I am not surprised by almost anything the GOP the does these days. For many years, I've seen them go farther and farther right. So most of what they do now doesn't surprise me. That's the main reason why I haven't wrote much lately. So what got me writing today? The sheer audacity and stupidity of both the GOP and the NRA.
After the horrific action Monday in Boston, there were of course the the voices in the far right-wing of American politics, in other words the GOP mainstream, that immediately wanted all Muslim interrogated. There were those even farther right that wanted all Arabs in Boston brought to a police station and jailed. And everyone, in every range of politics, wanted to get to the bottom of it and see how the next bomb could be stopped. How many people died in Boston? 3 But then Wednesday afternoon, the Senate voted down a bill would require background checks to buy a gun. Not take any guns away, not making gun trafficking between states illegal. Simple background checks. This bill was in response to 26 people getting shot and killed in an elementary school, Sandy Hook. Does that makes sense to anyone?
3 people get killed in Boston Monday, and the government will move mountains to ensure it won't happen again. 26 people die by a gunman and the Senate does nothing. Hey Senate, you want to try to tell me again why you won't act on guns? Oh, that's right, you're in the NRA's pocket. Actually, this doesn't surprise me. either. But the pure hypocrisy and stupidity of both the NRA and the GOP did get me to write again.
