Obama's Poison Spreads

Editor's note:  Below Mr. Bauer addresses the Navy Yard Assassin.  As an aside, the lame stream media reported that an AR-15 assault rifle was used by the shooter and then immediately called for more limitations on firearm's ownership.  But they had their facts 100% wrong.  The shooter entered the base with a shotgun (remember V.P Biden's comment).  He gained access to the base using his base contractor's pass with the shotgun in the trunk of his car.  Later, he apparently gained access to a pistol from a guard.  He did not have an assault rifle as the liberal media continued to report and was a basis for their renewed cry for more limitations on firearm ownership.  This time even Fox News got it wrong by reporting what they heard form the other media knuckleheads.  This is what the public gets when the uninformed media anchors attempt to be first to inform us about situations on which they only have second or third hand knowledge while acting like they the expert on the reported situation.

Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Barack Obama regularly pushes the limits of his authority to get around Congress. On several occasions, his aggressiveness has been checked by the courts, but that hasn't deterred him.

Some have compared the way Obama manages the presidency to what one would expect from a Latin American strongman rather than a president of a constitutional republic with a well-established system of checks and balances. Unfortunately, there is evidence that this heavy-handed style of leadership is spreading throughout the Democrat Party.

This week Terry McAuliffe, the Democrat candidate for governor in Virginia, was caught on tape promising to issue an executive order allowing abortion centers that could not comply with new health and safety standards to stay open. McAuliffe is suggesting he'd keep filthy abortion mills open regardless of the law.

He has learned well from Barack Obama. He is also a close ally of Hillary Clinton. And if she wins in 2016, I guarantee we will be fighting another administration filled with contempt for state and federal constitutions.

The national media will be watching the Virginia elections very closely to see if Democrats can turn this "purple" swing state dark blue, and for any clues about voter turnout in next year's critical mid-term elections.

If Clinton crony Terry McAuliffe wins, I promise you Big Media will claim Democrats have the momentum going into 2014, which might demoralize conservative voters around the country.

Campaign for Working Families is doing everything we can to defeat Terry McAuliffe, and to make Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's pro-life, pro-family attorney general, the next governor of the Old Dominion.

Navy Yard Assassin "Not Happy With America"
We are learning more about the Washington Navy Yard assassin, Aaron Alexis. According to Kristi Suthamtewkal, for whom Alexis worked last year, "He was tired of dealing with the government." Alexis told her that he was "ready to move out of the country." If only he had.

Suthamtewkal added that Alexis "felt a lot of discrimination and racism with white people especially." "He did have the tendency to feel like people owed him something all the time," she said.

He was owed something? Where could he have gotten that idea from? Sounds a lot like the class warfare rhetoric and the politics of resentment that have become a center piece of the political left.

Another former friend of Alexis, Michael Ritrovato, told CNN, "Aaron wasn't conservative like I am. He was more of a liberal type; he wasn't happy with the former [Bush] administration. He was more happy with this [the Obama] administration."

So far, there is no evidence linking Alexis to Islamic terrorism. But with this latest information the conclusion that most people reached yesterday -- that it was just more "work place violence" -- doesn't appear to get it right either.

Aaron Alexis didn't have a problem with a specific co-worker or boss. He had a problem with America. When he went on his killing spree, he didn't target a shopping mall or an apartment complex. He lashed out at America by targeting employees of a U.S. military base.

Alexis is not the first mass murderer with left-wing views. The Columbine killers were anti-Christian and singled out Christian students to be murdered. They followed a nihilist philosophy of life and hated America.

Remember Jared Loughner, the man who shot former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 20 other people in Tucson, Arizona? The media blamed the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh and conservatives generally for that shooting.

But Loughner was a 9/11 conspiracy nut, and described by one friend as a "left-wing pothead." He was also fond of the anti-capitalist, anti-American movie "Zeitgeist," which surely was far more popular with the Occupy Wall Street crowd than with the Tea Party.

And speaking of the Occupy Wall Street movement, polling found that a significant percentage of its left-wing supporters were willing to resort to violence to achieve their political objectives. We saw that demonstrated time and time again as supporters of this movement, praised by Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, rioted, vandalized property and amassed a lengthy criminal rap sheet.

Nevertheless, at least one liberal politician is shamelessly trying to blame conservatives for Monday's shooting. Unable to link the shooter to Rush Limbaugh or the Tea Party, Vincent Gray, Washington, D.C.'s liberal mayor, said yesterday that because of sequestration, "we somehow skimped" on security and "put people at risk." That's the liberal mindset for you: Cutting government, no matter how small the cut, puts people at risk.
