Gun Control doesn’t fix the problem, which is PEOPLE. What it does do is make masacres like this more likely, especially in “gun free zones”, which if you think about it, are the ultimate expression of gun control. Laws that say “you can’t have a gun here”. Obviously, that only disarms people who are inclined to follow the law.
And before anyone starts hyperventilating, I’m NOT advocating that kids carry guns to school. What I am suggesting is that we allow those who we entrust with keeping our kids safe while they are in the school’s custody the ability to actually DO SO, because when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
I saw a picture of a young girl, maybe 9 or 10, with her arm around her little brother who had his hands up to his face, his eyes frightened. They were outside. The girl was looking down, her arm protectively across her brother’s shoulders. I saw another photo of the same children sometime later. The boy had dissolved into tears and was now in his mother’s arms. The girl was standing there, it appeared she had let her little brother be held first.
She’s cold without her jacket. Her hands are pulled inside her sleeves. Her mom hasn’t wrapped her in her arms yet and the little girl’s face tells all of how in need of that hug she is. She looks as if she’s afraid to move a muscle. Like she’s on hold.
I wish so bad that I could hug her. I keep willing the picture to move and mother to reach out and hug that little girl. Hug that child.
God please hug that child.
A school safety expert was asked on TV today if he advocated school administrators being armed. He said “absolutely not.” I gather you disagree. You want the principal and the pre-K teacher packing heat.
Disgusting.
Don’t bother responding. I’m not subscribing to the comments thread and I won’t be back to read the responses.
Rutherford’s profoundly juvenile thinking and magnified by his profoundly ignorant charge, dissuades him from asking the right questions and persuades him to come to the wrong conclusion. Always. That’s why Rutherford’s “experts” are as shallow and empty headed as he is and this carnage will continue as the idiots posing as experts in education offer nothing of value.
So let me do it for him, as I concluded long ago Rutherford both untruthful and intellectually challenged.
The question that won’t be addressed but should is not who should be “packing heat” but why is our society continuing to produce such unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity?
I submit that the Rutherford’s of the world, believing in their own moral goodness, have failed miserably to teach our children.
This is what you get when you won’t submit to a greater moral standard, believing in your own sense of justice and morality.
And make no mistake about it. Rutherford is evil.
The picture that wretched my heart Ms. Muffy was the mother (I assume) standing beside a car and holding a cellphone with mouth agape and obviously screaming in horror and pain.
That one picture has troubled me all day long. I cannot imagine the absolute fear that goes through a parent’s heart at that moment.
These types of inhumane crimes will continue to escalate. Our media is complicit in a perverse way of glamorizing the shooter. Fifteen minutes of fame is now our highest ambition. And our idiot elected officials and “Rutherford experts”, and incompetent educational system who for three generations has taught rot, lies and innuendo can provide all the security they want until schools become prisons, but the problem isn’t security and the carnage will not stop.
In a perverted justice of sorts, we now reap what we have sown. Our public education system, our corrupted leaders in education, and our turning away from our founding principles and convictions which have educated our young with amoral principles from the cradle, are seeing the fruit of their work.
Rutherford is only interested, emotional and alarmed because this one hit too close to home. Rutherford had no problem with our Attorney General illegally arming Mexican drug lords with AUTOMATIC weapons which led to mowing down Mexican children. And in fact, Rutherford got angry and defensive when many of us demanded Eric Holder be held accountable for his lying and obfuscation about Fast and Furious. Rutherford, Thor and a host of other leftist’s response? Find anything to deflect the blame to George Bush’s two terms. That is not my opinion – that is a matter of record on Rutherford’s very blog.
This atrocity is a matter much deeper than a broken and immoral country, a man who voted for a completely corrupted man like Barack Obama with his phony alligator tears to be our President, incapable and unwilling to address. For those of us who “told you so” about the slippery slope of cheapening life years ago now have no alternative but to arm ourselves to the teeth and protect our own children ourselves. The critics of home schooling can say all they want about the shortcomings of home school education, but the children of the parents wishing to home school are still alive.
BIC’s suggestion is really the only alternative left in my estimation.
The idea that any solution starts – much less ends – with fewer guns in the hands of fewer law abiding, watchful guardians is one-dimensional. How is increased helplessness going to…help?
