Recycled Crap

The more I listen to the far Left on the issue of the environment, the more I realize they don’t love the planer or the environment, they just hate human beings.

The Left daydreams about genocide, and the will use whatever argument is most convenient or prudent in the zeitgeist to justify a genocide.

From an interview with Gloria Steinem:

People argue that climate change and other issues are also feminist issues. What do we lose by broadening the meaning of the term?
“Are you kidding me? Listen, what causes climate deprivation is population. If we had not been systematically forcing women to have children they don’t want or can’t care for over the 500 years of patriarchy, we wouldn’t have the climate problems that we have. That’s the fundamental cause of climate change. Even if the Vatican doesn’t tell us that. In addition to that, because women are the major agricultural workers in the world, and also the carriers of water and the feeders of families and so on, it’s a disproportionate burden.”
This is just malthusianism recycled, again.
When Paul Ehrlich published The Population Bomb in 1968, he advocated for a one child policy, with forced abortions, and had been calling for it ever since.
This idea that humans would eventually use all of earth’s resources and starve was pushed by the likes of Ehrlich on the world in the 60’s so by 1973, Soylent Green was made of people.
But by this time there was a second green revolution, Norman Borlaug invented the first drought resistant genetically engineered crops, and won a Nobel Prize for saving a billion lives from famine.  Now China is suffering the fallout from its one child policy.
Ehrlich didn’t care about the earth.  He just hated people and wanted them to die.  Overpopulation was the justification he needed to call for the killing of billions.
Today, global warming or global climate change is the same thing.
If people like Gloria Steinem and Bill Nye really cared about the planet, they would be demanding the construction of thorium breeder reactors for energy, and building of dams and reservoirs in California to save water during the wet seasons for use in the dry seasons.
But they are not.  They just want to exercise their authority through bloodshed.
Hitler killed millions justified by eugenics popular in the early 20th century.
Stalin and Mao killed millions using collectivist economics as their justification.
Ehrlich wants to kill billions because he things there are too many people and they are suffocating the planet.
Steinem wants to kill billions because it is too warm.
All these Leftists want to do is create wanton carnage.  The only difference is the justification they use to get there.

Denying my RTKBA

The Left is going apoplectic over the fact that Ms. USA says health care is not a right, which they assure us it is.

The Left also says that if the government does not subsidize abortion providers and fund Planned Parenthood, it is denying women ther abortion rights.

To Progressives, a right not funded by the government is a right denied.

Here’s what I want. 

I have a Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. 

I want a Republican Congressman to put forward a bill for an EBT like card that I can use at any FFL for the purchase of guns and ammo.  I want at least $255 per month, which is the average monthly benefit for SNAP recipients, and should be enough to feed my IDPA habit. 

I don’t see it passing.   I just want Liberals to argue against it while Conservatives keep saying “it’s a right and if you don’t pay for it you are denying people their rights.”

Turn about is fair play.

Bad to Worse with Congress

The good news is I haven’t heard about a big Antifa attack or protest this past week.

The bad news is the trend seen in three stories from the last week.

In order of increasing seriousness.

In North Dakota, a town hall Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer, protester got “hands on” with the Congressman over the health care bill.

Republican Congressman Tom Garrett has received a number of death threats, including threats against his wife and children, as a result of the health care bill.

MONETA, Va. — “This is how we’re going to kill your wife.”

That’s the message Rep. Tom Garrett (R-Va.) said he received in a series of recent threats that targeted him, his family and even, at one point, his dog. And it’s the reason, he said, that his town hall here in this sleepy Virginia community on Tuesday night was ringed by law enforcement.

The high security presence, Garrett said later, was the result of threats that Capitol Police, state police and intelligence officials “have deemed to be credible and real.”

A woman in Tennessee recognized Tennessee Republican Congressman David Kustoff driving on the highway and tried to run him off the road.

The woman was arrested.  Since then, she has become a hero to Progressives.

 

 

The antis used to love calling gun owners insurrectionists.  We were always the threat to the public and democracy.

Yet I can’t find a story through Google of a NRA member trying to run Diane Feinstein off the road or getting handsy with Chuck Schumer.

We’re 114 days into Trump’s presidency and some on the left have begun attacking, actually physically attacking, Republican politicians.  From social media, what we’ve seen there are many more people who support this, if they don’t engage in physical violence themselves.

