Obama to gun-control foes: Examine your conscience
Quote:One month to the day after the elementary school slaughter in Connecticut, the president said he had received recommendations from Vice President Joe Biden's task force for curbing a national epidemic of gun violence. Those proposals are expected to face opposition from gun-rights groups like the NRA and its allies in Congress.
The Biden task force has "presented me now with a list of sensible, common-sense steps that can be taken to make sure that the kinds of violence we saw in Newtown doesn’t happen again," he told reporters. “I’ll present the details later in the week.”
He added, “My starting point is not to worry about the politics. My starting point is to focus on what makes sense, what works, what should we be doing to make sure that our children are safe and that we’re reducing the incidence of gun violence. I think we can do that in a sensible way that comports with the Second Amendment.”
But will Congress adopt proposals like renewing the assault weapons ban? “I don’t know,” Obama acknowledged. Lawmakers opposed to such steps must "examine their own conscience." In some cases, Congress won't act but he will, the president said.

That's right...the guy who has killed hundreds of innocent women and children all across the Middle East with drones, and whose economic sanctions are currently inflicting needless suffering on tens of millions of Iranians is telling people to check their conscience. What a hypocritical piece of ****.

Hmmm....So you are equating a self righteous moron with a mass murderer or possibly a serial rapist?

Some self-righteous morons were murders and rapists, like Charles Manson and his followers, Jim Jones, etc. So I fail to see your point...

Those people have evil intent. Right now, you are coming off as being self righteous, so are you the equivalent of Charles Manson?

Charles Manson is crazy. So his intent is ruled by his neurosis, which is neither evil nor good. It's an illness. But since it makes him a danger to anyone who comes into contact with him, he's right where he needs to be now...
Now if you want to equate me with that, feel free. Your opinion of me isn't going to effect me one way or the other, since it's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned...

RE: Obama to gun-control foes: Examine your conscience
See, you are being self righteous, which you equated with evil intent. You should turn yourself into the local authorities since you are a danger to society.
By the way, I'm not equating you with anything, just using your little comparison to show you how stupid it was.

Well, you've just proven you're a moron, since you've taken this to ridiculous extremes. Stay calm. The rubber wagon will be along shortly to fit you with a white jacket and extra long sleeves...

Uh, you're the one who took the thread in this direction, and you're the one who brought up Manson and Jones. You're becoming delusional.

And you've both missed the entire point of my statement, focusing on particulars, rather than the point being made...
Of course that doesn't surprise me, since the entire nation is focused on minor particulars. The people are missing the general overall picture, since all they can focus on is some minor issue that isn't germane to the problem at hand...
That's why I'm convinced that democracy will never work long term. The people are too damn stupid to be able make it work...

RE: Obama to gun-control foes: Examine your conscience
His audacity is astounding. He implies that not placing further restrictions on legal gun owners is immoral. Exactly two people are at fault for the Newtown tragedy, the mentally ill shooter, and his stupid mother for keeping her guns accessible to him. The 100 million legal gun owners in the US are not to blame, nor are the weapons they own. Lawmakers shouldn't have to be belittled by the president, or made to feel that their position on the subject is morally flawed.

His entire phony career is built on making others feel needless guilt. Guilt for making a lot of money. Guilt for wrongs of the past, like slavery. Why would he change now?

RE: Obama to gun-control foes: Examine your conscience
Let's call it what it is: bullying. That in a nutshell is how Obama does politics. Bully those who are his opponents.
Whether or not the issue is the debt ceiling or gun control, the tactic is the same. He's no leader but simply a bully.