The boldest expert advice we’re likely to get from the most disoriented among us is a renewed effort to crackdown on legal guns and perhaps a motion to expand the TSA to protect the schoolchildren.
In recent years I’ve observed an increasing resolve within myself to confront my own fear of guns. We’re not exactly in the best of hands.
Tex, it is exactly as you say.
No doubt one of the same “school safety experts” that said creating an unarmed victim zone was going to make the students safer, especially in conjunction with all of the other gun laws this evil nutbar disobeyed.
Rutherford, I find it puzzling that you don’t see the commonality in all of the most recent shootings. I guess the folks at MSCPA weren’t good enough to point that out to you.
A remark I read this morning that was attributed to Morgan Freeman:
And from my own Facebook page late yesterday:
http://munchkinwrangler.wordpress.com/2007/03/23/why-the-gun-is-civilization/
More hard truth for Rutherford to ignore.
And finally, a schooling session I held for a fella on my cousin’s FB page who dismissed my legal arguements against a gun ban as “crap”, rather than addressing them on the merits. Like Rutherford, he doesn’t have much regard for original intent, or for actually understanding why the blueprint was written the way that it was:
Do let us know if anyone ever does (address these arguments on their merits). The most sound remarks I’ve come across in the last 30 some odd hours are akin to yours, BIC.
I hope you don’t mind but I happened across this today while looking for requiems to play in the background while I went about my day.
I don’t mind at all Muffy.
My oldest son and I discussed this for about a half-hour or so when we were out today.
I’m often amazed at how perceptive he is. He was able to recognize right away that people who are crazy, or who just don’t care are not going to be dissuaded by any law.
And then he wanted to say a prayer for the families.
I’m proud of him.
And at the end of the day, it isn’t the guns, rifles, knives, (bad) laws, or proclamations which kill people. It’s the Evil (which to some lesser or greater extent, exists in all of us) that has been encouraged to run rampent. without fear of any major consequence…or if there be consequence there will also follow, at least temporarily, major notoriety.
If we address the evil(s), of society, of our government (and perhaps more importantly those who are governing), of those groups who seek to destroy that culture/social fabric which is “Western Man”, (yes Mohammed I am looking at you)…then and only then will we have a chance of really cleaning things up.
RIght now (as it has been for quite some time) all the new gun laws, hate crimes/speech laws, and all the rest of it are but window dressing.
A school safety expert was asked on TV today if he advocated school administrators being armed. He said “absolutely not.” I gather you disagree. You want the principal and the pre-K teacher packing heat.
Oh Rutherford…
http://www.davekopel.com/2a/othwr/principal&gun.htm
I wonder if Rutherford will respect this “expert”, or if he only wants to give credence to the ones telling him what he wants to hear?
http://www.therightscoop.com/nypd-detective-we-need-to-repeal-gun-free-school-zones/
Rutherford thinks Chris Hayes is an expert.
Empty headed reactionary.
Little “R” is not serious man. He’s a clinger to Obama’s ass and an apologist for failure, incapable of thinking for himself. I haven’t taken his suggestions seriously in two years. But I didn’t realize how utterly corrupted Rutherford was until he started with the ‘voter suppression’ bullshit – Joseph Goebbels with a cane. Ask our military about voter suppression.
Off the subject….
Everyone of these mooching wards of the state need to share in the pain – Rutherford most of all. Tag that bastard’s family with exorbitant taxes and start milking the lower class out of their McDonald’s money.
I thought I was alone in coming to the conclusion of Let. It. Burn. I’ve found out the last few weeks millions are saying the same thing I am. Let Obama own it. All of it. Keep your powder dry and the stash stocked. If Republicans were smart, they would vote unanimously “present” concerning this fiscal cliff bullshit and leave for vacation where there is no phone. I’m serious. Quit worrying about national elections and start worrying about distancing yourself from the federal government. What are they going to do? Arrest 150MM of us?
One of the best suggestions I’ve seen made recently was to eliminate the Deduction For State And Local Taxes. You’ll note blue states ain’t having any of that – those same blue states that have been telling us the red states are the biggest benefactors of Barack? Give them the chance to put their money where their mouth is.
