Oh, but they’re still against bringing lighters and box cutters on a plane! See?
From Chris Matthews’ Hardball show last night talking with John Velleco of Gun Owners of America:
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
According to the “experts of 9/12/01″ and to guys like Velleco, they have no problem with anyone in our country (legal or not) carrying a concealed weapon (legal or not):
On any airplane
At a presidential event
At a Congressional event
A daycare
A park
All office buildings
All schools of all levels
At all the Banks
Yes, that’s right. The day after 9/11/01 Americans were terrified of the idea that people used our laws (it wasn’t against the law to bring a box cutter on an airplane in a carry-on bag) to hurt us on our soil. We all felt safe the morning of 9/11/01 before the attacks occurred because we had good laws in place and we trusted the intentions of others to not overstep that trust. Now the 9/12 morons are saying that after 9/11/01, we should trust all people because all people would never just start shooting other people just for the sheer hell of it! Or worse. The 9/12 morons think if 9,000 people out of 10,000 showed up to a presidential event packing heat, we can trust the intentions of those 9,000 people to not shoot each other or to not assassinate our current great President! See?
It’s all over. Things are back to before 9/11/01 and you didn’t even know it. We are trustworthy once again. Yeah, yeah, so when you get on airplane and 35 people are carrying semi-automatic rifles…..don’t panic! It’s fine. We can trust them especially after 9/11/01 according to the gun nuts and those who support Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project! Spit. President Obama is safe with them around. Spit again.
Remember when George Bush was a scaredy cat and didn’t allow anyone to get near him especially anyone with a gun? I bet the NRA and other gun enthusiasts were livid with him for not supporting gun rights! Oh wait. No they weren’t. They didn’t want George Bush to die so no reason to show up with a gun to threaten him with, see?
Here are the nine 9/12 Project Prinicples (with what I feel is the true meaning of each one in parenthesis):
1. America is good. (ONLY WHEN THERE’S A WHITE REPUBLICAN LEADING IT!)
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life. (POPPYCOCK! GAWD WOULD BE LIVID WITH THESE PEOPLE TODAY!)
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. (WILL NEVER HAPPEN! WE’RE HABITUAL LIARS!)
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government. (WE DIDN’T CARE WHAT GEORGE BUSH TOLD US TO DO FOR 8 YEARS THOUGH!)
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. (WE IGNORED GEORGE BUSH BREAKING & REDEFINING OUR LAWS BECAUSE HE’S A WHITE REPUBLICAN!)
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. (NO EQUAL RIGHTS MEANS YOU HATE A FREE COUNTRY!)
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. (I HATE ALL AMERICANS EXCEPT THE PASTY WHITE RICH ONES!)
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. (IT’S ALSO OKAY FOR US TO KILL PRESIDENT OBAMA BECAUSE OF HIS SKIN COLOR)
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. (I DON’T WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO DELIVER MY MAIL ANYMORE! START CHARGING ME $100/MONTH INSTEAD BY SOME GUY NAMED “GUIDO”!)








My biggest concern is that a pack of gun-totin’ racists coming to a
presidential event will so distract the Secret Service that a real
assassin will slip in while the others give cover. I so hope Obama
will make it through 8 years. Even though most of the nation
grieved in 1963 for JFK, there were still some right-wingers
jumping for joy.
Grant quite a few atill are because they know kennedy was getting
the US out of Vietnam and that would have changed the course of the
nation, the republican’ts would have been undercut then like they
are now,
Republican’ts the party of corruption and do nothing
constructive as it has always been.
We’re all afraid of that happening, Grant. How anyone after 8 years of George Bush can say today that it’s okay to bring a gun to a presidential forum or on a plane is just insanity! Gawd. Makes me so angry and scared once again for my country. The right wingers have always made it a dangerous place because they don’t give a shit about it or anyone but themselves in it!
Exactly right, Clif. The republiCONS don’t like change or progress. Scared shitless of it.
Uh oh. Travel Guy Arthur Frommer won’t even go to Arizona because of all the gun-toting right wing lunatics in the state:

He says it’s a ‘threat to the future of our democracy’. He’s right!
