Upside, downside

Whenever there's an emergency in America, you will see ordinary citizens risking their own lives to help out.

And you will also see extraordinary a$$holes trying to make political hay.

Mark my word, before this is over, we'll probably see somebody try to link the bombing in Boston to the need for more gun control, or at least to the need for higher taxes and bigger government.

Update: Bingo!

We, on the Right, probably predicted how the Left would respond. It didn't take long for their fingers to start pointing, and the rhetoric to rise from all the usual tools. If this had been a drinking game (and if I were a drinker) the face plant would have happened early on. They are the antithesis of yesterday's responders.

This morning, Rush had a great call. The gentleman was from California. He said that he was going to get Senator Feinstein to introduce a bill to ban pressure cookers, and limit the purchase of ball bearing. Pure gold!

As the sun comes up in the east, you can always rely on Barney Frank to be "that guy" that makes a partisan statement.

Domestic terrorists tend to be on the right?

Bernadette Dorne, Bill Ayers, and other early adopters of bombings were leftists. They set the pattern that is still used.

"Extraordinary a$$holes", ghoulish pricks. 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

Barney Frank, now where has that name come up before, something to do with loans wasn't it?

What was it that great man once said: "Never let a crisis go to waste!"

Merilyn: Barney Frank? Loans? Why, yes, I believe I do recall something about that.

Earth Liberation Front, Earth First, all those so-called animal "rights" extremists who destroy years of research, millions of dollars in laboratory equipment, and target scientists' homes and families, etc. etc. etc.

Also, five OWS members are in prison today for plotting to blow up a bridge in Cleveland.

Interesting how people like Chris Tingles so easily forget.
