A SENATE OF EUNUCHS


Beg your pardon to certain women of the Senate, and FOUR republicans, and no disrespect to decent Eunuchs.
A eunuch (pron.: /ˈjuːnək/; Greek: Ευνούχος) is a man who (by the common definition of the term) may have been castrated, typically early enough in his life for this change to have major hormonal consequences. Eunuchs would probably be servants or slaves who, because of their function, had been castrated, usually in order to make them reliable servants of a royal court where physical access to the ruler could wield great influence (NRA, gun manufactures, lobbyist, etc.).  
With shouts of "Shame on you!" echoing in the chamber, the U.S. Senate failed to muster sufficient support Wednesday for a gun-buyer background check bill crafted by the bipartisan duo of Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and which is supported by nearly 90 percent of Americans.
Senate Republicans, backed by rural-state Democrats, blocked legislation Wednesday to tighten restrictions on the sale of firearms. The background check measure commanded a majority of senators, 54-46, but that was well short of the 60 votes needed to advance. Forty-one Republicans and five Democrats sided together to scuttle the plan.
Meet the "Nos" who support needless murder and death.
 
Four Democrats broke with their party and voted against the amendment, assuring that the measure would come up short of the 60 votes needed for passage. Three of those lawmakers — Sens. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Max Baucus of Montana, and Mark Begich of Alaska — face competitive re-election races in deep-red states next year. The fourth, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, was elected to her first Senate term in 2012.
Among Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Mark Kirk of Illinois, John McCain of Arizona and Pat Toomey, sided with Democrats. THEY SHOULD ALL BE AWARDED “PRESIDENTIAL MEDALS OF FREEDOM” FOR THAT. And John McCain you proved you are a “big-swinging” maverick!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a supporter of the plan, switched his vote to the prevailing "no" side to “permit him to call for a revote in the future” (cough, cough).
I ask each of the 41 Republican's and 5 Democrat's who voted against this plan, how they would have voted had it been their children or grandchildren who were killed mercilessly at the Sandy Hook travesty? I also say that the blood of future Americans who are killed senselessly are on YOUR hands. It is as if wish death on the innocent.
Senators meet those whose blood you have on your hands.
 
 
Would gun background checks solve all of the problems.....obviously not; but it would be a step in the right direction. Doing nothing makes no sense and says that the lives of the dead are meaningless.
As for assault-style rifles and high capacity ammunition, it makes no sense why anyone but our military needs them. Also gun manufactures make a lot of money by selling fear and weapons of mass destruction.
So today, the “noble” club of 100 Senators proved that they have no self-worth; that they are but mere puppets to their masters; and, that, sadly they lack “the balls” to do anything meaningful and worthwhile. Our founding fathers are crying in their graves (along with the innocent victims for which the Senators showed no remorse or care).
Obama's anger was apparent during his remarks, which were given as families of shooting victims and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) -- a shooting survivor -- stood behind him. "All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington," Obama said.
Obama spoke on the failed measure Wednesday evening in the White House rose garden. He took to the podium after Mark Barden, the father of a Newtown victim. Obama placed blame on the gun lobby during his remarks. "The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill," Obama said. The president said the failure of the background check bill "came down to politics;" Republican Eunuchs doing as they are told by their masters.
 
One of the bolder eunuch, Paul Rand, had the temerity to say that Obama was using the Sandy Hook parents as “props; “although he seemed to have no issue with using the children as target practice. President Obama called out Paul on his tasteless comment about the parents being used as props and said to Paul, " really ? Really you believe I would do that ?" As Paul Rand has no problem with children dying, I assume he thinks everyone is as crass as he.

  1. Wow! That is the most powerful article I have yet to read about the vote.

    The combination of the pictures of the Senators and the victims is very emotional. Shame on them, but they have none.

    Amazing article.

  2. Shame on the Senate for making GUNS easier to be in the hands of the paranoid, gun loving Americans. Didn't 90% of Americans backing universal background checks mean anything? No, the GOP-TARDS butts are owned by the NRA and Gun Manufacturers. They bend over and take it for $$ and votes from ignorant fear filled American Idiots who think the NRA are on their side. No folks, you have been duped by executives like Wayne LaPierre, who don't care about you. They get richer, YOU get poorer.

