Mouthing off

Well, it has been some weekend. It was too much for me to write about. Before I forget, Reggie, I saw your comment and I answered it. Evidently I didn't answer in right spot as I know you didn't get it. I will try again.
Anyhow, it is very easy to blame someone. Like Sarah Palin, of course! I really don't blame Sarah Palin for this shooting. But - she took that map off of her website as soon as this shooting happened so she must have thought about it. She does incite people and there are a lot of crazies in this country. Never realized that these politicos get threatened all the time. Not being a crazy myself, I guess I never thought that people are like that! But when a Michelle Bachmann tells the people in her small districk in MN - "We must be armed and dangerous" - don't you think that is a little much? Would that not get people all excited and believe her? They must believe in her, as she was re-elected. God only knows why!!! Anyway, back to AZ. As I said, it is easy to blame someone - and I do! I blame the Gov. Jan Brewer for the weakest gun laws in the country. I do know people can buy guns anywhere and in AZ it is very easy to get guns over the border in Mexico. However, she just signed a law that you can have a gun in a bar and a restaurant. Also, a law that says you don't need a permit!!!! And a law that says if you are over 21 you don't need to be checked out to buy a gun! The shooter bought the ammunition at Wal-Mart for God's sake!!!! He went to one Wal-Mart and was turned down as he was acting somewhat nutty so he went to another one and bought his ammo. He had a clip that held 33 rounds!!!! Can you believe that? I heard someone today from the Brady Group that said that they aren't selling those clips anymore. Well, maybe someone should tell them at Wal-Mart. I knew there was another reason I don't shop at Wal-Mart!!!
This whole thing makes me sick. I keep thinking of that little girl, 9 years old. She was born on 9/11/01 and is written up in a book that list someone born on that date in each state. Her grandfather is Dallas Greene - former mgr of the Phila. Phillies when they won the Nat'l League Championship. She was a beautiful child and was just elected to the student council at her school, was interested in politics and wanted to meet a real politician. It is tragic! The whole thing is tragic. We have so much hatred in this country. Since we have elected a Black President (whom I think is great, I love him and his beautiful family) the racists have gone nuts!!!! We have a Congressman in CA. Orange County, wealthy Republican area, his name is Darryl Issa. Some yrs back he started a campaign to get rid of our Democratic Governor, Grey Davis and it worked. Then we ended up w/Schwartzenegger who, during a debate before the primary, said to a man, "You sign the back of a check - I sign the front". What an ass!!!! Anyhow, now this Issa is back again, on a witch hunt, trying to get rid of Pres. Obama. He is going on Fox (naturally!) saying that Pres. Obama is the most corrupt president we have ever had (What happened to Bush? - where was Issa from 2000 to 2008?) and this is the most corrupt administration we have ever had (I repeat - where was Issa from 2000 to 2008?) We have Limbaugh spewing filth about Obama, Beck who is really insane, Sarah Palin (I said it before - I will say it again - I will never forgive John McCain for introducing her to the country), Michelle Backmann, Sharron Angle (thank God she didn't get elected!)
and the pot has been boiling and boiling and boiling and then we have this tragic killing in Arizona! Absolutely nonsensical
(did I spell that right?) and insane!!!! We must just pray for Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and hope she recovers and recovers fully. By the way, the Tea Partiers are complaining that they are being blamed and this killer is not a member of any tea party group. Well, they are finding out all kinds of stuff about him and it seems that he had some connection to them, but I really can't write about it as I don't know how or why or when. I will close now as this is just taking too much out of me!
