Misanthropic? Me? Inconceivable. points out that Phoenix (AZ) Mayor Greg Stanton is a member of MAIG – Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a gun control group founded by that champion of personal liberty, NYC Mayor MICHAEL BLOOMBERG!
You remember him? The guy who just banned large sugary fountain drinks in New York City, who previously banned salt, trans-fats and smoking. That famous individual rights guy…
Some folks on the Internet call the group Illegal Mayors Against Guns. Go to their website and draw your own conclusions. It is an interesting factoid that august members of this group have bigger rap sheets than the firearm-carrying public! And they try to keep this under wraps!
“I’m shocked!”
Oh, by-the-way, Tucson (AZ) Mayor Jennifer Eckstrom is also a member. Quelle surprise. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
I wonder if if city tax dollars are paying for a funded liaison to the group, as in other member cities?

If you dig a little deeper you’ll find that many of the names on this list never actually joined it themselves, just had their names hijacked. Many others have been acquainted with the truth of it all and have withdrawn their names.
True to form, Bloomturd doesn’t give a fig about truth or facts… let alone anyone else’s rights.
What I still find hard to believe is that this putrid pile gets elected to anything. How does he manage it? I absolutely don’t believe the average New Yorker is that dumb…

It would be nice if the Phoenix mayor’s name had been misappropriated – but I doubt it. Sounds like his kind of policy crap.
As for Tucson, well, I’m not surprised there, either.
This state used to have politicians named Goldwater.
No more.

Who knows why?
Posted by guffaw1952 | October 5, 2012, 9:35 amI know! I nearly choked to see Californians re-elect Jerry Brown, of all people. But I suspect he would be run out on a rail fast if he dared to dictate what people ate and drank there.
None of them give a fig for truth or facts… but not too many do things that would imperil their own sweet hides. And those who do seldom get away with it. Bloomturd is fairly unique in that category – though Obummer seems to be on the same wavelength.
Posted by MamaLiberty | October 5, 2012, 9:51 amIronic, isn’t it, that Claude Rains was a sharpshooter?
Posted by ProudHillbilly | October 5, 2012, 11:16 amI didn’t know that! Very cool!

Posted by ProudHillbilly | October 6, 2012, 1:48 pmWow! Thanks.
Posted by guffaw1952 | October 6, 2012, 4:50 pmI’d bet that liaison IS being paid for with your tax dollars, and probably DEEPLY buried in the budget… Just sayin…
