Bloomberg To Sue Airlines, Boeing for 9-11 Attacks

Still glowing with the success of his sting operations against gun sellers in five other states, Mayor Bloomberg said it was also time to hold major airlines and large airplane manufacturers accountable for the thousands of deaths caused each year by illegal airplanes.

Speaking to a bipartisan council of mayors opposed to airplane violence, Bloomberg said, "There is no issue more important than fighting crime. On 9-11 thousands of Americans were murdered with airplanes, and most airplanes used in crimes are hijacked illegally. The Republicans, Democrats, and independents from around the country who have joined our coalition of mayors – and who are now creating a coalition of state legislators – recognize that we can both protect a citizen's right to travel and get tough on illegal airplanes at the same time. Mayors and police departments often rely on state legislators to give us the tools we need to fight illegal airplanes, and we look forward to working with them to make sure we do everything possible to keep illegal airplanes out of the hands of criminals – and keep our communities safe."

Asked how he came up with the idea of suing airlines and airliner manufacturers, Bloomberg cited his childhood hero, Che Guevara. "It began with the idea of suing gun vendors in other states and holding them responsible for how the guns they sold were used by criminals. Che said, 'The workers' struggle has no borders.' It really struck me then that, wow, how limited I was in harassing legal gun vendors in my own jurisdiction! Che taught me to go beyond myself, to think outside of the box, and to start assuming jurisdiction over private citizens in other states. It was a true inspiration to me.

"When a guy sells a gun," continued the Mayor, "he ought to psychically know when he's selling to a straw man who's going to give the gun to a criminal who can't legally get one for himself. Then I thought, you know, airplanes cause a lot of deaths too, especially here in my own city. American Airlines and United are directly responsible for selling tickets to terrorists, and for failing to know that those planes would be hijacked and driven into the World Trade Center.

"What's more, all those planes were manufactured by Boeing, a multi-million dollar (at least!), multi-national corporation that failed to install safety devices on their airplanes to make them hijack-proof. If that's not culpability, then I don't know the meaning of the word."

When queried further about whether criminals should be held accountable for their actions, Bloomberg responded, "What?"

What does the future hold? Looking ahead, the progressive New York mayor said, "I'm considering extending my sting operations into other states by sending private detectives to auto dealerships to catch them in the act of selling to straw buyers who pass the cars along to criminals who use them in a crime. That's what progressivism is all about – intruding into the lives of private citizens everywhere for the good of the People™. I think that's what Che would have done."

Clinton/Bloomberg '08!

I just found out that Commiefornia has a law that restricts "assault" style rifles from having magazines larger than 5 rounds.  I hate this place sometimes.

<Karakter_Off>
You just had to get me going, didn't you Betty? The gun grabbers seem to be fixated on a buzzword like 'assault'. These people try to assure us that banning all handguns and 'assault' weapons will not take away our hunting rifles, and yet they fail to realize that the Second Amendment is not about hunting.

They claim that semi-automatic weapons have no sporting use. But semi-automatic rifles have a long history in hunting and other sports. The famous BAR, or Browning Automatic Rifle, is a semiautomatic hunting rifle; so is the Remington Model 7400. Semi-automatic shotguns have been on the market for many years. I myself own a Mini-14 .223 Semi-auto for mid-range light game, among numerous other automatic handguns and semi-auto big game rifles, all of which have taken a lot of game over the years. Not to mention that the M1 Garand, the M1A1, and the AR-15 are the top three rifles used by competitive shooters.

And I love it when the local news says things like "...and seized was an arsenal of weapons and a thousand rounds of ammunition." You can tell these folks have never handled a gun...a thousand rounds equals two boxes of .22 shells. Hardly a stockpile.

Some of the weapons included in these gun bans are not even being produced anymore. And the Uzi, a weapon often feared by the gun banners, is illegal to import by federal law.

The gun grabbers resort to their old tricks of emotionalism and rhetoric to get their way, calling gun dealers "merchants of death" and blaming them for gun violence. I often wonder if they hold auto dealers responsible for drunk driving deaths, but then I come to my senses and realize who I'm dealing with - bleeding-hearts who are the first to call for help from people like you and me when the chips are down, and they need someone to protect them. Hypocrites.

I apologize for the rant...back to our regularly scheduled programming...

What do they think people did before guns were even invented?  

The Bible isn't specific about how Cain killed Abel, but it's safe to assume no gun was involved.

