Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Twitter Non-Persons the account of the famous French satirical magazine.
Why? Possibly for being the satirical assholes they always rightfully have been:
The sad part is that those defending Charlie Hebdo and their right to be jerks overwhelm the Cancel Culture Wailers.
The work of MinTruth is never done.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Given that the faux b***h is just as fraudulent as Floyd George was, Charlie is au point with this one.
“The sad part is that those defending Charlie Hebdo and their right to be jerks overwhelm the Cancel Culture Wailers.”
Why is that sad? That is what free speech is all about. Charlie Hebdo has every right to be as offensive as they like, on any subject they like. One of the great disasters of our time is the loss of the cultural belief in free expression; it used to be a deeply ingrained part of this culture – not always, and not perfectly. But still important, and widespread. As has been said:
“Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.”
― Learned Hand, Spirit of Liberty
I wonder how much liberty we have left. I console myself by reminding myself that Twitter is not the real world – it’s not even representative of the real world. The vast majority of Americans have never posted a single tweet. I certainly never will.
BTW: frankly, I have no sympathy for the whiny rich “princess” complaining about her privileged life.
“The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”
