The Sunlight Brightly Gleams

Going Mobile
After delivering a frustrated speech about gun violence in Washington D.C., President Obama traveled to Santa Monica for a fundraiser with Hollywood star Tyler Perry.

During the speech, he called for his supporters to mobilize against gun violence in order to change the current political environment that refused to act. (Breitbart.com, 6/19/2015)

Asking Hollywood to mobilize against gun violence is akin to asking heroin addicts to mobilize against smack. It is not going to happen. Hollywood is addicted to guns.

Also, write this down. At some point in the future we will learn that the South Carolina shooter was obsessed with violent video games. As are most of these mass murderers. Liberals want to make the issue about guns, but guns are not the problem. Cultural decay is the problem.


RedStateVT Responds!
Loyal Liberal reader Global View recently takes a swipe at Republicans over Obamacare and the whole "pre-existing conditions" canard. We have written about this before, but we will do it again as a public service.


It goes like this:
As long as you as a responsible citizen maintained health insurance coverage continuously, you could not be denied coverage because you had a pre-existing condition. Have health insurance through your employer, but lost your job? No problem. Under COBRA you could maintain coverage. Subsequently get a job, but your employer did not offer health insurance? No problem again. You could purchase individual health insurance in fifty states. 

You could only be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition if you did NOT maintain continuous coverage. The reason is obviously because failure to do so represented an uninsurable risk to the insurance company, i.e. if allowed, no one would buy health insurance until they got sick. 

So what Obamacare has done is to legitimize irresponsible behavior. But then again, that is what Liberals always do.
