Why have the Democrats stopped talking about gun control?

Even the newspapers of America must stand to reckon with a new generation of conservatives. It is one thing to decriminalize and tolerate private, adult behavior “contrary to public morals,” but quite another to legally sanction and force acceptance of it. Considering two more of Michael Moore's very bad questions. What will be the next biggest growth industry, on the scale of this century's prior booms of cars, airplanes, communications, pharmaceuticals, technology and finance? A nation whose citizens stop thinking, stop debating, stop caring, refuse to learn or listen, this is a nation that sooner or later will cease to be free. American women are arguably the most privileged of any group in history. But the Kerry-Edwards website makes it sound like women are on the verge of being shipped back to their suburban concentration camps. Anyone in search of a nutshell definition of Democrats can stop hunting. I’ve found it. All it took was a Democratic National Convention speech, broadcast only by C-Span. This week has seen two conventions; the little watched daytime version and the evening, media-drenched confab. The late, great Max Eastman remarked after reading Kuehnelt-Leddihn that "Reading (him) is like going to college and graduate school, all over again." You have to give Kerry’s handlers credit for toning done the hateful rhetoric and putting a happy face on their showcase. Is Barack Obama the herald of a “new kind of politics” or merely yet another voice calling for the same old, racist, urban welfare politics the Democrat Party has promoted for forty years? Few know that Arizona's governor Janet Napolitano, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night, got around Arizona's abortion laws while Attorney General to ensure that a 14-year old girl who was over 6 months pregnant would be sent to Kansas for an abortion. The terrorist threat in some ways is far more dangerous than the Nazis or Japanese during World War II. It is a new form of warfare. We are fighting a global guerilla war, yet we are still fighting and thinking in terms of conventional war. Hersh's latest concocted speculations have resulted in Richard Perle's describing him on CNN as "the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist." Hersh has fallen repeatedly for conmen in the past, why is his yellow journalism allowed to continue unchecked, and in fact be rewarded by the Pulitzer prize and other journalism awards? The fight, whether waged by Americans at the Twin Towers, on the porch of your house in Peoria, or as at present in Afghanistan, in Iraq or by the Israeli in wherever, can not be ended by negotiating it away. Black Republican Vernon Robinson just won the North Carolina Congressional primary by running on the Republican Party platform of traditional American values. With more quietude and character than the equally rapid rise of loud new perversions, there is a broadening presence of moral authority and personal integrity within this youngest generation of Americans. Lacking knowledge or, more precisely, not being conversant enough in some current issue to have arrived at a deeply held position is something of an occupational hazard for political columnists. Is it wise to support a candidate based primarily on a visceral dislike of the other candidate, and why can't Kerry garner positive support? Part of the problem is that Democrats are frankly afraid to promote Kerry for fear they will be asked what Kerry's position is on any particular issue. The UN's attitude is, "Let's not let our own rules get in the way of defaming Israel." If the UN General Assembly cannot pass a resolution on terrorism, what makes anyone think that a resolution on anti-Semitism will see the light of day? If you live in a vacuum long enough, it becomes harder and harder to remember there are people who don't think like you. It is acceptable by the Left to convict a Republican in the court of public opinion without any verifiable proof, but if the person being accused is one of their own – who has even admitted guilt – liberals scream it is not fair and we must wait until they have their day in court. The technophobia that troubled people who were fearful of the use of electricity to light the darkness is with us still. It is called environmentalism. "Educator Sexual Misconduct " is seriously flawed, both in its methodology and in the way researchers defined sexual abuse and misconduct. |
