Who Doesn't Love Ya?
I was recently taken to task by chuckb, a regular reader of this blog and an astute observer of politics, for the way I--and many of you--get on Hillary's case. Hillary, he says, makes all the politically correct noises about gun control, but she doesn't have any real plans. The person who does is Rep. Caroline McCarthy, (D-NY).
In 1993, Mrs. McCarthy's husband and son were shot on a Long Island Railroad commuter train by one Colin Ferguson, who had bought a handgun (legally) in California and used it to make his feelings known
by killing six people and wounding 19. Mrs. McCarthy's son survived, but her husband died. Mrs. McCarthy was elected to Congress in 1996, and has served 6 terms.
Guns are never far from her mind, and if you would like to have terror struck into your heart, go to carolynmccarthy.house.gov; from there to "On the Issues," and from there to what is euphemistically called "Gun Safety," but might be more accurately called "We're coming for yours." It is a doozer, particularly H.R. 2038, which she co-sponsored with New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg, and which is her masterwork.
It's not described on her website, so to read it you'll have to go to here. It's worth the effort, and you'll never think of Hillary in quite the same way again.
Wow,
She only introduced 14 anti-gun bills? Isn't that some type of record?
Its amazing they pass their own pay increases with all the gun legislation they introduce.
Poor folks up there in Washington, life has got to be tough doing all that work.
Aw shucks... but us un-educated folk wouldn't know much about that right Dave?
UFB!!!

Hillary wants all your guns and testicles in her lock box. How else can she control you, America and the world! Look at all the castrated males around her!

Why are all the gun grabbers New York City women? Don't they know it's almost impossible to get a carry permit for NYC anyway? There are under 4,000 carry permits in NYC out of what, over 8 million people... and almost all belong to government officials or their friends. They want guns but they don't want you to have one. Typical left-wing stance. And good grief Ms. McCarthy is even uglier than Hitlery! Anyone that ugly has to have a bad attitude just from looking in the mirror every morning.

The men and women in Washington are just slowly chipping away at our gun rights one bill at a time. While we should be worried about these people the people we should really be concerned about the criminals who use guns in illegal activities. The people in D.C. are just reacting to the criminals. They are just reacting in the wrong ways. Even though I'm conservitive I watched the demo. debate on Clinton News Network [aka CNN] and none of Hillaries answers made any sense or answered the question.

New York is the perfect breeding ground for these types of people.
Look @ Rosie "I'm fat because of my knife and fork" O'Donnell.
She doesn't want anyone to own a gun except her bodyguards. Rosie apparently wants the right to protect herself and her family, but the average person shouldn't be afforded the same rights.
The woman is a hypocrite, pure and simple.
All of the people in Washington are the same as Rosie. They will say what it takes to get your vote, then run a rod up your a** if that's what it takes to make money for themselves.
It's gonna be a very long 2008.

Dave,
I read that too and was I seriously disturbed that chuckb appeared to believe what he was writing about Hillary. Of course the news media doesn't talk about her political history before the White House/Senate or it would become apparent that she is a radical leftist and is no where near the centrist position she proclaims to the electorate. It doesn't take much research, but one of the things she is infamous for are her legal journal publications on why the state/gov't owns your kids! She is a devotee of the Italian communist theorist, Antonio Gramsci. During her time as the first lady (what a horrible thought) she often conferred with a group of communitarian activists and ideologues. For those who don't know, "communitarian" is the Clinton era code word for communist. Good Grief Man! "It Takes a Village" was a bald face paen to socialist/neo-marxist ideals and the relationship between the state and the individual. That she believes in and supports the Constitution, God/Christianity, and liberty are such incredible lies and duplicitinous rationale - I just can't stand it! Make no mistake, Hillary is an enemy of capitalism, Christian religion, and individual liberty. Good Lord, you pitiable deluded sheep that actually accept her at face value!

