Sarah Palin Calls President Obama ‘a Special Kind of Stupid’
I can’t even wrap my head around the victims who were trapped in that club and sending text messages and doing their best to get into contact with their loved ones to alert them of the situation, and worse inform them that their final moments might be upon them.
“If you see something, say something” shouldn’t be merely a catchy phrase, it should be used by everyone who sees something out of the ordinary without fear of being called a racist. A narrow blasphemy law, prohibiting insults to “the prophet” but to no one else, is arguably a smaller affront to the First Amendment than banning a broad class of popular “assault weapons” would be to the Second, and it would undoubtedly save lives by denying jihadis a pretext to go batsh*t. That’s certainly true with Father’s Day upon us. If we pull together and do some common sense things to curb the nearly instant accessibility to guns that are made to kill people, we can keep our ideals and keep from spiraling into more bitterness. As combat infantrymen and special operators, we received thousands of hours of firearms training.
She then links to the Journal article, which makes no mention of Obama wanting to take guns away from “innocent” gun owners, but instead discusses his visit to Orlando where he talked about the need to enact legislation that will stop mass shootings. It’s a good time for all of us to reflect on how we treat each other, and to insist on respect and equality for every human being.
Among the American public, it seems that a change of heart about gun control may have taken place in the wake of the Orlando massacre. “We can reduce the impact of a terrorist attack if we’re smart”, Obama said.
“Every senator now has to say whether they’re for terrorists getting guns or against terrorists getting guns”. If they are placed in the hands of those who have no idea how to utilize the weapon or have plans to indulge in a crime of unspeakable circumstances only heighten many people’s worry about the current state of weapons in America.
CBS polling indicates that 67 percent of Americans believe the Islamic State militant group is a threat to the United States, and that 80 percent of Americans are somewhat to very concerned about a terrorist attack by people already inside the United States.
To me, fatherhood means being there. Is the president jumping for glee? This endless rant over easy access is rendered moot when you see that the Orlando killer had no prior criminal history. If all guns were banned and confiscated, I don’t think we’d be safer.
“Forget your asinine gun control, do your job and engage in Islamic terrorist control”, Palin argued. Once again, Obama is overreaching.
The Senate is expected to vote on a number of gun control measures Monday, all of which are in response to the June 12 Orlando terror attack.
