Making sense
The New York Times is confused why Republicans don’t want more gun restrictions and want more concealed carry after the Alexandria shooting.
At first the answer is obvious. Republicans under attack want to defend themselves.
I think there is more to the NYT pearl clutching than that. The Revolution Chic of the Leftist Elite like their revolutionaries alive.
Saul Alinsky and Bernardine Dohrn are both professors. Mumia Abu Jamal and Oscar Lopez Rivera became celebrities from prison.
There is nothing for limousine liberals to gain from one of their revolutionaries getting shot by an armed Congressional aide while trying to ambush a Congressman. It makes them look even more unhinged and concealed carry a better idea.
We need to be easy targets for them to get their Che wannabe rocks off. Notice how there wasn’t a problem with Antifa until a bunch of Alt-Right fought back and kicked some ass?
They will never admit to it but I think it’s true.
They can’t enjoy their political snuff film if the intended victim kills the star.
Is Political Hunting Season Open?
Twenty Four hours after the Alexandria Shooting, the Narrative from the Left has been between “Not our Fault, it is your fault” with dashes of “They had it coming” served in a bed of glee and attaboys for the shooter.
Not only there is nor hint of remorse or even willingness to change the rhetoric, it seems that the drums are now beating harder for more people like James T. Hodgkinson to step up and increase the violence. I foresee an increase on violent acts, specially Antifa attacks and for some reason I see them going hard after cops during marches. And the traditional “addressing of injustices via arson” will be making a big appearance.
But none of that really scares me. I mean, I fear people being hurt by the Stupid because they feel entitled to impose their views and kill if necessary, but again, that does not scare me.
What scares me is the silence from our side.
This is not a silence of the cowered. Not the silence of the scared. It is the silence of the people who has had enough and are seriously thinking on returning the favor and then some. I have mentioned many times in this blog that the Left has confused our politeness with cowardice and that was going to prove a costly mistake. I fear we have reached the time where politeness is over and demonstration of how wrong they were is about to begin.

New Normal
Not 24 hours previously, I wrote a post detailing how the media bent over backwards to ignore the inconvenient fact that the Pulse nightclub shooting was an act of Islamic Terrorism. I then remembered that I had written a similar post back in January covering an attempt by DC comics to rewrite the Pulse shooting into an anti-Conservative narrative.
In the last three months I have as many posts covering Left Wing on campus violence. Students at Evergreen State hitting people with bats for not sufficiently believing in Social Justice. A professor bashing people with a bike lock and another calling for the mas murder of Republicans.
This morning a raging Bernie Bro opened fire on the GOP baseball team during practice. Congressman Steve Scalise was hit and is in critical condition two police officers were also wounded in the attack.
Immediately, our betters on the Left circled the wagons around The Narrative.
Shannon Watts, continuing to push her third wave feminist brand of anti-gun activism where women are always the victims of men and husbands and boyfriends are the most dangerous thing in a woman’s life, put this gem on Twitter.
Of course this had nothing to do with Hodgkinson’s raging anti-Trump/anti-GOP opinion. He was a man, and men beat women, and after they are done with that, they shoot people. QED.
Shaun King went to his corner and just blamed white people in general.
If that was the worst of it, you underestimate the hatred of the Left.
Chris Matthews, who blamed Sarah Palin for the Gabby Giffords shorting by an apolitical crazy person, tried to create empathy for Hodgkinson.
Newsweek on the other hand, tried to take sympathy away from Representative Scalise by linking him to Trump.
But for read depravity, you have to turn away from the professional journalists and to social media.
Shooting Republican members of the House was justified because of healthcare reform.
This was not a lone opinion.
Others tried to justify the shooting on the grounds of the Republican support for gun rights.
In response to this old Tweet by Senator Paul:
This was said:
Of course, there were calls or encouragement for more of this type of violence.
Welcome to 2017.
When we are attacked by radical Islamic terrorists, the Left whitewashes it and hand waves it away. Nothing to see here, don’t be an Islamophobe.
When Antifa is punching people and calling them NAZIS, the Mayor of Berkeley supports them, and gives police the order not to interfere with their actions. Then the media explains why in the age of Trump, Left Wing violence is justified.
And when there is an attempted mass murder of Republican members of Congress, the Republicans were asking for it with their support of gun rights and healthcare reform. Maybe even a few more should be killed.
This cannot be the new normal.
The Left cannot stack the bodies high and then explain it all away.
The millions of Americans in Middle America and the people they elect as our Representatives are not fodder for neo Brownshirt goons. We are not going to let ourselves be attacked and then told that our skirt was too short our politics were wrong.
This cannot be allowed to happen.
The Fake Media Gun Experts strike again.
These were confirmed reports, OK?
And then reality strikes:
For the Ballistically Impaired:
Remember, these are the same people who want you to believe them on other aspects of guns, gun control and self-defense law. Yet they confused a 1977 Ford F-150 Pick Up Truck with a Ferrari Enzo.
