Illinois Democrats Move To Tighten Firearm Regulation/Restrictions...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny As the country struggles to understand, and come to grips with random acts of firearm violence by unstable and unbalanced individuals Illinois is already taking action to further regulate firearms. Like the millions of law abiding citizens I am torn between the right to bear firearms and finding the point at which it makes logical sense to restrict that right. In a modern society in which the tools of warfare are advanced beyond what the founders could possibly have envisioned, and the efficiency of modern armies are such that the citizens would stand no reasonable chance against the modern army, does the possession of semiautomatic assault weapons have any real purpose for the homeowner and sportsman? If deemed they do should they not be highly regulated and restricted to HELP reduce the incidents of tragedies like Sandy Hook? I certainly do not have the answers, nor do I believe the anti-gun crowd has the answers eith...
This is old news, but you are right. It bears repeating and repeating and repeating...
ReplyDeleteThat's why I posted this. Of course the hard core rightists will certainly ignore the truth of this. They are not interested in truth, only what they want to hear.
ReplyDeleteI watched from end to end. quite interesting. I long ago jumped off the Limbaugh and Hannity clown train, and I never was on the Beck train (one of the first things I learned about him was his lengthy rant calling for the murder of Michael Moore).
ReplyDeleteI do not recall the particular rant you refer to dmarks, but like all demagogues Beck demagogues it well.
ReplyDeleteBigger pictures, these charlatans bark for the highest bidder. There is a seemingly unlimited supply of dullards who hang in their every scripted word.
I don't think it is off topic, as Beck is one of the pictured stooges.

the transcript reflects the video I have seen.
Interesting link dmarks - thank you for providing it. What this shows, I think, is that Media Matters is a good site to go to for those seeking the truth. As I recall, someone on this board said that those who charge into a conversation saying "this is what I read on Media Matters" look every bit as foolish as those who say "I heard Rush say...". But they don't realize it. Obviously dmarks is with me in disagreeing with this sentiment.
DeleteIt depends on what they are doing. Any such site.... newsbusters, Media Matters, and indeed Rush, etc deserves extreme skepticism, especially in regards to editorials masked as news. Finding anything good in such sites can happen, but it is like finding diamonds in an Arkansas mud pit.
DeleteIn this case, I was familiar with what Beck said, and was thus able to fact check their specific transcript. And it turned out be valid.
What "someone on this board" supposedly said actually has nothing at all to do with Glenn Beck or the others in the actual topic.
Next time, I will just paste the actual transcript. Without mentioning the source. That will be less likely to cause irrelevant excitements.
