War is officially declared

This is a post from the official Boston Antifa Facebook Page.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you.  This group is now flying a flag with an outright statement that it will use violent force to take away your freedoms.

The Gadsden flag is quite clear on its message: leave me alone.

Antifa is wants to be the boot stamping in a human face forever.

They can couch their stance as fighting to stand up for the little guy.

They can put out cartoons making it look like they are freedom fighters.

But with that flag, the mask has slipped.  They have made it crystal clear that your desire to be left alone will not be respected.  If you are not in the Black Bloc, you are against them.  If you are not wearing the boot, it will be put on your neck.  There is no slight against them too mild that it is not seen as provocation.

This is the same group that threatened to dox a reporter for insulting them on Twitter.

This is a declaration of war against anybody who enjoys their civil rights and freedom.

All I can say to this is:

You motherfuckers better be absolutely sure you know what you’re getting into.  

The Gadsden Flag is emblazoned with an American Eastern Diamond Back Rattlesnake.  There is a meaning in choosing an aggressive, venomous snake to represent us.  It’s not a smart move to try and grab one, like the fist on their flag is doing.  That usually ends up bad for the person that tries.

Attempt to tread on me and I will introduce them to another item emblazoned   aggressive, venomous snake on it: a Bushmaster.

If the people I know with DTOM stickers on their trucks are representative of a fraction of those who subscribe to that belief, it is not going to be stick fight with sign poles and batting helmets.  Antifa street medics better start brushing up on how to treat sucking chest wounds and traumatic blood loss.

 

Hemlock or Exile

Stacy Washington is a black, female political pundit, whose politics happen to be right of center.  She runs a website and a radio show called Stacy on the Right.

On Friday, April 28th, she published an OpEd in the St. Louis Times called Stacy Washington: Guns and the media.  In it, she had the audacity to suggest that the NRA and law abiding gun owners are not evil monsters on par with ISIS, stop calling them that and the media needs to stop being vehemently anti NRA.

Kennedy then describes the barbaric nature of the Islamic State and goes on to say of law-abiding, gun-owning Americans: “What makes the NRA so feared is its willingness to spend heavily and campaign aggressively in pursuit of its goal of removing all restrictions on the possession and use of firearms just about anywhere by just about anyone.”

Amusing. NRA members committed none of the gun crimes that he mentioned in his article. When inner-city residents complain of crime in their neighborhoods or decry the lack of adequate policing, the NRA or its membership are never mentioned…

To further illustrate the ridiculous nature of Kennedy’s comparison, when has a member of the NRA ever decapitated, set on fire, tossed from a rooftop or otherwise terrorized another American? The linkage is not only rife with improper context; it is false on its face.
For the sin of defending the NRA, the St. Louis Time has decided to end her column forever, blaming a conflict of interest.  The SLT seems to believe the only reason a reporter would defend the NRA is because they were on the NRA’s payroll.  Thereby proving her point.
Over at the New York Times, the new hire Bret Stephens published this OpEd, Climate of Complete Certainty.  In it he acknowledged that humans are in fact changing the atmosphere, but that the rhetoric of Left Wing environmentalists/climate change fanatics isn’t doing their side any favors with hysterical, apocalyptic predictions about climate change and calling people who doubt the predictions stupid.
Well, not entirely. As Andrew Revkin wrote last year about his storied career as an environmental reporter at The Times, “I saw a widening gap between what scientists had been learning about global warming and what advocates were claiming as they pushed ever harder to pass climate legislation.” The science was generally scrupulous. The boosters who claimed its authority weren’t.
Let me put it another way. Claiming total certainty about the science traduces the spirit of science and creates openings for doubt whenever a climate claim proves wrong. Demanding abrupt and expensive changes in public policy raises fair questions about ideological intentions. Censoriously asserting one’s moral superiority and treating skeptics as imbeciles and deplorables wins few converts.  
For his questioning the dogma of climate change, the New York Times was inundated with liberals canceling their subscriptions, and Stephens was attacked on social media by other journalists.  Some of the attacks even had an anti-Semitic bend to them – i.e. criticizing Stephens climate change article by condemning his as pro-Israel.
Ann Coulter tried to speak at Berkeley and was shut down by Antifa.
The Left leaning ACLU came to the defense of free speech, even as they insulted Coulter.
For the audacity of trying to defend the First Amendment on a public campus, they were attacked and Leftists threatened to stop donating.
It has become quite clear that the Progressive Left has become the Trial of Socrates.  Anyone who dares to say anything that goes slightly against the dogma of the left must be shut down.  There is no room for debate anymore.  It is an ideological purity test, administered by the most fervent of believers and those who don’t pass will be exiled.  Antifa has become the Muṭawwi (Islamic religious morality police) of the Left, openly beating those who don’t conform.
This is dangerous as hell and a threat to the very foundation of our society.

