Gunman Kills 20 Schoolchildren, 6 Adults at Connecticut School

Crazy people having guns isn't a Left or Right thing, or a Democrat or Republican thing, it's a common sense, life or death thing. Because a man who uses a gun to kill innocent children was never interested in "self-defense" or shooting some bear in the woods, Adam Lanza was a madman and a coward hellbent on making a name for himself in the most hellacious way possible. And he did just that. And like day follows night expect the Left to exploit this tragedy in every way possible and in return (as per usual) conservatives will return the fire with 2nd Amendment creeds ad nauseum...yunno, the usual stuff. And in the meantime people will talk "the good fight", but nothing will get done, crazy people will continue to have access to guns and more innocent people will die in the next tragedy...whenever that is:

Dressed in black fatigues and a military vest, a heavily armed man walked into a Connecticut elementary school Friday and opened fire, shattering the quiet of this southern New England town and leaving the nation reeling at the number of young lives lost.

Within minutes, 26 people were dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School -- 20 of them children. Among the six adults killed were Dawn Hochsprung, the school's beloved principal, and school psychologist Mary Sherlach.

The shooter, identified by three law enforcement officials as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, also was killed, apparently by his own hand.

"Stuff like this does not happen in Newtown," a tight-knit community of about 27,000 just outside Danbury, said Renee Burn, a local teacher at another school in town. In the past 10 years, only one homicide had previously been reported.

With the death toll at 26, the Newtown shooting is the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, behind only the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech that left 32 people dead.

"Evil visited this community today," Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy said of Friday's massacre.

Susan Rice Withdraws Her Name From Consideration To Be Secretary Of State

Some conservatives may look at this as some sort of "victory" what with Ambassador Rice's inept handling of the Benghazi situation, but with a total loser like John Kerry now on deck to become SOS is it really a win?

United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice has sent an official request to President Barack Obama that her name be withdrawn from consideration to replace Sec. Hillary Clinton to be the next Secretary of State.

NBC News reports that the ambassador will speak with anchor Brian Williams to elaborate on her reasoning. The interview will be broadcast on Thursday night.

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) is the likely candidate to be sent to the Senate for possible confirmation to replace Sec. Clinton. 

UPDATE: President Obama has accepted Rice’s request that her name be removed from consideration to replace Sec. Clinton. “I deeply regret the unfair and misleading attacks on Susan Rice in recent weeks,” Obama said in a statement.

Rush Limbaugh: Obama Wants The Republican Party To ‘Destroy Itself’

Mediaite.com:

On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh concluded that President Obama is trying to get the Republican party to “destroy itself.” Why else, he reasoned, would he be trying to convince an ardently anti-tax party that they need to raise taxes on the wealthy in order to handle the fiscal cliff crisis? With Democrats pressuring the GOP to agree to tax increases in the fiscal cliff negotiations, Limbaugh could reach no other conclusion than the Democrats are trying to facilitate the destruction of their opposition. It would be a confession by the GOP taxing the rich more would do a lot to improve the economy.

Limbaugh made it clear that any sign of capitulation on the part of the Republicans will be, basically, driving a stake through the heart of their core principles and leave a distaste in the mouths of their supporters.

“If Obama succeeds and ends up getting a confession from Republicans that tax cuts are the problem, tax cuts are the cause, what happens to the next Republican who campaigns on tax cuts? Not going to have a prayer.”

Limbaugh attacked Obama and the education system for creating a “distortion” of American history to explain how the country’s economic woes are in part to blame on lower taxes on the rich. He brought up a poll finding that Obama has not only won the argument on taxes, but now a sizable chunk of Republicans believe the president has a mandate to raise taxes on the top one percent of Americans.

Chirlane McCray Proves That Homosexuality Is A Lifestyle Choice

Godless, social liberals love to equate homosexuality with race, but amongst other differences black people can't wake up one day and declare themselves white or vice versa. However, one time "lesbians" can go "straight", marry a man and have kids with her husband as Chirlane McCray proves here:

Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and his wife went on a media blitz yesterday — opening up about her lesbian past and their 21-year marriage.

