My thoughts on the horrific shooting in Connecticut

Words cannot describe the feelings and emotions I am going through right now over this shooting. Luckily there have been others like Robert Stacy McCain and Becca Lower for their wonderful pieces (which I will link to toward the end of this entry) on this situation. One thing I have to say -- and I had said it after the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, earlier this year and after other shootings -- is that guns don’t kill people; gun LAWS kill people. This can be seen in other parts of the world where strict gun laws were in effect throughout history, notably in Cambodia under Pol Pot, Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, Russia (the old Soviet Union) under Stalin, and other places. Strict gun laws, where the government says that citizens cannot have firearms, lead to the government taking over every aspect of the citizens’ lives to the point that it becomes a totalitarian society.

And regardless of what we all think of Obama’s policies, I think he spoke right from the heart when he addressed the nation at 3:15 PM Eastern. In my mind, this was ALMOST like his speech after the Aurora shooting earlier this year and also the heinous shooting in Arizona which took the lives of 6 people and severely wounded then-Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Arizona) where he spoke truly from the heart. Do I believe him? Mayhap not, but then too now is not the time for politics but rather for prayers and healing. If he were to speak this way all the time, then who knows? After all, there is a saying I hear often (do not know how it originated) which goes “A broken clock is right twice a day.”  Mayhap this is the time in which Obama got it right. Now tomorrow he might say something which might make me despise his policies as normal, but today he spoke not as a President but rather as a father.

Thanks to Hogewash for putting out the Quote of the Day. If you had not read it, I encourage you to do so.

If you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you’ve read his autobiography.

The Twelve Days of Christmas - Southwest Florida Style

 

On The News-Press Facebook Page, there was a wonderful post on Tuesday which people were asked to come up with their versions of the Twelve Days of Christmas. These were the three posted on the page (the final two of which were considered for print in The News-Press today) 

 

From ScottandLaura BL:

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve Everblades Games,
Eleven Norman Love Chocolates,
Ten Broadway Palm Shows,
Nine hours fishing,
Eight games of Red Sox,
Seven gators swimming,
Six shells from Sanibel,
Five rounds of golf,
Four nights on Captiva,
Three snook a biting,
Two Miracles tickets,
And a heron in a palm tree!

From Danny D-boy Davis:

12 fisherman fishing
11 dolphins jumping
10 parasailers
9 ladies tanning
8 miles of traffic
7 tourist swimming
6 Seagals squawking
5 oooo'clock somewhere
4 sand castles
3 um-brellas
2 sea Turtles
And a pelican in a palm tree

From Lisa Sobon Martin (the one printed in the paper):

On The Twelfth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me - 12 Snowbirds Driving, 11 Sea Turtles Nesting, 10 Spring Break Partiers, 9 Tanners Tanning, 8 Months of A/C, 7 Miles of Traffic, 6 Months of Hurricanes, 5 Traffic Lights per Mile, 4 Speed Boats Racing, 3 Football Teams, 2 Joggers Jogging and a Green Parrot in a Royal Palm

I will be monitoring the page, and if any others are posted, I will place them here in other entries.

It’s Hump Day….

And here is The Other McCain with The News to get you over that hump.

h/t to The Other McCain, Liberty News Network, Dana Loesch, Jackie Wellfonder, The Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft, Legal Insurrection, Watchdog Wire, The Camp of the Saints, Da Tech Guy, Notion Tablets, The Daley Gator, American Power, and The Political Hat (so far) for their pieces on the Michigan Union Protests yesterday where Steven Crowder got suckerpunched by a Union Goon named Tony Camargo. I will be working on my own rant on this soonish.

h/t to W.J.J. Hoge on his piece on Union Thuggery.

And in speaking of Hogewash, mad props to him for his piece on #BrettKimberlin attempting to be a detective.

h/t to im41 for his piece on Crowder appearing on Hannity last night.

And here is another good piece on yesterday’s Union Thuggery by im41.

h/t to Becca Lower of Lowering The Boom for her compilation piece on yesterday’s Union Thuggery.

And we have Felicia Cravens (aka the Attack Fish) with a massive major rant on the Union Protest.

And both Felicia Cravens and Trish Proulx had done a special Union Thuggery episode on Own The Narrative last night. As soon as I find the link to the show I will post it up.

And yes, there has been other news outside of the Michigan Union Thuggery. For instance, there was another shooting, this time at an Oregon Mall.

There might be some much needed changes at the polls when Lee County (Florida) residents go to vote in 2014.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi outlaws bath salts, designating them Schedule 1 Controlled Substances which brings a third degree felony for an individual to “sell, manufacture, or deliver, or possess with intent to sell, manufacture or deliver” these drugs.

 

And that is all the news that is news for today. Remember to hit my tip jar if you like what you read on this blog. Also, follow me on Twitter (@RickBulow1974) for more news and other information throughout the day.

As the saying goes, the early bird…

gets The News

Thanks to Wombat-socho for putting out the Full Metal Jacket Reach Around links.

While #BrettKimberlin himself got off scot-free in court last week, his sycophants are having a hard time getting the same ruling. (h/t The Other McCain, Popehat, and W.J.J. Hoge)

And in speaking of Hogewash, here is a good article about #BrettKimberlin and his dabbling in alternative healing.

A h/t to Im41 for his piece on The Blogger’s Rules For Defeating Liberals

As 2012 winds to an end, here is part one of the best and worst of the 2012 campaigns

It is time to look ahead to the 2014 midterms as both the Republican and Democrat Parties welcome new Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairmen and look to firm up Executive Directors

It seems that Tim Scott is the frontrunner to be Jim DeMint’s replacement in the Senate

And that is all the news that is news early in the morning. Follow me on Twitter (@RickBulow1974) for more news articles throughout the day.
