Gun Advocates: Arm 'Em All!!!

Authorities say a 14-year-old student was hospitalized Thursday after being shot in the head at an Atlanta middle school.

Pro-Gunners: There are more good-guy students at schools than bad-guy students. Arm them all and separate the wheat from the shaft. A handful of good guys will die but their numerical superiority will waste all the bad guys.

GUN DON'T KILL PEOPLE, GUN OWNERS KILL PEOPLE

A brand new insight has been revealed to the NRA. This revelation states that gun owners, not guns kill people. The NRA is astonished.

NRA: All Those Kids Should Have Been Armed

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. Police, SWAT teams and negotiators were at a rural property where a man was believed to be holed up in a homemade bunker Wednesday after fatally shooting the driver of a school bus and fleeing with a 6-year-old child passenger, authorities said.

NRA: If each kid on that bus had his/her fully-loaded assault weapon, that bad-guy would be nothing  but a blot on the road waiting to be sponged up by a blotter. And, each kid would be patting him/herself on the back knowing they killed the bad-guy.

Examples Of Just Why The GOP Is Losing

GOP Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana decided right before Christmas that Medicaid in Louisiana would no longer cover Hospice for the poor who are dying. He reversed that decision just a few days before it was to go into effect because of public protests. (Even an idiot could see that his policy would cause these poor to go to Emergency Rooms more often thus costing much more that it would save).

He now wants to eliminate income taxes in Louisiana while increasing sales taxes. This would hurt the poor who pay little or no income taxes but who would have to pay more in sales taxes to survive.
(Wait! Raise sales taxes? A man who denounces all increases of taxes?) It would help the rich get richer, because the increase in sales taxes would be much less than the income tax they would pay.

My point in these two examples is that this is typical GOP thinking: First, do everything on the backs of the poor and ill. Let them pick themselves up by their bootstraps. Don't simply be neutral and do nothing to help them, but do everything to push them farther into despair. Second, help the rich get richer.

The GOP will, of course, deny any such intentions, and maybe really believe their denial. However, the American public is believing it more and more, and voting against them.

GOP: Damn, He's Good. We'll Back Him For Next President.

Japan's new government is barely a month old, and already one of its most senior members has insulted tens of millions of voters by suggesting that the elderly are an unnecessary drain on the country's finances.
