It appears to me we should join the current hysteria and suggest the evidence shows that all registered Democrats should be confiscated. We know who they are- ~ they're registered!
Why is it the progressive liberals that steal guns, and then go and kill movie goers and children in school, have never been a conservative NRA member?
Ft. Hood ~~~ Registered Democrat ~ Muslim
Columbine ~~~ Too young to vote, but both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals.
Virginia Tech ~~~ Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff; was a Registered Democrat.
Colorado Theater ~~~ Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall Street participant; progressive liberal.
Connecticut School Shooter ~~~ Registered Democrat; hated Christians.
The common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive, liberal Democrats.
Interesting, isn't it?

Smart Democrats Should Be Worried - Who said any of them are smart?
Liberal pundits are already fanning out in force to attack and discredit Paul Ryan. Michael Tomasky, who recently wrote a Newsweek cover story calling Mitt Romney a “wimp,” has now decided that Romney’s bold move is “a terrible choice” because Ryan has proven himself to be an extremist on budget issues.
No doubt there are many Democrats rubbing their hands in glee in contemplation of reviving some version of the ad that featured an actor playing Paul Ryan pushing a grandmother in a wheelchair off a cliff. But the smarter ones are worried.First, if Ryan is an extremist and his proposals are so unpopular, how has he won election seven times in a Democratic district? His lowest share of the vote was 57 percent — in his first race. He routinely wins over two-thirds of the vote. When Obama swept the nation in 2008, he carried Ryan’s district by four points. But at the same time, Ryan won reelection with 65 percent of the vote, meaning that a fifth of Obama voters also voted for him.
Ryan has pointed out to me that no Republican has carried his district for president since Ronald Reagan in 1984. “I have held hundreds of town-hall meetings in my district explaining why we have to take bold reform steps, and I’ve found treating people like adults works,” he told me. “All those ads pushing elderly woman off the cliffs don’t work anymore if you lay out the problem.”
Second, Democrats know that Ryan has Reaganesque qualities that make him appealing to independent, middle-class voters. Take the cover story on Ryan that the Isthmus, a radically left-wing Madison, Wis. newspaper, ran on him in 2009. “Ryan, with his sunny disposition and choirboy looks, projects compassion and forcefully proclaims dedication to his district,” the story reported. “And he’s proved he is not unyieldingly pro-corporate, as when he recently joined in condemnation of AIG ‘retention’ bonuses.”
Third, Ryan’s ideas aren’t that novel or scary. The idea of “premium support” for Medicare, which would change the program’s one-size-fits-all policy to a private-insurance model with public options, was endorsed by a bipartisan commission appointed by Bill Clinton back in the 1990s. Late last year, Ryan announced a new version of his proposal with a new partner signing on: Democratic senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, who first achieved political prominence as an advocate for seniors.
Four, Ryan puts Wisconsin and its ten electoral votes in play. Polls have shown that President Obama holds a five to seven point lead in Wisconsin — significant, but much less than Obama’s 14-point margin in 2008. With Ryan on the ticket, polls show the race is dead even.
Five, if Republicans were looking for a superior candidate, they’ve found it in Ryan. His maiden speech as the GOP vice-presidential candidate was perfectly pitched:
We won’t duck the tough issues . . . we will lead!Echoes of Ronald Reagan at his best.
We won’t blame others…we will take responsibility!
We won’t replace our founding principles . . . we will reapply them!
Ryan was judged to have already had the better of President Obama in televised exchanges on Obamacare. His debate with Joe Biden this October might well be remembered as cruel and unusual punishment for dim vice presidents. Recall that Sarah Palin fought a much more engaged Joe Biden to a draw in their 2008 vice-presidential debate.
Six, as Democratic consultant Joe Trippi acknowledged today on Fox News, Ryan will bring in a flood of donations from overjoyed conservatives and tea-party members. Romney had a problem with energizing the GOP base. That problem is now solved, and that will make it easier to pump up conservative turnout.
Democrats will no doubt try to make Paul Ryan into a younger version of the devil they’ve tried to paint Mitt Romney as. But they should worry about fighting a campaign on fundamental issues in a weak economy. That’s precisely how Jimmy Carter, the last Democratic president to run for reelection during hard times, wound up losing so badly that it not only cost Democrats control of the U.S. Senate but damaging the liberal brand for years afterwards.

Can a Christian be a liberal? Short answer: no. There is no way a Christian can buy into progressive/big government ideology and be faithful to the bigger-than-Dallas teachings of Scripture and expect to continue enjoying his hard-won religious liberties.Friday, July 20, 2012
Have you noticed El Presidente is lookin' a bit haggard?
Barack Obama Should Remember That The Government Didn’t Get There On Its Own
Here’s Barack Obama channeling Elizabeth Warren about how all of those awful successful people in America owe the government all of their money because it built roads and street signs.
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
To begin with, it’s not as if wealthy Americans aren’t already giving something back. In fact, they’re giving so much back that rich Democrats like Denise Rich are fleeing the country so they can give less back somewhere else.
It’s also intriguing that in the process of telling successful people not to forget about teachers, stop signs, roads, and street lights, etc., which every American benefits from, he seems to forget that the government was only able to build those things because of the taxpayers. Every dime Barack Obama spends on his vacations, his golf outings, on encouraging more people to use food stamps, or to hire new IRS agents to go after Americans who don’t dance to his tune under the new health care law — all of that is paid for through taxes. Moreover, those services are of such low value that the government doesn’t even have the guts to ask almost half of Americans to pay any income taxes to cover the expenses. In other words, we’re to the point where Obama has to try to incessantly get more out of rich Americans because the poor and even many middle class Americans don’t think the services the government provides are worth the money.
Last but not least, it is true that the government played a role in creating the Internet, but it had almost nothing to do with the Internet growing into a massive worldwide force. In fact, the most significant thing the government did to help along the growth of the Internet was to take a hands-off approach. Thank goodness it did. If the government were as involved in the Internet as it is in medicine or banking regulations, computers wouldn’t be good for anything today except playing PONG and chatting on bulletin boards.
