SJW Thoughts

This paraphrasing brought to you by watching videos of the Women’s March on Saturday.

SJW 1: “The Founding Fathers were racists.  They owned slaves.  Never mind that slavery was normal in the 1780’s.  This makes them hypocrites when they wrote about liberty and freedom in the Constitution.  Their racism makes the Constitution null and void today.”

SJW 2: “Planned Parenthood is a wonderful organization and Margaret Sanger is a hero.  Never mind that she was an advocate of eugenics and abortion for reducing the size of the black race, eugenics was popular in the 1920’s, it doesn’t mean anything.”

Me: *head spinning*

P.S.  my hard drive shattered spectacularly on Sunday.  My blogging will be light and limited until my new computer comes in. 

You’ve gone a long way baby

According to Merriam- Webster, the word hysterical means behavior exhibiting overwhelming or unmanageable fear or emotional excess.  The etymology of the word hysterical comes from the Greek for womb.  The Greeks believed that women suffered from a disorder of the womb that caused them to become crazy.

Watching the Women’s March that occurred surrounding the inauguration of Donald Trump, I think the Ancient Greeks were right.

First of all was this woman claiming that We did the math and there’s literally not enough wine to get us through a Trump presidency.”  Using alcohol to cope with emotional issues is a classic sign of a substance abuse problem.  It’s not cute, it’s a debilitation.  This woman needs help.

At the marches themselves, so much of what I saw from the Women’s March was just gross.  In Los Angeles, women hung bras from trees.  What was the message they were trying to send with that?  I don’t know.

In D.C., women were sticking feminine hygiene pads with message written on them to walls.  Just yuck.

The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.  I  have read some of the things written on the pads and I haven’t seen one that I would consider a redress of grievances that the the Government can address.

What the hell is the woman who stuck this up thinking?  As a man, I think periods are gross.  As a man, I believe that rape should be punishable by death and I completely support the right to concealed carry hoping that if a woman is attacked, she shoots and kills her rapist.  Seeing as how in the US rape is punishable by time in prison and having a period is not, this makes no sense.

The vagina costumes were out in force.  There was also sign after sign of fully illustrated female anatomy.

Again, not sure the the message here is supposed to be.  Just yuck.

Of course, there were the pussyhats.

Here’s what I don’t get.  Feminist women usually complain about the objectification and sexulization of women.  Then they carry signs and protest in a way the focuses entirely on their sexual organs.  “Don’t sexualize me, here’s my pussy!!!”  I just can’t follow this train of though.  “Respect me as a person, think about my vagina.”  The hypocrisy here is incredible, and is giving me whiplash.

One of the common themes was the “Nasty Woman.”  Nasty woman became a term of solidarity after Trump called Hillary a “nasty woman” during a debate.

Here’s the thing:  It was well known that Hillary was abusive to her Secret Service detail and White House staff.  It was well known that she was abusive to Bill Clinton both verbally and physically.  She was in every way a classic domestic abuser with a sense of entitlement.  It is known that she would call Bill’s campaign manager a “fucking Jew bastard.”

She is a terrible, entitled person.  She is a domestic abuser.  She treats subordinates with contempt.  This is the “nasty woman” Trump was referring to.  For women to claim this for solidarity is objectively terrible.  Name me any other time women would stand in solidarity with a domestic abuser?

Where this hodge podge of inconsistent and contradictory messages really crosses the threshold for me is when it comes to “resistance.”

Ha ha, nope.

Nope.  Gross, but nope.

 

Definitely nope.  Still gross.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that since these women are overwhelmingly liberal, they are probably anti-Gun.    Princess Leah was a warrior.  She carried a blaster and she killed Stormtroopers.  When you say something “has teeth” it means that it has the power to hurt you.  The implication of the “pussy grabs back” is that force will be met with force.

Protesting and holding signs is not force.  If “Trump is literally Hitler” do you think he would give a shit about some signs.  No.  His Brown Shirts would be out in force knocking the heads of those women with their signs.  This is how I also know there is no war on women.  If there was, they wouldn’t be allowed to march.

