Gun Control Frenzy- Proof Democrats Are The Real Racists
All this frenetic posturing over banning assault weapons and other weapons would be more credible if this concern over the safety of a community included barrios and ghettos. Democrats won't touch that arena because they know that most gun crimes are in cities with the toughest gun control laws. They are also under the aegis of elected Democrats who are continuing the party's disingenuous record of supporting the minority community.
By Alicia Colon
There is no doubt that the Sandy Hook school massacre was an unspeakable tragedy but I doubt seriously that had the murdered children been killed at an inner-city school, Presidential Obama would be holding a conference using children as a dramatic prop for his dictatorial gun control agenda. Nor would there be hysterical politicians calling for tighter gun control laws nor column after column from leftwing writers exploiting the tragedy. The sad truth is that none of these demagogues care one bit about murdered black or Hispanic children unless the perpetrators of these crimes are white.
According to The Chicago reporter, "Since 2008, more than 530 youth have been killed in Chicago with nearly 80 percent of the homicides occurring in 22 African-American or Latino community areas on the city's South, Southwest and West sides." Ho-hum to that say the lackeys in the media who refuse to report Chicago's disgraceful murder rate which is greater than the military deaths in Afghanistan because it's in a city run by Obama's former Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel.
Let's have more gun control legislation, the Democrats essentially say, even though we know it won't stop madmen from slaughtering innocent children because it makes us look like we care. So what if most of the murders occur in cities with the toughest gun laws? Let's trot out the fake letters supposedly written by children terrified of being shot in school. Let's toss away the letters from kids begging for Obama to get jobs for their fathers. Seriously, who believes their tripe anymore? Apparently a lot, because they show up at rallies and cheer Obama's speeches. I'm beginning to think a good portion of the nation has been lobotomized and has lost the ability to reason with any acuity.
Back in 1999, after the Columbine massacre, I wrote a column titled, "Revenge of the Trench Coats is Anything But a Comedy." I reread it recently and was amazed at the similarity between the debate then and now and that nothing has changed since. I may have written about the shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, but the same commentary applies to the Sandy Hook killer, Adam Lanza:
"Attacking the NRA is futile because I really don't think they're the problem. Most members of the NRA practice stringent safety controls. Their weapons are kept secure and are routinely maintained and they monitor their children's safety carefully. Strict gun controls only make it more difficult for ordinary citizens to acquire guns to protect themselves. Criminals have no problem acquiring weapons and disregard any laws imposed. Let's be realistic. Effective gun control will occur only when we quit manufacturing them... Blame is even being placed on the Leonardo DiCaprio film, 'Basketball Diaries,' which contains a dream sequence with similarities to this tragedy. The parents of a school-shooting victim in Kentucky are currently suing producers of this film. Let's look everywhere for reasons before painfully looking inside our home lives.
"Maybe Colorado's rarefied air makes the state too enlightened to consider the simplest explanations but if my son and his friends were dressing in long black trench coats I'd be sure to lock up any weapons I'd have lying around. How can these kids be building pipe bombs in basements without the knowledge of their parents? Were these youths living in a vacuum bereft of quality adult supervision? What on earth was going on in their home lives that drove them to murder and suicide? Why didn't their parents check their children's web page for clues to their madness?
"But how does one explain these tragedies? Is it violence in television and video games? My sons play these games all the times yet they have no interest in guns or mayhem. Is it the prevalence of guns in America? Britain has the toughest gun control laws in the world and yet on March 13, 1996, a lone gunman in Dunblane, Scotland massacred 16 elementary school children and their teacher. Explain that.
"One thing all these horrible incidents have in common is the presence of evil and the absence of love. All the perpetrators felt unloved and resorted to evil solutions."
The majority of Columbine and Sandy Hook victims were white and this fact became fodder for liberals like Michael Moore to exploit white liberal guilt and roll out their anti-gun power play. Moore made a faux documentary 'Bowling for Columbine' filled with lies and distortions and is probably planning one for the Sandy Hook victims of our "savage gun culture". How likely is he to make one about the thousands of young blacks and Hispanics killed every year by other blacks and Hispanics?
All this frenetic posturing over banning assault weapons and other weapons would be more credible if this concern over the safety of a community included barrios and ghettos. Democrats won't touch that arena because they know that most gun crimes are in cities with the toughest gun control laws. They are also under the aegis of elected Democrats who are continuing the party's disingenuous record of supporting the minority community.
Cold hard facts are ignored by virtually every journalist in the mainstream media who refuses to expose the Democratic Party's history of racism. One of the most racist films ever made was D.W. Griffith's, 'Birth of a Nation,' which was also the first movie to be screened in the White House.
Democrat President Woodrow Wilson during a private screening at the White House is reported to have enthusiastically exclaimed: "It's like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all terribly true."
The Wilson administration implemented a policy of racial segregation for federal employees after promising blacks "fair dealing... in advancing the interests of their race in the United States."
The NAACP condemned 'Birth of a Nation' for its racist and "vicious" portrayal of blacks, its proclamation of miscegenation, its pro-Klan stance, and its endorsement of slavery. The film is used to recruit new members of the Ku Klux Klan which was founded by the Democrats during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War.
Today's NAACP apparently ignores American History and has forgotten who really arrested Martin Luther King. Oddly enough this organization is in the pocket of the Democrat Party. Sincere civil rights advocates should instead lend their support to the Congress of Racial Equality (C.O.R.E.) a truly bipartisan champion of all human rights.
I'm still waiting for one Republican politician with the guts to hammer the Democrats with their history and bigotry towards the black community. One that will expose the truth behind those entitlement programs disguised as caring but which are really designed to, as Star Parker wrote, keep blacks on "Uncle Sam's plantation."
I'm also waiting for the end to race-baiting pundits who shout "racist code words" whenever anybody tries to call a spade a spade.
Dream on, Alicia.

