to the leadership and effective action in the Boston terrorist attack lead by Democratic mayor Thomas Menino, Democratic Governor Deval Patrick, and of course our Democratic President Obama for the direction and assistance through the resources provided by the federal government to Boston.
What a shame that our Republican members of Congress continue to support lax gun laws that allow bad people who proceed to act as domestic terrorists to acquire arsenals of weapons that are used by terrorists against the government and people of the United States. It is a thought to hold onto when watching the news of a killing by the Aryan Brotherhood or other right wing white supremacist groups embraced by the far right, it is a thought to hold onto while watching the unfolding news of the Boston bombing.
It is a thought to hold onto the next time you hear a conservative whingeing on about who is the better protector of our citizens.
We have had fewer successful foreign and domestic attacks by terrorists under the Obama administration's policies and leadership. If the GOP and Tea Party stopped obstructing legislation that would strengthen our security, and stopped obstructing - for purely political reasons - appointments of people to head agencies like the ATF, we all would be safer, not less safe, going forward.
