The Progressives Love Using Teens to Do the Gun Grabbing


Authored by Tami Jackson | on

Hoggwash disarm guns

We’ve all seen the teenagers after the horrible shooting in Parkland Florida. Our hearts break: that shooting was premeditated evil. Absolutely wrong.

But then those teens, still grieving, are being used as shills by the Lefty gun-grabbers whose ultimate goal is disarming the American people so the Enlightened Elitists can control the unwashed masses. These very Second Amendment haters have no problem when innocent babies are killed day after day via excruciatingly painful abortion procedures. But let a deranged person with a rifle kills kids and it’s time to overhaul the Constitution.

Isn’t it interesting that the same radical Lefties who pushed and finagled their way before the Supreme Court with Roe v. Wade, arguing that the right to privacy included the right to kill one’s unborn baby. They triumphed as the U.S. Supreme Court  voted to strike down the Texas law which held abortion, for any reason other than rape or incest, to be illegal.

And voilà! The Burger Court found in favor of Jane Doe, creating a right to kill the unborn out of fairy dust. Or something. Because it sure as heck was not precedence and the Constitution. 

Now those Lefties want to take a real right out of the Constitution that allows for the protection of life and liberty. And they have the perfect foils for their actions in the grief-stricken Florida teenagers.

Progressives have been instructing kids and they are primed to be center stage demanding an AR-15 ban. But that would just be the beginning. The real end game is the Second Amendment and you better believe America’s rampaging socialists would love nothing better that to take that Amendment out!

But what those sorrowful young people have not been taught is that the gun is an amoral, inanimate object. It is the heart, the will, of the shooter where bad intentions begin and take root.

President Adams famously wrote:

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Why would he say such a thing? Because John Adams understood the intrinsic value of principles that informed the heart. Things like the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule and more. Adams knew that a faith which ruled the heart would temper the actions. But, without those inner moral constraints government would need outer constraints and by necessity grow more and more strong and intrusive.

Well, we’ve taken away the Founders’ worldview, we’ve scourged government schools of every vestige of faith, we’ve told these kids they’re the random accident of nature, and concurrently made them believe the world revolves around them and their tender wittle feelings. Poor snowflakes.

Educators have done anything but educate for too many decades. Thanks to the mostly despotic control of education by radical Lefties, kiddies have been indoctrinated in all things radical, New Age, and perverse. They’ve been taught to distrust their parents and grandparents, but trust implicitly any teacher or professor.

Congratulations Progressives! You’ve raised a self-centered generation or three devoid of the very transcendent principles that prohibit both killing unborn babies and born children. Millennials, Gen-Xers, and Gen-Zers, for the most part, have no common sense or critical thinking skills. Now we find ourselves living among young Americans who don’t know the Constitution, don’t know our history. Young men and women who blame drunk drivers for driving while intoxicated, and not the car. But who, in the next breath, blame the GUN and not the evil shooter for shootings.

Welcome to the new America, where down is up and up is down, good is evil and evil is good. Has a familiar ring to it…I bet Billy Graham would know!

One thing you can be sure of, The Left is relishing this opportunity to use the mis-taught, tearful youth to do their gun grabbing.

Deputy Who Arrived At Shooting ‘Never Went In’ School


Authored by Justin Caruso | Media Reporter | 6:14 PM 02/22/2018

Broward County (Fla.) Sheriff Scott Israel said Thursday that a deputy was at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School while gunman Nikolas Cruz was shooting but “never went in,” even though the officer heard the gunshots and “clearly” knew a gunman was inside the school.

Seventeen people died as a result of the shooting last week.

“We’re not going to disclose the video at this time, and we may never disclose the video depending on the prosecution and the criminal case. What I saw was a deputy arrive at the west side of building 12, take up a position, and he never went in,” Sheriff Israel said.

The deputy, Scott Peterson, was suspended without pay and has since resigned.

“Devastated, sick to my stomach, there are no words,” Israel said.

Okay, I’ll be the bad guy and say what no one else is brave enough to say, but wants to say. I’ll take all the criticism and attacks from everyone because you know what? I’m a TEACHER. I live this life daily. And I wouldn’t do anything else! But I also know daily I could end up in an active shooter situation.

Until we, as a country, are willing to get serious and talk about mental health issues, lack of available care for the mental health issues, lack of discipline in the home, horrendous lack of parental support when the schools are trying to control horrible behavior at school (oh no! Not MY KID. What did YOU do to cause my kid to react that way?), lack of moral values, and yes, I’ll say it-violent video games that take away all sensitivity to ANY compassion for others’ lives, as well as reality TV that makes it commonplace for people to constantly scream up in each others’ faces and not value any other person but themselves, we will have a gun problem in school. Our kids don’t understand the permanency of death anymore!!!

