The Tsarnaev Brothers are now Progressive Icons

TamarlanJahar

I am still on sabbatical on doing political posts since quite frankly, I could care less about the Republican vs. Democrat show. Both parties are Dhimmis and beholden to Islamic interests. Both are in the business of dividing Americans against each other for the benefits of their Arab Islamic paymasters. The Republican and Democrat Parties are collaborators for their Islamic overlords whom they obey like the good Dhimmis they are. Like the Hezbollah vs. al-Qaeda fight in Syria, I would love for both parties to lose. Sadly Americans are stuck in the 2 Party paradigm and are in denial of the Islamic overlords that pull the strings of both parties. I doubt the majority of Americans will ever wake up to the Republican-Democrat con job.

On a very serious note, Tamarelan Tsarnave is now joining his brother in becoming a Progressive icon. NY’s Muslim Brotherhood supporting Mayor Mike Bloomberg has a Gun Control organization called Mayors Against Illegal Guns. They organized a rally in Concord New Hampshire to protest Sen. Kelly Ayote’s vote against the Toomey-Manchin bill. They were  counter protested by Gun Owners and there was even an altercation. A member of the  anti-Gun group then began to read the list of victims from “gun violence” killed since the Sandyhook massacre. One of the names mentioned, was Chechen terrorist Tamarlan Tsarnaev.

The event had people supporting the Mayors Against Illegal Guns movement, founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, reading the names of those “killed with guns” since the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary outside their “No More Names” bus.

[….]

The presence of the national gun control group in front of the state Capitol Tuesday night prompted numerous shouts from gun rights supporters. While there were about 40 No More Names supporters, there were at least 60 gun rights supporters at the rally.

“I think this is a joke,” said Tony Mayfield of Hillsborough, who brought his AR-15 rifle and Sig Sauer T39 handgun to the rally. “We have, for all intents and purposes, a corporation from out of state doing this little publicity stunt here.”

Rally organizers, whose bus had Texas license plates, refused to speak to a New Hampshire Union Leader reporter and referred him to the organization’s national headquarters.

Some of the loudest shouts came when a reader spoke the name of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects who was killed by police during a gunfight.

“He’s a terrorist,” several protesters shouted.

Its bad enough that Jahar Tsarnaev has become a icon for the Hipster movement, but now his brother has become a “victim” for the Gun Control Fascists. This example shows the dishonesty of the supporters of Gun Control. Many of the “victims” of gun violence, are in fact criminals killed by law abiding gun owners. They use these criminals to inflate their stats of “victims” to manipulate public opinion.

It is disgusting that 2 months after the Boston Marathon bombings that Progressives have embraced the Tsarnaev brothers as heroes. Sadly I fully expect a Tsarnaev Brothers movie in a few years showing them as heroic and T-Shirts with their faces on it.

As a Libertarian with a Nationalist bent I have ideological differences with today’s Conservative movement, but I do not doubt their patriotism and love of Country. Progressives for the most part hate America and are actively seeking to destroy it and remold it into some Neo-Feudal Totalitarian state. Their embrace of the Tsarnaev brothers shows how Progressives are  treasonous filth. Sadly their worldview is considered “Hip.”

Progressives dream of an end to the NRA

The NRA did something that the incompetent Republican Party could not do. They took on and defeated OFA’s vaunted machine. Progressives are still bitter over this defeat and are now plotting how to take down the NRA. The New Republic delusional claims the NRA will soon collapse. They beleive a group started by Mayor Bloomberg will be able to destroy the NRA.

The de facto headquarters for post-Newtown gun-control activism is New York City Hall, where the effort overlaps relatively seamlessly with the business of running a metropolis of eight million people. Bloomberg and his lieutenants were disappointed by the background-check vote, but not discouraged. After all, they now knew which senators to target in 2014. “The mayor has a long view,” says Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson, Bloomberg’s political point person on the issue. “He is well aware that the NRA had the field to themselves for decades, and you don’t overcome those advantages overnight.”

