Washington Navy Yard Shooting

 
To begin with, I join most Americans in sending my sincere condolences to the families of the twelve victims who were killed by a madman. The shooter (who I refuse to even name) had mental problems, true enough.  Once again, the mental aspect of the shooter is being called into question.  The mental health community failed in the Newtown mass murder and again at the Naval Yard shooting.  Both shooters had received countless hours of therapy.  Yet, it could not prevent the deaths of 26 people in Newtown and 12 in Washington.  Once again, the gun control zealots have pounced on another mass shooting in order to push their agenda.

Syria: To Bomb or Not to Bomb

There are several things I have noticed about this entire debate on military strike(s) on Syria's President Assad  for alleged gas attacks on his own people.  The first thing I noticed is the lack of outrage by the anti-war Left such as Code Pink and, of course, the Hollywood elitists such as Alec Baldwin, Roseanne Barr and others of that ilk.  They do not seemingly realize how hypocritical they are by not condemning a war with Syria (and that is definitely on the Obama agenda list).  Nothing the Left does surprises me any longer.  They have largely remained silent with all the NSA spying domestically on John Q. Public.  They have stood on the sidelines on Benghazi, Fast&Furious, snooping into AP employees phone records to name just three.

Chris Christie: A Man Without A Party

Chris Christie, alleged Republican Governor of New Jersey, does his best to prove he is not a Republican, seemingly, each week.  He has amply demonstrated he is not a conservative.  In fact, I can't say with any authority he is even the much despised "establishment Republican" that conservatives love to berate.  Christie openly campaigned for taxpayer money for Hurricane Sandy.  Now, you ask, who could be against that?  No one, not me, not anyone.  I know what it's like to experience the devastation of a hurricane.

Phony Scandals?

It appears our beloved President, Barack Hussein Obama, thinks four dead Americans in Benghazi is a "phony scandal."  Likewise, President Obama feels using NSA to spy on Americans is the right thing to do due to "national security."  Using IRS to target conservative groups is a "phony scandal."  Fast and Furious gun running operation, which caused the death of at least two border patrol agents, is a "phony scandal."
