Even Piers Morgan doesn’t believe the shit said by Piers Morgan
This video of freshly eyebrow-waxed-with-enough-tv-make-up-to-make-the-eyebrow-wax obvious Ben Shapiro schooling Piers Morgan is telling. If you watch it, it’s clear that even Morgan doesn’t believe the shit he’s shoveling. He’s disinterested in his own argument, his eyes are lazy and not in the fight, and he’s trying to appear strong even though he is weak. I’m a poker player and I’d move all in against Morgan were this a poker game.
The key exchange for me is this:
Morgan: One of the great right wing presidents of our time agreed with me.
Shapiro: So?
Good. Reagan was a lot of things in peoples’ imaginations but not the right wing God folks hold him out to be. I mean, next thing you know, good ol’ conservatives are going to me saying some gun control is good. Like Shapiro.

Ronald Reagan was great in many ways but his positions on gun control were not among them.

Any politician who doesn’t trust you with the guns of your choice isn’t to be trusted. That’s because his or her understanding of, or more importantly, attitude toward the Constitution and Bill of Rights is fundamentally flawed. The politician is an EMPLOYEE working UNDER “delegated powers”. And the Federal Gov’t only has “delegated power” for “governing such part of (the militia)which may be EMPLOYED in the service of the United States” (Article I, Section 8.16). Therefore ALL Federal gun laws which in any wa are infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms” are unconstitutional and UNLAWFUL.

The reason Ol’ Ronnie is considered “right” is because EVERYONE else was to his left…..they were that bad. His heart was in the right place..but, gun control was one of his problems.

The only thing Piers Morgan cares about is ratings. Our reaction to his last in the ratings show got him exactly what he wanted: viewers. As the great self promoter Gene Simmons once said: I don’t care what you say about me, just as long as you spell my name right. I suspect ol’ Piers AND Alex Jones grabbed a celebratory beer after their interview to marvel at all the new listeners/viewers they would each get.

We need Ben Shapiro in front of the camera more often as the voice of reason on our side. He handled that exchange fabulously.

Good to hear someone else recognize Reagan was not all that and a bag of chips. He gave us the war on drugs and the Brady bill. More style than substance.

I could only watch half of that exchange because I kept getting so pissed off at Shapiro. He gave way to much. And we should Give Them Nothing. He gave them the “assault weapons” term as accurate. He have far too much wrt. mental health checks. (I have no doubt that when the anti-liberty fetishists bring that up that what they *want* is a psyche eval just to buy a gun.)

Depends upon the substance. He was outfreakingstanding in other areas.

Shapiro has already met them more than halfway. Universal background checks? Database of all gun owners (no more having to pretend to erase it after NICS)? Allowing the left to define terms (for example in the case of so called “Assault Weapons”)
Is this the best we’ve got?

@Gary Foster – One point, Nixon started the war on drugs.
January 14th, 2013 at 5:55 pm
Probably not, but it’s the best the MSM will let on the air.

When he brought up Regan’s position on banning assault rifles and the quote about ‘statistics prove..’, I so wanted Shapiro to point out that this is also the guy who thought drug prohibition would dry up the supply. It hasn’t, it won’t. Prohibition as policy does not work. Regan was a great many things, but he certainly had a statist streak to him that in hindsight not many are proud of.

Morgan just want’s ratings. That is all that matters.
As long as controversy brings him ratings he would argue for kiddie porn. That is just the kind of guy he is.