I grew up with guns. Everyone knows that. But you know what? My parents NEVER supported any bad behavior from me. I was terrified of doing something bad at school, as I would have not had a life until I corrected the problem and straightened my ass out. My parents invaded my life. They knew where I was ALL the time. They made me have a curfew. They made me wake them up when I got home. They made me respect their rules. They had full control of their house, and at any time could and would go through every inch of my bedroom, backpack, pockets, anything! Parents: it’s time to STEP UP! Be the parent that actually gives a crap! Be the annoying mom that pries and knows what your kid is doing. STOP being their friend. They have enough “friends” at school. Be their parent. Being the “cool mom” means not a damn thing when either your kid is dead or your kid kills other people because they were allowed to have their space and privacy in YOUR HOME. I’ll say it again. My home was filled with guns growing up. For God’s sake, my daddy was an 82nd Airborne Ranger who lost half his face serving our country. But you know what? I never dreamed of shooting anyone with his guns. I never dreamed of taking one! I was taught respect for human life, compassion, rules, common decency, and most of all, I was taught that until I moved out, my life and bedroom wasn’t mine…it was theirs. And they were going to know what was happening because they loved me and wanted the best for me.

There. Say that I’m a horrible person. I didn’t bring up gun control, and I will refuse to debate it with anyone. This post wasn’t about gun control. This was me, loving the crap out of people and wanting the best for them. This was about my school babies and knowing that God created each one for greatness, and just wanting them to reach their futures. It’s about 20 years ago this year I started my teaching career. Violence was not this bad 20 years ago. Lack of compassion wasn’t this bad 20 years ago. And God knows 20 years ago that I wasn’t afraid daily to call a parent because I KNEW that 9 out of 10 would cuss me out, tell me to go to Hell, call the news on me, call the school board on me, or post all over FaceBook about me because I called to let them know what their child chose to do at school…because they are a NORMAL kid!!!!!

Those 17 lives mattered. When are we going to take our own responsibility seriously?

School Shooting Survivor Decries the Loss of Innocents…The Irony (Video)


Authored by Tami Jackson | on

Ryan Deitsch

All of America is mourning the loss of seventeen lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Another fourteen were wounded. The perp, “Nikolas Jacob Cruz, was arrested shortly afterward and confessed, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. He was charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder.”

Murder is an evil act. And on Wednesday, February 14, 2018 — which was both Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday — a young man committed evil acts by slaughtering seventeen innocent teens.

Now the backlash begins. Rather than condemn the evil act, The Left, the Progressives, aggressively seek to infringe our Second Amendment rights. Rather than get to the root of the problem — the heart of an individual, hardened to the precept of sanctity of human life — Lefties choose to go after the inanimate weapon used to take those lives.

We mourn and we pray for the fallen, for their families, for the community. We pray for God’s comfort and protection. In America, our flags are at half-staff, as a reminder of the great loss, of the senseless act that cut down young, promising lives.

Today the students, most likely fed anti-gun propaganda in the government schools for years, are protesting at their state capital, asking legislators to do something. I won’t condemn those students, all of whom are grieving the loss of their friends.

But I most certainly will condemn the wrongheaded ideology disseminated daily in America’s public schools. The ideology of The Left condemns law-abiding gun owners and the Second Amendment. They ignore the blatant fact that the law-abiding citizens are not the problem. And sorry, but the firearms are not the problem.

The schools have been so busy protecting students from “horrible” influences like prayer *GASP* and the Ten Commandments. Yea, those Commandments of which number six reads:

Thou shalt not kill. (Deuteronomy 5:17 KJV)

You shall not murder. (NIV)

Yea that pesky commandment prohibiting the murder of innocents. Once upon a time school students all knew the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule. Not anymore; thanks very much Progressive educators.

So this morning, as the students gave impassioned pleas for something to be done to stop the slaughter, I caught this one student, Ryan Deitsch, adding his comments. Listen to what he says very carefully. Pay particular attention to his words at 1:01 ( grabbed my iPad quickly, so excuse the quality of the video itself):

“And what is wrong is that the life of innocents that are being taken day after day after day”

I completely agree with Ryan.

Seventeen innocents were murdered last Wednesday. It was an evil act by a troubled young man who happened to use a firearm as his weapon.

Three thousand innocents are murdered daily in America via abortion.

Young Ryan spoke the truth and unwittingly highlighted a shameful problem in America.

So we continue to pray for those students, for the families who have lost a son or daughter, and for the entire Parkland community.

But don’t lose sight of the irony. Innocents are being murdered day after day after day.