What’s ironic is that while Republicans lost the national election, they continue to strengthen at the local level. It may get to the point we red states don’t really need the federal government anymore. Instead of formal seceding, just ignore the federal government, exempting ourselves from their rules when and where we please, dragging the feet in payment and doing our own thing.
Finally after twelve exasperating years, some of these Republicans are finally starting to listen to us little guys and wising up. There’s no need for cooperation anymore.
Muffy and Tex…BiC…..good to see you in Internet land.
I emailed my boss, suggesting he be armed. Haven’t gotten a response. The school cut funding to the cop two years ago. The end result was anarchy in the parking lot resulting in disaster.
They had no problem buying us all IPads but cut the police officer. In light of that I told my boss he should now assume that role and be armed.
As you can imagine…….I am truly suffering over this one like you guys. I just can’t get it off my mine. Can’t shake it. I walked over the the bar and tired that last night and it didn’t help.
Walked back home drunk grieving just like I was on my stroll their.
If only there was a pill I could take to get God closer to me. I’d trade all my gold and silver for it.
My mind
There….geeez
I also worry that there is going to be a backlash against autistic people.
Rabbit, stay. I have some things I want to say to you.
Rabbit,
It is a tragedy. The kids and the families have been made victims by a government that refuses to accept that no amount of laws will permit them to bubble wrap life, and remove all danger and consequence, and as a result, they were purposely put in harm’s way.
Then again by someone who was determined to kill them…an act of evil regardless of the motivation or influence.
And then finally, by a society that rewards the bottom feeders by making them famous for these kinds of acts of evil, and those who feed off of those bottom feeders, like the reporters sticking microphones in the faces of the survivors, and desperately trying to contact the survivors for an expression of their grief, their shock, their pain, just to get the ratings boost, while at the same time, political opportunists were waiving the still-warm corpses around like a bloody shirt, seeking to use the shock and pain to get more bubble wrap, despite the fact that was and is completely useless in cases like this, because it is easier than addressing the real issue, and because addressing the real issue means coming to terms with the fact that actions really do have consequences, despite decades of trying to convince us otherwise.
Rabbit, the only thing I can look to in this, especially with the unserious responses from our self-appointed betters, is that those children now are with Jesus. No amount of poo-pooing from the likes of Rutherford will change that.
Rabbit, the way I got closer was reading the Bible. A little bit every day.
Rabbit, I left a tiny missive for you and a couple of others over at Rutherford’s. I won’t be back there either for the same reason as Tigre. Tigre’s forecast is as reliable as the morning. Just as fast as the poisoned mind can move the poisoned pen, it’s coming. I just felt so lonely for you amidst the unwise counsel.
So I’ll be here on this side of the fray. For on that side they are positively foamy at the idea of explaining this tragedy away by linking it to people most unlike themselves. This is how they survive. It weighs heavy on the mind to consider the level of insecurity required in living that way.
Autism had nothing to do with this one, Rabbit. I’m of the belief at least half the blame is what is now called the ‘Media Death Porn’ and celebrity cause – the superficial nature of our land wrought by the godless humanism. This is what our perversion of the word tolerance has wrought. Chaos.
If you think I’m crazy, next time you see a tragedy in the making, count the number intervening vis-a-vis the number taking out their cellphones to video it.
We are not a society of goodness and light but celebrity and Facebook. Life has become cheap, relationships shallow, marriage meaningless, God not required.
II Chronicles 7:14. Because nothing else is going to work and it should now be more than obvious.
Rabbit, I wanted to tell you why I think we mourn as we do. Not why we’re sad. Rather why do the lost children not allow your mind a moment’s respite, while the little girl in the photo I described earlier refuses to leave me? Why does Tex still see the young woman on the phone when he closes his eyes? Why can he almost hear her scream?
I think that in some way we see ourselves in those scenes that we gravitate to. A rather fundamental ingredient for empathy, I would think.
You, rabbit, yearn to have saved the lost children. You imagine them sailing over your head, out of your reach, heading for a landing beyond which you can see. And you’re afraid for them.
First of all, don’t be. They’re not lost. They are home. That’s a promise.
But something in what you wrote this morning made me understand that you might feel as lost as you imagine those children to be.