NAPOLITANO: The right to shoot tyrants, not deer
The right of the people to keep and bear arms is an extension of the natural right to self-defense and a hallmark of personal sovereignty. It is specifically insulated from governmental interference by the Constitution and has historically been the linchpin of resistance to tyranny. Yet the progressives in both political parties stand ready to use the coercive power of the government to interfere with the exercise of that right by law-abiding persons because of the gross abuse of that right by some crazies in our midst.

Huxley writes to Orwell
| Wrightwood. Cal. 21 October, 1949 Dear Mr. Orwell, It was very kind of you to tell your publishers to send me a copy of your book. It arrived as I was in the midst of a piece of work that required much reading and consulting of references; and since poor sight makes it necessary for me to ration my reading, I had to wait a long time before being able to embark on Nineteen Eighty-Four. Agreeing with all that the critics have written of it, I need not tell you, yet once more, how fine and how profoundly important the book is. May I speak instead of the thing with which the book deals — the ultimate revolution? The first hints of a philosophy of the ultimate revolution — the revolution which lies beyond politics and economics, and which aims at total subversion of the individual's psychology and physiology — are to be found in the Marquis de Sade, who regarded himself as the continuator, the consummator, of Robespierre and Babeuf. The philosophy of the ruling minority in Nineteen Eighty-Four is a sadism which has been carried to its logical conclusion by going beyond sex and denying it. Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. I have had occasion recently to look into the history of animal magnetism and hypnotism, and have been greatly struck by the way in which, for a hundred and fifty years, the world has refused to take serious cognizance of the discoveries of Mesmer, Braid, Esdaile, and the rest. Partly because of the prevailing materialism and partly because of prevailing respectability, nineteenth-century philosophers and men of science were not willing to investigate the odder facts of psychology for practical men, such as politicians, soldiers and policemen, to apply in the field of government. Thanks to the voluntary ignorance of our fathers, the advent of the ultimate revolution was delayed for five or six generations. Another lucky accident was Freud's inability to hypnotize successfully and his consequent disparagement of hypnotism. This delayed the general application of hypnotism to psychiatry for at least forty years. But now psycho-analysis is being combined with hypnosis; and hypnosis has been made easy and indefinitely extensible through the use of barbiturates, which induce a hypnoid and suggestible state in even the most recalcitrant subjects. Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World. The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency. Meanwhile, of course, there may be a large scale biological and atomic war — in which case we shall have nightmares of other and scarcely imaginable kinds. Thank you once again for the book. Yours sincerely, Aldous Huxley |

Evil Adam Lanza
The Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza, was severely mentally ill. His mother, Nancy Lanza, who also was butchered by her son, proved unable to find appropriate treatment. Instead, according to press accounts, she kept him isolated in a windowless basement for long hours each day, where he played violent video games. No one is willing to confront this painful truth: Our culture’s obsession with video games, especially those that glorify mass killing, senseless brutality and bloodlust, is desensitizing our youth.
Adam Lanza was a deranged individual who spent countless hours in a virtual reality slaughtering imaginary human beings. He also lacked necessary medical treatment — including medication. His life was a combustible mix, ready to blow at any moment. The results were predictable and ominous: Someone was going to get hurt. The only question was who — and how many.