Deep Thoughts

One of my absolute favorite quotes is by George Orwell, when he said “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”

I truly believe this defines so much of the Progressive left.  Just when you think you read something so dumb that it might give you an aneurysm, another “intellectual” comes along and says something that gives you cancer.

For today’s near bout with death, we have to turn to the deep thinkers at the Huffington Post.

A Revision on the Bill of Rights, Part III

Oh great, here is some leftist who is going to deconstruct our God given, Constitutionally protected rights, and tell us why they are so bad today.

Lay your big brain on me Snowflake.

The Second Amendment is highly contested. There is no doubt that people do have the right to carry and have a stockpile of guns (“the right of the people to keep and bear arms”) and a state has the right to organize a well-regulated Militia. But, the main issue is on the right to self-defend with a firearm.

Holy shit, he got that right!

The main problem with the notion of self-defense is it imposes on justice, for everyone has the right for a fair trial. Therefore, using a firearm to defend oneself is not legal because if the attacker is killed, he or she is devoid of his or her rights.

Oh for fuck’s sake Snowflake, we’re past Forrest Whitaker Eye here.  I think this gave me a stroke.

Let me explain why this is so wrong.  Your right to a fair trial does not supersede my right to life.

At the very beginning of this country.  Before any other law was established, the very first thing our Founders put on paper was the right to life.  It’s in the Deceleration of Independence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I have the right to meet force with force.  I can meet the threat of deadly force with deadly force.  My top priority is the preservation of my life.

You are literally asking me to die so that you can exercise your right to a fair trial for my murder.

You are placing the rights of the attacker over the life of the victim.

Do you have any idea how awesomely bat-shit crazy that sounds?

In addition, one’s mental capacity is a major factor in deciding whether a man or woman has the right to have a firearm. There are two reasons for ensuring mental capacity. First, one of the Five Aims is to ensure domestic tranquility and there can be no tranquility if one does not have the capacity.

First of all, the Second Amendment was ratified along with the rest of the Constitution in 1789.  The ban on those adjudicated mentally ill from possessing guns was passed in 1968.  For 179 years, this wasn’t an issue.

But to the point, this definition of domestic tranquility is wrong.  Domestic Tranquility as it pertains to the Federal Government is to enforce peace among the states, such as settling interstate disputes and quashing rebellion.  It has nothing to do with mentally ill people.

Second, if one’s brain is distorting his or her reality, they do not have the proper reasoning and deduction skills to use a firearm.

Given how this article started, it’s clear that Snowflake here doesn’t have the reasoning and deduction skills to own a gun.  Now he’s just projecting that onto the rest of us.

Therefore, if we ponder and meditate on the recent events in news about guns, it would be obvious that the current state is incorrect.

It’s not, see Heller v. DC and McDonald v. Chicago.

A gun for civilians is a weapon for a revolution and not for ordinary use.

It’s good for both.  McDonald addresses this.  So does Moore v. Madigan.  I have the right to carry a gun outside the home for my own defense.  That is an ordinary use.

The belief that a gun is a useful tool to protect one is counterintuitive because guns get into the hands of people who use them for horrible reasons.

Snowflake here as a First Amendment right to print this shit-smear advocating against civil liberties.  I believe in the First Amendment even though horrible OpEds like this get printed.

