2010 Beck, one of those crazies I spoke about, told his followers to “Shoot them in the head” regarding the “communists” who want a revolution. Now with the majority of Beck’s audience being psychopathic, that statement is bad enough. But they interpret “communists” in many ways. The police department is communist to them since it is a government run agency that they feel will try to take their guns and freedoms away. It is an agency they must fight. As Beck said, “Shoot them in the head…they might shoot you first.”

Beck is directly, not indirectly responsible for the deaths of those officers. What he said is not covered under freedom of speech as it was a direct order to incite violence and that’s exactly what happened. Beck must be arrested and indicted on conspiracy to commit murder. It must happen now. If not we are saying it is alright to kill police officers, or any other government worker, because they are “communists.” It will happen again if we don’t take action. Arrest Glenn Beck. Arrest him now!

OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING

Of course we also have to deal with these crazies in our schools. One school shooting after another. It has become so commonplace that it’s just a blip on our Twitter or Facebook feeds. The friends of the kids that are killed tweet their R.I.P’s daily. As though they are tweeting “Happy Graduation” or “Happy Birthday.” It is just expected now. Cry for a few minutes then move on. It’s sick and twisted and the NRA loving Republicans and gun nuts just shrug it off. Their solution is to arm all teachers and children with guns. Yes children. The gun nuts post pictures of their three and four year old kids holding guns. I seem them all the time.Those children should be taken away from them.

We are a sick, cancer ridden nation. Republicans want more guns, more anger, more hate. They want to replace their ultra right wing candidates with ultra ultra right wing candidates. Then replace them with ultra ultra ultra right wing candidates. They want to leave our soldiers behind, then call them and their families horrible names when the black President they hate so much brings them home.

They want a revolution that involves not paying taxes, killing cops and having our children afraid to go to school. As a friend pointed out, the police should notice that it is not the “Occupy Wall Street” protesters that kill them, it’s the right wing scum.

We are living in a crazy house that is called the United States of America.

I need to get out of here. So do you.

Our National Passtime – 74 School Shootings Since Sandy Hook

Can we now say that conservatives love their guns more than they love life? Really, how can they honestly say that they’re pro-gun and pro-life at the same time?

The Huffington Post reports that since the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, there have been an average of 1.37 school shootings for each school week, according to data maintained by Everytown for Gun Safety, a group fighting to end gun violence.

Including Tuesday’s incident at a high school in Troutdale, Oregon, 74 school shootings have taken place in the approximately 18 months since the Dec. 14, 2012, Newtown shooting. The average school year typically lasts about 180 days, which means there have been roughly 270 school days, or 54 weeks, of class since the shooting at Newtown. With 74 total incidents over that period, the nation is averaging well over a shooting per school week.

Alex Jones – Obama Planned The Las Vegas Shooting – Video

Everyone, please be quite.  The right-winged media darling and favorite mouthpiece for the Republican and Teaparty movement has a story to tell. Of course he has no facts to back up his nonsense, but that’s exactly how Republicans love their news – as a total fabrication!

Ladies and gentlemen,  as per Alex Jones, the shooting in Las Vegas that killed three innocent people along with the two shooters, was a plan by President Obama and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to come and take your guns and also to make the Teaparty look bad.

Go ahead Alex, make a bigger ass of yourself and your Republican colleagues… As if that’s even possible.

Our National Passtime – Another School Shooting in Oregon

A shooter at Troutdale’s Reynolds High School is dead, according to officials with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.

Around 100 law enforcement officers, tactical teams and medical personnel are in the process of evacuating students and staff.

No one else is known to have died in the shooting, though at least one teacher was reportedly injured.

Parents are being asked to reunite with their children at the Wood Village Fred Meyer at NE 223rd and NE Glisan.

Whether the shooter has been neutralized is still unknown, though law enforcement officers have concluded tactical efforts.

Parents began arriving at the school around 8:45 a.m., despite officers requesting they stay away for the moment. Officers are telling parents to meet with evacuated students at the Safeway on 242nd and Cherry Park.

A student still within the school tweeted just after 9 a.m. that while some students had been evacuated, “most” are still on lockdown.

One student told a parent the shooting began in the school’s gymnasium, though police have not been able to confirm specific details. Rumors of a shot teacher have also been unconfirmed.

About 2,800 students attend the school.