Did any of you guys lose your hunting license because you lost your job and missed a support payment? And now you couldn't pay if you wanted to because you can't get a job without your pilots license? You can't eat because your account is blocked?
In the days when Billy Boy was in his first campaign, a list of organizations that Hillary belonged to, or gave substantial donations to, was published in a few papers.
If I had belonged to some of them, I would have instantly lost my security clearance and possibly gone to jail.
About half of them were actively engaged in promoting the legislation described above.
She doesn't need to spout off on guns because there are already enough names on government lists to track down gun owners. If she gets in, she'll just do it. No need to take up a politically dangerous position this early in the game.
Any real man would never think of casting his vote for her, even if he is a Democrat.

Colin Ferguson was an illegal alien, I believe from Jamaica.
Now if that idiot McCarthy woman REALLY wanted to reduce violent crime, she would submit a bill to deport all illegal aliens, particularly, the swarthier kinds. Or, she could submit a Constitutional Amendment to bring back public hangings!
She won't do either, of course, because the Democrats would lose a vital special interest group indebted to them...

Rep. McCarthy does not realize that revenge can never be taken out on guns as they have no feelings. If any of the victims had been armed and trained perhaps they would not have become victims. Rep. McCarthy can unfortunately only feel pain and rage. If she were to rationally attack the problem she would see that the 2nd amendment is her friend and not her enemy.

Really must watch the gungrabbers. They are closing their mouths and holding their cares close to the vest.

Ah-I need to read this page to remind me how deluded I really am. Yes, yes, I'm beginning to see how fat, pale, rich, big business, skrew the environment, pre-emtive striking, Republicans, are on my side! They-the guardians of our civil liberties! Don't look now-but the government, including the republicans, want your guns. Please remind me-exactly what is the right doing for me?

By Patrick J. Buchanan
Since the massacre of 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech, the mainstream media have obsessed over the fact the crazed gunman was able to buy a Glock in the state of Virginia.
Little attention has been paid to the Richmond legislators who voted to make "Hokie Nation," a Middle American campus of 26,000 kids, a gun-free zone where only the madman had a semi-automatic.
Almost no attention has been paid to the fact that Cho Seung-Hui was not an American at all, but an immigrant, an alien. Had this deranged young man who secretly hated us never come here, 32 people would heading home from Blacksburg for summer vacation.
What was Cho doing here? How did he get in?
Cho was among the 864,000 Koreans here as a result of the Immigration Act of 1965, which threw the nation's doors open to the greatest invasion in history, an invasion opposed by a majority of our people. Thirty-six million, almost all from countries whose peoples have never fully assimilated in any Western country, now live in our midst.
Cho was one of them.
In stories about him, we learn he had no friends, rarely spoke, and was a loner, isolated from classmates and roommates. Cho was the alien in Hokie Nation. And to vent his rage at those with whom he could not communicate, he decided to kill in cold blood dozens of us.
What happened in Blacksburg cannot be divorced from what's been happening to America since the immigration act brought tens of millions of strangers to these shores, even as the old bonds of national community began to disintegrate and dissolve in the social revolutions of the 1960s.
To intellectuals, what makes America a nation is ideas—ideas in the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, Gettysburg Address and Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
But documents no matter how eloquent and words no matter how lovely do not a nation make. Before 1970, we were a people, a community, a country. Students would have said aloud of Cho: "Who is this guy? What's the matter with him?"
Teachers would have taken action to get him help—or get him out.
Since the 1960s, we have become alienated from one another even as millions of strangers arrive every year. And as Americans no longer share the old ties of history, heritage, faith, language, tradition, culture, music, myth or morality, how can immigrants share those ties?
Many immigrants do not assimilate. Many do not wish to. They seek community in their separate subdivisions of our multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic, multilingual mammoth mall of a nation. And in numbers higher than our native born, some are going berserk here.
The 1993 bombers of the World Trade Center and the killers of 9-11 were all immigrants or illegals. Colin Ferguson, the Jamaican who massacred six and wounded 19 in an anti-white shooting spree on the Long Island Railroad, was an illegal. John Lee Malvo, the Beltway Sniper, was flotsam from the Caribbean.
Angel Resendez, the border-jumping rapist who killed at least nine women, was an illegal alien. Julio Gonzalez, who burned down the Happy Land social club in New York, killing 87, arrived in the Mariel boatlift.
Ali Hassan Abu Kamal, who wounded seven, killing one, in a rampage on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, was a Palestinian. As was Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Robert Kennedy.
The rifleman who murdered two CIA employees at the McLean, Va., headquarters was a Pakistani. When Chai Vang, a Hmong, was told by a party of Wisconsin hunters to vacate their deer stand, he shot six to death. Peter Odighizuwa, the gunman who killed the dean, a teacher and a student at the Appalachian School of Law, was a Nigerian.
Hesham Hadayet, who shot up the El Al counter at LAX, killing two and wounding four, was an Egyptian immigrant. Gamil al-Batouti, the copilot who yelled, "I put my faith in Allah's hands," as he crashed his plane into the Atlantic after departing JFK Airport, killing 217, was an Egyptian.
Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, the UNC graduate who ran his SUV over nine people on Chapel Hill campus and said he was "thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah," was an Iranian.
Juan Corona, who murdered 25 people in California to be ranked with the likes of Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy, was a Mexican.
Where does one find such facts? On VDARE.com, a Website that covers the dark side of diversity covered up by a politically correct media, which seem to believe it is socially unhealthy for us Americans to see any correlation at all between mass migrations and mass murder.
"In our diversity is our strength!" So we are endlessly lectured.
But are we really a better, safer, freer, happier, more united and caring country than we were before, against our will, we became what Theodore Roosevelt called "a polyglot boarding house for the world."
Patrick J. Buchanan needs no introduction to VDARE.COM readers