Also, just because one person abuses their gun rights doesn’t mean I should lose my rights.  That’s called collective punishment, and is antithetical to civil rights.  We are a nation of individuals, not a collective mass.

In addition, there are reasons why cops are trained to use a firearm in stressful situations.  It is not to keep their mind at ease or anything of that sort, but to be able to fire accurately at the target in the correct location

Technical foul – appeal to authority fallacy.

Cops are poorly trained.  Case in point: two officers with the NYPD get in a shootout with a bad gun.  They fire 16 rounds and hit 9 bystanders.  This is not a lone example of the NYPD spraying bullets into bystanders, it’s happened more than once.  These “New York’s Finest” are more of a danger to the public than I am.

It is immensely difficult to fire when under pressure.

That’s why I practice.

Moreover, one may argue this is an analogous argument and yes it is because the United States government is lobbied to not study or fund research that observes the effects of guns. This cripples the chance of evaluating a proper policy to deal with gun violence. But, there was one study by ABC, which observed using guns in a classroom. All the participations poorly performed at the mock situation.

I wouldn’t call that video a “study.”  But so what?  So what if in one mock scenario the concealed carrier didn’t go all John Wick on the shooter?  Are all of our civil liberties at the mercy of a ABC new special report?  Some sleaze-bag reporter stages an incident and now the Bill of Rights is null and void?

Our Constitution was drafted EXPLICITLY to preserve our rights no matter the way the winds of public opinion blow.

Once again, if there is an argument in the reasoning of this amendment and others, one must filter it through the Five Aims of the USA and the Bill of Rights. This is to ensure that any argument can be answered, avoiding a political divide.

What the fuck does that mean?  The Preamble doesn’t trump the Bill of Rights and the Second Amendment is IN the Bill of Rights.  So that is a nonsensical statement.  The avoiding political divide part is laughable.   This whole OpEd is a Progressive attack on gun rights, using every opportunity to restrict that right.  This is a partisan hackish as one can get on the subject.

This OpEd is not deep.  It is a shallow bit of bullshit that tries to justify taking away civil liberties because of the writer’s opinion on how guns are hard to use and scary.

It’s my opinion that stupid, historically and legally illiterate OpEds in HuffPo reinforce an echo chamber and are bad for the national discourse and should be banned.  This Snowflake is abusing the First Amendment and so we should end that civil liberty, right?  It’s the responsible thing to do for the domestic tranquility, right?

Or let’s not open that can of worms and respect the Bill of Rights.

Stupid fuck.

Bravest man on Earth

Yesterday, an unnamed man inturrepted the start of the Cuban May Day parade by running out in front of the parade waving an American flag over his head in full view of Raul Castro.

He was eventually caught by security and hauled away.

By now he is most likely dead.  If he was very lucky, he was simply shot.  If not, he may have been tortured to death.

He did this having to know how it would end.  There is no way for him to have escaped. 

This man, on Monday May 1st, 2017, was the bravest man on the planet.   Giving his life to show the tiniest spark of freedom loving defiance in the face of tyranny.

I’m pretty sure he stayed in Cuba only because there wasn’t a boat big enough to carry his balls across the Florida Straights. 

Compare this man’s actions to that of the masked Antifa.  Destroying property under the veil of anonymity, demanding communist tyrant in a land of free speech. They are chicken shit cowards compared to this Cuban man.

I have no idea who he was, I probably never will, but god rest his soul.  He showed the world that no matter how oppressed a people, there still exists a ray of hope and a glint of rebellion.

The war is on

Late Sunday night I wrote the post And the War is Begun about the actions of Antifa shutting down the Portland 82nd annual Avenue of Roses Parade.

It posted this morning May 1st.

It didn’t occur to me that today was May Day, also known as the International Workers Day.  A day in which people who are historically illiterate and have shit in their souls whitewash and celebrate the murder of 100 million people in the pursuit of taking away their freedom.

Every single one of them should spend May Day in Caracas.

Well, Antifa in Portland, which is anti-capitalist and aligned with the anarchist-socialists, decided to have a protest, which turned into a riot.

