Liberals who cling to their guns
So why is it liberals abhor the right to bear arms unless it concerns their right to bear arms? Why is it liberals ridicule the idea of an armed guard protecting the children of others but don’t give it a second thought when it comes to the protection of their own families? Because liberals believe that if only the world was as wonderful as they are there would be no problems. They see themselves as being in possession of enlightened, progressive virtue and that gun laws should be used to keep arms out of the hands of uncivilized, uncouth conservatives or anyone else who has the temerity not to share their worldview. It is the same sort of thinking that allows liberals to own SUVs, send their children to private schools, and obtain waivers from Obamacare without batting an eyelash.
On a personal note, I do not own a gun nor do I plan to purchase one. Nevertheless, I respect the rights of other Americans to make their own choices when it comes to protecting themselves and their families. I say this because I know most Americans are not Jared Lee Loughner, James Eagan Holmes, Wade Michael Page, or Adam Lanza. As such, the federal government and the mainstream media should not treat us as if we are.

There is the Party, the Party members, and everyone else.
Guess which groups libs see themselves belonging to.

God damn the hypocrites into oblivion, every one of them.
Michael Moore is a ‘fine’ example too.

May all the heads of the tyrannical thugs split in two, and may I see their brains splatter all over. It w/b the funniest thing to witness.

They need their security because they go out of their way to be as obnoxious, self serving, sanctimonious, judgmental and provocative as possible.
They would never speak to somebody as they do from the safety of their fortified studios if that person was close enough to slap them.
Calling somebody a Teabagging racist is easy when you never have to do it in person or unsecured.
Let Chris Matthews or that f-n tool Toure walk into a bar and get in somebody’s face like they do on TV.
Let Lawrence O’Donnell challenge a Romney son to a fight in person.
They would pee their pants without their security.

Same goes for the trolls that infest this place. If they ever dared to say a fraction of what they say around here to our faces, their voices would warble like prepubescent girls, they’d be standing at least ten feet from us, and they’d make sure they had an unobstructed path to the door.

My favorite “do as I say, not as I do” moment is when anti-SUV Chevy Chase had a spokesperson justify Chase’s use of an SUV on the grounds that he and his family owned horses.
The attitude is that we, of course, are special, dahling. It’s the rest of you mugs who have to change your behavior.

Not entirely. Maxine Waters and Michele Obama were saying that guns are fine in conservative country but a horrible idea in the hands of Obama’s strongest supporters, such as Maxine Waters’ constituents.

Brains?

Because they fancy themselves the Elite. They assume they were born with a better brain therefor they get to rule over us. Straight outta Karl Marx’s play book. They hate the Bill of Rights and the idea that ‘All men are created equal’ hence why they were the KKK and supports or Jim Crow laws.

And people thought we were crazy when we were talking about all the Supreme Court nominations that Obama will be able to make…

It’s simple, really. The reason lefties can’t possibly be hypocrites is because they have absolutely no standards at all.

Bingo!
This. This is also why the TSA is such an abomination – it treats us all as criminals, until proven otherwise. Then it repeats the process on the return trip.