  3. So many people say Obama is doing nothing to help stop gun violence. They are mistaken. President Obama is fully committed to this. Obama can't put the a gun to the heads of weak politicians that make choices based on getting re-elected or whom fear the NRA. Like Obama has said over and over, " Only we the people can make change happen by writing our congressman and demanding change." If 90% of Americans back the background checks, yet it was voted against, it means citizens are just sitting back and not getting involved to demand a less violent nation with fewer guns. Pathetic.

  4. Five Democrats opposed it but four republicans supported it. That said, a 40% minority shouldn't be able to upset a majority. One can say "tyranny of the majority" but when the majority is 75% for background checks at the minimum based on polls from NRA members that's more than enough to say this should pass. Who is really running this country? 10% of the fringe rednecks and the NRA?

  5. There may be is a silver lining in this if the Dems play their cards right. With 80-90 percent of Americans wanting a logical background check law. The Dems should begin mentioning every Senate member's name that voted against this bill. 2014 is just around the corner. Get involved people!

  6. This whole thing was so predictable. First Obama offers a watered-down proposal. Then, x lobby whips the public into hysteria by distorting or lying. Finally, policy cannot get through a filibuster.

    The cycle will repeat in a month or two. Barf bag please.

  7. it's only possible because of the ignorance of the average voter. sad but true... we get exactly the government we deserve. If you sit back in your bubble and think it will fix itself on its own, you're wrong.

    The frantic white low educated Americans who are so paranoid and believe
    gun control means they become powerless, are more actively involved in politics than people who should know better.

    If it were black people buying these guns in record numbers, this debate would be flipped backwards. Racism plays a huge role in this. The racist white people don't like a black president trying to change the way they can buy guns.

    Harry Reid now has about as much integrity as Donald Trump. Who has chopped off the balls of everyone in DC?

  8. How on Earth is this the right thing? How in the name of humanity and common sense is this the right thing? People have to go through more of a background check to adopt a dog or cat than to own a gun. Something is seriously wrong with our society when the gun lobby trumps the will of the American people. Shame on the Senate. Shame on the NRA. And shame on anyone for thinking this is the "right thing." How have so many minds become so irrational? Sandra

  9. Republicans are yellow stained cowards without a spine to stand up to the extremists that run the NRA. Instead of voting and standing for something they hide behind the skirts of the filibuster. What is it they call cats? I can hear Eric Cantor meowing like a P- cat now. NRA appears to be the absolute power that corrupts.... Depressed in Denver. This vote has hit me hard. Who do we live amongst?

  10. The NRA is celebrating with champagne and blood cocktails.

  11. You do not need a musket in your house to defend yourself from the Redcoats and their Hessian mercenaries. You are a quarter of a millennium out of date. 2ND AMENDMENT is very dated document which does not speak to the issues we face today with these automatic weapons and high capacity ammo magazines. The NRA is responsible for the downfall of American Civilization.

  12. Since we have done no way to get he millions of guns already on the streets out of the wrong hands, tragically it is only a matter of time before the next mass killing by gun....

    ...or bombing by pressure cooker. It's a scary world out there. NRA says "Arm yourself."

    So the only answer to gun violence is to arm yourself???? and how exactly would that help with a pressure cooker bomb??

    The NRA fringe nuts may be behind the bombings. Maybe trying to make a point it s not just guns.

    I don't know what the solution is. We have no hope though if a background check can not even be passed.

    American political system is not working.

  13. Good article. I think they all lack balls too. Depressing news.

    ]Apparently gun rights are more important than life and safety. How and why can the NRA not be dismantled.

  14. Oh no. NO NO NO Franky! GUN RIGHTS ARE LIFE AND SAFETY, for the vast majority of law abiding citizens.

    For criminals? Well, guns are the means to take away life and safety, and criminals, by definition, don't care about Obama's laws, or anybody's - so they will get them anyway.

    For "imagined" tyrants, gun rights are enemy #1. For actual tyrants...? Well, countries with gun rights don't get actual tyrants, and won't any time soon.

  16. As a hunter and gun owner I’ll say it – guns are too easy to get in the US. Most of the guns used in the Columbine shooting came from gun shows. Al Qaeda has video out encouraging supporters to buy at guns show (no background check). Lazy too easy reporting requirements allowed the mentally ill Virginia Tech shooter to purchase guns and commit the worst single person massacre in US history. It really confounds me why some people think it’s just fine that felons and the insane can buy weapons without restriction.

