False Predictions: The Credibility Of The Left Is Shot.

Would you trust someone who constantly told you that the sky was falling? How many times will you come when someone cries wolf?

And, given enough time in all fairness (years and years), since those predictions proved to be hysteria and nothing ever but political hyperbole, would you be so inclined to listen to them next time? And the next?

It’s not a matter that someday the sky will fall - it wasn’t going to. As reasonable people, we know the sky won’t fall, and press releases and speeches hysterical in tone and content won’t help the everyday issues at hand, to put it nicely and calmly.

I like to read Professor Dr. John Lott, and his recent comments point to the so-called assault weapons ban, which was so highly touted by the likes of Dianne Feinstein, Bill Clinton, Hilary and other hysterics we can now say. Gun crime didn’t change from before the ten year ban nor after for that matter. In short, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report disproves the hysterical claims about crime surge following the sunset of the ban.

Yet rapes and assaults increased. . . you guessed it: where they don’t even use guns. Funny how those officials didn’t think of the crimes of violence which do not use guns. Criminals don’t always use guns in violent crime. And criminals don’t obey laws, anyway.

As Celine Dion said recently on Larry King (and somewhat hysterically) , she’s not thinking with her head.

But it’s not all guns. The jewel in the crown of Democrat Achievement is the long-standing breeding of dependency on government, forever postponing people's reaching for the stars, a now unavoidable truth unearthed, you might say, in Hurricane Katrina.

This dependency on government is a disease with officials, not with the people, unless intentionally transmitted by kissing (Keeping It Socialist, Sam) or some other unwelcome contact. Confiscation of weapons is a move toward breeding more of that dependency on officials.

Resisting confiscation is to resist dependency. Liberals hate that. Liberals hate self-reliance.

As such, New Orleans is not an embarrassment to the Administration – it’s an indictment of dependency policies of forty years – the pride of the Democrats and their so-called compassion, exposed for what it is really all about: votes. Anger and votes. Keep them angry and dependent. It's worked for years.

It’s about time it was recognized as such worldwide. But will it be received worldwide? (Yeah, right!) Dependency policies are the S word of modern times, in a time when the world continues to trade in humanity with little respect for the U.S. and how we have abolished trading in humanity.

It proves that you cannot win on the world stage merely by setting the example: you have to actively resist.

Democrats in America trade in human tragedy. For generations, hysteria had coerced and extorted from us all our goodness, our cooperation in pity, funding and social engineering – all for nothing. No improvement for generations, only more generations of poor, destruction of families, discouragement of even forming intact families, and then when they have so little, even a confiscation now of private poverty.

Who is for this dependency and who is not?

Conservatives are slandered and harassed whenever we point to how freedom can be for all - yes, all - only to be told that it’s selling out. For generations by now, Democrats have told their constituents hateful lies to keep them poor and angry – while keeping them eligible to vote.

[It’s amazing how wealthy those speakers are. There are more billionaires and millionaires in the Democrats than in the Republicans, and who’s talking constituents out of their liberty more and more all the time? How would they know what it’s like to go to bed hungry, or to fear someone climbing in your window at night? They fear liberty because reward for self-reliance and effort is what makes all equal, and that spells no need for Liberals.]

The salvation of the nation is not more dependency, but more liberty and self-reliance, encouraged as a value. It's about dignity. Safety. Things that prove there's no need for dependency, no need for liberal extremists.

This column is not always about guns. I am for Household as the stronghold of resistance to adversity, and where some of our fellow Americans are handed powerfully effective formulas on how they can disrupt their households so that national resistance and resolve are pared down even further, still others are snuffed out before they even form them, through social policies of dependency, media pressure and lies which keep their housholds unborn in larger numbers.

Dependency. Unformed households means fewer strongholds of personal values, independence and power to resist adversity.

New Orleans is an exquisite example of this, not only in who needs a gun, but why. And not only who needs to be free to form a household, but why.

Many liberty enthusiasts ask when America will come to judge and punish the exaggerations and terribly wrong predictions of the hysterical.

I point out that the disgrace of liberal policies is here now: The Left was wrong about bans. They are wrong about crime. They are wrong about policy. And they are utterly wrong in their predictions. The disgrace is that they cannot see the future because they cannot even see and own their past and how they have contributed so much to the problem. The poor in New Orleans are a direct result of decades of failed liberal policy of dependency on government, sold over the years on hysteria and hyperbole.

How can anyone now trust Democrat hysteria anytime from now on to tell the future? How can anyone trust such extremist Democrats now to predict anything?

The Democrats have nothing to say.

Maybe for Feinstein, Boxer, Polosi, Schumer, Clinton and all the rest, that judgment is coming and their piece of sky is caving in.

That would be good for the country.
