FACTS EMERGE IN N.Y. COP SHOOTING

Dawn Nguyen of Rochester, NY is facing several charges after being arrested for purchasing the weapons used by convicted felon William Spangler.  The charges are connected to an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun that Spengler had with him Monday when two Webster, NY firefighters were gunned down.  

COMMENTS:

More details will soon be forthcoming about a .38 revolver Spangler also had in his possession.  I’m glad to see that the source of the guns used is being pursued.  This is the type of gun control that should be enforced. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Since the debt ceiling has to be raised again, why don’t the Republicans simply agree to Obama’s demands for higher taxes on the rich and then refuse to raise the debt ceiling unless there are significant spending cuts?  (Garland ~ Escondido, CA)

A. Because they know they don’t have the fortitude to make that scenario stick.  And, the Democrats know the Republicans don’t have that fortitude as well.  It’s kind of why Ahmadinejad keeps flipping the finger at Obama over his nuclear program; he knows the U.S. no longer has the fortitude to stop him. 

Q. Here’s something that’s certainly not making the news: U.S. military suicide deaths are exceeding the number killed in combat.  Why do you think that is?  (Yolanda ~ Sedona, AZ)

A. Society as a whole is bankrupt.  Beyond that, they’re being put in the untenable position of defending America’s interests while having their hands tied behind their backs.  If they kill an enemy soldier who is shooting at them, there is a whole inquisition over the matter.  Finally, we shoul all be worshiping these men and women who lay their lives on the line every day so that we have the freedom to blog about what ails America.  Instead, our President wants to cut their wages and benefits and treat them like dirt. 

Q. I’ve heard it said that Obama’s lack of leadership is to blame for the “fiscal cliff.”  Do you agree?  (Phyllis ~ Ojai, CA)

A. Obama doesn’t lack leadership skills.  Otherwise, how could he convince Americans to reelect him?  The so-called fiscal cliff is a dream of his own making and a nightmare of our future endurance.