The actual term "Assault Rifle" was the name of a gun.  After that, any gun that is used for combat is termed an "assault rifle".  Unfortunately, not everyone realizes this.

And the best proof is from actual results.

That is what I have been saying Pinkie.  Do these people think that murder is just going to stop after our guns are taken away?  Set aside the fact that the criminals will have guns regardless of wheather or not the gov says that they can't; there are plenty of other ways to kill a person, knives, poisining, choking........ you can go on and on, but guns are just the most convient way of doing it.  

What I love too is when they say that we are too stupid to own a gun, take a quote from a progressive:

Quote

“If another student in the room or a teacher had a gun and opened fire,they may hurt other students,” he said, “because unlike police officers,concealed-weapon permit holders are not necessarily well-trained in shooting in crowds and reacting to those kinds of situations.”

linky

Liberal's view of gun owners:



Yes, we are too stupid to hit the right person, we are just gonna go on a shooting rampage with the other guy.  Oh! And nevermind the fact that the students are already getting hurt from the other guy.

Take another quote from
sarita1985 (on the posting at the bottom of the story):

(Once again, notice how gun holders are too stupid to hit the target.)

Quote

Simple logic would indicate that more guns means more gun violence. These cases of "gun rampages" are extremely rare, which is exactly why they get so much coverage in the news. Enabling students or teachers to carry weapons, concealed or otherwise, would serve to increase gun violence in schools, not prevent it.
One of the most interesting facts I had learned in Criminology was that you are more likely to get shot if you own a gun. Let's say that they had enacted a law enabling students and teachers to carry guns and miraculously they had shot the gunman, is one case really worth the risk of increased gun violence against one another(individual murders, accidental shootings, children p

Yes comrade, simple logic.  As a matter of fact, why don't you get a box of pre-packaged opinions from the DNC, to keep the logic simple.

Actully, this is what gun owners do:

Finally!  He gets fed up with it:



ke,ke,ke,ke

Go Microsoft!

  

At the risk of getting even further off the original topic, someone tell me again what the pro-abortion crowd means by "safe, legal and rare"; why "abstinence only" education doesn't work, and condoms should be distributed in schools and the kids taught how to use them?

  
They view so called “gun rampages” as a somewhat acceptable level of violence, same way they view 9-11. Doesn’t happen that often, don’t do something drastic like kill the perpetrators.

But think of all the bloody coat hangers Pinkie!  Think of all those poor women that die every year because they have to pull that parasite out with a dirty coat hanger!

We humans are animals, with no self control, ever.  That is why abstinence does not work.  We must teach our childern (most who have been able to narrow down their daddy to 3 potential men) that we must and we can have what we want now!  If it feels good, then do it and do it now!

This is why abstance does not work, it realies upon self-control; something we definally do not to ever have to deal with.

Off Character

This is what Gun Control Really Means:


As you can see there are three levels of gun control with attachment bars for weapons that you qualified with.

Yes..."Gun control"

Even in Iraq after we liberated them, we let the citizens remain armed so they can defend themselves against the "Ali Babas" (roaming bands of thieves) and the insurge...shit, call them what they are...Terrorists. We could have totally disarmed them and made them helpless, and yes, it came back to bite us in the ass a lot of times, losing great men and women to people who are finally starting understand the two words "freedom" and "liberty" and the responsibilities that come with it. That's why Iraq is hardly front page news anymore except in Moonbatville and Impeachmentland.

Brilliant Story Komissar Blogunov

Your family will  receive a new party approved section 8 apartment

Thanks to whoever did the excellent graphics work and promoted it to the Current Truth^TM!

Adding the pictures was easy once Komissar Blogunov nailed all the needed hooks to the wall.

~ Invisible Hand of the Party

Thanks for the spiffy apartment!  Mrs. Blogunov has measured the window, and will make a curtain as soon as we can spare a presentable portion of our pillow case.  O, what luxury!  We'll be the envy of all those impoverished westerners with their inferior capitalist system and soup lines.

Does the light work, too?

Thanks, Red.  My pastor brought me up to speed on the Bloomberg gun grab since Jay Wallace, the owner of a local gun store in Smyrna, GA is the target of one of Bloomberg's "investigations".  In some small way, I wanted to speak up for this guy.

One of the attorneys representing Wallace is none other than former Georgia representative Bob Barr who was one of House managers that prosecuted Clinton in the impeachment trial.

