I like how the anti-gun folks talk about the gun lobby as if it were some behemoth trade group, when in actuality some of the biggest pro-gun organizations operate on the dues of individual members in a way that many organizations (MoveOn, for example) can only dream of. Here we have a true grass-roots movement, but it is treated as some special interest because it’s all us rubes (People of the Gun).

Cardinal George's response to Pfleger's threats. Cardinal George rebuked Pfleger, saying, "Publicly delivering a threat against anyone's life betrays the civil order and is morally outrageous, especially if this threat came from a priest."

(CNSNews.com) – An Illinois gun-rights group says it plans to complain to the Catholic Church after a Chicago priest at the weekend appeared to call for the murder of a suburban gun shop owner.

During a Rainbow/PUSH Coalition protest at Chuck’s Gun Shop & Range on Saturday, the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina’s Church, threatened to “snuff” shop owner John Riggio.

Dr. Washington’s unstated thesis here is that the majority of Americans are very stupid and that they are easily manipulator by sophisticated propaganda campaigns. This concept, which finds wide acceptance on the left, undermines the entire premise of American democracy. It’s very dangerous.

Gun control fails as a political issue because it is grounded in the elitist beliefs that ordinary, law abiding people are to stupid and incompetent to own and use guns. Leftist can’t understand why calling people stupid is a failure at the polls so they invent elaborate effects and conspiracies to explain it.

I live in a high rise and it is not practical to take my dogs out more than 4x a day. Newsprint is invaluable to my oldest dog.

Aarrgh… that is a pretty terrible article. Especially since, as you pointed out, she is a journalism TEACHER.

We often point out how awful the articles are and then the journalists hide behind the fact that they are “neutral”… but not very neutral, after all, nor effective.