    The Senators that voted against reasonable expansion of background checks are gutless and without balls like the blog points out so well.

    If they can’t pass something that 85% of Americans support. They even voted against tightening laws on gun trafficking and straw purchasers. Guess they are more concerned about the NRA’s $$$ and lobbying than they are about doing the right thing. Maybe the Bloomberg lobby group will provide a counterbalance to the NRA going forward.

    Most hunters do not share my views. Also most hunters are different than I am because I will only hunt animals on our ranch for food my family eats. We want organic meat and poultry so we get our own.

  17. I see a huge irreversible rift in American society developing stronger every day.

    One side: Most of the people, including responsible members of the NRA such as hunters (my father was an NRA member, and he would be appalled at the stance of today's NRA leadership). I do not hunt or own guns.

    The other side is a small but powerfully backed armed radical group who are to be feared as much as any armed insurgency which thinks they can take on a government and leader. Racism is a big part of this. These white boys with their big toys don't want a black president telling them laws will be tougher. They however have no problem telling the rest of American society what they do not like, for whatever reason, " Marriage is between a man and a woman." Maybe in their pee sized brain.


    These nuts see jackbooted troops behind every tree, and most of them seem to really hate our first black president, judging by the comments I've read been reading all day on main stream large sites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.

    Just paranoid boys with toys but they should be watched by the government. These are dangerous minds we should not under estimate.

    Damn shame this side of America is rearing its ugly head.

    I was all for hope and change.

  18. You lame ass liberal can't get anything accomplished even with 90% of Americans supporting the stupid background checks. Just more stupid red tape.

    Obama has not accomplished jack shit.

    A fellow gun advocate tweeted me this link asking me to check out this freaks views. I read this one shitty bunch of liberal BS to know I won't be coming back to this fuck heads queer blog. Good to see who are opponents are. Yeah I'm gonna be threatened by a guy who has a little prissy dog made for girls. I won't be back to this retards blog so don't bother replying to me.

  19. The comment above does not deserve the dignity of a response.
    Although I bet the person does come back to see if anyone does respond.

    The only part worth a response is for other readers to know just how untrue the statement about, " Obama not doing Jack shit." are.

    OK, where do I begin on how much Obama has accomplished.

    Well, he did manage to accomlish health care reform, ending one war, stock market reached an all time high, ended a economic nose dive, and is about to get marriage equality & immigration reform, that is hardly nothing whether you agree with those policies or not. And worst president since Carter firmly lays with Bush II, by any metric, economic, & entered two unpaid for wars (1 on false or worng premise costing trillions in $ & thousands of live), terrorist attacks, global relations, but what major accomplishment did he achieve? Zip, zero, nada, all the while the economy went off the cliif, while entering two quagmires of a war, and presiding over the worst terrorist attack in our nations history, all while accomlishing nothing meaningful as a president.

    Obama will be victorious with gun laws. Mid term elections will be here before we know it.

    Thank you for pointing out all of ball-less "no's" who voted against background checks. NRA= Not Rational Agenda

  20. Weak men need big dogs and weak gun laws.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It is not weak for men to want big dogs. Look up how many men have testicle implants put in their dogs sack once they have been removed. It is dude to dude compassion. Stronger gun laws are not needed for real men who obey laws. Gun owners who are law abiding citizens should have rights to any guns they want. You heard of something called the 2nd amendment? It is not the guns that kill people. THe guns are fired by psycho freaks who don't fit into society. They are the abnormal quiet ones that are usually bullied for good reason. Kids see sickness in other kids. THe odd balls need to be singled out early and put under surveillance and then we will see the killings stop. Why do liberals want to punish the good guys with guns? Answer that before you insult a gun owner with a big dog.

  22. How does a person who sounds like he is a mentally challenged person find his way to a blog like this. Nice comic relief after all of the recent tragic news. Reading someone write about putting ball implants into their dogs "sack" as normal truly gave me my first good laugh of the week. Now I forget what my comment is.

    It just came back to me.

    It is about how right the writers opinion is on the ones voting NO and how they are lacking balls. They are all the NRA'S Bitches.

  23. More people died of accidental gun deaths and suicides in 1 hour today than did in the Boston Bombings. American Terrorists are the NRA and gun manufacturers.
