Jared Loughner: Modern Liberalism’s Natural Consequence
The Democrats and the Left have a long tradition of vile insinuation and slander:
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves." - William Pitt
Sheriff Dupnik of Pima County Arizona is a Democrat. He is also a partisan hack who apparently sees law enforcement through partisan spectacles, and who therefore needs to retire. If he keeps on making stupid and ignorant partisan allegations, he will seal the fate of, and all but destroy the Democrat Party in Arizona.
Do we see a pattern here?
The Democrats and the Left have a long tradition of vile insinuation and slander:
- The Democrats blamed John Kennedy's assassination on Right Wing Extremists. That is, until they found out that Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marxist Operative who supported Castro ... Still, they persisted to blast the Right until they finally punted the football to weird folks [like Oliver Stone] who now like to blame the CIA ... and the atmosphere of hate created by the Right. The the Democrats pretended that to act in such fashion so was not shameful, because after all the Right is evil ... oops!
- They blamed Robert F. Kennedy's assassination on Right Wing Extremists ... that is until the killer was identified as Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian Anti-Semite who hated RFK's support of Israel. After this assassination, the Democrats sought to abolish or alter the Second Amendment. But after all was said and done, the Democrat's jump to conclusions was excusable in their minds because the Right is evil ... oops!
- The Democrats blamed Martin Luther King's assassination on Right Wing Extremists. Then they discovered that James Earl Ray was a convicted felon who had twice escaped from prisons, who was also a white supremacist, who hated Blacks and saw MLK as a threat. It was proven Ray acted alone. The Democrats looked for a way to abolish or alter Second Amendment rights. There was no vast Right Wing Conspiracy. But the Democrats said their assumptions were only natural because the Right is evil ... oops!
- When Mark David Chapman assassinated John Lennon, Democrats and Leftists rushed to suggest that Richard Nixon was making aggressive FBI/CIA checks on Lennon and trying to deport Lennon for alleged subversive political activities. It turns out that Chapman assassinated Lennon as a result of a disturbed and unbalanced mind. The Democrats wanted to change or abolish Second Amendment rights. There was no Right Wing Conspiracy. But because Nixon was reviled by the Left it was worth a shot to blame the Right ... oops!
- When President Gerald Ford survived two separate assassination attempts in 1975, there was no big rush to judgment by Republicans. Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a dangerous member from the Anarchist Manson Family and a part of the militant environmentalist movement. She threatened Ford with a .45 caliber M1911 pistol at him. [Later in 1987, and still loyal to Manson, she escaped from prison for a while.] Seventeen days later, Sarah Jane Moore shot at Ford with an illegally procured firearm. There was no GOP clamor to restrict the Second Amendment and no one blamed Democrats or the Environmentalist Movement. Incredibly, Sarah Moore was released from Federal Prison in December 2007, and Fromme was released in August 2009 ... after attempting to kill a President of the United States. The Democrats were largely silent and did not rush to justice over these two Leftist criminals. But they did seek to weaken the Second Amendment in the years to follow.
- When John Hinckley tried to kill President Ronald Reagan, there was no rush by the GOP to look for a Left-wing Conspiracy. Reagan recovered, but never sought draconian measures to protect himself as a result of the attack, restrict free speech or to limit gun rights. The Democrats again sought to restrict the Second Amendment. Also, as a bonus, the MSM media gleefully pointed out that the Hinckley family had ties to George H. W. Bush's failed 1980 Presidential Primary Campaign. Why? ... to ensure everyone that it was not the Left [who hated Reagan] who was responsible, but a wealthy scion of the GOP.
- Countless Democrat, Liberal and Left-wing pundits spoke non-stop in the crudest, vilest terms about George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for eight full years and even well into the Obama Presidency. It was not simply name calling and ridicule, that is to be expected from the Left. But they took it to the next level. At one point, the Left even made and released a film about the assassination of George W. Bush. Despicable!
"Stick to our guns," and to "stand up" for free speech
This is why certain big government, anti-gun, Democrats decried the reading of the Constitution at the opening of Congress, and now they wish to restrict free political speech. Now is the time ... dare I say it ... to "stick to our guns," and to "stand up" for free speech. Or, we can all choose to become like poor, hopeless, blame-shifting Democrats like Sheriff Dupnik. How pitiful.Read next: Elections Do Have Consequences
