A Democrat's hypocrisy comes home to roost

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


That’s right, this hypocritical Democrat pulled out his gun and promptly shot one of the copper burglars.

Now as someone who also had a new construction burglarized by copper thieves, I can relate to the anger and frustration a homeowner feels over some meth-head stealing copper while one is trying to build a new house. But the last time I checked, most people -- and certainly few Democrats – wouldn’t consider copper thievery a capital offense.

Yet here is a man who evidently felt comfortable voting against giving Texans the right to defend themselves while thumbing his nose at his own vote and blasting away at the bad guys.

Do as I say, not as I do, eh?

Incidentally, the guy Miles shot is going to live. Perhaps his shot was as shaky as his vote, he hit the thief in the leg.

Bearing in mind that the new “Castle Doctrine” law doesn’t take affect until Sept 1st, I wonder if Borris Miles might face criminal charges for shooting a guy in his own house?

The only thing more delicious than witnessing yet another Democrat’s rank hypocrisy would be to see a legislator go to jail for breaking a law that he voted to uphold.

Why do some of these clowns make it so easy?

An American Democrat
I am an American first and a Democrat second. As I look at my party, I realize that American patriotism is a distant memory for many Americans, while some look upon our great country with disdain, distrust, and even disgust.

My inspiration and foundational political views as a young American came from words spoken by an American Democrat who paid the ultimate price, "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

Where are the John F. Kennedy democrats today? I would like to be counted as one of that group. Everything that I have written on my website, http://www.AnAmericanDemocrat.com, is dedicated to the spirit of his words.

If you have time please check it out. I want to advance the discussion as much as I can.
Thanks
Paris

Stupidity
Well Mike Gallagher that is a good story. For every stupid democrat you find I can find a stupid republican. Democrats don't hold a monopoly on stupidity as some seem to think.
