End Paragraph

But if he senses that he may not have as much time left as he would like, he has little doubt about what would await him at a Judgment Day. Pointing to his work on gun safety, obesity and smoking cessation, he said with a grin: “I am telling you if there is a God, when I get to heaven I’m not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close.”

50 million of Bloomberg’s dollars won’t come close to countering a few minutes of video of armed BLM thugs threatening to gun down American citizens on behalf of Harry Reid last weekend.

Go ahead pal, waste all the money you want. Your side has already lost the PR war.

Wow, no arrogance there, (sarcasm)

So, if there is a God, IF, then Bloomberg knows he’s going right in.

Why didn’t he mention his support of homosexual marriage as one of the keys to his admittance to heaven? Why only mention smoking and guns and obesity?

Will God give him a pass because he wanted to ban big gulps? Really????

Gee, when people gathered together to create the Tea Party Movement, it was called "astroturf."

When Bloomberg spends $50 million, it's "grass roots."

Go figure.

What an arrogant statement!!! IF there is a God, I'M NOT stopping. I've EARNED my place....

Just WOW. I guess he never heard the one about the rich man going through the eye of the needle before he'd get into heaven.

NRA members feel more strongly about stopping violence than most of the gun grabber types.

Good news. He does not have to wait to be interviewed. He won’t be going to heaven.

I think that most of the law abiding citizens in Americas largest inner city communities would agree.

After recent events I wouldn’t place my bets if I were you, Mr. Bloomberg. I think people were awakened as to the very reason we need our weapons.
