I told you I would never abandon my political agenda and I have not. Over the past month I have listened to the far right wing idiot machine and am sickened by the takeover of America by extremist. These are paranoid, neurotic, narcissistic people that somehow gained the attention of the public. Twenty, six and seven year old children have been massacred and all we hear is their whining about their second amendment rights. The President, Democratic Leaders and intelligent people across this country are not after the second amendment. We are after common sense solutions to an epidemic problem.
People, who believe that, black hawk helicopters are waiting to swoop down into their front yard and drag your family into the street, to kill them are suffering from some type of neurosis or psychosis. They should remove them selves from any contact with civilized people and leave the rest of us to solve the problem. The far right wing radio and media are fanning the flames of hysteria by predicting revolution. They expound on the value of hate to drive their listening audiences and it is working. The gun manufacturers are making millions of dollars and their profits are driven by unfounded fear and hate. People like Glen Beck, a megalomania in my opinion, are responsible for this hysteria. The NRA responds to the nuts on the fringe and ignore the average person. Their leadership is the marionettes at the end of the strings that are maneuvered by the gun and ammunition industry. The money pours in, the paranoia spreads and the killings continue.
I know that throughout the history of our country the fringe has existed. They screamed their lunacy, but for the most part it feel on deaf ears. The problem today is this group of people have a megaphone and the constant shouting is driving our leaders. Steve Stockman a Republican Congressman from Texas, was running around, screaming he will bring articles of impeachment against the President, before Mr. Obama even introduced his proposals for gun legislature. Rand Paul from Kentucky was denouncing the President as trying to set himself up as a king or monarch, also without any idea of the Presidents agenda. Paul even stated he would leave no, "rock unturned", to stop the President. Does that include the rock that he and Stockman live under? Could we, please at least, hear what the President has to say before we start to attack him for it?
Folks, right now America is under siege. The extremist have taken our country hostage. They see conspiracy and subterfuge around every corner. They have to be stopped. Last week a former Marine wrote a letter to Senator Feinstein and denounced her attempt to place a new ban on assault weapons. He even stated " No woman could tell him what to own." He became the darling of the far right. I will thank him for his service and then suggest he get treatment for his mental health issues. This is the type of personality that becomes dangerous. They feel they have a right to do and say anything. They have a right to ignore laws and people that are legally elected to make those laws. They feel their rights are the only ones worth protecting. He swore an oath to defend our country and the Constitution. That oath extents to the twenty children and their families. What about their rights? What about the rights of other innocent people that are destroyed every year, by gun violence?
Keep your hunting rifles. Keep your hand guns for protection. Also find ways to blend your rights and protect the rights of others to live. Societies should find ways to move forward. Are we that fearful, are we that unintelligent, are we that unwilling, to find a way to stop violence without more violence. I happen to believe that the best way to move forward as a country is to find ways to settle our disputes and our differences, peacefully, with our intellect, not our weapons.