Marxist Chicago Teachers Union VP
CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION VP BUSTED PARTICIPATING IN MIDWEST MARXISM CONFERENCE
Sharkey: What our union has done, is work very hard to build a coalition between people who work in the schools and depend on the public schools and the people who go to school, the students and community …And, uhm, I think the fact that we’re dedicated to that is reflected in the fact that there’s been broad support for the things we're trying to do.
Proft: Where do the revolutionary movements fit into that coalition? I understand that a couple weeks ago that you appeared at the Midwest Marxist Conference at Northwestern University to talk about the important support that Chicago teachers get from revolutionary movements’ use of the strike weapon. What’s the alignment with Marxist organizations and revolutionary movements?
Sharkey: Ha, ha, ha, look guys, I mean, thanks...
Proft: That’s a legitimate question. That’s actually just happened. That’s actually true. That’s not McCarthyism.
Sharkey: Thanks for the 1950s McCarthyism.
Proft: It’s not McCarthyism.
Sharkey: Uh, uh, well look it, the, the, the um—every time that unions or social movements have raised issues about what’s fair and what isn’t in base and equality, people have branded them as communist. I, I know…
Proft: Wait a second. You spoke? Did you, or did you not, speak at the Midwest Marxist Conference?
Sharkey: I… [pause] No I did not speak at the Midwest Marxism Conference.
Wolf: You were there though.
Proft: You didn’t?
Wolf: You were there.
Sharkey: Uh.
Wolf: You were there. We’ve got you on video there. Why were you there?
Sharkey: Uh. I’m allowed to attend a Marxist conference, like I’m allowed to [inaudible]…
Wolf: Do you subscribe to their beliefs Mr. Sharkey?
Sharkey: Eh. Look, look guys, I mean, if you want to have me on as part of a, uh, uh, witch-hunt…
Wolf: It’s not a witch-hunt. What do you believe?
Proft: You attended this conference, I’m just asking you what value you derive from this conference and how you see revolutionary movements as so described to connect to the teachers unions, that’s all. It’s not a witch-hunt. It’s something you did.
Sharkey: Ah, uh, look gentlemen; I’m not sure where you’re going with…
At that point Bruce Wolf was forced to cut the interview for a commercial break and thanked Sharkey for the “lucid interview.” (Listen to the full interview here)
During the conference, a heavy focus was placed on the relationships between revolutionary organizations, including the International Socialist Organiation’s intervention in the Chicago Teachers’ strike.
In a breakout session about Marxism and education, Sharkey participated by discussing what he referred to as an interesting dilemma regarding the challenges facing a revolutionary movement isolated by geography and chronology in relation to the lack of other concurrent revolutionary movements:
It’s very hard to have a huge struggle in Chicago over the set of things that are being pushed—education reform, or frankly workplace reform—and not have that struggle taken up anywhere else.
Just in the same way, it’s hard to have you know, if one freight way, has got wages that are $10 an hour higher than their competitors. Guess what! The logic is that high wage place gets smashed down, and that’s the logic of the market. And it’s only when you start to generalize that there could be some alternative to that, that you have the ability to push back…
The magic of struggle is just how easy it is to generalize those lessons. Whether it’s Wisconsin or Occupy or the CTU strike.
Sharkey then went on to joke about class discrimination lawsuits over what is considered appropriate attire for female teachers in schools.
This occurred at the same all-day event where, upon being labeled as “not in solidarity” and recognized as a Breitbart News correspondent, I was forcefully removed by a group of teachers, social workers, and others members of the ISO attending the Marxism conference.
WLS radio’s follow-up coverage of the Chicago Teachers Union’s presence at the conference (they were even selling CTU t-shirts in the foyer) provided some additional light on the collaboration between the ISO and CTU leadership.
That is more than local mainstream media provided; two days later, after Sharkey’s appearance at the Midwest Marxism conference, I attended a protest being led by the CTU, ISO, and many leaders of socialist and communist organizations headquartered in Chicago. While there, I questioned Mr. Sharkey about his participation in the conference and the ISO’s celebration of their coordination with the Chicago Teachers Union during the teachers strike, but Sharkey refused to answer any of my questions.

Syria Executions Video: Rebel Reportedly Films Himself Shooting 10 Priso...
Obama's mercenaries doing the dirty deeds.
Communist Party USA loves Chairman O
"We meet on the heels of an enormous people's victory. It was a long and bitterly contested battle in which the forces of inclusive democracy came out on top. The better angels of the American people spread their wings.
An African American president was reelected to the Presidency, the Democrats unexpectedly strengthened their hand in the Senate and House, new progressive voices, like Elizabeth Warren, are coming to Washington, and victories, including for marriage equality, occurred at the state level."
Communist Party USA is very happy with the re-selection of Chairman Obama, hasta la victoria, siempre !
