They say that lightening never strikes twice in the same place. Not true. It does if you stand high atop a cliffs edge with a lightning rod above your head during a thunderstorm. In fact in the unlikely event you survive the first strike itll keep right on striking until you climb down.
So-called gun-free zones" are lightning rods for mass murder. Its time we climbed down from cliffs edge.
This week America mourns yet another needless and preventable mass shooting at Fort Hood Texas. When will gun-grabbing liberals learn?
In a blunt and provocatively titled though well-reasoned post submitted shortly after Wednesdays shooting Gateway Pundits Jim Hoft charged: Obama Is Responsible for Latest Fort Hood Murders Still a Gun-Free Zone."
Wrote Hoft:
In 2009 Islamist killer Nidal Malik Hasan a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others at Fort Hood Texas. Fort Hood was a gun-free zone.
Hasan reportedly screamed Allahu Akbar! as he committed his mass murder. …
Barack Obama termed this Islamic terrorist attack workplace violence. Complete lunacy.
After the first mass killing nothing changed. Fort Hood is still a gun-free zone. President Bill Clintons gun-free policies are still in place.
Today there was another mass shooting at Fort Hood. Soldiers were told to take cover and hide like cowards as a crazed gunman shot at least 14 Americans on base. The shooter Ivan Lopez then shot himself in the head.
These deaths are the result of failed policies. These deaths are the result of a dangerous gun free zone policy.
The Obama administration is responsible for this mass shooting. They witnessed this before. They didnt learn a thing. Gun-free zones are death zones" concluded Hoft.
Of course no one but Ivan Lopez is responsible for his own criminally horrific actions. Still this Obama administration is likewise responsible for its own criminally horrific incompetence.
By maintaining his demonstrably failed gun-free zone" policy at Fort Hood (anywhere for that matter) Obama may as well have beaconed: Hey would-be mass murderers weve still got some unarmed soldiers here. Come and finish em off!"
This president is undeniably culpable. His reckless insistence upon preserving this obtuse liberal but I repeat myself gun-grabbing policy rendered defenseless once again the fine servicemen and women of Fort Hood. It kept in place the same mass-murder-rich environment in which Nidal Malik Hasan committed the first Fort Hood fish-in-a-barrel" soldier hunt.
And the only people surprised are you gun-control nutters.
Heres the thing about liberalism which is really cultural Marxism euphemistically tagged progressivism": Its never worked and it never will. It cant. Its a material impossibility. Progressivism" can no more work than can one answer a nonsense question like How big is blue?" As with all similar such humanistic efforts to achieve a man-made earthly utopia progressivism" is a hopeless non-starter.
Why? Because progressivism" is utterly detached from reality. Theres truth and then theres progressivism." Central to every single progressive" policy without exception is the fatally flawed denial of the existence of sin of mans fallen nature. Theres also a stupidly stubborn refusal to acknowledge the reality of moral absolutes. Progressivism" is built upon a utopian relativist house of cards; and when that house comes crashing down the results are often deadly.
On Wednesday America witnessed liberalisms deadly results first hand. A public policy that intentionally disarms American citizens much less American soldiers is a policy that creates a pond full of sitting ducks; this whether we have a terrorist behind the trigger or a government with designs on tyranny.
Notice a trend here? What do Sandy Hook Elementary Aurora Colorados Century 16 theatre Columbine Fort Hood No. 1 and Fort Hood No. 2 all have in common? Theyre all gun-free zones."
Oh that rather than gun-free zone" each of these terror sites had a sign reading: Staff heavily armed and trained. Any attempts to harm those herein will be met with deadly force."
Might some of those beautiful souls have yet died before one or more well-armed good guys could take out the well-armed bad guys? Perhaps. But how many precious lives could have been saved?
Albert Einstein famously quipped that the definition of insanity" is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." In that sense progressives" are insane.
Or are they? Crazy like a fox" maybe?
Either way theyre certainly no Einsteins.
Even so Ill admit that many progressives" are generally well-meaning and decent people. I even have a handful of progressive" friends whove yet to see the light. I love em but they just want what they cant have at least not until that glorious last trumpet.
They want heaven on earth.
Its not for a lack of sincerity that progressives" are destroying America.
Its for a failure to grasp reality.
