Liberal hypocrisy

There was a shooting at the D.C. Navy Yard recently. Before the bodies could be counted, our media and liberal politicians began the typical gun control talk.

Even President Obama demonstrated his lack of character when he acknowledged the shooting and then launched into a tirade against some who are concerned about federal spending. What a difference from the President Obama who asked the nation to be more civil after the shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.

It is another example of liberal hypocrisy. They merely wish to silence their opponents so liberals can continue to assault their opponents’ character.

The Navy Yard shooter was a troubled man who suffered from psychosis, multiple issues with law enforcement and a deteriorating mind. He was receiving treatment from the Veterans Affairs system, but still managed to pass background checks, be given security clearance and had free access to the base.

Our government is incapable of policing its own employees and contractors. Our government constantly fails to execute the most simple management duties. Yet liberals want to tell us that expanded background checks, bans and taxes on law abiding citizens will protect us from armed lunatics. They can’t even protect their own.
