Jon Stewart’s take last night on “King Obama’s” shocking executive actions (there were not “executive orders”) on guns issued Wednesday was similar to our own here at The BRAD BLOG that same day, and later in the afternoon on our radio show.
In other words Stewart focused on those who are willing to beclown themselves by insisting that the President’s rather tepid — rather non-controversial if you bother to read them — 23 executive actions and 9 recommendations to Congress to improve gun safety in this nation were nothing short of TYRANNY!!!!
As Stewart observes in the very funny segment posted below, it seems these folks are “confusing tyranny with the unpleasant burning sensation of losing democratic elections.”
He ultimately concludes: “I guess it can be summed up by the old homily: ‘First they came for the guns, and I said nothing, because…they really didn’t.”
The segment is split into two parts, both below, but it’s really just one segment…
OT…I guess this is as good a place as any to put this.

Let’s show them where Christians and Muslims intersect. We believe in a better world, than that composed of our CURRENT representation. Not the media spin, that tells people to be afraid and hate. Can we please have a reasonable talk about our foreign policy? I don’t believe people world wide believe in the violence that free gun trade promotes is the answer. Hell low NRA.

That which makes us stronger can’t be wiped out by GOVTINTERSCAREDUMB.
Democide has historically killed more than any mass shooter ever dreamed of. You can goof off all you want about it but ignoring history is just plain foolish. It doesn’t matter if the current inhabitants of the geographical monopoly on violence we know as our government are all saints today, as such advances in federalized powers are a sure target of those that seek such power tomarrow.
Nevermind that there are already congress critters out there today calling for as much you’ve represented as an exaggeration.