The Second Amendment exists because that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, that is done with guns.  The Second Amendment is this nation’s ultimate reset button.  It gives the citizenry the ability to meet force with force and combat tyranny.

That is why Princess Leah shot people.

At a personal level, the right to keep and bear arms gives every person the ability to defend themselves, to repel assault, to (again) meet force with force.

These gun control loving, gun free zone promoting can’t me force with force.  They can’t repel an assault.  They routinely criticize and mock gun owners for calling themselves a safeguard against tyranny, since the military will defeat us in a day.  They call us insurrectionists for even thinking that it is our right to defend ourselves against a despotic government

We consider a standard combat load 180 rounds.  For them it is 140 characters.  Their call for resistance s a joke.  Their threats are empty.  They have no teeth.  They gave theirs up and want to pull ours.

This march was an embarrassment.  It was a gross cacophony of hypocrisy and confusing messages.

I think the message of this march could best be described by Shakespeare: Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

 

 

Some facts for Sanders

I saw this clip online, then I saw it blow up all over Facebook.  It is of Sen Bernie Sanders telling Trump’s nominee for HHS Secretary, Tom Price, that America is not a compassionate society.

Price’s response was pathetically weak tea.

This is my response.  Consider it my official application for a speechwriter for Team Trump.

 

“Senator Sanders, you compared Canada’s healthcare system to that of the US.  Here are some numbers for you to consider.  The population of Canada is about 36 million people.  The population of California is almost 39 million people.  The population of the US as a whole is over 320 million people.    By comparison, our most populous state is larger than their entire country and our country is almost 10 times their size.

The GDP/GNI of the US is about $17 Trillion.  According to Forbes, the average healthcare consumed per person in the US is about $10,000 per year.

Doing the math, that means that healthcare costs in the US are about $3.2 Trillion.  That puts the total cost of healthcare in the US at nearly one fifth of the US economy.

My question for you is: where do we get the $3.2 trillion minimum, necessary to cover America’s healthcare costs?

It is true that 47% of the American people to not pay Federal Income Tax.  I acknowledge that these people pay other Federal taxes in one way or another, Social Security Tax, Payroll Tax, fuel excise tax, etc.  But every one of those taxes goes to a specific use, Social Security, Federal unemployment, highways, etc.  It does not contribute to the general fund.

Your are in essence proposing that half of America cover the healthcare costs of themselves and the other half of America.  If they don’t, they get their door kicked in by a SWAT team and go to prison for tax evasion.

I’m sorry, but I do not consider that to be the definition of compassion.

The nominal Tax Rate in Canada is 42%.  Liberals will say that Canada has low taxes, only by focusing on the income tax.

To cover the additional cost of healthcare, if you raised my tax rate to equivalent to that of my Canadian counterpart, my tax burden would go up by almost $15,000.  That is more than four times my current deductible.  The trade off for me as a working American making above the median household income but below $250,000, is a loss of $11,000 per year.  I would pay $15,000 more in taxes to avoid a $4,000 deductible.   That will make it harder for me to make ends meet.

I understand compassion, but why does your definition of compassion mean that it is harder for me to buy a car or put a roof over my head or pay off my student loans or anything else I can do with $11,000 of my hard earned money?

Does our healthcare system need improvement?  Of course.  I am not going to deny that.  Adding $3.2 trillion to the budget is not the way to fix that.

You can say that I lack compassion because of my belief.  But under your plan, forcing me to be compassionate means that I lose my house.”

Complete Deceit

On Miguel’s advice, I went over to the Moms Demand Action – Florida Facebook page.   Not 10 seconds in and I was overwhelmed by their lies.

That’s right.  According to MDA, the shooting in a Miami park on MLK Day was the result of the NRA’s “guns everywhere, all the time” policy.