VSimple logic would indicate that selfish and un-deserving billionaires should be rounded up and shot with "assault rifles" and their assets conficated for the common good.  After all, fair is fair, and it's for the children.

I'd like to recall the first notorious university shooting in 1966, at the University of Texas (my Alma Mater). Ironically, once the shooting began, many casualties were likely avoided because local civilians pinned him down with their own firearms, including students (!) bringing their rifles from their dorm rooms (!!!). To top off this ironic cupcake, this event spurred LBJ to push for the first gun control legislation. Yet at no point in the history of gun legislation would the law have kept Mr. Whitman (an ex-Marine with no felony record) from getting the shotgun and deer rifle. It does, however, keep students from storing hunting equipment in their dorm rooms.

<Karacter>

Wonderful idea Mr. Bloomberg! Should the airlines attempt to defy your The People's© wishes, we will sue them into the ground! Should they acquiesce to your demands, we will assess a multi-billion dollar fine for the Common Good® which will nearly put them in bankruptcy. Then we let CAIR sue them into the ground for not letting those who appear to be terrorists onto their planes! A win-win!

Interesting, Comrade Pavlik.  Did that incident become the impetus behind the 1968 gun control act?

I remember in high school (graduated 1979) the JROTC indoor rifle range where we could check out .22 target rifles and shoot, and one time gathering around a student in the parking lot who was showing us his '03A1 Springfield rifle.  No one fainted, no one died, no one was suspended, expelled, or coerced into undergoing sensitivity training, and the owner just drove home after school.

<KaracterOff>
In part, see Wikipedia entry here.
<Karacter>

Thank Allah those days are over. Today this student, as well as any bystanders who were encouraging this behavior (not protesting this outrage, as I am sure you were, Komissar) would be summarily shot for the Common Good^TM.  

Remember, only liscened police-state employees should have the right to use guns; The People^TM are too stupid to use operate them themselves.

  
(To get even more off topic) I love the ad at the top of the page:

It appears google also mistakes communists for Democrats---oops!

I think we need airplane free zones.



We know how well gun free zones worked at Northern Illinois University and Virginia Tech.

(Blogunov smites forehead with shovel to get back in karakter - CLLLAAAAAaaannnnnnggg)

You are most correct, Comrade Pavlik.  The very memory of armed citizens in those chaotic days still makes me break out in sweaty chills.  The only thing worse than an armed citizenry is a pair of state child breeders imagining they have the right to educate "their" children.  But praise be to Lenin!  The progressive state of California has now declared that homeschooling without state credentials is against the law.  Glorious.  ¡Viva la revolución!

*sigh*

It took us so long to catch up with Germany...  So when’s the California Autobahn going in?  Yeah, I know that this state's already gone bankrupt, but come on, when's that ever stopped overspending?

Yes, we all know that the state is more important than the family. You see, I was the first child hero of the Soviet Union, as I turned in my family for selfishly hoarding goods so that we wouldn't starve (our starvation was, of course, for the Common Good). How capitalistic and selfish for peasant farmers to eat the food they grow! Just as it is selfish for a family to teach "morality" to their own children, particularly when it is not consistent with The Current Truth. May California continue on its glorious path to true communism.

Do you keep any guns in your home?  Don't worry.  You can tell me.  I'm a doctor, after all...

<Karakter_Off>
The question should be "How closely do you keep the weapons in your home?"

On my nightstand sits a Smith & Wesson .357 "Highway Patrolman" Revolver, loaded and ready. Behind the bedroom door stands a 12-gauge coach gun, also loaded. Nearby - down the hallway, about 8 steps - is the gun cabinet where I keep my tactical shoulder holster, which holds my Ruger 9mm P89 pistol, loaded with hollow point ammunition. These are my home defense weapons.

And then there are the various hunting rifles and collectibles. I won't bore you with a list, but suffice it to say I'm one of those "gun nut" types. And damn proud of it.

If someone invades my home in the middle of the night - and gets past the 80 lb dog - I have 8 shots to fire in the 8 steps it takes to get to the gun cabinet. Then all Hell will break loose.

On a side note: I went to the gun range with a friend last summer, and wore my 9mm, holstered, on the way there. We stopped and had lunch at a local restaurant, and they had one of those outdoor type areas to sit and eat, where we proceeded to, well, sit, and my buddy got all nervous and asked, "Aren't you gonna keep that [the gun] in the car?"