I myself experience a most sentient sorrow for the girl in the photo I described – a survivor – that stares at the ground with unseeing eyes while offering her little brother what measure of comfort she can until mom comes for them. The thought of her, the image of her waiting to be hugged when mom does arrive, makes me heartsick. Soulsick.
I wrote of desperately wanting to hug that child. I wanted to comfort her, so brave was she and so tight her hold on her frightened brother. I’m haunted by the notion that she might not have gotten as big a hug as she needed, with little brother weeping so hard in mom’s arms. And as much as I want to hug and comfort her – she is me. I need that hug. That assurance that everything will be OK.
Tex, I think, sees his parent-self in the scene that most sticks in his mind’s eye. Similar to you and the young man you’re raising – he feels the protector of all women and babies. Only he chooses, as I do, a survivor as his ghost to both haunt and accompany him as he rides the waves of sorrow. There’s no accident in that, to my way of thinking.
As a point of fact, Tex assumed first that his ghost was a mother receiving the news of something very, very bad happening to her baby. As it turns out she is the sister of the brave young teacher who stood between good and evil in the last few moments of her life until evil passed by never knowing that the other 1st graders he hunted were hiding in the closets and cabinets of that teacher’s room.
. . .
The other thing I wanted to say was that you’re barking up the wrong tree when you look for anything useful among those who would seek first to further a familiar and long-standing agenda -or- who cast guilt onto their brothers before knowing anything of what has occurred. The fact is they – specifically they – never will know anything of what has occurred.
I wish you some peace for now and someday all the peace in the world there is to be had.
Muffy, that is all very well put. I have seen a few photos but not the one you describe — and I don’t need to. Your description is enough and frankly they all make me well up. I have little doubt we’re all catchers.
DR, you really are wasting your time trying to find something of value with the agenda-driven simpletons.
.
And the tweets have started. I must be psychic.
Thanks for the responses. A nice change of pace.
Just remember Rabbit, Progressives always feel better about themselves when they are restricting the freedom of others.
It’s one of the tenets of moral relativism from sanctimonious little pricks like Rutherford.
I’ll assume that little propagandizing empty shirt blogger has taken up another fascist cause – the poor man’s Michael Bloomberg. Rutherford doesn’t give a damn about those kids. That’s not even on his radar. He’s too busy measuring if Obama can capitalize on the situation. Heck yes, I mean that.
This is agitprop for another Marxist Alinsky cause – don’t let a crisis go to waste. If you don’t think Rutherford doesn’t have a little jackboot in him with that predictable rank propaganda, you’ve been missing his message.
If MSNBC came out blaming the shooter rather than the weapon, Rutherford would be blaming the shooter too.
Right again Tex. Check Raum’s own Twitter stream.
Ghouls.
Done with Rutherford, unless there’s something I can rub his nose in. Any negative impact on the Obama family, or Rutherford’s future where I can add to his misery, I’ll be there.
I disdain the lying, little, ugly bastard.
I thought and said and heard and read many things today. This is one that has stuck with me. I’m paraphrasing (except for the scripture) …
This hellish act of violence could not have been prevented with more guns or less guns. If anyone believes otherwise, so be it. But believe this also. The world we live in is full of both good and evil. There is a God and it was not Him that sent the thief to Sandy Hook Elementary to steal and to kill and to destroy.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10
Tigre, we probably could have set the clock and bet the farm on the bitter twitter bleating. I suppose I’m about as surprised as I will be if Sunday turns into Monday.
Just read this interesting tidbit. Very interesting…
With just one single exception, the attack on congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, every public shooting since at least 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns.
http://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2012/12/17/lets-have-that-conversation-about-guns-n1468596
That sound you just heard was Rutherford wetting himself as he lost the “reason and logic” game he so enjoys pretending at.
Quite right. We hear over and over that the time for that conversation is now. But the conversation is not a conversation. And it’s plain to see that as surely as it’s not happening now – it will not happen and is not intended to happen.
”In fact, we’re not supposed to have what people might commonly describe as a “conversation” at all. We’re supposed to shut-up and listen as liberals, barely masking their unseemly delight at the opportunity, try to pin the murder rampage of one degenerate creep on millions of law-abiding Americans who did nothing wrong. The conversation is then supposed to end with us waiving our fundamental right to self-defense.”
