** ** The Communist Party USA echoes President Obama's call for more gun control** ** **· ***Gun control <http://www.examiner.com/topic/gun-control>* **· ***December 17, 2012* **· ***By: Robert Elliott<http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-orlando/robert-elliott> * While most of the nation is still reeling from the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting>in Newtown, Connecticut and continues to mourn the innocent victims, others are already working to exploit<http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/12/15/Dem-Lawmaker-Obama-Must-Exploit-School-Shooting>the horrific event for political gain. After all, as President Obama's former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel>once infamously said <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mzcbXi1Tkk>, "you never want a serious crisis to go to waste" because a crisis provides an "opportunity to do things that you think [sic] you could not do before." **** This is a lesson that the president has remembered well.**** The most recent article on the Communist Party USA website<http://www.cpusa.org/sandy-hook-grieving-the-unthinkable/>quotes Obama approvingly: "As a country, we have been through this too many times. Whether it's an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago - these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children. And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."**** The article's author then writes: "[L]et us not forget that there are some who profit from the manufacturing and peddling of assault weapons, dealing in fear and offering constitutional and political cover for the unthinkable. We will continue to work for bringing the necessary coalitions together that - through common sense and a common stance - work for a culture, government and country where such tragedies and crimes are indeed unthinkable and unheard of."**** While neither the president nor the Communist Party USA<http://www.examiner.com/topic/communist-party-usa/articles>used the precise term "gun control <http://www.examiner.com/topic/gun-control>," there can be no doubt that they share the goal of placing further restrictions on the Constitutional right<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution>of American citizens to keep and bear arms. Obama has a long history of being anti-gun<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_social_policy#Gun_policy> .**** Using the mass murder of 20 small children to advance a political agenda aimed at restricting fundamental rights is simply ghoulish. President Obama, and his allies in the Communist Party USA, ought to be ashamed of themselves. **** ** ** -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
