GUN CONTROL: What the Chicago Marxist/Liberals Do Not Want You To Know Posted: 19 Oct 2012 04:23 PM PDT Chicago gun control proponents do not want you to see the real face of crime in Chicago … This is a seventeen year old girl who allegedly participated in a robbery in which a loaded weapon was used to rob two citizens … As we can plainly see, the police were useless to prevent the robbery and the victims were not allowed access to self-protective weapons because of Chicago’s strict gun laws. In essence, setting the scene for innocent, law-abiding citizens to be preyed upon by thugs and criminals. The story … Four teenage girls have been charged with robbing two University of Chicago students at gunpoint. Police said two of the girls approached a 28-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man as they were walking in the 5600 block of South Blackstone Avenue, shortly after midnight on Tuesday. A 14-year-old girl allegedly displayed a handgun, while a 15-year-old girl demanded the victims’ backpacks. The man handed over his backpack, but the woman did not, and the 14-year-old allegedly pistol-whipped her. As she was hitting the woman, the gun went off, but no one was struck by the bullet, police said.   The robbers fled the scene, but were captured a short time later. A University of Chicago police officer found two of the suspects after a security guard reported seeing two suspicious females run by a building at 49th Street and Lake Park Avenue. After the two girls were arrested, the victims later identified them as the robbers. Another suspect was found after police on patrol spotted a car going the wrong way at 48th street and Dorchester Avenue. The car crashed when the officers tried to stop it. A 16-year-old girl inside ran away, but was caught, and later admitted to being the getaway driver. The fourth suspect, a 17-year-old girl, was arrested in south suburban Calumet Park, around 2:45 a.m. It was not immediately clear what her role was in the robbery. Three of the girls are being charged as adults. Michelle Jones, 17, of the 12200 block of South Elizabeth Street; Nataya Collins, 16, of 1200 block of West 74th Place; and Kenyadrea Simpson, 15, of the 500 block of West 125th Place each were charged with armed robbery. Bond was set yesterday at $100,000 for each of the three charged as adults.The 14-year-old girl was being charged as a juvenile. Teenage Girls Charged With Robberies At U Of C « CBS Chicago

>Bottom line …
Who is to blame? Certainly not the weapon – which was probably obtained illegally. Not society – they did not pull a gun on innocent victims in order to rob them of their belongings. So who is left? The four alleged perpetrators who should now be made to suffer the consequences of their actions. No plea deals, no reduced sentences for a first-time crime. Straight prison with a five year enhancement for using a gun in a crime if they are found guilty.
It is time to hold the perpetrators of crime responsible for their actions. Not innocent law-abiding citizens who have a God-given right to protect themselves from other malevolent human beings. As for those who point to the perpetrator’s minority status and suggest that the broader society should cut them some slack because of historical issues, I say draw the line now. No more affirmative action criminals. No more liberals excusing the inexcusable.
These are thugs and criminals – and should be treated at such. FOLKS: IT IS CRIME CONTROL AND LIBERALS, NOT GUN CONTROL THAT IS THE PROBLEM!
Could this person be innocent of the charges? Yes, and that is what a court of competent jurisdiction will determine. But, you must ask yourself, under what conditions should a teenager be wandering around a park at 2:45 a.m. and what about her parents?

OBAMA: POLITICS OVER NATIONAL DEFENSE, SAFETY AND SECURITY

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 01:42 PM PDT

Before you decide President Obama and his fellow travelers deserve re-election …
The President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief, cannot be trusted with National Security.
The people surrounding Obama were so afraid that Obama’s unelected advisor Valerie Jarrett would halt the killing of Osama bin Laden for her own purposes as she reportedly did on previous occasions, that they ONLY advised Obama the raid was underway when the aircraft bearing American troops crossed into Pakistani airspace. And then they needed to tell Obama on the golf course!
The President of the United States, Barrack Hussein Obama, compromised security to such an extent that people were killed and/or imprisoned due to his actions.
Bottom line …
Obama and his fellow travelers must be thrown out of office. Watch this video – it is not propaganda – it is the TRUTH about a clear and present national security danger: Barrack Hussein Obama! The President has placed all of those participating in the Osama bin Laden raid are now at risk!

OBAMA: CROOKED AS CLINTON, STUPID AS CARTER -- ENOUGH SAID?

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 01:08 PM PDT

It is one thing to trash the Constitution by failing to release a Constitutionally-mandated budget for three years in a row or make an illegal recess appointment to a powerful regulatory agency when Congress is still technically in session, so why are we not surprised that Obama is flouting the law AGAIN!

Ahead of Election, Obama Stops Releasing ‘Stimulus’ Reports

Section 1513 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “stimulus”) explicitly states, “In consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Secretary of the Treasury, the Chairperson of the Council of Economic Advisers shall submit quarterly reports to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and House of Representatives that detail the impact of programs funded through covered funds on employment, estimated economic growth, and other key economic indicators.” (The head of the Council of Economic Advisors, currently Alan Krueger, is appointed by the president, confirmed by the Senate, and works within the Executive Office of the President. He is the president’s chief economic adviser.)

