Canada Buys Liberal Tripe

The Canadian government is blaming the United States for the increase in gun violence they are experiencing. The rhetoric that they are spewing is unbelievable and it smacks of the same kind of nonsense we have come to expect from our friends on the left in this country. The Canadians, who have strict gun laws and not nearly as many gun owners as the United States is blaming the united States because they have people committing crimes with guns. Here are some quotes from the Canadians:

  • “What happened yesterday was appalling. You just don’t expect it in a Canadian city,”
  • “It’s a sign that the lack of gun laws in the U.S. is allowing guns to flood across the border that are literally being used to kill people in the streets of Toronto,”
  • “The U.S. is exporting its problem of violence to the streets of Toronto

First of all, there is no lack of gun laws in this country. There are tens of thousands of gun laws. Secondly, if there were, that would not account for the fact that Canada has a problem. You see, Canada has gun laws but that has not stopped the criminals in Canada from getting them. These people have bought into the same mindless ideas that our liberals here in America have and that is, gun laws will control crime. That is just nonsense because criminals do not obey laws. THAT IS WHY WE CALL THEM CRIMINALS. Only law ABIDING people obey the law and they are not the ones likely to commit a crime. The fact of the matter is, the liberal policies in Canada, the same ones our libs want to impose, are not working. They have been a failed experiment and the liberal Canadian government is looking to find someone to blame for its own failure.

The idea that we are exporting our “problem of violence” is also a joke. America has its problems with violence even if you exclude the home grown gangs or the imported, illegal immigrant gangs. It is interesting to note that the most violent places in America are in the heavily populated areas of the BLUE states. The areas in this country with the most crime are those areas where people are under the thumbs of the Democrats. You find very little violent crime in the Red areas of this country. I will leave you to draw the conclusion. Violence aside, America has a criminal control problem. When violent offenders can go before a judge and have liberal twits argue about their childhood and then be released, you are asking for disaster. If we locked up violent criminals for a very long time they would not have the chance to be repeat offenders. Since about 67% of violent criminals commit another violent crime, we could really reduce the crime problem.

No, Canada does not have a problem with America exporting crime and violence. Canada has a problem controlling its criminals because of failed liberal politicians.

If They Had Hit The Capitol

Unless you have been living in a cave (unless the cave is in Afghanistan) you are aware that on September 11th, 2001 terrorists hijacked four planes and flew them into buildings. Two of those buildings were the Twin Towers in New york and the third was the Pentagon. Reports indicate the plane that hit the Pentagon was destined for the White House but the terrorist flying it could not find the White House so he hit the Pentagon instead. The fourth plane, it is believed, was headed for the Capitol. The selfless acts of some brave people thwarted that plan and the plane crashed in Pennsylvania.

Since that time the world has changed and we find ourselves involved in a global war on terrorism with troops, having defeated the Taliban in Afghanistan, now engaging the enemy in Iraq. When the war plan was revealed most every Democrat was in favor of it. Despite their original motives, there is no denying that that was not the time to appear weak on our national security. Now, the Democrats are looking for ways to tell us they really did not support the war effort or that they were “fooled” by the intelligence (though it is not hard to see why intelligence fooled a Democrat). Many of them are now calling for the immediate removal of our troops from Iraq and they are constantly digging up some new blockbuster conspiracy with which to attach the word “impeachment.”

I have tried to figure out why the Democrats are so hell bent on destroying the very fabric of our lives by opening us to more attacks. I have not been able to find an answer but my thoughts wandered to the idea that things would be different with them if that last plane had actually hit the Capitol. Many of our elected leaders would have been killed or seriously injured except of course Kennedy and Kerry. Drunks take trauma pretty well and Kerry’s record shows he was hardly ever present to do his job. Excluding them, it is safe to say that many people would have perished. I wonder how the Democrats would have felt if many of their colleagues had been killed in the attack.

Better yet, how would they feel if the plane fell short and hit the houses in which their families reside? How about if it hit the school where their children were in attendance? I imagine that we would hear a different tune from them because it would be more personal. Well the attacks on this country are personal to those of us who, regardless of whether we were directly affected or not, have strong feelings about the land we call our home. We are a great nation because great citizens have risked everything to keep us safe and secure. It is never about an individual it is about the nation.

With the Democrats the entire political scene seems to be about them. They are concerned about how they look and how they can get back into office. Power is more important to them than the security of our homeland and they will attempt to destroy anyone who gets in the way of their quest for power. The idea that Senators would cheer and announce “We killed the Patriot Act” is beyond comprehension. One does not have to agree with the Act and there is certainly a forum for debate but the joy at defeating a method of keeping us safe only demonstrates the contempt they have for the safety and security of this country and the people in it.

We will, of course, never know how the Congress would have acted because a few brave souls put their well being behind the greater good of the nation and helped to lessen a tragedy. It is time for the Democrats to look at the people who, quite possibly, saved their lives, and learn a lesson and that lesson is that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. They needs to get in the game and stop playing politics with the security of our nation.
