Obama and Gun Control

In a recent Wall Street Journal article regarding President Barack Obama’s (D) planned unilateral actions to impose further gun controls on us, Obama was quoted as saying

We know that we can’t stop every act of violence. But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something—anything—to protect our kids from gun violence?

Congress already has done quite a bit to protect our kids: they’ve been blocking your constant efforts to disarm us and thereby leave our kids utterly defenseless against still-armed criminals.

What’s more, We the People—your employer, even though you choose not to accept that—also have already done something, the critical thing, to protect our kids. It’s called the 2nd Amendment, reprinted below for your education.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

There’s nothing in there that says you get to do what you feel like about our Arms. Note especially that phrase shall not be infringed. This means you, Ace.

Another Example of Stupid

And another insult to us Americans.

Republican Party Presidential candidate and erstwhile Senator from Pennsylvania is opening 2016 with an attack ad…against fellow Republican Party Presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz (TX). In it, among other things, Santorum ridicules Cruz’ filibuster of a bill concerning Obamacare.

Don’t tell me how bad your fellow Republicans are, Santorum. Tell me how great your programs and policies are and why, and tell me how bad the Democrats’ programs and policies are and why. I, along with most of my fellow Americans, are fully smart enough to discriminate among you candidates based on information like that; don’t suggest, with ads like this, that we’re stupid.

You’re not showing me why I should do anything but ignore you.