Hell no was my response. There is not one law (in my state at least) that says I can't carry around a gun. As long as I'm not sticking it in anyone's face, it's not a problem. I'm just having lunch. And I'll bet you a thousand bucks that if something went down at that restaurant, I would be everyone's best buddy.

We all have the RIGHT to keep and bear arms - don't ever forget that.

Doctors to Spy on Patients' Gun Ownership

I knew I was getting sucked into something with that question...

Yeah, Doctors Against Handgun Injury. I've heard of them before - but thanks for the link. Is there anyone who's for handgun injury, by the way? That would never fly around here - I actually hunt with a doctor. I think he likes guns more than me...

(Pinkie off)

While socializing recently with a group of other mothers, the subject came up about the questions we get asked every time we take a child to the pediatrician, which often have nothing to do with why the child is there.  Do you have an age appropriate child safety seat installed in the car, are there any smokers in the home, and most recently . . . are there any guns in the home?

Being in Florida, we're also asked if we have a swimming pool. (No)  

Funny, they've never asked about alcohol, illegal drugs or porn.  Nor are they interested in how I store/secure medications and housecleaning products.

I'd be more impressed if you went hunting with a lawyer, shot him in the face, and then didn't get sued.  Now that's real power that even The Party^TM can envy...

<Karakter_Off>
I got the same guns-in-the-home question from my son's pediatrician (a Hahvahd med school instructor) about 5-6 years ago, but I was ready with my answer given that I was an avid NewsMax reader at the time.  That being said, he was better than The Peoples' pediatrician, Dr. Moses, provided to us by the Center for People's Health Care at the Mass Institute of Taxation.  Dreglocks and nose ring, need I say more?  Well, actually I do.  I withstood the suggestions to keep my child off of milk and to use cloth diapers.  What finally sent me running for a new doctor was when she told me to give my year-and-a-half old son time alone whenever he touches and grabs at his "thing" because he's really masturbating (I totally kid you not).  Yeah, sure.  Be sure not to make a reminder call for another appointment...

Coming soon to a doctor's office near you: "Do you keep any pressure washers in your home?"  

Vigilante Strikes Back at Neighborhood Punks

First that woman who sprayed her toddler in the Orlando car wash, and now this.  We need a ban on these things!

Doctor;

I submit that this gun ought to be distributed to all liberals, government employees and other progressive to prove to them that guns don't kill, only stupid people kill!



By the way Doctor, how's "Slim?"


STRIVE FOR MEDIOCRITY!

<kharakter_off>
If only it were that simple, but I'm afraid the libs wouldn't touch the gun, even though it would solve many of our social problems.  I think a better solution would be to send them all on a hunting trip with Cheney (or Kalashnikov) where we tell them ahead of time that they can vent all of their frustrations about the wars against the "kite flying children" of the Middle East.

Cheney is obviously an avid reader of Shakespeare.

BTW, only stupid people kill?  Mikhail, you're not going to take that sitting down, are you?!  ATALLSTOLI says when your done that he takes "slim."

Yes, Komissar.  We need more studies to find the actual numbers to match our predetemined outcome and more household items to ban.  As a doctor, I would like to propose a new study on frisbee violence.  You know, it's all fun and games until somebody gets their eye poked out.

Also, we need to boycott Big Grocery until their is equality in the distribution of white and brown eggs.  I'd like to call this policy "affirmative eggtion."  (OK, that was bad, but I couldn't help it.)

Condoms for The Children.^TM

The true victims of egg violence are the cute baby chicks!  Fluffy little yellow darlings that go "peep-peep-peep"--what could be more adorable?  What could possibly tug harder at your heart?     

Every time you go into the henhouse to collect eggs, you are taking cute baby chicks away from their mothers before they even have the chance to hatch!  Before hen and chick have the chance to develop that oh-so-special bond that exists only between hens and chicks!  

When you buy a carton of eggs, you are engaging in the trafficking of cute baby chicks.  

And every time you crack one of those eggs and dump the contents, whether it's into a frying pan or in a mixing bowl with beaters at the ready . . . you are slaughtering cute baby chicks in the most violent, cruel, inhumane way possible!       