Well, the the Police are reporting that the shooting was caused by gang rivalry.  Call it prejudice, but suspicion tells me that a bunch of gang members probably aren’t Florida CCW permit holders.  No news outlet reported that anybody arrested has a CCW permit.

As an NRA member, I don’t recall the organization I belong to advocating for gang members and criminals to be allowed to run around with guns getting engaged in gang on gang shootouts.

They do advocate for the right of CCW permit holders to be able to carry lawfully, without the inconvenience of certain public places like parks being gun free zones.  Again I’ll make the argument.  If I’m a CCW permit holder, legally carrying concealed, why can I walk down a city sidewalk with my gun but not down a footpath through a local park?  Will my gun taint the park with its gun cooties?  The idea that a city should be a patchwork of places where it is legal to carry in some locations and illegal in others is ridiculous.  All that really does is make it more likely for a CCW permit holder to get in trouble for accidentally cutting through a gun free zone and not knowing it.

Conflating the argument for allowing CCW permit holders to carry in city parks with allowing gangs to turn parks into battle grounds is either a level of stupidity that makes me think anybody who believes that is too dumb to be able to post anything to Facebook, or deliberately misleading to scare uninformed people.

Seeing as how MDA posted this, I’m going with deliberately misleading.

T minus 24h

I know that despite two months of whining, crying, pissing, and moaning that the overwhelming number of liberals demanding revolution and resistance to Trump’s inauguration are going to puss out and be relegated to emoting online.

There is a tiny, tiny part of me that does wish they would man up and fight in real life like they fantasize about in their echo chambers.

It would be all the excitement of getting to fight commies and terrorists without the burden of having sleep in a foxhole in some third world shithole.

I only wish I had some grenades.

Girl finds gun followup

I went to the news the link from Miguel’s post Moms Demand (Fl Chapter) makes it too easy. Girl Finds Gun.  In the comments of the news article I saw this.

To quote The Toolman: “Reply to @Carole Green Most likely not stolen due to the fact it still has the serial number on the side of the slide.”

I do work in firearm forensics.  We provide resources to law enforcement when they need our expertise.  The idea that criminals routinely file off serial numbers is some TV CSI bullshit.

Here’s why.  Destroying a serial number is UBER VERBOTEN.  Criminals are not all dumb.  Getting caught with an illegal gun may net you a year in prison if you can’t get a plead to something lower.  Getting caught with a firearm with a destroyed serial number is a one way ticket to a Federal prison.  It seriously ups the ante.

It is so uber verboten that a licensed manufacturer can’t destroy the serial number of a gun it made without a massive load of paperwork.

In the risk vs. reward of being nabbed with a stolen gun vs. a gun with a destroyed serial number, get nabbed with the stolen gun and be prepared to roll over on the guy that sold you the hot piece.

Stop taking your gun knowledge from TV.  It’s not good for your arguments.

Musings from a busy news day

I thought I would touch on some stuff that happened in the news today.

Barack Obama is doing his best to engage in a scorched earth policy on his way out of the White House.  First Obama tried to stick it to Israel by having the US abstain from a UN vote condemning Israeli settlements.  This act is of huge symbolic importance, laying the root of the Palestinian conflict on Israel’s building houses and not on Palestinian Jew hatred.

Then Obama started emptying Gitmo and releasing known terrorists back to the Middle East.

Now Obama has commuted the sentence of the Traitor Bradly “Chelsea” Manning.

My sister is a full fledged communist.  She goes to protests and hands out fliers.  She loves Manning, and so do her cohorts.  According to her group and like minded Leftists, America is the most evil, violent, and colonialist nation on earth.  America is just awful, Israel comes in a close second.  All of the rah-rah-rah about freedom and liberty is just a lie to cover up America’s crimes against poor brown people around the world.

When Manning leaked the information that it did, the information pulled the mask of America’s invasion of the Middle East.  It showed that we were just war mongers killing brown people for fun and profit.  That the info got American soldiers killed was just icing on the cake.  To them, Manning is a hero, a fighter for the underdog.