Nowhere are the accepted invitations to the conversation being honored.
The one thing in the article that I would add to this – pinning the rampage on one outlier isn’t going to satisfy the beast. Not until the thief has a label and further can also be tied even by the thinnest of threads to their own political enemies.
The gun-control issue is the first wave.
They have no idea what visited Sandy Hook Elementary on Friday. And no idea how to react to it, much less what to do in response.
I’ve become blessedly clear on what I need to do. And with perfect promise and clarity that it’s the right thing to do – it also happens to be the only thing I can do. And thankfully it’s also all that’s required of me, for the moment.
That is, to draw nigh.
I saw a lesson here in perseverance and community. It speaks for itself.
I’ve gotten a really positive response about having people carry at work
Tigre…you can’t be showing this kind of stuff. I’m feel practically menopausal….on the brink of weeping at all times…..
Now I know how my wife feels during the hormonal phase of pregnancy.
Yeah. It got me too.
Tex….any way I can email you?
Sure. Send me an email at auntacidnatalie@yahoo.com and I’ll give you my real email address with my real name. You and I actually corresponded three or four years ago and when I called you by name because you had accidentally included it in the send, you about soiled yourself.
I don’t remember your last name, but I certainly remember your first one. You don’t remember that, Rabbit? LOL One of the funniest conversations I ever partook in. That’s when I realized you were a good guy.
Anybody that has posted here on this thread is welcome to my real email address and my real name by the way. Most of you already have it. I just don’t want the Rutherford Lib Maggots and the irreligious bigots following me anymore. I’m through with them unless I can cause collateral damage.
This retired police officer’s recommendations are an eye opener of the way things really are in contrast to the stupidity and political opportunism of the Left – morons who threaten civilization.
Very much worth the read, whether 2nd Amendment proponent, or not:

http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/072312-619196-aurora-colorado-theater-gun-free-zone.htm?p=full
Go figure some more.
What I want to know is how much weight did the principle at Sandy Point Elementary’s opinion have in the fact that she was unarmed that morning? She seems capable enough to me and certainly brave enough. That last one, sadly, we know for sure she was. But I mean – who gets to decide for rabbit, in other words? Providing state and local laws don’t prohibit it – in whose hands does the power rest if his boss (I assume that’s the priciple?) greenlights the proposition?
And…
I expect I’m not telling you guys anything you didn’t know, but in case there are lurkers that don’t know this there were six or seven movie theaters within 20 minutes of the Aurora joker’s apartment. One was 3 minutes away, more than twice as close as the one he chose.
Why that particular theater?
Or don’t results matter?
Rabbit, my kids had a morning program at the school today. You know, little sketches, singing and dancing with holiday themes (finally got rid of that damn Kwanzaa bullshit when it was learned that none one single student observed it). I saw three moms walking away from the program in tears when the left the building. This CT shooting really hits close to home for any parent (or guardian). It’s all I could think about as I watched. And it’s sorrow, not fear.
Is there a real argument that CT would not have occurred if the Lefty’s gun control policies were put in place?
You think it’s sorry, Tigre? I think it is combination of both fear and sorrow. Fear knowing this is a country that no longer respects life and this is bound to happen again, and sorrow knowing there is no way to truly protect our children and this is the legacy we have left them.
People argue the how. They ought to be asking about the why? The reasons are as clear as day.
Obama and Bill Clinton are the clearest symbols of our political correctness, our mindless stupidity and the obvious national depravity. While each man played only a small part in the depravity, their victories are a national testament this rot has been in the works for quite some time – certainly all of my life, though it wasn’t prevalent until I was a young man.
I haven’t been surprised by this tragedy a bit and to be absolutely honest have been surprised it didn’t happen sooner. It’s going to only get worse and horror is only going to build until good men and women decide they have had enough, that talk is cheap, and justice must be served with extreme prejudice. That is all this enemy understands.
This is the first generation raised by the completely amoral and irresponsible, our political persuasions encouraging even more of it; young adults who have no fear because they don’t believe in anything but the here and now, don’t recognize good from evil, don’t believe in accountability, don’t know respect, won’t recognize authority.
