Liberals frustrated on gun, Guantanamo issues

Reality is like kryptonite to the liberal mind.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Frustrated liberals are asking why a Democratic-controlled Congress and White House can't manage to close the Guantanamo prison or keep new gun-rights laws from passing.

After all, President Barack Obama pledged to shut down the military detention center on Cuba for suspected terrorists. And Democratic control of the government would suggest that any gun legislation leads to tighter controls on weapons, not expanded use.

ha ha... he fooled you too, peaceniks. Sucks when they lie to ya, doesn't it. "But he promised..." ha ha ha haaa!!!

"We'll probably end up passing more gun bills" that expand owners' rights "than we did during the Republican administration," said Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., a leading gun control advocate. "That is what surprises me."She placed less blame on the White House than on ordinary Americans and advocacy groups that are consistently outflanked by gun owners' groups, especially the National Rifle Association.
"Until the American people say enough is enough, and get active in it," Democratic control of Congress and the White House will not be enough to turn the tide, said McCarthy, whose husband was killed by a gunman in 1993.

Maybe people are getiing wise to the fact that people's rights are more important than personal crusades. The gun didn't kill your husband, Mrs. McCarthy. A deranged lunatic did. If he had stabbed your husband to death, Mrs. McCarthy... would you push to ban Knives?

The Senate voted 90-6 to join the House in blocking the transfer of any prisoners from Guantanamo. Harsh treatment and indefinite detention of suspects there have sparked worldwide criticisms of the U.S. government and helped al-Qaida recruit volunteers, said Obama, who pledges to close the prison early next year. Lawmakers say they want more details on where detainees will be sent.

Somebody realized that these cupcakes really are a danger. Duh! How about we keep them in Gitmo! They say keeping Gitmo open only serves as a recruiting tool for al-Q. Nonsense. Letting our enemy know that they will be treated with kid gloves and showered with legal rights, they'll be more than ready to sign up. It's easy! Go blow something up, they'll ask you a few questions... they can't touch you, your ACLU lawyer shouts racism, and they let you go! Perfect! What a recruitment tool!!!

Also Wednesday, the House voted overwhelmingly to join the Senate in letting people carry loaded guns in national parks and wildlife refuges. More than 100 House Democrats and 174 Republicans voted for the gun measure, which was attached to an Obama-backed bill imposing new restrictions on credit card companies.

Now maybe an armed, law-abiding citizen can stop a deranged lunatic like the one who killed Mrs McCarthy's husband. I still find it amazing how they can tack a gun bill on a credit card bill. Although funnier still, There's nothing in the Constitution that gives the government any power to a) regulate Credit Card companies and b) abridge the rights of all americans to keep and bear arms.
