Contrast!

Many have pointed out the stark difference between the recent mall shooting in NE and next day's short-lived church shooting in CO. In the later case, an armed citizen (the media insists on falsely labeling her a "security guard," because they can't tolerate the notion of non-government-employees with guns) stepped up to the plate and did what had to be done at the critical moment. She drew her concealed pistol, courageously confronted the VCA, and shot him to death when it needed to be. Had she not, there is little doubt many more church-goers would have been murdered that day. Curiously, in the same area there were several uniformed security guards, who, at the pivotal moment, apparently found something else to do.

Most government officials correctly believe they were elected in order to " serve." A contemptible few believe they were elected in order to"rule." It is the later group who invariably wax paranoid and believe they are personally threatened when "the ruled" own and carry guns, an it is they who prefer masses of murdered victims to heroes audaciously stepping forward and doing their duty as citizens, and, not surprisingly, it is they who unfailingly insist the "the ruled" never be allowed to do anything for themselves. To them, " the ruled" ARE victims, by definition!

Some states with concealed-carry laws have declared churches "gun-free zones. " Ohio is an example. Today, in view of the CO incident, representatives in OH are being flooded with angry calls demanding that proscription be lifted! I suspect they're getting an ear-full from many who apparently haven't gotten the word that they are supposed to think of themselves as "good, little victims!"

News from France

Excellent analysis from a friend in France:

"We have riots again! Same bad guys (Muslim 'youths'). Same, tired excuse ('oppression'). However, one important thing has changed: we now have a president, Sarkozy, who is not the dithering, leftist push-over that we'reso accustomed to over here.

He has boldly implemented long-overdue, conservative reforms, and we have seen strikes and demonstrations as a result, the time-honored French way of getting presidents to back down. To everyone's surprise, this president did NOT back down, so riots were next!

Leftists and Muslim anarchists here unite in their preference for a weak, confused, and crooked heads of state who will allow rampant corruption to continue and look the other way as radical Islamics continue to forge an independent state, within France.

Sarkozy is not giving an inch! But, only time will tell. We have our fingers crossed!"

Comment: France is typical of so much of Western Europe. Islamic imperialists look upon them (and us) as fat, confused, indecisive, and ripefor overthrow. Unfortunately, their analysis is largely correct!

"We have met the enemy, and they are right!"
