Democratic Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, Kasim Reed, who needs to check his facts:
“Both President Bush and President Obama have kept this country safe.”
Did anyone feel safe on September 11, 2001? Me neither.
Let’s ask the thousands who were killed that day if they felt safe. Oh that’s right. We can’t.
How about all those embassy attacks on Bush’s watch?
Did the families and friends of our troops feel safe during the fraudulent war in Iraq that BushCo lied us into?
Did America feel safe opening their mail after the anthrax attacks?
How safe did we feel when Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, and the rest of their little gang used fear tactic after fear tactic to scare an entire country into submission? Shock Doctrine, anyone?
Did their use of torture (an illegal practice that doesn’t work) soothe you to sleep at night?
Come to think of it, did any of us feel safe and secure when so many people lost their jobs after BushCo started a major recession?
Just asking.
Here is the entire segment:

Another L.A. Times letter to the editor, because our voices matter:
Re “GOP bill proposes arming teachers,” Jan. 31
Following the 9/11 attacks, pilots were allowed to carry guns in the cockpit. Now some California Republicans want teachers to be armed. Who is next? Have we become totally unhinged?
In New Zealand, even police officers usually don’t carry guns. They know arming themselves encourages would-be criminals to do likewise. New Zealand has more sheep than people, and we have almost as many guns as people. Maybe the Kiwis know something we don’t.

In a flashback to an older Doonesbury strip, Garry Trudeau adeptly (as if he ever creates a strip INeptly) noted, with his usual dry irony, two sets of facts: One, that after 3000 Americans were killed right here in the U.S. of A., some swaggered and beat their chests and acted all rough and tough by starting a fraudulent war that cost us trillions; and two, that after 270,000 Americans were killed by firearms right here in the U.S. of A., some swaggered and beat their chests and acted all rough and tough by hiding behind the Second Amendment in order to weaken gun laws.
