House Democrat REFUSES to Stand for a Moment of Silence for Vegas Victims
truth feed ^ | 10-2-17

Posted on 10/02/2017 1:15:36 PM PDT by doug from upland

Democrat congressman, Seth Moulton, defiantly announced that he WILL NOT participate in the House of Representatives moment of silence for the victims in Las Vegas.

Moulton explains his disgusting actions by saying that now is a time for action, not silence.

In truth, it’s completely disrespectful towards the victims and he should be ashamed of himself.

The Massachusetts Democrat appeared to be protesting inaction to pass gun control legislation.

Moulton also did not participate in a moment of silence in honor of the victims of the 2016 Orlando night club shooting, which killed 49 people.

In the aftermath of the Orlando attack, the Washington Post reported that Moulton had made the decision after he tweeted out that his “thoughts and prayers” were with the victims, only to be attacked by his constituents.

I belong to an international agriculture group and one of the women (from Norway) was asking about our gun laws here. One woman said that he gun used in the shootings in LV was illegal, and another woman said no, they are legal everywhere. Which is it? Just wondering.

Liberals are becoming bolder and bolder in declaring that they want all conservatives dead. For example, Pinkerton was a confirmed liberal, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Pinkerton and this degenerate Congressman regularly wrote love letters to each other.

I’d beat him hard with this. Do even liberal voters want a Congressman who hates America?

Military service does not confer immunity upon one’s political actions.

He can wave his medals at us all he wants.

I was in the Corps in the 60’s. There some Marines who were (let’s generously describe them as)...not conservative.

Wonderful opportunity to use the murders to call for seizing guns from non-violent citizens while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

A time for action? What do you suggest? These emotional crybaby snowflakes have to go.

“Dang - Bronze Star as a Marine Corps Captain”
Several alleged freepers arrogantly told us that Alejandro Villenueva is still a hero because HE has a Bronze Star, and “When did YOU serve?” if we disagree.
I suppose they should feel the same way about Seth Moulton.”

No. John McCain spent all his political capital. It can be done. I was behind the Steelers guy until he apologized. Never thought I would use “wuss” and “Ranger” in the same sentence, but... Same with this guy.

Credit for consistency even if I don’t agree.

“No. John McCain spent all his political capital. It can be done.”

As did John Glenn.

“I was behind the Steelers guy until he apologized. Never thought I would use “wuss” and “Ranger” in the same sentence, but... Same with this guy.”

Same here.

Here is the thread to which I was referring with the arrogant defense of Alejandro Villanueva by freepers AFTER he apologized (only 63 posts):

Congress has had 45 years to right the wrong of the Supreme Court abortion ruling which resulted in millions of innocent babies being murdered in this nation.

But, as a conservative, I’m fully prepared to support a broad compromise on gun control. Let’s remove half of the guns from the country. Enact gun control for half of the citizens and residents: Just outlaw Democrats from owning guns.

James Carville served in the Marine Corps as did Charles Robb...not all conservative. More so than most though and likely more so among the guys that are actually in combat.

Of course, they re-elected him, one might observe.
