Hypocritical Hypocrites

After the horrific event in Sandy Hook, CT, on December 14th
the National Rifle Association (NRA) president Wayne LaPierre publicly advocated that there be armed security at every school.

DLP  (Dummycrats, Liberals and Progressives) and the liberal MSM said that he was a, "raving lunatic who is just as dangerous as Adam Lanza." 

Armed school guards and hypocrisy

Apparently, the DLP and MSM have overlooked this:

Barack Hussein Obama's children attend a school where there are 11 armed guards with fully automatic assault rifles:

  Obama's Daughters School Has 11 Armed Guards-Not-Counting-Secret-Service

Yet Obummer remains skeptical/hypocritical:

Obama skeptical NRA proposal guns in schools

and is even tasking Vice President Joe Biden with spearheading the effort:

Biden to tackle gun violence

Oh, but wait a minute.

Is this the SAME Joe Biden, gun-owner:

   Flashback 2008-Biden: don't fool with my Beretta

Maybe Obummer should get ex-pres Bubba Clinton involved.

Ummm wait. There could be a conflict of interest there:

 Flashback: Clinton-Cops in Schools

By John Nolte:

Today, the same elite media who no doubt send their own kids to private schools that employ armed security, just can't stop howling ridicule at the NRA's idea to give every student in America those same protections. Because the NRA's idea is so appealing, as I write this, the media's going overboard, mocking it as bizarre, crazy, and out of touch.

In their zeal to rampage this left-wing agenda, the media has apparently forgotten that back in 2000, on the one-year anniversary of the Columbine shooting (which occurred with an assault weapons ban in place), President Clinton requested $60 million in federal money to fund a fifth round of funding for a program called "COPS in School," a program that does exactly what the NRA is proposing and the media is currently in overdrive mocking....

Hypocrite

1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

 

2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Synonyms: deceiver, dissembler, pretender, pharisee.

 

I do believe that Democrat, Liberal, Progressive, Media could be added to the list of synonyms for Hypocrite.

A Lesson in Irony

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever, to 46 million people.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals."

Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.
This ends today's lesson.

How Low Can You Go

For some low-life @ssh*les, pretty damn low:

Grinch steals Packages For Troops

A Sacramento group that sends out hundreds of Christmas care packages to America's troops serving abroad has fallen victim to a Grinch.

Dec. 17 was the cut-off day for Move America Forward to get 350 care packages to the post office with the guarantee they'd be there by Christmas. As the boxes sat in a trailer Dec. 16, waiting to be shipped the next day, some Christmas ne'er do well broke the trailer's lock and stole 25 of the packages, all of them intended for soldiers in Afghanistan.

Scott Raab, outreach coordinator for Move America Forward, said the contents of the boxes were probably worth around $5,000, but the cost isn't the issue. The care packages were intended to give soldiers a reminder of the comforts of home, he said. And, since the boxes were all individually addressed, there will be 25 soldiers going without this year.

"We pack pretty much everything in there," Raab told ABCnews.com, "deodorant, coffee, candy. But also notes from school kids here at home thanking them for their service, Christmas cards, everything we can."

Raab, who is himself a veteran of the U.S. Navy, said the packages really mean a lot to soldiers serving overseas who miss the creature comforts we take for granted at home.

"This can mean the whole world to these troops. We send packages year-round, but during the holidays it's even more special. And we get some of the packages out to specific soldiers whose family is not able, for whatever reason, to send them anything."

The packages were all clearly marked for military personnel and contain literature about Move America Forward, Raab said, so whoever the culprit is knows precisely who they've stolen from.

Raab is working with various organizations and accepting donations through MoveAmericaForward.org to replace the stolen items and help ensure the soldiers whose packages were stolen get their Christmas gifts, even if they are a few days late.

Though disappointed, Raab said he remains confident his organization will get all the losses covered.

"These people are the definition of a Grinch," he said, "it is disheartening for those of us who worked so hard to get all these Christmas packages together. But we've had an overwhelming response from people wanting to help out and it just shows how much support there is out there for our troops."

  Alex comments:  If you find the thieves send them to Afghanistan for a tour.

Right on.
