An Odd Fellow in the Neoconservative Right.

Joe Scarborough is the host of MSNBC’s morning Joe. He is very well known for his “redneck” conservative views. This man has done everything in his power to push some very extreme, myopic conservative ideas through his tv shows. The views are such that can only get on the nerves of liberals out there. And the more the liberals are irritated, the more Scarborough feels fulfilled.

However, there is one issue on which the hardcore Republican agrees with most Democrats. It is the issue of gun control. When it comes to the gun control debate, this is one Neoconservative who stands far apart from his compatriots in the Republican Party.



Hear Scarborough on the negative effects of gun ownership: “A man is dead and a little girl’s life is ruined. I say this as a father of an eleven year old girl. Who would put an Uzi in the hands of a nine-year-old girl? What is wrong with these people? What is wrong with this culture? What right is advanced by doing that?”

Scarborough did not stop at so many questions. He went further to say that “there's nothing in the Second Amendment that gives kids the right to fire semi-automatics.”

 

 

 

 

 

Tom Brokaw on Gun Control.

On Thursday's "Morning Joe," Brokaw declared that the raging gun control debate reminded him of another chapter in America's history.

Thomas John "Tom" Brokaw is an American television journalist and author best known as the anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News from 1982 to 2004.

Speaking on the salient topic, the veteran broadcaster said “It reminds me a lot of what happened in the South in the 1960s during the civil rights movement. Good people stayed in their houses and didn't speak up when there was carnage in the streets and the total violation of the fundamental rights of African-Americans as they marched in Selma, and they let Bull Connor and the redneck elements of the South and the Klan take over their culture in effect and become a face of it. And now a lot of people who I know who grew up during that time have deep regrets about not speaking out."

Above picture shows the 9-year-old girl that accidentally shot her trainer. But why, in God's name, would anyone with common sense put an Uzi in the hands of a little 9-year-old?

Brokaw stated further that "Now it's time for the people who do have strong feelings, who are feeling that they can't do anything about it, to kind of band together and have something to say here."
