Bloomberg on his liberal advocacy: ‘I’ve earned my place in heaven — it’s not even close’

Say what you will about former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but don’t you dare accuse of him of being modest.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that Bloomberg plans to spend $50 million of his estimated $31 billion fortune this year to combat the National Rifle Association. Speaking of his advocacy of liberal causes like gun-control and preventing New Yorkers from enjoying “Big Gulp” sodas, Bloomberg told the Times, reportedly 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,” he went on. “I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close.”

In pursuing his self-professed heavenly mission to fight gun rights, Bloomberg says he plans to be ruthless in opposing politicians who refuse to fall in line on the issue.

sincere on this he would spend at least 10% or around 3 billion on this. This is just pocket change to this former republican. He is still just doing an AstroTurf campaign that will not work. A billionaire with w few hundred thousand followers compared to a hundred million firearms owners.

He thinks he has an "E-Ticket" to heaven or anywhere else he decides to go.

With that ego, typical of gun controllers that think they are on a higher moral plane, he can probably just float in.

The funny part will be if it turns out that in the heaven Bloomberg would go to, Charlton Heston IS Moses and would put a sandal up his ass.
