anti usa self styled experts on the usa claim palin and tea party responsible for az shooting.jerks!

Good afternoon BMEWS.

Some interesting stuff. Hell, it’s all interesting to me.
First of all, I’m not going to post the story about the wanker who shot the congresswoman.  I imagine by now you folks at home are seeing it all on TV over and over and over again. And the talking heads, and the victim photos.  I also imagine there are now new calls for strict gun control.
So no.  I’m not gonna post the article that’s in ALL the papers here.  But I will post this line from the Mail on line.

Nation with a history of shocking gun massacres

The Tucson massacre is the latest in a series of shooting massacres in America.

That’s how they see us folks. Not all to be sure. Not all.  But very many sad to say.

I had thought of just posting some of the comments readers are leaving on the Mail site.  Changed my mind about that tho. Not I confess out of consideration for you. But out of selfish thinking on my part cos if I posted those damned comments here, it would mean I’d get frustrated and pissed off every time I had to come back or post something new and scroll and then see again.  I have no idea where some people are getting facts and figures. One person claimed there were 30,000 deaths a year in the USA from the use of guns.  When I wrote in and asked for a source for that figure, I got 20 red arrows for my trouble.
Here’s what I said.

May I please say that as an American (living here temporarily), it is not the business of foreigners to lecture us on our possession of weapons, which are mainly held for hunting, shooting sport and self defense. The last because the police can’t. As a former resident of Tucson I can assure readers that nobody anywhere in Az. can walk into a supermarket and buy a gun. The statement made by a supposed insider is absolutely false. Also please consider that many have guns illegally. And that’s true in the UK as well although the numbers are less because so is the population. Fact is, most Americans do not own guns. But let one deranged nut case like this commit such an outrageous act, and suddenly it’s the wild west. Well, it isn’t. And I’d like to know the source of those huge numbers of deaths by gun in the USA posted here. I question those numbers. But regardless, it is not the business of anyone else anyway. Not as long as we remain sovereign, unlike some.

Another poster said that the media in the USA were censored. So I asked for the source of the posters info.
That earned me 18 red arrows.

Well, as I said, I’m not posting their comments but here’s the link to the story. Scroll down and read the comments of the uninformed and mostly anti-American hand wringers and be prepared to get very pissed off. Maybe some of you will post comments of your own but be warned, they’re very nannyish and so really personal insulting remarks made to posters won’t get through.

Oh ... btw.  They’re also calling for Sarah Palin’s head and The Tea Party (a terrorist organization says one) and the American right.  They’re bringing up the fact that Palin had cross-hairs on states and people and so deduced from that, that she and the TP were encouraging what happened in AZ.  These experts on America and American expressions don’t understand the term having someone or something in the cross-hairs, does not mean we are suggesting they be shot.
Not always anyway.  Here’s the maddening link.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
