Recent events have sort of dismayed me.Massacres of children are bad enough,but when a significant portion of the media,conglomerates,and just ordinary people in general dismiss and even worse downright downplay or justify this shameful act in order to keep their guns(weapons most of the American gun owners don't even legally own),I wonder if America's new sanity is insanity!
America tends to glorify violence and it's victims.The teacher gunned down at Sandy Hook being exemplified as a candidate for Time's Person Of The Year is a prime example.The shooter's bloody body count is another example of how we depersonalized these deaths and give them a sporting score quality(You just don't see abortion or drunk driver victims ever called heroes).
Bruce Willis',"Yippie-Kai-Yay, Motherfucker!"seems to be the new slogan for all of America and it's love of over the top violence.
The idea that even mentioning gun restrictions as an evil empire take away of our American freedoms-while a brilliant motif for the NRA and gun lover's everywhere-baffles our dialogue and makes the gradual dismissal of weapons of war deaths our shame.Thus-in my opinion- encouraging future American terrorists to multiply and exemplify the nasty business of bigger and more horrific body counts in the future.
The disingenuous NRA and their ilk claim the Bill Of Rights 2nd Amendment as their Constitutional right to bare arms.They give this as the reason to ignore gun deaths:Because it's our Constitution guarantee.
But another Constitutional Amendment has been repealed.It's the 18th Amendment.The reason most people give for it's repeal is the violence and crime that was associated with it.
The NRA and their supporters claim that guns don't kill:people do.And,they are correct.Guns are used by killers/terrorists because they are the quickest most efficient means of killing.Why else would you use a gun?
But the NRA-again in my opinion-doesn't give a hoot about American law.They blame-through their back door sources-these very same massacres on the government.Though these allegations have generally been proven false, the proof is in the pudding,the NRA doesn't care one iota what our government or anyone else thinks.Everyone and thing else is at fault except for the guns.
Though,to be truthful,the glorification of weapons of mass destruction is not just a NRA thing.Hollywood,Madison Avenue-in fact,all forms of our American culture-kneel down and worship the false god that is our guns.What's granny afraid of?Absolutely nothing!Come out with guns a blazing.The only difference in the body count between the good guys and the bad guys in most Tv shows,books and movies is that the good guy's body count is usually higher.
The truth to the saying,"That they will only get my guns when they pry them from my cold dead fingers," has only ever been applied in the U.S. A. to these mass murdering American terrorists after they are found still holding onto their guns with their suicide bullet ridden bodies.
In truth,this drama over president Obama taking away hard working gun loving America's weapons can almost be seen as a ploy by both the NRA & the president as a way to sell more and more guns.Under our current president gun sales are way way up!
Except for the fact the the American public is being severely hoodwinked into higher and higher gun sales via the fear tactic of loss of Constitutional guarantees,it appears that just like under the last administration,President Obama doesn't appear to care how many Constitutional rights are waved in the vast conspiracy to curtail our civil rights so that imperialist corporations can have their way with us.
Illegal wiretaps,unjust wars,lost of freedom of speech and press.No one seems to care.Our Constitutional rights wave in the breeze and are one by one silenced with no one protesting the fact that they are gone.
In fact,media voices proclaim the justness of these actions as pro-American.
Most media sources quote our lack of fearing God for this apparent downfall and decay of the American ideal.Abortion,gay rights.Yet,here we are arguing against actions that could save further American children the sorrow of being victims of gun violence.
But how Jesus is this fondness of guns?Would Jesus shoot a criminal intruder in his house,or would he rather if they asked for his coat,give them his over coat as well?Would he point a .45 automatic at the criminal,or would he turn the other cheek?Would Jesus depend on the Constitution for deliverance or would he give to Caesar what was Caesar's,and give to God what was God's?Would Jesus come out guns a blazing against his enemies,or would he die passively on the cross?
America!Don't cry,Lord!Lord! For I don't think He knows thee!
I have spoken of this before.America is God's country.That is why we must have absolute freedom of religion.Americans must be free to believe (or not believe) as it so chooses.
Yet,our media,the whipping boy of the giant international conglomerates,teaches us that justice is only handed out by the end of a gun!That freedom isn't free.
That violence is the end all of all end alls just doesn't make Christian sense.It's insane to think otherwise.
Yep,it's the new America.The new sane is insanity.
