Liberal Rules of Blame

Well folks its happened again and the liberals are singing the same song. I 've had this topic under wraps for a while but' Clinton's comments yesterday just take the cake. As I remember we didn't have many of these mass killings until Bill and Co. came to power and started talking about taking our guns away.. Think about it!! Before "92" how many of these tragic events had happened.. The only one I can really remember is the McDonald's shooting. But now, over the last six years, it seems, begining with Waco we've seen a rash of them.. Watch this morning and all next week on the Talk Shows.. It will be the same old story as presented below.

Whenever some terrible event captures the country's attention, liberals move in like buzzards. They know that tragedies create the perfect opening for simplistic, emotion-based liberal slogans. Thus the race begins to move from the facts --- with specific guilty individuals responsible for specific evil actions --- to the desired liberal conclusion: America must be remade.. In the image of liberal utopia, of course. When the next Littlton occurs, watch for liberals to follow this entirely predictable sequence of commandments:

* Never, ever, blame the people who actually did it.
Unless, of course, the crime was committed by someone who can be linked to conservatives. If all else fails, claim conservative policies "created the atmosphere" for the tragedy.

*Whenever possible, blame inanimate objects. Namely Guns.

*Rules one, two, three and last: Blame Guns

*Corollary: blame guns without child safety locks; blame gun manufacturers; blame gun dealers; blame gun shows; blame "the gun lobby"...Hint: anything will work as long as it has the word "gun" in it..

*Call guns "assault weapons" Decry them...

*Call for more gun laws. Do not, under any circumstances, admit that there are scads of existing gun laws. You are a liberal. There can never be enough gun laws.

*Blame vague, ubiquitous forces: the internet, video games; movies.

*Call for more regulations. There are never enough regulations.

*Blame vague, ubiquitous emotions: depression, rage, isolation, alienation....

*Call for an end to teasing..

*Call for conflict resolution training for children and parenting skill classes for adults.

*Declare violence a public health problem. Launch a national campaign against it. Have a summit. Announce your desire to "remake the culture"

*Call for an end to overcrowded schools. This, for example, actually said by Hillary Clinton, who apparently believes that the Littleton killers shot up their classmates because their school was to big: "Their is no way that children can be made to feel special and valued, that they can be given the attention and support they need, and especially if they are vulnerable or susceptible to the culture and therefore more likly to be prone toward aggression that anybody will ever notice.... Right now most of our schools are no longer communities, and to many kids are passing through them anonymously... So we are going to have to change the way we think about, how we build and construct and organize our schools." Huhhh????????

*The Trump card: Blame America. Hey, we're all victims.
