Democrats: "Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste"

Quote:

This is the typical liberal response to any tragedy---take advantage of crisis and people's fear to overreach and grow the government bigger.

How many Democrats will be willing to face the reality that humanity is sinful and that only the Gospel of Jesus Christ will set men free? Rather than fight prayer in the public square, fight the Ten Commandments in the public square, fight the Bible in the public square, fight references to Jesus and nativity scenes and CHRISTmas, why won't Democrats try to get to the cause of the problem rather than look for ways to score political points?

Feinstein's proposal is so predictable. This is the party that lives by the mantra "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." (Rahm Emanuel)

Re: Democrats: "Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste"

How many Republicans will do the same? Most politicians won't, not just Democrats.

All politicians do this. What scares me is people who might CREATE a crisis in order to turn opinions in their favor....

Yes.
And that has been going on
already for a long time.
It's an old political trick.

Stop the hate. I don't care if you're liberal or conservative any more. Stop the hate. Stop the rhetoric. The tension is building to a point that it's no longer beneficial. We need to come together as a society. Yes, disagree theologically. No one will ever agree on God. But for crying out loud... stop the endless blame game. Because BOTH sides are to blame and the blood of children is on their hands... and all they can do is continue the senseless arguing that distracts from actually addressing so many of these issues.

This isn't about gun control.
It's not about comparing to abortion.
It's not about home schooling.

This is about the need for a more civil society and school security.

No, it's about our hearts.

You're preaching to the choir. Conservatives/Libertarians agree with you. But as the saying goes, one cannot reason with an unreasonable person. The left has a agenda of domination.

Anyone who thinks that the right doesn't also is an idiot.

Love it... disclose the phone number and addresses of haters. Maybe they will shut up and bring down their stupid rhetoric if they're becoming the targets of wackos.
