The president’s words on the South Carolina shooting were absent any real call for healing, or even time to process. Instead he demeaned those who believe in the fundamental right that is the 2nd Amendment, and he did so yet again by publicly stating lies:
“Once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. … We as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.”
The president is wrong – and wrong to such a degree he has to be aware of the falsehood and simply chose to ignore it.
This year there was the Charlie Hebdo massacre in France that left eleven people dead.
In 2011 in Oslo Norway, a bomber and gunman took sixty-nine lives – most of them children. Barack Obama went to the Norwegian embassy and signed his condolences after the tragedy. Apparently just a few years later he had forgotten all about it.
Two years ago in Germany a student murdered sixteen, most of them fellow students.
Last year in China two men killed twenty-nine others at a railway station.
There other similar examples too that are found throughout the world. (If you wish to include Muslim countries, the mass violence count rises exponentially.)
Barack Obama outright lied. It is hardly the first time he has done so, particularly if that lie attempts to put the United States in a poor light. He appears to prove the long-held belief by some (and now many) that he simply does not like the historical traditions, the power, nor the influence of this great nation. He despises that greatness and has worked to lessen it whenever the opportunity presents itself to him.
