Shiny Object: headlines should not be about Progressives/Dems calling for Gun Control

Or in the case of the NY Times, an outright call for confiscation of guns.  However, that seems to be the ideological wash of the day (as if removing guns is going to just get rid of Islamic Jihad?) – everything is about the gun and not about the evil “political ideology in a religious wrapper” which is the root cause.  Instead, this is the important question – gun control is just the convenient cover – and should have been on every newspaper above the fold in the country:

“How did an Islamic guy who got an online Pakistani wife from Saudi Arabia and cavorted with people on the FBI’s terror watch list plan all of this without anyone noticing?”

Strangely, there is more outrage from the Left about law abiding folks exercising their Constitutional rights than there is about what the Left’s President Alinsky said at his inauguration in 2008:

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”

– President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09

Knowing that Government failed (i.e., did NOT work, again) in this most important of its Constitutional responsibilities (keeping us safe from foes), the boosters of Big Government (and their theocracy around that thereof) instead loose their barrage of condemnation and ire not on that entity who failed in that responsibility but have shifted the blame to…….the citizens.  Especially those of us that totally disagree with them even though we have had nothing to do with the actions of Islamic Jihad – but, you know, collective guilt and all that.

Gotta love that logic, eh?