Indeed, the old reports that the administration released begin, “As part of the unprecedented accountability and transparency provisions included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) was charged with providing to Congress quarterly reports on the effects of the Recovery Act on overall economic activity, and on employment in particular.”
Section 1513 of the ARRA further specifies, “The first report…shall be submitted not later than 45 days after the end of the first full quarter following the date of enactment of this Act….The last report required to be submitted…shall apply to the quarter in which the [Recovery Accountability and Transparency] Board terminates under section 1530.” Section 1530 declares, “The Board shall terminate on September 30, 2013.”

In other words, the Obama administration is required by law to submit quarterly reports on the “stimulus” through the third quarter of 2013. Yet the administration has apparently found it more convenient to stop after the second quarter of 2011 — more than two years early. Or perhaps it has just decided to put the release of these reports on hold until after the election. Either way, the Obama administration is now in violation of the president’s most prominent piece of legislation this side of Obamacare.
Why would the administration not want to release these reports? Presumably because they have shown what a colossal waste of taxpayer money Obama’s
The $831,000,000,000 economic “stimulus” that President Obama spearheaded and signed into law requires his administration to release quarterly reports on its effects.  But “the most transparent administration in the history of our country” is now four reports behind schedule and has so far not released any reports whatsoever in 2012.  Its most recent quarterly report is for the quarter than ended on June 30, 2011.

Gun Control: Madonna -- Irresponsible Limousine Liberal is what is wrong with the left

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 12:48 PM PDT

They scream about gun control, yet make their living committing faux crimes and using weapons improperly to shock their audiences …
How stupid is Madonna to pull a gun on her audience and pretending to shoot into a crowd?

Madonna Angers Denver Audience By Pretending To Shoot Guns Into Crowd

DENVER (CBS4/AP) — Some Colorado fans are upset after music superstar Madonna used guns during a performance. Madonna started her show Thursday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver with a gun scene, which she has used in previous performances. She was also accused of being more than three hours late to the show.
People took to social media to complain about how they were offended she used guns and violence as part of her show in light of recent events in the state that included a mass shooting at a theater during a Batman movie on July 20 that left 12 people dead. “Really, Madonna? Keep Denver waiting 3 hours, then open with guns? And pretend to shoot people in the front of the theater? And that’s art?” one woman said on Twitter.
Another woman tweeted: “Madonna 3 hours late for Pepsi Center concert with no apology, then proceeds with ‘Bang Bang’ in city plagued with gun violence.”

Weasel words …

Madonna released a statement saying the guns used in the show are “metaphors.” “I do not condone violence or the use of guns,” Madonna said. “Rather they are symbols of wanting to appear strong and wanting to find a way to stop feelings that I find hurtful or damaging. In my case it’s wanting to stop the lies and hypocrisy of the church, the intolerance of many narrow minded cultures and societies I have experienced throughout my life and in some cases the pain I have felt from having my heart broken.”   Madonna Angers Denver Audience By Pretending To Shoot Guns Into Crowd « CBS Denver>

I call bullshit …
Enough with the artistic psycho-babble trying to justify an action that deliberately uses guns to attract media attention. Madonna is aging and her unattractive, shocking and pathetic attempts to generate media attention are wearing thin. Madonna is part of the liberal left culture that rails about gun control and the deaths of children, but do everything in their power to denigrate the NRA and its gun safety message. Enough with the liberal hypocrisy.
And the type of good news that is almost never reported …

12-Year-Old Girl Shoots Intruder During Home Invasion In Bryan County
BRYAN COUNTY, Oklahoma - A 12-year-old girl took matters into her own hands during a home invasion in southeast Oklahoma.
It happened on Wednesday when the girl was home alone. She told police a stranger rang the doorbell, then went around to the back door and kicked it in. She called her mom, Debra St. Clair, who told her to get the family gun, hide in a closet and call 911. That was when St. Clair dropped what she doing and raced home. The during that time, the intruder made his way through the house. St. Clair's daughter told deputies the man came into the room where she was hiding and began to open up the closet door. That was when the 12-year-old had to make a life-saving decision. "And what we understand right now, he was turning the doorknob when she fired through the door," said the Bryan County Undersheriff Ken Golden.
The bullet hit the intruder, who deputies identified as 32-year-old Stacey Jones. He took off but did not get far before officers took him down. "He was sitting down, the policemen had him apprehended at the end of the block. All I saw was some blood coming down his back. I'm not exactly sure where his injury was, but I saw some blood there," explained St. Clair. Jones was taken to a Texas hospital by helicopter after the incident. An investigator on the case said Jones was released from the hospital Thursday and extradited to the Bryan County Jail.
The 12-year-old girl was not injured during the ordeal. <Source>

Bottom line …
Here you have examples of a misbehaved adult and a well-behaved (and obviously gun-trained) little girl who used a gun as a self defense force multiplier. It remains to be seen if the perpetrator is going to find a liberal lawyer to sue the little girl and her family for violating his “civil rights.”
As for Madonna, perhaps she should be charged with brandishing a weapon in public (according to liberal dictums) and sentenced to an NRA gun safety program. About her bad taste, nothing can cure that.