They’re mindless robots believing their only ticket celebrity.
Next time to one up the celebrity, it will be a nursery, or a mall, or a hospital, or most likely a church to strike maximum fear.
Well, I don’t think we’re really saying different things. I meant “fear” in the tangible sense: “I’m leaving my child in a place where there’s a real possibility that the same could happen before I return.” That, to me, is too remote — like placing my children on a plane with the belief that there’s a real chance it will crash. Always a possibility that resides in the back of a parents’ mind (like any tragedy — e.g. kidnapping, accident). . . but not the fore which would be paralyzing.
My own thoughts were more related to conceptualizing/projecting the unimaginable horror of a parent learning of the violent death of such innocent beings like the ones I was watching. Sorrow. Sympathy. Not “boy, we got lucky it wasn’t us this time.”
But like you, I am astonished it hasn’t happened sooner and with even more frequency. And I agree that we have a generation that is truly programmed to believe their only ticket is celebrity. It is a societal sickness and we’re only just beginning to see the symptoms of it.
The gun control debate? A discussion that has to occur now or the moment will be lost? The closer to emotion based thinking the further from rational thought. It nauseates me that the left actually insists that it strike quickly or the emotion will be lost. Really demented.
My question is sincere: “Is there a real argument that CT would not have occurred if the Lefty’s gun control policies were put in place?” Is there something about the weapon itself? Rutherford said something like, “we need to look in the mirror in the wake of this tragedy and ask why should you be able to purchase a gun with a grenade launcher on it” — as though the shooter used a grenade launcher instead of a rifle. He’s “mad.” In his puny mind, this is something to be pinned on his political adversaries, like all tragedies. The easily manipulated Rutherford is told and believes that but for conservatives this never would’ve happened. He ain’t alone in this corrupt line of thinking manufactured by the left. What results from that is what I “fear.”
I wasn’t disagreeing with you Tigre as much as I was thinking to myself finally maybe people will stop and think, resigning themselves to the fact this is the society we’ve created, as if kids can be raised in the vacuum of celebrity and video games are going to grow up to be respectable and dependable adults. If people haven’t noticed, it’s the same basic pattern of young males that are socially inept and detached from friendship and love and probably parenting that are continually committing these crimes – someplace, somewhere they were screaming out of help and no one noticed, or the system let them slide.
Rutherford is a troll muppet with a stick up his ass and Chris Hayes waving the mop head back and forth.. Ignore him in this discussion, like most discussions, Rutherford is talking out as ass without a clue – as I’ve said before, the typical MSNBC reactionary and part of the problem. He doesn’t give a shit as long as it didn’t affect him – he’s looking to do some bashing and play apologist for liberalism’s failures.
I read where some Hollywood nitwit, Marg something, hopes some NRA members get shot – as if the NRA had anything to do with this. What she doesn’t understand is there are zillions of us now that are so fed up with the Hollywood assholes of the world, had this happened in some studio or an MSNBC desk, I probably would feel justice was served.
If I understand my guns, the AR15 used as weapon of choice is basically an aesthetically mean looking .22 caliber rifle. If I am right, I had a .22 caliber rifle which I used to shoot squirrels when I was about 15 years old, and won another .22 caliber in a raffle some years ago that has never been fired and collects dust in the hall closet. I don’t even have ammo for them anymore.
This was hardly maximum lethal weaponry being used. And like BIC suggested, a simple .38 caliber handgun in the right hand(s) would have stopped this atrocity at the front door.
The horse is already out of the barn. Now the useful idiots believe locking the gate will stop it.
Yeah. I should ignore the dolt. Since he has no original thoughts or a core, he represents to me typical, uninitiated liberal twatwaffle (H/T Muffy). I really do fear their control of the media and political discourse. They just put Obama back in office and are patting themselves on the back for a job well done. And while Rome burns, they’ve focused the discussion on gun control without having to explain its effects or explain it at all really. Idiot’s delight.
Are you still going to that hole authored by the lying, little twatwaffle? (I too love that word)
I’ve got to admit – a few times I have been tempted to just take a look but the temptation is beginning to pass and I’ve held to my promise to not waste further time.
