The Blame Game

Finally, we have one Hollyweird celebrity willing to come out and say so publicly. A recent “Real Time” with Bill Maher’s monologue gave a scathing indictment that Hollyweird has a significant responsibility regarding the cause of gun violence in America. [More]

Funny. I’ve seen all kinds of screen violence over a lifetime and I’ve never let it influence me to commit an act of violence. Ditto with my wife, our sons, our extended families, our friends…

I wouldn’t be turning to Maher for any kind of special insights or wisdom. Even though he pretends to have an intellect worth heeding, the smug little media rodent  ain’t half as perceptive or smart as, say, Mr. Adams in his address to the Massachusetts Militia:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

A Preemptive Strike

Never mind that his focus is on gun control, when he never even asks the question, “How could John Adams carry his “peece” to school with him and there was no violence, and we can’t get a handle on gangland?” He never asks root cause questions such as, “Have we created this problem ourselves by government programs eviscerating the family unit? Will we ever end the violence with gun control if access to firearms isn’t the cause of the problems?” [More]

That’s something Adams was well aware of:

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

I wonder if Blocher has read Pynchon