Police attempted to control the crowd, but things got out of hand.  Fires were set and rocks and Pepsi cans were thrown at police.

You can see the gallery of destruction and live updates here.

It shouldn’t have gotten this bad in the first place.  Antifa should never have thought that they had the room to pull this off.

Give these people an inch and they will riot for a mile.

They know that they are winning against milquetoast police departments and are planning more and more violence accordingly.

Be safe.  Stay the hell away from these people.

 

UT Austin Stabbing and the Narrative UPDATE

A mass stabbing occurred today on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin.

According to the latest reports, one student is dead, three more have been injured, and the attacker has been taken into custody.

The attacker was stopped and taken into custody when a member of Cocks Not Glocks, founded at UT Austin,  defended fellow students with a large, double ended dildo.

No, wait, that last part didn’t happen.

The attack ended when a UT Austin student with a CCW permit drew his firearm causing the suspect to flee.

All the big rubber cocks and fake body armor hoodies didn’t do anything to stop people from being hurt.

A CCW permit holder with a gun did.

I guess the carrying dildos is appropriate for these students.  They let everyone know who in a crisis is just a useless dick.

UPDATE: The report of the CCW stopping the stabbing is unconfirmed.  I’m not taking the post down, but I will wait for further details.

And the war is begun

Saturday, April 29th, was supposed to be the 82nd annual Avenue of Roses Parade in Portland, Oregon.

It was canceled.

Why?

Organizers of the 82nd Avenue of Roses Parade announced Tuesday that the event will be canceled, for fear that the east Portland parade could be disrupted by “the type of riots which happen in downtown Portland.”

Threats by Antifa ended the Rose Parade.

Why would Antfa go after a parade about flowers?

This year’s parade was once again set to feature the Multnomah County Republican Party as one of the many groups slated to march, but that inclusion drew ire from some of the city’s left-leaning protest groups.

The county Republican Party was going to be the 67th float in the parade, which probably puts them somewhere behind the Boy Scouts, 4H, and the local roller derby team; but that was just still too much representation for Antifa to tolerate.

The email explicitly mentioned that at least 200 protesters were ready to “rush into the parade into the middle and drag and push [the Republican marchers] out.”

Antifa threatened to attack Republicans at the Rose Parade.  Their justification for the threat of attack was:

We will not give one inch to groups who espouse hatred toward LGBT, immigrants, people of color or others.”

It really doesn’t matter the personal beliefs of the individuals being attacked.  This is collective punishment against Republicans because of what Antifa believes the Straw Man of the GOP they created believes.

Why did Antifa think they could get away with attacking the Rose Parade?

Because history told them they could.

“You have seen how much power we have downtown and that the police cannot stop us from shutting down roads so please consider your decision wisely,” the anonymous email said, referring to the violent riots that hit Portland after the 2016 presidential election, reported the Oregonian. “This is nonnegotiable.”

This is terrorism.

Berkeley Antifa got Ann Coulter shut down twice.

The Black Bloc, which is the tactic used by Antifa, previously got Milo’s speech shut down.

The Berkeley police “hands off” approach to the riots made them worse.

Antifa has learned that on the Blue, Left Coast of America, they rule.  The police won’t try and stop them.  They hold the power and can shut down whatever venue they want for whatever reason they want.

The terrorist have won.

These Antifa victories, let’s not lie that’s what they are, are emboldening to use more intimidation tactics.

When Daily Wire and Times of Israel blogger Elliott Hamilton made fun of Boston Antifa on Twitter, they responded with threats.

This will not stop unless law enforcement stops it, and it seems that in some parts of America, the powers that be are letting Antifa get away with their actions because of #TheResistance.

When Progressives are attacking the ALCU online for defending free speech, you know that the standard for what counts as a “Nazi” is set too low.

Antifa is hearing loud and clear that it can target anyone for any reason and get away with threatening or using violence to silence undesired opinions.

At this point there is no telling what will set these hair-trigger Brown-Shirted-snowflakes off.  Even if you are not looking for a fight, they are ready to bring one.

Be careful and be armed.