I’ll give Rutherford one thing. He no doubt changed my attitude about liberals. I’ve gone from trying to reason and save them from their excesses, to actively rooting for catastrophe to befall them.
An obvious bad influence.
Only to see how DR was holding up after the shooting. Then curiosity got the better of me and I skimmed the thread after making a comment. I shouldn’t have bothered. Same old shit, coupled with a tough guy attitude, and smack talk about those that got sick of him and left.
Smack talk, hey? ** GUFFAW ** Too funny. The little twatwaffle got to the point he was practically worthless – you’d post some comment and his non sequitur return wouldn’t even apply to the response. The man was obviously breaking.
Old Rutherturd did his best to insult me at every turn, but the talent just wasn’t there. A Chrissie Hayes’ Muppet with cane stuck in rectum to waffle from side to side. Might explain the GI problems.
I still indulge in reading liberal twatwaffle comic strips. It’s important that we understand why we lost the election. *BARF*
I still cruise R’s as I make my rounds but I’ve stopped reading the articles (I quit that months before the election to be frank) and I look for a few select avatars to catch up on. It’s quickly dropping back down to Fat Granny level on the list of blogging and commentary I find interesting though.
The other day I had a slew of tabs stacked up and pasted a reply to a comment rabbit had made here into the wrong window and it popped up over at R’s by accident. Until I remembered there are no accidents. Yuk yuk.
Case in Point:
That “debate” kind of made me a little sick over here, Tigre. But I’m almost to the point of not caring.
I have, without question or doubt, past the point of knowing the difference anymore. And I’m having none of it.
This was in reference to the Case in Point with Piers talking out of his ass that Tigre put up.
Durn. This reads like the opposite of what I meant. Plus I wrote “past” instead of “passed.”
“I have, without question or doubt, past the point of knowing the difference anymore. And I’m having none of it.” -me
What I meant was that I stopped expecting honest debate and don’t even look for it anymore. And I’m having none of what they serve up in place of it anymore.
Sheesh.
I keep forgetting to Reply and line up these comments properly. I’ll try harder.
Oh, Tigre. Here. I owe you this for the other day -

PS…There are a couple of so-so’s but a lot of those are sweet reminders.
PPS…Shield your eyes rabbit you powder-bottomed squall-baby.
Some things never change. Muppet the Bootlicker is incapable of being graceful in victory or defeat – the perfected, arrogant lib with the perfected paradigm of failure in life – moral relativists who like nothing better than to make everyone as miserable as they are.
No wonder Gollum’s pathetic life hinges on whether he can sniff Obama ass and spend his married life watching MSNBC – his precious. What a miserable and wretched little man. And have no doubt – Rutherford believes in his “wisdom.” He thinks he is doing you a real favor, Muffy. That’s his idea of personal charity.
I can tell you without hesitation why we lost the election. Look around at the state of our country. Twenty years ago, we went through the 4th strongest army in the world in 40 days like grease through a goose. Now those same men are mercenaries and sitting ducks with one hand tied behind their back. I have no idea what we are even doing there. Took exactly one generation to change that opinion. Liberal talk of greatly admiring them is met with real voter suppression – they didn’t even get the chance to vote. Answers? None forthcoming.
We killed the golden goose with our diversity and our tolerance, our lack of backbone to speak truth because somebody might call us a hurtful name. Our own laws were used against us. Alinsky won out. We excused a serial philanderer and perjurer with a wink and condemned the prosecutor. Our forefathers and mothers when from the Greatest Generation to be branded as plantation owners. We forgot those evil white “slaveholders” put men on the moon and created the greatest economic engine in the history of the world. We became “tolerant” and “diversified.” White liberals in their Ivory Towers and removed from the consequences of their dictates? The wonderful brownness of America that Graychin and Rutherford brag?
Can’t put a rocket in space 40 years later, Detroit and one sixth of the country on food stamps.
Today I read the taxpayer will be stuck with the bill as Government Motors bails – billions lost like a fart in the wind. Accountability? No way. Not even mentioned. Benghazi? Rules are for little people. Remember, Obama saved the automotive industry and our wonderfully diversified America believed it. How many times did we read that on Gollum’s blog? And he wasn’t alone. Millions believed it – millions still do.