“I really prefer to define myself on my own terms and wanted to clear the air a little bit. I own it,” de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, told The Post after appearing on NY1’s ‘Inside City Hall’ last night.

McCray and de Blasio, who is running for mayor, were responding to the bombshell revelation last week that she had written a front-page article on the cover of Essence magazine in 1979 declaring, “I am a lesbian.”

“Sexuality is very fluid, it’s very individual and it’s very personal,” McCray said in the NY1 interview.

She said she was pleased by the “outcry of support,” adding, “I think I’m going to be able to use this as a platform to go out and do a lot of good.”

Earlier, the couple appeared on Fox 5’s “Good Day New York.” She wore a yellow dress and he donned a yellow power tie.

Both stressed they are in a loving relationship and have two wonderful children.
And they celebrated her lesbian past.

“When I think about how young I was, what the world was like in 1979, I’m proud at what I was able to do. I was able to project my voice and claim my space in the world,” McCray said.

“I hope young people struggling with their identity try to take heart from that. That was 33 years ago. The world has progressed a great deal.”

De Blasio emphasized the couple is in a “monogamous, committed relationship.”

Asked if she was no longer a lesbian, McCray said, “I am married. I have two children. Sexuality is a fluid thing and it’s personal. I don’t even understand the question, quite frankly.”

She said their two children, Chiara and Dante, were “smart” and “hip” and understood her past.

Only 7% of Detroit Public-School 8th Graders Proficient in Reading

Remember it's Democrats who almost always support unions and this is what your kids get in return:

In the public schools in Detroit, Mich., according to the U.S. Department of Education, only 7 percent of the eighth graders are grade-level proficient or better in reading.

Some public school teachers in the City of Detroit and around the state of Michigan are reportedly taking a vacation or a sick day today to protest right-to-work legislation likely to be approved by the state legislature. Under current law, Michigan public school teachers must pay dues to the teachers’ union. If the right-to-work law is enacted, Michigan public-school teachers will be free to join the union and pay dues to it if they wish, but they will also be free not to join the union and not to pay it dues.

Detroit public-school eighth graders do even worse in math than they do in reading, according to the Department of Education. While only 7 percentscored highly enough on the department’s National Assessment of Educational Progress test in 2011 to be rated “proficient” or better in reading, only 4 percent scored highly enough to be rated “proficient” or better in math.

Statewide in Michigan, only 32 percent of public-school eighth gradersscored grade-level proficient or better in reading, and only 31 percent scoredgrade-level proficient or better in math.

Bill O'Reilly Says He's Going To Call Out Race Hustlers

Mediaite.com:

Bill O'Reilly opened his show tonight by attacking liberal hate speech on the divisive issues of race and gay marriage. O’Reilly, in particular, highlighted rhetoric used by sports writer Jason Whitlock, whose words on gun control following the murder-suicide committed by NFL linebacker Jovan Belcher were now-famously quoted last Sunday by Bob Costas. O’Reilly described his language as “pure racism” and responded to personal attacks leveled at him by Whitlock.

O’Reilly explained that he reached out to Whitlock to get him on the program, but instead of accepting the invitation, Whitlock publicly wrote a piece attacking O’Reilly for acting like a “master” in the “big house” thinking that he could simply “summon” him. O’Reilly said Whitlock is engaging in “pure racism” for implying that O’Reilly is akin for some kind of slave overlord.

O’Reilly said Whitlock deserves some pity, but mostly he deserves to be called out for trying to deliberately stir up emotional reactions. Juan Williams said Whitlock should have considered the O’Reilly invitation as an “honor,” saying that Whitlock are trying to “muzzle” people like him and O’Reilly.

Mary Katharine Ham agreed that Whitlock’s attacks on O’Reilly were just “an attempt to marginalize people who disagree.” O’Reilly broadened the discussion to say it bothers him when people try to label people who oppose gay marriage as bigots and homophobes.

Williams said these people don’t want an honest debate, while Ham pointed out there are different standards for different sides.” O’Reilly declared that he has “had enough” and will continue to call out the “Christmas haters” and the “race hustlers.”