It has become obvious that Obama feels the same way.  He commuted Manning’s sentence and then went on commute the sentence of FALN bomber and domestic terrorist, Oscar Lopez-Rivera.  Keep in mind Lopez-Rivera killed four Americans and wounded more than 60 more to gain Puerto Rican independence from the US and turn it into a socialist nation.  He is a self admitted, unrepentant, anti-American terrorist.

Hate America, kill Americans, Obama will set you free.

Here is where this gets worse.  Like I said, Manning is a hero to the radial, America-hating Left.  I predict that Manning will spend the next few years living a life of luxury and largess being toured around and wined and dined by these people.  They will all pay to bask in the glory of this stunning and brave darling of the Left.

I believe that Manning should have been stood up blindfolded against a wall and shot, then buried in a unmarked grave.

Instead, I’m sure, it is going to live a live of luxury on the anti-American speaking tour with a book deal and everything.

I am NOT inciting someone to do anything bad to Manning, but if I read that it met its end in a violent death by some unknown patriots, I will believe that divine justice has been served.

This part is inspired by a conversation I had a work to day and Miguel’s last post.

I have talked about the Purge movies before.  A core principle of the Far Left/Progressives is to fantasize about killing everybody that isn’t like them.  The Left is also very good at projection.  Combine those two and you get The Purge.  The Left sees Republicans as the party of rich, white men.  So obviously, put rich, white men in charge with unchecked power and they will try to kill all the poor, brown people.

Except the economics of that never made any sense to me.  I don’t want to kill the poor or working class.  Why would I.  We are all tied together in the economy.  I couldn’t do my job without working class hourly employees in manufacturing on the assembly line.  A nation needs people from top to bottom.  Form those who pour concrete and rotate tires up to doctors and bankers and everybody in between.

To put it bluntly, if the rich, white guys killed everybody that wasn’t a rich, white guy; who would assemble the Mercedes and fish for lobster and build the mansions, etc.  It makes no sense.

This is why so many on the Left seem to think that poor and working class people who vote Republican are voting against their best interests.

There is a group of poor that the Republicans look down upon, and that is those who live off of welfare.  Believe me, when I was a grad student, living on my own, making all of $15K per year.  I HATED those motherfuckers who bought Mountain Dew and Doritos with EBT and then got cashback and used the cash for beer and cigarettes.  Even then, I didn’t want to murder them.  I just wanted to cut their welfare and either have them work or starve.

If all you do is hate Republicans and project your worst feelings onto them, The Purge is a brilliant prediction of the Trump presidency.

 

So I go online and read the rantings of celeb after celeb calling for Revolution or uprising or some violent act to prevent Trump, the hero of the working class, from being sworn in.

They seem to have this idea that a second American revolution will involve the working class overthrowing the rich, white, GOP like they were the Czars during the October Revolution.

Nah…  A second American Revolution will look like a cross between the French Revolution and The Purge.  I guarantee you, among the survivors you won’t find an overrated incestuous child molester, an actress who hasn’t made anything good since the 80’s who uses an awards show to mock Middle America and their love of football, or a working class charlatan documentary producer who is slowly morphing into an elderly lesbian.

They just can’t comprehend that Middle America isn’t listening to them anymore.  They are trapped inside their bubble, still believing that wealth and fame equals credibility.  They say they want a revolution because they think the fact that they were on TV will protect them from the fallout of endlessly criticizing Middle America.  They are mistaken.  It is precisely BECAUSE they kept thrusting their self important opinion on Middle America when it was least wanted they they will be targeted.

Tell me again how I am a racist, sexist, xenophobic bigot because I am worried that I will go broke and lose my house if Hillary Clinton follows through with her promise to shut down the industry I work in…

The liberal elite taking to Twitter trying to sound like Che really need to take a chill pill, sit down, shut the fuck up, and walk away from social media for a while.

If there is something that unites the working class and the Republican rich, it is hatred of the out of touch, Liberal elite, and they will be the first to the gallows.