Stupidity doesn’t even recognize abject failure – it brags of it and in its deceit and arrogance slap themselves on the back for their ingenuity in dumbing down America. That’s why we lost the election. Because America was lost years ago, hanging by a thread that we dared only whisper. And we’re now seeing the fruits of our tolerance and our diversity, our amoral nature and our dishonesty, our greed and our avarice. Just wait until legalize drugs and gay marriage is approved. We’ll blow by Europe as abomination in a flash.
America has basically become a model for failure – it will be mentioned one day in the same breath as the French Renaissance: thinking itself enlightened, it became divided, hopelessly indebted, illiterate, immoral, and rudderless. It will remain but become more and more irrelevant. Want a more recent model? CCCP circa 1985 – just a matter of time.
Our parents and grandparents were much too “liberal” in their allowances and tolerance and evil won out. We demanded God get out of country and He complied. If it makes me racist to tell the truth, I don’t give a damn. I’m way past caring what these jackals and mindless hacks think of me.
Because I can’t express in words to each of you how poorly I think of them.
I’m in tearful agreement with you Tex. In my darkest hours I believe that the fiscall cliff may wind up feeling like a a stumble off a sidewalk curb.
They’ve attached a stigma to fear, and it’s quickly mocked and dismissed out of hand. How convenient. We’ve completely passed the point of being able to discuss the implications of anything.
“Muppet the Bootlicker” did bring a smile to my face. I’m filing that one away for keeping.
A sidewalk curb comparatively speaking. and only one “l” in fiscal.” grr.
“Shield your eyes rabbit you powder-bottomed squall-baby.”
Muffy, I’ve about given up on it too. The problem is that the left has learned how to control the dialogue by exploiting its dominance of the MSM — and this is what we get. Next week they’ll accuse the right of being uncivil in its discourse. It’s just pathetic.
Precisely, Tigre.
But this week is not over. This morning’s gimmick involves mimmicked rage at the WH press corps for asking about the fiscal cliff only seconds after Obama got through telling them to look over at Joe Biden and behold this new commission he’s heading up.
First of all, Joe Biden. And they’re serious. Calling a presser to announce a new commission headed by Joe Biden is what Obama calls leadership through a crisis.
Second, the press is getting disciplined today.
Heaven help us.
. . . then moments later, Obama invokes the CT tragedy to attack the GOP for opposing his tax hikes and ramped-up spending. . .
“We need to have a national conversatio, .i.e. shut up.” – IH.
Disciplined? For failing to genuflect and follow the script, I assume.
I think even more than the corruption of the dinosaur media, is the failure and indoctrination of the failed public school system. It is dominated throughout this country by both the godless and the feckless of the Left. Kids today have absolutely no idea of how bad things could really get – shallow as a bird bath with absolutely no ability to think critically. Like Rutherturd, they quote Comedy Central as gospel and America too big to fail.
In talking to the college youth of today, it’s amazing how little they really know about much of anything. I talked to my college educated nephew who has been promised a state job upon second graduation, to the best of my knowledge the only family Obama supporter. Robert thinks public work is the highest calling and dismissed the private sector as just another necessary evil, reminding us that we who have worked in the private sector should remember the impact on public employees when taxes are cut. Robert’s reasoning was such a travesty with numerous falsehoods and incorrect data, that I recognized Robert was a lost cause and acting as parent.
I corrected him on numerous mistakes on the family email nicely but sternly the night before the election, reminding him without a strong private sector there would be no possibility of a public sector, also reminding him Obama didn’t care a thing about the debt Robert will be responsible for, but I do mainly because of my own children.
We never heard another word. And my youngest begged me no more emails.
I guess the humiliation in pointing toward Robert’s lack of wisdom, myopia and naivety was more than Sis could bear about her first cousin.
Several family members thanked me (off the record), since I love my baby I abided by her wishes, and we left it at that.
Sorry…acting as parent should have read acting as parrot.
Robert thinks public work is the highest calling and dismissed the private sector as just another necessary evil, reminding us that we who have worked in the private sector should remember the impact on public employees when taxes are cut.
Reality is going to leave him bloodied and battered in a gutter somewhere.
According to my daughter, the tone and humiliation of my email was a good start. And I thought I was being nice.
