Democrat Rep: Handgun Ban is Next

After the assault weapons ban, handguns are next.  That’s not just coming from some zany, paranoid, right wing kook like me. No, that’s coming from a Democrat crypto-fascist representative from Illinois. Don’t believe me? See for yourself:

Jason Mattera: “The assault weapons ban is only just the beginning?”

Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky (IL): ”Oh absolutely, I’m against handguns…”

And they go on.

Jason Mattera: “We’ll never get a handgun ban with the Second Amendment as stated.”

Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky (IL): “I don’t know, I don’t know that we can’t… I don’t think it’s precluded”

(h/t BlackQuillAndInk, Jason Mattera)

Exactly what Constitution did Rep. Jan Schakowsky swear an oath to protect?

She must be one of the benighted cafeteria constitutionalists who convinced herself that it’s her duty to pick and choose things in the Constitution that she will protect and things that she will not.  If it’s against her agenda, against her statolatry, then it’s verboten (note the deliberate use of an etymologically origined Deutsch word there) and must be removed, changed or corrected.

What a twisted view, but she’s not alone. Really.  This apple doesn’t fall from the marital bed.

It’s the “rules for thee and not for me” credo and it takes one to know one and it looks like she knows one, and is married to one.  Rules and laws, like the constitution, only apply when they are convenient is the rule of thumb to the members of this credo cult.  The ends justify the means right? “Yes,” answers Democrat Rep. Schakowsky and “Yes indeed,” answers her criminal Big Government lobbyist husband Robert Creamer.

From Wikipedia (I know it’s always not the best source, but this particular entry has many worthy citations):

On March 11, 2004, Schakowsky’s husband, lobbyist Robert Creamer, the executive director of the Illinois Public Action Fund, was indicted in federal court on 16 counts of bank fraud involving three alleged check-kiting schemes in the mid-1990s, leading several banks to experience shortfalls of at least $2.3 million.[19] In August 2005, Creamer pleaded guilty to one count of failure to collect withholding tax, and bank fraud for writing checks with insufficient funds. All of the money was repaid. Schakowsky was not accused of any wrongdoing.[20] Schakowsky served on the organization’s board during the time the crimes occurred,[21] and Schakowsky signed the IRS filings along with her husband.[22] U.S. District Judge James B. Moran noted no one suffered “out of pocket losses,” and Creamer acted not out of greed but in an effort to keep his community action group going without cutting programs, though Creamer paid his own $100,000 salary with fraudulently obtained funds.[23] On April 5, 2006, Creamer was sentenced to five months in prison and 11 months of house arrest.[24] Creamer served his five-month incarceration at the Federal Correction Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana and was released on November 3, 2006.[25]

It’s rules shmools in the Schakowsky Creamer household; they need to work their agenda regardless.  If a law is in the way, ignore it.

I suppose their marriage vows follow the same path and they take their vows as seriously as she takes her oath and he takes to following the law, apocryphal when concerning the inconvenient.  It goes something like this:

I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life when I feel like it.

Such a foundation of unshakable moral virtue is about as solid as the decayed, weed riven, Victorian porn slums in Democratopia Metro Detroilet. Sure it’s standing but barely and can only support the occasional bawdy transaction between a limited set of participants. Pretty soon it will not support even that.  We tolerate such morally and ethically devoid miscreants to occupy government positions at our own peril.  And peril will surely follow.