How would you like to be fried "sunny side up" in a skillet?  Or scrambled?  Or poached?  Or baked into a cake?  How would you like to be "hard boiled" only to have your innards chopped up and mixed with mayonnaise and perhaps mustard, then crammed back into your hardened skin, sprinkled with paprika, and served at a picnic?  There's a reason they call that "deviled." Just because Bush does all that stuff to the detainees at Gitmo, doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to his level and do it to the innocent, cute baby chicks!

Do you think just because they don't look as cute and fluffy inside their shells as they do once they've been hatched for more than a day, that it makes them any less of a chick?  That just because they scarcely resemble a chick at such an early stage, that it makes them "not a chick", and that they can't feel pain?

How do you know the hens do not grieve for the loss of their baby chicks?  Have you ever asked them?  I didn't think so.  

Keep your laws out of my body, and use them to save the cute baby chicks instead.

Commissarka,

"Chick" is so sexist.  In the future, please refer to them as either young chicken Americans of eggshell origin or The Peeps.^TM

End the slavery of poultrykind:  burn down a car dealership!

Pinkie -

Another point for you. Reading that made me want to drop everything I was doing, log on to the PETA site and post your text on their forum if they have one. But I restrained myself because I'm still not finished with my taxes.

I intend to pay twice the required tax just because I support the idea of higher taxes. Acting on my progressive principles must start somewhere - and this year it starts with throwing my own cash into the government burners - as an additional drop of fuel to advance progress. It warms my heart to think that it will be used to hire another affirmative action worker whose skills and attitude would never have allowed him/her/it to survive in the heartless private sector. Take that, Geraldine Ferraro!

Dr. Strangelove -

The official term you're looking for is the Egg-Americans and the Chicken-Americans, who will soon receive their long-overdue democratic voting rights. The Party is working on it.

"Chicken-Americans."  Isn't that rather Speciesist, Red?  Perhaps we should use the term "Poultry-Americans."  This would bring in all of our fine feathered comrades regardless of beak design or foot-webbing.  We wouldn't want anyone accusing us of trying to duck the issue; were we to do so, our goose would be cooked.  (Honk if you love waterfowl!)

Along these lines, which came first, the Chicken-American or the Egg-American?  (This fowl humor is infectious.)

What about "Persons of Poultrykind" in addition to Poultry-Americans?  I feel the longer name shows more sensitivity.

Chickens are people too!

Comrade Red Square,

This is, of course, a most excellent idea.  The Party^TM will surely lock in the vote of the oppressed minority poultry block.  Soon, we will win sweeping victories in every election and challenge the occasional loss by divining the intentions of the hanging clucks and dimpled bocks.

Q:  If a rooster is on the exact vertex of a gabled roof and lays an egg, which candidate did it vote for?

A:  The democrat because he/she/it will be more likely to support taxpayer-funded gender reassignment operations and programs for transsexual, transendered, and gender-confused poultry that allow roosters to lay eggs.

Might I suggest "Avian-Americans?" That would be far more inclusive, and no bird of any kind will feel excluded. We can even use the following graphic for the avid voter bloc:

And let us not forget the Porcine-Americans who also have all voting rights:

This is nice, Comrade Mikhail, but I believe the logo you created for the Porcine-Americans is already being used by the Capitalist Party...

Oh yes, I believe you are right...


-Mikhail

Please!  Please, most prestigious Comrade Gunmaker!  Lest any doubts be cast upon me in the all-seeing eye of The Party^TM and I be sent to Siberia for physical therapy, I hope you meant to say that I am "correct."  With regards to the other thing, be there no confusion, I am clearly "left!"

This is offensive and insensitive to members of the Religion of Peace, to whom you obviously intend to do harm for no good reason.  

Oh, my! Here I was trying to be more inclusive, and I offended an entire cult creed!


I hereby categorically denounce, reject, repudiate, renounce, and disavow both of the above statements. Besides, I wasn't there when I made them, and had not personally heard those comments. These are a series of incendiary remarks that I can't object to strongly enough.

I liken myself to an "old uncle" who will sometimes say things I don't agree with.
-Mikhail

I agree that in most cases, that the longer the term the more politically correct it sounds, yet I can't shake off the feeling that the best sounding term in this case is Fowl-Americans. It works in so many progressive ways!

What about the "Free Range" chickens that used to roam the countryside? After the landgrab revolution and all rangeland is FREE for The People<sub>^tm we will again be witness to the large herds of chickens living in the wild - before that awful Cololel came along!