Again I am forced to ask, what is the end game here?  Do they think they can force Republicans in deep red districts to change how they vote  through threats?

I believe that is is such a lack of respect for our government system that they would rather destroy it if they can’t control it.

I’m just not sure if they have though about what the ultimate result of that looks like.

Homo Nonhabilis

Today we turn to the city of San Francisco.

Why?

Because when you want to study the degeneration of Liberal man in his natural habitat, you head off to San Francisco like Jane Goodall going to Tanzania.

In San Francisco, foodie hipsters have been hacking open their own hands trying to make guacamole at such a high rate of occurrence, that local ER’s have dubbed the injury “avocado hand.”

 

She’s not going to be giving any southpaw happy endings for a while.

My first thought when I saw this picture was “that had to hurt.”

My next thought was “who tries to stab something that they are holding in their hand?

In terms of safety, not stabbing something that I am holding in my hand comes right after not pointing the gun at my foot while I clear and make safe.

Then I realized something.

I have cut myself plenty of times.  My hands are a reticulation of scars of cuts and scrapes and scratches of a life using knives and tools.  I learned how to carve a steak and bone a chicken without cutting myself by cutting myself slicing a tomato.

Making the mistakes when I was young tackling small tasks taught me what not to do the hard way.  Now, as an adult, using a power saw or a handgun, the common sense on what not to do with a dangerous tool was developed by experiencing minor injuries as a child.  Seven year old me might have tried to stab an avocado pit, 34 year old me know that’s some stupid shit to do.

I was able to make the minor mistakes when I was young for two reasons.  I have been carrying a pocket knife pretty much every day since I was a Cub Scout and got my Whittling Chip, and my parents allowed me to carry a pocket knife.  From this, I developed a respect for tools and how to use them properly.

These people who are sticking knifes through their hands are skinny-jeans wearing hipsters.  These are coddled adult-children.  They have hands that have grown up holding video game controllers and not tools.

This is what happens when society that demonizes inanimate objects.  First they try and ban guns.  They the put in place very restrictive knife laws.   Then whey they ultimately have a culture that assumes every pocket knife is a weapon and good people don’t carry knifes, the first time a hipster wants to show off at a cookout he ends up having to have several fingers re-attached.

 

 

Perspective

We’re taking a road trip from Huntsville to just south a Birmingham for the day.

We pack up all the necessitates, diaper bag, snack bag, etc.

I grab my mini bug out bag and summer weight EDC gear.

My mom asks me “Do you have to be to heavily armed?”

I replied “What do you mean heavily armed?  It’s only two handguns and neither is a .45.”

 

Glass Houses

The ACLU issued a travel warning for Americans who go to Texas because the the sanctuary city ban Texas Governor Greg Abbott just signed into law.

Apparently, for the ACLU it is a horrible violation of a person’s rights to have their immigration status verified after an arrest for another crime.

NYC top douchebag Mayor Bill de Blasio attacked Texas on Twitter.

I guess New Yorkers didn’t get the message about it being the safest April in NYC history, because most people don’t believe the crime stats.  That’s because de Blasio is fudging the stats.    Something that NYC has a history of doing.

Besides, it’s easy to say the crime stats are lower when many offenses were decriminalized by de Blasio.

So color me skeptical of de Blasio’s claims.

All that aside, this is where this post was going.

Years ago, I drove to NYC to visit a buddy of mine that had a college internship in the city.  I was driving my old Suburban with Florida plates and an NRA window sticker.

I got pulled over and searched by the NYPD.  Yes it was an illegal search.  No, I did not consent.  I was a dumb college student without the wherewithal to stand up for myself.

I kept being asked about guns and why I was coming to New York.

I was profiled.  A car with FL plates and an NRA sticker, I had to be a gun runner.

My civil rights were completely violated.

The ACLU has NEVER stood up for this kind of profiling.  NYC liberals are happy to violate any civil rights they don’t agree with.

Here illegally?  They will bend over backwards for you.

Have an NRA sticker on your car?  They will stick a camera up your ass.

Maybe the NRA should publicly issue a Travel Warning to all 150 Million plus gun owners not to go to NYC.  Turnabout is fair play.