The thing with human scum like McCarthy or, for that matter, Cindy Sheehan, is that they KNOW they are full of it. McCarthy KNOWS gun control leads to more slaughters. Sheehan KNOWS that her son was fighting for a cause that he (regardless of how most Americans feel) belived in. They are both exploiting the graves of people they professed to care about as they know few people will have the balls to call them out. Bitch Sheehan wears an ear-to-ear grin whenever she talks about her dead son. They are vultures and about as low as humanity can possibly go.

If Mcarthy's hubby and son were armed, they would not have become victims. I refuse to be a victim, and I don't see what's so hard about this.

Anyone who want's to ban guns is bad.The main thing is not to give these people any type of power at all!

lmao Dr. Ralph "...HITLARY!" that cracks me up. Yeah, I'm democrat, but from the sounds of it, I really don't want to vote for Hillary...I must warn mother about this abomination.
Posted by: Bobert | July 25, 2007 at 10:45 PM
And these same govenment idiots want to give illegal aliens immunity and citizenship? No questions asked? What's wrong with these people?
Posted by: Zermoid | July 26, 2007 at 05:21 PM
Well, Dave, I'm no Hillary fan--as President (God help us!)she'd gladly sign any anti-gun bill placed before her, no matter how nutty. I didn't mean to imply that Hillary wasn't in league with the enemy. But she's not the brains of the enemy that McCarthy is. The NRA would do well to work on finding a replacement for McCarthy, before some of her crazy ideas get picked up by the Democrat Congress, which (fortunately!) currently seems to have other fish to fry.

Hey Goofus,
If you don't pay support for a child you brought into the world, I hope you lose everything you love, especially your guns you sack of shxt.
Posted by: | August 01, 2007 at 03:53 PM
Goofus,
I've been laid off before from a great graphics position. It was right before 911 and the economy was already terrible for those in advertisement. The guy I was working for died of cancer and I was on my axx. I tried to get back into graphics or a sign company but they were laying people off and closing not hiring.
I had to get a different type of job I hated and got paid less.
You know what I did.
I married a woman with a 2 yr old that another sack of shxt made excuses instead of helping. I gave as much as I could and got by.
Save your excuses for your alcoholic friends.

And for the rest of you bashing democrats. I hate all politicians because the lobbyists make your laws.
If you ever figure that out, and realize your just resting on crutches, confused by design, you might figure out what life is really about.

Dave, Colin Ferguson acually used an M-15, not a handgun. Not that it makes much difference, anyway.
