As usual, check the list and make sure you Congresscritter is listed. If not, drop several lines to poke him/her in the right direction.

The Progressive government of the city of New York City, under Progressive mayor Bill de Blasio, decriminalized public urination as well as a number of other quality of life crimes in the city.  This has lead to a spike in overall misery for law abiding tax payers in NYC, with the NY Daily News putting out this cover.

Well, when you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll want a glass of milk.

When you give a vagrant the right to piss on a sidewalk, a pervert will piss on the face of a woman in  subway.

I have come to agree with the Progressive establishment of NYC and Blue America, national concealed carry is a bad idea.

I’m just a simple, unsophisticated rube from the Deep South.  So if I was in NYC, and was packing, and someone peed on me, or my wife, I wouldn’t be woke enough to tolerate this person’s unique sexual identity and/or culture and let him finish and leave the subway when he was done.

I’d go completely Bernie Fucking Goetz on that freak before he gave me the Hyper-AIDS.

I think it’s best for everybody that people like make stay the hell out of the Big Apple, especially with our guns, before we decimate the city’s population of pervs and weirdos that culturally enrich the city with their special sexual identities.

Just found out that Linda L. a dear lady and shooting friend has passed. The South Florida shooting community and specially IDPA lost a great person today. She was one of my wife’s instructors and she was a calming and humorous influence at IDPA Matches.

To her family, please know that we have her and all of you in our prayers.

Norman Borlaug was a pioneer in genetic modification of crops.  He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for developing high nutrient, drought resistant crops that were credited with saving over one billion lives.

Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine.

William Shockley invented the transistor, which made the whole universe of electronics and digital technology possible.

The list of people who impacted the world in great and meaningful ways could go on forever.

Then there is Jill Filipovic.  She is a writer, and she tweeted this:

Nihilism is a philosophy that says, among other things, that life has no intrinsic value.  This tweet is pathological nihilism.

For her, the measure of a human life is only in the resources that it consumes.

Never mind the potential for greatness.  The ability to improve the world.  A human life is simply a detriment to the planet.

I wonder what she would say about people like Borlaug, or Salk, or even Einstein, or Gates and Jobs.  Where they worth the resources they consumed?

What is her standard for a return on investment for just how much environmental damage a person does just by living?  Is being a middle class, tax paying, family man with a good job enough, or would the balance of the universe be better of if he had not existed?

When the worth of a life is measured only by how little resource that life consumes the most value a person can have is to die quickly.

This is one of the most disgusting and disheartening things I’ve ever seen.

If it weren’t for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all.

The hypocrites over at Everytown posted this article from The Trace.

Everytown has the gall to come down with the vapors that the NRA has a problem with Liberals and the Media and might actually think they are the enemy.

Seeing as how their hero, Hillary Clinton, actually called the NRA her enemy during her campaign, all i can say is “gimme a fucking break.”

Maybe it is when Comedy Central refers to the NRA show as “the Comic-Con of Death” that maybe they’ve gone too far.

Or when Conan O’Brien attacked us at the correspondents dinner.

Or maybe it was when Michael Ian Black called us terrorists.

Or when the NY Times editorial staff called us terrorists.

Or when a MoveOn.org petition was created that tried to declare the NRA a terrorist organization.

Or when Salon said the NRA is backing terrorism.

Or when the NY Daily News put out these cover pages.

Or maybe it was when bill Maher shared this cartoon on his Twitter feed.

Or maybe it was when the Media pushed the story that ISIS was using the NRA to buy weapons in the US.

Or maybe it was every political cartoon that showed NRA members as fat, stupid, ignorant, rednecks.

Maybe you declared us your enemies first, and have spent years attacking us relentlessly and we’re just tired of it.  We have won major victories in court and now we are going to war for the pop culture.

The Trump victory showed that we have a fighting chance to take control of the narrative.

So don’t clutch your pearls when we decide to fight back.  We have been taking your abuse for years.