Three “Good Guys With Guns” Died in Recent Las Vegas Shooting

The Killers - Jerad and Amanda Miller

So by now you’ve already heard of the shooting in Las Vegas, where two police officers were gunned down while eating lunch at a restaurant.

The shooting was apparently carried out by an anti-government, Teaparty/Militia married couple, who also took part in the Bundy Ranch standoff against the government just months ago. After killing the officers, they covered the bodies with what has now become the symbol flag of the Teaparty – The Gadsden flag.

Two good guys with guns dead!

But there was another “good guy with a gun” that got blown away by the couple. A 31-year-old Walmart customer, Joseph Wilcox, who was standing near the checkout area with a friend when the couple busted into the department store and ordered everyone to leave.

Wanting to stop the couple and minimize the potential bloodbath that was bound to happen, Wilcox – a legally licensed concealed carry Walmart patron – told his friend that he was going to stop shooter.

According to reports, Wilcox pulled out his gun and “got into position,” aiming for the male shooter. He unfortunately did not see the female shooter with her gun aimed at him. She shot Wilcox in the side. He immediately fell and died from his injury without shooting off any rounds.

The female shooter shot and killed her husband, then killed herself. All that remained afterwards were the bodies of the three “good guys with guns,” the bodies of the two bad guys with guns, and of course, the guns. Five dead bodies… and the guns!

Republicans and the NRA continue to argue that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” I wonder which of the “people” the couple used to bludgeon the others to death…!

Leave The Murderers With The Guns, Protect Your Child With This Blanket – Video

So this is what the civilized United States of America has come to.

Instead of doing something simple to curb gun violence, like issuing background checks to act as a deterrent for those with bad intentions, you know, make it harder for lunatics to buy a gun. We are instead, preparing our kids to be sitting ducks in schools with bullet proof blankets.

An Oklahoma company – ProTecht – has developed the blanket made from bullet proof material hopeful that schools would pay the $1000 price tag for the blanket.

The blanket they say, would help protect the child from falling debris in the event of certain natural disasters, but would also help when the mass murderer with his Second Amendment Semiautomatic comes knocking at their classroom door. The only requirement is that the nice murderer stands outside the classroom and wait until all the children are fully covered before opening fire.

And if that’s not good enough news for you, consider this: someone is about to make a lot of money with their bullet proof blankets. 

Capitalism at work here folks, there is a need and the market steps forward to address that need!

Chalk up another victory for the NRA and the Republican party.

Absolute Insanity!

Conservative Tells Gun Victim’s Dad – “You Stupid Son Of a Bitch” A Gun Could have Saved Your Child

Conservative radio host Stan Solomon had a conversation with Larry Pratt, the executive director of Gun Owners of America. After the two lambasted liberals for trying to do something to curb the gun deaths in this country, they turned their attention to the recent killings in California, where a 22 year old killed six people before taking his own life.

Solomon had a word of advise for the father of one of the victims. “The father of one of the girls who was killed blamed the NRA,” he said, “and my response is, ‘You stupid son of a bitch, what the hell is wrong with you? If you had taught your daughter how to have and use a weapon, she might still be alive.'”

Guns, the conservative’s answer to gun violence!

Gunshot Victim’s Dad to Politicians – “I don’t give a sh@t that you feel sorry for me,”

Richard Martinez

It’s something we’ve seen far too often. Mass shootings in our so-called “civilized” society by a gun-crazed lunatic, then more lunatics come forward to defend the right of the shooter over the rights of the multiple innocent victims he killed.

Survival of the fittest. Kill or be killed. Their definition of American civility!

Then the politicians, those entrusted with the task of leading this nation and protecting the rights and wellbeing of all Americans as laid out in the Constitution, do nothing except to offer their condolences. And in doing nothing, they validate the right of the lunatic shooter and the lunatics defending his rights.

Well, after yet another mass murdering spree in California where multiple innocent people lost their lives, and where lunatics rushed forward to defend the shooter, politicians are once again poised to offer their condolences. But the father of one of the victims is not hearing it. He’s not going to be satisfied with them calling him with the usual, sorry for your loss, but the shooter has his rights too!

“I don’t care about your sympathy. I don’t give a s— that you feel sorry for me,” Richard Martinez, the father of Christopher Michaels-Martinez, told The Washington Post.  “Get to work and do something.

“I’ll tell the president the same thing if he calls me,” Martinez added. “Getting a call from a politician doesn’t impress me.”