The modern gun-control movement emerged in the early ’70s in reaction to the urban crime wave and the assassinations of 1968; it was led by the National Coalition to Ban Handguns (now the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence) and the National Council to Control Handguns (now the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence).4 From the outset, its weaknesses were multiple and self-reinforcing. There were disagreements over whether to pursue incremental reforms or more ambitious proposals like handgun registration. And the movement has always been woefully outmatched financially. Gun-rights groups, funded by gun manufacturers, have given more than $30 million to federal candidates since 1989, compared with just under $2 million by their opponents.

[….]

That serious opponent has finally emerged. In 2006, Bloomberg formed Mayors Against Illegal Guns with 14 of his counterparts. One of the group’s first moves was to dispatch undercover investigators to Virginia gun shops—the source of many guns on the streets of northern cities—where they recorded footage showing how easy it was to make illegal purchases.10 In 2010, Bloomberg hired Wolfson, a hard-bitten veteran of three Hillary Clinton campaigns. Listening to the mayor’s team discuss gun control is very different from talking to longtime advocates—the conversations are an odd mash-up of the ruthlessness of campaign hacks and a moral crusade. For an administration that has made its share of ethical compromises—disregarding term limits, pulverizing opponents with the mayor’s personal fortune—gun control has become the ultimate validation.

What Bloomberg has embarked upon now is nothing less than the construction of a mirror image to the NRA. There is plenty of latent public support for gun control, his logic goes, but politicians only see a risk in voting for it. He wants to reverse that calculation.

Progressives are dreaming if they think Bloomberg’s new group can defeat the NRA. Unlike the AstroTurf  Mayors against illegal guns, the NRA is a true grassroots organization. The NRA is not the Republican Party and Progressives underestimate the organization at its peril.

Washington DC considers $250K Insurance Policy for Gun Owners

Despite Obama and OFA’s spectacular defeat at the hands of the NRA, The Progressives have not given up on Gun Control. They are enacting laws at the local level to restrict American’s Constitutional civil rights to bear arms. Washington DC is now looking to add another hurdle to Gun ownership. They are contemplating forcing gun owners to get a $250,000 insurance to own a gun. The average person can not afford this, thus an end run around the Supreme Court’s Heller case.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — Two D.C. councilmembers said Thursday that they support some form of mandate that gun owners carry liability insurance, but they would have to overcome the objections of Mayor Vincent Gray for the District of Columbia to become the nation’s first jurisdiction to require such coverage.

Councilmembers Vincent Orange and Mary Cheh said after a hearing Thursday that any bill they pursue would likely be narrower than Cheh’s initial proposal, which includes a requirement that gun owners insure themselves against intentional as well as accidental shootings

At least a half-dozen states are considering insurance requirements for gun owners, although none of the bills has made it past the hearing stage.

[….]

The district has some of the strictest gun-control laws in the nation. Handguns were banned outright in the nation’s capital until a landmark 2008 Supreme Court ruling, and since then, about 2,000 people have legally purchased firearms. The 13-member council includes 11 Democrats and two left-leaning independents, potentially making the city fertile territory for those pushing an insurance mandate.

This is a disturbing development and end run around people’s Constitutional Rights.

Democrat Gun Control Bill inspired by James Bond

The Democrats are really reaching with gun control.  Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.) is now proposing a bill that would only allow guns to be produced that can be used by the owner only. He got this idea from the latest James Bond film, Skyfall.

A House Democrat inspired by the last James Bond movie has offered legislation to produce handguns with “personalization technology.”

The idea is to produce guns that can only be used by the gun’s owners. Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.) cited the latest James Bond movie, Skyfall, as inspiration for the bill.

“In the most recent James Bond film, Bond escapes death when his handgun, which is equipped with technology that recognizes him as its owner, becomes inoperable when it gets into the wrong hands,” Tierney’s office said in a statement introducing the bill. “This technology, however, isn’t just for the movies — it’s a reality.”

These clowns are delusional, but dangerous.
