Moore Sandy Hook:
......”I believe someone in Newtown, Connecticut—a grieving parent, an upset law enforcement officer, a citizen who has seen enough of this carnage in our country—somebody, someday soon, is going to leak the crime scene photos of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. And when the American people see what bullets from an assault rifle fired at close range do to a little child’s body, that’s the day the jig will be up for the NRA. It will be the day the debate on gun control will come to an end. There will be nothing left to argue over. It will just be over. And every sane American will demand action. ”......
( Photos are of Sgt. Lisa Castellano & Jeanne Assam both of whom stopped massacres.)
.....” The first picture is of Sgt. Lisa Castellano. Two days after the Newtown tragedy, Sgt. Castellano was off-duty and working security at a movie theater. A gunman walked in and began firing. She stopped the gunman after he had shot one man. The second picture is of Jeanne Assam. In 2007, Assam stopped what could easily have been the largest mass shooting in U.S. history at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. A severely deranged man, who had already killed two people at a youth mission in northern Denver the night before, entered the church with the same armament as Newtown killer Adam Lanza and began shooting. At the time, approximately 7,000 people were in the church. Assam stopped him after he had killed two and wounded three. These are the people we should be remembering, not the Adam Lanzas of the world, whose name we should all try hard to forget. But, as the saying goes, reporters don’t cover buildings that don’t burn down. After these incidents there were no Piers Morgan specials, “national conversations,” or Michael Moore blog posts. And these incidents are just two of the many times mass shooters have been stopped by responsible gun carriers, in addition to the many times responsible gun users stop more typical criminal activity. (Check out Cato’s study on defensive gun use, Tough Targets, as well as our ongoing interactive map of defensive gun use.) In his post, Michael Moore reminds us that “2,600 Americans have been killed by guns since Newtown.” I’d like to remind him that, using the lowest estimates of the number of defensive gun uses per year, guns have averted between 27,000 and 207,500 crimes in the three months since Newtown.”.......

Moore on Cuba : http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1186283/posts
Excerpts from an open letter Moore sent to Elián González on March 31, 2000, available at www.michaelmoore.com:
.......``You are being told that your mother died trying to bring you to freedom. I am so sorry to have to tell you, that's not true. The Cuban court granted your father custody of you, and your mother decided to kidnap you. She placed your life in horrible jeopardy by putting you in a leaky, overcrowded raft that eventually sank, killing everyone except you and two others. . . . The worst that could be said is that, in Cuba, you were in jeopardy of receiving free health care whenever you needed it, an excellent education in one of the few countries that has 100% literacy, and a better chance of your baby brother being born and making it to his first birthday than if he had been born in Washington, D.C.”.... . Amnesty International on Cuba

” At the end of the year, 69 prisoners of conscience continued to be held for their non -violent political views or activities. Twelve others continued to serve their sentences outside prison because of health concerns. No releases of prisoners of conscience were reported during the year. • Orlando Zapata Tamayo was sentenced to three years in 2003 on charges of showing "contempt to the figure of Fidel Castro", "public disorder" and "resistance". In November 2005 he was reportedly sentenced to an additional 15 years for "contempt" and "resistance" in prison. In May 2006, he was again tried on the same charges and sentenced to an additional seven-year term. He was serving a prison sentence of 25 years and six months. ” Before Night Falls (2000) - Movie Trailer - YouTube Dissident’s Death Ignites Protest Actions in Cuba - NYTimes.com 2010

RRD: Some may think that Moore is a hypocrite,after all "he does not care about the abuses of Castro,doesn't that make him hypocritical?" No,it makes him dishonest.
"Dishonest ?"
I do not believe that Moore is "indifferent" to the torture of political dissidents in Cuba;I think he sees Cuba as a role model for the type of totalitarian dictatorship he wishes to establish in the United States. If I am correct it would explain his fervent desire to disarm innocent people. As to Sandy Hook no I don't think that he is grief-stricken over it. A apologist for a regime that tortures political dissidents would see Sandy Hook as a godsend;and he might even get a vicarious thrill from seeing photos of murdered children. I wonder what his response would be to pictures of the Tsar's children being butchered? Envy at not being able to do it himself? Yearning? If you think that I am being "too harsh" then you still don't grasp what we are dealing with ,this man is evil & he is not alone;see below. "I had not the slightest emotional reaction [to watching the World Trade Center Towers collapse]. I thought: "This is a really strange art project." … It was a most amazing sight in terms of sheer elegance. It fell like water. It just slid, like a turtleneck going over someone's head … It was just beautiful. You can't tell people this. I'm talking to you because you're Canadian … I just felt, like, everyone was overreacting. People were going on about it. That part really annoyed me." - Elizabeth Wurtzal, author of a book called Bitch.

http://fightingstatism.posterous.com/yesthey-want-us-dead-tcot-twisters-tlot-delay My Response To Those Who Seek To Exploit The Giffords Tragedy #tcot #p2 #tlot #tpot #nomore | Glory to man in the highest http://gloryofman.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/my-response-to-those-who-seek-to-exploit-the-giffords-tragedy-tcot-p2-tlot-tpot-nomore/ No not all liberals are like this,but I am not directing my attack at all liberals. Some final thoughts: yes I do know exactly what even a 223 rem / 5:56 x 45 round will do to a child at close range.
"Even a 223 rem / 5:56 x 45 round Robert?” Yes,you see contra Moore & Feinstein the "assault rifle" rounds (e.g. 223 rem / 5:56 x 45 & 7.62 x 39) are what are known in military parlance as "intermediate level" rounds,more powerful than a pistol round but less powerful than most rifle rounds; such as standard hunting rounds like the 308 & 30-06 . In fact the only rifle rounds that are LESS powerful are the 30 carbine,the 22 hornet & 22wmr & 22lr & perhaps the 30-30. Rounds like the 5.56 were designed to have low recoil so that the soldier would be able to control the rifle in full auto mode. ( A feature missing from semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15). None of this would be of any comfort to the dead or to their loved ones who would not care what weapon was used to murder their children,but my point is that Moore & Feinstein make these "assault rifle" rounds out to be mysteriously powerful & somehow exotic & unusual ,as opposed to the "good" "normal" hunting rounds which are even more powerful & which they claim ( today) that they do not want to outlaw. In fact it is ILLEGAL to hunt even whitetail deer with the 223rem, not because it is too powerful but because it is regarded as being not powerful enough to kill the animal humanely. The military itself advises our soldiers to shoot their enemies two times in the chest & once or twice in the head with follow up shots as necessary. There have been anecdotal reports of enemy combatants continuing to fight after being shot FOUR times in the head. And one more thing: the effect of a 5.56x45 is the same when the bullet is fired by someone who serves in the military as when it is fired by someone WHO DOES NOT. Indeed I would estimate that the number of children killed in Iraq,by American Soldiers ( though unintentionally) dwarfs the number of those killed in school shootings. For that matter the number of disarmed civilians butchered by their own governments dwarfs the number of those killed in school shootings.
A weapon is neither good nor evil,the person using it is.
Those who profess concern for human suffering cannot evade the fact that the greatest atrocities in human history have been carried out by those with a legal monopoly on the use of force in general & guns in particular;far from being archaic,the view that a disarmed citizenry is in danger from its own government has been horrifyingly bourne out by the ”Totalitarian Century”.
