Thursday Short Cuts

Insight: “Political tags … are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.” —Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)

Narrative fail: “San Bernardino shooting happened less than two miles from a Planned Parenthood health clinic.” —Bloomberg Business

“Your ‘thoughts’ should be about steps to take to stop this carnage. Your ‘prayers’ should be for forgiveness if you do nothing — again.” —Sen. Chris Murphy

“GOD ISN’T FIXING THIS. As latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind meaningless platitudes.” —New York Daily News front-page cover

“The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. And there are some steps that we could take, not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don’t happen as frequently — common sense safety laws, stronger background checks. And for those who are concerned about terrorism, some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can’t get on planes, but those same people who we don’t allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm and there’s nothing that we can do to stop them. That’s a law that needs to be changed.” —Barack Obama (Step one would be eliminating Islamic extremists.)

“We should never think that this is something that just happens in the ordinary course of events, because it doesn’t happen with the same frequency in other countries.” —Barack Obama (Thanks to his policies, mass shootings everywhere, like we recently saw in Paris, will increase in frequency.)

“Yo GOP, kinda hard to talk about ‘keeping people safe’ when your peeps are shooting up America.” —Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas

“Horrifying news out of #SanBernardino. Enough is enough: it’s time to stand up to the @NRA and enact meaningful gun safety laws.” —Martin O'Malley

And last… “When Robert Dear kills people, blame goes to all pro-life conservatives. When Syed Farook kills people, it’s the fault of the NRA.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor
