it's a brand new world

As of 09:40 am on 12/15/2012 our world may have changed forever…..

As the world watches, the United States may be taking its first steps towards a totalitarian society.  The events that occurred this morning were horrific; no one could ever argue that fact.  However, within hours the progressive left was poised to begin a push for rapid and sweeping gun control reform measures that will forever change our country forever.  While Officers were still on the ground at the scene of the school shooting, President Obama and several of his subordinates had already made the following statements:

"These neighbors are our neighbors, and these children are our children, and we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this -- regardless of the politics," (President Obama in public announcement 12/15/2012).

"I do not think today is the day" to have "the usual Washington policy debates" over gun control”.  Jay Carney White House Press Secretary

(During his 2008 presidential campaign, then-candidate Barack Obama vowed to renew the assault weapons ban).

 “As a nation I think we have to ask ourselves some hard questions. We gather too often to talk about these kinds of incidents. We need to discuss who we are as a nation, talk about the freedoms that we have, the rights that we have and how those might be used in a responsible way”.  Eric Holder

"Our expressions of sympathy must be matched with concrete actions to stop gun violence". Representative Nita Lowey, (D)-New York.

And let’s not forget Hollywood, ultra progressives jumped on the anti-gun propaganda wagon before the sun was down.

"Too soon to speak out about a gun-crazy nation? No, too late.  The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health care, and an end to violence as public policy,"  -Michael Moore

"America likes guns the way the rest of the world likes soccer, guns don't kill people. People in states without gun-purchase background checks & waiting periods kill people." - John Fugelsang

"Gun control people!!! My heart is breaking. As a parent this is my worst nightmare."- Michelle Branch

"Gun control is our only road to freedom, freedom from the fear of senselessly losing children. I'm so saddened. WE NEED LAWS NOW." -Rashida Jones

"Now President Obama's biggest test - will he have the courage to stand up to the American gun lobby?"  -Piers Morgan

"gun control is no longer debatable -- it's not a 'conversation' -- It's a moral mandate."- Mia Farrow

I could go on; the list is growing faster than I can keep up.  The plain truth is that most, if not all of these celebrities have armed security.  They do not need a personal weapon to protect themselves because they hire someone to do it for them.  Now on to other issues…

Rahm Emanuel, one of Obama’s top advisors in his first administration, coined the phrase, “you never want to let a serious crisis go to waste”.  True to his statement, the White House appears poised to do just that.  As Americans, we should be terrified of the impending ramifications from today’s shootings.  It’s a sad fact that gang bangers can be killed every day in the poor neighborhoods of America, and barely anyone notices.  But this is something different, this time 20 children were massacred and the progressives stand ready to use their bodies as the foundation for sweeping reform that will destroy personal freedoms and pave the way for a society that can no longer defend itself.     We have reached a critical mass where our government no longer fears its citizens, and a self described elite minority class constantly enacts policy to the majority of its people.  We have only to look at a few examples from history to know this is a very dangerous thing.

In 1938 Hitler enacted a law prohibiting German Jews from owning firearms.  In less than a year he began his attempt to exterminate the entire race (approximately 13 million people).

In 1935 Mao Tse-Tung enacted gun control in China, then killed between 40-80 million of his countrymen and women.

Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot almost wiped out the population of Cambodia in 1956 (1-3 million) after taking up all of the weapons belonging to the people.

 

There are several more examples, but I think we all get the picture.  If we do nothing, gun control is inevitable.  What happened today is a tragedy; do not let the government add to this terrible act by stripping the American people of their god given rights.
