Liberals Panic As They Lose the Gun Narrative

Quote:
When you argue for a living, you can tell how an argument is going for you. The evidence and my gut both tell me that the liberals have lost control of the gun control narrative. Not for lack of trying – it was almost as if they were poised to leap into action across the political, media and cultural spectrum the second the next semi-human creep shot up another “gun free zone.” This was their big opening to shift the debate and now it’s closing. They’ve lost, and they are going nuts.

The evidence is all around that this is not going to be the moment where America begins a slide into disarmed submission through an endless series of ever-harsher “reasonable restrictions” on our fundamental rights. You just have to look past the shrieking media harpies to see what’s really happening.

Let’s start with the most obvious omen that this tsunami has peaked. President Obama thrilled his base by grandstanding at the memorial, and then promptly washed his hands of it by handing it over to a “blue ribbon commission.” Making Joe Biden its chairman was like staking a vampire through the heart, then hosing him down with holy water before burying his body beneath the Gilroy Garlic Festival.

So, where is Beohner? McConnell? McCain? Bush 43? Cantor? Anyone on the right, big names, willing to, now that the parade has formed, jump out front and pretend to be a leader?

If they truly are politicians, now is the time to jump and this is what is so troubling about the GOP; they don't even act like politicians, jumping on it when they have advantage. It's simply not easy to see what they believe in other than Wall street, war and the person-hood of huge corporations.

Guys like that have tried for years to talk about the benefits of resorting a conservative, faith-based culture in our country and it's been rejected by progressives. The "problem" we have now is with our culture, not with our guns (IMO). It's the culture progressives wanted, and now they've got it.

Hey - where's the next MMA fight? I'm so mad, I just want to beat the crap outta someone.

Yeah, and that's a losing argument. Always was. The 'good old days' where we had, supposedly, higher morals, we still had madmen. We still had bad people, kooks, vicious folks.

This is a nation founded on religious freedom, declared by the statement that we are all endowed with certain inalienable rights by OUR creator, not THE creator. That is why the constitution is not the Koran. That is why the constitution focuses on the individual rights and implicit in religious freedom is the right to believe freely.

We might wanna consider focusing on all our rights and stop looking for scapegoats that don't exist and, worse, have not been and will not be the path to forming a more perfect union.

Yea - but back in the day, if you had a kook, he was called a kook and he was dealt with. Nowadays, people are afraid to call a kook a kook and everyone has to get a trophy to make them feel good because progressives want it that way.

So, the solution seems to me to be to tell people arguing to destroy the constitution to #### off. That makes me feel good.

Your right, I shouldn't have put it as fecetiously as I did, it was only in response to Larry's request for a big name politician as a banner carrier.

I think one thing that ought to be common in terms of definition is that any 'big name' politician, at least these days, is NOT a leader and is nothing but a banner carrier waiting to be told, or paid, to carry a given banner.
