WOW.

What Mr. Gabby Giffords has a bad week…He really has a BAD week.

First, he had to pull his daughter’s dog from a sea lion pup on the beach. No…The sea lion didn’t survive and yes…It WAS all caught on video…

NOW…

Mark Kelly isn’t going to get his gun.

You will remember, just a couple of weeks ago, Mark Kelly was photographed at a Tucson gun store, just a day or so after his holier-than-thou testimony AGAINST buying guns and AFAINST the 2^nd Amendment in Denver, filling out paperwork to purchase a Sig Sauer M400 5.56mm rifle, a semi-auto AR-15 style weapon.

Once THAT image went viral, Mr. Giffords had to quickly walk it back on CNN telling us all that he only did it to prove how easy it was to pass a background check and buy a weapon AND that he would turn it over to the cops as soon as he had it in his possession.

Well, as you may well remember…

Yesterday…The Emperor granted to Pravda and Fox News, a Propaganda Conference.

How nice.

Throughout his telling of lies, The Emperor continually referred to raising the debt ceiling and the Republicans desire NOT to do so, as going to a restaurant and not paying the bill.

Excuse me but…If I didn’t have the money…If YOU didn’t have the money…WE wouldn’t GO to a restaurant for dinner.

At one point, the Emperor actually quoted John Boehner during LAST year’s debt ceiling debate in order to make his point on why there should be no argument about doing it AGAIN.

Ummm…Excuse me AGAIN but…

Back in 2006…The Emperor HIMSELF said…and I quote…

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

I mean if we’re going to bandy about quotes regarding the debt ceiling which is directly relatable to our debt…

To quote the words of Eddie Murphy as he was imitating Richard Prior, “Tell Bill I said have a coke and a smile and shut the &^@$ up.”

What that line was in reference to was a skit wherein Bill Cosby called Eddie Murphy to criticize his comedy style.  Eddie Murphy then recounts a conversation he had with Richard Prior about the subject.

However, the line is just as appropriate when you consider Bill Cosby’s latest comment regarding the Trayvon Martin shooting.  “When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody.”  Let that sink in for a moment.

I am a gun owner as are, I suspect, many of you reading this.  I can say first-hand that my carrying of a gun has never meant I mean to harm somebody or kill somebody.  What it has meant to me was self-defense.  The simple act of carrying a gun gives me peace of mind.  When deployed, I would carry a gun, as would all military members (and some civilians) around me.  Not one person has ever given me pause to think they are intending to kill someone or do someone harm.  In fact, the reason to carry is gun is to prevent harm, or should someone intend to do me or others around me harm, I can answer back with lethal force.