He went on to urge Obama and Congress to take “immediate action” to implement new gun control laws.

“Today, I’m going to ask every person I can find to send a postcard to every politician they can think of with three words on it: ‘Not one more,’ ” he said Tuesday. “People are looking for something to do. I’m asking people to stand up for something. Enough is enough.”

Carney defended Obama’s actions and said he had done all he could without congressional action.

Obama had “acted on every item the administration has contained within the report provided by the vice president to the president on measures that can be taken administratively to help address this challenge,” said Carney.

Joe the Plumber – “Guns are mostly for hunting down politicians”

Joe The "Plumber"

And now, your daily nut-baggery. Today’s episode brought to you by the letters “CRA” and “ZY,” and also by the number “REPUBLICAN PLUMBER!”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what Joe The Plumber had to say about guns in his recent blog post;

Guns are mostly for hunting down politicians who would actively seek to take your freedoms and liberty away from you. Google “Hitler, Mao, Kim Jung Il, Castro, Stalin” just for starters.

As far as me being nice, cordial, respectful – don’t hurt people’s feelings… bla bla? We tried that and look where it got us?

With a Republican party that say guns should be used “for hunting down politicians,” is it any surprise that the political leaders in that party stay in bed with the gun lobbyists, lighting their cigarettes afterwards and bringing them a sandwich?

According to Joe’s message, you keep the gun debate off the table by not only threatening the leaders politically, you also threaten their lives.

Based on their insistence that guns are sacred, I’ll say that these Republican leaders got Joe’s message loud and clear.

California To Introduce Further Restrictions on Guns

And this new restriction makes perfect sense. Which is why the gun lobby will fight it to the bloody end.

Just days after a 22-year-old killed six college students and himself near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara, state lawmakers are championing legislation that would permit law enforcement officials and private individuals to seek a restraining order from a judge that would keep people with a potential propensity for violence from buying or owning a gun. The process would be similar to the one currently used for restraining orders in cases of domestic violence.

The legislation is being introduced this week in response to the attack on Friday by Elliot O. Rodger, who was able to buy three guns and go on a rampage despite warnings from his family and mental health professionals that he was unstable and possibly dangerous. It is unclear, however, if the measures contained in the bills could have prevented his actions if they had been law.

Although mass shootings have not translated into stricter gun control laws nationally, they have prompted changes on the state level — largely limiting access to guns, but in some cases loosening existing laws, which gun advocates say give people more leeway to arm themselves against criminals. After a mass shooting at a school in Newtown, Conn., Connecticut and New York passed bans on assault rifles and created stricter background checks.

But California, which already has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, could go even further.

Guns. Again.

I started watching Elliot Rodgers’ online twisted manifesto about how women ignored, belittled and frustrated him and how, obviously, his only appropriate response was to kill as many as he could, but after two minutes, I had to stop.

This is madness.

We keep asking the same questions. How does a person such as this get legal access to guns and ammunition? Can killings like this be prevented? If the answer is no, then why not? We seem to be able to address, debate or even stop other types of anti-social behavior, but in the present political climate, where the Second Amendment seems more sacrosanct than the First, the answer we keep getting is that no, there’s nothing we can do. I can’t accept that.

Perhaps the country’s tolerance for gun violence and murder has not been tested enough, even with the killing of students in public schools and colleges, and that we need even more killing before we’ve finally had enough. I can’t accept that either. I’ve had enough. No more.

Maybe we’ll get a more liberal Supreme Court that will undo the terrible mischief of the Heller decision that completely obliterated the militia clause in the Second Amendment and made gun rights a personal right. I understand that many gun owners from across the political spectrum believe that this was the correct decision, but a more specific historical analysis shows that the Framers’ intent was not to make sure that everyone could have a gun for personal use, but rather so they could join the state militia quickly in case it was necessary for public defense. The Framers distrusted a too-strong national army and put the militia clause in the Second Amendment for a reason. It was there that Mr. Justice Scalia, the high priest of Original Intent, found that the Framers obviously did not mean for it to have legal weight and told us in Heller that we could ignore it. Go buy a gun. It’s your personal right.

And so here we are, shrugging our shoulders and repeating the old script that says that guns are not the problem, mental illness is the problem. Or society is the problem. Or anger is the problem. Or the president in the problem. But guns? Access to guns is never the problem.
