Birds of a Feather Mike Bloomberg?

Bad News for Mayor Mike: Record low 26% of Americans favor handgun ban

A just released Gallup poll reveals that as New York City's whiny voiced and increasingly obnoxious mayor goes, the American people do not...

PRINCETON, NJ -- A record-low 26% of Americans favor a legal ban on the possession of handguns in the United States other than by police and other authorized people. When Gallup first asked Americans this question in 1959, 60% favored banning handguns. But since 1975, the majority of Americans have opposed such a measure, with opposition around 70% in recent years.

 

More to the point however is that there is mounting evidence that New York's strict no carry law is having its entirely predictable result. From 2009 - 2010, New York City's murder rate rose 15% while the the nation's murder rate declined by 6%. So far 2011 looks like its gonna be yet another banner year for the bad guys in New York City. "[T]hus far in 2011, the number of shooting victims in the city is slightly higher than during the same period last year. And during a weeklong period earlier this month, the number of people shot there rose 154 percent over the 2010 tally." NRA-ILA

But of course those terrible numbers couldn't possibly be attributable to Mayor Mike; rather all fault will lie with you evil knuckle dragging gun owners out there who are simply too stupid to grasp the indisputable truth of the deity instilled brilliance of Lord Bloomberg. After all, he was right about the Times Square would be bomber's ethnicity and motivations before he was wrong about them. OK, Snark off.

IMHO Mike Bloomberg has developed into a full blown narcissist during his years as mayor. Purportedly, one of the biggest problems shrinks have in treating narcissists is that the disorder appears to completely block the patient's ability to see possibilities outside of his/her own very narrow view of reality. That trait apparently makes successful treatment of the disorder nearly impossible.

MIKE BLOOMBERG PULLS 180 DEGREE TURN ON POSSIBLE HOMEGROWN TERRORIST'S MOTIVES; WELL NOT REALLY...

Much has been written by my fellow bloggers about Shahzad and his thankfully incompetently executed bomb plot, so I will only touch on it peripherally, specifically in the context of how it was played by obnoxious Mayor-for-Life, Michael Bloomberg.

After learning that ICE, FBI and Police had arrested the Pakistan born Shahzad for the plot, Bloomberg said: "We will not tolerate any bias or backlash against Pakistani or Muslim New Yorkers."

Fine as far as it goes, but it seems Bloomie has an astonishingly short memory, in as much as only the night before he opined on Couric's broadcast that it was as likely as anything that it was a homegrown terrorist "angry at the health care Bill" who was responsible for the attempt.

Now the little twerp seems to suggest people angry at the Health Care Bill might also be angry enough at Shahzad that they would inappropriately target innocent Muslims and/or Pakistanis.

Note to Mikey: If you read this, try to grasp this single simple concept - Just because a great many people around the country oppose Obama's controlling agenda and are angry at both him and you alike for your control-freak propensities and political ambitions, it doesn't mean that we are unable to channel that anger appropriately and take it out on you and your political kin at the proper time and place; specifically in November at the ballot box.
