Michael Bloomberg Really is Arrogant

Michael Bloomberg has always been a power-hungry tyrant but his acts could always be written off with the standard "trying to do the right thing" schtick. But a an article about Michael Bloomberg's continuing push for gun control his arrogance really showed:

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.”

I may not be the more educated man when it comes to Christianity but most of the people I know who identify as Christians don't believe that they will be fast tracked into Heaven. Usually they state something along the lines of "When I die I will be judged by God. I only hope that I lived a life worthy of entering his kingdom."

Mind you this doesn't surprise me. The man is obviously a tyrant who believes he alone knows what is best for everybody else. But most tyrants are smart enough to keep their arrogance somewhat low-key.

As for his push for more gun control, whatever. He managed to rule New York City with an iron fist and an overtly violent police force. But his track record on pushing for gun control elsewhere has been lackluster. I don't see him being able to single-handedly overcome the entire gun rights movement. After all, pride goeth before the fall.
