Seconds after the awful events at Sandy Hook; Democrats, Barack Obama, and the media assured America that their immediate exploitation of the tragedy wasn't only about gun grabbing. Oh no, they assured us, this was going to be an all-of-the-above national debate. Furthermore, Vice President Biden's commission would be an all-of-the-above look everything, including the entertainment culture.
Do you remember that? I realize a
week's a lifetime in politics, but do you remember the news media just
last week reporting about how Biden was meeting with video game
designers and Hollywood to discuss the effect of Hollywood's love affair
with violence on our culture? Do you remember all the way back to last
month, when the media itself was paying lip service to the idea that
Hollywood has some 'splaining to do with respect to the ole'
ultra-violence?
Good times.
Except…
Today, not a word, not a sound, not a peep
came from Biden or Obama about restricting films, video games, or the
entertainment industry in any way whatsoever. What we saw instead
was Obama stand before the nation and announce that all his
"all-of-the-above" rhetoric was nothing but a hustle, a lie, a con, a
sham… Every single proposal enacted by the president today
through executive order and every single one of his legislative
proposals, was aimed at only thing: restricting the Second Amendment.
What we also saw was Hollywood once again receiving the freest, sweetest, plumpest pass since, well, last week, when they did the same with all that rich-paying-their-fair-share nonsense.
Oh, it's a good day to be Harvey
Weinsten. Not only can he can continue to make gajillions off the ole'
ultra-violence, but there are tax incentives to do it with!
It's just a fact that no one --
including the media -- was ever serious about doing anything other than
exploiting a national tragedy as a way to punish the NRA, restrict the
freedoms of gun owners less inclined to vote Democrat, and demonize a
culture of law-abiding, gun owners; most of whom live in states that had
the temerity to vote for someone other than Barack Obama.
Last year in Chicago, more poor black
people were killed by handguns than the total number of those killed in
all of the mass shootings over the last decade. But no one wants to take
handguns off the streets.
This is all about the left's ongoing
culture war against Americans they don't like, and has
absolutely nothing to do with saving lives.
For the record, I'm as opposed to
restricting Hollywood every bit as much as I'm opposed to restricting
law-abiding gun owners. What I'm pointing out here is that Obama and his
media minions wilfully and intentionally lied to us.
That might be nothing new, but it's still worth noting.
